The New Five Mans

Decided to run the Deathknight through them first.

Forge of Souls

Really short and sweet. The first boss isn't bad... just move away when channeled on then stay in center for phase 2, running back to center when feared.

The second boss is a pain for dps, melee especially. He's always pooping out purple circles. And you have to stop DPS when he has the red tether out, but you don't always see it. Then there's the arc thing to run out of. Wiped the first time, but got him the second. Having a Portal pop up right there to PoS was nice.


Pit of Saron

Longer instance and a lot of running... even a gauntlet that recycles the Hodir rune circles! The first boss was pretty fun. Lost the healer because he, like most healers, doesn't like to move. The second boss wiped us... you can LoS that debuff off. The last boss people wouldn't move when the drake targeted someone, but we grunted through. Pretty fun seeing all those slaves die at the end.


Halls of Reflection

Holy shit, the first encounter was a pain. The -75% DPS/Heal debuff is total ass. Ended up LoSing behind the boss to draw the ranged spirits in. The second boss was also evil with the aoes and half-health debuff. The ret pally with us died five times.... kinda kewl since I got to use my Raise Ally. Running out with Jaina was pretty awesome.


Summary
The whole series was pretty fun. Enjoyed getting in there and not having a clue what to expect. Reacting and learning quickly instead of know what's too come. Listening to the NPCs as the story progressed. And interacting with Jaina. Too bad that's over already.

Didn't get the DK any upgrades until the very last. Won The Lady's Promise over the constaDead ret paladin. Then I got a nice patch surprise... constant DC. Before I could even equip the ring, I was insta DC'd. Log in, hear the join group sound, insta DC. Total cycle so I have to put a ticket in.

Seems there are some BoP drops from trash. At least in the Pit of Saronan an Unsharpened Ice Razor dropped for our lucky rogue off of a skeleton.
