Getting back into Kara

So my goal for the guild has always been getting into Zul'aman before the expansion comes out. With Mike and Audry's subscriptions running out and several tanks needing teir gear I think Kara is one of the fastest ways we can get to that goal, especially as we get to the point where we can clear it out (or at least get up to chess) in one Wednesday evening. Although doing heroics is also a blast, I wanted to discuss here the things that are keeping us from being able to get back in there so we can see how we can get around them.
Part of the problem is having less than 10 on or people not being able to start at a set time leaving us waiting for more. Since we've got tanking and about half of healing covered, (Once Gavin is back and the new tanks are geared then we'll have all the tanks and healers we'll need as I can heal) it should be pretty easy to find a set of substitute dps'ers; the question is if we'll pug them every night or if we should try to get a set group of people to show up each week.
Anyway, I figured it's time we start talking about
a) how to do this and
b) if you guys even want to do this.

Pugged dps is fine. Let's do it saturday night.

Yeah I just bought some S2 gear for my priest so he should be fine for heals on the bosses we have already downed, we just need faithful and phledgenogs to get some gear and we're golden. The tough part is it's hard for tanking druids to gear up.

Last week was a great try, but it seems we hae a teeny bit of gearing to do; to assist this I motion that next week after attumen we kill all the bugs to cut our way directly to maiden and do her second, there is a bug boss that drops a random stat item that might be more likely to help someone out too on the way. or we can just get to her the normal way but either way she seems a heck of a lot easier to do with one tank.

Upon further research, the bosses I mentioned in the bug area appear after all the bugs and beasts are cleared, DO give rep, and DON'T Save you to the instance. That means we can potentially farm these guys to get good boots and bracers for a lot of the folks in the guild, and you don't even need a full group to kill the guys!

we might want to look into that.

Check this out: for mores they say don't even have tanks on the adds, just dps them down and have the 2 tanks on moroes the whole time. This sounds like just what we needed.

Saturday night runs would permit Fumiko and I to participate on our Sunday.

Saturdays are no good for me at the moment, except for the occasional exception. I guess once the other two tanks are geared then you don't need me and Saturday would be better for all of us, so we'll keep working on them. for now.

Yay, I healed in kara on my priest and we downed everyone but the two dragons. So yeah, he's Kara ready too now.
