Couldn't Shake Aggro

Gea. So sorry about missing out on Netherspite last night. I couldn't shake the GFA (or in my case the WA). I'll hope to log on tonight or tomorrow night to rock a new week in Kara. However, the concept of being bored worries me a bit. No sense in running kara if you're not having a good time. After and above all, that's what GM2 is all about. I, for one, have been having a great time with the content. I take satisfaction from the ease with which we blow through night 1 and the challenges of night 2. I'm hoping we can establish a speed run time to benchmark against this week for Attumen to Curator/Shade. Here are my thoughts on what will make for a good speed run:
  • Zero Wipes
  • No Dropouts/Replacements
  • Few Mana Breaks
  • Quick Transitions From Boss Fights Back To Trash (Speed Looting)
  • Hot DPS

Given we can pull that off, anyone got an estimate no how quickly we can clear through Curator? What about Shade?

My comment about boredom related to non-kara WoW, which I guess did not come across clearly enough in my previous post. I am having very good times in kara, it's just that on non-kara nights I find myself jerking off in Org or dancing on the mailbox, or both.

But kara is fun, don't get me wrong. I'm all about speeding through it too, and once angelo has the gloves we can avoid attuman all together which should cut out a good 30 minutes or so. (I also look forward to avoiding Maiden, although I'll miss seeing Kaynark paw at her crotch).

I may be out tonight (might be seeing a concert), but feel free to run without me. I'll be pissed as a mf'er if either of my Opera loots drop, but that's life.

Yo! I'm not bored with kara at all.. I also think we have a shit ton of loot we still need to pick up for the group. ZA is not going to fuck for free, that is for sure. Jutah can't go in there tanking in pre black moras gear. we need to change that. I'm also 0/4 with my desired kara gear.. and i'm sure there are others besides me and jutah who are still boned up about the possible gear upgrades.

Speed runs will be nice. Does anyone need anything off maiden? I can't afford to skip huntsman, but the fact that he's optional means that we can 7 man him any day of the week.. so we don't need to hit him on day 1.

I didn't mean to come across as bored in Kara. The weekly Kara run is a highlight for me.

My priest is down to needing rings and the pants off of opera. I think opera and netherspite are the only two fights I'll need to take him along. I might just run my Lock in there for enjoyment and DPS fun but I don't want to miss the rep on my priest.

Angelo is right about Juts tanking gear though. I think Kara flat out disregards his presence in the instance. We'll get there someday.

If we can follow those points made by Juts in the post and go into Kara with our "A" game, I think 3 hours up to Prince is reasonable.

That means that we minimize down time (looting, drinking, wiping) and chain pull the place.

I think we should measure running the place by half hour intervals. Depending on the gain or loss on time, each boss should take 30 minutes to get to if we half ass it.
