Gearing up at 80

[ragawaga]

So I dinged 80 on my 5 shamans after a played time of 8 days and about 4 hours Gotta love the XP from AV at 70-80 to help break up the collection quests in Northrend. Helped that Littleburst from Grim-Batol was in a lot of the AVs with me.

Anywhoo....so I've dinged 80 and the plan is to solo heroics with 4 of the shamans and my geared pally tank....however I think I would be better getting them some decent gear before I do that. Currently I've been getting guild groups to do randoms either taking 2 or three of the shamans depending on the group composition. The first thing I've managed to buy was the 35 badge caster shield. I was thinking that when I've managed to get 2 tier pieces on at least three of the shamans (one healer and 2 dps) then that would be a good time to try to start soloing.


Does anyone else do it differently?

Also, are there any specific instances you suggest using to practice 5 boxing?


*edit* Argh, wasn't paying attention that I was in the macro forum. Could a mod move this to the appropriate forum please?
