Kara Group 2 - Sunday 1-18-08

jerome736 · Post by **jerome736** » January 18th, 2008, 9:46 am

I didn't see any forum notice for this yet, but from talking to Andy it seems like we'll be going, business as usual, same time, same group. What major bosses are we planning on trying to get in (and what are considered expendable ones?).

Personally, I'm guessing Attumen, Maiden and Illhoof ought to be considered expendable. If anyone needs loot (which I do actually), we could always form a Late Night Crew later. Also, I think we should save Prince for last. He's a wildcard which could potentially soak up a lot of our time.

For consideration:
Moroes, Opera, Nightbane, Curator, Shade, Netherspite, Chess, Prince. Then Illhoof, Maiden and Prince if time permits.

I personally like Maiden because its a chance at a mace drop without all that much extra work

, but I don't need it that badly.

maiden is one of those fights that you can grab 8 or 9 people and do in 15 minutes any time though, so if its not done on the main night you can throw something together monday

I'd suggest putting nightbane in the "2nd round" category. Since he's not linked to any trash, etc. He can be done later / late night / monday in a short amount of time, just like maiden, etc

And I'd disagree with saving prince for last. I'd make him top priority - work on killing him as soon as you can (i.e. as soon as all blocker/trash linked bosses are down)

He drops 3 badges and 3 pieces of the best loot, imo

Eh. While I very much want that Blade and Helm (and badges), I disagree with you disagreeing with me

And if we do it in logical trash order, aside from Nightbane, Prince would end up last anyways. And by last I mean before we do the 'optional' stuff, as in Attumen, Maiden, Illhoof and Nightbane. Unless we want to risk Netherspite respawns, about the only thing we could skip to get to Prince faster is the actual Chess Event.

Sorry for not starting a new post sooner, RL ftl.RosterMT: AkumaOT: AggrocityPally: MaggotmilkPally: WeedeaterPally: AthhaMage: KurumiSpriest: ZuklenDrood: Vegimity (sp?)Mage: DrumbleWarlock: EmilieYou may have noticed, I am not on the roster for this Sunday. I will not be able to be there, again RL ftl. Mason will be filling in for me on his mage.Plan: 1. Start with Moroes as usual, please try and chain pull that first room if you can to save time. If the healers have mana, go for it.2. Opera: After that dancing room is cleared enough, the pats at the top of the stairs can be chain pulled, np. Just go into opera, don't try and have someone find out what it is and get naked.3. Everyone run out to the back door together to minimize horde conflict on the way to Curator.4. Those mana feeder pulls will take the most time. Try and keep the pulls coming the best you can, since mana will come back fast enough I think with the loose mana effect after that big one dies.5. When you get to Curator, Aggro will be bolt soaking. Have one of the better geared range pull off on the last flare.6. After Curator, remember to skip those 2 big arcane guards by pulling the pat first. Once you get down the ramp, you should be able to pull a big arcane guy, and then a small mana feeder pack, while waiting for another big arcane dude.7. Those messy pulls before Shade could get a little messy with only 1 shackle, but just try your best to keep burning through those fast. It is easy to lose a lot of time here.8. On Shade, do your best to not die. If you can keep dps high enough, you won't have to get sheeped at all. 9. Clear to Chess as usual. When you get to the etherals, or whatever, those can easily be chain/2 pulled. That should save some time there too.10. By this point, you shouldn't have to repair yet, so everyone just shoot into chess, and grab a piece. 11. Remember the pulls after Chess can't be taunted. Watch your threat. 12. Prince will be easy, don't worry about it.At this point, depending on time, you guys can decide what optional bosses you want to shoot for. It doesn't matter to me, whatever you folks need loots from or whatever.In regards to the chain pulls, I think you could do it a couple of ways, depending on the mobs.1. Have Akuma pull a target, once it gets about 50%, Aggro can pull the next; and just switch back and forth until the room is clear. 2. Akuma can just pull one as soon as the last dies.3. Akuma can pull just before the last target dies.Its up to you guys, whatever you think would work best, depending on the mobs, and how many pulls you have.Invites at 7:30pm server, Pull ASAPIf Dustin is a little late, you should still be able to pull all the way to Moroes by the time he gets there.I know I know this is long... sorry....Please PLEASE Read these fights before you show up at least twice, if you have not done them many times before. There will not be much explanation before the bosses. We are shooting for a full clear in one night, so there is no room for dead weight. Also, DO NOT ROLL UNLESS YOU ACTUALLY NEED THE LOOT! this will make looting faster, and hassle free. Again, sorry I can't be there. Family comes first. I don't think you guys will have any problems, and I look forward to hearing about the epic run that will happen Sunday night.Andy

I expect to be on the same time I usually am, like 7:50pm-ish server time. Though in case there's a queue or something like crappy weather makes it take longer to get home, I parked Emilie right at the instance portal. Cyas there.

We did great tonight. Everything except Nightbane was downed and out of those, everything except Shade were one shots. We got very luck with Prince infernals.

Hey, great to hear that you got that many bosses down. Sorry again that I wasn't there. Next Sunday though... I will be back in action for Kara.

Please don't look into how I killed myself died.

People, don't forget we are going back at 8pm tonight (Monday) to get Nightbane. Andy if you could make it that would be great as it seems we would be down 2 or 3 DPS tonight.

Benvolo · Post by **Benvolo** » January 21st, 2008, 7:15 pm

Yep, I should be on for Nightbane if needed.

jerome736 · Post by **jerome736** » January 21st, 2008, 11:57 pm

Good job group 2. Nightbane down. It was a little touch and go at the end, but another full clear for us!

Are we running sundays instead of thur?

This is correct, our regular Thursday raid night has been converted into a Guild 25-man night.
