Can't reforge stam, I've heard stuff about mastery being good to get back to the old 102.4% number, though I haven't looked into it too much.

I'm trying to find a high pop ally PvE realm with a good pug environment. XD Ty though.

Lexa, its a packed old server and i hear its kinda gay, but... I am on US Proudmoore, and while post 4.0.1 there hasnt been as many pugged raids going, there is rarely a prime tuime that isnt filled with a few pugs. Right now, 11est on a thursday night(not sure what your schedule.playtime is) there are 2 icc25 gdkp shouting for members, a few icc10, togc and some odds and ends. I play very casually now so I cannot speak much for progression raiding, but feel free to pm me, or just make an alt on PM and go read trade chat... if your brain can handle trade chat. Mine is slightly worn after a few minutes.

For heroic lich king 10, you're supposed to burn down the shambling horrors so you don't have two beating on the off tank, right? It seems like there's too much damage going on in that fight to let them sit there beating on your tanks, I don't think it's a post patch problem since healing surge is god like....

IIRC, (been a while since I did HLK10) you're supposed to manage the disease and use stuns/tranq to get around enrage and frenzy. Should be able to push LK shortly after the 2nd horror, and let it die during the ice phase.

Scooted over to the tiger boss and since AoE from Ret is so low right now it took me like six tries to get to phase 2 which is still easy. Pretty stupid taking all soloing ability away though.

Haha, it's the complete opposite for shadow priests. I got about +50% health and +20% physical damage reduction and at least 30% dps increase in my PVE gear. None of my abilities changed so I don't even have to learn anything new. I've been soloing Anzu, H MGT, raptor boss, tiger boss, and Attumen every lockout, takes like 30 seconds per boss.

EDIT: I hope something drops soon, I have 110 mounts, but not a single ground mount worth riding

Actually, nvm, i thought you were asking for normal. I dont know how you deal with them in 4.0.

Yeah it's really stupid at this point, I'm pretty sure my Mage could solo ZG more efficiently than my Paladin. Tanking classes have always been the best soloing classes and I don't see why they just said fuck you to paladin but made it even easier to solo as other classes. I dunno about DKs and Ferals but Warriors still have Enraged Regen AND a tier 1 blood craze.

**Kaylia** · 2010-10-22 02:07

Do you have any idea if paladin are bitching a lot? Blizzard is probably going to un-nerf us if enough people cry >_>

Blood DK's mastery effect puts an absorb shield everytime we use death strike. So we gain back health+have a small shield. I have 0 issues soloing h mt/h seth halls/ZG/kara mounts.

I don't read the paladin forums very often but the few times I dropped in it seemed like it, I heard that a thread went to cap about how bad paladins where now. Honestly though I think people are more mad at the fact that our DPS and Tanking just kind of suck now, which I'm sure will be fixed soon (Personally I'd like to see them be more active at fixing bad classes like Ret than nerfing good classes like Mage). My main problem is even if they made DPS/Tanking good I wouldn't want to play it because they removed all soloability which is what I do to burn time between raids and shit.

So yeah Blood which was already ridiculously strong at soloing is now even better when Paladins have to forgo holy power to do so.

**The Stig** · 2010-10-22 03:21

The damage output on Blood DKs also increased by 2k at least. Basically before I could only put out 2k or so DPS (although I suppose this is dependant on gear but assume 5100 GS). Post patch, my armor upgraded but not my weapons, I can easily dish out 4-5k now thanks to the increased power of Death Strike and Heart Strike (which hits 3 targets instead of 2 now) and also Insta-Rune Strikes.

I haven't tried soloing again/yet, but I might go after Heroic Magisters' Terrace to see how I perform as I want the phoenix pet off the end boss.

EDIT: if it gets too hard/overwhelming i'll revert back to normal =)

EDIT2: apparently it don't drop in heroic, so nevermind XD (according to wiki)

**Krye** · 2010-10-22 04:00

Phoenix Hatchling Dropped By: Kael'Thas 4%

Phoenix Hatchling Dropped By(Heroic): Kael'Thas 6.5%

I got mine by farming for the mount which only drops off heroic.

**Kaylia** · 2010-10-22 04:03

I probably tossed 10 phoenix, never saw the mount.

[edit]
Actually, I did on my very first run, and someone else won it. Never running mount instance again with people.

**Falaras** · 2010-10-22 04:22

I got the mount on my first run ever and the pet less than 5 later.

Can a Mage solo the BC dungeons on HC? Never actually PuG'd them while I was leveling and tempted to try but being as squishy as I am I'm hesitant.

Probably doable as frost.

Highly doubt it, I tried one or two while grinding Cenarion Rep and found it to be pretty hard (maybe with 4.0 itll be easier though)

**Wintermute** · 2010-10-22 05:40

Well I just realised I can't access most of the HC anyway due to keys so I'll give one or two Normals a try later today.
