After a not-so-great Ramparts run on Monday (not on my usual server), we did a <Nightstalkers> guild run on Tuesday night.
Well, sort of a guild run; two of us have alts there.
Tank:
Neogensis, 59 paladin, prot spec
Heals:
Anthrak, 70 shaman, resto spec, geared appropriately for Karazhan, <Defiance>
DPS:
Enhtiar, 70 shaman, enhancement spec, Kara-geared, <Defiance>
Ryanmann, 60 shaman, enhancement spec, caster-geared
Moshman, 63 warrior, arms spec.
After the previous night's run with a roughly equivalent group where I was tanking, and got frustrated by the group's inability to let me get aggro, I decided to hang back and let the paladin tank.
After all, he's a fair decent tank already, but if we're going to take him to Kara, he needs to learn what to do through practice, not be walked through by a bunch of 70's.
The tank did really, really well; he managed to get, and keep, aggro on quite a few occasions. Considering that I have seriously superior DPS because I have 11 levels and quite a bit of gear on him, this was an achievement.
We had a discussion about "what to do when you die"-- that if you click the "release spirit" button and go to the graveyard, it's much more difficult for anyone to resurrect you because they have to go and find your body and click on it. Also, while your spirit is out of range, you won't get to roll on any items that are looted during that time.
And, lo and be-freakin-hold, after this discussion, on the next near-wipe, NO ONE RELEASED. Hooray!
The other other shaman and the warrior didn't do too badly, though the little shaman kept following me around into places where he should have feared to tread, and kept dirt-napping because of it.
All three bosses went down fairly easily, especially since Enh was able to take quite a bit of damage once the MT went down. We had a good time, everyone followed the loot rules and was courteous, and I would definitely go again with these folks.
