My First Wrath Heroic and My First Wrath Epic
This weekend I decided to take the plunge and start actively trying to join PUGs to run some 5-mans. In all my previous WoWing, I’ve never once joined a PUG or ran an instance that was at my level. When I hit 80, the first thing I did was go to Hellfire Peninsula and run Hellfire Ramparts and the Blood Furnace solo but that hardly counts as adequate experience for what I went through over the weekend.
After two successful runs through Drak’Tharon Keep and Gundrak on normal difficulty I felt like I had a good grip on the ropes so I hopped in with a group running Utgarde Keep on Heroic. Right out of the gate things were rough when they questioned my level 70 PvP gear. In the end, while I wasn’t near the top of the damage charts, I held my own all the way through the end.
The best part of the whole run was the final boss drop: the Drake-Mounted Crossbow. This ended my brief affair with guns as I ran back to crossbows in a heartbeat.
For the rest of the weekend, I kept running 5-mans as often as I could. I ran normal versions first to get the lay of the land before trying them on Heroic. While I didn’t see any more quality drops like I did during that first Utgarde Keep run I did get a ton of reputation with the Wyrmrest Accord. I’m about a quarter of the way to hitting Exalted and snagging my own Red Drake.
