Good GOD. Hat-Trick !!

Alt love!

So I'm hanging out on a Friday night with some friends and a shadow priest buddy of mine is leading Team 3 thru Karazan. Team 3? Yea. Some guilds run 3 to 4 teams of 10 and even include an out-of-guild guest run for alts and friends of the guild.

T3 says they have a spot and they'll take a hunter cause their regular hunter is absent. Cool. I have a dozen badges on 3 toons and want like 300 for each of them. To date, that makes about 87 weeks of constant Badge grinding to get there.

I bring my hunter in to fill a spot for Attunemen. Then a hunter logs on and they ask if I would bring in an alt, so I bring my priest in. Well, this is a first. We have 2 holy priests, 1 shadow priest, and now one Disc / Holy priest. So we go thru Kara in healer / DPS mode. They have alot of DPS and alot of healing. I'm just being a 5th wheel.

Nightbane coughs up the 2H staff. We cruised thru Curator with no T4 gloves and Aran died with Zero Casualties and no caster loot. I picked up the Pope Hat off the Chess event and the prince starts acting like a ROYAL pain. On the 3rd try... ( 2nd try ended at 1 Percent !!!! ) He goes down.

If you haven't had a raid boss fail to die at 1%, it's an altogether NEW kind of hell. You go over the fight and think of what ONE thing you could have cast, shot, hit him with that would have killed that slimy bastard. Anyhoo... we were determined to do him and we finally got him deadded. No T4 helm, but the Healing Cape comes my way. Boom, I hit revered and get my upgrade Violet Signet too. Yay 19 Badges for me.

Then, Monday I get drafted into being MT in ZA with my warrior. Yea my RETIRED warrior. I'm more experienced than the other tank, but he's in a Panzthar BP and has a Shield of Impenetrable Darkness. So, the kid has some nice toys. Me? I've seen ZA on Test and with three characters to the third boss. This squad? Ehhh third time in and things went VERY well. We got the Bear boss down on our 4th try. Took a long time, but the Learning curve is steep and they're still gearing up. Plus their two MTs were absent and you just can't PUG this place without dying a couple times to transitions. I got myself 1 Badge + 1 Quest done ( troll tusks finally ) + a 27g repair bill.

Anyhoo, I got to break all three toons out on the same weekend.
