Last Shaman Standing!

The other night I went on a unscheduled Karazhan run with a group from my guild (on Hoofie). Our group was made up of some "alt" characters (including Hoofie) so we struggled a bit throughout the run (though we did make it to The Curator in the end).

Anyhow, we got "The Big Bad Wolf" for the opera event. We wiped on the 1st attempt but fortunately we got him on the 2nd attempt.... barely. The 2nd attempt was almost another wipe - because by the time he was at ~2% everyone was dead - except ME!! At that point I threw in a few Frost Shocks, summoned my Fire Elemental and started running across the stage hoping to delay my probably impending death. And just when he was just about to smash my face in he fell over dead! Click here to see a screenshot commemorating the humorous ending.



Fortunately since Hoofie is a shaman, she could rez everyone so everyone else didn't have to run all the way back from the graveyard.

To top it off, one of the items he dropped was a great upgrade for me! Actually, speaking of useful drops, this entire Kara run ended up being one of those awkward runs where almost every boss seems to drop something that is a really good upgrade for your character that no one else really needs so you end up taking home quite a lot of loot!You always hate to be that person because as much as the game isn't about loot, it's much more fun when lots of people get loot - not just you!
But the people in my guild are all nice though and while some of them were sad about not seeing things they needed drop, they were all happy to see me get some upgrades. Here's what I got:

History: Combat Log

There are so many interesting dungeons and bosses in the game that I thought it'd be neat to list out all the ones I've had the opportunity to experience. So - here's a complete history (sorry no dates) of what dungeons or raids I've attended. Since I have leveled up 5 characters past 60 (4 to 70), I don't have a perfect memory of which character ran which instance [x] number times - but in general though I think my "estimated # of runs" for each instance below are pretty close.

If you take all the estimated # of run numbers below and multiply them by 2 hours each (average time per run) you get a pretty crazy number of "time spent in game". For any detractors, in my defense all that time was spent talking/joking around with real people with headsets/microphones most of the time so technically it was some form of social interaction! :D

The saddest part of this page is that due to the way BLIZZARD releases expansion packs for the game, 80% of locations listed on the page are no longer worth visiting because the gear drops and/or the quest/experience rewards for running through them are just not worth it for people leveling to 70+! :( It's a tragedy too because so many of these places were really fun at-level. I still hold out hope that somehow BLIZZARD will one day breathe new life into these places to make them worth visiting (at or even after level).
