A New Look at Karazhan

So this afternoon, the guild decided to do something fun. A group of us (mostly 80s and a few 70s) did Karazhan. We started at 2 o'clock this afternoon and went in with the idea that we would see how far we got. Our guild leader was time crunched and we only had three hours. A "finishing run" was scheduled for tomorrow. I'm happy to say we won't need it. 

The ten of us started downstairs in the stables and took Attumen down in seconds. We figured that was a rare victory. We might have a little more trouble with Moroes. It took us 33 seconds to bring him and his four companions down. And we fought all of them at the same time. Maiden actually gave us the most difficulty but we used it as a grudge match for our often killed Paladin. He has been killed multiple times on Maiden before. This time, he got to walk in like he owned the room and do some damage before we all joined in. 

Curator, Netherspite, and Nightbane offered no real challenge. Nightbane was probably the longest fight but we only went through three aerial phases. Chess gave us fits for some reason. Most of our figures died at least once. It was frustrating but we managed to bring the king down eventually. Illhoof was fun for me. I get to just spam Seed of Corruption on Illhoof and watch everything go boom. For Opera we again got Romeo and Juliet. This time there were no issues. We killed each in seconds and brought the pair down together. Aran died quickly although he did manage to flame wreath right as we brought him down. The flame wreath remained and our hunter moved...almost killing the 70s after the battle was won. 

Prince went down in less than 45 seconds. We actually spent four times more time discussing the fight with the new people. After bringing down Prince we headed to the basement to kill the rest of the trash. Our priest cast Levitate and we got to jump down most of the castle. That of course created our only two deaths. Two of our people didn't wait for the spell and had to be rezzed. We ended up finding a Rare down in the basement but it didn't take us long to clear. All in all, we finished Karazhan in 2 hours. It was so amazing to go through without having to worry about anything. We were so overpowered we would gather whole rooms of trash mobs and AOE them down. It was ego boosting...and just plain fun. A great afternoon.
