Party: Chepi (heals,dps), Jazred (dps), Himalountain (tank, aoedps)
Levels: 60
Status: Cleared Dire Maul west up to Prince and north up to Kromcrush
Milestones: Immol'thar down
In our second week of Dire Maul
we cleared the west wing and almost all of the north wing. This was an
interesting wall for us, since we just could not take down either Prince Tortheldrin or Captain Kromcrush.
In the former case, it was entirely a matter of an agro-wipe. We tried
to swap between our Paladin and Druid as tanks, but he agro-wipes so often
that we just couldn't keep him off the healer, and taunt cooldowns were
burned almost immediately. Kromcrush we probably could have beat, but
it was a good 5 hours into our run (clearing is slower with 3), and we
just didn't have the energy to give him a third try. He summons two
adds and begins Retaliating, so you have to stop dpsing him and gain
control over the adds. It's tricky, and someone was cleaving a lot, but
it's certainly a paladin-friendly fight, so we should have gotten
through it. Next time. We'll probably go back and do the tribute run at
some point, but we might kill him just out of spite ;-)
As for the good stuff, we downed every other boss except for the two that are past Kromcrush. Illyanna Ravenoak
& Ferra surprised us, and we wiped, but when we came back, they
were fairly easy. Everything else went down on the first try, I think.
The arcane elementals are a pain in the butt, but easily doable. We had
the Druid pull them and the pally tank. Immol'thar didn't even get off
a knock-back or a teleport before we spanked him down. Loot was, as
usual for the 60s instances, OK but not great. We're getting more gear
from the auction house and the occasional foray into Outlands questing
these days than we are from dungeons.
