<Ravenous> has recently grouped up with two other guilds to form a raiding alliance. Before this, we had some difficulties mustering enough people to raid Gruul’s Lair properly.

With the addition of new an nice people to kiss the floor together, we managed to get the raids rolling.

With much success, I have to add.

Sorry for this little Alamo.

Monday evening, right after finishing heroic Magister’s Terrace (read the whole story here), we took no break. No, we did heroic Sethekk Halls. With me tanking on Aylah. I suppose you know what this is leading to.

In a Nutshell

The Curator guards the upper reaches of Karazhan and is considered a major gear check. You need a certain amount of damage per second in order to handle the adds he spawns continuously throughout the fight. If your raid does not kill the Adds quick enough, the damage is summing up quickly, and your healers will run out of mana.
