More badges

Karazhan was tonight, got myself some more badges but never got round to checking my tanking stats.

Took Attumen down easily and of course Vambraces of Courage didn't drop but Stalkers Ward Bands and Gloves of Dextrous Manipulation did along with a Badge of Justice.

Then Moroes went down dropping Shadow Cloak of Dalaran and Emerald Dagger and 2 badges but didn't drop the Boots of Valiance. So a wasted night, cos we ain't getting Prince down tonight and I doubt we'll be lucky enough to get Red Riding hood again :(

So onto Maiden and I put Blessing of Sacrifice on the MT and of course didn't have too much of a problem with healing as I was always being broken out of it. Bitch dropped Barbed Choker of Discipline again and Shard of the Virtuos along wth another 2 Badges.

So we of course got Romeo and Juliet (can't bring myself to name it properly anymore) and another one-shot with Earthsoul Leggings and Masquerade Gown dropping plus 2 Badges, yes I remembered to loot both corpses this time!

Curator was easy, but did get 2 evocations off, possibly a third, can't remember as I was concentrating on keeping JoL up. He was kind enough to throw Staff of Infinite Mysteries and the Rogue, Shaman, Paladin T4 glove token into the pot along with 2 more badges.

We finished off the night with a Nightbane one-shot and got Robe of the Elder Scribe and Ferocious Swift-Kickers and 2 Badges.

So, a good Kara farm seeing as we were group 2 and only got started building the group at about 21:00 after I suggested Kara rather than Heroics!!!

My healing was of course great (sorry if that sounds egotistical) with a paladin and a druid as the other healers. In the first half hour I was on 48-49% and was hoping I'd be able to hit 50% with 2 other healers, I eventually dropped to around 42% with the druid at around 29 and the other pally floating around 20% - thats clearly not good for him :(

Well, 11 more badges at least along with 5 soul essences and various grey crap including The Stoppable Force - lol and only a 9 gold repair bill.

Do you have to use Blessing of Sacrifice too on moores fight to break his garotte they say he does? How does that fight go exactly?

Nah, his garote doesn't stun you, it is a nasty DOT.

What you can do with that is Bubble or BOP out of it, or if someone else has it you can BoP them, in fact that is often the pallys job.

I am unsure if iceblock or stoneform clear the debuff, they may well do.

You may be thinking of the blind/stun thing he does to the main tank just before he vanishes.

At that point he does something nasty to no 2 aggro, so OT must make sure he is no 2 aggroo. I am unsure if BoSac can break pally MT out of that, I'll have to try that next time.

As for pally tactics.

Tank: err tank, but try to ensure to be away from CC'd targets if you AoE and don't be tempted to bubble out of garrote - trust your healers.

Other: you may be tasked with turn undead on one of the adds, probably the pally add, set up a macro to set focus to that target and then cast Turn Undead on [target=focus] when neccesary and then heal everyone and BoP anyone with garottes - except tank
