HOL normal...wow, it's easy...

[Gadzooks]

Rolled the joint. My guys are finally all doing 2k+ reliably, tank's dps is up significantly, my healing is fine tuned, I'm remembering to keep Divine Plea up, and I've added some awesome macros from several threads for various utility.

Easiest first time run, ever, even blew threw Ionar with only one dispersion, which he did at 33%, which I avoided easily. Lots of blue drops - I got two of the same blue mail boots, even. No tanking trinket, so I'll be farming for that. Loken was a pushover. Only one death, from the Hall of the Watchers, because I forgot how it worked, and lost aggro for a bit.

Seriously, easiest fights of all of the instances, on normal. Tomorrow, I try Heroic. I'll probably get rolled, but what the heck - I could farm this place on normal forever for relics and rep!

I don't know why, but I've been avoiding the place, concentrating on other instances. /facepalm

Ionar was changed to only do 1 Disperse. He used to be a bitch, now he is a kitten.

That explains it. I should be able to handle him in Heroic - will try tonight!

[Svpernova09]

yeah it's not much harder at all in heroic., I'd go so far as to say the trash between Ionar and loken is the hardest part of the instance.

UK and HoL were my first two heroic clears. I struggled with Ionar on normal and didn't try the old Ionar on heroic, was already changed by the time I moved into heroics. Was surprisingly easy.

Loken is a bit tougher on heroic. An AoE healer can make it trivial as long as everyone has enough health to survive a Nova and get topped off before a Nova and as long as your healer's mana can go the distance. I got the <2m kill achievement on my first Loken kill, he really does go down quick if you just focus dps and heal through the Nova.

HoL was the first instance I cleared or was is CoS? Either way it is super easy Ionar is a breeze just spread everyone out and do not move at all even when he/she breaks off into little torrents. Just stand too and heal through it.

Try Ionar with a melee group, it's a nightmare

[Gadzooks]

I don't know why I had it in my head that HoL was harder than the others. Go figure.

Off to try tonight!

Try Ionar with a melee group, it's a nightmare

Well, it was a nightmare

[Multibocks]

Eh I still wipe with only one disperse. Now he throws more of those lightning balls that F*ck your guys up something fierce. Im not sure its that much easier. It still requires a crap ton of defensive cooldowns.

edit: this is with melee group. Caster group this guy is cake now.
