Party: Chepi (heals,dps), Jazred (dps), Himalountain (tank, aoedps)
Levels: 63-64
Status: Blood Furnace full clear
Between this last week and our normal Saturday get-together we cleared Slave Pens
and Underbog except for The Black Stalker.
The final boss of Underbog had some horrible reset issues, resetting as
soon as it had me (tank) in its beam. We'll figure that one out and
give him another go.
We eventually gave up on The Black Stalker. He's just tuned too precisely for 5 people, and at appropriate level we're doubting that 3 could pull it off. The core mechanical problem is that he has a strong tendency to yank your healer up in the air and out of range from either your tank or dpser. In the end, we brought in a level 70 hunter to replace the tank (me) and the pet tanked while the other two healed and dpsed. This was surprisingly effective, actually, and he went down quickly. So this is the first boss since Princess where we gave up on the first try and so far the only boss that we didn't down on our own. Here's hoping it stays that way!
