Yay and congrats

Next step... 10-boxing!

Well, maybe there are a couple steps in-between. Anyway, have fun wherever your journey takes you!

Are those quests/dailies boxable?

Yes. Caveat being, the jousting part on the tournament grounds there is a real pain to do. You can't really multibox it aside from having one joust and the others assist DPS unmounted. Really, though, once you get the jousting down, it goes fast. I do not do the tourny grounds jousting part once you start the champion's dailies.

Okay,
Question: What is crit immune? and How do you achieve that?
I gave the she pally the tempered titansteel helm, shield and the boot (these I was able to make from my BSmithing!)
Went to random normal, got nexus or something, got to the first boss...the dragon that teleports your group...wiped and wiped.
I guess more gears needed and one dedicated healer is the way to go then.

Suggestion?

For 5 man heroics, 535 defense = crit immune

try UK first, it is different then Nexas and might work fine for a group. It is doable by level 70s in green gear so you should be able to work that out.

Saraie,

I am running a team of 5xpaladins who are also 80th level. I am in the exact same boat as you are. I used BS to get my tank the purples in helmet and boot. I also bought purple leggings from the AH. I used all of the gem slots to up my defense to 535 as well as any enchants that do the same. You can get a shoulder inscription from the Sons of Hodir quartermaster to raise your defense as well.

This is what I found out. Most of the people who box heroics use teams that overgear the instance. Their tank outgears the instance greatly and the dps are hit capped and use a dedicated healer. What I am doing is running dailies to make gold to buy mats to make purples (or just buy purples) so I can run heroics. This takes time. I have cleared UK heroic up to Ingvar. I have cleared Nexus up to Teristraza (sp?). I can clear the old world raid Karazhan minus the bosses (I do this for gold).

There are a few people that offer geniune advice here. The rest just offer a brag sheet. The real path to clearing heroics is to outgear it. And you do that by making the gear, buying the gear or just farm honor and buy the PVP gear. I have done all three and this does take time.

By the way there is no such thing as boxing 25 dailies in 90 minutes. The most I have been able to do in 90 min was 18 and this was with the very easy boxable ones. Most of the time it takes me 2.5 to 3 hours to do 25 dailies.

To expand, the rule of thumb is 5 points of defense per mob level. So it's 535 for level 82 mobs, 540 for 83 (raid bosses) , etc.

Also, for your ret pallies, don't sweat getting +hit gear too much. By the time you're in a few pieces of badge gear your hit will be plenty high enough. You'll quickly get to the point of wondering where the HELL all the non +hit gear is. :P
