First Karazhan run!

Yesterday after noon I got this crazy idea that Dezzi and I should find a Kara PUG to join. A quick text later and it was decided that he'd start looking for one about an hour before I logged on at 8. Around 8:15 we found a guild called Lords of Aggrothat was in the process of running but had lost a few members. We joined and got a summons to Kara. They were on the way to Maiden when a few other PUGGERs dropped group.

The first pull went really smooth, it was a big group of non elites. The tank, a feral druid over vent says "oooo the hunter knows to misdirect" *grin*

The second pull was a single elite Valet. I send in Kitty and mark using my pet pull macro

/cast hunter's mark
/petattack

And prep for my aimed shot. At the same time me gun goes *BANG* the druid says "valet is immune to growl.... watch your DPS everyone." I start thinking "please dont crit.... aimed shot never crits for you, it won't crit." So of course it ZOMGWTFCRITZZZ for 2k. No problem, I'll feign dea.... nope that's a real death. Lleu was one shotted for close to 10k health!! Yes, that's a wipe.

After that thing went well, until Maiden. Maiden owned us. First pull the main healer got the Repentance, that's a wipe at 60%. Second pull Maiden was down to 40%, Warlock pulls aggo while standing next to the main healer. Main healer stands in the AE and goes down. That's a wipe. Third pull, I'm not really sure what happened but we wiped at 90%. At this point I ask "hey should we skip Maiden?" Someone else agrees and we go to Moroes.

I go to look up Moroes and see that he is the "keystone" for the dancing mobs. Killing him will stop the respawns. Wow, wish we would have know that before. Especially since no one was really looking for gear off of Maiden.

On Moroes we had the Shadow Priest, Prot Warrior, and both Pallies. We trapped the Ret Pally, the Shadow Priest, and shackled the Prot Warrior. DPSed the Holy Paladin down. Our shadow priest was to high on the threat meter and was dropped. Then we DPSed down the Shadow priest and that was all she wrote for us, our tank dropped and Moroes had 10 more people over for dinner. Two more attempts fail even worse and Lords of Aggro call the raid.

We learned a lot about the small amount of Kara that we saw and that's a good thing since Ash told me that we'll start doing guild runs in the near future. We've got a couple of guildies that have more experience then we do in there but every little bit of info will help.
