Moving Up with Dread Drake

Two days ago I rolled a Dread Drake.  Here he is now.

Work in progress

Now I've gotten him through 160, and inscribed to 83.  Also he's wearing Flame Guard 4 crests to pump up his hitpoints and reduce the damage a bit.  His skill still needs work, and he needs a better talent.  But those are coming.

I started using him yesterday for my arena team.  I subbed out Death Knight, who was nice in that he protects against stunning -- if he procs.  But protecting against an enemy Dread Drake once you get all the way across the arena and proc is not very powerful, since of course the enemy DD autoprocs first, slowing you, and then typically the enemy Aries procs first, and things snowball.

I'd been solidly in the 80 HB/hour level for a while, seeing 90 rarely but always been booted out immediately.  Now I am in the 90 HB/hour zone, and have stayed in for most of a day.

Broke 1000

Indeed, I just peaked into the 100 HB/hour range, which I have never done before.  I doubt I can stay that high, but I think I'll be able to hang in the 90 range now.

One other thing: I've been stuck on Insane 3/9 for a few days.  With DD the neophyte supertank in my lineup, I've finally beat it.

I needed a tank for all those arrows

Yay Dread Drake!
