I am still pretty exhausted from Comicon and taking my son out for a swim, so I didn't try to do a full clear of the instance on my first go. Instead, I just kinda waded in, nervous as hell since I don't know what to expect, and make my way to the first boss.
I wasn't expecting to go to Underbog first. I thought Slave pens was listed as easier, but I didn't have any quests for it.
Anyways, in my opinion, this instance was fairly easy compared to when I first went into Ramparts, and about the same in difficulty as Blood Furnace so far. Unlike BF, I can't really perform any crowd control, so I have been pulling the groups of 2-3 and just tanking it like I did back in Azeroth. They hit hard, but I had no problems maintaining aggro and burning them down. It was like this all the way to Hungarfen.
Now, this gigantic bog lord for a boss, apparently guarding some gigantic looking pube sticking out of the ground, was a pain. Specifically, I need to constantly move my guys to ensure the spores don't ruin my day. It is extremely challenging to add individual movement to my already stressed out multitask list of tanking, dps, and healing. I tried it twice to move them when a spore got close, but it just didn't work right, or I'd fumble and wipe.
So, I said fuck it, kept all my toons on follow, and just ran with it. I would run up and tank, cast 2 fireballs and move when my health got topped off. Rinse and repeat. Moved out of range at 20% and re-engaged when he was finish doing...whatever bog lords do when they reach 20%. The rest is history.
And for all that, he drops some POS leather glove piece that joined my growing collection of small prismatic shards.
I'll try a full run tomorrow when I don't feel so tired.
