Kara speed clearing.

Guild has been carrying on kara for badges for some time now simply since its the best source of them, and with the new badge loot inc alot of groups have been full of mains instead of the usual alts. Because of that our clearing times have been getting pretty fast.

Managed a new guild record the other night of 1 hour 42 mins for every boss in kara which we were happy with, just wondering if anyone else has been doing this kind of thing and how they have been finding it. Personally look forward to kara these days simply because its such a laugh chainpulling everything :)

On a side note we mentioned in general kara chat that we had set a new personal record and were promtly spammed by a few peeps who said it was utterly impossible to achieve. While it doesn't bother me we wern't believed it would be nice to have some kind of way of minitoring the records since its getting to be a competition within guild to organise the fastest run. Anything think of a way that doesnt involve videoing the entire thing to prove a time is authentic?|||Quote:

A WWS log could be faked fairly easily, but it might convince people...

And 1hr 40mins? I'm impressed. *applause*|||an hour and 40 minutes? thats damn fast. i think fastest we've done was a little under three hours



thats like an hour for clearing ALL the trash to each boss and three minutes a boss or so...|||We just did aran, chess, illhoof and prince in exactly 1hour 55 minutes.. 1h 40 for the full run is very impressive :o

HoD|||the fastest ive done kara is a full clear apart from spite in 3.5 hrs. great job 1 hr 40 for a full clear id love to be a fly on the wall to see that|||We always slack way too much for that to happen =)

Grab a drink, someone goes afk for a bit etc etc. 1hr40 would be nice though. Gives ya something to do with the rest of the evening.|||Quote:

Naa not all the trash, you might be surprised at what can be skipped :). That plus when using a main group all loot can be done with need/greed rolls of the game system itself.

Bascially from start to finish both tanks simply chain pull untill the healers cry uncle, which never really happens.

Thats plus a 10 man group comprising of 2 tanks (1 a druid), 2 healers and 6 dps makes for extreemly fast killing of stuff. As an example nightbane doesn't usually get a chance to fear. You have to remember were only there for badges and the fun of the speed run though, most of us are in T5/6 gear.|||if we can do 2h30m with 7 alts or 2hr even with 4 or 5, then 1h40m is definitely doable, especially with mains who need nothing and you autoloot everything to enchanter or trust for need/greed rolls



but you're definitely bull****ting me with the nightbane not fearing



if you want time trial chain pulling, go get some ZA bear mounts|||Quote:

We have got some Bears, and ZA is indeed good for time trialing. But frankly I much prefere kara for the competition since I have never liked ZA much, plus kara is more badges :).

You don't have to believe me about Nightbane not fearing, but do remember that in that fight u have 7 pure dps (feral druid in dps gear mayaswell be) all with top end dps gear, plus people dont tend to stop attacking when hes in the air since the skels can be handled so easily. He was on 14% when he landed for the last time in the last kara for eg.|||Having Nightbane not fearing is fully doable. It just means you get him down 25% before he fears every "ground phase". Not sure if he has to choose to use it or if it's allways every 30 seconds tho. I've seen him taking off before fearing myself.
