This is the blog on my character, Mordigen. He is a protection spec warrior, that is the MT for my guild Solrain Navy on the Sargeras US server. This is about some of the encounters I have had, and some of the things that I have learned.
The other Door

So I went over my exciting trip to Serpentshrine Caverns the other day, now for my first trip to Tempest Keep the Eye. I actually ran this first a week or so ago.
We had the same issue here. We ran Gruul's Lair with a full raid leaving people behind. Went through the cave, and wiped it clear off all opposition and took all the loot with us. The big boss laying at our feet as we prepare to move on to Tempest Keep, then the fun starts. People have to leave of course. So we end up with about 21 or 22 people. To top it off, my wifes computer crashed shortly after we start clearing trash inside TK and we can not get it to work. She has a new computer now after all the diagnosis and switching parts.
Once inside we make our way pretty good through the mobs, get a few epics from them, have a little hickup at the pheonix when we pull two of them. Make it through all of that finally, clear our way down the hall to Void Reaver. Once in his room, we clear all the remaining mobs in there and start our attempts.
It goes poorly at first. I go over some of the strats with another officer going over other parts. We try to explain the arcane orbs, and people have tons of trouble avoiding them. I am sure positioning has some to do with that now and it will be corrected for next run, but none the less, the complaint is they are not slow moving, and the majority of the people are just not moving out of it in time. Officer chat is going wild. It comes up, how is one of our Mages not taking any damage? I suggest maybe she is moving out of the way of the arcane orb, that would be the simple solution. I am not sure if people are not looking for the orbs, not reacting quick enough, or just don't move unless it is their name that comes up on the boss mod saying they are targeted, so they are taking damage from the orb hitting next to them that was targeted at someone else.
Well, we make a good handful of approaches at him, none working any better than the other really. So we learn how it works, now we can go back to the boards and refine. Which I posted on proper positioning to maximize range and healing. We will see how that goes soon I hope.
It seems after we make our first attempts at a new instance it takes us a while to get back to that place again. Next on the schedule, Magtheridon. Time to read up on this one again and be prepared for the raid.
