We had 3 regular instances going last night and 1 heroic instance going.... "ahh no big deal", except we were doing all this simultaneously.
I just wanted to commend HLS on having such awesome collaboration and participation.
The guild is starting to hit a good pace for gearing people up and I want to see that continue so we can progress onto bigger and badder content.

There was another milestone last evening (Sunday 5/6/07) :)
We had a full group in Kara, two groups in Botanica, and several players offline that had signed up for Kara standby and then logged later.
Not a bad accomplishment!

Oh, and for a Kara related milestone, the Wizard of Oz opera event got pwned on our third attempt. Zero deaths on that try and nice loot to boot!
What were the hax?

I just posted the write-up for the night....Shizma wrote:
No real hax, just good execution. Having a tank grab aggro on Tinhead and Roar while the respective casters "CC" them works much better than letting the casters solo.
I suspect the same is true of Strawman, we should try that next time if we can spare a tank. Perhaps MT = Roar / Tinhead, OT = Tito / Strawman.
Thoughtses?

Posted up on the Kara recap.
MT=Tinman, O/T Dorothea. Strawman has a ton of HP, but the fire disorientation thing is supposed to be the hax for it.
Don't know :) Only been there once, died unceremoniously in a heap.

Dorothee doesn't seem to care about regular threat generation. She will switch targets at random. She was the only mob in Kara where I just couldn't hold aggro. That's when we decided to just burn her down and ignore who got aggro.
Besides, it doesn't matter who she is nuking really, we all take roughly the same amount of damage. I don't think she did any physical damage.
Every time I recall getting aggro from her she hit me with a frost bolt. I started popping a frost ward periodically and that made a big difference.
On the last attempt I believe I "held agg on Dorothee" just about the whole fight (or what agg there was to hold). Most of the time she didn't get all that close to me but I know at least once she hit me for a crushing blow for over 5k.
Strawman getting locked down helps with that "kiting" a lot. Tinman I didn't have much problem with once Sol got a few sunders on him. I spammed rank 10 frostbolts at him every 3rd or 4th caster after getting a good 5-6 on him to start the kiting. I didn't pick up agg until Tinman was either the last or just about the last mob alive and then I just ran around. I stopped casting frostbolts on him because I wasn't comfortable stopping and casting but I saw War was casting it occasionally so it wasn't a big deal to keep kiting. If war wasn't casting frostbolt I think a tank needs to pick up agg or the mage is gonna die. :)
