Tonight we welcomed Jubba into our group for the first time. Ol' Jub managed to level from 1-22 in less than a week just so he could come along with us! His help made a notable difference as we dropped mobs like flies once the DPS was called in. Thanks, Jub!
Our area of destruction tonight was Shadowfang Keep (SFK). While we were in there, a mutual friend in our chat channel said "Are you guys doing Shadowfang as a four-man?" It hadn't occurred to us that we were hot-dogging it: it was just the next stop on our map. We sustained no deaths until we reached the last boss (Arugal.) It didn't take him long to turn our tank into a drooling werewolf and then teleport across the room. So, yeah- we wiped. And our chatty friend made sure to offer help "...after you guys wipe for like the seventh time let me know and I'll come help." Feh.
As it turned out, we only wiped that one time and quickly returned to serve out a cold dish to the insidious Worgen ruler. When the going got tough, the DDDs got going with serious and unstoppable DPS. Our poor tank needed a res, though.
So what did we learn?
Well for one, we need a contingency plan for when the tank suddenly starts howling at the moon. It also helps to "cut the chatter" when the fight is on. With only the necessary talking going on during battle, important messages from the tank like "I'M A WEREWOLF!!!" won't get stepped on.
We also needed to be ready for that spell before it landed on us. An ounce of prevention...
(No party photos this time... our cameraman suddenly got furry and scampered away.)
