The Gaming Lizard

It's been a while (*cough*) since my last post before laziness and procrastination took over once more. Coupled that with various camps cropping up prior to my entry to university and we got one very lazyass blogger indeed.

4.2 have been out for almost a month now and many good guilds have downed up to heroic 4/5. H Rag kills seemed to be on the quiet side thou and that's fantastic.

The Molten Front dailies hub is wonderful, with a sense of a real war going on in the background. Spawns come freely in here and as long as you don't touch anything, they'll not touch you. One real issue thou is the FPS. Is it due to the improved polygons or simply the Dalaran-effect once more?


Firelands raid is a blast to be in although the trash are too much for my own taste. Clearing enough trash to spawn Shannox is tiresome and I hope Blizzard can cut down on the number of trash packs in the place. None the less, they still provide challenges for the raid.

Having downed only Shannox and Beth'tilac, I can say that they are comfortably difficult, like the 4.0 raid bosses. Shannox is definitely easier to attempt on 10m than 25m simply due to the number of people vs. the number of traps. More people means you get a higher chance of a inattentive raider stepping on a trap. Beth'tilac has a bit too much aoe damage flying about, from her lava piss to the spiders-on-a-web.

All in all, patch 4.2 is fantastic even if we're still stuck with doing between 2 heroics and the annoying fact that people are still stupid enough to fail on them.

Till next time, hobey ho.
