On the back of our very first guest post by Pracey, I thought I would write about my brawling experience the other night. I had started the brawl guild a few weeks ago and managed to get stuck on rank 2 or something. My intention was to get it done before xpac hits and thanks to a video we were watching, Drew and I remembered to jump back in, so that is what we did the other night.
Can you even see my tiny little blood elf next to his huge chest? I snuck this picture whilst he was waiting to go in. We actually did really well. I got stuck on a couple of bosses, the worst one being the fire guy. Drew also got stuck on this one for a few attempts. Stupidly RNG with the ball spawns but you just need to get the right combination and voila death to the infidel!
I cannot suggest enough, if you attempt to do the Brawler’s Guilde check out Wowhead’s guide on it. It is brilliant and I have used it every season. You can find it here. It lists everything neatly and easily with the relevant information easy to find. I use it between fights to know what is coming up next. Yup, you can flick between it and the game that quickly. Definitely use it.
I was chatting to Ben and telling him it was a great way to improve on your character as you have to be able to move, do burst damage and be aware within 2 minutes and was a bit of fun. He joined us later and was smashing the first few bosses before 30 seconds had even passed. This is him in action. I do love the spectator option. I would love something like that for raiding 😀
The three of us were just cheering each other on and having a laugh. I managed to get to the last boss, which I found difficult as I have only done Hellfire Citadel once (I think) and barely remember the content. All the attacks are based on bosses from that raid. I got it down after a few attempts learning what things needed to be focused on at each point – I think maybe 3 in total? It really helps that we out gear the brawls quite significantly now.
I am King of the guild now! Why not Queen? I have no idea…but I will take it! We came back in the next night to complete the rest of Drew’s bosses and whilst he was doing that I was doing random fights for the achievement (and shirts). I have so many damn shirts now! I have a few extra from that picture as I did even more than the anticipated 10 for the achievement. I can’t wait for the next Trial of Style to rock around!
I know I am missing the entire joke behind this achievement I am Thralls complete lack of surprise and even wowhead has no insight…I am confused.
I went and grabbed my mount and pet, plus the heirloom. I actually quite like the basilisk movement, but will need to actually ride it more and see if I could handle it long term.
It sort of has this S-motion with it’s body and tail when it walks. Maybe it will be motion sickness inducing actually…lol. Honestly for not much effort you could get another mount and pet if you are a collector. It took us basically a couple of hours on 2 nights to get to the last boss and I would say there are 3-4 that might take you more than 2-3 of attempts at most.
I still need one more achievement which requires 2 more rumbles, so will try and get them over this coming weekend but it is highly dependant on other people who are in the queue and if they pay attention to what needs to occur. (The “Rumbles” are an event which every person in the queue – at the time of purchasing the token – get entered into and you have to collectively do different things). Likely would be easier with a group of friends on discord so you can warn/coordinate.
