ThinkGeek - Cool Stuff for Geeks and Technophiles

Arust and I decided to see if it was possible for the two of us to duo Violet Hold normal last weekend. Me with the BM tank spec, and Arust as MM providing the dps needed to keep up with the timed instance.

The trash was easy – I could heal the pet for more damage than it took, and with Arust there our dps easily kept pace with the portals. We got very unlucky with the bosses, landing Xevozz – who has to be kited a bit by the tank – and Ichoron with his elemental adds, knockback, and general aoe damage.

In the end, neither they nor Cyanigosa were enough to deal with two member of the WHU!

    Background Music.

  7. Frostheim says:

    Ah, the song is Gamen by Garmarna – a swedish band that does some traditional folk songs with modern instrumentation.

    I often use them as background music in my Werewolf the Apocalypse games.

  8. Prometheus says:

    hi, whats’ the name of frostheim’s hud?

    I had a theory once that a 5-hunter rotational-tank system could get through some heroics. That’s much (much) harder to pull off though, and might fail anyway.

    I’ve also run VH with a buddy not too long ago, but it was a healer buddy, so it was easier than this would be. Good job, and cool music.

    next up, HOS

  11. Phantas says:

    This is truely what hunters are all about.. Doing it our way where other classes might have to give up. Really an amazing job guys i cant belive it :p

  12. Fradin says:

    Very nice work guys cant wait to try some out for myself but you make it look to easy lol have you tried the heroic version ?

  13. Wobin says:

    Just a note, if you want to make Ichoron trivial, use the Prison Defense system each time he explodes. Timed right, it’ll activate precisely as the adds spawn, kill them all, and force him to reform. Do that twice more, and you can just shoot him with a pea shooter at the end to take him down.

    It doesn’t show the awesomeness of the hunter dps, but it’s a hell of a lot easier =)

  14. UniQ says:

    Ahh I remember the good times, me and my hunterfriend ran stratholm, scholomance and lbrs, just the two of us, was great fun.

  15. daragh says:

    excellent video guys… that was truely fun to watch… this humble kiwi hunter bows to you too…

  16. dd says:

    yeh ichoron is the easiest of the lot. there’s not even any real time needed to activate the switches, just hit it as soon as she pops her bubble

  17. josefine says:

    Nice !

    are u guys from sweden? considering the music.

  18. Frostheim says:

    Heh, no, we are from the US. Minnesota, with lovely winters going to 30 below zero, and currently approaching 100 degrees above :)

  19. Hrist says:

    For those of you who don’t use the Amercian measurement system, that’s -34C – 37.8C. Of course then you add in the 100% humidity NON STOP THROUGH THE SUMMER.

    Yea…if there is one things I don’t miss about MN it’s the bi-polar temperature disorder. It gets much hotter and for much longer in TX but at least it’s a DRY heat.

  20. Yorigrim says:

    I don’t know why all of you refuse to live somewhere awesome, like me. :)

  21. Hrist says:

    When did you move out of California!?

  22. Frostheim says:

    Viewed another way that is a temperature range of 239K to 311K.

    Or in Aussie measurements that’s -23db to 317db (using the common Drop Bear scale, measuring the heat output on an average person when cuddling with a given number of Drop Bears).

  23. Hrist says:

    If by “cuddle” you mean lay there suffocating as the bear drinks your beer on top of you then you are correct.

  24. Vael says:

    That looks like good fun!
    My guildies are currently putting together a 5-man Pally VS. Druid race thru UK, and I want to play along. Think a group of Hunters who know there stuff (and have some bad ass tenacity pets in the stable, of course) could compete?

  25. Yorigrim says:

    I would lol if the hunters could beat those teams. However you’d be hard pressed to beat either from the constant need to drink…although perhaps you could do some kind of hopping scheme of 2 teams of 2 and 1 hunter as backup and all 5 on bosses. Would be interesting to say the least…you make me want to finish leveling my hunter :D

  26. quivering says:

    what about soloing ahune for midsummer on normal? can anyone do that? ive been trying but its me that dies, my pet is relatively fine. its the small adds goofy aggro table that screws me over.

  27. Gilanor Jenkins says:

    lol frost if you love weather to the extream, come to canada ;)

    awsome vid guys, some day i will be a masterful master too..maby some year actualy

  28. Yorsove says:
