So for the past few weeks we’ve been running heroic Magisters’ Terrace a bit. (Well, ok, who am I kidding? We’ve been running it almost nightly.) Unlike the other heroics it’s still a bit of a challenge and there is some good loot to be had. The first time it was tough, but by the second time we tried it we felt like we had it down. After that we could clear it without too much difficulty except for the occasional butt pull. But lately it’s been kicking our ass. The first boss is cake, but the remaining bosses seem to giving us serious difficulties when before we might only need a couple attempts. We had to give up last night after wiping a few times on Kael’thas (we’d already had a very tough time with Delrissa). It’s been a bit frustrating. We aren’t quite sure why we are now having difficulties where before we would blow through this instance. We do have a theory though. We like to kill the squirrels in MGT. We aren’t normally critter killers (although I do admit I like to harvest a few crab legs for dinner in The Steamvaults), but perhaps out of frustration we like to smack around the squirrels in MGT when running back after a wipe. Our theory is that there is a hidden variable in the game. The more squirrels we kill the harder the bosses get.
I think that after last night’s run we all agree that it is good timing that the patch is coming out today. We’ll take a break from MGT and do some easier heroics to get used to the changes in our talents and the game mechanics before going back to kill some squirrels.
I told you your unwarranted violence against the squirrels would come back to haunt you!! I don’t know what it is about our dpsers… or ranged dpsers specifically that makes them feel the need to hurt the little critters.
When I played my mage, they mocked me those smug bastages!
