Last night, our guild worked on Kael’Thas for a couple of hours, and rather than clearing trash again after it repopped, gathered the entire guild to one shot Doom Walker and Doom Lord Kazzak for the first ever attempt on these two bosses.The picture below was taken as we were all flying above DoomWalker (at the entrance of the Black Temple). It would be fun if Blizzard could actually give us a boss that has to be fought from the air.Aerial attack above DoomWalker

It is up and running since yesterday. Running – sort of – since Blizzard is already making a hot fix of it and took the realms down this morning for 2 hours.What is good? Lots of things! Here are the official patch notes, and the undocumented changes (yet).What do I like in Patch 2.3:

  • The end of the hunter dead zone is a big deal. You can now be in close range of a mob and still pawn it with your ranged weapon. Very useful for raid mobs that charge the player who is the farthest from it.
  • Zul’Aman is really good fun. We did two guild groups last night, not really thinking about class balance and needs, and it was a bit of a wipe fest as we learnt the trash and boss fights. We managed to down Bear and Eagle bosses. I don’t think that we’ll be ready for the timed quest – which requires to kill a boss and its trash in less than 20 minutes – before some time. It took us about 3 hours (and close to 50Gs in repair bills) to get through these two bosses. And remember that our guild has cleared SSC and is working on Kael’Theras in TK.
  • The engineering flying mount is a blast. I regret the fact that it is polluting Outland big time, but it is really cool.
  • There is a bunch of new daily quests, which is welcome because of the monotony of the ones we got used to.

    • Bonus: the Epic Engineering Flying Mount – with me riding it :-) . Update: Two disappointments I can report – we hunters can no longer double trap, and the awesome looking Amani bear is no longer tameable. Sooo sad.Epic Engineering Flying Mount
