Congrats on your first heroic great work!

I remember my first H i completed i was so happy : ) I ran a prot warrior and 5x elemental shaman team when i first started my heroics with many attemps, wipes and big repair bills i got to just started farming only the bosses i could kill maybe first one or the first 2 in each heroic i could till i was able to buy gear with emblems. yeah i started out with as many crafted peaces of gear i could make and just went at it. Dont give up the more gear you get the easyer the runs get.
Now my team is well geared I changed my warrior for a prot pally with only green drops and some blue boe gear that i had picked up along the way 512D and 24k hp and the 1h axe from the zul drak group quest i was able to clear all heroics i was already clearing with my warrior only thing was i just had to heal more and dps a little slower.

First Heroic Team: Deviteman (prot warrior) 4x Elemental Shamans Xpepsi, Xcoke, Xdrpepper and Xsprite ( US Bomechewer)
Second Heroic Team: Zuzana (prot Pally) 4x Elemental Shamans Xpepsi, Xcoke, Xdrpepper and Xsprite ( US Bomechewer)

Now that i can farm heroics pretty easy I sub in one of my alts and just keep them on follow or I bring in a guild mate.

Reg ToC farming tips:
I farm and run guild mates with my 5box team all the time through reg ToC. Simple rule with the jousting in have everyone stack and use a assist party1 macro made this way every toon attacks the same target 3 thrusts 50k hp and the mob is dead next target. same for next 2 groups and 3 mains now the trick is to refresh mounts on alts when they get low hp dont let anyone get dismounted in your group.. before last patch I use to kite the last mob to the door and run out. YOU DONT have to do this anymore they auto reset to the gate once the last one is downed. I would have a chanter in your group at all times cause its a abyss farming if you cant use the gear.

Macro used:
/assist party1
/cast Shield-Breaker

ps: if you use the ? icon to make your macro it will change to the shield breaker icon automaticly when you mount up.

Once you use the macro all alts target your target and then just use default attack key 1 = thrust
your defense shield can be casted at the same time as when you thrust because they do not share the same globle CD so keep your shields up and take less dmg. I hope this post helps and happy farming : )
