Karazhan time record.

[Retcon]

We clocked in right at 2 hours, give or take a few minutes, last week. We ran a traditional protwar/feral tank combo, 2 healers, and six full-time DPS (druid would DPS for bosses).

The big thing is minimizing the effect that one AFK has on the raid. If the MT needs to go take a pee, that understandably stops things up, but if one rogue needs to heed the call of nature, that's no reason to stop.

Massively overgearing the instance also is a big factor. We had Curator hit his 15% enrage midway through his first evocate, which gives you an indication of what our DPS is like. Running with two healers also amplifies this.

Chain pull like a crazy mofo. If raid mana is over 50% you should have a mob hitting you.

T4/Badge/ZA gear, 2 healers, 2 tanks, about 3h.

Only if Kara would reset as often as ZA...grrr.

That would be fun pants.

And you only need 1 tank and maybe a druid.

OK THAT'S IT

this server will never get that good, just have 2 guilds doing BT and that's it, only 1 horde and 1 alliance and dont even think they farm anything and its soooo hard to get in there it's crazy, i'm on a PVE server uldaman been there since it started guess that means i should xfer? lol i have a 70 hunter (mackay) 70 mage (morganalafey) and this pally (celexan) as well as my 42 lock (etick) all on uldaman server if you wanna look them up

TAHT'S WHY, i dont think anyone's t6 on this whole server yet, well maybe EoA which were doin BT, but that's 1 guild on the whole server maybe some T4 and 5 people but not fully.....why dont some of you guys come over to this crappy server, help us progress? lol

well we've had alliance guild and horde guild do it already thru BT, they really don talk to anyone it's strange never hear anything from them but it's in the progression threads, just can't get into it

NOTE TO ANY GUILD COMING OVER:
it's uldaman server, i'm on alliance side, my list of toons are morganalafey (70 mage), Mackay (70 hunter) and soon my 70 pally celexan PLEASE INVITE ME lol i wanna see this stuff fbefore i die

Just throwing this idea out there, but if you dislike the server so much, why don't you look for somewhere to transfer to? Getting an entire guild to transfer is much more difficult than 1 persons account.

A good idea might be checking the Guild Recruitment section of the main WoW forums or the recruitment section here (even though most seem to be LF post SSC, but it can't hurt). Or you could just look for a higher population server, check out the community via the forums and see who is recruiting over there. Go to the different guild's websites and start up a conversation and get to know people and the way they handle business.

The best thing about getting into a Medium to High population server, I think, is that if things don't work out with your new guild, you're not stuck without any options. You can always find groups and you can always find a new guild.

Many guilds that are doing Kara right now could benefit from someone with so many 70's. You add versatility when they need DPS but only tanks show up or vice versa. So for a newer guild you'd be more attractive than other candidates.

Sort-of on-topic: How do you handle the Icy Tomb mobs before Opera with only one tank? Even with two, I see things go wonky and healers 1-shotted from time to time.

And how do you handle Moroes? Doesn't he Gouge/Blind you and then kill the healers?

Or are those of you advocating one tank taking a DPS warrior for those fights, or a feral druid who DPSes most of the time?

Usually a furry warrior or kitty will shift/put on a shield and OT those. It's really only what, 2-3 pulls for the servants, and Moroes is almost a joke with CC.

Either a feral druid, or a priest for shackle. A shaman with grounding totem also works, as it eats the ice block. Even if a dps dies we keep going while one healer rezzes.

no that was a good reply thank you for your interest...

my problem is moving just 1 character is 25 dollars and if i dont like it i'm stuck there for x months...no telling if ti'll be worse or the same as here that's my only thing hard enough getting guilds saying they'll help you leave yours and we'll get it done, but xfering servers is a bit different

[Antharas]

BTW We had a kara clear of 1 hour 58 minutes, 22 badges. 2 healers, 1 tank, 1 ot/dps, 6 dps.

congratulations. gotta love t6 geared people doing stuff for kicks.

we cleared in 2 hours 20sum minutes w/ 1 wipe and 1 rest using mostly badge, t4, and ZA gear

group 1:
hunter
hunter
rogue
feral druid
elemental shaman (using agil totel for other 4 ppl i think)

group 2:
me (pally MT)
holy pally (2000 unbuffed healing)
resto shaman (1700 unbuffed i think)
spriest (900+ spell dam)
lock (1300+ spell dam)

my guild only just started t5 content, i think maybe 1 of the hunters had t5 shoulders and that was it, everything else is kara, badge, or za gear


gear helps alot, but its not the only thing. knowing all the pulls, bringing the right classes, and knowing how ppl play make a huge difference.

Realm forums, there's usually a guild list with guild's website/forums there.
Ask around and apply to a guild wich seems nice.
If they take you in, transfer.

i may it's just i've worked so hard on this server and hate to leave the ties but as it is i hav nothing to do but level up toons, then for what? they can't do anything

my only hope is this tank everyoen needs a tank in their guild and i can always sub in dps as i have 2 of those as well
