Wow. Grats on the achievement. I know it was a long, grueling road. What was your progression?

[Bot]

firstly grats! and secondly is that where you keep you chat box all the time or was it just for the ss?

[sojolly]

I looked at your specs and gear on the armory. Interesting gear mix, a lot of PVP gear. Some ideas there, since i dont PVP, i usually dont look at pvp gear for ideas.

[Dominian]

Thanks! :)

Chatbox is there for the SS!

I actually started with pve but only to get the emblem shield on my shamans.. Ran 1 paladin and 4 elemental shamans then!

Managed to clear UK,Strat,Gundrak(never tried Eck thought) and Drak Thalon before the elemental buff. (gear was red thought, came back a few weeks ago and took him first try by clicking my tool bars!!) :P Ofc on the paper theese were cleared alot later and Eck would have been hard with the enrage timer.

But my order is something like:

UK
GunDrak
Drak'Thalon
CoS
UP
HoL
VH
Azjol-Nerub
The Nexus
The Oculus
Old Kingdom
HoS

Here is the order i wish i did it in:

UK
Drak'Thalon
CoS
GunDrak
HoL (would recomend atleast 14-15k HP on every char and a strong aoe healer vs Loken, rest of the instance is pretty easy with 2 healers)
VH (Depends on the bosses ofc)
The Nexus
Old Kingdom
Azjol-Nerub
HoS (I barley managed the Brann event but its certainly doable, even in my gear!) Last boss could have been cleaner but i got the job done! :P
UP
The Oculus

I didnt find the Brann event that hard realy, took me 5-6 tries.. Mana wasnt a issue so chain lightning was the key to kill fast enough! I was no were near surviving the encounter but you only have to keep Brann alive long enough for him to kill them!

The Oculus is certainly the worst, not only do you need to write complete new macros but the fight is something im not used. Add that with the fact that the "tank" dies soo fast and a miss click means death, and thoose lightning balls doesnt make things easier either. The Oculus took me 10-12 hours play to complete, first 3 bosses arent tobad. (i might have gotten abit lucky on the second one, but i never went back so its hard to say since i never done that encounter solo!

Gratz. I can see that you are running a hunter.
May I ask what spec?

I have been running 3 hunters/ 1paladin / 1 priest for a while,
but I have been having trouble with the prince in UK.

I'm now changing to 1 paladin / 4 shamans,
but seeing that you have a hunter in the mix makes me consider putting my level 80 hunter into the mix as well.

[Dominian]

Atm my hunter is survival since i do a few matches of pvp when im tired of pve!

Survival is basicly impossible to macro due to the random tnt proc, so BM or MM would be alot better! Atm his dps is very low, around 1100-1400 on singel target mobs!

Next patch MM will get decent buffs and you can actually macro a very good rotation acording to the pros, i havent spent any time trying to figure out a decent macro thought.

Some nice tools the hunter bring:

Masters call
Various pet abilities
Tranq shot (remove enrage's like the last boss in GunDraks enrage)
An ok cc that you have to do manually thought! (Frost arrow)
Mortal strike (if specced, not useful in manny encounnters thought)

I would recomend you to go resto on a shaman if you bring a hunter since 3 elemental shamans will struggle compared to 4!
