The bloody furnace is not so hot

Maybe because there is blood instead of fire :)



Anyway some days ago I've been invited by a friend of mine who asked me if I wanted to do a run in the Bloody Furnace of the Hellfire Citadel. I said "ok" and so here you'll be able to take a look how this new instance appear.



The layout of this instance is pretty similar to Hellfire Citadel Ramparts: a long corridor, three bosses and a lot of groups of mobs with casters, summoners and warriors. On a side i have to say that it's a shame that the instance isn't complex with crossroads, parts you can skip or you can do.... on the other side I like it a lot because it is short and (as said before) it allows me to do it everytime i want without any worries.



Inside the instance has a layout that is a mix between Gnomeregan (wheels, strange devices, mobs that lay down bombs and mines) and Naxxramas... and the mix works because i think this instance is more inspired than Ramparts.



Here you see me trying making a special green-light-shower. Useful for to keep my skin white as the snow and soft as the rabbit fur :P



Talking about the bosses they are fun to play. One use the mind control to take one of the group on his side. This skill has been seen before a lot of time (Jammal in Sunken Temple, the female-ghost-boss in Stratholme, ecc...) but this time it has been funnier for i've been the one who has been controlled and i spammed smite and holy fire on the tank...

Lucky him i've been able to free myself in time to heal him... we were so close to be wiped out ^^



The second one is hard not because of him but because you have to kill a lot of mob-waves before you'll be able to face him. The mobs are easy but you have to pay attention to not to get out of mana...



The third one is easier than ever if you have a demon-lock and a hunter with you.. their pets can tank one of the normal mobs while you are killing the others and the boss.
Not sure if I'll do it again but it has been fun ^^ and i find that I'm not that bad even if I'm a shadow priest now ^^

New mobs on the block

Let's start with this second session of "The new side of Outland" also known as "everything you wanted to know about what's beyond the portal but you have never dared to ask" :P
Here we'll talk about some new mobs you could find along your journey.



First one: Vazruden. He is bad guy flying on a dragon over the entrance of the instance in Hellfire Citadel. He's elite, he's level 62... and you wouldn't like to invite him for the evening tea. So when you see him, watch out and shadowmelt :P



Second one: The mighty Felreaver. This huge robot is half Gundam and half Godzilla :) You'll be able to find him pretty soon and you'll have to pay attention to not to get its attention because he doesn't have a level only a skull under its portrait. And rarely this is a good sign :P



Third one: doomwhisperers. They are cutie girls with six arms... with blades, latex suit and a green fire instead of hair. A kind of uhm... apocalypse shivas :) They aren't so hard to kill anyway, a couple of blow are enough to make them eat the dust... what you won't like if you're a caster is her speed when she'll hit you with her swords. Shield yourself if you can... or keep her distant ^^



Fourth one: the unknown elite mob. I have no idea about the name of this mob but i was running with the tiger while a mate of my team aggroed him. No need to say it hasn't been a good idea. Maybe he's one of the children of Lord Kazzak... dunno.



Fifth one: Voidwalkers. These guys are big, ugly and stupid... they don't make anything but to walk along the Void Ridge, wait for you and try to kill you with their boreness. But they keep a secret that you could like to know. They could explode before they're going to die making a huge amount of damage... and above all they are always close to a kind of energy bubble that floats in the sky. When they are damage they start to get some health back through a energy flux that comes from the ball and goes directly to their body.
It's better if you keep your health always up... above all before the final blow ^^

Keep in touch for the next part where I'll show you all the ways a priest can die in these new lands :PPP

A little trip to Outland

I've done it this morning before going to work. No words, just photos for this post. I'll leave the words for a better moment when all my ideas will be in order again... ^^
