ARAN: 30%

Possibly even less.

Yes that’s right, coming back to Kara today, <Neo Imperela> cruises through the entire first half of the instance including Curator. I personally spent a good 4 hours raiding; unfortunately, after 12 server, I could no longer stay due to commitment tomorrow morning early.

Started out no problems as usual getting Attumen. Lots of healer/tank gear throughout the entire instance, and starts out with Attumen’s plate heal drop. Took him down w/o breaking a sweat.

Moving on to Moroes–a harder fight for me as I had never actually taken him down–I only got into the group afterwards. Again very smooth despite some shackle breaks on the spriest. Really went well! Got another copy of my belt to drop, too–no one needed that, so it got squished. A LOT of stuff got squished this run.

As we got to Maiden, we were on a roll; no wipes, and only minimal deaths. Deadly Boss Mods’s timers for Redemption is off for the first couple, so I took some extra aoe damage from her, but I found that stepping onto her consecrate helps a lot. Unfortunately, we did wipe on our first shot at Maiden; however, we had no trouble on our second attempt and downed her.

The Opera Event this week was Little Red Riding Hood. A nice healer cloak and a plate helm dropped. Fortunately I did not have to deal with running Everything went really well, and we got through with no wipes.

After the Opera Event, I was 2nd on teh DPS charts, which was really nice to see. [Flask of Pure Death] probably helped a bit.

We had a couple nervous moments on the trash heading up to Curator, but overall it went well. Got to Curator, cleared the trash in his room, and started the fight–got him through 4 evocates, and then he enraged–CAKE. Not only did we not wipe on him at all after only getting him to 30% last week, we even got a no-death clear on him. Grats to Kythrine for picking up her T4 gloves!!!!

Of course, two pulls later on trash, all our healers went down and we nearly wiped on trash. Stupid mana-immune wyrms. Kinda embarrassing. ^^’

We wiped once on Aran before I had to leave, but we did get him down below 30%, which was great!

Really no caster gear from the instance at all, which was sad, but it was nice to have gotten as far as we did! Looking forward to possibly finishing tomorrow!!!

Great run to: Raiseplz (RL tonight), Kythrine, Zerlan, Fingan, Detlo, Bohsca, Sinithos, Tamaro, and Galistul!
