wierd night

Kara last night was just plain wierd. It started out pretty normal, as we downed Attumen and Moroes quickly and easily (or so we thought...). But things started getting wierd when we hit the Maiden. Group 2 has never wiped on the Maiden. Ever. We proceeded to wipe 5 times before we finally got her down. I don't know if it was the new main tank, or everyone being a bit lazy and sloppy, but it was just not at all smooth. The main problem seemed to be positioning, as her chain lightning was arcing all over the place *and* I wasn't able to dispel her holy fire easily like I usually can.

At any rate, we eventually did get her down when Moonfirespam stepped back, stopped DPSing and added a 4th healer to the mix. He threw down some HOTs on the tank and we all managed to survive to the end.

That's when things got odd. As we were getting ready to clear our way to the Opera, trash mobs started respawning on us. From behind. Moroes-linked mobs, who shouldn't respawn after we down Moroes. When we finally got to the Opera, we were unable to enter because "Moroes is still alive". Uhhhhh.... We got his loot!? We tapped a keg next to his dead body?! At any rate, several people opened help tickets and we sat around for 20 minutes waiting for someone to help us. Eventually we got some help, but the best the GM could do was to have us all leave the instance for 30-45 minutes and do some sort of "soft reset" of the instance. It's not precisely clear what that means, as two different GMs told us two different things. Maybe Moroes will be alive again, maybe he won't. Certainly, all the trash mobs will need to be re-cleared. Blech.

So, all in all, a very strange evening in Kara. On a good note, I've managed to sell off almost all of my auction house buys, except the cards I bought, which are low-volume, high margin items. I think it could take a few weeks to get rid of them. I'm almost at break-even already, even with the outstanding stuff to sell, so I don't feel like I've done too badly.
