As for moving the guild on faster… Our guild is pretty solid with a commanding leader. We raid for about 5 hours a day, usually only two days a week. So when we get in there, our job is to move quickly.
The best way to build up the confidence for this (besides gear) is to make sure the buffs are big. Food buffs, flasks and potions, and any other buff you can put on. the more, the stronger everyone is.
When you enter the stables to go after the Huntsman, remember that the ghosts are easily tanked, and pulling aggro from the tank is nearly impossible, so make sure your dps’ers burn them down first and quickly. As for the horses, have shackles put up to hold them in place, it’ll help focus fire a lot more, and save on losing a player to be an off-tank. The moment the kill target looks to be gone (less than 10% health), shift to the next one and begin tanking. that way when everyone burns down the original kill target, the next on the list has your undivided attention and the dps’ers can pelt away on it right away.

Being the tank, and being a druid, you should be the one marking. You, or a rogue who can sneak in and mark without gaining aggro. It’s one of the biggest things to do, so everyone understands the essencials. And when they focus fire, they burn the mobs down faster, leaving everyone with more mana.

Wait until before the curator when you get towards the back door. There are two types of spirits: blue and green. Blue is a dps battle, everything’s great with them. It’s a tank and spank. The green, however, are immune to taunt. The moment you lose aggro, the winner of the aggro gets a one-way ticket to the outside as he runs back to recover his body (I know, I won it once). That will be when leadership comes into play.

Good luck in there. It’s a rough place, and the fights only get more complicated as you climbt he tower.

Most of the times I “thought” I was losing aggro, it was those skeletal horses. So now that I know they are charging, I feel better.

A clarification – I wasn’t saying I was upset others were stealing my aggro, I was wondering if I wasn’t able to keep it. Minor difference, but still a difference. I was watching theat meters, and the only one challenging me and the other MT in threat was our warlock, which makes sense.

So in the end – I feel a little better given all the comments. Got my signet equipped and we’ll see how it goes next time.

Thanks everyone.

We did Midnight/Attument like you said. I was on Midnight and we had a warrior on Attumen. Couldn’t see if he was disarming though. I think it was his first time also. Our raid leader had obviously been in before, but these are the kind of fine points my guild doesn’t always focus on, as I suggested in my post.

I am somewhat familiar with the layout and bosses having read the wowwiki overviews a few times.

As to “poot” – I’ll leave the post alone. Ignorance is it’s own punishment…

In regards to Lacerate, the threat generated is by actually hitting him with lacerate, not by the dot bleed effect. It is our “sunder” and is your fastest way to generate threat.

Oh, and ignore Poot, he’s a retard. Delete his post if you can, he’s obviously a 12 year old with a sad derailment attempt.

Also, just to inform you for future reference, There are five primary bosses and five “optional” bosses in Karazhan. Optional are: Attumen, Maiden, Illhoof, Netherspite & Nightbane.

The order for mandatory bosses goes like this:

Moroes->Opera->Curator->Aran->Prince

We usually do the mandatory bosses quickly and then come back later in the week to down the optional bosses.

Sorry about your bad luck on drops. Attumen drops the greatest gloves ever lol. You’ll get them next time.

Oh and for Poot. If you can’t post constructively why post at all. Oh and and I like to tank and most tanks don’t mind if I tank the mob.
