Oculas + HoR = quit playing for the day

[Catamer]

F-ing random dungeon finder gives me HoR or Oculas... neither of which I can/care to do.
once it's given me them back to back I usually quit playing for the day and go do something else like watch TV.

lol.


Whenever I get PoS, Occ, or HoR I just /afk for 15 minutes, or harass guildies, or harass the cat / wife. Then try my luck again.

I haven't even finished Occ on normal. I just pick another heroic manually and go finish that, a nice easy run like Strat or UK or HoL and then random again.

I got Occulas yesterday. Just zoned out and took a 15 minute break.

I can deal with everthing else. You know the newer dungeons (FoS/PoS/HoR) have a "gear check" requirement to queue up in the random dungeon finder right? So Blizzard thinks your team should be able to complete it.

(I see PoS being an exception to this, because the Forgemaster boss is a complete cock-block)

occolus isnt that hard anymore.. i just addet the makros from the "heroic tactics comp."thread to some keybinds i never use and wrote a "oco endboss" hotkeynet config that "translates" it to 1-5-> its a pretty quick hc run now after all the "fixes" done with 3.3 ...

another possibiltiy is => do another hc in the time (u can still enter a specific hc while the 15m cd is active) .. AND if u get occo .. go and kill the 1st & 2nd boss .. easy in 15min => u get a id => it should be a lower chance to get it again. well not very practicable for HoR :<

i usually go to dalaran and clear my inventorys and stuff while waiting.

I consider the 15 min breaks (occ + 3.3 heroics) as a mandatory intermission. Its like when you see that in game loading tip "Take all things in moderation, even world of warcraft." Its pretty much fate telling me I need to take a shower.

When I get occulus I usually just zerg through and kill the first boss then afk the last 5-10 mins till I can get a new dungeon. That lowers the odds of getting oculus again as you are already saved there. I can also down the first HoR boss but I dont usually bother as I dont need anything from him now. I will kill those last 2 HoR bosses at some time over Christmas though just to say ive done it.

Occulus isn't as much a point of being hard as much as just plain sucking. It's slow, a hassle and if you really want to do it as painlessly as possible you need special macros. It just sucketh.

I have a personal vendetta against HoR. I've completed it once, in a grueling 2.5 hour match with guildies where we actually had to summon up the scrapbot to repair at one point...

Of course the OH sword didn't drop on the final encounter.

Since then I've tried it about a dozen times in a PUG, and never even MADE IT to the first boss. Sometimes it's because I'm stuck with an undergeared short-bus group (it considers ppl with gearscore 4000 sufficient for that place? C'mon!), and sometimes because I'm with a well-geared short-bus group.

It seems I'm doomed to be the only 4800 GS rogue with an iLvl 187 offhand...just can't get myself a decent offhander to go with my new sword spec since getting Quel'Delar! :P

PoS, HoS, Oculus and HoR are the instances that I cannot do sadly, but HoR is the only instance that I wont even attempt.

At the very least when I get those other instances i'll clear the first few bosses so that at the very least i'll get a badge or two from the instances.

PoS i'll just clear all of the trash for a chance for the hilt but aside from that I wont attempt the bosses until I think I am ready.
