Trial of the Crusader
by Laneer on Aug.28, 2009, under Achievements, Questing, Raid
I got on this evening with the explicit intention to do all my dailies and finally finish out the exodar. But like many intentions they didn’t turn out exactly as planed
In the middle of my second or third daily I got a tell from one of the Texas Mercenaries, a guild I raid with everyone once in a while wondering if I wanted to do Trial of the Crusader. I missed the guild attempt on this and decided absolutely!
The first boss is crazy, you have to fight a whole bunch of big northrend beasts in a row with no break each with their own strategy.
The final guy was one of those big yeti like from the Northrend preview video
He was easy compared to the big Worms. We managed to get it down in 5 or 6 wipes I think. Since you have to do it all at once it is a little crazy to start over, but good practice
The second boss was a lot easier but we still wiped a couple of times getting down how to control the misstresses that pop out. They kept eating the casters, cause they melee for 10k+. After we figured out that it was cake and he went down. The best part about this one was what he dropped, some pants perfect for me! The Leggings of the Demonic Messenger which scream Disc Priest
I was surprised no one rolled against me but they all raid 25 man stuff it was probably not useful. It made me even more glad I put off my plans
The last boss we tried was the 3rd and most annoying boss. It was sort of like the Priestess fight in Magisters Terrace. I always hated that fight and now it is bigger and badder than ever! We had one good attempt where we got one of the healers down but then it fell apart after that. I think everyone was just tired.
I did go just before bed and complete one more daily to finish out my exodar rep though, yay! Now all that stands between my upgraded squire is some badges
I had a good time though and was very glad for the opportunity to have tried out that raid.
