Battling One's Inner Demons

I tell ya, just when I am starting to think I am making progress, this game of World of Warcraft is always ready to humble me! Last night I got to visit a boss for my first time ever, on any toon... Leotheras the Blind of Serpentshine Cavern. I have downed the first couple of bosses in that Raid a few times in different capacities, but was thrilled to see something new.

That is until the fight started. LOL. ZOMG, I was so pwned. A prot pally is not known for her DPS and that's what is needed for this fight. This boss at intervals spawns an "inner demon" monster on random players and the players have to down their own quickly or they are mind controlled and the raid must dispatch them. I couldn't seem to generate enough damage on any of my three tries to kill mine in the time allowed.

So now that I have decent tanking gear, and have built up a healing set, it appears I now need a 3rd set for occasions like this.... I have this image of Amineh wandering the countryside attached to a small cart like a pack mule with all the gear she is hauling around!

Seriously though, it was still mucho fun, the raid as a whole improved on each run, with both runs running out of steam at 13% and then 12%. Pretty good for a first boss try in any book. Now I have a new project to finish before I try it again.
