Cairessa had her first Kara run with her new guild last night. It was a totally different experience than what I’m used to, but it was also very cool to see things done differently. Each boss fight was a little different than what I’ve been used to, but just as successful. We hit 7 bosses in 4 hours.
Group makeup: We ran with only 2 healers, and only one was a priest. The other was a resto shammy. Both were great.
Attumen…well ok that one wasn’t different, I mean how many ways can one kill this guy?
Moroes: We had ONE shackle. This meant three adds go down before Moroes. I trapped the holy pally at the far left back corner of the room (near the main table), the other hunter trapped the MS Warrior at the far right, we burned down the spriest, then both traps, then Moroes. We lost the priest once, but luckily for us we had a Laser Chicken of Doom to toss him a battle rez.
Opera: Big Bad Wolf. Not much different here, except I now now as a hunter I can get out of the LRRH debuff by feigning death, as long as it isn’t resisted. It didn’t happen to me though. Basically we did the same as I’m used to. Ranged DPS stage right, tank and BBW stage left, kill kill kill. He did not drop my gun. Bad Wolf, no cookie. Also on the usher pulls going into the hall, hunters were asked to turn growl on, keeping their threat above the squishies should a tank get iceblocked. I had to double check to make sure my ears weren’t failing me when they said Growl On…lol
Maiden with no pally and two healers. this is the boss I’m used to skipping if we don’t have a pally in the group. But these guys pulled it off, and she, like every boss that night dropped caster gear, or plate it was a theme…lol!
Curator: Not much different here either except for positioning, the big news with his death was my hunter getting her T4 gloves!! Woot!
Shade of Aran: This guy talks more than any NPC I have ever seen. I swear, “I want this nightmare to be over” Well news flash, we do too so just DIE! Pretty much the same plan here as I’m used to, except instead of running out to the nearest wall for the arcane explosions, we all ran to the door so the healers could top everyone off.
Nightbane: I don’t know what we did different on this guy, because I think I’ve only had one attempt on him before this. Basically stayed to one side of the terrace, or the other so we had room to move away from charred earth. Toss slowing traps as he takes off in the air and burn down the skellies. Happy to say he died on our second attempt.
Of course you know if I was there I had to have a mishap right? I sent Whispurr after a mob in the pulls right before Moroes, just as that mob died. I did it with just the right timing that he went to the next nearest mob and pulled another group. Seriously wanted to crawl under the stairs at that point. But noone killed me for it, and noone died thank God.
It was a fun run, everyone was great. Which is very much what I’m used to on my priest. No differences there:)
So What do you get when you take one protection pally, add 4 hunters and two mages, and mix in three healers? You get a Badgezan run! Not enough were on for Gruul last night, so they decided to go to Kara. I got a whisper from the tank asking if I wanted to take my hunter, so I said…well why not! She wasn’t doing anything else, and was fully stocked up on everything she needed, might as well. So off we went.
