Underblog.

Two nights ago I ran Underbog for the first time with a PUG. Our group consisted of…a level 70 warrior (not Tack), level 64 warrior, level 64 Paladin, level 62 rogue, and level 63 hunter (me). We were sort of strange mix, but it worked well and we had a great time.

Since reaching Outland I’ve had a few chances to practice my chain trapping in Ramparts and Blood Furnace. In Underbog I really fell into the rhythm of it and I feel very confident now. It’s all about the timing. Learning to set the trap ahead of time, so that the cool-down is up in time to set it again and again and sometimes…again. I was able to consistently trap a mob up to 3 times until the rest of the party was ready to burn him down. On a couple of occasions someone (I think our pally) broke the trap and it was stressful waiting for my cool-down or the group to assist me, but it never became a serious problem.

Then there is dps to discuss. Even though I was constantly trapping I still managed to top the dps charts. I was almost at 500 which was a full 100 higher than anyone else. My dps has recently increased a great deal by improving my hit rating. It was a good feeling to know that I was pulling my own weight.

After the second boss the group kind of fell apart. The Paladin needed to leave and our new Paladin needed to be summoned and we swam through some infested waters and all died and I needed to go to bed…but a fun night for sure.
