My poor bandwidth :(

A couple of days ago we made the Chess Event in Karazhan, omg, you wouldn’t know how much fun was it, lolol. Basically you control chess pieces and you have to kill the king of the other side, each piece has it’s own ability and you can move all over the place, lol. I controlled a Charger, and it was almost at the end that I finally got out to attack people, heheh.

So far we’ve made all the encounters in The Opera, last week we got the Big Bad Wolf, very very funny as well (I love Karazhan, hahahaha)

If you notice I’m dead in the Shade of Aran encounter, even tho last night we couldn’t kill him I can say we are making progress on that fight ^^

Here are a couple more screenshots of some of the encounters we’ve had

I went to Old Hillsbrad to buy something. Old Hillsbrad is an instance inside Caverns of Time, and I was kinda amazed that in Southshore I could see people that are now bad guys in WoW, for example, Commander Mograine and the dude at the back of the table are both bosses in Scarlet Monastery, then you have Tirion Fordring that dies in a quest, if I’m not wrong now that I remember Fairbanks is an undead in Scarlet Monastery. Then in the second picture you have Stalvan Mistmantle, an undead dude in Duskwood, and last, but not least, Kel’Thuzad as a human walking around ^^

I wanted to check Dalaran, but there was a certain point in the road that everything got clouded and then I couldn’t go further because of an invisible wall.

We-we-welcome to Gruul’s Lair

022307-01

Last night our guild stepped into Gruul’s Lair for the very first time. Gruul’s Lair is a 25 man instance that is located in Blade’s Edge Mountains. The instance itself is very similar to Onyxia, only has there trash pulls and then one boss, and after that I guess a couple more trash pulls and then Gruul.

The first boss is one called High King Maulgar, with his council (Kiggler, Blindeye, Olm and Krosh). Basically it’s something like (in the same order) shaman, priest, warlock and mage. On the run I served as a tank/dps, tanked Blindeye. We kept having a couple of issues but at the end we could kill them ^^

Here are a couple of screenshots of the fight. If you notice the interface changes from one to another… I was trying to set up ag_UnitFrames (I’m trying it right now) and messing with things around, hehe.

The raid pretty much ended after we downed him, not really sure if we are going to try Gruul during this week, tho.

As for Karazhan, so far this week (this happened the past wednesday)

Last week was a hard one, not really because of the bosses, but for other issues that were rather… uncomfortable. Answering Fianna‘s question, our raid is “usually” made of the same people (usually because of the issues we’ve been having since we started raiding Karazhan). We could say that our raid (Team 2) is made of most core people, which can attend on every raid we make, with a couple of exceptions.

Romulo & Julianne (very similar to Romeo and Juliet, isn’t it?) is probably the hardest encounter you can get in The Opera, and it’s kinda relieving that we managed to take them down. At first I started tanking Julianne, but on the last attempts (and on their downing) I ended up switching to Romulo.

For those wondering about my stats as a tank in Karazhan, here they are. Keep in mind that I took this information a couple of days ago, and since then I’ve upgraded probably one item, so there might be a slight difference to what I currently have (improvement)

Unbuffed
11,480 Health
24,137 Armor (69.57%)
385 Defense
21.56% Dodge
1,077 Attack Power
22.52% Crit Chance

So far it seems I’m saying Feral, so my Uber Healing Guide might not get updated at all (since I can’t say I have experience as a full time healer in end game instances). But I might write a guide about tanking, time will tell ^^ I’m working hard to improve my gear, but most of the things I need are crafted, and it takes a ton of mats and money to make them T.T And then I’m still saving (or trying to) for my epic mount :(

Changing topics, this is our Guild Master as a dog :o

These are screenshots of very funny (or interesting) quests I’ve done (so far) in Netherstorm ^^

During the last week I also finished getting my last heroic key, so now I got all five of them ^^ Now I just need to get an heroic perma group T.T (there’s people in my guild that runs heroic instances, but most of them already have their private groups setup, so it’s hard to get runs going).
