I’ve been struggling to get geared, doing the HoT Heroics. So far I got nearly every piece Mr.Robot suggests I get, except for two stubborn ones; Shoulders from HoT and a Ring from WoE.
I feel like I did these two dungeons 50+ times, and I haven’t had any luck.
So yesterday I got fed up and decided to enchant what I got as bulk. The fact I had little money is why I chose to do it this way.
So I got everything I needed. Got them gemmed and reforged as well. And decided to do a ZG run. I haven’t done a 85 ZG run since I was item level 354, and I was kicked out for no reason for failing to kill the boss that has the cauldrons.
This time was no different, but the group was more patient with me. After the third time, we FINALLY got him down. And I was able to finally complete the once was a raid dungeon, later on.
After that I did ZA. I’ve never done this one before, yet again the group was thankfully patient. 4 of 5 of them, this was also their first time there. And we got that completed too. And I got a free 24 slot bag!
I’m going to put it into my bank as a slot. I can use the extra space.
Later that day, Terlarer was telling me I should do the Dragon Soul raid. He even gave me this flask that boosts Agility for a while. But, you know me. I’m nervous when it comes to trying new things.
That was until I decided to go on Youtube and look around, and found this series of videos of the two raids that make up the Dragon Soul raid. Both were in four parts.
What they showed is this guy as a female NE Rogue (go figure), queuing up for the raid. Said he never did it before, and he’s not a raider. Both are the same as me.
I watched both sets of videos. All four parts. And he was able to complete both raids and emerge victorious (though he never showed a sense of justice of finally defeating the source of Azeroth’s near-destruction. I would, though). So, if he can do it… surely I can do it, right?
And I plan to, this Tuesday. I just have to dedicate about an hour to it, maybe more if wipes occur. He got lucky when he got in those raids, especially outside of a guild raid. I don’t think my luck will be the same.
As for the gameplay, well, there’s certain parts were there is “go here, QUICKLY!! Kill this guy before he heals the other guy!!” action.
But what’s probably the best thing; the raid was caring more about defeating mobs and bosses than the gear people wear. So maybe I’ll do alright. As long as I stay focused and try not to screw up, I should.
I can’t wait to see the look on Deathwing’s face, when a soloer for LIFE, makes the final blow on him. And stand there on the edge of the Maelstrom as victory music plays, knowing justice has been made on this day. And justice feels realllllly good from what I saw after coming back to WoW before Cata’s release.
I swore I would get revenge on Deathwing, and now’s my chance.
