I have all 20slot + bags for my toons banks. When I'm farming heroics I don't want to have to stop for anything. I bank everything that I DO NOT NEED for heroic farming. This includes quest items/ mats/ pvp gear / 2nd spec gear etc... That way everyone has tons of room, and I can chain run as many heroics as I want without having to stop to vendor etc...
So I use instance timer to time my heroic runs, so I want to see a video of someone running 3 randoms in a row and getting an average of 15 minutes for 3 - 4 runs. I really think most people are not taking the real run time into account and instead doing guestimates.
So someone up to posting a speeded up version of a 4 man boss dungeon (excluding Gundrak due to it being an exception for speed) where they are doing the runs in 15 minutes? I really want to see this and learn from it if possible.
:)
The way that I have been timing my runs is how often do I refresh pally buffs
in most cases I can run 2 and be already into a 3rd as I refresh. Obviously ther are some heroics that will take 17min to 20min. I feel that the numbers given in his guide are very reasonable. If you are getting slower times maybe it is your gear or grp make up. I do not run a dedicated healer. 4 ele + a sham is a lot of dps I'm 5k + GS on all 5.
i got COT 3 times in a row earlierQuote:

I always time my heroics, i'll do some videos next week sometime if i have some time between studying
I've changed my pally team macros around a bit to be just a spam follow + divine storm type system, so that I can just cruise thru trash a little more efficiently, but even so I still can't loot quickly, I mean given server latency and such it takes an extra 5to 12 seconds to loot big pulls which adds up to around 6 minutes added for most heroics, my times are more like 25 minutes per, tho I know my pallys aren't super geared quite yet lol. I finally got 3 battered hilts bought and will finish the quests tonite on 3 of my paladins which should speed up my runs significantly since they're all in titan steel weapons currently. One thing I've noticed too if I tank on my druid it goes much quicker!
Druid /4 ret pallys might be the best way to go for sheer speed, but I'm still farming gear on all 5 pallys at the moment, lol ! Once I tag another 40 badges on that team I'll prolly take and swap my druid in for my pally tank and pug some 10 mans for him :)
This thread has been most informative.
Keep up the good work.

That way I never have to stop for supplies and can even carry less supplies food/water/regeants, etc...and can also repair if necessary! Also having an Argent Squire to access bank/mailbox has been quite invaluable as well.
I have jeeves :) You spent 10k gold I did not
then calculate how much gold you've spent leveling engineering and how much you have earned with it, compared so spending 1 time 10k :)Quote:
