Karazhan revisited

*giggles* Guess who has more than + 1k healing? In fact, just a little under 1,200. Now... Just the problem of Paladins lacking party heals... *sulk*

Well Barz used to have 1400

*Comforts Barz* I already miss you. In fact, it's been really hard to get my mind off of that, and actually RP. I'm having to treat it as Lyranne finally realising he's gone, and preparing to face her own demons by well, not really talking to anyone. Very unhealthy. The rate she's going, I'll feel too tempted to take her to Kara.

Pseudo IC: Well, as you all know, I have ventured forth into the Tower, and it was... Interesting. I have ben back since as there is much investigative work that needs to be done. To be perfectly honest, though dangerous, Chabat would find the Library of particular interest ( It's undeniably big, and words can't quite describe the sheer volume of tomes ). The place still hold a certain... Majesty, even though it is showing signs of age - of particular note are the aptly named 'Broken Stairs'. Also, those I have travelled with, have now started to talk about venturing forth into Zul'Aman! Of course I'm interested, but would much rather visit with further representatives of the Heritage than my solitary appearance.

OOC: Yep, I've been several times, as you all know, and found it to be a most enjoyable place. Shockingly quick too, and much safer than many a heroic. I mention the ZA talks, because The GWT are thinking of going, and at least one person suggested an RP run. For the most part, I think our level 70's could probably start doing some instances together, so that we have a better understanding of what pace we're all comfortable with, if we decide to go. My hope would be, that If I do go to ZA, as I'll be saved, I could create a raid group, and we could RP in the place. Again, ideally, I'd love to do the same with Kara, and get Chabat summoned down there, just so she can see the place ( RP-wise, I reckon Ry would also love it immensly ). Naturally, I'm not aiming to do raids all the time, and if I do, I'd much rather attempt some RP at the same time. I hinted on the GWT forums that we lack a tank/s, though one suspects that we may need more at any rate. I'm fairly confident, as long as we don't expect it to be a cake-walk, that most of our level 70's would be okay for the first half. Again, it's the lack of a tank that limits us. For the most part, I see it as just something to try, and have some fun with.

Whether this is the common template or not, The raiding group I go with consists of:
Two tanks. A main tank ( obviously ) and a tank for adds, or else they generally swap over for different bosses/mobs.
Three healers, with at least one preferrably a priest/shaman for multiple-target heals.
And five dps. I've not raided with a rogue, oddly, but I imagine they're fine.
Alas, I know we don't even have one tank in our ranks, and I'm unsure how many healers, but I think we're in a situation whereby we can have a raid consist of around six/seven Heritage members, which is nice. Whether the other two Emissaries feel how I do, and wish to bring whichever alt is most useful/has most to gain, is not known, but I have experienced the place with both Lyranne and Whrae, and for the most part, the latter had it easier ( though curse Blizz for the solitary Res every 20 mins PLUS requiring a reagent. Sure, it's a wipe saver, but one can't help but feel that it's a costly ability ).
Thinking about it, in regards to gear level, it might be best if they bring those who don't have the best gear ( and I'm sure Nén would prefer to keep taking her Moonkin to the GWT raid ) if only so that aggro isn't too difficult to keep under control. Although if she wanted to try, I'd love to see a moonkin tank Kara *giggle*. For my part, I may well be screwed, as both my healers are fairly decently geared now, which tends to cost with threat. O.o

Apologies if others are less enthusiastic, but I like spending company with Guild members, and of late, I've interacted with so few, and the thought of even a handful RPing together away from the meeting is something I look forward to.

You know I'm jealous of you going there. I'd love to go with the heritage.

Well, truth be told, although those I go with are a nice bunch, I don't spend any time RPing with them. Not by choice, but rather I'm not as such part of their circle. So the chance of a Heritage venture into Karazhan seems like immense fun.

Also, I'd managed to get myself Kara attuned a while back, so I have the key, meaning really, we can go whenever.

Great news! One: Any of you are free to sign up to the GWT forums raid, and two: Several of them are willing to offer their help with our own raid, should we get it going ahead. I've linked them here, so it might be logical to have a page dedicated to signup on our site. Including two tanks, and at least one other healer.

Here is the link to their signup: http://www.greywolf.webfire.org.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1012.30. My guess is that we may easily find enough people for two runs over both tribes, which would be nice.

Apologies for any typo's/grammatical errors. For some strange reason my typing has become quite atrocious. A bit like that word, in that film, with that woman.

Firstly, having spoken to a fair few GWT members, they have at least two people willing to tank for us. Those being Garviel and Pin. They also have a few dps ( I think we need at least one from outside the guild for now ) so that only leaves the other two healers.

So the list as I currently see it:

Garv - Warrior: Tank/off-tank.
Pin - Warrior: Tank/off-tank.
Romel - Warrior: Tank/off-tank
Ryleen - Mage: DPS.
Zanick - Rogue: DPS.
Snicka - Rogue: DPS.
Deras - Druid: DPS. Has an enhance shaman as well, which gives us additional scope.
Nénya - Warlock: DPS. Also has two druids - feral and balance, and a hunter.
Rezip - Warrior: DPS?* I believe Rezip's Paladin is holy, but the thought of going to Kara with more than one Holy Paladin is pretty scary. The thought of three is terrifying.
Gando - Shaman: DPS?* Unsure if he prefers, or is even interested, in raiding.
Lyranne - Paladin: Healer. naturally, I may come with Whrae, depending on if one is saved to the raid, or else he's better suited.
Isana - Paladin: Healer ( who wishes to be able to collect to tank gear ).

The way I see it, DPS is clearly covered, so all we really need to do is find a healer.

My thinking is that it may be best to post a notice asking for people to just put their name down, and give a date we can attend, even if just for a trial run ( make sure we know who are able to get there and so forth ). Whether said notice is placed here, and/or at the GWT forums, and/or the we are legion forums is entirely up to whoever is going to take charge ( maybe someone could nudge Gando into visiting these pages, if he wants to come along, that is ). I have the key with both Whrae and Lyranne, so getting in is no trouble.

Hope it goes well in a RP-kind of way though, RP-instance going often turns out bad.

It should be fine provided we take it slowly. And the chances of any of us getting mad are slim - I tend to get a giggling fit when stuff goes really wrong, provided I'm with people who are also in a good mood ( part of why I dislike PuGs - it's just not as funny when you wipe horribly ).

Also *hugs Barz* Gee, it's been a while!

Well, yesterdays run was the best I've seen, and all three healers hail from this very Tribe! This is great, as it mean we have the skill to keep a raid going, with no wipes. It was the best runs I've had ( save me dying a few times through bad timing on my part ), and I'm not just saying that because i finally have a plate helm. No, it was great to have so many of those I RP with, or am in the same Guild as, there at the same time. Gando knows how well he did, as he's been there enough times already ( from what I could tell ), Ryleen did brilliantly, as did Vjoll, though like Gando, they'd been there before. As I said in one of my channels, that was the least number of GWT's I've seen on a GWT raid run. Just Chow, Garv and, um... some alts ( including me, but still ). I hope it was fun for you, Ryleen, and I look forward to seeing any more from our reputable Tribe heading there.

It was a lot of fun. I'm really happy I got invited to come. I look forward to going there again.

Did you take any bosses? Any good drops? (First time I went I got 2 T4 pieces )

It was a perfect run pretty much, Barz. I got my Rhino helm tier piece, Ryleen got the Witches Hat on the first night, and over the whole instance, not one wipe.The group we run with have a simple system based on how you'd deal with 5-mans - need if you need - which I think helps immensely ( it also means that Lyranne is pretty much fully epic, so if I want to improve my gear, I'm going to have to start thinking about other raids ).

It was nice to be able to go to a raid, beat it so completely, and be amongst friends.

I bet, can't say I have any experience there though. I got kicked from my friends guild in Kara because I complained about the off-tank being a arms specced warrior

I had to tank those mana-voidwalker-looking creatures - as a healer
