lvl 27 elite boss looked awsome

Yah, good place to do at 25 daily until you hit 29.
Staff never dropped for me. -.- (Asmo side)

I only ran this once. It was alright. There's not much strategy, just kinda pull carefully or have lots of CC. I did like they had the door that you had to break down. But it seems like they just cannon foddered enemies into a zone. I really wish they added decent loot tables (we didn't get anything other than kinah off the big boss guy, or anything other than some shity greens from any other boss for that matter, which is bullshit imo).

Also, if they made some pulls doable. We were all 27-28 with decent gear, and the first boss pull (the one off to the right up the hill) was a bitch and a half. I think we wiped like 4-5 times just trying to pull without getting all the mobs.

I had fun learning an instance layout I hadn't done before. But I really wish they added some strategies to the boss fights rather than tank n' spank. The most people had to do was, try not to pull all the mobs at once on certain pulls.

I think we had like 3-4 Stigmas drop. Everything else was a couple silly greens (I got some green shoulders that were an upgrade at the time). I find it silly that there is a level cutoff for instances. But I would have liked to run this a bit more. I'm just about to ding 30 so I guess I'll have to wait until I get my alts up to 25. :/

From what I hear the weapon drops in Fire Temple are really nice.

Yeah I ran the instance again with a pug, the second time armour it was alot easier, because you knew exactly what to do. No flavour really, if you have done it once there is not much stimuli to do it again other than phat exp (i had 100% rested so it was epic). It started off as a complete failure; 3 wipes because the chanter decided he knew how to mark. After I was leader, it ran smoother.

I hear the NTC is the better instance, as its newer and the devs had an idea of how to set one up. The fire temple and the older instances are quite bland in comparison apparently. But we shall see when we run it soon, aye shiggs?

Good screens though sora

but the drops on the boss are actually not bad. when we went a sweet blue 1 hander sword dropped and when my friend ran it got an amazing blue staff. ive also heard it drops a great blue shield, im more interested though in a polearm upgrade. Im going to run it again tonight hopefully, no screen shots this time. I already popped that cherry.

i liked the blandness that the instance gave. not only is it good for newbie MMOer's who have never ran a dungeon to get a feel around lvl 25ish, but i enjoy the bland grind of this MMO in general. so it appeased to my taste.

first run when smoother then ever. only 1 death during only 1 fail pull, everything else went over easy and fast with very very little downtime. (I also didnt group with random people for the most part) I had 2 guildies and 2 in-game friends i previously have grouped with, 1 random.

I think the problem I have isn't the lack of phat lewts, it's the fact that you kill a boss and he has a potential to drop just kinah, or a random green. I think that all bosses should have 100% chance to drop at least 1 blue or decent BoP boss specific drop. :<

I do agree with you that the drops aren't half bad, I just wish they would actually drop more often!

I did Fire Temple today. =( It was very boring, predictable and blandish... hehe. XD

Easy instance. Deadmines was harder.

You landlubbers are tougher than I thought. I'll have to improvise!

A heroic version of Deadmines will be added for high level players in the upcoming expansion, World of Warcraft: Cataclysm.

AMG! I wish they did this for Uldaman earlier (like even TBC)! Spellbombs were fuckin' crazy. Toughest instance ever. :S
