Episode 9.2: Karazhan
Project Lore and pals take on Attumen the Huntsman and Midnight in Karazhan. What will this Death Knight have in store for Project Lore, an icy reception or an easy kill? Find out on this episode of Project Lore.
As Karazhan is a 10-man raid, the guys wrangled in five members of the Totally Rad Guild to help them out. Here are the armories for everyone involved: DrDark, Lylelovett, Goggins, Dorkins, Xenophontos, Manifesto, Talonni, Bastosa, Wyche, and Wilx. Everybody is ready for all of the bosses, so let’s see how things go.
Remember that our subscribe page has links for Project Lore all over the web. You can use our Episodes RSS feed or Twitter to find out when new episodes are out, and don’t forget to join our Facebook Group, Facebook Page, and MySpace.
More boss fights through Thursday at Noon Pacific, and Alexis will wrap things up on Friday at 3pm, so tune in!

yay finally!:D i couldn’t w8 till this episode:D
By wolfy on Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
dr. dark the reason he killed you was because you used blade flurry and when attumen popped up it hit him and gave you the aggro with = death to you
By Flyaxe on Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 at 12:08 pm
Looking forward to this one

Great episode. I enjoyed it. Don’t know how many times I’ve done this fight but this was still a lot of fun to see you guys run it. I especially enjoyed watching half of the room get pulled at once. Can’t wait for the next one.
By Jato on Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
nice chain pulling with a 12 pull

“There is no moon… There is only Zool.” Nice episode guys. Keep it up.
By Darnus on Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
Great episode guys, also, I believe DrDark died so fast because LyleLovitt needs to tank Attumen away from the group, he was just standing there while the ‘frontal aoe’, as you put it, killed you.
By Lilschass on Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 at 12:26 pm
Well first thought is… not much on discription on how to pull, and CC yes PL is about boss strat but wow. Also forgot to mention the aggro dump during the change to mount phase. I love the PL as they truely show excitement in playing the game but should make sure all the facts of the boss fight are mentioned.
By Torsha on Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
@Lilschass
Going to agree, a bit more talking about the aggro dump would be great for those people who 1) dont know the fight - 2) always forget and then die.
PL: Keep up the good work, and i know Kara is boring once you’ve cleared it a million times, but remember, not everyone has cleared it even once. Give those players some info on what strats work on trash and what doesn’t. If something needs CC (which there is hardly any needed in Kara) say it.
One last thing - More totems please
By Gerandor on Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 at 12:38 pm
Awesome ep, as always… Been saying that to like every episode so far.. should make a macro… ive still to do kara, and im really looking forward to it ^^
By Envain on Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 at 12:40 pm
It takes a few seconds till Attumen comes, you popped all your CDs including “blade flurry” that’s what aggroed Attumen and killed you.
By Promitheus on Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
Lol how did Alex remember that line from Ghostbusters:
There is no moon… There is only Zool
P.S - what is master looter i never used it?
By Torsha on Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
@Promitheus
Master Looter = you control all loot that is of Green, Rare, or Epic Quality (or higher) based on what you set it as. It is used to keep people from Ninja’ing all the loot. If you are ML and Ninja everything, Blizz laughs at the other players for letting you be ML.
By Kifeurstuf on Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 at 12:53 pm
During this fight if you have an off Tank warrior grab Attumen when he spawns and keep him Disarmed his Shadow cleave won’t it as hard. Also keep him Disarmed when they mount up and he wont hurt as much.
By Pliskan on Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 at 1:04 pm
Love the show its alot of fun. DrDark died do to having “Blade Flurry” going at the time they seperated, so he took aggro.
“Snake”
By Lilschass on Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 at 1:20 pm
Our strat is basically tank each one at the wagons.. so OT is actually tanking Midnight and MT takes Attumen when he appears. We then split them up to the two wagons in the room, this is mostly so no one gets cleaved by Attumen. ONce they join back up at 25% percent MT takes over and everybody heals and all are smelling Horse butt. Also if we have locks or other dots, should stop at 30% until they join because of aggro drop.
Oh yeah, lets get a druid in there.
By BG on Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
I just want to know who kept pulling the trash too early…
By Ikilu - Troll Rogue - Uther on Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 at 1:46 pm
Ok, Drdark, you need to pick better enchants, seriously.
40 stam 12 agil to your legs?!?!
Nothing on gloves or boots?!?!?
Please put +15 agil on your gloves, Cat’s Swiftness (+6 agil, incr run speed) or +12 agil on your boots and for the love of all that is holy get Nethercobra or Cobrahide leg armor. Stamina comes naturally and a good rogue doesn’t pull aggro. Besides, if you do pull aggro, you’re going to die whether you have 9700 hp or 6900 hp.
There are no excuses for a rogue who is featured on a show that teaches and guides people in this game to be poorly enchanted.
I really enjoy watching you guys for sure, and I’m not trying to say you’re a bad rogue out there but I’m afraid of the message that you’re sending to other young rogues who may look up to you and model their enchants/gems/spec after what they see on someone as high profile as you.
There are a couple questionable gear choices too but those are acceptable if they’re properly enchanted and gemmed in my opinion due to the nature of RNG on drops.
By Panna on Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 at 2:11 pm
Uh oh everyone is reaming DrDark ;p
By Wyche on Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
hehe
By Dreager on Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
Yeah….. not everyone can afford to go out and chant their items whenever they get new gear.
Leg chant for Drdark would cost 250-400g as opposed to like 40g for the Celfthoof armor kit.
Needless to say I still haven’t bought the Nethercobra armor kit for my rogue and prolly won’t any time soon.
By mabo on Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
You guys really should be teaching people to pile up. Every group I’ve ever gone with just sits on midnights ass. With a good pally tank, we don’t even need to tank huntsman. Then in phase 2 there are zero charges.
We also do curator the same way. by grouping up the orbs don’t stray very far and are easy for melee to kill.
This strategy becomes very important in later instances. The brutes in gruul’s lair need to be grouped up on or a lot of raid members will die as the tank looses agro.
By Wyche on Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
If memory serves - we weren’t exactly “happy” with the run. Minus the animal boss, this was the first bigger boss and it was hard to find our stride with half of us not being able to hear the other half.
The other five of us were in vent chatting and we had a feed to hear them - but they couldn’t hear us back except for raid chat - which isn’t super easy to take time to type, let alone read during a fight.
I know, excuses. But some background.
By Gene on Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
If you down a boss, then you did it right. Granted the strat the good Dr. gave wasn’t followed but if you have 9/10 still up and the boss goes down, then who needs the strat.
As for why DrDark died… when Attunmen appears, he’ll spawn and attack either the first thing in aggro range or jump into your group of healers. Midnight was tanked right around where he spawns and unfortunately it was on top of your face. Ya, other people mentioned the blade flurry but if midnight was tanked away from the spawn point then that might not have mattered. Most raid groups will tank Midnight further to the right so that Attunmen doesn’t one shot the melee DPS.
By Melvino on Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 at 8:11 pm
pretty funny that they get close to wiping on freaking trash, and they are in kara gear but yet they are still getting upgrades. have they heard of badge gear? lol..anyways its pretty cool seeing how other people do things, i wanna see them go through some t5 content.lol
By maxine on Tuesday, September 30th, 2008 at 11:44 pm
THERE IS ONLY ZOOL
dear alex,
this is really a show, and you are my hero to the point where it’s borderline disgusting. in a beautiful kind of way…
By Angarion on Wednesday, October 1st, 2008 at 12:00 am
haha love it
DrDark died again lol
By Sinful on Wednesday, October 1st, 2008 at 12:53 am
Thanks for making the episodes longer!
By Goosecomics on Wednesday, October 1st, 2008 at 1:05 am
The quietness of the trash pulls was a bit awkward. Like who wants to break the silence first awkward. Didn’t like that. Also everyone already mentioned that the group wasn’t really cohesive or insync to what was going on. Perhaps as Wyche said the lack of a single vent server where everyone was in.
We’ll see what happens with the rest.
By Rexel on Wednesday, October 1st, 2008 at 2:42 am
Nice episode… sort of…
For people who havent been there, isnt Attumen scripted, if he doesnt die in the first 25mins, the undead horses in the stables start to respawn causing a wipe on the boss fight? (not mentioned)
I wasnt particularly impressed with the marking up, most new groups would have wiped pulling that many, the benefits of being overgeared allowed you to scrape by in the stables….
By AriianafromFenris on Wednesday, October 1st, 2008 at 3:38 am
Drdark died because he used blade flurry immediately before attunmen spawned.
Keep up the good work, guys!
By Xore on Wednesday, October 1st, 2008 at 5:04 am
Dorkins FTW!
also, Good Job dudes!
By Illidan ftw on Wednesday, October 1st, 2008 at 11:06 am
@By Ikilu - Troll Rogue ///// Stfu let them play the way they want. People play and do as they wish. And dont listen to horde.
THanks
By Ikilu - Troll Rogue - Uther on Wednesday, October 1st, 2008 at 12:21 pm
no u.
When did I criticize how they played??? *checks previous post to make sure he isn’t about to swallow his foot* OK, we’re good. I dig this show (e-show?), I really do. In fact, I said this in my previous post:
“I really enjoy watching you guys for sure, and I’m not trying to say you’re a bad rogue out there”
But I followed it with this:
“but I’m afraid of the message that you’re sending to other young rogues who may look up to you and model their enchants/gems/spec after what they see on someone as high profile as you.”
That was my main point. He doesn’t have a glove enchant and +26 AP is almost free. So, given that, I thought there was a possibility that he was a bit lazy about it so I pointed out that people WILL follow what he does. He’s on tv!! (not really i know :p)
Maybe I came across too harsh elsewhere in the post. If so, I apologize.
I really do like the show. Keep up the good work. Just also please keep up the enchants
By Psythus on Wednesday, October 1st, 2008 at 1:47 pm
Yo! If by some chance DrDark can be alerted to this rogue request it would be awsome. We’d like to see your damage when the camera is from your rogue’s POV now that you’ve finally taken him back into the episodes!!
Rogues are some of the pickiest and most curious players when it comes to each other’s DPS and specs; as well as some of the most head-strong argument initiators lol. So, if you can make your DPS visible like the rest of the PL guys that would be awsome. If for some reason you can think of an excuse as to why I’m making a stupid request, then let it out haha.
- Psythus (NE Rogue, Illidan)
(The first, and only true PSYTHUS!) … lol, i am shocked at how many people I’ve found that have made renditions of my name since my first PVP videos years ago
..Not that everyone’s seen them of course
By Jeff on Wednesday, October 1st, 2008 at 7:59 pm
Call it early… call it late, but did i miss something that said why no episode on 10/1/08 (Oct. 1st, for non-Americans)…?
By Derik on Wednesday, October 1st, 2008 at 11:50 pm
WoW! My comment was deleted?!? I didn’t post anything bad just a suggestion to see the players health of who’s camera view we were on so we could see better how much damage they were taking. Example when Drdark died! But I guess you enough room for the person who posted “first”! I can see how that is more important!
By Kyle on Thursday, October 2nd, 2008 at 2:17 am
I agree, i would like to see a better interface so we could see the health bars better. Other than that it was a nice episode. Poor Dr.Dark got pwned!!
Also i’m curious what addons each of you are using and which you recommend.
By Eargy on Thursday, October 2nd, 2008 at 4:19 am
Great job on downing the 1st boss of Kara. Now I wanna see you guys down the Maiden in less than 3 minutes. Can it be done? Looks like project lore should find out. Oh and whats with the hunter… sheeesh

ther is a guy you can reparer to back after the boss
By burcemage on Friday, October 3rd, 2008 at 6:11 pm
I love the shows guys keep it up, I just think everyone has there own opinion on how too drop a boss in this game.
So dont be shy too learn new way and i dont copy my mage off other mage, i make my mage the way i like it.
But the main part of this is too see what a boss does.
They droped him and congrats.
By Discostud on Friday, October 3rd, 2008 at 7:18 pm
Dr.Dark: dunno if anyone mentioned this but I noticed you had blade flurry on when you fought midnight, so i think what happened was that when Attunmen popped, your blade flurry hit him, got aggro, and got killed by him
By Chris on Sunday, October 5th, 2008 at 11:08 am
Why didn’t everyone stack on the horse’s butt after they combined? No mention of aggro dump - it’s the only real challenge in this weak boss.
By Lifedragon on Sunday, October 5th, 2008 at 11:35 pm
my god u guys got the schematic. i have done that fight tons and it has not dropped yet
