Raid Bosses Dead!

in Cataclysm, Raiding, World of Warcraft

First raid of the expansion was Tuesday night, and we got our group of guys together for a little fun. Started with Bastion of Twilight and worked on Halfus Worldbreaker. It took a couple tries to figure out exactly what to do but we got him down without much trouble.

After that was Valiona & Theralion, which is a pretty tough fight to learn by explanation. There's lots of grouping up and spreading out and grouping back up and moving as a group around a dragon. We were not able to down them the first night, but went back tonight and got them down with a few more attempts.

Cataclysm Heroics

in Cataclysm, heroics, instances, World of Warcraft

I spent almost all of last night running heroics with my guild and let me tell you this, while they are certainly more challenging than wrath heroics were at release, it's not such a gigantic leap as some make it out to be. Crowd Control (while nice) is certainly not something you have to do. As long as you pay attention to the trash and interrupt casting, you can do without it for a large number of the instances. Of course, some of the pulls are just ridiculous and crowd controlling them doesn't really help.

Back to WoW (again for the fourth time)

in Cataclysm, expansion, leveling, Raiding, World of Warcraft, WoW

Well Cataclysm came out Tuesday so I came back and am playing again. Though I'm not playing my paladin just yet. I leveled my Death Knight first, but will level paladin next. This expansion is a lot of fun, very cool quests. I think I will enjoy doing them again just to be able to read them if nothing else!
