Ah know when ah’m no wanted, all them druids rompin’ their way through Karazhan and nary a dwarf nor a rogue in sight.  *Grumble*

Lightwalker’s furriest, featheriest and..barkiest? stepped into Karazhan with one aim - trash the place, druid style! I had been hoping to do this for a long time - especially after seeing Anna’s all-Pally Kara run - if those pretty-in-pink boys can do it why can’t we druids!?  We had some troubles getting things off the ground last week but this week things came together and we rampaged through the place.

There is little in Karazhan that is truly difficult for an all druid team - Aran and Romulo & Julianne require interrupts and Maiden reqires a dispell.  I managed to fraps most of it but, unfortunately, didn’t get any footage of moroes as I forgot to turn fraps on.  /crai

Please forgive the terrible youtube-quality and quickly-put-together video - I’m a newbie when it comes to recording and editing and compressing and and… yeah.  I kinda enjoyed it, though, so I’ma try to do some more and hopefully get better!

The Setup:

• 5 Ferlols
• 2 Boomkeks
• 2 Trees
• 1 HT Druid

Problems:

• No dispell
• No real interrupt
• No salvation!

Bonuses:

• 5 innervates
• 5 combat res’
• Pure, Distilled Awesome

Our guildies were mostly amused and seemed to think we’d lack dps or not be able to overcome the need for dispells / interrupts but I think, after thoroughly trashing the place, we can safely say we proved ‘em wrong.

Some notes:

Maiden we simply outhealed for the most part and combat res’d when there was just a bit too much damage going on.  Not really much trouble and in a pinch the melee could have all healed the tank (though it totally wasn’t needed with the number of hots flying).

Romulo and Julianne are actually pretty easy to interrupt - the Eternal Affection heal is a looooong cast and two feral druids can take turns standing out and waiting for it to be cast then feral charge interrupting it.

Aran is a pain in the big bear butt - we found that using the same technique as R&J meant losing far too much dps so eventually we just took the option of taking the poly.  As the video shows - druids can easily overcome this with a few tranquilities blasting!

Illoof isn’t actually too bad  You will end up with a lot of imps but we found that having a couple of swiping bears was enough to keep most of their attention and the relatively high health pool mitigated well (as well as some pretty awesome healing).

Plate will drop on every boss.  Whats not plate will usually be mail.  I think we ended up with 6 items actually going to people max… /facepalm

Dps is a bit slower than a mixed group and we weren’t setting any records but we finished in ~3 hours or so - not bad, really!

Screenies

(Oh and my little Jhai was the lootwhore of the evening, soaking up [Signet of Unshakable Faith], [Emberspur Talisman], [Aran's Soothing Sapphire], and squeefully [Gilded Thorium Cloak] (replaced my resto offhand twice in one run hehe).  I hate feeling like such a lootwh0re but, damnit, I hate seeing things sharded!)  The cloak was a really nice upgrade for me as was my new [Violet Signet] (dinged honored after downing Maiden!).

Go team druid!
