Hey Abe,

Nice to see you consider to go holy at 70 ^^

Now, a piece of advice for all you lads there.

DS3 (Dungeon Set 3) is a must for every toon at 70, before considering raiding. Not only it is fairly easy to get (you just have to run instances), but provides a good headstart into advanced content such as raiding.

So, every toon should aim to get that. Moreover, if you can craft your own gear (casters - tailors, droods - LW etc), you will have a 3-piece epic set that will make a nice addition to your DS3, replacing some pieces and complementing others.

The drop mechanism is quite simple. Let's say the DS robe, for example. This drops of Murmur, last boss in Shadow Labyrinth and it can be like this: on this run, the Hallowed robe dropped, the next one, the lock robe will drop etc. So basically you know in advance that this boss will drop a DS3 piece, but you don't know the class it will be for :P

After you geared up in DS3 it's time for you lads to venture into heroic instances. Each boss in heroics will drop a token called "Badge of Justice" that will allow you to purchase some nice epics from a vendor in Shattrah.

Once you are pretty much purpled out, it's time to get to Karazhan ... and from there, the game will change for you ;-) And only sky will be the limit

Good luck guys and i'm only a /w away if you need any advice :))

That be some damn fine advice, Eleris, thank you.

We all still have to hit 70 yet, but at least we have an idea of what we need to do then to progress.

http://www.wowwiki.com/Beast_Lord_Armor looks great, but the note of the drop rate is scary!

this is cool. theres been a big shift in they way the higher lvl 60 lads have been playing this week, from full groups questing together and the PVP stuff. Its a hell of alot more fun than grinding up the xp doing solo questing and runing around like headless chickens.And Eleris ill be sending a few /w to you for advise over the next few days. :?:

Forgot to add something about heroic instances.

You access them by buying a so called "heroic key" from different factions. You will need (at least) Honored reputation with them and be level 70 :)

Those are:

Sha'Tar - for Tempest Keep instances (Mechanar, Botanica, Arcatraz)
Lower City - for Auchindoun instances (Shadow Labs, Mana Tombs, Sethekk Halls, Auchenai Crypts)
Thrallmar - for Hellfire Citadel (Ramparts, Blood Furnace, Shattered Halls)
Cenarion Expedition - for Coilfang Reservoir instances (Underbog, Steamvault, Slave Pens)
Keepers of Time - for Caverns of Time instances (Old Hillsbrad Foothills, Black Morass)

How do you get a key? Once you hit honored go to the faction quartermaster and you can purchase it. Note that all members of the party need to have the key in order to access heroic mode.

In heroic, all mobs are 70+, they hit a lot harder and bosses have additional abilities. Therefore, you need some good gear to be able to tackle them, but the rewards are also nicer (epics drop here, as well as some epic gems and Primal Nethers, used to craft special epic gear, as well as Badges of Justice)

Heroics are a good source for gear pre-raids and it's advisable to run a fair bunch of them before venturing into 10-man raiding, not only for gearing up but also for perfecting team play.

From the above instances, i find Shattered Halls the hardest to tackle (7-mob pull is so ftl), on par with Shadow Labs and Black Morass. On the other side, Ramparts and Blood Furnace are quite easy once you figure the quirks of the bosses so it's advisable to start tackling heroics by doing these.

Should any of you lads need more hints, let me know, I can also assist you class-wise for locks and mages, I'm afraid I don't know too many things about other classes tho :\

Aye cheers for the good advice Eleris.Nice to see you here also:)

I only ever healed 1 heroic and got as far as the 1st ramparts boss.Found it very hard healing actually.As soon as the lads hit 70:P I will demand they come to the Tempest Keep instances:)Imo they are the best.Especially mech which is not very long and the last boss is the easiest imo.

I agree with Eleris from what I'm told the Shattered Halls Heroic is meant to   one of the hardest along with Black Morass.

I'm more of a PvE character then a PvP atm tho:)

Regards

Shano

For heroics you're best taking two healers with ye until you get used to them, or get better gear.

Anything above D3 (T4+) will be a raid group, so 10 to 25 people all with decent gear. Think you'll have to get something a wee bit less than that set first Boru ;)
