A little background. My guild was on their 4th ever Kara run. We don'thave anyone that's been involved with leading kara runs before, andalmost noone that's even run Kara, so it's been a massive learningexperience every time. Attumen and Curator are the only bosses we'vedowned on the first run that we tried them. We read up on the bossfights, but its easier to apply the knowledge after we've seen thefight ourselves.
Well, this weekend, we hit Opera, and got Big Bad Wolf for the firsttime. Some of our people got used to being Little Red Riding Gnomepretty fast (which is to say that they'd survive a bit over half thetime), and other people just didn't. We had one rogue we all felt sorryfor, EVERY time she got the debuff, it was while she was standingaround stunned. Some people died every time they got the debuff due tolack of practice. We still managed to consistently get BBW down under20%, but 7% was our best.
Well, on our.. seventh(?) try, things started off bad. Soulstones andcombat rez were all on cooldown from the previous attempt. Lost thefirst three LLRGs (all DPSers), then started having them survive. Losta healer, another DPSer, and a tank. We're at two healers, a tank, anda DPSer, and BBW is under 5%. 2%. Vent is going crazy. And then we losethe tank to a LLRG call. The DPSer didn't last long. Vent takes a"well, we almost had it, we'll get it next time" tone. As a holypriest, I knew I was about to die since I was now top of the threatlist. Managed to refresh SW
ain and get off SW
eath before death. No,SW
eath didn't kill him, I'm not sure if it was the SW
or BBW thatkilled my priest.
But I got a screenshot of the holy paladin, standing over the corpse ofBBW, surrounded by a handful of corpses of the rest of the raid.
