The Long Hard Road To Being Full Epic
Luthîel was finally level 80 but to be honest the gear was crap.
All the blues and greens and the low HP wasnt good. We all know the long hard road to being fully epic..
All the struggle to find Heroic dungeon groups or people who can handle your undergearedness….
We’ve all been there. If you have the right proffesions and a little gold you could make your first few epic pieces yourself but you still have to get more.
We’re talking about the Ulduar days here. The Hardest raid is ulduar, and no ToC or ICC yet.
With the help of my guild, and ingame friends a got myself a little more better in gear but that still wasnt enough as a Tank.
So I decided to respecc as Holy since we all know healers are needed and people will accept you if you can keep them alive in dungeons and raids.
A Holy paladin with 12K HP and 13K UB Mana wasnt acceptable.. I kept grinding marks and got a few epics.
Heroics are the best way to get marks and first epics. Easy and fast.
After a really long while with grinding HCs Luthîel was finally an acceptable holy paladin with 19K UB Hp.
Then comes the first raids. The most exciting part of PVE.
Those days we had Naxxramas, Obsidian Sanctum, Eye Of Eternity and such.
Luthîel kept healing those raids and when the new patch with Trial Of The Crusader came she was ready for it.
After a few big repair bills and weeks, there she was, a decent geared holy paladin ready for ICC.
Now she is (even thought not the best- one of the finest) an awesome paladin with 26K UB Mana, 2.529 Spell power and 368 MP5.
It might seem like a lot of work to gain all those items but if you have the right proffessions, and tips it’s not that hard at all. The new LFG system is also really helpfull to gear up. Just grind some heroics, get some marks and buy items with them!
We will be discussing all the work which needs to be done to become an epic player here.
- Get the right proffesions (e.g: for a paladin BS/Mining can be good to make gear, or Herb/alch, Mine/JC to make gold)
- Start with grinding heroics and get the highest level epics you can at first to improve both your gear score and stats.
With the new LFG system you can go into every HC as much as it comes .. No such thing as “I’m saved” on the Random HC Tab
- Get a friendly guild which can grind old Raids like Naxxramas or has the patience to take you to good raids and gear you up.
- Remember to always take your flasks before going to raids to improve your DPS or HPS.
We will be discussing all this further, stay tuned!
