Hello, everyone!
It has been quite a while since I posted here. That was because I was terribly busy working on my diploma. In additional to biochemistry courses and job I had to do I was left with only 5-6 hours of sleep every day including weekends. But finally I finished my studying, and now I have more time to play :)
Now the news: today I defended my diploma with "A" grade therefore finished my many-years education! This is over, I'm an engineer of chemical technology! )))
Six long year have passed, 6 years - when I started it I was so young, I still cannot believe it. In the same time I remember all like it was yesterday. Long hours of lections, brainstorming during seminars, work in laboratory and with each lesson I was opening secrets of chemistry, biochemistry, physics and so on. Yeah, this page of my life was turned today, but new page started! New page of graduated life! :)
Surprisingly my oral diploma defense and 6.2 WoW patch arrival came at the same day :) So after ceremonial part in my university I came right into my guild's first Hellfire Citadel raid :D
My GM allowed me to join the second raid, despite the fact I missed all BRF Mythic. Honestly, I was so excited! My successful diploma defense and new raid all in one day!
As usual (though last "usual" time was 1/2 year ago :)) I'm gonna describe and rate all bosses I saw so far. Lets start! Oh, and by the way, this was Heroic raid, keep in mind all raiders were in ~700 gear (mine was even lower) while bosses in this raid drop 705-720 gear.
1) Hellfire Assault - 2nd try - 2/10 - As usual first boss was easy. TBH I didn't even see the boss. Encounter just looked like trash packs we saw before. Too bad mages don't have good cleave mechanics :( I think Blizzard should make Ice Lance glyph like "Hit for 50% for all targets except your main one." They can even add something like "This effect diminishes for all targets more than two." Because warriors have increased damage for each target, shamans have, DKs have, why not mages? Our cleave is good only for two targets.
2) Iron Reaver - 9th try - 5,5/10 - Significantly harder than previous boss ... suddenly I remembered Oregorger ... Fire is everywhere, people were burning all the time. Even with BRD Mythic gear we were struggling to kill this one.
3) Kormrok - 3rd try - 3/10 - I didn't understand what we were doing here TBH :) Sometimes hands spawning, sometimes boss jumps, sometimes waves coming. Boss is easy, none of his mechanics are deadly, but I still don't understand it :)
4) Hellfire High Council - 3rd try - 3/10 - Ol'good council boss, I missed this one since SoO Protectors. Good thing is 2 of 3 bosses are known from previous content - TBC and WC3. There is only one dangerous mechanics - flying voids - not deadly, but hits hard, so take care, two our wipes was because people didn't pay attention.
Look I can even see my DPS from here )))
5) Kilrogg Deadeye - 4th try - 4/10 - Big amount of HP - fight is quite long, I believe this boss with increased damage will be hard in Mythic mode, but for Heroic its quite easy, one just need to pay attention to mark, and everyone should kill adds fast. I even won 710 item, yay! :)
6) Gorefiend - 8th try - 5/10 - Second difficult boss after Iron Reaver. I bet this one will be a read challenge on Mythic mode. HUGE amount of HP - more than all previous bosses in this expansion. No deadly mechanics, but some mechanics combined (there are a lot of different mechanics btw) can kill you. Remember, adds are always prio.
That's all for today, boys and girls, this crazy long day has finally came to its end, time to go sleep :)
