Hey. bbb keep running naxx you can beat the spider boss np if you can burn down the vault boss before the enrage timer. You guys have plenty of dps you just need to fine tune your attack strat. gl guys .

Hi! Just wanted to say I love your blog. =) And I have been leveling my shammy as elemental and am loving it! It’s like having a non-squishy mage who can heal… kinda kick ass. Not to say I don’t love my mage, and she lives through everything since she’s frost, but I really am enjoying elemental on my shammy. Also, I tend to pug a lot on my shammy… I offer myself up as DPS who is willing to heal if need be and tend to get a lot of invites. With spellpower gear it’s pretty easy to heal even a bad pug group if you don’t mind healing on occassion. Anyway, just my two cents, keep up the good work! <3

Hey B – love your blog (even if my work computer gets angry at it).

Something that you might want to try with your uber bear tanking for Noob Beetle (Anub) particularly if your struggling with the enrage – just stay in and eat the swarm damage. Have your off tank and melee pick up and kill the add that spawns (they all run out just before the swarm and tank the add next to the healer). 3 healers should be able to keep you all up without any worries. This means the ranged can stay on the boss so you get much higher dps.

We did this for our first ever Naxx kill in heroic gear / badge gear – just make sure everyone is out of swarm range (about 30 yards).

You could probably level the shaman as resto mostly instance grinding … can’t find a healer for love or money in Outlands now. Just herds of Death Kniggets.

Also you are supposed to be writing PBEM, chop chop :P

Pig: rogues are terribly scarce now for some reason, I bet you’d be in demand as a rogue. As much as any dps class ever is anyway.

My god, I HATED Blackrock Depths. Its one of the longest rpre-endgame instances I’ve ever been in. Took me 3-4hr the 1st time i did it.

Copey, don’t forget Stratholme/ Baron mounts too. That’s probably the easiest to solo.

Hey there!
I hope you’re ok with me asking this in the comments section. I’ve sent you a number of emails on various topics and I wonder if I’m getting through your filters even though directions were followed.

In any case, I thought of this when you said you were leveling your Shaman. My immediate intention was to level my druid to heal. I’d started out with a warrior, tanking, and I always just wanted a healer. Go figure, the girlfriend picks up a healing class so I’m tanking now. I want to work on an alt, but not necessarily one that could heal. Honestly, I’ve kept a second set of gear that I could do regular 80 instances with healing and I like the mechanics of dr00d healing.

What would you recommend as an alt? I’m thinking Mage, maybe rogue or Shaman. I cringe at the thought of playing another caster after my lock, which I hated. Shaman seems SO boring right now. Rogue seems fun.

Me and another well geared feral druid are going to start “Mount Farming” every week. Attumen is on that list and is easily taken down by two feral druids. We had a rogue with us last week when we started this, but I’m confident it could be easily two manned. I must say though the multi mob pulls before you get to him will probably have you popping some cool downs to survive it if you do it solo.

It’s pretty entertaining to run around the entire game to go farm mounts. Currently on the list are Attumen, Anzu, and the ZG bosses. I’d be pretty happy if just one of the three dropped for us.

I’ve also read that all of Kara can be two manned, and that it is highly profitable. I want to try this eventually.

“And I know, I’m only mentioning it to annoy the folks that have the curiosity of a cat.”

Damn you :P

Attumen is totally doable as a feral druid. It will take you a loooong time, especially with the curse (50% chance to miss), but totally doable. I usually try and convince a healer and a DPS to come with me and we can actually do just about all of Kara that way. I try and make sure to get in there every week for the mount and enchant drops.
