No please! No more epics! Please, make it stop!
No really.
I get that we downed Horseman in fifteen minutes including trash.
I get that we burned Moroes after one abortive attempt (trap broke early).
I get that Maiden chain-fired us and we came back for a second try and pasted her against the wall.
I get that while this was happening we got two epics off trash. I get all that.
(I don’t quite get why this guy actually had these as an upgrade, they seem rather… out of place…)
Anyway. We were in Karazhan today. We burned Attumen with, and I’m going to brag here on other people’s behalf, such accomplished grace we made it look casual.
My nightmares about Moroes from last week? Gone. This week’s group burned down the adds, shackled, trapped, and in general blew a hole in the universe so smoothly that I was actually and honestly surprised at “First down. Second down. Third dropped.” coming through my headset.
Maiden? Well, I’ll be honest, I actually thought we’d down her more easily than we did. But, still being honest, the reason we wiped the first time was because we were too close together on the melee group. Adjusting for one melee more than we had last week was hard, and the tank caught the end of one of her Chain-Holy Wipe-o-Matic Cluster-Killers.
We got her the second time though.
Then there was some discussion. “Well, you know, we could just clear up to Opera. See what it is.” I didn’t mention that it resets and possibly changes after everyone leaves for a half-hour. I wanted to see!
The entire way up, I’m hearing- from the three people who’ve run Opera before- about how nice it would be if we got Red Riding Hood, since that’s both fun and simple.
I also heard how we had a good group for Oz…
…and how we must live in dread of Romulo and Julianne.
“Of course you know,” I said in jest, “Now we’re going to get them.”
Our brave few cast lots to see who would get to strip buff and go out onstage to provoke the curtain.
“Tonight” the stage manager bellowed as Wild shivered in his unmentionables, “we explore a tale of forbidden love!”
My headset lit up. “Crap! It’s Romeo.”
“Can we try it anyway?” I’m not sure who suggested that.
One reasonably-fast explanation later….
“Romulo’s 20, swap to Julianne.”
“Fifteen and six.”
“Keep at it- eight and four.”
“Four and two!”
“Two and one- she’s down, get him!”
“YES!”
I admit to yelling over voice chat. It was amazing. That was two hours ago and only now is the adrenaline draining.
What I don’t get is this.
In two weeks, I have gotten no fewer than five epics.
FIVE.
Gloves of Saintly Blessing. The VERY NEXT DAY, Mitts of the Tree-Mender. This week? Both dropped again (naturally I didn’t need them this time) plus Earthsoul Leggings and Bands of Indwelling.
I don’t get it! Please, give the tanks some love!
No. Really. Wild, you’re my witness here. If the Forest Wind Shoulderpads drop tomorrow off Curator- (because you just know that punk’s going down) I will cry. I mean it. I will actually cry. The Wrynn Dynasty Greaves or a T4 glove need to drop instead. The tanks need some love.

Romulo and Julienne is not really that hard.. first time i got them the more experienced people also warned us that they were a tough fight, but in the end it all comes to commnication and coordination… this is one fight where you NEED to have people talking all the time… calling interrupts, dispels, and health percentages…
