can't wait to hear about crypts - though with a 80 and a 73 it's somewhat cheating ;-)

yeah, well :_X

Thats what I get for not starting 5 boxing off the bat. Crypts tonight if I don't peeveepee on the main! Otherwise, tomorrow, I'd like to get in there before the raid week starts (Main raids wed->fri). I went into Sethikk Halls by accident (cause I'm retarded) and I actually killed the first hall and second room before going "jeez, this looks a lot like SH and nothing like MT). I should have kept going but the mobs were beating on me pretty hard. I'm also gemming with northrend gems where I can. So I definetely have another advantage there.

Auchindoun - Auchenai Crypts

I hate this place. The first boss took 3 tries but I got him. I pretty much moved in and out of range to catch heals when I needed them and that seemed to work well. Died a couple times to trash, I had no real recovery method if my tank or healer got possessed. I ended up making a macro on the tank that tried to target one of the possessors so I could find them quickly and shut them down.
Here is my team:
Nimmen - 80 Resto Druid
Lewlsfear - 65 Shadow Preist
Menage - 73 Elemental Shaman
Nymin - 64 Balance Druid
Fröstlust - 65 Unholy Death Knight

trash wasn't a problem to me - I've had enough burst + pally-stun to kick down the mind-control mobs.

but the first boss was awful. I've quit the instance after 3 wipes cuz this wasn't just wiping in the common way
with a learning effect where you can see you're getting better - that was like the boss turned on the "instagib-mode"

very frustrating ...

Definetely, this was my first *real* test. Everything up to know was a cakewalk in comparison. When I dropped the first boss my 3 DPS were dead since 40% and I essentially had to brute force heal my way through it. The boss would pull the healer to us, and I would drag the boss away and get out of range to get some big heals running and then just dance back and forth.

The second boss was pretty LOL. I only got 2 shadow spawns and when he split I already had him to 5% so I ended up dropping him before the 2 shadows and the split version.
