A Short Break

Phew. Level 60 now, so I've decided I deserve something of a break - gonna be playing around with my other characters for the rest of the day, or maybe mucking around on http://www.kongregate.com/, a nice Flash game website. Have a look, I'm sure they'll appreciate the plug.

So. As usual, I've encountered yet more BM stupidity over the last couple of days. The guide very much misunderestimatificated me, as it makes no mention of Araj the Summoner, a level 61 Elite in the Ruins of Andorhal, usually needing a three or four man group to take down safely, due to the absurd number of mobs around him; you need a few people to clear the groups of 4-5 mobs, and he himself is no cakewalk. You can see where this is going, right? With some careful pulling and CD-usage, I soloed him at level 58. The mobs around him were the only trouble, since until 3.0.2 it's quite tricky to have your pet tank 5 targets while you're mending pet. In effect you need to actively control the beasty, switching frantically between targets, until he's established a fair chunk of threat.

Araj himself was fairly easy; tanking and spanking, in effect. I had to kill off the two low-power adds he summons, but that was the biggest complication. Meh. My spec is absurd, so I feel less pride than I would've on, say, my rogue when he was at that level.

Oh, and I pwnt some level 59 nelf BM hunter as well, which does induce some pride. Close match.
