Heroic MurMur

I know this doesn’t look like it has anything to do with MurMur but as I started my session I did my dailies of course and I happen to run across this little house as I was flying to Blade’s Edge from Nagrand. I never noticed it before, and I don’t know if it has any purpose. It is probably just one of those scene setters Blizzard likes to give us. Kind of neat I think. It was nestled in the hills not sure how this lady and those kids got up there.
I had been trying all the while to get in an SL run. As it so happens the Heroic Daily, and regular Daily were both SL so I figured I was bound to get in one eventually. I tried to get in a group early just before and while Inian was getting on that needed DPS. They would just not listen to me that I was fully capable of DPSing. Eventually I noticed a group with a warlock and 2 warriors and said how about joining together so Inian and I joined them. They were all very capable people, and we totally lucked out I think. The warlock had to go after the first boss and replaced him self with a equally well skilled hunter. We had a few rough spots in the instance, its definitely not an easy one. Blizzard has too much variance in the level of difficulty in Heroics I think.
Afer the second boss we had no problems though until we got to MurMur. He is completely different how you fight him and it basically requires all 5 of you to work very well together or you loose. None of us had prior Heroic MurMur experience I don’t think and we were figuring it out as we go. No one knew he was different so the first time we wiped badly. We continued to refine, I think it took us 5 or 6 tries before we won, but our final and successful attempt was flawless! He is actually pretty easy still as long as everyone works together and once you know what the hell your suppose to do
He dropped the Shockwave Truncheon which when compared to my Gavel of Pure Light is debatable which is better. I went ahead and rolled need on that puppy. I show its only a 5% drop, looks awesome, and has more stamina which my healing gear lacks. I’d loose to 2mana/5 but I’ll have tons more of that when I get my Whitemend Hood made. I just have to farm some more water so I can put healing on the Shockwave. I don’t recall ever seeing anyone with it, maybe because no one wants to do heroic Shadow Labs. Oh and on the other plus side Inian and I completed that Naru quest we had! They lowered the gold reward on it though for some reason the bastards!
Of course I finally got exalted in all that, max exalted actually! I was able to get my Gavel of Unearthed Secret which is totally awesome to finally have. I took it out and beat up some fire elementals real quick so Inian could make me another Primal. I never had a chance to farm the other 4 I needed. Now I just need to farm 3 more woot!
All in all a very productive night, getting my last Shattar exalted was awesome, as well as the new nifty looking healing mace
