Well, Blood Furnace
turns out to be a dungeon I'd avoided somehow, so it was all new to me.
What struck me most was how gimicky the trash was. When you compare it
to the old world, almost all old world 5-man dungeons had a mix of
groups that you pulled, fought and killed and those groups that had a
gimmick of some sort that made you have to switch up tactics, take out
certain guys first or use your tanks in odd ways. Blood Furnace (and Ramparts)
had almost nothing but gimmick groups. There's trash that stuns,
silences, drops bombs ala Gnomeregan, knocks back, knocks down, charges
and lots of stuff I imagine I'm forgetting. Broggok
was probably the toughest boss fight, and he went down on our first try
without even a glimmer of doubt about the outcome, but we wiped 2-3
times on trash.
Note to Blizzard: Yes, we're just three people, but please let's consider for Wrath that some trash should be easier than the bosses ;-)
On the bright side, I'd say the bosses are fun and interesting
and it's a blast to look down through the bottom of the instance and
see Magtheridon!
Next up is Underbog. I know that dungeon well, and other than some hairy pulls, it's a good one that I do look forward to doing.
