Korengelf takes on Ingvar

Korengelf's first heroic guild run tonight (preceded by a couple of VoA runs), not too bad for a freshly minted mage.

Failadin...

Let's see, I'm guessing you were around 14-16, that's not a problem. I run regularly with a 14 year old and I know many of those I've pugged with will be sub-21. Age is not a problem.

Attitude & being competent is.

So let's see...

1. First pull, it's a wipe
   Yes I'm sure you're awesome, however if you pull the entire room, and we're the right level for the instance then we're more than likely to be in some serious trouble.
   
   
2. You're a bl*dy Paladin!
   Holding aggro as a paladin isn't that hard, DPS might be able to yank aggro off you, particularly if you're running around like a mad thing collecting everything in sight and not building aggro on a target I can blow down, but dear gods it's something baby paladins can handle.
   
   
3. Run you lazy sod
   We wiped, I'm not going to throw a tantrum, wiping on the first pull is rarely a good sign but to be frank my repair bill from this run with wipes is less than my repair bill from a heroic with 'wolf. It happens. However, stop relying our the priest to bring you back to life because you can't be bothered running. It's not cool and it slows us down, Priest has to run, priest has to build mana, has to res, has to buff, has to build mana again, all because you can't be bothered to release.
   
   
4. AFK
   Actually thank you, the pulls without you around were much cleaner.
   

yours
The little female gnome DK

DKs are OP

Ok, I've ranted about overpowered DKs are for a while, mostly based on watch them plough through piles of mobs and PvP with barely a break. Over the last few days I've woken Namtar up again, respecced her blood.

Dear gods, it's a whirlwind of death.

I admit that soloing the Drillmaster got a little hairy at one point but that's because I forgot to drop mark of blood on his head at the start. So she's going to be getting the levelling love for a while simply for the joy of playing a plate dps monster (Unferth and Korengelf will also be getting attention so we have ranged dps and healing coming up to 80 as well)

Nexus Heroic (Anomalus)

Not quite our normal mix, Tanque had been booted off to do the sleep thing, so we pulled in a newly minted DK in the guild (blod spec), we managed to get Boss#1 down on the first attempt with the new grouping (Pally tank, Warrior DPS, DK DPS & 2xPally healers). Telestra went down on the second attempt thanks to a bad pull (heroic aggro radius is a sod) but we know how to deal with her. Purple -> Blue -> Red, that's the cycle.

Anomalus... we tried the standard approach, tank keeps him in the centre, dps takes out rifts, tank joins in when he shields. We wipe, simply not enough DPS to take out the rifts quickly enough to keep the adds down to something sensible.Second run, we change tack so that all three melee members attack any rift which comes up, I make sure the boss remains on me with AoE / multi-mob attacks and we spank down the rifts as fast as we can, this also means that the trash is collecting on the tank as they come through and hit the consecration keeping them off the healers.It works. Though it has to be noted that wowwiki states clearly that you must not kite him around in heroic mode. Maybe the author wasn't expecting an all plate team.. :)
