New Guild,New Bosses, New Lootz

Wed:08/22/07 That morning I had decided to apply to Mal Katai, I have some old friends from ascension in that guild who had said they might need a tank. I figured why not, 25 man content sounds fun, and I still had never gotten to see prince in Kara. So that morning I make my guild app, but it doesn’t look good as they say they have a lot of tanks…. Bummer. I log onto wow that night and speak with the GM and it turns out they do need a tank, awesome good news. Five minutes later I get the guild invite. “Hi All thanks for inviting me!” “Welcome” “Welcome to Mal Katai” Five minutes after that I get a raid invite for Kara, the tank that’s currently in there already has everything he needs(Wish I was that lucky). So I go and take his spot in case something warrior like drops and they don’t have to waste it. Low and behold a Phat sword drops off the Chess event! Sweet action. Right after that its four pulls and were at the Prince (I had no idea he was so close to the chess event). I get a brief explanation on what I need to do this fight, and it was pretty brief because these guys have done this boss so much they didn’t really think any explanation was needed since it’s so easy for them now. The prince does this spell which causes your life to go to 1%, then he does a spell right after that which if you’re in his blast radius it kills you. When you have the 1% basically you run like hell to get out of there. I didn’t know this at first so im at 1%, and im like uh oh, hopefully I get a heal, then everyone yells on vent Raydz! Get out!. ….To late I get hit with the blast wave……but I resist it! Everyone laughs because apparently it never gets resisted. Well then next round im at 1% again, im aware of what’s happening….but with awesome dial up I lag out(Crap what a way to make an appearance 1st day in a guild), but then laughing on vent occurs again, I resisted it! Next round no lag, I know what’s going on, got out of the aura just fine. I forgot to mention the whole time you’re fighting him he is summoning huge fiery Internals which plummet from the sky(I think we had like 9). They don’t move from where they land but they do these huge fire blast waves so you have to move the boss all around and the healers are constantly having to shift positions. Prince dies and drops a DPS axe. Which no one needs so I get that too! Welcome to the Mal Katai would you like to ride our never ending train of purples? I sure would! Kara ends and there is almost enough to do Gruuls Layer, thats freaking sweet. We get all formed up but are short a few healers so they ask if anyone knows any. I sure do, I whispered Baconstrip and he dropped his AV and came along. I haven’t ever done any of the 25 man content so I was pumped. The first boss is only 2 pulls away! Which someone messed it up so we did the 2 pulls all at 1x, which made it go faster but was much more stressful. Finally we get to the boss, everyone is assigned there task and we set to work. My job is soaking up bolts and tanking the “Warlock” Oger, that was pretty fun and easier than I thought it would be. I had a veteran Druid tank coaching me through it so that helped a lot. We wipe the first 2x since everyone was getting used to the fight and then on the 3d attempt he went down crying like a bitch. There again something drops for me, since we had to pug a few people it’s all rolls. Its my tier 4 shoulders so it’s a pretty big deal. I roll…..a 95 and win! Holy crap! I start talking with the GM though and she is saying since I won they are mine but they have a druid who is still wearing his greens and he really needs them and I just got 2 purple items, so I was like alright he can have them. Man that was hard to do the shoulders are such a tight item! I cried myself to sleep last night. The GM informed me though that this earned me major brownie points though and now am a member of their Kara core group 1! I’ll be decked out in no time hopefully as long as my luck holds out on drops. Im looking forward to my next run whether its Kara or a 25 man instance, hopefully I can talk bacon into healing us again. Repair bill for the night: Only 11 gold
