2-man Botanica – talking about fun and such
In my last post I claimed how we should go out and have some fun in the new all you can eat WoW these days. Today Tuku, who happens to be my brother and a most awesome player of all classes, and I went into Botanica normal mode to see how far we can get. A Prot Warrior and a Discipline Priest – probably the worst combination to do anything at all a week ago – on Badge/Kara gear.
We didn’t expect much trouble in the beginning and it went smoothly indeed. Tuku didn’t ever get below 95% mana and my dps were somewhere around 600 to 1200 (the more mobs, the more dps – damage shield we love you big time!). First boss was an easy kill, trash not a problem at all. We had our first thoughts about boss #2, due to his healing phase and my dps especially on soft-hitting single mobs being somewhat lower due to a lack of rage (thinking about it now I probably should’ve just thrown off some dodge items). But after he healed up full twice we got the hang of it and downed him in just a few minutes.
Mr. Demonboy was easier than we’d imagined – Tuku finished off the fight with a 100% mana and it only took us four or five hellfires to send him back to where he belons. Off you go, Demonboy. Next step: Laj. The adds were a real bugger here, Tuku tried to kill them off in the beginning but that didn’t work out all that well. So later I tried to keep aggro on them but those guys just don’t want to move a step so with the constant healing Tuku inevitable pulled aggro again. It got a little close towards the end and I was thinking we might need another attempt, but we it worked out somehow.
Only thing left was this guy (oh, by the way, pulling both flower-groups at once made for some really sweet dps spikes). We could’ve done this fight for hours to go, but couldn’t manage to get enough of the adds down, or to do enough damage so they wouldn’t heal him back to 100%. Next time, big boy! Oh, the whole run took us roughly an hour. Mechanar will be next, and we’re not talking normal mode there.
What are you guys doing for fun?
