A Night of Heroic Lessons...

So last night, it was back to Heroics.

First we tried a run in the Black Morass on heroic. This instance can be tricky even on normal, since it's both an endurance test and a DPS test. You have to kill the main elite mobs quickly to close the portal they guard before you become overwhelmed with the smaller mobs the portals spawn, and before the next portal spawns.

We had a decent group for it, Ulushnar tanking, a Healing Druid, Rogue, Mage and Shadow-spec Priest. The biggest challenge however was when someone other than myself needed healing. the big mobs do a lot of damage, and if the healer takes their attention off the tank for even the six seconds it takes to heal one other character and shoot back to you, it can be a wipe. And it did cause a wipe, repeatedly.

After the third wipe, the Shadow Priest had to leave, so we got a Hunter in and shited our sights to the Underbog. It was later on by this point, we were all tired and we became sloppier as a result. We wiped a few times, but managed to clear to the first boss and some of the trash beyond. After that, we called it a night.

Not quite as amazing as Monday night then, but I'm not too bothered. A few more tries and we'll have mastered these ones as well.
