Attumen & Midnight "soloed".

I figured I'd let it be known this is now possible to 5 man by yourself if you are not already regularly running Kara. I've only been in once before with my whole group and though it went well, the people I went with usually run with their guild mates so last night I figured I'd give it a shot. I run holy pally, resto shammy and 3 ele shammies for those wondering and I had to use reincarnation on all 3 ele shammies due to some threat issues. However, I think with practice it could become a pretty clean run with no deaths. If your wondering what's the point, there really isn't one. :P

Like I said, I've only been once with the whole crew and we did everything except Prince, Nightbane, Netherspite and Illhoof. We gave Prince a try but had issues across the board, not just me. As for Shade of Aran, we pulled him outside his room which is very time consuming; how do you usually do this fight? Granted your all dps so don't have to split up but I'm just curious. Thanks.

Your paladin is a caster... why split them up. We just fight the shade in his room. When he pulls you in to aoe i just hit my forward button on everyone and get out of aoe range. If we have a priest i tell them to mass dispell before they run (not required).

When I pug Kara this is what I do:

group 1 = me 5 shamans (ele) ... Could always make one a healer if I can't pug 2 healers.
Group 2 = 1 tank, 2 healers, my g/f's mage + 1 pug dps (normally i get a rogue or hunter / fury warrior) this way we can kill the magic immune mobs easily.

I'm working on my Paladin / Boonkin / Shadow priest... meaning I'd 8 box + g/f on her 1 I could just snag a tank or healer and go.

When I run Kara we clear everything but Netherspite, last weekend we had 2 tanks so we tried it. It was late and a sloppy pull so we wiped and called it a night.

The Run Down:

-- Auttumen -
Tank n Spank
I usually bring a paladin tank for salv + tanking ( with patch isn't required)
I was stacking Salv + Tranquil air totem so threat wasn't ever an issue.

--Moroes--
Have the tank pickup agro on Moroes, drop 2 earth and 3 fire eles to help out on adds.
Pop Heroism/Bloodlust burst healer adds down first, then other adds, then moroes. (this fight is easymode Moroes dies in <1min).

--Maiden--
You could spread out before the fight, but I just have the non-box'd people go to the north end and spread out, and I stay south and do a semi circle.
Keep down Grounding totems then Burst the Bitch down Easy tank n Spank.

-- Opera --
BBW tank n spank hope you don't become little red riding hood. Agro isn't an issue here just go nuts on the guy, i've yet to be turned into little red my luck is crazy.

Wiz of Oz - Have the tank pickup agro on everything... Nuke Dorthy down first, but maintain flame shocks on Strawman. I really don't have a kill order here other than Dorthy. Last time it was Dorthy > Roar > Strawman (i made sure i kept FS on him) and then whatever else was left.

Romeo + Juliet: Haven't had this event yet, but it shouldn't be too bad.

-- Illhoof --

Use a /target demonic chains macro and fire elementals for his adds... then just burst him down and then his imp buddy.

--Shade --
Avoid Blizz, kill elementals, don't move in flame wreath, and make sure you are using move forwad on all and not auto follow to get out of the aoe. ( I rotate shocks to interrupt him totally optional).

--Curator--
I focus on adds let my raid do most of the dps, and then once he evocates i go nuts on him, we can drop him on the first Evocate. Inbetween adds I throw a lightning bolt or 2 pre-evocation.

-- Chess --
Don't suck it's easy

-- Nightbane --
Just make sure you have a strafe all left and strafe all right button bound to avoid the scorched earth. Then pretty standard tank and spank... Then I use Cl/Firenova on adds and we all move up as a group and clump up.

--- Prince --
Hope you get lucky on the infernal drops, makes it pretty easy if you don't have to move. If you get shitty drops just move and then continue bursting him down.

If all you are interested in are mounts taking pugs means a series of rolls IF you are lucky enough to get a mount drop. Boxing let's you skip the rolling stage and go directly to the looting ;)

I took my 5 man team into Kara tonight just to try and get some epics off trash and some rep, and just to see if I could do anything. I actually took out Attumen in one try with no deaths. I thought it'd be too hard to heal with my tank in blues, but the trash before him was harder! It's really just tank and spank. Nothing more to it than that. My druid got her first epic! yay! Thanks for giving me the idea to give it a shot.

Attumen goes down easy with a five man group, he's a free badge, and a chance at a mount.

I meant split physically as in location, tank up front, casters in the back, not group wise. Not sure it would matter on Aran though anyways. Anyhow, most the fights went well and we pulled Aran outside because thats how the people I went with wanted to do it. They invited me and having not really played with my boxed team don't know what I may or may not be capable so I let them call the shots since they were really doing me a favor. As for Prince, again they prefer to take their chances and not move so if you get bad drops you are screwed... we got bad drops. Hopefully at 80 at I'll get more chances to raid but thinks for the input on these fights in case I get lucky enough to get back in there. Picking up 5 extra for a pug just doesn't sound appealing. :P

Mine aren't really pugs... It's me x5 + g/f + 2 friends from work... so we grab 2 pugs that are people we've pvp'd with or grouped with in the past. Once in awhile Reprisal comes.
