Nexus Prince Pew Pew

Where do I start for a first post, eh? Alright, let's start with my quest to get a non-terrible ranged weapon. This Cenarion Expedition Repeater I have is, well, garbage. Thusly, I've been doing dungeons to try and get something non-terrible.

So far, I've been running Blood Furnace for the Legion Blunderbuss from Broggok, trying to do Slave Pens (Hello! I have Improved Hunter's Mark and I know how to chain trap, take me damnit!) for the Quillfang Repeater, and now... well, there's Mana Tombs.

Mana Tombs are interesting. They suck when your tank is a Paladin who can't generate aggro for shit, you're having to wait 15 seconds before firing up your 3:2, and they refuse to give you Salvation. Yes, I like BoKings, it's great, more agility, more intellect, woo. If I can't manage aggro, I can't use the stats. Fuck.

So here I am blasting through the Mana Tombs. The first boss drops a crap melee weapon, gets disenchanted. Oh look, a 13 on the roll for the shard. That's cute. We push through, get to boss two. He drops a wicked pair of boots - Nethershade Boots. Both rogues in the party make puppy-dog eyes at me, and I sigh, passing them on. They'd be better than my boots, for sure, but... :|

Now we're standing in front of the Nexus Prince. And... yeah, we're dying. What the christ is so hard about this? Oh right, our healer. He's barely able to keep up with the tank, much less me getting slammed in the face by three adds. Our rogues? Yeah, about them... Well, one of them went and got his "epic" 70 Hunter. His BM Hunter.

...who is using Aimed Shot?

Ugh. I'm tempted to just make a freaking Fel Iron Musket and call it a day until I hit 65 for a Gunblade or 70 for a Valanos'.

WTB a non-terrible Mana Tombs/Slave Pits/Blood Furnace group, PST?

Oh. And why didn't anyone tell me that second boss could be mined? I need all the fucking Adamantite I can get for these Surestrike Goggles! Bastards!
