I need to make a new icon for Letalli. Preferrably animated. While the current icon is spiffy and all, her gear has changed a lot since then.

Got my first level 70 epic item last Thursday: Gloves of Dextrous Manipulation off of Attumen the Huntsman. My regular Karazhan group has Attumen down at this point and is currently wiping on Moroes. :-p It would help if we had more priests and pally's available to lock down the adds. Although, if we add in a different off-tank, I could go caster mode and take care of clearing out blinds and HOT'ing the people who get garotted.

I'm keyed for all the heroics except for Hellfire Citadel. We've got a Shattered Halls run on Tuesday that will take care of that for me. Then I have to start twisting people's arms to get them to work on their Eye and Serpentshrine Cavern attunements. Hopefully soon we can start getting our Alliance running Gruul and Magtheridon. I'm not sure how well the guilds that are doing their guild-only Kara runs are doing, though, since they haven't really updated the rest of us on it yet.

Completed the introduction quests into the Ogri'la faction. Got Honored with the Shatari Skyguard. 4000 gold away from Epic Flight Training. x_x I can probably pull in about 150g a day from farming, so about a month to go or so. Barring catastrophe. :-p

Got my priest up to level 40 and got her an elephant (Elekk) to ride around on. I keep forgetting she has a mount, though, and wind up walking halfway to where I want to go before remembering and using the thing.

And now, I go back to work. Took me an hour to write that much in between calls and waiting for processes to finish.

We usually don't have any way of dispelling the Garrote (we've only had a paladin once, and none of our mages are Frost specced).

Tanking isn't the problem for us. Adds are the problem. We burn down one, cc the rest, and then someone misses clearing a blind on a tank, moroes gouges the other, and a priest dies instantly, meaning we have a free add roaming around.

We typically try and burn through at least 2 adds, and typically 3. Sometimes we'll shoot for 4.

If you use the back-tank strategy, though, you can have your offtank try and tank the adds while you burn them down, which makes you less reliant on CC for the adds.

We don't have the mana to burn through all four. Our primary problem on our last run was nobody cleared the Blinds (our druid didn't realize they were poison). We got him quite far down, but then the healers were OOM and the only non-tanking druid had already burned her innervate on a priest.

Blind = poison: Dwarf tanks rule! Stoneform ftw!

Since the Paladin "free heals" nerf, I've learned to anticipate when to use mana potions. In fights I know are looking dicey, I'll quaff one early on (7K out of 10K mana) so by the time I'm about to go completely OOM, I can quaff another. ALWAYS carry 10 Super Mana potions on my character now.

Stoneform can also quash Garrotte.

All our Dwarfs are Hunters and Priests, sadly.

OMG, I wish we had more dorf priests. Fear Ward is such a big deal in fights sometimes. As it is, our last dwarf priest quit the game and we've only *just* gotten our first 70 draenei priest. Now we have to get them keyed...
