Finally got my DK up to snuff for Legion! She'll be the first one I try that isnt 100 too. So lets see how much L99 hurts. o.<
Start off by death gating "Home"!
Ooo... Surprise thing vid... I wont spoil. ;3
Follow the Highlord, get to the port... Abit of funny side RP/Convos to walk by... Leave me alone, im easily amused..
Ooh, its not a port, just a opener... Oookay then. o.O
Ah first mobs... First off: Ow... We now lack all the usual healing we had so... Ow... (I also have a 685 and 605 weapon so my damage is lower then it should/could be)
Fun Fact: That mechanic your suppose to dodge in ICC? It doesnt HURT but it does STUN now... So yah..
So pick a side, kill, get shards.. (Fun fact! If you control one of the mobs with control dead you can get them to kill each other and make your life abit easier!)
Along the way theres a cool puzzle with our favorite stone bats... You kill them and then DG them back onto the platform. (Just stand on the opposite side against the rim) Sadly, mine bugged. So when the second wouldnt move I stood on the thing myself and it worked.
For the first guy you'll fight... Get out of the WW... He wont follow shockingly.
Next guy just needs a silence during heal... Irony: Curses the light but uses HOLY LIGHT?!
Third: Just dodge the shield or use your shield to eat it...
Last Shard: You can silence hammer and absorb the AoE with shield if you want but hes not too special.
NOW! To the Throne to kill the Lich Kin-- oh wait...
Well, up all the same... Time to magic up two swords from the badass sword every DK wanted in Wrath... That Blizz teased us with as a weapon...
Ah fuck... Back into the blades... Always hated that... For those who dont know the lore, what you'll see is the true face of the lich king. The Orc... Ner'zhul. He corrupted the blade and and Arthas and made them puppets.
Soo.. The fight... If your not moving you did something wrong. From spikes in the floor to Ner'zhuls magic balls of ow and Arthas slamming infront of him... Move Thy Ass.
Upside, you can single target the ice to proc free death strikes... And if you push to stay a few yards to the left or right of the moving orc you'll be able to dodge the orbs easily...
I found the easiest thing to do was to move around enough to not get hit by the orbs by treating Ner as a moving clock piece. If hes at 12 im at 3 or 9. If hes at 9 im at 12 or 6. You get the idea.. I also just took the slams and used my sycthe to blast through a couple of the ice and proc death strike enough to get back to 100% before going back to full on Arthas.
About 25% theres a "add" phase.. He summons undead and you have to kill them before they reach him or he heals. And its big chunks so kill as best you can as quickly as possible.. Theres packs of giest, ghoul and zombie.
Then kill him again as above. Once hes down you'll get sent out.
Boom. Blades... Now that "Blessing"
And back home!
Done!
I give this a fricking 8/10... True im a 99 but even Nav said it was pretty hard (and he had raid gear from Warlords on..) So even with my lack of gear the mechanics were abit tricky and took alittle time and the damage was pretty massive for a spec that had all its healing ripped away... Cool factor though? 20/10! This is one of the coolest lines i've done and very DK authentic. It touched on the Lore and had some fun quirks. Plus the mechanics made it more interactive then most of raid fights.
So a cool but Ouchy artifact... Excuse me while I warm up now!
