Welcome to level 80 the quest for gear

[Ellay]

Your gear is too low to enter on normal mode? When I hit lvl 80 I did Forge of Souls which is a requirement to get into Pit of Saron, and then just did the instance over and over until I got 5 weapons. You only have to kill 3 mobs before you get to the first boss, so you'll get them all 212 dps weapons fast.

This is for sure the best way to gear up

Blasphemy for boxing, I know, but Queue them individually for heroic HoL and ToC. Both have good 2-hander drops that will likely default to you

This is what he is saying he can't do. If your gear is too poor you can't queue for these dungeons.

Do normal ToC if you can. Lots of tanking + dps gear there. I geared my tank in no time by doing that. once you have enough gear, queue for heroic FoS & PoS upgrade the tanking gear.

The tank is fine hes in full T9.5 and some T10
for the moment im using my prot pally tank to help the rets get some gear

i just created a group with my good toons (dungeon finder) went ininstance, dropped one toon, added my pally and farmed till i got hammer. then kept swapping in pallies till they all had hammer.
doesn't matter if your toons aren't geared for instance if group is already "approved" and in instance. can port right there once you join group.

Pretty sure the heirloom items are counted as ilvl 1 for the gear check system. When my DK hit 80 I couldn't queue for PoS or ToC, but after replacing the heirloom shoulders and chest with ilvl 200 blues it let me queue for ToC. After replacing most of my ilvl <200 blues/greens with ilvl 200 blues/epics from normal heroics and getting the axe from Loken, I was able to queue for PoS.

what im doing to get the hammers is ive swapped out a single pally for my friends disc priest. This really just becomes all about survival and less about burning him down. Thus far its worked pretty well I say. 3 runs no hammer yet =( 50% drop rate my butt lol

My druids just hit 80 as well, couldn't even join a normal heroic. If you have decent teams already at 80, just get them in the instance, kick one and invite an alt. Taking me forever but I have dragged 3/5 of my druids in the new 5 mans. Its a quick gear boost and a few more runs make them badge farm viable.

Well I now have 4 two ton hammers which doesnt seem to weigh that much lol! Anyway the way I did it was I rotated a pally in for while using my decked out shammys to basically down it... Side note levling weapon skill is a FING NIGHTMARE!!!!!! lol

I hit the random dungeon and got AN ugh still a nightmare simply becaus their gear is so crap but I have a decent amount of cash saved up (25k or so that should totally allow me to buy something pretty for my team =)
