Well, Kara is in effect on farm status for Madoran's Fist. We went on our normal night with a sub-optimal group mix and pulled all the way to shade in one night. We also started and hour late. If we moved up the start time and actualy get the time between invites and first pull we could very well do Kara in one night. One night Kara run would give more time for new content which i believe we (as a guild) need to continue raiding together.

Which makes me think that every guild needs goals. At the moment I know our general goal of having fun together with friends while raiding and instancing. But what are our specific goals? My personal goal is to see as much raid content as possible. I doubt i'll ever go to BT pre-WotLK but I'd like to work towards it. I want to do this with my guild. We have some very good players that know their classes and theory very well. There is no reason we can't continue raiding together for as long as Blizzard keeps making content. :)

Adventures in Tanking

So, been on the instance grind with Karura. Been gearing up nicely and managed to get revered with KoT as well. Got my Continuum Blade and finally got the gear to get up past 490 defense. I just need the money to get my bird and then its off to Arcatraz for the third key and then back to BM for attunement. Its been alot of fun to tank the 70 instances i've been in so far. Its a completly different game than "pew pew" with my hunter.

The other fun aspect of tanking is that people expect you to lead. This can be alot of pressure but its also fun to think that your direction and leadership allowed your team (group) to complete the instance. I'm sure the people would do just fine without direction but keeping everyone focused and working together makes the difference between a 40 min and a 90 min SV run.

In Erendis news getting excited by the fact we have Kara on almost farm status. It will be nice to move out of there and into bigger instances. I think the next few weeks will be a key time for the guild to determine what direction we want to take. Change is fun!

Let the grind begin...

In amazing news Karura has hit 70. That means my alt is at the level cap. Makes me kinda sad. How many hours have I sunk into this game and how many will I? I know the answer that question (/played) but still...

Anyways, I've had pretty good runs with Biguurootnja (the best shadow priest healer ever, lol) looking for the Felsteel recipe out of Auch Crypts. I haven't gotten any drops but i'm getting a ton of rep and a pretty decent amout of gold. Also trying to get Biguurootnja up to 70 so we can get our 70 instance on.

So, I've got most of my gear upgrades planned out and hopefully in 2-3 weeks I'll be attuned and geared enough to run the early Kara bosses. We'll see how that goes.

Karazhan Cleared

So, Madoran's Fist has officially cleared Kara. I mean all of it. Netherspite fell to us and now that big ole tower is empty. It is pretty exciting but in a way sad. This was the first raid instance I ahve been too since I hit level cap post BC. I never saw the old raids so I think Kara will always have a special place in my heart even after I no longer raid it.

In other news I have hit 68 on Karura. Thinking of starting to grind BGs for honor for the season one gear. At the very least for a shield and the gavel. I think I can pick up other pre-raid gear in instances without the danger of going insane from endless honor grinding. ><
