One is a pally the other is a priest. We got through all of the air phases so at this point this is a fight of attrition. I get feared ... no biggie (druid butt has good armor). Bane then suddenly takes off after the healers even though I had a 20k threat lead before the fear. Trying to figure out why ... I was Bopped!!!!!!!!

Did a run against Maiden a while back after I moved some of my bars around. Deadly Boss Mod screaming about incoming repentance so I click "Blessing of Sacrifice" on the tank to heal through the repentance. I now see the "Release" window pop up, and everyone is full of panic on Vent. One healer down, tank out of it for 10 seconds as he's trying to figure out what happened. All melee has now been killed and Maiden proceeds to chop the healing tree down for lumber. Much hatred ensued. After admitting what happened, paying for repair bills and moving DI far away from Blessing of Sacrifice, Maiden was downed. Of course she drops healing gear...... Speaking of DI and Kara.

It can be harrowing while adds are up, but use Moroes' vnish as you shackle Timer. Whenever he vanishes, re-cast Shackle. Works like a charm.

"Tell my wife..." He mutters. "Huh?" I say, drinking hard liquor and sitting in a chair. "I LOVE HER!" He yells. Next thing I know, he's lying on the ground and I'm surrounded by a yellow bubble. "Lol," I say, and then try to move. "Wait..." "WHAT DID YOU DO?!?!?!...hic!" I say. Once I was hanging out in an Inn in Theramore when a level 70 paladin from my guild comes in.

Well, here's one not so fun. I'll set the stage for you first, way back in the day when BWL was the omgz end content of WoW, the guild I was in had only been in BWL for few months. But here we were one late night, deep in to the instance and someone’s getting cranky because they don’t have enough DKP to get their T2 chest piece and everyone’s like “Well if you show up to raid more you might have more DKP….blah blah” Anyway, so far its been a great run, (other than the QQ) and we are bound and determined to do a full BWL clear tonight so we don’t have to come back just for Nef the next day. I’ll fast forward to the good bit… So here we are now in the middle of the Nef fight and everything is going smooth as silk, dragonkin skellys have droped, class calls are going smooth, elephants and giraffes are running free….you get the idea. Nef is at 20% and here come a warrior class call (warrior was our MT at the time), warriors stuck in zerker stance, healers get ready….Now just as a side note I’m playing a rogue at the time so all I can see is Nef’s back feet so I’m like stab, stab, slash, cut, rinse, repeat not really watching what’s going on around me and I notice that vent suddenly gets all quiet like…in mid sentence…so I think CRAP I just DC!!! Nooooo Bloodfang, I cometh!! I sit up a little straighter in my chair just in time to see Nef turn on the casters and nuke them right down to their boots. OMGZ!! Is the tank down I ask myself (quick glance to raid frames) NO he’s right there not moving!! CRAP the TANK just DC’d!!! Where’s the off tank ?? …. He’s Down OHNOZ!!1 …Nef 9% wipe inc. /cry **The following conversation is to the best of my ability to remember so “Bear” with me Guild Leader: What just happened?
