Indeed, resets are every wednesday regardless of when you start it.

If you donwload a couple mods (Atlas and Atlas Loot) you can see boss drops for every instance in game and make a list of whats worth going for and what isnt. Generally each boss in Kara drops a nice tanking peice but you have to get lucky. Ive ran it way over 20 times on my tankadin and Moroes has never dropped his tanking peice and maiden hasnt dropped either of the 2 she carrys :(

Getting a Kara guild shouldnt be a problem, there always guildes at that level and becuase its only 10 people it doesnt involve alot of effort to arrange. Keep your eyes open on the offical wow forums (Guild section).

Be warned tho you might get frustrated quickly ;) when we started off Kara it was taking us 3 nights to clear the place and alot of wipes, its a whole new level above normal 5mans. After a couple of months tho when everyone has tactics sorted and gear has slightly improved you will do a whole clear in a few hours (2hours 45min was last count methinks).

1 tankadin to AOE tank everything (Me! :D)
1 Main overgeared healer
2 Hybirds (DPS/Healer & DPS/Tank)
3 Locks
3 Random DPS

Above setup with everyone in T4/T5 makes kara very quick. Curator is just funny when he dies 4seconds into 1st Evo from 3x CoDs.

Of course everyone out gears the place and we are just there to farm badges and pickup the odd bit of loot (I still need 3 peices from there and Im sitting at 22K Health raid buffed with 104% Avoidance/Block) - It makes all the difference when you start getting everyone down to a T.

Start with 3 healers and 2 tanks, then 2 Healers and 2 Tanks, then eventually 1 Healer, 1 Tank and 2 Hybrids to help out on the couple things that are needed.

My old guild used to farm badges in Kara on a Friday night, along with a few drinks, we never got anywhere near beating 2hrs 45 tbh to many "brb need a beer or brb I need a pee" lol

Egg have a look at this Warlock DPS Spreadsheet Its by far the most accurate DPS calculator I have used for a Lock (have a look see what your DPS would be with your current gear and a Felguard build   -) )

already use that Shaun  :cheers:

Just the group in general was mostly alts, who are usually forced to take their mains as they are key players,
so dont get a chance to gear up in Kara much

Well, went to Kara last night for my first time! I was only off-tank, but still enjoyed it.

We only went as there was a few new guild member who hadnt been before (inc me), so we went. We did the first boss, with that horse, then went to Moroes where we wiped 3 times, but then had to finish anyway, as people had plans. The Raid Leader said wed go today with a proper team, so hopefully Ill be able to go again!

Grats :) Off-tank is a good place to start but can get boring quite quickly but you need the experiance, badges and gear.

Make sure you watch and try and learn the pull orders, what gets shakled/CCd, tactics for each boss becuase as the MT you will be doing majority of marking and pulling :)

I know in 5 mans I marked, but the Raid Leader has been doing it, and telling everyone what to do. Which suits me tbh, as I havent a clue what cant be shackled/CC/etc/etc!

We went to kara again tonight, and it had onbiously been reset, so killed the 1st boss again. No plate dropped. Killed Moroes 3rd time lucky, but no plate drop again!! I then had to leave for work, but they said they were going to go to the next two bosss. Does that mean if/when I go tomorrow back to kara, those bosss will still be dead, and I wont get the see them this week, but the others will still be there?

Yep Maiden and Opera event will be gone if they manage to do them. Maiden drops 2 or 3 tanking peices and Opera can drop a nice plate DPS helm but cant think of anything else from there.

You will have to wait till next week to see them but then again Opera is my least fave event in Kara so be happy :P

Hopefully they didnt manage it, and will have to go back tomorrow and try again.

Only prob is, the main tank will get all the better stuff she needs, and Ill get the cast offs :( But, suppose I am learning still. Will piss me off though not getting the epics, but I suppose she does have priority being MT.

Did you mean as well, you did the whole of Kara in 2h 45mins??

You have to start somewhere mate and be happy you get badges now, didnt when i started off tanking. THe badge gear is so insane compared to majority of kara stuff.

Yes whole kara is 2hr 45 is the best we managed.

Thats insane doing it that fast! Supose you had everything sorted didnt you. Doubt well finish it all this week. Although some of the guild memebers have completed it before, Im still not sure we will. Our healers didnt seem the best either, as they let me and the MT wipe once or twice.

Yeah, the badge gear does look pretty sexy! I could imagine getting a full set of badge gear taking a while!! lol

As I said in other thread if you can get everyone stocked up (Pots, Elixirs, Food, Water, Bandages, Fully repaired) and you out gear the place by silly amount you can do it with 1 tank, 1 healer and 1 resto hybrid to help with raid healing... then you have 7 dedicated DPS (atleast 3 warlocks :P)

Thats most people in T5 gear and none of that BRB and then going away for 20min crap.
