Karazhan, Gear, and Guild Progression

Last week was great times in kara and I’m really enjoying how things are coming together. I think we’re looking good for some solid weeks in the future as we get better organized and more familiar with the fights. We’re still at the point in the guild we’re picking up a couple of non-guild members to fill the group has been essential to help us make runs possible. Hopefully we’ll be filling all spots with GM2, but in the mean time we’ll keep doing things the way we have been.

Picking up randoms has it’s pros and cons. Kara wouldn’t be possible most nights without them, and some of them have been great help (mage from pvp pirates and lokust come to mind.. although lok is hardly a random and pretty much an honorary member of gm2 imo.)Due to the pug members, some drops that would have been very nice to keep in the family have slipped through our hands. Since the bulk of the pot expense and time already spent in the raid (ie. a random jumping in on illhoof) has been shouldered by gm2 members, we should get to have a bit of priority on items. I think it wouldn’t be unreasonable to plan ahead of time and reserve certain items for gm2 members. I would suggest that these only be items that are huge upgrades, not just a slight upgrade, so that there would still be plenty of loot for pickups to roll on. To do this, you should be familiar with kara loot http://wow-loot.com/raid_kara.htm and know what bosses we plan on encountering on a particular night. Then, when we pickup a random, we can tell them first thing that item x is off the table but item y and z are up for roll.

Getting essential gear will help us for the end of kara, and maybe one day, we’ll have more than just warsong gulch on farm status. Speaking of essential gear, we have netherspite (http://www.wowwiki.com/Netherspite) coming up if we’d like to take a shot at him. I’m not sure how tough he is, but the quest rewards from http://thottbot.com/q10679 would be very useful after dropping some enchants on them. I’m going to try and finish these quests up, and I’d encourage anyone else who wants to join in, to do so. I’m sure there will be other demon fights coming up that these may help out with.

Desired kara loot for Angelopappas(out of 28 caster items that are good for locks):

• gloves from huntsman http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28507
• neck from trash http://www.wowhead.com/?item=30666
• cloak from prince

I’ll roll or pass on all other caster drops in kara. If the item is a small or medium upgrade I’ll pass to any guild member and roll against non guild.

Please post your desired gear list as a comment and i'll append it to this post.
