That's the thing, you're supposed to do normal cap dungeons, rep up, and finish off the 84/85 questlines for ilvl 318 and 325 blue rewards so that your group isn't so fresh. Once you have mostly 325+ gear, all heroics are doable with a good team.

FUCK YOU PERFECT TIMELESS NIGHTSTONE FUCK YOU! IF I WANTED FUCKING CRAFTING LUCK I WOULD FUCKING PLAY SQUENIX GAMES OK? FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Reinstalling in attempts to fix some games issues although I'm doubting it will. Thank god for 1.6mb/s download speed.
Exploring on a Trial character, hit Desolace and get DC'd. Now I can't log back in on that character. Something there must be corrupt and causing the DC? Still having the skinless/textureless bright green monsters/mounts running around. Tried doing a repair. Will have my main character back soon.. want to make sure everything is working correctly. Blah.
Browsing the WoW forums I see people reporting crashes and DCs, so I might just be in that boat. Still haven't seen anything on the weird green models(as I mentioned in the question thread a few days ago.) Hoping it'll get resolved with a reinstall. If all else fails I'll try going back to my old video drivers as I have the newest ones installed. Might be an issue.
Guild experience nerf. Not only that it happened but HOW they did it. They nerfed each persons contribution, further increasing the desire to just mass recruit people to hit the cap. If they wanted guilds leveling slower just lower the fucking cap. I'm in a 4-person guild of friends atm, we're not even level 2 yet and probably won't be to any reasonable level until the end of the fucking expansion because of this. Granted, 4 person is really low, but my mains guild isn't hitting the cap as is and they've got a solid number.
I guess this is supposed to be their way to support interest in 25m raiding, by forcing you to have 100 guild members to cap guild exp each day and then they'll all want to raid.
Already annoyed me they made guild achievements not worth exp. I was going to work on grinding those out.
Complaint: finding a guild that a) raids on weekends and b) can form a complete sentence in their own god damn recruitment thread.
Fuck.
those adds are slowable and have low hp, that's probably easiest fight in the instance
same deal with the 3rd one actually lol... or is that the 2nd? the drake one
I started without even having proper ilvl as tank (made crafted pvp set then realized it allowed me to queue), and was running with dps whose gear was just as low, only shit that wasn't doable was first boss of grim batol cuz sooner or later he'd just gib me.
I couldn't give judgement on deadmines though, and first boss in sfk probably would have been insanely hard on the healer.
But yeah, point being, if you actually have the ilvl to queue you shouldn't have any issues unless you get like a bad random setup with basically no cc.
Also, repeating from another thread: locks are hax in cata.
My random complaint:
Fucking lol barad.
Priests bitching about how their healing is hard.
... its not. Are we as good as other healers? I wouldn't know, considering I haven't done heroics with other healers.
Granted, I changed from disc back to holy because to me holy is better for 5-mans. Personal preference, I did this back when I started wotlk heroics as well. The remedy to this to stop doing randoms with pugs. I go in as a guild to all my heroics, and I'm almost always at full or close to full mana.
I visit the Priest forum on the WoW site and its full of people QQ'ing about how hard healing is now as a Priest.
Also we're also a small guild. We're sitting at 7; we're all RL friends. Trying to find 3 more competent people to start doing raids with, but we won't be starting straight away.
Had this epic day of questing planned out so I can hit hit 85... Then I remembered patch Tuesdays.
I guess in the meantime I'll work on making some macros. I want to be lazy on my Hunter again and not have to work for my dps.
I'm having absolutely no trouble healing heroics as a shaman, took a while to get used to Cata healing and new shaman spells but I'm sorted now. Our priest was having a bit more issues but I've taken over in my group now. Not tried raids yet.
Oh man I hear you. Why is it so damn hard to find a good guild that raids late on the west coast. One that doesn't feel the need to raid 6 nights a week would be nice also. It's so frustrating that I didn't even bother to find a guild in WOTLK and just pugged most shit.
Also why are healers so terrible for the most part in Cata, has healing really changed that much. It seems like only 1 out of 4 healers actually knows what they are doing anymore. Like yesterday I had a Shaman Healer who couldn't keep me up through the first trash pack in Heroic HoO and told me it was my fault and then promptly left the group. We replaced him with a Druid with worse gear than the Shaman had and we never had a problem the rest of the instance. Had the same thing happen in Heroic BRC, the Healer was not only having a terrible time keeping our group alive but also couldn't figure out you have to run away after the chains are killed on the first boss, and got mind controlled three times on the second boss because he insisted he be on one of the beams. Too bad he couldn't heal and tell how many stacks he had even on a boss that does no damage. And then he bitches when our Warlock gets MC'ed because he got feared back into a beam immediately after stepping out of one. While I'm at it I guess I'll bitch about DPS too. How is it that at the beginning of an expansion the DPS can be so widely varied. Like I had two hunters in two different groups in similar gear and one did like 11k DPS over the course of the instance, the other was struggling to get above 6k. And it seems like every group I've had I'm second in DPS as the freaking Tank. Fuck I hate the random dungeon finder.
Healing in cata is massively different.
That doesn't excuse your healers for being retards, but thats what you get for joining the Retard Dungeon Finder.
Why the fuck did blizzard decide to make tinkers random discoveries? I have every tank, melee, and PvP tinker but cannot get my fucking INT glove cooldown which is the primary reason for taking engineering. After pooring 25k into Engi to get it to 525 I would like to be able to use the perks for the profession but I continue to have to poor money into this shithole.
