Sethekk Halls is Kindergarden until Ikiss

The instance itself was pretty easy. Made lots of use of Misdirection and our tank just loved it. I need to do a good blog entry on this fabulous hunter talent, don’t I.

Shadow priest, fire mage, destruction warlock, arms warrior, beastmaster hunter. We made short work of all the trash mobs and killed the first boss basicially ignoring the elemental adds.

The second half of the instance required us to do a little more due to people getting feared into mobs, and a happy-go-lucky tank who wandered a little too far into my Ultimate Zone of Perfect Safety when I Feigned Death to abort a bad pull.

The fear was particularly troubling as I myself was feared once. I don’t like to die, and I really hate getting feared. Fear me? I’ve got your fear right here, baby. Have a little taste of Bestial Wrath and The Beast Within. I’ll even pop Intimidation, Rapid Fire, and a +200 RAP trinket to let you really have some fun. Do you like me and Big Red Kitty’s combined 925 DPS? Guess you can’t answer, ’cause you’re Dead.

Go ahead and try to fear me now, beyotch.
That particular dump of testerone required a cookie to celebrate, so we took a small break before continuing to Talon King Ikiss. When we got to him, we decided to try the ole standby, “run-in-and-see-what-happens” strategy.

Well, Ikiss blinks.
His arcane missles go through stone.
His arcane explosion kills squishies in one shot.

Obviously, we needed a more subtle strategy than, “me smash, you heal”.

What eventually worked was grouping everyone but the tank in the same area on a side of a big pillar. When Ikiss blinked to us, we just ran to the other side of the pillar, which blocked the arcane explosion, and the tank was able to quickly find Ikiss and regain aggro. He dropped two cloth loots and the squishies celebrated.

BRK had been polymorphed once and was justifiably kitty-pissed. He subsequently lifted his hind leg on the splattered body, which was a perfect opportunity for a screenshot.

Oh, BRK just reminded me to say a big BRK Purr of Thanks to the shadow priest who critted a greater healing for 5200 on his soft, furry butt.
