I did forget to mention that I also had solo’d Black Temple last week, but I was so caught up with trying to learn the “why” of WoD that I never posted.
So, I solo’d the Throne of the Tides of the Battle of Mount Hyjal yesterday. I also got Golden Lotus and The Anglers at Exalted status, and have four individual Tillers to go ’till my farm is ‘maxed out’.
So, ToT. I thought was going to be hard, but it was actually too easy. Well, except for the 3rd boss (the Shaman with the squid on his head that makes him hostile).
Everytime I got the boss down to 45%, the squid will pop off and chase after me, then take control of me. When it does this, the battle resets about 10 or so seconds later (as there’s no one other to get this damn thing off my head).
So I had to Feign Death and wait for my pet to kill the squid. By doing this, kept the squid from taking over my mind. The plan actually worked.
Doing the Battle of Mount Hyjal, I considered that “practice” for when WoD arrives of the waves of mobs attacking. Pretend the Burning Legion are the Iron Horde.
Boss 1 kicked my ass with his Death and Decay, freezing and stunning attacks. Fortunately I was able to outsmart him by simply avoiding them. The rest of the battle went on OK, with every boss deciding to attack me instead of my pet. 😛
The final boss, I had a lot of controversy if he would kick my ass or not because of his Finger of Death and his ability to throw you in the air. The first time I engaged, I tried to get under one of the far branches and have my pet pull him over to me so I could attack. As soon as I started, he disappeared… and never reappeared.
I waited three minutes for him to reset and I thought it was bugged and would have to reset. So I mounted up and was preparing to leave when I noticed everyone else had disappeared.
Then I happen to turn around and saw the boss had reappeared. Thank goodness for that. Didn’t pull him back as far. He again like the other bosses was attacking me instead of my pet. But at least by doing this he wasn’t Finger of Deathing me. And just as I read in Wowhead, he spammed Finger of Death even though my pet was attacking him. Thankfully I had this protective bubble over me that kept me immune to his attack, just enough for him to die by the… hands? of wisps.
