So, last night we had a guild first. I love those. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy. One day you look back and go "remember the first time we downed him?" It's a special kind of feeling, and I think it crosses over to the guild as a whole - not just the people who were there for it.
Netherspite!
This might not seem like a big deal to people who have been farming Kara for a while, but we've had months of "we're skipping Netherspite. It's too technical. Takes too long to explain. We don't know how to do it." We knuckled down this week, read the strats and watched the videos.
Took us two tries. And the first one only failed because I was trying to be fancier than I needed to be and danced with the tank beam. We went in all prepared for multiple wipes, and we got him on the second try. We had more trouble with Prince (three of our DPSers were melee and we had some bad infernals) than with him. I actually swapped my warrior for my hunter for some more ranged damage. Of course, my T4 token for the warrior/priest/druid dropped but I would have been rolling against half the group anyway.
We went on to do Nightbane and Illhoof, to finish off Kara. (Apart from the animal boss, but psh.) Considering that our group was a little quirky - Warrior, Paladin, two priests and a resto druid, a warlock, two feral druids, a rogue and a hunter - it went surprisingly smoothly. Illhoof we got down in one try, and he's the one that usually gives us some trouble.
I went to bed far too late and I think other people did too, but it was worth it.
Ooooooh. pretty blue translucent dead thing!
Grats on spite. he's a hard fight to learn. Wednesday I got to tank the Red beam in bear form... Thank goodness I brought more than just my tree gear.
Thanks!
Yeah, I read that anyone that has relatively high health and armour can do the red beam tanking. It's gonna be interesting to see the combinations we come up with.
How did you get on with your tanking in the rest of it?
