Hah, as a ranged without freezing/slowing abilities I'm used to
dealing with those ;-) Can manage most things, can't manage those
firey elites by Ordos where one wrong step gets you killed... oh well,
at least I can handle the easier elites, really hate those flippin
frogs though, my dps is too low to kill them fast enough so I have to
try to stop them hitting me too much to stack up the insta-kill
poison. Void Tendrils are good, when they don't miss, when they do,
it's "oh crap" time :-P

Haha yeah, I get some from mining ghost iron ore or corpses of giants
:-) I got my elite kills in the cave full of spirits, figured it was a
good place to spend an hour or so, as the regular spirits drop a pet
and there's a rare which spawns there who also drops a pet. Of course,
I was there about an hour and the rare spawned (and died) in the 2
mins window where I lagged out really badly and had to restart the
game :-P 

I did however find a nice thing; the crystals in the cave usually give
coins when you loot them, but after looting a whole bunch while
waiting for respawns I got a Crystal of Insanity
http://www.wowhead.com/item=86569 !! I've never even seen Sulik'shor
alive on my server, sohad given up hope on ever getting that one; it's
doubly useful for me because unlike Mark of the Wild and similar
buffs, this one increases spirit, so a reusable spirit/int flask,
effectively! Delighted :-)

I eventually finished mine last night, took a while but it's certainly
better at the end of the week than the start. Still camped but not
*quite* so badly!

Hehe shows how messed up it was that you thought that was Garrosh; it
was Nazgrim ;-) (I forget what faction you are though, if you're
alliance it's an easy mistake to make, orcs all look the same to you I
guess ;-) Horde have quested with the guy enough to know him better
though, I'd imagine!) Someone on wowhead posted a link to a youtube
video with approximate dialogue added, as it did have it on the PTR -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFPoCPfBBmI makes a whole lot more
sense... :-P That little scene makes me feel all the more bad that we
have to kill Nazgrim tbh, he's not really a bad guy...

Rofl :-D Impressed you did that much though, I decided that since I
was in solo (formed a raid with an alt to get in), I'd just mind
visiion around a bit and then leave ;-)
