Ye gods what have I done

Last night I took Chipple into Karazhan for the first time. It was in fact my first PvE raid of any type with any character ever. While I have a long way to go before I can call myself a raider, I at least have now been on a raid. It was quite fun, and I can honestly say I'd like to do it again. I'm sure upon reading this Dan will rub his hands together and cackle in a sufficiently evil manner (or possibly mutter "excellent" in a Montgomery Burns like fashion).

Our raid consisted mostly of people who had little to no experience in Karazhan (and most of the people with much Kara experience were on alts). I guess we were a bit melee heavy as in addition to our prot warrior main tank, and feral druid off tank we had two fury warriors, and ret paladin. Chipple and another frost mage were the only ranged DPS. We had a holy priest, resto shaman, and a resto druid rounding out our healing. Our holy priest was also our only significant source of crowd control. We downed Attumen the Huntsman in one go, Moroes proved to be a much harder fight, but we were victorious on our fifth attempt (and we maintained good spirits during the attempts). We made two goes at Maiden before we reached our predetermined cut off time.

Due to circumstances and lucky drops Chipple walked out of there with two pieces of epic loot. Attumen dropped the Handwrap of Flowing Thought and I was lucky enough to win the roll for it. Moroes dropped a Nethershard Girdle and the other mage passed on it (as did the holy priest) so with no one else interested - epic number two for Chipple.

Also as tradition dictates: w00t for post 90.
