About to ding 80 - where do I get me gear?

[thedreameater]

Thanks for all the replies. I would like to also run dungeons, heroics eventually. Are there any dungeons, quests, anything in your experience to gear up 4 shaman relatively quickly?

yes most pieces req. points, but what happens when u finally get all the BG gear, and u move to arenas.. get to 1500 and ur stuck cuz u cant buy anything... if u did ur arenas for the 2 months while u were gearing up u could buy some pieces of gear

[stoat]

If you buy the boe level 78 stuff it'll be good enough for heroic dps. Might need to buy something a little more fancy for your tank depending on the class. You probably won't be able to do the harder ones right away, but Gundrak and UK should be fairly straightforward with minimal gear.

If anyone is interested, here's what I'm going for:

[item=43897]Frost Climber's Hatchet[/item]
[item=42860]Broodmother's Protector[/item]
[item=44384]Chestguard of Unwanted Success[/item]
[item=43173]Scaled Boots of Fallen Hope[/item]
[item=43212]Gauntlets of the Windreacher[/item]
[item=42810]Wooly Cowl[/item]
[item=43162]Ceremonial Pike Leggings[/item]
[item=44380]Giant Champion's Spaulders[/item]
[item=43841]Argent Girdle[/item]
[item=38535]Wristguards of the Remorseful[/item]

Cloak will be the S7 cloak with honor, along with rings.

What team do you have? Do you focus PvE or PvP? Bout?
If you have a tank, healer/dps team, you could run heroics until you gather gear from that. It's hard in the start, but it goes a lot faster when u learn the diffrent heroics with ur team..I would recommend to start farming Culling of Stratholme, Gundrak and maybe Nexus. Of course, you should do others to, but these are the one's i would do first in the day if i newly dinged.

Gear recommendation would be a lot easier, if you told me what team you have, and if you mainly go for PvE/PvP or bout.

4 Ele Shaman, just added em to my sig. Pvp mainly, but I would like to gear up for pve as well. Figure, the heroics drop the emblems and I can get arena gear from emblems.

with signature this time.

Then i would find myself a mate, or even several tank-mates. Run heroics, learn the curves on how to do em really fast and gear up trough heroics for deadly gear, and offset pieces by honor.

will do - thanks again!

right - but correct me if i'm wrong, but there's NO point in losing 10 games a week like another thread suggested simply to get arena points to buy gear cheaper. You won't get the required rating to wear the gear you buy. And all gear that you buy arena points requires a rating.

I'm really quite surprised that everyone seems to think that by losing 10 games/week you'll magically get to 1500 rating - you have to WIN ... lots ...

I would so love to be wrong on this ...

Previous poster just answered that, the gear does not require rating. Using arena points makes it cost less honor and also it does not require rating.
