Outlands and instnaces

[Gadzooks]

I cleared Slave Pens tonight for the first time with no deaths (woot) and I'm working on Underbog - the hunter at the end with the bear who stops fighting at 20% is kicking my ass right now, 3 attempts, all wipes.

Grats on smoking the instances. I'm not sure about your group composition and I haven't done the fight for a while but I used to have my druid tank hibernate the bear to do the boss pull. It lasted almost the entire fight if I didn't mess up too bad and made it much easier since you just need to deal with one of them. Once the hunter is down you can work on the bear.

I'm running an odd team, I'll say that up front - needs some explaining, too:

Main is an 80 Demon Lock, decent gear, 2k dps. Then it's a 63 Priest, Shadow, 64 Pally, Prot, and a 80 Arcane Mage, meh gear, 1400 dps.

I kind of blew it when I set up the new 4th - I moved the mage over, because she was on the priests account, I should have moved my 80 druid from the Pally's account. I can still do that, but I want to see how far this group can get.

Goal right now is leveling the priest and pally. Instances are fun, but if I hit the wall, it's fine, but I love the exp boost and drops, so I'm giving it a try.

I'm starting to learn how to tank on the pally, but the lock and mage simply overpower her attempts to keep aggro. LOL. I don't have any other characters to run them with. Once she's 80 she will be the dedicated tank, along with the druid.

The goal was and is getting a tank and healer to 80, so I have more options. Then after that, level a couple shaman, then I can mix and match teams. Eventually I'll have 5 accounts, too.

This team is doing great, tho - I'm working out my macros and tactics, and they're pretty powerful. I had healing issues for the 80s, but as the priest level, I just pot it up when I need, and keep an eye on the meters - the lock is usually okay, but the mage gets beat up sometimes when she crits and grabs aggro.

I'm also low on funds, so only the lock is dual spec right now, but priority 2 right now is to get the pally dual spec so I can have Holy/Prot, so she can heal while she levels.

Yes, it's a wierd team. I like the idea of having lots of different classes, and I know I'm gimped compared to the teams that you guys have proven to be the best, but, hey, I'm having fun. I kind of got a different attitude pushing 3 characters as far as I could, so I'm not really just in this to build a pally/shaman team to see the content, I want to level and gear all the classes, if that makes sense. I like having more options, too.

Also, up until now my instance running was limited to lowbie stuff, so now that I have 4, I'm learning the higher end dungeons - might be old hat to a lot of you, but it's new to me! And a lot of fun!
