Comments on: My First Heroic: Not So Much http://kestrelsaerie.com/2008/05/my-first-heroicnot-so-much/ An Eclectic Collection of Musings on Life, Living, and Blogging Sun, 09 Oct 2011 01:16:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Kestrel http://kestrelsaerie.com/2008/05/my-first-heroicnot-so-much/comment-page-1/#comment-1431 Kestrel Sat, 10 May 2008 06:39:09 +0000 http://kestrelsaerie.us/?p=342#comment-1431 Thanks to both of you for the info. Dave, that's good advice. My only excuse is, the guy more or less leading the group suggested Heroic Crypts, so we said "Sure why not?" Just as a follow-up, we ran normal Crypts a night or two ago -- 4-manning most of it (Osprey off-tanked the skellies :p). A couple of the others couldn't remember ever being in there, so it gave us a great opportunity to get more familiar with the layout and the pulls, both of which we expect will pay dividends when next we run it on Heroic.

You cut your teeth on a hard one to start, don't get too discouraged. We love it when Botanica is the daily since it is a 5 boss dungeon already and the extra 2 make it that much sweeter. Start in the Underbogs. You'll find piling up 4 badges a run goes quickly and you'll be better geared for the harder ones in no time. What Nibuca said essentially.

Easiest: Underbog, Slave pens followed closely by Ramparts and Botanica. Nearly Impossible: Everything in Cavern's of Time. Everything else is just very very hard. Harder than Karazhan. In a heroic Sethikk Halls I expect to wipe a lot. Even with a fully Kara geared group of guildies. Nibuca http://chicanery.fibergeek.com/ Consider that all heroics are not created equal.
