Great start to this night. First random dungeon is Oculus. Kill the first boss, zone out, wait for the debuff to go away.

Next random dungeon - Halls of Lightning. Kill the first two bosses while almost comatose from boredom. Then I wipe on Ionar 3 times and zone out.

Next random dungeon - Halls of Lightning....again.

Haha!

I always always get ToC or HoS on my first dungeon. /flipsthebird at dungeon finder.

It gets better. I noticed the debuff finally wore off so I queued up again. It errored out and said "You can't do that right now" and now I have another 15 minute debuff.

Yay.

if that happens just right click on the eye by the map and click "teleport to dungeon"

Ok this is crazy, it just chose HoL again. Do I have to disband my group for it to select a different dungeon? Or am I just that unlucky?

I noticed that if I only complete a dungeon half way and queue up again, i'll get that dungeon again.

What problems are you having with Ionar? He was just nerfed.....

Yep, had to disband, that's why I got HoL again twice. This time it chose HoS. Phew!

Once a character left the group a message popped up on one of my characters and asked if I wanted to leave the dungeon group.

I'm running a 5 paladin team, and can't figure out what to do in the fight. I've tried zerging him. I've tried spreading out. I even dual spec'd one paladin Holy and tried to 2 man it, but she wound up running out of mana when he was at like 80%.

Best I can do is get him to disperse. By then at least 1 paladin has died, and I've already blown divine shield.

Bunch up, and when he disperses, either run past where he is before the fight and just outrun the adds, or run down the stairs and out of the room.

Practice it on regular, it's not that bad. The trash pulls after him are harder.

Heh, this is on regular (haven't dinged 80 yet). Maybe once I get that sacred shield skill it will help with the fight? I usually run down the stairs and heal up after he disperses, but since I am out of cooldowns it ends rather fast.

When he disperses, do a 5x bubble /dance party!

He will only disperse once per fight. You'll need a healer to deal with the bomb I'd think? Maybe divine storm is enough? I dunno.

Meh, dungeon finder is awesome for me. But i can easily clear every instance short of HoR on my shamans, and HoR and FoS on my druids. Then again i'm a 4 boxer and have less to deal with than 5 boxers.

I get ToC, Occulus, and Halls of something a lot of the time. I have to skip ToC now, because I somehow became retarded and can no longer get past jousting, using the same strategy that worked 100 times before. I'm sure the bosses would be a joke now (I used to do it in deadly/hateful gear), but oh well.

I'm still not sure why I sometimes get dungeons I just completed, and they're empty. Shouldn't it either skip that one, or give me a fresh instance without lockout?

That's a known bug unfortunately. They're aware of it, but it seems it only happens when you join as a group, so I doubt it has high priority :|

Oculas and HoR seem to be high on my list of most hated and the "random" generator seems to find them all the time. HoL has never been a problem for my pally/shaman team and one of my favorites to get if I have to get one. I just heal through Ionar, make a box formation of the shaman and stop all DPS during the spiders and stand still, switch to my healer screen and heal anyone who needs it. I rarely need to ask my alts to heal themselves.

Well I finally dinged 80 last night. 79 went by incredibly fast, I think I did maybe 3 or 4 quests during 79 and the rest was instances.

Funny thing is, all my characters dinged 80 in a winning AV where I was tanking Drek. By then I was pretty intoxicated. I then decided to try a heroic right away in my alcohol induced state. Somehow I downed the first boss in Utgarde Keep.

Just when the Paladins piss you off to no end with a boss like Ionar, they bring a smile to your face as you make a path of destruction through your first heroic with no wipes.....

Although maybe the alcohol made me play more aggressive, perhaps I should have about 5-6 beers and try Ionar again.

Do you think what dungeon you get first is based on the leader? My DK tank always gets HoS, the two spider instances and ToC. It's starting to piss me off. I cant finish the first instance and the next two are tossups. ToC just aint worth the time. I really hate this "random" dungeon finder. I'm going to try making one of the slaves leader and see if my luck changes.

Yes OK is the suck. Too much trash and the last boss can be either super easy or super hard based on your group comp.

There's your problem bro, don't worry too much about not beating this instance yet :P
