Dungeons & Raids

Blackhand’s Crucible

This “raid” is simple.  What’s frustrating is that you can wait up to 30 minutes to get into the raid and there is only one boss, Blackhand, himself.

The mechanics are simple, as a DPS.  Just keep moving, avoid the fire on the ground and the circles of pain he throws out throughout the fight.  He does a push back, which as long as your not near an edge, shouldn’t be an issue.  Overall, the fight is simple and relatively quick.

Finally, with this being the final boss fight in the Blackrock Foundry raid, I was really expecting more.  For a single boss raid, there should’ve been more to it, more fight, or something.  The only cool part was dropping through the floor twice during each phase of the fight.

Again, not impressed with this raid.

More Raaaaiiidddiiinnngggg and a Timewalk!

So, I was doing some more raiding and am really not that thrilled with the them.  As I mentioned in my last post, I found the Highmaul raid to be very easy.  I was surprised with how simple they were.  Then today I did the Blackrock Foundry raid.  Again, I found the raid to be easy and fast.

My main complaint however is that the two raids are just boring.  Tomorrow and Sunday I plan on starting the Hellfire raid an I hope they are better, more engaging and just plain fun and exciting.  I really hope they aren’t boring!

I did Mana Tombs in Timewalking mode.  It was the first time I’ve done it and I really liked it.  I missed those old dungeons!  They were fun to do, and just like I remember doing them so long ago.  I hope they enable it for all the old content.

Have a great weekend!

Raiding!

I finally had some time to do some raiding, since it’s kind of required for the ring quest.

After finishing the Highmaul raids, I have to say, YAWN!  Not very exciting raids, and while they are quick to complete, they really weren’t that interesting or engaging.  Same old mechanics, same old raids where everyone pounds on the boss.

Not challenging at all.

I’ll post more about the next set once I finish them. Hopefully they’ll be more engaging.
