Violet Hold
by Laneer on Oct.04, 2008, under Beta
Got on to do a bit of testing, wanted to do the Violet Hold. i hadn’t done it yet. I was in the first aid office in Dalaran playing with Penance and proced Divine Aegis. I was admiring the bubble effect
It really is quite sweet
Got a group, convienently with the paladin I grouped with the other day. While we were waiting for everyone to gather I saw a Tauren Deathknight. Very distrubing, it just doesn’t look right
So without knowing anything got into Violet hold and found it was just one big room. I don’t know the whole story but it is some sort of Prison. You end up fighting a random set of 2 of 8 bosses, then the last one is a dragon. This instance works exactly like BM. Only it seems a little faster, is super easy and is litterally in the middle of Dalaran.
I saw some good tanking items drops while we were in there and of course the only cloth I saw was for DPS it had +hit on it
Some DPS plate dropped as well. Most of the fights on our first run were uneventful. We didn’t even realize we were fighting a boss the first time!
This is the end boss, and it died so fast the first time around it never had a chance to do anything. Thankfully I got to see what she could do when we went around the second time with only 4 of us. This is suppose to be a level 74-77 ish dungeon I guess. You need to be 76 to get the quests involved with it. So far I’ve not found any of the reulgar instances challeneging. I’m assuming that the heroics are though. Thus so far I have not see much worth getting at least for me out of these dungeons either
The second roud was fun though with only 4 of us it was a minor challege
The instance is super short, litterally you run this one in 20 minutes. I like some of these fast instances. Will let me be able to get on and have some fun for a short while, I don’t have to dedicate a lot of hours to run something.
