Wotlk - ICC - Halls of Reflection (HoR)
I finally got back on the PTR and ran all of the new 5 mans on normal just to see how they play. I also tested out the new Dungeon Finder tool. I have seen two posts from Niley on the Forge of Souls (FoS) and Pit of Saron (PoS) but not on Halls of Reflection (HoR). The quest chain lore is a nice touch.
It's another rather quick run through this one, first fight is a 2 boss multi wave affair. You have to kill several waves of mobs before the first boss comes in. Most (if not all) of the mobs are undead so Pally tanks will shine here. Hints, position your team back in the entrance hall to concentrate the waves. Mages are a bit of a pain so you might have to move out to get them. Both bosses have debuffs so watch the dispels and a shadow resist should mitigate some damage. You get a small rest than more waves and the second boss.
After finishing this 2 boss fight, you run down a hall with a single guard who summons shades of your group. Nothing to hard here just odd he isn't more difficult.
At the end of the hall you start a gauntlet style escape. On normal it's really not too bad, loads of undead so again the pally tank helps out. I was unable to finish the instance on multiple attempts due to a disconnect bug running up the last ramp, I just hope they fixed it for live servers.
Oh on a side note, I checked out the first part of the QuelD chain. Guess I am going to be farming the Battered Hilt (Heroic 5 man trash drop). PoS seems to have the most trash, but I think the drop rate will be quite low. Mace reward is http://db.mmo-champion.com/i/50051/hammer-of-purified-flame/
