So, 6 days to go, and as with every expansion, I'm asking myself the usual question: why did I get bored and barely play for months, yet now it's nearly over, I can think of tons of things I've not finished and I'm now in a huge rush to do them all (and won't succeed in time)? Every single time I do this! In fairness, not all were actually possible before the patch, but a fair number were... so now I'm working on: Val'anyr Dragonwrath Shadowmourne (fair enough, none of those three were soloable before, at least not for me) Thunderfury (I've only been able to solo this since Wrath...) Onyxia mount Malygos mount ZG mounts Hawkstrider in Magister's Terrace Attumen's mount Rep for recipes on my tailor/enchanter (like, getting her to 90 before last week might've helped there) Various toys/mounts to craft on my engineer Going to Need a Bigger Bag (cmon, 500 kills and Jademist Dancer STILL hasn't dropped..) Know Your Role (only discovered the trick to cheese this a week ago... ofc the last daily I need hasn't popped since then) UBRS (been kinda scared off by the stories of it being a wipefest...) Glorious! (couldn't solo some of the rares prepatch, can't find them alive now) Could've done most of those ages ago, sigh! The legendary ones are kinda fun, tough even now tbh, I can't actually solo all Ulduar 25 yet (we usually duo it fine), very slowly did most of it the other night, ran out of mana on Vezax though - fortunately I had a warrior alt on follow who didn't have the mana problem! And can't solo Yogg-Saron at all, just not got the dps... at least not with only one keeper up, maybe next time I'll try with all of them and stop being ambitious! Firelands is one I'm very glad the quest works on 10N, we struggled bigtime the time we tried 10H, and much as I want the heroic tier set for my warrior, that's waiting for lvl 100 I think, once was quite enough! Not entirely sure I could solo it even on normal, my dps is pretty weak now. Shadowmourne is potentially the least painful but I'm at the quest which involves Blood Queen and biting three people.. now, considering me and my bf have 3 accounts between us, this involves much care with combat resses (and cursing when we discovered shaman ankh and DK battleres now share a 30 min cd - no safety net for us then!), and after several failures to untimely deaths/mindcontrols (only one of us has DBM) we gave up... however we were being adventurous and trying heroic mode, next week (erm, well, if we don't do it on Wednesday it'll be "next month" instead :-P) we'll try on normal and see if we can survive it! Heroic Lich King (25) is owning us at present, that shadow trap thing that chucks you off the platform, argh, we're improving slightly, but got sick of it, might go back tomorrow and have another shot, having got that far we want to finish it, but ouch, tough when you're not used to it. There's a lot of extra mechanics on heroic in general which are a pain, Lady Deathwhisper was a nightmare too, MCd us and despawned several times till we gave up and sent 2 characters back to the entrace while the 3rd soloed it... and omg it's PAINFUL trying to solo her when you can't cleanse that 15 second cd on every ability curse. Should've made my bf do it on his shaman, at least he can remove curses, even if my priest had way higher ilvl (which was why I did it)!
