Matticus-
I’m a mage with ~571 bonus damage. This isn’t my first 70 (my first two being a priest and a druid), and I was just wondering if this is sufficient enough to do heroic Mech. I remember Mechanar being the easiest Heroic back in the day, but I always tanked or healed it. Any suggestions on heroics for me to do?

Damuron, it always helps when the people you run with are those who you’re familiar with. I’ve started running heroics with players that I know because we’ve partied before or something. If worse comes to worse, then I hit the LFG queue.

I (70 warrior tank) have done so many heroics i lost count. i Have all the gear i can possbly get (25+33+50+41+41+50+100+75+ prolly more badges speent, never bought a nether however) and the most successful heroics i ran were always with the smae group of classes (or people for that matter) i dont really pug any1 esle but dps, never a healer i dont know or have run stuff with (b4 i started getting a little more picky)
So in order for the perfect instance run is having the proper group for that instance or even running with ppl you know and trust, and having about 2000 group dps (tank dps included) sure there may be a death or 2 but thats the name of the game and if your running with ppl you know and like that may not be that big of a deal

My favorite spot to wipe has got to be the top of the stairs in Heroic Ramparts. After the first little bridge in there, which still gives trouble, we do a great job, even with that guy who summons the two hounds. But when we get to the top of the stairs, with the 4 casters and one CC-immune melee guy, wow. We did make it past once, but any time we go back, that’s just horrible. That might be an example of a battle where strategy will only take us just so far, and now a bit better gear is necessary.

The core team does an awesome job of learning from wipes. As I said, we get better with each pull, and do a good job talking strat and improvements during our corpse runs

Amava, it’s all about Perseverance. But at the same time, be sure to look at it from a technical standpoint. What exactly is causing you to wipe? Is there a CC that’s not going off? Or the heals not powerful enough? Wiping for the sake of progression is good as long as you’re learning. Yet running your team against the wall repeatedly is not if you’re not learning or trying new tricks each time you’re in there. That’s an important lesson to learn whether or not you’re doing 10 mans, 25 mans, or 5 mans.

If you wipe, find out why so you don’t wipe because of that same reason.

Sometimes I think you doing something else and have an auto heal macro going

It scares me sometimes
