Euro Karazhan

Timing

Next Karazhan session will be Sat 5 May at 10am Server Time (6pm UK, 7pm CET), with a follow up on Sun 6 May at 10am Server Time (6pm UK, 7pm CET). Targets are:

Saturday pharmin' session: Moroes, Opera, Curator (circle back for Attumen/Maiden if time permits)

Sunday progression session: Chess, Aran attempts, Illhoof, onwards and upwards!

Loot rules

Loot will be set to group, blue threshold. Please pass on all roll-boxes. Loot will then be discussed, nd rolled with /random 100 on a need before greed basis. There shouldn't be too many incidents where stuff if contested, but if it is, and you have already had something out of the instance, please try to be nice and considerate. Probably helps if you reseach the loot of the zone and make yourself a shopping list.

Basically, normal Basin niceness.

Shards from melting unwanted loot will be collected until we have 10 and then distributed to the group, one each. Sjur will be acting as shard bank.

I call dibs on Attumens mount! First!

Strategies

These are the strategies that we will be using. Any tweaks to them, noted within each section on the wiki. Grey background is a boss we have killed.

Boss	First kill	Notes
Attumen	10 Mar	GIB HORSE ATTA
Moroes	14 Apr	.
Maiden of Virtue	14 Apr	.
Opera: Oz	15 Apr	Kill order: Dorothee, Tito, Strawman (fire mez), Tinhead (tank), Roar (chain fear) Oh, and for Sjur and Manka: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhbS7Y-K9Us&mode=related&search=
Opera: Wolf	19 May	He wasn't so big and so bad after all. He was a wolf though.
Opera: Romeo	21 Apr	.
The Curator	22 Apr	Flares run 4 seconds for random target and then they follow normal aggro rules. Therefore warlock stays in the middle and spams Searing Pain on them so that flares run to lock - predictable path for melee and away from other ranged. Ranged DPS holds off a bit on the begining of each flare spawn to not draw aggro (esp. hunters who loose ton of DPS when they have flare in the face).
Shade of Aran	.	Suggest that everybody downloads and installs the following add-ins for this fight: TWAran and TWInterruptWatch. Note that due to our raid composition, we will most likely have to use the option to let him Sheep+AoE Pyro before 40% (when the elementals come out).
Chess Event	22 Apr	We don't need no stinkin' guide
Prince Malchezaar	.	.
Illhoof	.	.
Netherspite	.	.
Nightbane	.	.
