I'm interested to see what kind of XP you can get while timewalking, could be a fun way to actually do dungeon leveling through content that has almost no leveling dungeons (basically cata onwards).

Not sure about that but I tend to cross into the next expac, and then using the dungeon finder tool do each of the previous expacs instances on hc.. that gives some nice xp.
But these are event based, so not available outside the event.
When I was leveling my team earlier today I figured I'd try one of these. Level 72 seems to be the minimum (seeing as I didn't have an option to join one at level 71), and I ended up in Arcatraz.
I couldn't even kill the (technically) third pack of elites!
This Protean Nightmare pack just kept handing me my ass, and it was never a close fight. Even the first two packs (two sets of two Hunters) took a lot of DPS to take down. I gave up after a few attempts on the Protean Nightmare and just went back to normal WotLK dungeons. :) I wasn't wearing any heirlooms, but I figured if I couldn't even down that particular pack with some ease, then it was unlikely that the bosses were going to be kill-able with my current group/setup.
I wonder how my hunters would do with pets tanking..
shame we can not go in with all hunters :(Quote:

Life is too short for that crap. I think someone told me that they only got the xp as if the mobs were 70 with their level 92 toon, so it won't work as a boxing catch-up.
Yes but with a healer and say an ele shammy the pets would still be tanking :)Quote:

I did mana tombs as well.. it felt just like it used to back when it was new. Shattered halls .. i only did first and second boss and kept dyeing in the hall of flaming arrows lol.. by then i was tired. going to keep trying today. Whats funny is im using the team I used when i first started 5boxing!
heroic Shattered halls is (and always was) brutal at level
This is now the second Timewalking weekend.
I tried Old Kingdom, and managed to down 2/5 bosses. The trash was difficult but not bad as long as I used interrupts and correct kill order.
Currently level 86, I decided to not even try the others. Unimpressed with the loot, dropping things lower iLevel then regular random dungeon rewards. And while its nice to have a challenge once in awhile, the poor exp and long fights start making leveling tiresome.
Here are the current dungeons:
Ahn’kahet: The Old Kingdom
Gundrak
Halls of Lightning
The Nexus
Utgarde Pinnacle

av cleared all the wotlk time walkers on my group. they was only level 100 a few days so a lot of greens/looms still.
i wiped a few times on a few bosses before i remembered what to do form the old wotlk days but to be fair i have to say i had a lot fun in till i handed in the quests. and you can not que a group.
Am running frost mage/ele sham/prot pally/disc priest/bm hunter
Here are the current dungeons:
Ahn’kahet: The Old Kingdom - did not even wipe here once very easy.
Gundrak - wiped on the 1st boss but if u pull it to the ramp at the start the ads don't lock down the healer. middle boss is a bit of a pain lots of moving! the others seemed ok.
Halls of Lightning - i would say this is the hardest,
-1st boss if you do it in the right place where he does not get the 30% buff on him and ads. its a easy fight.
-2nd boss keep the ads from the clones its a pain but can be done. at around 25% he blows them up and it one shot the group.
-3rd boss the lighting boss you can not group up. kinda put the group at the back when the boss turns into lighting run into the last room, and reset the team up. boss will not make it to you before he goes back and he run to you.
-4th boss i always lose a few chars on this boss, you need to stay close to the boss to not take to much dmg but when he casts the aoe you need to move back and back closer i find around halfway i can heal it.
The Nexus - the extra boss fears so be careful where u tank it before u get to many ads on you. other bossess was simple last boss is a bit of pain jump jump jump :D
Utgarde Pinnacle - trash is prob the hardest here if you get the hunter mark on you then your dead cleanse it fast!! . and the fear on the trash can make wipes easy. bosses are ok fights.
if i get back into them before the weekend is over ill try do a video.
Did ding 100 on my first team on Friday and yesterday did all the timewalking. It seems it does not matter if you are geared or not as it downscales your equipment to item level 160. At least I didn't notice any diffrence going there with item level 580ish gear or 620ish in Draenor.
I had vastly diffrent experience than Ebony. Playing 4Dk+Holy (my first and so far only team). The Old Kingdom, Halls of Lightning (the first boss even with the 30% buff for the achievement) and Nexus were easy enough to do. But third boss in Utgarde pinnacle - Skadi and third boss in Gundrak - the Drakkari Colossus/Elemental gave my melee team real headaches. Buff after about 10-15 tries on each I figured what I was doing wrong and they went down.
The item level 690-700 epics for the weekendly (?) were worth it.
Question, am I able to just CHOOSE time walker option from the dungeon options heroic/normal? So I can physically zone in with my hunter packs? Or is this only available thru LFD?
its olny LFD so you need a what blizzard calls a real group tank/healer/3dpsQuote:
