I am slowly noodling my way through the Blood of the Brood signature quest with Tanzi and last night I decided it would be fun to solo through Halls of Fate mentored to lvl 75. Well it was fun, but was also rather slow… I had soloed this zone ages ago with Suzita (at lvl 80) and was huge fun and rather easy (felt very good to solo Sothis!) Slightly different story with Tanzi though – I guess the lack of AA and properly upgraded spells will account for this though. I also must have had a brain freeze as I realised near the end that there is a guild group running through this zone tonight 
Tanzi did deal with most of the zone absolutely fine though. I was really enjoying going through there. I noticed a little mosaic on the floor (at the bottom of the spiral stairs) which I had never really noticed before and thought was rather nice:
I had to leave Ishtaran, the stun and huge damage were too much. I went onto the drake room and this was the funnest part of the zone:
I think the nicest thing was they all died at pretty much the same time 
Luckily, at this point Dimzad had got home and agreed to log in Sullivan, his defiler, to help me finish the zone. So much easier! I was back to room pulling and silly tanking behaviour 
I got my revenge on Ishtaran, got my updates from the goo, centurions and Sothis (and luckily, it turned out Dimzad also needed these updates too – so we’ll go on and do Palace of the Awakened together ) and finished the zone.
I have so many fun memories of this zone though. Especially with Sothis. I remember we used to drag him up to the drake room to kill him so we had more time before the sentinel droags arrived, trying to co-ordinate who threw the flaming droag potions at them. I think I used to pull him for the tank on occasion too with not-exactly-a-miracle shot which was a nice mix of feeling useful and being in danger 
I’m looking forward to the HoF guild group tonight… if I can make it. In fact Matt set it up after a convo with me, shame I cant get to the Hoo’luk steps before HoF done beforehand though.
Even so this will be the first time I would have grouped with my Trouby, Varleyne, as a fully operational member of a group in a zone in her level range.
Actually feel a little nervous about it, as many of my caster focused group songs are not experts or greater and that I lack the experience of buffing a group in anger. At least her gear isnt so bad, although it is all crafted/broker sourced.
Should be fun regardless.
don’t be nervous – you’ll be just fine
it’s the nice thing about guild groups – we’re more about the fun rather than judging each other or min/maxing our way through.
just have fun
and I’m sure it can be run again when you do get to that stage with Hoo’luk.
