So DI people, I'm starting up a new kara a couple of weeks from now hopefully. I think I've got tanks sorted, and a token ret pally to put out some sub par dps (<3) but I need to fill it out a bunch. Theres a thread in the CTS dojo section of the PAA forums, so post there if you're interested in going, I'd like to have a semi-static group for the most part instead of finding 5 random mouthbreathers every week to distribute phat epix to.
Depending on if I get institutionalized this weekend, I should have my Shaman ready to go in 'a couple of weeks'
I know it can be hard to slot in Shaman healers for Kara runs since you want Shackles and Cleanses but pshhhh
Shackles are overrated. Real Men tank Moroes + his adds, and the DPS picks them off. And chain heal is badass for that. And Maiden. And Curator. And Grounding Totem > Maiden.
edit: ZA? If your tanks are not fast enough, you will get eaten by a Bear. One of the better ways to die, if you ask me.

This space eventually to be filled with excitement

let me heal your mans
I know that was you god damn it!
And yeah, it won't start next week since I'll be home for spring break, or the week after that because the prot pally at least will still have shitty gear after being on his spring break, so you've got about 3 weeks to work stuff out, and I have a feeling that some more healers will probably be necessary.

I think that ended up breaking Leviticus (the guild that booted me). Since I was the guy that made up their strategies, and I didn't bother explaining out the ones that didn't involve the warrior BS strat.
I can only imagine now them wiping on Nefarian after listening to the not-raid-leader poorly explain the fight for 45 minutes.

I can't tell whether you hate it since I mention it, or because you hate Berkeley.
Because Berkeley is pretty cool.

That patch planted the seeds of the Paladin AoE tank for us. We used the warrior cheese strat but switched over to Paladins consecrating with RF on and holding them long enough for AoE to burn them down. It worked pretty well.
Yay, so we cleared Hyjal in one night so we will have Thursday, Sun & Mon in BT this week... We've downed up to Bloodboil but have yet to attempt anything beyond that. Any tips (past the basic mechanics of the fights) for RoS & Mother?
Mother: Don't make SR gear until before the raid you're going to attack her. (Actually, maybe before the RoS raid)(Not right before, you don't want to waste time, but, like an hour before). If you make it and get no shows, that's a good way to call the raid at her.
It's an idiot and SR check. If your MT is a tauren have him drink a Noggenfrogger or Deviate Delight so he can actually share the Saber Lash damage
RoS: Just have to repeat and learn the fight. P2 Burn. P3 Burn Harder. It's a simple fight if broken down into phases, so, if you get to P3, make sure you're ready to get that kill then, since it's very possible.

Tip: Omen means nothing in RoS phase 3. Do not trust its lies!
Shahraz is silly easy once people l2run. Vent helps. We started with the three camps strat but now we do one and it works fine for 99% of the FA's.

hum well 3 weeks let's see
I did 38-43 last night, but I had some rested going into that, I wager I'll only do 2.5 levels each day until I hit 50 on the weekend
60-70 in Outland is a week and a half tops, so
yeah assuming I don't get institutionalized I can definitely be ready for Kara in about 3 weeks so let's hope I can outsmart the doctors

One camp is better, just have to have the raid ready to move
Does your omen just display the wrong aggro?
FD is terrifying now. I alomst make sure I wait 2 feigns before I believe I dropped aggro, if not someone is out to get me (That someone being the monster we're killing (And then the group/raid leader))
It's been dropped twice that I've noticed, so, well, I'll bite.
?
IT'S COMPLICATED
EDIT 2: I think that anyone who cared to read this already read it so I'm going to edit it out in the interest of resuscitating this thread and quelling my shame
They're both kind of douchebags like that, and having either the shaman or tidewalker being able to basically one shot a tank thats got less than 20k HP really only amplifies it. Good things bears are awesome though, m i rite?
RoS is fairly easy. If you have enough DPS you should be able to burn P1 with only needing 1 person to tank an enrage (usually Rogues evasion tank it), P2 is simple as long as you have 2 people who aren't retarded about interrupting Spirit Shock, and P3 you just wait the initial 10secs for Seethe to wear off then start DPS ... don't burn full-bore until he gets to like 50% tho as he takes more dmg the longer you hold out against him in P3.
Mother can be easy or extremely frustrating. If you have people who are retarded about running in opposite directions, you will wipe a lot. Only good thing is you can leash her very easily. Hopefully you have enough Hearts to give everyone at least 300 buffed SR.

oh ho ho
ps fodder I could heal for you if the regular kara run I do doesn't need me, providing it's on a friday night
which I realize doesn't help you much, no
I know it can be hard to slot in Shaman healers for Kara runs since you want Shackles and Cleanses but pshhhh
let me heal your mans
you know when it made warriors unable to AoE tank
that BWL after that patch was so bad
NO IT'S NOT. >_<
EDIT::
I'll be able to do Kara on weekends now, which means I can get on the ZA runs that are usually being done at the same time. Sweet!
I've never been in there though, what can I expect to die from immeadiately?
(I love the troll instances so much, I'm really looking forward to this)

I know that was you god damn it!

Pillow forts don't need zip codes. Their fluffyness can exist anywhere.
...94720 - cleanse with fire! (Seriously, it needs to be.)
P.S.: ZA isn't bad if you have the right group with good gear. I wouldn't worry about timed loots unless you're going in with an experienced group.
Getting eaten by bears sucks.
Because Berkeley is pretty cool.
It's all so clear now.
This. Right here.

Who's your avatar? I have an image of him biting someone, or yelping (That's right, yelping) from being bitten
And if he keeps one alive for more than a minute, a random person in the vicinity dies.
Saw the first episode, but it felt too omg-cutesy for me.
Edit: Oh shit, I saw this for 30 seconds. Do they solve crimes?
thats a really cool plot element
You're a bad man.
OH HEY LET'S JUST KEEP A TANK UP IN THE AIR FOR FIFTEEN SECONDS
OH YOU DIDN'T LIKE THAT HUH HOWSABOUT A HEALER
OH HAI U GUYZ R GOIN PRETY GUD HEY IM AT 13% WITH NO DEATHS OH OOPS LOOK I WATERY GRAVED FIVE HEALERS

you can't get watery graved at 13%.
