its going to be tough as a regular group. I suggest farming up some pvp and supplementing that with heroic reward gear. Make sure to max your valor each week. Mages are easy because they can bypass almost all the damage from the first mobs through sheer dps and crowd control. I would suggest a 350 min for a traditional group. Have fun strafing out of the black stuff!
I was doing this fine with a paladin and four shaman for a few runs.. but then I started thinking is a 10 man normal raid ok to get the drops? I tried changing to heroic and it said i couldn't enter since I haven't done a quest line.
Can someone just confirm if i should be doing heroic or not.
Normal is ok for trash drops. Or at least it was a few months back.
just to throw this out there, don't know if you know it or not, but. they removed all boe drops off of the easy trash mobs (the ones that are shown in beeq's video) only the big trash has a chance to drop the boe's now. and even that drop rate has been nerfed. Firelands trash was nerfed big time too as far as drop rates are concerned. but once u get ur team up to snuff, id def go into firelands just to grind some rep, the gear you can buy with rep is quite awesome IMO.
When did they do that?
from what i was told + acutally killed seems to be around 4.1 or 4.2ish. but i've went in a few times and the small trash no longer drops anything but gold and cloth (a grey here and there) only the bigger trash has a small chance for boe's. they done the same in firelands too, at first it was a gold mine for boe's but they lowered the drop rate on it as well.
