Maybe it's because english is not my mother tongue, but I think Ashtongue
Deathsworn sounds cool.
It's Ligemort Cendrelangue in french. Sounds cool to you?
But that's not my point.
Two weeks ago, I tried to solo the Black Temple to gain some rep with AD
(it may be a cool name, but it's boring to write, so it will be AD for
now).
The first boss was some Gandalf fan : You shall not pass, he said. And he
was right. Najentus don't use his spike on the tank, and you need the
spike to break his shield or he will heal himself. So, end of the solo
trip. I had forgotten to check my rep before this (short) trip, but at
the end, I was at 6500 /21000.
Yesterday, a guildy asked me about United Nations and raid reputation.
Since only bosses give rep for Hydraxians after revered/honored (don't
remember), we went to Black Temple.
Feral druid and Retribution Paladin against the Illidary army.
Not problem with Najentus this time. I was tanking (sometines in cat,
sometimes in bear), the paladin was being "spiked", I would free him and
use the spike on the boss.
Dead boss, loots, 125 gold for each of us and around 1k rep (for the
trash and the boss). We continue to Supremus. The flying dragons were a
little boring, since a feral and a retributionnist don't have a lot of
ranged attack. Supremus was killed and another 1k rep gained.
I missed a pull in Akama's room, and with all the stunning mob, we died.
Since I was sure I had done no mistake (druids don't do mistakes), I
thought that all this stunning trash was too much and we wandered
somewhere else.
Guthrok, it was, a big orc, very angry, with a nasty armor debuff. We
tried, but we failed. That's when a shaman guidly asked to join us.
Waiting him, we killed the trash in Akama's room (hooo, we can pull them
in small group). Then, we ki...err saved Akama. After that, revenge
against Guthrok, and a another revenge against Teron for some questing in
Shadowmoon Valley a long time ago.
No more trash to kill, a closed door. We need to kill the reliquary of
whatever. Phase 1 : easy. Phase 2 : not easy. Not enough counterspell for
his disorientation effect and we wipe twice. After that, we stopped.
I'm now at 12k/21k, so that's 6k rep, some gold (125 for the first 2
boss, 83 for the other ones since we were three people, and all the loot
vendored to my squire and to the AD vendor inside the temple).
Not so bad. We will try to finish this run with the guild this week.
