Death Knight Cont… Part 3
Chad February 4th, 2009
Sorry about not posting for the past few days I caught a cold but the good news is it gave me more time to play!
The past few days I’ve made a few new friends on the server. The warrior & I now chat on vent and help each other when needed or run instances together. One of his RL friends just transferred over and so he’s now joining us in the fun.
I’ve been questing and have a blast with the new achievements system, just clearing out zones and getting the achievements. Since our last chat, I’ve cleared out most of Outlands and headed over to Northland. I’ve cleared Borean Tundra & Howling Fjord and gained the achievements for both zones, plus the D.E.H.T.A achievement. I was level 77 by the time I cleared both of the zones and I’ve soloed every quest boss in those zones! That includes bosses with 100k+ HP! I love Death Knights.
During the leveling spree I also got a chance to do both of the new instances “Utgrade Keep” & “The Nexus” with my Warrior & Lock friend. I tanked for both instance even though I’m not tank geared but my HP was more then enough. We did UTG when I was level 74 and I had 15K HP at the time and my self healing is ridiculous with 4K Death Strike heals.
A little later on when I was level 75 we did “The Nexus” and I tanked that also. We picked up 2 guys and they weren’t sure if I could tank. But we told them don’t worry about it and I tanked it like a champ and was sporting 19k HP with all of the buffs. My DPS was running 1100+ in both UTG & Nexus and I was about double everyone else.
Funny thing was after we finished the run my warrior friend needed some splinters from the mobs in Nexus, so I ran in and soloed the trash till we finished off his quest. We laughed when we where getting 3-4k XP per mob. I later run into the instance and did a little soloing myself pulling 8K+ per mob. You could make a killing in XP just doing the trash but they are not easy soloing and I don’t recommend it.
When I hit level 77, I ran straight to Dalaran and got my cold weather flying skill and started to clear Dragonblight. While I was at level 77, I’ve soled the following quest bosses:
High Shaman Bloodpaw (76k HP but has 4 adds, tough guy with the adds)
Grom’thar the Thunderbringer (123k HP)
Alystros the Verdant Keeper (118k HP)
Kreug Oathbreaker (129k HP – Was a little hard. He hits for 4k+ also have to make sure you clear the area. You don’t want any adds on him.)
Onslaught Commander Iustus (82k HP)
High General Abbendis (96k HP)
Now when I was 72 and out in Shadowmoon I did solo the boss: Cyrukh the Firelord (369k HP) but that quest you have a few NPCs that help. So even though it is a Group 5 quest boss, the NPCs tanked him most of the time and helped DPS him down. So any boss that has NPCs that help, I don’t count even though they are still Group Quest bosses. But he has been the hardest fight so far, just because of his DPS when I did pull aggro.
Last night I did hit 78 and now sporting a whole new Savage Saronite Set with enchants and kits. I’m now running with 21K HP and over 23k when I switch to frost presence. So I’m excited to see how many more bosses I can solo with the new gear. I’ll try and keep you all posted on the bosses I down.
