Heroics down. Found a couple healers that arent morons and suddenly heroics became a cakewalk, at least the ones ive been doing. Neato. Unfortunately killing the bosses in heroics just isnt all that cool. TBH the bosses are generally easier than the trash, though i have only done a handful of different heroics, i try to stay away from the Shadow Resist instances.
Ive been sneaking into some Kara runs as OT, which blows quite frankly. when not OTing you are a complete waste, so it was less than ideal, but id get some gear and get some badges. Finally this weekend the kara MT had to leave and a replacement was needed, and they were foolish enough to put their repair bills in my hands.
Illhoof, prince and netherspite got facepwnt. wewt.
Illhoof was cake more or less, though i could tell my gear was less than stellar when all my healers were OOM near the end. Prince punsihed us several times with infernals, once because i nubbed out and ran too far away when an inferal landed on me, and once because my opening threat was horrendous for some reason. bad luck.
Netherspite was more of a challenge as several members didnt know what was going on with beams, and ffs i didnt know all that was needed to "tank" was just the act of standing in the red beam. I assumed i still had to toss up some damage. And seeing how in phase 2 they put me in the green mana sucking beam i was OOM before my turn to tank the second time around. I was all confused. Got it figured out, next time wil be smoother.
It was fun, very exciting, and luckily it was a guild run so the people werent all harping on my noobiness.
I figure if i can do those 3 i can handle everyone else. nightbane might be challenging, maybe, but doubt its as complicated as netherspite.
It was a great feeling being the recipient of all those heals and keeping those big bad monsters in my face.
