So I decided to try a couple Random Heroics, as one of my characters was close to buying able to finally replace the 333 rep legs from Vashj'ir (Prot Paladin).
First, I got Deadmines, which went pretty much without a hitch, 'cept a near-wipe on Cookie. Healer wasn't quite good enough to handle all of the damage.
Then we got BRC... again, two wipes on Corla, dropped group.
Then I got ZG and I was like "OMG....First Corla, now THIS?"
It was a run in-progress, with only Zanzil, the Cache, and Jin'do left. We wipe once in Zanzil, and manage to kill him (barely) on the second try.
Then, Jin'do...
We sat there staring him down for a good 10 minutes while we talked about the fight, and then we got to it.
I had trouble trying to get Jin'do out of the shield but yet stay in the shield myself, but we managed to get through Phase 1 with no deaths. A couple close calls on my part while I was trying to keep him out of the shield, but it went OK.
Then Phase 2 comes, the DPS have a little trouble keeping the ghosts killed off and at first I didn't get what was meant by 'get a troll' but after following a warrior over, I saw the spirit trolls standing there, and I was like "OOOH", lol.
We eventually get onto how to get him to body slam the chains (it takes a couple trolls).
About Chain #2 being down, the healer dies and I'm going down fast because we're trying to get Chain #3 started. But I notice the healer is alive again! That's right, we have a Druid in the group, forgot about that. Then I look at my health and I see a little sliver... Lay on Hands! Now I'm ready.
It takes another troll to get him to body slam the last chain, and two of the 3 DPS are now dead, Chain is at 50%... the chain is down, healer is OOM, and the last DPS drops dead just as the chain has about 100k left.
Shield Slam for 45k crit, a couple Crusader Strikes and next thing I know, the achievement pops up on the screen. I wasn't expecting the boss to die as soon as the last chain was down, I thought we had to finish him off after the last chain or something.
Yaaay.
Also won the healer shield by a greed roll and now I got a nice transmog shield, looks unique.
All in all, everything went better than expected. Two days of the holiday daily will give me the legs.
That was a fun fight, it played more like a raid style boss with all of the running, grabbing a troll, handling the ghost adds, etc even though it was only a 5man boss. And now that I know how to do it, I'll know for future times.
And finally getting my Lashtail Hatchling was nice too. Stupid Mandokir anyways. lol.
