Darkfall + Karazhan = Win!

Darkfall has started up a second Karashan run at 4pm. This is great! Now there is less competition for the 10pm spots, and the people who fill them are less likely to fall asleep during the raid.

So last night both Kuanchichi and Viljo went into Kara. There was a little worry at the beginning as Tuesday nights it's sometimes hard for us to find a healer. But Kuan saw that our friend Siertial was on. Siertial is an excellent holy priest, and tons of fun to run with. Anyway Siertial was pulled into the run and off we went.

Attument, Moroes, and Maiden of Virtue were all one shot kills. Our Opera event was the Big Bad Wolf, who kept eating our healers. We got him to about 7% on our first try, and after a pep talk about *running* we killed him the second time around. Sadly Viljo still bit the dust second time around. :(

After that we went on to beat the crap out of the Curator and Aran: both of them went down on our first attempt. So, buffs still intact, we pushed through to Nethersprite. However, due to an unfortunate incident with the green beam, Nethersprite only went down on our second try. Because someone got nether exhausion before they were supposed to and couldn't go back into the green beam Nethersprite healed up to full. :(

After that it was very late, but we had been doing such a good job, we figured we might as well try Prince. First try, with 4 healers, we got prince to 1%. But once the tank died, the rest of us couldn't get those last 15K of health before he killed us all. :( The second attempt I screwed up, and Viljo had more threat than the tank: instant enfeeble-wipe. Third attempt we got him to 6% and again wiped. If we'd just had some better luck with infernal placement we'd have had him down no problem. And of course if it hadn't been after 4am at this point we could have tried again and probably gotten him.

Anyway the evening was definitely a net gain. In roughly 6 hours Darkfall cleared the first 8 bosses of Karazhan. Viljo and Kuanchichi were both there and got nice drops. Kuan got the Big Bad Wolf's Head and Viljo got the Staff of Infinite Mysteries (/swoon). They both hit revered with The Violet Eye and got their ring upgrades. And since Aran was killed they got Medivh's Journal, which will get turned in tonight. Also tonight Viljo will get the +40 spell damage enchant on that lovely staff, and, with that, can stop focusing on getting the Stormcaller from Thrallmar, so more focus can be put on Auchindoun and Lower City rep for Kuanchichi.

The final excellent thing of the evening was that Siertial joined Darkfall! Yay! This makes two good priests that Kuan and Viljo have pulled into Darkfall.
