Blackfathom Deeps
Level 28
Blackfathom Deeps was the first instance I ever completed. I thought, “wow this is cool”, running around killing things with other people. This was before I knew anything about mechanics and class abilities. Needless to say I didn’t get the achievement the first try; the group dissolved after a wipe on the last boss. In fact the first try I struggled to make it past the broken bridge where you have to jump across the sections to get to the other side. Bree’s first attempt was more successful in that it was completed (and I actually made the jumps first attempt /woot) but I can’t say that it was as completely satisfying as the previous tanking endeavours. I had my first death. /cry Well not my own but the healer died twice from mobs that I didn’t see coming. (either did the healer or anyone else for that matter) The healer promptly “disconnected” as was soon kicked from the group. The second healer, however, did not die once.
The second issue was trying to hold aggro. If I kept losing aggro to the feral druid 2 levels higher than me, how am I going to manage with a fire mage all dressed in purples?
Stormwind Stockade
Level 29
The Stocks, however, was another story. It was clean and enjoyable. The reason why this was most enjoyable was that not only do you get to kill Hogger at the end, but I also gained Warbringer in my talent tree, which allows you to use Charge in any stance. The Stocks is a neat instance to Charge into a mob, Battle Shout to generate rage and Thunderclap. Through in a Rend before Thunderclap and with Blood and Thunder, the Rend affects every target.
Now I need to work out how to get around Gnomer...
Big thanks to Laki who showed me that you don't even have to do the jump thing on the broken bridge; you can just swim over and run around the side. I wish I knew that the first time I was in here.
