WoW BHA Monday Night Crew - Ruby Sanctum Tonight 12/6! Farewell to WotLK

I should be returning on the 14th and was curious as to what level I should shoot for by the 23rd? I'm currently level 60 on my baby rogue Apfsds and am hoping to get in on the tail end of the fun.

By the 23rd I think we plan on Raiding Kara which would be level 70.

I hit level 67 last night in anticipation for this week See you all Monday.

Looks like we all hit 67 this week. Not bad for the dead of summer.

Cayle started a DK and was going to try to catch us for today, but I don't think she made it :(.

I'm pretty pumped for Caverns of Time. Funny how we'll be "saving" Thrall tonight, but on Saturday Wrynn and myself tried to kick his ass in Undercity before Proudmoore stepped in.

hehe YAY, So first thing tonight we need to take a group trip down to Caverns of Time to do the begining quest. Fun Fun!

Lewis and I actually already did the walking and talking part, so we're good to queue for Old Hillsbrad. Also, I noticed that some of the Netherstorm instances also opened up at 67, so we could hit those too if we want.

I'm still 65, so no worries if I'm too low for the pack, have stuff I need to get done around the house tonight.

I will try to pop on after work and get my walking and talking part completed then. My concern is though, even if we queue we may never get a group because most 66 toons do not know to complete the walking talking part to be able to queue for it. We shall see!

Indeed.

If the queue fails us, though, it's easy enough to walk directly there.

I've already been inside and scoped it out actually. There's been a few 70ish-ers on this last week. Shouldn't be too hard to beg them to walk there with us.

Fantastic time last night guys. A big thanks to Rabbit and Demi for coming with us to Shadow Labs; there is just no way we could have made it through there without them.

Durnholde was a really neat experience. Though the ending was a little anti-climactic.

Shadow Labs proved to be quite difficult. It was by far my favorite 5-man thus far.

I respeced and re-gemmed last night and ended up with about 8% more health and a good deal of avoidance/mitigation. I also reconfigured all my buttons and added an "OH SH*T" bar that I intend to learn to use. I've gotten in the bad habit of clicking all my spells with the mouse and not using the keyboard as I should. I'm going to run UK a few times this week and get a feel for my new hot-key layout. I know I had some abilities that should have kept us from wiping as much as we did yesterday, and I'm going to get a feel for using them.
Great time last night, as always.

This week was definately fun. Thanks for joining us guys. I love when there is actually diffuculty to over come.

I hit 69 yesterday in anticipation and plan on not playing anymore, so that I will hit 70 this week in anticipation of next week!

My 68 Pally didn't do very well in Utgarde Keep this evening. Yo-yo anybody?

If you are open to some tips, I would gladly PM them to you.

"Take me, break me, make me a man!"
Please do.

UK is really, really hard to tank at 68. Props to you for having given it a go, I wound up grounding up to 70 to be able to strap on Northrend tank gear(the cobalt set to be precise). Speaking of, if you can't find anyone in GWJ to BS for ya, feel free to hit me up.

It is likely I'll hit you up for the set. I believe it'll be good to have for our Kara run. I'll start looking for Cobalt Bars.
In UK I made it up through the room with the dragons in it before we wiped. We wiped because our healer went AFK. He spilled something I guess. It was doable, but not serviceable in a PUG environment. Not to fellate ZeroKFE too much, but if he'd been healing we'd have made it. Just would have been slow.

Otherwise I am at 449 Blacksmithing with Stormspain.

If you don't have easy access to mining, and bars are pricy/nonexistent let me know about that too; I have a 450 miner with an epic flyer on the server as well.

I will start saving my bars as well, I took mining but just sell it. I have been getting cobolt when I run UK and in howling fjord. That set is a must for a 70 tank, it is awesome.

I purchased the bars and had the set made yesterday. Thanks Grinds!
Not that the cobalt set is sexy or anything, but I'll be glad to be rid of my hideous BC armor. My sword is the only redeeming piece.

That sword is pure win!

It is looking like we might have a full house this evening. I'm thinking that we should queue direct for the remainder of the good 5-mans, as it looks like we are not going to get to them all before next week.

Sounds like a plan.

Kinda wish I'd been more patient leveling the Paladin, or that I'm patient leveling any character for that matter.

Sounds good about tonight, we have a lot of places to hit, but if we wanted to do Black Morass tonight, we may have ot do Escape from durn again with whom ever is with us

My DK is 65, maybe we could have a second group?

Rain maybe you could catch up? We have not had a full 5 people almost the entire Monday run. I think forming a 2nd group may be hard. Cayle hung out with us last night (yay) and she was our 4th person. We have only have 3 consistantly stay with us from level 15 when we started.

We only play 3 hours on mondays, I would think if u can even log on for a hour here and there you could catch up fairly easy.

I had so much fun last night.... thanks guys you are great, made me laugh a lot haha. Looking forward to each monday. Hope my dps was ok for you on Darken, she is so new to me. ~cayle~

We are running Karazhan next week. Anyone is welcome to join. We would prefer on level, or close to level, characters.

Thanks a ton for joining us Cayle. It was great to have you along.

Had some great laughs last night!

Well my weekends are shot till October, Minnesota rennaisance festival starts Saturday and I work there. I'll try, I did play him some last night, sitting in a hotel in Winnipeg atm.
