Episode 2.1: Slave Pens
Finally Project Lore takes on a Heroic - The Slave Pens in the Coilfang Reservoir. In this one, the guys are met by a surprise guest boss, The Frost Lord Ahune. Will they toast marshmallows on Ahune's scortched icicle body or will the Frost Lord deal them the icy hand of wipe? Who knows? You will. Watch this.

Alliance? ... bah. "FOR THE HORDE!"
Is this serious? Do you guys just delete the negative comments?
I think you missed an instance. The Blood Furnace would usually come before the Slave Pens.

hehe, i love these episode!
and so you know Alex said from the easiest heroic to the hardest heroic, so they havent really been skipping any instance because else they have skipped heroic ramparts as well.
Lord Ahune is pretty easy once you figure him out. Hunters shine here, as do rogues. Mage/lock/spriest for the elite spawn.
Elementals don't need tank, a rogue can bring them down quickly enough, and a hunter can do one.
The thing that wipes groups here is the spikes. This is also what causes healers to go OOM. Shammy healer with spriest is king in here, for loads of mana regen and laser healing ;)
As for CC, there's only a few places you need it. With a decent tank (any tanking class, a bit harder for warriors, but doable. dps needs to watch aggro more carefully tho) 3 mobs is not too hard to tank. Some groups later in the instance heals, so either CC or hard nuke.
As a tankadin, the mages I'm running with cries for not being allowed to sheep until late in the instance ;)
Hi is goggins the guy of the film Evolution and films like that which have, i duno what is name is but, in evolution the guy at the start who gets car blown up by the meteor.
hey guys, just got through 2.1 and again wanted to say 'well done'. You've got a good looking show and the whole thing is really nicely produced. There are a couple of things I thought could be better though.
Firstly, I thought were you rushed through the trash mobs was odd. As this is a guide I would have appreciated more info on how to handle the groups of mixed mobs - which ones to cc and kill first, that sort of thing. You could talk about which pulls are optional, which are tricky, which involve pats, that sort of thing. Just fast-forwarding through all this kinda makes watching pointless. If your show is going to be worth watching shouldn't it be teaching viewers how to beat the instance, not just saying 'there's a load of mobs to fight and they're really boring'?
Secondly, why spend so much time on Frost Lord Ahune at all? He was a seasonal boss and a novelty to fight and to see. I would rather you fast-forwarded through this fight, than all the other smaller ones. Nice to see, but as I'm probably never going to fight him, who really cares how it went?
I don't want to be totally negative or for you to think I'm just here to flame you! I think you've got a great site, I appreciate your material (I got the Grid addon on your recommendation!), and think you've all got good onscreen chemistry. Looking forward to seeing more.
Nice job. You guys should try Hogger or Gamon next.
You could raise the volume when talking and lover it when you just play around with cool sound effects for the show.
Ahune is basically impossible without a pally tank.
Hey nice idea for a show. Couldn't enjoy it thought cause the video was so distorted and horrible. Sound was cutting out alot and getting delayed and stuff like that :(
I stand corrected sirs. thank you! heroic yay. very good. sorry for my lateness I just found out this went live!

omg Jerry Trainor, u are freakin hilarious, iCarly is the best show on Nick and u make the show that much better. It's awesome that u play wow. What else r u in besides iCarly, Drake and Josh, and project lore?
crow control is NOT a must here... you guys suck. you just need a tank who can hold aggro, dps who know how not to pull aggro, and a healer who can... wait for it.... heal....
this instance is beyond easy...
alliance = teh suck
the tank really sucks tbh.
just look at the first pull he stands with a mob behind him, which basicly means he can't avoid hits from him.
you learn that in like DM
3:49 = "Boss Strat"
lol
if u do another dungeon on norm u r all PANSIES. most the lvl 70 heroic dungeons r actually pretty easy. the only heroics i can say r truly deficult and u prolly wont b able 2 do r MGT and Shattered Halls. but as long as u have solid group(which it seems like u guys r almost overgeared 4 heroics) u should b fine.
Luv' ur work. good 2 see other people at work.
What strikes me the most is the fun you guys have doing this. I've seen lots of people cursing and badmouthing on teammembers if things go wrong and it's the one part of the game i can do without.
Keep up the good work and enjoy :)
Rofl...Goggins macking on a sandwich in the beginning
The Ahune fight is very fun. I found that the best way to handle the non-elite elementals is to have a well geared warlock in the group who can just cast Seed of Corruption on the Elite Elemental repeatedly. We where able to down this boss just before he came out of his second phase 2 in heroic mode. Seed of Corruption is rather mana intensive so have a health stone ready so you can life tap to regain some much needed mana.
They only have things wrapped around the cans because they would be "advitising" the make of beer cuz loads of people watch this..
and btw, the video is entertaining and very funny
Guys, I made this on heroic and this is so easy, dont need cc trash mobs if you have a good healer like me! xD
Very nice video, I just want to know the name of the add-on they're using which shows the stats like this: +3 intellect (0.09% spell crit ecc. ecc.). I hope you understood what I meant.
Wow, thats the guy from iCarly, i knew i knew him from somewhere!
