5-Paladins New 80s - which Heroics?

[Ughmahedhurtz]

PvP I'm avoiding just because it's really absolutely not my thing any more, and I want to try and gear up without it if I can.

Yeah, same here, as I'm not set up for FTL or fast leader-switching, so fears and other problems would be more difficult for me to deal with. Though I'm slowly changing my mind with the cheap cost of a few of the upgrades honor and WG marks would provide my guys.

I'm (currently) so anti-PvP, there could be free sets of Tier10 inside the starting cave in 80 and I still don't think I'd do it... lol.

I've now got H UK, OK, and DTK on farm, so the badging is starting to progress now. Of course, as I add more gear, it becomes easier to add more gear, that ol' "new-80-hump". Haven't even had a chance to try any others outside of AN, HoL, HoS and CoS and GUN, so there's still quite a few options for picking off bosses if not whole instances to go - and of those I mentioned, I think at least CoS (and possibly GUN) could be done with some of the strategies I've gleaned from this thread as well.

So, while I'm not exactly piling up the badges left right and centre, I'm making decent headway. Rets are now up to about 2k dps, with the prot hanging around 1.7k.

Heh. Go run Garfrost normal for your Two-Ton Hammers. That'll put your weaps up to 212dps (plus a gem slot) and will be a nice boost. Lucky Old Sun from Bronjahm in FoS should be easy enough to farm, too, though it takes longer as there's more trash in there to get through. You have better gear starting out than I did at that point.

I'm hoping to get some time in ICC this weekend. In between Argent Valiant series + the Argent dailies, heroic randoms, farming UK/OK/DTK and the weekly raid Slats and I did tonight, I just haven't had time yet... hehe.

Bought my first Triumph piece, the T9 Hands. 9 Frost badges so far as well.

Just an update in case any were interested (should probably move this thread I guess).

5 days later and it's a big difference. Badges are coming a lot easier now. There's 4 full dungeons I can clear (UK,OK,DTK,CoS) and from almost all the others I can get multiple bosses. I've made a number of Triumph badge purchases now swapping out the worst pieces of kit, next up is the i245 shoulders (need 50, currently have 37) which I'll get tomorrow night.

DPS is much improved now, as is tanks survivability.

I'm not (yet) blasting through each run in 15 minutes but certainly getting faster. Last run was H OK, cleared 4 bosses (all bar the cultist boss near the final boss - still working that one out) in 30 minutes for 4 Triumphs + 2 Frosts and no deaths.

Thanks again all for the helpful advice.
