First Time in Kara.

Well, my transfer went all well and good. I figured I'd just chill the first couple of days I was in the new guild, get to know everyone, sart reading up on how to run Kara. Work on grinding leather for my heavy clefthoof set. Just a few laid back days to get the feel of the new server and new guild. (And eep, I know I've been posting a lot the past few days, but a lot has gone on for me in WoW).

I was wrong!

First off, I'm in Netherstorm doing the dailies and a couple of quests I needed to finish up at Manaforge Ara.
I had thrown myself in the LFG channel because I needed more Lower City rep and wanted to finish some quests I had in Slabs. After 5-10 minutes in LFG, I was bombarded with whispers to join PUGs. That never happened on Draka. I'd sit in LFG for an hour or more. Help them kill Blackheart the Inciter, pick up Moonglade Handwraps. (They were going to be sharded, and they were an upgrade for my healing set).

In the meantime, I'm getting "welcome to the guild" whispers from my new guildmates and then one of them asks if I want to go to Kara. (I know Kara isn't that big of a deal anymore, but I have no raiding experience so I want all I can soak up). I apologize to the PUG group I'm in (I felt really bad about winning the gloves and then having to drop the group because the guild wanted to take me on their Kara run). Had to DL Vent and get that all set up still! (I feel so awkward talking on Vent!)

Full clear (they said) except for Nightbane (because no one was able to summon him) in 3.5 hours.

I only died 3 times. Once, because I got lost at the beginning and turned the wrong way into a group of mobs. Second time was because of Prince's enfeeble, ran the wrong way at first and couldn't get out in time. And the third was from the elementals that Prince drops. We only wiped once, and that was on Prince.

I got two shiny purples. Zierhut's Lost Treads and Drape of the Dark Reavers

The Stranglestaff dropped too. And the raid leader had been waiting for it to drop for ages. And HE wanted me to roll on it too! I was like are you kidding? I'm new, you've been waiting for it. I've already have gotten two purples, you take it! And a pair of pants dropped off of Nethersprite and I lost the roll to a rogue. But wow...two epics! I had so much fun and everyone was very nice and helpful. I also got 20 Badges of Justice! (Haven't done any heroics, so that was my first bunch).

My DPS kinda sucked, I was above our pally tank, but below the druid tank. I sat at about 298 DPS, then I got the upgrades and I bumped it up to 310. Which is most likely pretty bad, but I'm in really crappy gear. They said I did a good job considering I was new, hadn't read anything yet, and was in subpar gear. So that made my night!
