How to gear up for heroics?

[jimbobobb]

motw isn't ToNR or AotW, and obviously isn't making a difference.

He doesn't need to put on NR gear, lol. He just needs to learn to move his alts out of the puddles. A simple keypress and he's good to go. It's not much different than learning the Nexus Keristrasza fight.

Moving during that fight is silly, and a waste of time, especially when he has dps problems to start. Holy nova is more than enough aoe healing to negate the puddles as long as his guys are partially spread and not stacking the ooze. Just put holy nova in your healing rotation to fire on every cooldown and then it's just a tank and spank with 4 predictable aggro dumps. I really don't get why people still insist on making that fight harder than it is. Every single healer has an aoe heal now. Just use it.


And more on topic:

Your team is more than finely geared for starting heroics(the easy ones). It looks like you might just need a bit more experience with implementation. There are tons of threads about this, but in my opinion the two easiest are - Culling of Strathholme not worrying about timer, and zul'drak (skipping ice guy and dinosaur if they give you trouble). Also if you can manage it TOC is extremely good for gearing up even if you can only do the champions - you can just reset the instance over and over till you get an easy set of 3 even.
