Heroic wipe....

[Icetech]

So im at work and im bored... figure ill go try my first heroic.. i head into ramps cause ihear how easy it is... i am using aille's build so no TOW so whatever... i setup at the entrance... wait for the wanderer to walk away down the bridge then! pulled with chain lighthing which makes stoneclaws useless.. but still.. holy shit... these 2 wiped my team in seconds.. WTF.. do some pvp and wait for gear?

Well your sig says 5x67, so I'm guessing you just hit 70. I think the groups that are successful with all out DPS in heroics are pretty well geared. Until you reach that level, you might want to consider dropping one of your guys and bringing along a tank friend. I just tried this last night for my first heroic (Slave Pens) and it went pretty well. We only wiped 4 times or so, mostly to just plain bad pulls. Only once to something that was really multiboxing related when I changed my healing macro without testing it and it had a syntax error.
Oh, and don't drop your enchanter like I did!

Maybe you should start with the regular 5 mans(SV, SL, Mech, BOT...) first. it will help on your techniques and it will help you gear up too. Also make sure you have all the pvp Blues from rep vendors.

[Icetech]

yeah, im in almost all greens just got a couple blues from thrallmar... and i don't have the rep for lower city, what other rep vendors are there?

[Drizzit]

PVP gear are the same places where you get your heroic keys.

Check the other thread about our meeting in AV, I put a link to wowhead and the whole Seer's Mail Battlegear!

I recommend beating all the 5-mans on Normal* with your group, before trying Heroics. Remember that Heroic keys used to require Revered with the various factions for a reason - you should have the normal mode down to a science before stepping in.
Also your gear isn't good enough for Heroics I think, only around +300 damage and 7K HP... won't cut it I think. There are a ton of world quest drops you can use to improve your gear, along with crafted/reputation gear. You'll get gold towards your epic flying mount doing those quests too

I have a strong feeling running 5 undergeared shamans in a heroic won't cut it. If you really wanna jump in heroics do like Anozireth said and drop one shaman for a tank. My 4 shamans just dinged 70, but i've been around the block before so I had them honored in the big 5 factions before even turning 70 (Cent exp, thrall, lower city, shatar, and Keepers of time). When i dinged 70 I put them in full pvp blues, plus whatever quest rewards they had from leveling. At around 370 spell damage they can DPS heroics with a proper tank. Make sure your tank is at least raid geared (aka kara) and you should be able to pull it off.

Knowledge of the instances is pretty key too your success. Yesterday i let my girlriend play my paladin, (she's never played wow before in her life and after months of coxing she finally caved in) and she healed my tank (kara+badge gear) and my three 370 spell dmg shamans with much success. That paladin only has 700 healing (pvp blues and leveling quest rewards). It was underbog and i knew it like the back of my hand, the only time we wiped is when she moved too close to a naga patrol route and Ididn't warn her; Just to mix it up some. She was bored because i'd say exactly where to stand and what was lying ahead. I was so proud of her when she stunned one of the adds but then she was so excited she forgot to continue healing. lol.
