Karazhan, Gruul’s Lair, Pre-BC raids and Life Tap

So about two weeks ago, I applied to- and joined a raiding guild. This raiding guild is right where First Legion was when I quit the game about a year ago. So it works out pretty well.

Of course, First Legion is very near killing Illidan now, but meh..

My new guild is named Asylum (and I kinda want to redo their website, it’s very functional.. but it looks terrible. We should at least move the forums to normal forums.), and we’ve cleared Karazhan, downed High King and are pretty close on Gruul, might kill him this weekend, next weekend for sure.

But anyway Karazhan–Back with First Legion, it was like a brand new instance, no one knew all the little secrets to kill the bosses easy and stuff. Back then, Kara was actually pretty hard. Now with Asylum, we just blow threw it all very quickly. Down bosses way different than I remember (and a lot easier too).

Gruul’s Lair–Only did this one like, twice with First Legion, never killed High King back then. Now, first lets just refresh: I’m a warlock, and during the high king fight, warlocks actually have to do something. Olm the Summoner summons Felhunters that rape people. So Warlocks enslave the felhunters and rape Olm with his own pets. With First Legion, we did all this by hand. Now a year later, there’s this leet little macro–just click it, if you don’t have a felhunter already enslaved, it targets one that’s hostile to me (if none exist, it doesn’t do anything), automatically starts enslaving it. Clicking it again with a felhunter enslaved will cause the felhunter to go attack Olm. So it’s pretty nifty.

Naxx, AQ40, BWL, MC–First: Zul’gurub is the worst instance in the game.

But I really enjoyed all those old raids. Nothing like 40 noobs running around killing giant things. Most of all, AQ40–First couple of bosses are annoying, and there’s a bit of trash.. but the Twin Emps and C’thun have got to be the funnest boss fights in WoW. Last week, made a post on the Dunemaul forums asking how many people would actually care to go back to AQ40. Got like 3 replys saying that even C’thun is pretty noob at level 70.. which was fairly disappointing. Meh, oh well, guess I’m never going to get that last 500 rep to be exalted with Brood of Nozdormu.

Life Tap: The other day, I told people I had talked with a GM, and he said I could keep the old version of life tap. I thought this was just because I’m pretty pro.. apparently it’s just because they’ve gone and reverted the changes. So no lame life tap after all. Oh, and the flame tongue mortal strike thing got reverted as well.

So, probably no one cares to read this, it’s kinda a lot to read, but oh well, read it anyway.

I’m going to try to have more pictures in my blogs from now on, just need to start taking more screenshots.  Maybe that will make it more interesting and seem like less to read.
