Holy Brick Wall Batman!

It can be done in 219/226 as well, but most people don't consider that "geared" anymore.

Regardless, does it really matter?

In the context of the discussion we were having with the OP as to why hitting 70 and trying to do NR instances felt like hitting a brick wall, yes, it absolutely DOES matter. Giving someone unreasonable expectations on difficulty isn't helpful.

Example: "Sure, it can be done. Hell, I did dungeon x at dungeon_x_required_level - 3!" Not helpful.
Example: "Sure, it can be done. But you'll definitely need tweaked configs and probably the best gear/enchants/consumables/etc. you can find because it isn't an easy task without an honest tank." Helpful.
Example: "Sure, it can be done, but I've yet to see anyone do more than a few specific bosses without outgearing the instance by large amounts (i.e.: rolling Heroic Gundrak in full i219/226+ gear)." More helpful.
Example: "Sure, it can be done. You'll probably need to make sure you spec enough resto for <spell_h> and be sure to get <glyphs of a and b> so you don't run out of mana before the boss dies. Some bosses, like X will give you trouble unless you use strat Y. And you'll need to make sure you're enchanted and use consumables and certain cooldowns to reliably clear that place. And I wouldn't even bother trying to clear instance Z until you're 78 and have one of the good crafted sets or farm up all the blue instance gear you can get first." Most helpful.

Some of the conversations around here lately are starting to resemble the movie UP.

I ran into the same problem. went from 60-70 over night it seemed.. cleared almost all the outland dungeons as i went also.
hit northrend, went to do some UK for gear and got smashed. questing isn't the best either. i actually didn't get on for 3 days and instead, got the pool ready for plastering before summer because hitting the brickwall of slow leveling was so frustrating.

though I think my group would be a little stronger than a all shammy group so i may just swap one of my Rets to be a Holy
and my DK blood tank is not bad geared i have full Cobalt set.

anywho.. I am sick of being low levels! argh want to go back to 80 stuff


any good grinding spots 70-80?

Since you have a lvl 80 pally, you should have started doin UK at lvl 65.

Just reset every 12min and check the lowest possible level to enter a specific instance from here.

If you don't like the regular questing, you can just pickup the quest that is related to a given dungeon for added xp and equip rewards.

Que to AV also. It's a good way to change your dungeon grind phase and have fun at the same time.
