So tonight, adventures in higher difficulties of Firelands, as the
higher the difficulty, the more shards drop, up to 3x as much between
25h and 10N, so naturally trying 25H was my aim! Well... it would
appear I don't have the dps to solo that mode yet :-P

Alysrazor actually did die first time on 25H despite my panic at
seeing her 24 million health, so long as I keep the flying buff up and
don't end up on the ground it's fine! Beth'tilac might've been
similar, but I fell down and got permastunned, decided I'd be safer on
25N. Rhyolith I ended up with fire dmg debuff stacked waaay too high,
dead, was fine on 25N though. By this time I gave up on 25H and just
did Shannox on 25N, went fine luckily, although Rageface did start to
eat my face, thankfully my dot broke the stun!

As for Baleroc, well, he owned me on 25N, that Decimation Blade thing
he does, over 90% of your healthpool, 3 times in a row, yeah you need
the dps to kill him before he does it, and that I most certainly do
not have (39% and 37% wipes on my two attempts), 10N for that one
then. Big drop in cinders for this one, 20 compared with the 51-56 I
was getting on 25.

Back to 25N for Staghelm (and a lovely long run back to the entrance
to do so), had more trouble with the trash before him tbh, running
around in circles trying to not be in the way of the cat druids'
pounce/stuns lol, got through it though and the boss was fine, just
aoe occasionally to clear out the spawned adds. Ragnaros was ok as
well, a bit tougher than 10 due to the increased healthpool but
nothing seemed too lethal, phew!

Final result: 341 cinders. I need 1000, so if I carry on getting them
at that rate, two more weeks will (just) do it, fingers crossed :-)
