Whirly: good to go

We’ve been alternating between the Ramparts, Blood Furnace and The Slave Pens instances in Outland. We are all 63 and will probably make 64 Monday. Just a reminder, there are three of us - Warrior, Mage, Priest so we take a little longer to kill all the bosses in an instance than a full group. We’ve only killed the first boss in Ramparts so far. He is easy for us now and we are kind of farming him. Not that he has anything we need.

We’ve also killed the first boss in Blood Furnace, The Maker, though it was a complete fluke. We’ve tried him five or six times since. The best we’ve done was to get him down to 50%. The Maker mind controls one of us and that just screws everything. It makes for some interesting deaths, that’s for sure. Mike’s Mage blew me up once - Damn those Mage’s put out a lot of damage. The Maker controlled Mark’s Warrior sending him after Mike’s Mage while he beat on my Priest. A couple of times one of us survived the fight by being mind controlled when the other two died. The Maker resets to his home position, leaving one of us standing. I say “one of us”, but I should say one of them. I never survived.

We did take a little timeout to visit Stratholme and Scholomance. Two instance we’ve never been able to work with only three of us. Now that we are over 60 we can. It was interesting to see the zones. The loot and experience makes it a waste of time now. Still, different content is always welcome.

Burning Crusades isn’t quite working out for us. With our limited play schedule, it’s taking us about a month per level. That’s not bad, but running the same instance ten times is. We’ve poked around in the outside zones a little, it’s just not our thing. The outside stuff is geared towards solo players, you don’t need a group. Even our little group is overkill. There may be more that we are missing. None of us seem interested in doing any research so we continue with what we know. We soldier on, singing a happy tune. Except for Mark. He isn’t wild about singing. He does a pretty good Moooooo! occasionally.
