PvE Progress

[Majestic_Clown]

Yes another one of my silly threads :P
(Sticky Please)

More and more threads of people looking into what works for PvE and what doesn't, so share your experiences and I will condense the information into a comprehensive list.

So the inform I'm asking for is every Instance you were able to do on your own 5+ man instance.

1) What Instance - Example: Deadmine @ level 20 Chars, Shadow Fang Keep @ Level 28 Chars etc (Level At What You Did It Helps)
2) What Combo? - Example: 4x Warlocks 1x Holy Priest

Well this post will be short* as I have only completed one instance, which I did this week.

Instance: Deadmines
Characters: 5 x Draenei Shaman
Level: 21/22 (dinged shortly after starting)
Spec: All are elemental X/0/0
Gear: Quest and mob drops only

Comments: I'm still learning my way and Deadmines was a nice way to ease into instance running. There are mostly scattered non-elites with no large groups of elites- at level 21/22 there are almost no problems with aggro range so pulls were kept to 1-3 mobs most of the time. I did have two occasions where I pulled 4-5 elites along with 1-2 non-elites but managed to burn them all down without any deaths.

I wanted to wait for level 20 to get the healing stream totem, which is why I ended up entering at level 21 and dinging 22 shortly after. The healing stream totem was an enormous edge, +30 healing every 2 seconds meant that I spent very little time healing.

I one-shot every boss with the exception of Van Cleef. I wiped on him the first attempt, then killed him on the second attempt before dying to his last two adds. But I was able to zone in and clear to the corpse before it poofed, so I was happy enough with that. I still need to work on my macros and my responsiveness during fights, but overall I was pretty happy with the attempt.

*sorry, I lied, it wasn't short. >.<

Majestic, if the intention of this thread is to be a permanent one, let me suggest the following format (our server uses this format for raid progression).

The format is like this, with as much abbreviation as possible to limit the size:
(Name) (Team) - Instances completed.

Gallo - 2ma,1pr,1lock,1war - Deadmines(18-22), Stockades(22-28).
Tonuss - 5sha - Deadmines.

This way we can have people post their progress, and then whoever started the thread can update this progress on the very first post for everyone to see. If you dont want to update this constantly, tell us, and I'll start a new thread

thanks for reply.
What level were your chars when you did the instances?

I'm trying to get a leveling guide going so people roughly know when on average to start grinding a specific instance

Im making a list from the data i receive like I've done here:

http://www.dual-boxing.com/forums2/v...hp?p=9088#9088

[Bollwerk]

Feral Druid, 3x Elemental Shaman, Frost Mage

Stockades @ lvl 25 (full clear)
Gnomeregan @ lvl 32 (full clear)
Uldaman @ 44 (partial clear)

All toons' gear is just quest/mob drops. Not twinked at all.

Server - Dragonblight - US - PvE
Aluvriel - Alzuriel - Aquiriel - Alkestriel - Aluzriel

Woot! Just finished like 5 minutes ago... Ragefire chasm@14, Pa/Pr/Wl/M/M

It was quite a bit more difficult than I anticipated (quad pulls? Gah!) but after a partial clear at 13, I full-cleared at 14. Had to rewrite all my macros like 3x. Paladin tanking pre-righteous fury and consecration is quite a bitch.



So I've been leveling pretty much exclusively inside of instances. Here's the progress:

RFC: 13-17

*Updated*

WC: 17-21
SFK: 21-23
BFD: 23-26
RFK: 26-30
Gnomeragan, one time, at 29

SM Graveyard: 29-32

*Updated again!*

SM Library: 32-34
SM Armory:34-36
RFd: 35-37
SM Cathedral: 37-40
Uldaman: 39-41

*more!*

41-43: Mauradon Purple / Outside instance Quests / Tanaris
43-45: ZF
45-46: Mauradon Orange / All bosses except princess
46-48: Hinterlands (this place is awesome)
48: Mauradon full clear
48-50: Sunken Temple

[Jaws5]

1) What Instance - Example: Deadmine @ level 20 Chars, Shadow Fang Keep @ Level 28 Chars etc (Level At What You Did It Helps)
2) What Combo? - Example: 4x Warlocks 1x Holy Priest[/quote]

4. Scholo Lvl 58 clear

3. underbog up to first boss lvl 63 first boss lvl 65 (still working on clr at 66)

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Holy/disc priest + 4 demonology locks (all undead)
Look up Dondiego/Donbartolo on Magtheridon on wowarmory for specifics.

Full clears/kills at the following levels:
RageFire Chasm = 16
SFK = 26
BFD = 27
Razorfen Kraul = 29
SM Library = 34-36
SM Armory = 36-38
SM Cathedral = 38-40
Razorfen Downs = 40-42
Uldaman = 45
Zul'farrak = 47-48
Maraudon = 49
Scholomance = 60
Arazzius the Cruel = 60 (lost 3 of 4 felguards)
Natural Remedies = 60 (lost two felguards when two raging behemoths added towards the end)
Stratholme = 61 (live side cleared; doing dead side tonight)

Updates:
--> Hellfire Ramparts at 61 = wipe on Nazan. Rest of the instance was ezmode. [update2] Finally went back and did it at 68. Trivial.
--> Blood Furnace at 68 was fine. The technicians in there AoE the pets down quick with the bombs though. Fear-kite FTW.
--> Underbog at 68 = easy/hard. The first time is difficult. Wiped on Hungarfen twice, then killed him with only one pet down. Next two bosses were pretty easy. Black Stalker wiped me the first time because of bad positioning triggered early aggro before I was spread out. 2nd run lost one lock but otherwise was easy mode.

========================
New group: 37 prot pally + 4 fire mages (will be PoM/Pyro spec at 41)

RFC = 18, took about 25 minutes. AoE = Win. No deaths.
WC = 20. Took about 90 minutes. No deaths.
BFD = 26. Took about 80 minutes. No deaths.
SFK = 27. Took about an hour. No deaths.
RFK = 30. Took about 80 minutes (mostly for the damn tubers quest). No deaths.
Starting SM tonight at 37. Will update when done with that.
