Warcraft Experience

How many members will “drop” after we start having repair costs again… Suprisingly we only had a few not show for our first attempt at BWL on Monday. Which is good because you come to depend on your partners-in-crime and feel like there is something missing when they aren’t there.

So what did I learn? I learned the strategy made no bloody-sense to me until we did it at least 3 times. I don’t care how many times they told me what do to (and believe you me there were about 20 voices reiterating the same thing in vent, which I think was part of my confusion).

What we did?
Assign groups to all four corners and our only job is to kill the mages as fast as we can as they come out. Each of the raid mages/druids should sheep/sleep an Orc Legionnaire as they are kited around the room by warriors. There are plently of LOS problems for most of the healers and really don’t expect to be healed. I generally made as one of the last standing but couldn’t defend myself once the warriors went down and the Legionnaires all come after you.

Rezzing? No way. It’s a short jaunt really, but it does get tiresome after awhile. Once you are back in the instance, do everyone a favor, and stand at the top of the stairs for buffing and to make sure you don’t get closed behind the gate and out of the playfield.

Mats to Bring: Plenty of mana and health potions, bandages and anything that helps you DPS the Orc Mages down quicker, some fire gear (since the Orc Mages use it). A second set of gear isn’t a bad idea either simply because you will die A LOT. And of course some repair bots. It has also been bandied about that the kiting warriors should wear [item]Green Whelp Armor[/item].

We really did very well for our first try in Razorgore land. On each attempt we wound up with 3-6 eggs that still needed to be popped by the time we wiped, but we improved with each try and popped all the eggs on our last run. Unfortunately 99% of us were dead by then so it didn’t do us any good.

Our raid schedule has changed again and we will be in there tonite after Onyxia so hopefully we will continue to improve and kick some butt. Now that we understand our job duties and what to concetrate on I forsee a good time with less whiping. I hope.
