    Besides, people did take T3 gear into Karazhan at the start, except that they were 70s wearing T3, not 60s wearing T3. The fact you needed a flying mount to attune at that point screened all of those out.

    Actually, people took T3 gear all the way to Illidan: the first Chinese guild to down Illidan, The Seven, had quite a few people wearing T3 pieces in their Illidan killshot.

    Were that actually their main pieces of gear, or were they just wearing them for shits and giggles?

    Well, they got from level 60 to killing Illidan in 52 days, so I'm guessing it was their actual gear.

    T3 is worse than 70 blues. :|

    eh warhammer was a bust for me. tried it for three weeks got to level 14 on my witch hunter and then started thinking about leveling a rogue on wow. Then sigheth, I'm back and hiding from my guild so they don't make me heal something. LOL. Although, doing some of the 25man raids is awsome, did ssc for the first time the other night. 25 man healing is so much fun :).

    It led to a pretty epic finish for the Kara run I was on. I think we were running up the spiral staircase to Prince when the 3 minute warning came up, pulled him at 1:45, and got the nathrezim mindblade and hero helm distributed (but maybe not the farstrider wildcloak) just before the server went down.

    He never trained First Aid. As a Hunter, he went from 1-70 without First Aid saying he didn't need it. We repeatedly told him he would need it for raiding. Then we all forgot about it until that moment.

    I kinda wish bandages went a little further, or healed a percentage of your health to keep them scaling. Heavy Netherweave Bandages were bloody fantastic for topping myself up in the early 60's, but when you're running around with 16000HP they start feeling pretty insignificant.

    I got that. Don't worry too much about AV, just clear out all the starter quests of every race (they give large piles of rep), use Wowhead to find the rest of the 250-and-up rep lowbie quests, and then top it off with some Runecloth.

    Undead: Do Deathknell, Brill, finish off any quests around in Tirisfal Glades, then head to the Sepulcher and do however many Silverpine Forest quests you need. I got about halfway through Silverpine and was done with Undercity.

    Orgrimmar/Darkspear: Do the Valley of Trials, Durotar, and head to The Barrens if necessary.

    Silvermoon: Since you're doing this on your rogue, I guess, check Ghostlands and Eversong Woods and make sure you did every single available quest there. I know I skipped a lot of them.

    Happy: Cairne, Sylvanas, and Lothremar down last night. The resistance we encountered Monday night had all but vanished. Guess the people got their City Defender achievements and just didn't care anymore. Tonight we'll go back and do Cairne and Sylvanas again, for the opposite raids as last night, and then a majority of both guilds involved will have black bear mounts (I still need Thrall, bah). Cairne was actually really easy, with a surplus of tanks. Sylvanas was a pain in the ass, just because she likes to port and shoot people. That took a good 20 minutes.

    Heh, seriously. Especially as you can level FA way higher than your actual health bar requires, so one or two ticks at lower levels would heal me to full.

    To be fair I never leveled FA on my druid until I started raiding, because I was like "I have healing spells, I don't need that!" but it's just useful sometimes.

    Regarding city boss raids, there's already 2 things which have come up, mainly to do with priests, which make it much harder.

    Guardian spirit healing the boss for a tonne, and the dispel Glyph doing it's fair share as well.

    Yes, it's a first, being afraid of a holy priest in pvp.

    I've got 375 first aid on all of my characters, and feel that the expense is easily justified by the number of times I've pulled someone's (often my own) chestnuts out of the fire with a timely bandage during a silence, or when I'm out of mana, or when I know it's going to be a LONG fight and I just want to top someone off while regen'ing mana.

    It's not something you're necessarily going to use every day, but as pointed out, it's better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it.

    Hate: I suck at affliction. I mean, I know I CAN do it, I was affliction through most of tier 5 content, which wasn't any easier than 3.0+ affliction (add Haunt, but Corruption is often refreshed without player action). Affliction is one of the harder DPS specs to play, but I USED to do competitive DPS with it. I'm just a mess now though. Between not having raided for a month or so and suddenly having to juggle five or six spells and a pet and working on Kil "I have fifty abilities you have to be aware of and watch your BigWigs bars and run around in circles to DPS adds too" Jaeden... My DoT uptime is abysmal. Never mind the lag that means I occasionally THINK I was casting a spell when the server thought otherwise, or the forty-debuff limit when every class has a handful of debuffs on the boss so my spec that entirely relies on a large number of debuffs gets fucked...

    Bleh. Maybe I should try demo. If only I could remember to pull my pet back for AOE of OMG Get in the Bubble every time.

    I'll have to do that, the only problem is that it's going to be hard to find low level quests without some kind of low level quest tracker. I know Blizzard was planning on implimenting one, but compiling a list of NPC's to talk to in all the low level areas to get all the quests sounds mighty time consuming.

    Also I'll need to decide whether to get the title on my Rogue or Paladin... D:
