Old raid content

[Cheesepile]

I was wondering as a team of 1 feral druid + 4 ele shaman (will dual spec 1 shaman to resto when i hit that barrier) what old raid content I should be capable of clearing once geared.

I've heard I should be able to handle MC, ZG and Kara... anything else above 5mans that I can look forward to doing after attaining level 80 badge gear? My raiding career solely consists of UBRS, MC, AQ20, Ony40, ZG and Kara... so it would be nice to be able to experience content I've never stepped foot in before Not to mention obtaining some of the recipes and vanity rewards i.e. mounts.

There are threads on this already ...

You can easily do all the old 60 content, the outdoor 60/70 raids, in the 70 realm you have some issues on some encounters in the larger raids. You can easily do most of the bosses with familarity, but sometimes the prerequisite bosses are tough.

Mags lair is a good raid to see if you can do, if you can do that I would start on some other 70 raids.

Kara seems easily doable. I ran the key quest on Saturday, then did 3 bosses inside. Horse guy, Moroes and Maiden. It wa after 3am by then so I quit. I didn't really have any issues, never really been in there before either.

I ran kara with only 3 people at level 70 by the end of the xpac. Of course that was 3 solo players but still at level 80 you should be able to easily, easily box it.

how did you do the chess boss in kara ?

I'd like to know too, I tried and tried but suck at it solo (5 toons)

For me, it was basically random. If the opposite side attacks your king/etc. and not your healer piece, it's a cakewalk. If they attack the healers first, it was usually over fast. Not easy, but not impossible.

I'm sure rogues used to be able to stealth to chess and solo it, there were tons of threads on it at the time - can't remember what their tactic was but pretty sure they kept switching pieces.

The thread on mag the other week is useful, I went and did it as a result. Just make sure you kill all the trash before you go into the lair, I left one group up and wondered where all these adds were coming from the first couple of wipes! After that it was pretty smooth. I might start working my way through old content too, I'm a bit bored of other stuff on my shaman team atm.

Doh! That might be where my trouble was coming from in Mags.

I've done MC, AQ20, ZG, ZA and Karazhan completely without too much of a problem (Pally + 4 Shamans).
I'd like to try Gruul and Mag to see if I can do it and perhaps some of the first bosses in SSC/TK. Once Cataclysm hits the shelf, that kind of places should be more easily doable. We might even be able to solo Kael'thas and farm Phoenix mounts

I've also done Noth and Patchwerk 5boxed because it was the weekly raid. No worries once you're in T9 and higher gear.
