That's something that I hadn't throught of really, and I can imagine that it helps when you get a stray mob that needs to be CC'd in some way. I think that I had feared the whole bit of being the RL and responsible for wrangling cats for a couple hours.

Maybe my original post is a bit off in what I was asking, but maybe I should be more specific.

I want to be successful in this run, as it's one of our first jumps into ZA and I'd like to be as prepared as possible and can't really go in there solo and start toying with mobs. I think it's important to have at least an understanding of mob abilities and didn't know a resource to find them, hence asking here.

I've been raid leading Kara for months with my old guild before we split up, but we were so overgeared for the content that when we got an extra pull, it was more "oh, oops. Pick it up!" and everything just worked out fine. Sadly we don't have that many geared people, so we can't just faceroll these instances anymore with the amount of rerolls that we have.

Speak calmly, refrain from getting excited or panicking (having a completely monotone voice is great for this, or so I've been told). Keep shit simple while you're at it.

If you're one of the people marking make hot keys for doing it - don't do that clicking mobs crap.
I don't go anywhere without the Capt. and a rack of Coke and limes.
