So after all my QQ over the last few months, there's happier news.
Last night I was waiting for my boyfriend to come home and play with my new gnome mage (that I made to get out of the endless frustration with the hunter and all)
Well, I was farming primals for the
Boots of the Crimson Hawk (I got the pattern off the Auction House. >.<) but almost didn't want to wait anymore when he signed on - I was already half asleep. But after like two minutes he was like "How tired are you?" and I asked why and he said "Well, Trufflepig [a prot pally he knows from a PUG] whispered me. They need a healer and a dps for their Kara guild run."
O.O
My boyfriend is a tree, I'm a hunter. It couldn't have been more perfect.
So we get invites, summons, and head in. RL says "Get on vent, buff up, we're starting to clear trash in 2 minutes."
I don't have vent (yet! Because I never needed it) but my boyfriend tells me anything they're saying.
I'm a little confused about the marking, because square doesn't mean trap - we have two pally tanks and don't need much CC, just a killing order.
We wipe once on the last pull before Attumen - I'm afraid it was my fault because I MIGHT have broken a shackle >.<! but they blamed someone else (jokingly) and it was all good. The raid leader said "Okay, this was our one wipe for the night."
And I seriously thought "This is too good to be true."
Everyone knew exactly what they're doing and they were really well geared (I was thinking they could have 8 manned it, but I'm not complaining)
So we down Attumen without any problems, and he drops mail bracers. The raid leader lets me know that I can roll on any loot that drops if I need it - but I pass on those because I have the Ebon Netherscale set and it wasn't really an upgrade (and I don't want to end up losing the +20 hit set bonus just yet.)
Afterwards we head to Moroes, and again, no problems. Before Maiden, the friendly mage took the time to type out the strategy for her, just for me. One or two people die during the fight, but we still get her down in no time. My boyfriend was hoping for the healy mace, but no luck.
Before the opera event, they explain all three possible events before we head in and I was really excited because all of them sounded like SO MUCH FUN. We ended up doing Oz, and the
Ribbon of Sacrifice drops. My boyfriend rolls and wins - so I'm happy about being there and he's happy about awesome loot. :)
Then during the Nightbane fight, I died when he was at about 70% and I wasn't sure what I had done wrong, but later the mage told me it wasn't my fault. And I got to watch the longest fight in my little hunter life. I'm not too sure I like that fight, it just seems really long and not too exciting. But he dropped a mail chestpiece and boots, and I roll on the boots and get them. They tell me I can have the chestpiece too but I don't need it >:O
Ha, it's kind of funny. There were three drops that I could have had and only one was an upgrade. It makes me feel better about my pre-Kara gear. They didn't post damage meters and I was glad. Seems like they only cared about threat during the fights and actually getting bosses down. I liked it :)
And I got enough badges to get the Primal Nethers for my boots.
My boyfriend was really happy for me and said that maybe my luck is changing. :)
I'd want nothing more than to join that guild because although I didn't hear them on vent they seemed like the nicest people, and really good players.
Well, maybe someday.
I know Kara isn't that special to a lot of people anymore, but I was really excited and I loved every minute of it.
And it also told me that even if I find a good guild, 25 mans aren't going to happen for me. Not on this laptop, anyway.
