Karazhan Group With New Members
Tonight I ran Kruenor with an Apex of War Karazhan group. This was a new composition, with Muttonchops (protection Warrior) and Licserra (feral Druid) tanking…Ahonor (protection Paladin) was in reserve as well, to practice AoE tanking pulls and off-tanking as needed. Healing be Romtz (holy Priest), Restalaan (holy Paladin), and Grantaar (restoration Shaman). The DPS team included Kruenor (marksmanship Hunter), Flynti (beast mastery Hunter), Darkmaidenn (warlock), and Minnieme (mage).
Clearing towards Attumen, I found that I had to throttle DPS quite a bit, often times doing nothing. Muttonchops threat per second seems a bit low…I’m not if it’s because if his technique or because of the gear divide. In any event, the clear to Attumen was nearly flawless…only one death along the way. The Attumen pull was good, I misdirected to the Warrior to help ensure he kept Attumen to himself.
We dropped Attumen in 4 minutes, 11 seconds with no deaths. I spent some time auto-shotting. Attumen dropped the Bracers of the White Stag (disenchanted) and the Spectral Band of Innervation (greeded by Romtz for offset).
Clearing towards Moroes wasn’t bad, and it shouldn’t have been. The paladin tank had plenty of opportunities to throw down his Consecration and protect the AoE casters…against single targets he was doing about 200 TPS, which is pretty damn low. Nevertheless, we had a few mage deaths and a warlock death during AoE pulls.
The Moroes adds included Baroness Dorothea Millstipe, Lord Robin Daris, Lady Keira Berrybuck, and Lord Crispin Ference. The plan was to shackle Lord Robin Daris. Ahonor would tank Berrybuck and Crispin, while DPS burned down Millstipe with the beast master’s pet tanking. The plan worked perfectly. Moroes was dropped in 3 minutes, 23 seconds (with no deaths). He dropped Moroes’ Lucky Pocket Watch (won by Ahonor) and the Belt of Gale Force (disenchanted).
Right before the final pull to the staircase leading out of the ballroom, I saw an Avenger Shield go awry and the group of elites were pulled. I called for a Consecrate and heal the Paladin over Vent, and everyone made a nice recovery on the fight. Only the Shaman died.
The Guest Chambers pulls were a little sloppy, but we managed them without issue. The Maiden of Virtue dropped in 2 minutes, 18 seconds. Perfect fight, no deaths. The Maiden of Virtue dropped the Bands of Indwelling (disenchanted) and the Iron Gauntlets of the Maiden (greeded by Muttonchops).
We drew Big Bad Wolf for the Opera Event. Big Bad Wolf got a few lucky shots in, and we lost 2 healers and the mage in the opening minute of the fight. A call for dying at the front of the stage was made…so that’s what we did. We wiped in 2 minutes, which is pretty long…we just didn’t have the DPS to finish him off.
The second attempt was victorious in 4 minutes, 26 seconds…but it was tough. I died early, and Flynti died twice during the fight. Romtz was stellar, and was able to kite Big Bad Wolf three out of four times…Romtz died right at the very end when Wolf was at 10% health. Big Bad Wolf dropped Red Riding Hood’s Cloak (Grantaar) and Trial-Fire Trousers (Minnieme).
I died on the Broken Stair when I fat-fingered my Feign Death button…I was busy getting into my rotation, went to Feign Death, and then ended up moving as I cast it. In other words, I wasted it.
Clearing trash to Curator went pretty well. Curator dropped in 4 minutes, 57 seconds. No deaths. The Curator dropped Garona’s Signet Ring (Muttonchops) and the Gloves of the Fallen Defender (greeded by Romtz for off-set).
