The lowered rep requirement and the addition of daily heroic quests made me try my first heroics yesterday. <BR/><BR/>Delos went to heroic Ramparts (had saved the quest from the previous day). We wiped about 5 times, but ended up clearing it, so I got my 3 badges (plus 2 from the quest). All I have to say about that is thank god I have 11.8K armor as a caster. When the mage pulled aggro, it was GG. I can at least take 4-5 hits which gives the tank some time. <BR/><BR/>Grats on the heroics! Pally tanks are perfect for them from what I've seen!Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17837475356035680674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7079318024484275606.post-45850035724143135512007-11-14T17:56:00.000-05:002007-11-14T17:56:00.000-05:00I'm a firm believer (aka stubborn) that I should t...I'm a firm believer (aka stubborn) that I should treat Heroics like Drugs...

Yeah some the trash seem to hit way harder than the boss in some case. <BR/><BR/>I know in Heroic Mechanor at Boss Capacitus one time i looked at my combat log to see why we wiped. I remember getting hit for 3k then right after that for almost 7K inbetween heals..ouch.<BR/><BR/>*The interesting thing in patch 2.3 with people doing Heroics at jush Honored level and undergeared is lots of groups is going to get killed if they undergeared. And that's very very likely to happen.Ardent Defenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13162904795741307697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7079318024484275606.post-51761432012300473962007-11-13T16:48:00.000-05:002007-11-13T16:48:00.000-05:00Thanks Wulfie for the tip.Will try that next time ...Thanks Wulfie for the tip.<BR/><BR/>Will try that next time in Mech when we have a good DPS group. Slave Pens is fun and think i'll be running it more easily as well as Mech but leaving the fire boss alone for the most part.Ardent Defenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13162904795741307697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7079318024484275606.post-50979915906093237172007-11-13T16:45:00.000-05:002007-11-13T16:45:00.000-05:00I've done a lot of heroic healing, and even on pal...I've done a lot of heroic healing, and even on paladin tanks who hadn't reached uncrushability yet...and wow, I had to through mana conservation to the wind and just get those heals going, spamming them, or the tank would die.<BR/><BR/>It really generally seems like in many heroics, the trash mobs give you more trouble than the bosses. Not always the case, but I can relate, as you find some trash mobs hitting as hard as Kara bosses.<BR/><BR/>I haven't done a lot of tanking them myself, just once or twice on my warrior, which I wasn't quite geared for.<BR/><BR/>I would recommend heroic underbog to the list of fairly easy heroics, though the double bog lord pull just before the first boss is always a bit messy.Zereihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03211133946416640355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7079318024484275606.post-89198851790369228592007-11-13T11:32:00.000-05:002007-11-13T11:32:00.000-05:00Slave Pens and Mech are two of the easier ones to ...Slave Pens and Mech are two of the easier ones to do in my experience, and they make a good place to start your heroic training. If you want my advice, stay out of Heroic Sethekk Halls, Auchenai Crypts and Mana Tombs unless you have amazing CC. I find all three to be poor in the rewards/returns department. <BR/><BR/>The fire lady in Mech's annoying unless you have a lot of good ranged DPS (and preferrably Warlocks/Moonkins/Shadow Priests with DoTs-a-plenty). Just kite and dot when you're being chased and nuke when you're not. And remember to move if an elemental stands beside you. We kill her fairly easily now, but it wasn't always the case. <BR/><BR/>Slave Pens is also good and fast, three badges in under an hour once you know the pulls. I have to say though, you're braver than I am if you're taking on the packs after the second boss with no CC. <BR/><BR/>Once you've got an insane block set together, it'll be time to wow folks with sub-1hour Heroic Shattered Halls runs.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16069725904484579028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7079318024484275606.post-63167793191733122182007-11-13T06:11:00.000-05:002007-11-13T06:11:00.000-05:00Mech is a pain.

I've done umpteen runs there just killing the 2 mini bosses and the 1st big robot dude.<BR/><BR/>Our tankadin doesnt have any problem with the mobs in there due to the amount of raiding gear he has (t4, and kara epics)<BR/><BR/>But yes you're right, if you get aggro from any of the patrolling robot dudes Ouch! even in plate they can 1/2 shot me!! God bless Stun!!<BR/><BR/>Annoyingly Blizz have nerfed the Mech 3 badge runs, but they've added so many more ways to get badges (kara and daily instance quests) So its not all that bad!Alex - aka Firelighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03521624147661620610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7079318024484275606.post-48149358350606750412007-11-12T16:33:00.000-05:002007-11-12T16:33:00.000-05:00Thats awesome!Im looking forward to getting my tan...Thats awesome!<BR/>Im looking forward to getting my tankadin up to 70 and trying some of this stuff :)<BR/><BR/>Keep up the posts i love reading this stuff!<BR/><BR/>http://sealofrogueshness.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7079318024484275606.post-43705125075247885902007-11-12T14:38:00.000-05:002007-11-12T14:38:00.000-05:00Thanks for the Tip though all the tips you mention...Thanks for the Tip though all the tips you mentioned are great tips and saved a lot of time we did use all those tips on the run. They saved a lot of time indeed.<BR/><BR/>As for the Naga if it weren't already sheeped, or on sap since we had a rogue in Slave Pens i tanked them all in AoE. Helps to have a good healer.<BR/><BR/>Im Mech we didnt have any real CC with exception on the demons up to Capacitus.Ardent Defenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13162904795741307697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7079318024484275606.post-81828775421483838872007-11-12T14:29:00.000-05:002007-11-12T14:29:00.000-05:00Nice work!

I have done both of these heroics on my rogue - try having them hit you on leather!<BR/><BR/>Generally on mech we skip the fourth boss (the lady) as she can just be too much of a nightmare for a badge.<BR/><BR/>On Slavepens theres a few neat tricks. There is one spot in the room full of trapped slaves (the large open cavern before first boss) where if you time the pat's correctly you can run around all of the mobs and get directly to the right of the tunnel entrance. This saves a lot of pain, and you just need to kill the two defenders guarding the tunnel entrance. (p.s. due to them being immune to CC, its helpful to have a rogue pop his stuns on the main kill target to slow it down - they do hit damn hard)<BR/><BR/>Also when heading for Rockmar there is a small bridge (before the big drop into the pool) that has a small platform below it. You can jump off carefully onto the platform then jump for a ledge against the wall(err i should take some screenshots for you). This means you can get to the outside of the tunnel just before rockmar and skip several pulls (basically that whole room where you jump down into the pool).<BR/><BR/>If you want i can take some screenies next time im in their and show ya.<BR/><BR/>What was it like to pallytank? We're you able to tank multiple mobs? Or was CC definetely needed?<BR/><BR/>p.s. i made a post on my blog telling people they should read your blog.<BR/>Why?<BR/>Because they should! Great work i love your blog :p<BR/><BR/>http://sealofrogueshness.blogspot.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
