Faction Transfer Now Live

[Ughmahedhurtz]

I dunno, even a fresh 80 team can get pretty well geared in dungeon blues, and start working on heroics. My team is geared out (I went heroic crazy yesterday and did like 6 heroics last night) so i do the heroics fast, but with the new badge gear, I can get up even faster than doing lower lvl raids.

Exactly. I've done a few heroics bosses with brand-new teams in crafted epics and dungeon blues. Difficult, but doable.

You can say what you want about gear being "required" for content, but somebody else has already proved you wrong.

What I was making specific reference to is this:

And gear? We took a freshly dinged 80 priest to Ulduar ready in a day. (Heroics in the morning, raids in the evening).

Its so easy to gear toons now its a bit pathetic...

For a guild or a team with 4-24 other people already capable of carrying alts through heroics/raids, you're absolutely right that it's pathetic. For the rest of us mere mortals, it's far from easy. It's no different than animist PL. Sure, it's stupidly easy for the PL-ee, but you need the PL-ers first.

Though I will agree that most of my/our issues are less absolutely gear-related and more about having the gear and experience to mitigate the mistakes or limitations of multiboxing.
