I have been away again, sorry – but it’s the yuletide period and things get pretty hectic around this time of year

So – new patch, new experiences, new things to report.

Lets start with a thank you – big thanks to GirlieGeek who’s comment last week reminded me to pull my finger out (so to speak) and get writing again.

Heroics

So we have 3 brand new 5 man heroics to run now, I’ve run them all now several times and will pass on my opinions of them.

Forge of Souls: Cracking instance, first time thru a couple of mobs are a niggling pain in the backside (with each pack of spellcasters, theres a frustrating spectre type mob that hops around the range members of the party damaging them) which naturally included myself (healing) so thats one to watch out for other than that the trash are mostly “trash” for a healer theres not much to be worried about.

Bronjahm <Godfather of Souls> (first boss):   two phased boss, first phase tank and spank with dps primarily focussing on the boss, Bronjahm will use Corrupt Soul at this point it is “wise” for DPS to switch to attack the “Corrupted Soul Fragment” that is created, this floats back to Bronjahm and heals him. Phase 2, everyone hugs a tank – simply move in close to the tank and nuke him, Bronjahm creates a swirling ring around the party (a Soulstorm) which will cause 2.5k damage when you stand in it (so basically for your healers sake DONT) during this phase one party member will be feared thru the ring, so just need to watch the feared member and throw a heal on them (I usually keep a rejuv on most members during this).

Devourer of Souls:  This is fun, no really fun, I very nearly fell off my chair with laughter the first time against this boss.  Things to note, The ghosts cant be killed, when he summons them either stand and take it or move around them – they dont move all that fast so they can easily be avoided (this is during Unleash Souls) next thing to note – Mirror Soul, whoever is targetted with this will take all the damage you do on the boss (simple eh? well not for a paladin in our group who decided to one hit herself) and the last thing “Wailing Souls” this is a 90 degress sweep of the room random direction and random starting point – quite simple get out of the stream – high damage ticking every 0.4 secs, this is a healers nightmare – as a rule not easy to heal thru (and you’ll probably die). Other than that – pretty much a spank fest.

Thats the forge of Souls covered, tomorrow (or Monday) I’ll cover Pit of Saron.

Catch yer all laters
