Secrets of Shadowbolting

For all of those who have not heard of the gong boss in ZA, you are lucky. Blizzard of Oz has never had an issue with the gong boss until very recently. The last patch has done many things and after about 20 minutes and 3 failed attempts to get into ZA, we vented our frustration in the local chat channels and a nice soul told us to just click once and let it go. All the poundings and beatings we had been doing were apparently screwing it up.

Who knew? Anyway, we don our halloween costumes, beat up the gong boss and head in.

We prance on through the instance, clearing all sorts of fun things, finally taking down Hex lord and seeing the infamous Zul’Jin.
He looked pretty scary.

but in the end, he fell like the rest.

We’ve now gone through with a couple of groups and again, as with almost every instance and raid, group makeup is key. If we’re stacked too heavily on melee or spell casters, certain aspects of the fight are painful at best. This is quite possibly the one thing that will be the most painful to us come the expansion. Melee DPS, Ranged DPS and finding the happy medium.

Now we just need to farm ZA a little more to get all the drops everyone wants before the expansion comes out.
