Aran and Nethersprite

We went into Karazhan again tonight. It was, once again, tons of fun. Though a little more work this time. After clearing through Curator last Tuesday we headed to Aran with plans for Nethersprite afterwards.

So we wiped on Aran, and then wiped some more. The first two times Viljo died almost immediately. Aran apparently decided that I was annoying and, well, swatted me with a set of arcane missiles or two. After that we kept dying to the water eles, it was especially bad when they happened at the same time as the sheep/pyroblast. After a couple of hours of this we gave up for the night. We had already rezed and repaired and were just not feeling the love, even though we'd get him down a bit more each time.

So we went on to Nethersprite. After a lengthy discussion of how to deal with the beams and a rotation for the blue beam (whee blue beam!) we dropped Nethersprite's ass. Oh yeah, one shotted the big ugly dragon. The dps warrior got a nice ring, and Kuan got some enhance pants. (The enhance gear always seems to drop for Kuan :( )

Dropping Nethersprite, after hours of Aran wiping the floor with us, made us quite happy. So we decided to give Aran one more try. Figuring that worst case we'd at least all rez at the entrance and be ready for tomorrow night. But lo, we have prevailed! With the addition of a new strategy, holding dps so that sheep/pyro happens and is done with before water eles, we were able to take him down easily. Sadly Drangnon had proposed that previously and not been heard, but at least once it was finally tried we got him.

Anyway earlier today, Kuan and Viljo ran heroic Slave Pens so that Kuan could get the last 3 badges for Icon of the Silver Crescent. I was very sad when Boots of Blasphemy dropped and the warlock we were with outrolled Viljo. But all is well! The loot gods have smiled upon me, for: Boots of the Infernal Coven dropped, and apparently Viljo's boots were the crappiest out of the people who could use them, and so the RL decided that Viljo got new boots. :)
