Yeah, suppose if you were very well geared it wont be too hard. But, surely from my point of view running kara will make my gear better so then I can move on to the next place?

Yer kara is a progession tool, get the gear so you can move upto doing 25man raids however for 22badges in a night its still worth guilds doing runs even when you outgear the palce

Yeah, thats true, for ~3 hours work you do get a lot of badges! I didnt think of that.

I only missed one boss last night, so not too bad. Except it dropped a good necklace which I could have had, as the MT already had a better one. I got this off Julianne tonight though http://www.wowhead.com/?item=28573 Id rather up my armour, rather than getting a 2H though, but beggers cant be choosers!

Would you suggest keep on running Kara over and over until I get the gloves, boots, etc to drop for me, or is some things better in Heroic Instances which I should aim for as well? As im happy doing kara over and over, or is it a bit of a waste keep doing it, if I can go elsewhere and get as good/better epics? As thats what I want now, all epics!

Im getting my rep up with SSO, so I can get the shield from there, as that will be fairly easy to get. What did you buy 1st with your badges? Or is it totally dependant on my current gear situation, or for tanks is there "something" which every tank should get 1st?

Tried The Curator, but we wiped once, but then everyone had to leave anyway, so hopefully well be doing that tomorrow night. Seemed quite hard for me as the OT, as the Raid Leader said for me to try and tank all the Astral Flares which he summoned. But because our DPS seems quite poo, I was running around like a headless chicken. They got curator down tho about 1/4 health when we wiped.

Cheers

Ah thats a shame as the necklace is really good (Im still after it myself). I would always suggest doing Kara over heroics if you get the option as the stuff is mostly better and the badges are just great!

As for badges its down to what you currently have, replace your worst peice / peice thats less likely to get an upgrade 1st but overall you cant really go wrong as the newer badge gear (70+ badge stuff) is comparable to T5/T6 so you wont be replacing them any time soon.

Curator is the first major DPS test for any group, its not that hard to tank / heal through but you need to get him down by 3 evos otherwise you are more or less f**ked.

Make sure all your locks are putting Curse of Doom on him 50seconds before the next Evo and everyone else are keeping all their burst / cooldowns for when he goes into Evo and not before.

edit: Oh and all your DPS should be on the orbs until he goes into Evo, when he goes into Evo the OT picks up the last orb and moves it away from everyone. When evo is over everyone moves back onto the orbs untill the next evo. Rinse repeat.

Yeah, I was a bit anoyed I missed the necklace.......especially as I would have deffo got it, as the MT already has it. Cheers for the advice on the badges. Im in no real rush for anything yet though, as Ive only got 6 badges! Do you not get 2 badges per heroic though?

Our RL did keep telling the lock to do something, as his mana wasnt really going down, so guess he was doing fcuk all. We did use them tac-tics, but think our DPS was lacking. We have a good healer, MT, and DPS, then there is me who is new, and I think the rest of the group are quite virgins to kara as well.
Is the curator hard to tank?? As I wouldnt mind trying tomorrow when we go again, and let the MT do the Orbs. The MT has about 1k more health, 3k more armor etc, so is it silly for me to suggest me trying to tank him?

Badge wise you get 1 badge for the first boss, 2 for most of the others, 3 for prince.

You get 1 badge for each boss in a heroic (3 to 5) plus if you do the daily heroic (given by a guy in shatt) you get an extra 2 but they normally take a couple hours and as I said before I personally find them alot harder than Kara.

You can suggest it if hes going to be able to do more dmg than you on the adds, whats the worst that can happen? :P

lol, yeah suppose I can only ask!

It might be worth me running a few heroics, especially the daily....and thats 5-8 badges for a 2 hours run (there or there abouts), where as weve spent quite a while in kara already and I only have 6! lol.

Well there isnt any reason not to do heroics when you are not karaing - just saying dont start a heroic when you know are doing Kara that night becuase you will either have to leave the group and disapoint 4 people or say no to the raid and miss out :P

Ive slowed down the amount I play now. Finding it hard on my server to get a good guild. The better ones only want really geared players, which Im not at the moment. And the guilds I do get in, dont do anything!! I did find one, and the 1st week, they took me to kara, but then the guild split it for what ever reason. The next one I joined was suppose to be one of the top guilds, but then they didnt do anything, as the officers had taken a month off....which was no use to me really! Now the current one Ive joined, the first night I joined, we went to Gruul...but totally failed. At least they tried though. And hopefully tonight we will be going to kara. But will see.

Move servers.. think we can do with another tank - but they would need to see your gear first :oD

We got Gruul down for the 1st time last week with only Guild members (no pugs) & I led the Raid - which was a laugh as I had no idea of the kill order for the High King, etc.
Weve moved on to Void Reaver as well, we can get to him easy enough, its just thats where the n00bs show as they cant do simple tasks (same reason it took so long to
down gruul).

Heh VR is one of those annoying things where the Trash is worse than the boss (as long as people run away from the orbs)
