Stymied at Admiral Ripsnarl

We got ourselves together and ready to go on Sunday afternoon, but the question was what should we do.  I will say, straight up, that Cataclysm is wearing on me a bit.  I mean, maybe I have broadcast that some already, but let me confirm it here. The expansion doesn’t have a hold on me and I am not feeling the need to grind out all the heroics just to say we’ve done it… because who cares really? …

Testing the Waters in Heroic Deadmines

We had a bit of an unplanned excursion the other day.  First there were two of us on, then three of us… at which point we decided we should do something, setting our eyes on perhaps a bit of transmog hunting. Karazhan seemed like an option, being both near to Stormwind and probably easy enough for us.  I wasn’t sure if we would be able to take on Wrath raids yet. The dramatic death of Grandma in…

Testing Defense Protocol Beta in Gundrak

I do want to say up front that our group has been pretty happy that we’re been able to take on heroic instances with our four person/five character party.  Having the healer run a DPS character as well is hardly optimal and makes Potshot easily the hardest working player on any of our runs. Back in original Wrath of the Lich King, when we had a full group of five and we were entering middle-age,…

A Pass Through Heroic Drak'Tharon Keep

The instance group carries on in Wrath Classic, amusing ourselves with various side tasks and a weekly heroic instance.  We are working our way up the difficulty list we saw online, which put Drak’Tharon Keep next on our objectives. We had been there before, both as a full group and playing around as a four player attempt on an off week.  It is out on Zul’Drak, on the boarder with Grizzly Hills,…

A Warm Up and the Back to Heroic Gundrak

Beanpole had returned from a couple of weeks in Europe so we were all able to get back together in Wrath Classic once more to test ourselves against various heroic instances. After a bit of time spent hearing about where he stayed and the occasional foibles of foreign travel and the harsh reality of the return to work, we eventually wound down to the point of what we were actually going to do in…

Rejected in Heroic Gundrak

We are in the summer months so travel, family, and vacations are starting to get in the way of the weekly group.  But last weekend three of us were still able to muster four characters and, having successfully managed Utgarde Keep previously with a short group we thought we might try another heroic instance. Onward to the future or something like it Violet Hold, in Dalaran, was listed as the…

Return to The Nexus Heroic

Our previous attempt at the heroic version of The Nexus was a near run thing.  We made it through the first four bosses, but the final boss, Keristrasza, we couldn’t quite get there. So our plan was to go do a bit of remedial gear work in order to make sure we were bringing enough power to the party.  We spent some time going through the various faction vendors in Northrend… and there are quite a…
