I decided that I hate Kara -_-Follow

Okay. So I'm exalted with the Violet Eye, I have the badge Cloak, Trinket, Necklace and ring (never wear it), plus 120 extra badges sitting in the bank (not all my runs have been full clears with nightbane, illhoof and netherspite).

I have never seen any of the ranged weapons drop. >.< I've done Attumen more times that I can count, and I've downed Prince just as many times. I've seen BBW 5 times. NOTHING.

...And two days after I spend my arena points on the S3 axe and enchant it with Agility... Legacy drops... I really wish that I had just saved my arena points for the S3 chestpiece because Nightbane doesn't want to drop the leather chestpiece, either.

But I do have mongoose, and have even seen it drop two weeks in a row... Too bad it doesn't do anything for my personal dps.

Anyone else have so much trouble with Kara drops? /cry

eh, with the new badge gear, kara is pretty much useless aside from badges.

This.

With 120 badges, you're very close to the ugly, but still very awesome crossbow. Once the patch finally comes, of course. So either way, there's light at the end of the tunnel.

Our guild is in a different situation. All our raid hunters have Sunfury. One has WSSR. One of our tanks has Sunfury only because noone else could use it that night. We're in the process of merging with another guild, and we ran a few of their guys through tonight, and Sunfury dropped again for one of their hunters.

But Light's Justice just. Refuses. To. Drop. Our healers are so fed up with Prince it's not even funny.

And in 3 months, we got Romulo and Julianne twice. BBW once. And Oz each and every time other than that. ugh. So sick of Oz.

Don't get me started on how many BM runs I had to do before the Hourglass dropped. And I've done it dozens since for other guildies, heroics, etc. Haven't seen it again.

That's life I guess...

Yeah... I am at least excited that after another week or two I'll be able to afford the badge Xbow, even if it looks like a Peacock. But who knows how long it'll take for the actual patch to come =(

I'm so sick of seeing Light's Justice. It doesn't drop *every* time, but every other week, at least.

And I just got word that my group's tank has had to DE the WSSR because there was no one in the group who could use it. I /cry'ed

Statistics is a mother, isn't she?
I got the Steelkhawk Crossbow on my second Attuman kill. And Legacy on my second Oz. But I've never seen WSR drop, and BBW Opera is rare as hens' teeth.

And I have no T4 from Curator or Prince, nor the nice ring from Prince or his bow.

And the one time the Aran cloak dropped, just this past week btw, I lost the roll. And it was the first time I'd ever seen that cloak drop at all.

Still fairly new at Kara, as I usually can only log in a couple afters after my guild starts raiding (damn time zones!). I remember some post awhile back, I think it was in alla, about what raid position you consider youself as, I think I'm the "dependable" back-up that rarely makes it on. But I finally was able to get on in group 1 and when we downed curator, the hunter t4 glove coin drops, but I lose the roll to a new guild member...doh! Oh well, patience young jedi right?

Yeah... Those tier 4 tokens are fun, aren't they? My first time downing curator, my token drops, and it's auto looted to me because the mage already had them, and we had no warlock. First time I downed prince, I won the roll on the token. I also got the pants and shoulders pretty quickly because it seems as though Gruul and High King drop those tokens every single time. I suppose I should be happy about those, but aside from the pants and helm, all the Kara gear has lowered my raw DPS in favor of more Stam and Int. The pieces that would actually raise my DPS considerably don't like me.

And Kompera, sorry about the cloak. At least hunters don't need an insane hit rating like rogues do, so the badge cloak works just as well (and looks sweet). I've never seen it drop, and it's starting to frustrate my rogue boyfriend.

Here's what you do....drop a snake trap in front of Dorothy just as the curtain opens...OR just about as Roar is about to go down, drop a snake trap. Here is the thing, the snakes will attack npc's that are not yet active. If dropped in front of Dorothy, she will trigger it and the snakes will attack the npc on either side. If dropped at 1% or 2% on Roar, when the crone spawns they will attack her. HOWEVER, when the snakes attack an npc that is not yet able to be attacked, the event resets. Funny crap until someone figures out you did it on purpose.


Yeah....and they complain that all the kids play Alliance. Smiley: rolleyes

I'd gkick anyone that wasted mine or the people in my raids Time for his own amusement like that.
Smiley: lol so I check Beestun's armory and what a surprise! Non-Guilded.
Pulled that trick lately have we?

As far as the ranged Weaps go, I have all 3 now.

I've had a mixed bag of luck with my hunter in kara. I got the xbow from attument my 2nd trip in but it took forever before I saw the legacy drop. Even then, I had the S3 axe for over a month when it did. On an epic beatdown of the price I lost the bow to another hunter. I rolled an 88, everyone thought it was mine for sure until he rolled a 94. On the plus side, my priest's first trip to kara netted 8 epics including light's justice from prince.

Why would you be wearing Legacy over s3 axe? S3 is superior by a long shot. If you were Surv, might have merit, but that's about it.

I've been lucky with the weapons. I've got the rifle on my second BBW try. It's funny how you say that's the most rare opera, when we seem to get it the most. I'm exhalted and we've only seen OZ twice.

It only took a couple of prince kills for me to get the bow. Then last week it dropped again and I had to disenchant it. I felt bad for the hunter who got stuck at work at missed the raid. Oh well.

Now on to the suckage. Like I said I'm exhalted. I've never even had a t4 token to roll on. I've never seen an enchant drop. I never had any items drop that I hadnt already gotten better from arena or badges.

Actually i seem to suck at finding enchantments in general. I'm exhalted with about everything and the only drop I've gotten was +stam to wrist.

BBW on first ever sighting of the wolf, bracers on first time at attumen, his gloves way later, ring 5th time or so i killed curator, belt 4th time on demonic chainguy and thats all i've got from Kara.

Only bracers have been replaced so far, by the not so rare TK trash wrists.

If you were using a crappy ranged weapon, why did you go for the S3 axe instead of the S3 crossbow/longbow/gun??

Because the s3 ranged weapon requires a rating, and the axe doesn't ?

Why do that when you can Misdirect/Multishot the rogue?

No one will /gkick you for that.

Fixed.

And not only does it require an 1850 rating, the S3 ranged weapons are really slow at an agonizing 3.0 speed.

Not to mention that the Axe only costs 1000 Arena points.
The X-Bow is what, 3500 something?
