I’ve got a great idea! (Wouldn’t you like to know…)

So, like most of you, I’ve been running WAY more heroic instances than I ever have before. Some of these (Oculus, Gundrak) I only ever ran once or twice before the coming of the great LFG. So I am, to put it mildly, a bit shaky on some of the boss mechanics.

This usually isn’t a huge issue on the druid (whack-a-mole) or the Gnome (just need to watch casting interrupts) but on my DK it’s led to more than a few “…oops, he whirlwinds” moments where I get insta-gibbed.

So, since one of my original purposes of this blog was to have a place where I could “think out loud” to help myself play the game better, and hopefully help others along the way, I’m going to do just that.

I’m going to run a series of guides on the Heroic Instances of Northrend. Because I’m sure I”m not the only person who hasn’t run these in FOREVER and who needs a refresher on boss/instance mechanics. (I’m looking at you, everyone who bails from Oculus.)

So, here are my goals:

  • Cover the basics of each instance (where to go, required & skippable bosses, etc)
  • Important boss mechanics
  • Instance Achievements, including the hard ones.

Deadly Boss Mods - Not really a reference, but this includes a package for 5-man bosses. Why are you running with out it?

And the ever-popular WowHead and WoWWiki.
