RopeDrink's Tale Of Stealth And Tomfoolery

RopeDrink

I literally logged on one morning realising I needed some Dark Iron Scraps, decided that to get some I'd go clear out the Grim Guzzler... However as I pummeled the dwarves I thought about how boring the game had been since raiding has come to a complete halt (since patch 2.00 / 2.01) and, having cleared the entire pub, decided to record it all and upload it.

As the end quote states, this is nothing new or fantastic - Infact people may find the fights boring as 80% of them are all along the same format - Evasion, Evasion, Evasion...

However, no death was conceded in my hunt of the basic bosses, despite being unprepared (Was using scraps of consumes I had been saving for other raids rather than having planned what I brought - had no FR gear or Sharpening / Weight Stones to use vs poison immune bosses, Mongoose pots, Whipper Roots etc etc) so I hold that to my credit, along with the fact my 10/0/41 spec isn't exactly PvE DPS heavy.

Movie includes the demise of:

Plugger, Phalanx, Ribbly, Hurley, Pyromancer Loregrain, Fineous Darkvine, Stilgis & Verek, Watchman Doomgrip, Grim Guzzler completely emptied of all mobs (Elite & Non-Elite) and the opening & looting of the entire vault room including the Dark Coffer Secret Safe after clearing the room.

I repeat, this has all been done before by better players in more challenging circumstances, so if you are looking to view something brand spanking new, look elsewhere...

However, if you want some insight into some of these basic bosses, or see what you may / may not need to conquer them, then I hope you learn something from the movie...

Also, I do sincerely hope this encourages at least ONE person to try this out themselves - It's been the most fun solo-antic I've ever participated in and it has fuelled my desire to actually prepare and attempt much harder feats in the near future before Azeroth is forgotten once Outlands opens up.

To be continued...

The above says it all - Thanks to lack of raiding I've been reduced to trying my hand at solo'ing instance bosses out of curiosity, boredom, spec test and, well, sheer greed.

Hope at least one person enjoys this pointless movie.

PS. I'm not a fan of Greenday, Oasis or Eminem but for some reason I like the 2nd tune.
Hope someone out there enjoys this 11min pile of crud... Don't know about the movie but I certainly enjoyed the actual play.

Hmm, speaking as a druid that is no stranger to soloing the unsoloable, that is pretty damn good

Btw, whats the first song?
The second song, I was convinced it was oasis for the whole intro. Then greenday starts and I was totally confused...
Then oasis comes in half way through and my head exploded.

True story.

Ivan

Oh and the eminem bit in the same song, is lifted straight from a Led Zeppelin song...

Joseph

Nice.

What was the mod displaying the damage windows, didn't look like scrolling combat text ...

Dcully

Yeah i was about to ask the same question.
Nice vid and impressive work ingame too.

Dcully

I was referring to the text scrolling upwards for damage etc,like combat text only looked different,nicer.
