Attumen aint my bitch

Unfortunately I must say - he really isn't.

We went Karazhan again yesterday with the motley crew we have. Half from our guild and half from an other guild.

This means zero preparations. No communication - since downloading Ventrillo seems like an insurmountable obstacle for some.

We have this sign up system on the site. First come first serve. Three people had signed when the raid was due to start. I really don't get it.

Well - anyhow. We vent in and was one tank short. So after a bit of asking around we got an PvP specced warrior as OT. I thought that it wouldn’t pose a problem since they can do nice dps and therefore good aggro even when rage starved.

Right after entry we made our first mistake. While waiting for OT we started to clear horses - slowly. Since they are on a timer we managed to pull the horses on the opposite side of the plank at the same time as we pulled Midnight. Raid vs. Attumen: 0-1.

We got going again - starting to clear out the trash quickly. A bit too quickly. Some dps classes couldn't really handle aggro management. A mage died three times on the way. I usually don’t care when they do kill themselves, but we was a bit low on morale and this didn't improve it.

Well, at Midnight the OT pulled Midnight and started tanking. I took care of Attumen. BUT - our aggro happy dps constantly pulled aggro from the OT. Since OT don’t have that much threat moves it is understandable. But it was a constant thing. We wiped. Raid vs. Attumen: 0-2.

We made an other try. Cautioning the raid. Same thing happened, Raid vs. Attumen: 0-3.

One more go folks! Run in before respawns. And now I tank Midnight and OT tank Attumen. OT didn't manage to get an hold on Attumen - he ran rampage and wiped raid. Raid vs. Attumen: 0-4.

Four wipes on a single boss was enough, especially since we had respawns.

We went and killed the beasts. To get some nice stuff at least. We killed, and killed and killed till we were at the end of that part of the castle. Not a single boss spawned. I have no clue why. They shall spawn after a certain number of beast kills - but no...

That was not the best night for the raid and certainly a downer. I hope this wont get it even harder to get some raiders for next time.
