Hi Jez,

I thought that might be it too, but it was visible. So, I’ve added a page to Bar 1, double checked that the pet bar is visible. We’ll see what happens this weekend.

Grats on your first Kara clear Kestrel Regarding your non-visible chess piece bar – I think I know the solution. I too use Bongos and when I did chess on my druid realised I had made the pet bar non-visible – therefore no bar for my chess piece. So maybe check that.

A couple of thoughts came to my mind as I read your post – have you got LittleWigs installed? It’s a small version of BigWigs boss mod, just for 5 man instances and stuff. It might help you time your dashing about on the Murmur fight (which is HARD, yes, I agree).

Another thing is that it’s not bad form to heal yourself – you can the tank share equal place for healing in my books – either of you down generally means running. In the panic stages – Shield up at all times, POM yourself first, use binding heal on you and a tank (or other squishy if you have time). Take a mana pot as soon as you’re low enough if you think the fight is gonna last a while (gives you more freedom to use less efficient heals), then use shadowfiend when low again, by this time you’ll be out of cooldown to take another potion. I used to eat potions like nothing (getting a friendly engineer to make you a potion injector saves on bag room).

Good luck!

Yeah; I use PitBull and Bongos, and my keybindings are all customized. But thanks for reminding me to check Shift-1; I’ll at least bind SOMETHING to that switch.

Shadow Lab on Normal is pretty easy, except for Vorpil (yeah, I think even murmur is easy in Normal). And the key to Vorpil is to drag him ALL THE WAY down the hall, into a corner. On the first port, drag him to the opposite corner. A well-geared group can kill him then (we actually got him about 2 sec after 2nd port).

I know that my imp’s bar turns into my piece’s control bar during chess, and also my No. 1 toolbar does as well (Shift-1 is the default keybinding to display it).
I haven’t run Heroic SLabs yet, that instance on Normal mode scared the heck out of me.

Like Ratshag, I can’t be bothered with the details.

Sounds like a productive Father’s Day weekend!

I honestly think Magisters’ Terrace is the instance people love to hate. So many people run it even after wiping again and again. (The drops are good, but that’s besides the point.)

I can’t imagine what it’s like to heal. I think it would be too many things I have to focus on. I can handle trapping and shooting, but healing so many people will break my concentration.

PS. Magtheridon is a Pit Lord, not a dragon.
