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!

Wow… Also known as WORLD OF WARCRAFT…. If you ever wondered what all this is about, or if you’re already an epic Player…
You’ve found my site! We will be sharing ANYTHING about WoW here in a warm atmosphere.
THE BEGGINING OF A WOW ADVENTURE
You may know me as Luthîel (80 Paladin, Sylvanas, EU)
I am a 19-year-old college student, studying at the Aegean University.
A regular gamer wandering among all of you….
Having a regular life based on school, friends and computer games, I was pretty familiar to most MMORPG games. However I never actually wanted to buy and play an online game untill a friend of mine (Gwen, 80 Troll Priest)
introduced me to the game..
There are various games going on as we all know, but WOW had something different.. Something more than the others.
Something that made it worth to play…
Detailed Graphic effects, features of all the different territories, character picturisations, sound effects, gameplay effects and interractions…..
Everything a gamer could want was just in there!
A Hardcore PVPer, PVEer or a Dedicated RPer… Whatever you like, you could definitely satisfy your expectations of a game in the World Of Warcraft.
Besides all the satisfying graphics, sounds and doables ingame, WoW actually has an epic story..
We all know that the Warcraft Series are the beggining of the World of Warcraft lore. Since Warcraft I, to see how the story improved to The Fall Of The Lich King (Patch 3.3) is simply stunning.
After a while for me to learn how the game works, me and my friends startedto play WoW together. I improved myself, learned all the tips to become an epic player, and unfolded my very own adventure in the World Of Warcraft.
There are various race/class combinations in the game so it might be hard to pick one at first. Trying wont hurt. After levelling a warlock to 70 at first, I figured out all the other races and classes and made my last decision on a Blood Elf Paladin (Yes I am on the horde side >:D ) We always have the time to level another character so making the first decision shouldnt be so overwhelming anyway.
Everything was set. A newly born Blood Elf Paladin: Luthîel was standing there in the Sunstrider Isle, staring at her own future which is a 1.5Year story now…
Levelling was a little slow in the beggining.. But with the help of some AddOns it became quicker.(AddOns. We will discuss all about them later on)
As Luthîel discovered the world further and grew stronger, the game got more interesting.
During the levelling phase I made a lot of friends ingame. I felt more confortable as I learned more and more about the game.
Went to new territories, slayed new monsters, learned more about the lore from quests… That level 1 paladin was gaining power quickly and not more than 15days she was already 55. (TBC days when the level cap was 70)
After more grinding and hardwork she was finally level 80 Prot Paladin but The Lich King expansion was released that night. What are the odds !! Just as I thought everything would start then I had to level to 80 again but it didnt bother me.
More grinding more questning and more hardwork and she was finally 80.
Discovering the new areas on the new continent was thrilling. A snowy, big continent with new factions, monsters and cities.. Fascinating!
But it wasnt over yet. When you are level 80, the game just starts then and we all know it. My little paladin was now going to jump into a whole new world with dungeons, raids, guilds, good and bad times…
