First I got raped by Shannox. When I had my voidwalker out one of his pets would place some kind of trap on me that disabled me from doing anything whatsoever. Had to watch myself get killed in order to escape. I figured that only happens when you're not the tank, so I went in without voidwalker... Then my face got eaten off.
Ran out, put it on 10m normal, and finally I was able to kill Shannox. Then I went out again and put it back to 25m normal, tried Baleroc. He goes down so slow. His adds swarm on me while my voidwalker is on Baleroc, and they do a shitload of damage so I can't ignore them. And when Cataclysm / Howl of Terror is on cooldown, that becomes a major problem as I have to single target dps them, disabling me from attacking Baleroc in the process. I tried to reset him to get out, but he wouldn't reset and I just soulstoned myself and decided to let them kill me.
After that I ran out and quit. All in all this has been much, much more trouble than I expected, and I have to ask: Is this purely a gear problem? Because I have ilvl 599 / 600 right now, and I wonder if ilvl 615-640 is gonna make much difference.
