***Official Wrath of the Lich King Thread***(Contains spoilers)***

Hah, fair enough!

Is it hard to find one if there's no guild to rely on? I appreciate that you need to be really organised, so things like vent and so on are needed to keep people in line, so you aren't going to want randoms doing it? But if you don't have the numbers, sometimes you have to cross your fingers and hope!

Its a shame I'll miss the lower level raids, upper blackrock, molten core and so on.

Sadly actually experiencing those raids as they were is gone. You may be able to get a spot in one from trade ocassionaly, but it will just be lvl 80's facefolling the content for an achievement, no real sense of achievement.

Raiding at 80 at the moment however can be pugged. On our server, I have killed LK 25 normal with a pug, and done a fair few HC modes as well.

When levelling, dont worry about getting armor 'sets' just use quest items and any items you may pick up from dungeons. Generally speaking teir items are quickly replaced with the next level of questing content anyway (ie if you get an armor set from MC/BWL, you will quickly replace it from questing/dungeoning in outland)

Once you hit 80, basically get your badge set of gear (T9) by running dungeons, and hope for a lucky drop in VOA for some T10 legs/hands. After that you should be able to get into raids with other players from your server, just keep an eye out in trade (dont use the raid finder, hardly anyone uses it)
 
Well i should have mine tonight.

As someone wiht 100% attendence over last 7months, being melee role leader/officer. And Also someone that deals with recruitment, day to day runnings ect, i think mines deserved.

I will be keeping the Tabard, i already have the frost thingy item. Rest i will be raid rolling for the guildies to have. But the mounts we are saving for LK HC kill, and then we'll be raid rolling them all to people that have been commited to stay for the kills.

I've even recieved a ingame mail offering 150k gold for the tabard this week. I was like no thanks, gold means nothing, this tabard is lush, and very rare. With me sat at 100k gold getting that gold would be worthless to me.

I have seen some videos on youtube with warriors with shadowmourne and omg at the damage is reduculous in arena.

Thanks for the pointers. Of course, talking about it is the easy bit, got to get there first! And as for the sets, I see that now, spent Lv63-64 running stratholme and scholomance to try and get the set, went to outland and ran a dungeon, and found the gear was just so much better. D'oh!

Only set i count to be worthfull is the SWP/BT gear, as they wil take you all the way up to 80 and into some raids, we cleared all T9 content in SWP gear back at start of LK.

One of our DKs gave me the tabbard, it looks awesome on a Holy priest such as myself :D

Which was a complete mess that Blizz allowed. Allowing previous expansion gear to get you through the next tier destroyed peoples interest in the game. There reasons while noble were proved so wrong that they now need to produce an expansion and a half to keep peoples interest

CL myself here with 100% attendence.

Started the shard process tonight.

7 bosses down, 4 fragments. Will see what tomorrow brings. How about a screenie with you and the Shadowmourne (with tabard glowing) ;)
 
how quickly do you reckon i could level 2 chars to 80 and gear them in at least tier 9 quality gear?

would like to do it befor cataclysm in November.
 
Depends on how much you play per day really, going on 3-4 hours per day 3-4 nights per week, Id say its certainly doable. Especially with the BOA gear.

Of course the quickest way to do it would be to find a mate that would play one for you using recruit a friend :) Triple XP, grant levels to chars, I levelled my pala to 60 with a buddy in 2 weeks, he granted my druid 30 levels, and bam, I have a lvl 50 druid and level 60 pala in 2 weeks! (Pala now lvl 80, druid still at 60)

Havn't got the tabard yet, but how about blocked during syndragosia screenie, i'll get a full 9 shard screenie tonight:

Hate getting chain blocked :( gives me **** dps :(

Luckily enough got my 3 shards needed from first 3 bosses :D Then we went on to get 5 more shards for the next person to get them in a normal 11/12 clear.

I'm switching to dps main spec soon hopefully, i should be able to get the upgrades i need to be able to top dps charts. (will be going for arp capped frost).

Currently at around 12-14K on single target fights, a few certain upgrades would push that quite a bit higher
 
Yea i have a frost set, not arp capped and full 14k with it, my unholy set on Saurfaung i pulled 17k last night.

I have a full 264/277 tanking set too, as i'm our guilds 3rd tank, Just need 277 belt/boots for full offset, adn then tokens... but i'll not get them for a long long time tbh.

Im mainly in 251's to 264's in my dps set, switching around a few pieces here and there, regemmed Arp yestrerday to test as dps when we were a little low on peopleto get a full raid, got a couple of slight side/upgrades then.

Im happy with the way it's looking, managed to get Exp, and hitcappedwhile reaching 70% passive arp gemmed, dps wise i dropped a bit below my previous tries with pure strength gemming, however i can't really compare the two as i had much more latency problems this time round (new housewith a wireless conenction is a lot less conducive to performance than my previous almost perfect wired connection).

i just need to get my hands on either DBW or the RS trinket and then i'll be golden for hardcap, The other frost dk in our guild pulls ahead of me to about 14.5-15k however he does surpass me somewhat in gear (Toc25 trinket with hc dbw) and mainly bis items.


We're trialling a dk atm who seems to think that unholy is the worst for single target, and despite having gear mainly on par with our other frost dk, puts out less dps than me (11-12.5k) on saurfang or festergut, it disappoints me when i outperform people who are getting positive reviews on their trials.

I hasheditout with some guild officers the other night, the only reason i was tanking was because i was helping the guild through a time when our main tanks decidedt o quit (warrior, dk and pally) at around the same time, leaving it hard to get a raid together.

I pointed out that i don't enjoy tanking as a dk, but rather dps'ing as it allows me to compete with others to try and get the best performace, so hopefully i should be dps'ing soon.

I got a hc token yesterday (yay for crappy drop rates, we only seem to get conquerer tokens) but decided since my main spec isn't completely set in stone that i'd pass it to someone else, besides the piece i'd upgrading (legs) isn't really needed until i can get myself two Hc Bvb's, which will also allows me too drop a couple of pieces as i wont need the exp on them!

Will also be changing my enchanting profession to engineering for the extra dps boost, most likely dropping glove tinker in a macro with ua.

Oh mercy me i seem to have waffled on!

Edit :- Waso,is the text on the action bar buttons, the average damage to expect from those skills, if so is the addon DR.Damage?

Used it ages ago, but forgot about it completely, might have to drop it into mine.

Also is your rune counter part of tukui or standalone?

i perosnally used an addon called engraved as i prefer it's visual flair, but i might look at a more practical one that actively counts cooldown.

Might be worth considering the Heirloom gear. I blew a load of emblems of triumph on them for a new character I started, has really helped the speed I've been levelling at.
 
Its an addon mate, custom skineed to how I like it,

That is Dr Dmg you see, I just like to keep a track of small things like that, dunno why but just do :P

http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Twisting+Nether&cn=Dappy&gn=Rising+Sun

My armory link atm, 3 items off full icc bis, then just halion HM items to go. Ignore the specs, i was tanking VoA in tanking spec but dps gear, and then unholy is my pvp spec atm not raiding.

Frost and unholy are at very simular levels I must say. Full BiS they are on Par, with a blood being the best with full BiS items, and someone that can play the spec.

Once I have the halion HM trinket i will be blood again personally.


Edit: Runetimer is Archerus

A question on the heirlooms, I know they are bind to account, so does that mean I can use them on one char then pass them onto another? Obviously it would depend on classes, but if I have 2 plate wearing characters I could have 1 set of armour between them if I just use hairloom items?
