The downside of boosting with Zolo (no gear)

[Flatlyne]

On the off chance someone gets to answer this before I finish dl'ing patch and see for myself... Anyone tried Zolo since today's patch?

How feasible would you say doing the Zolo thing would be with a 70 Shaman? I'd be willing to respec to whatever if it works. Gear is primarily all +spell dmg and healing, so I'd need to get a green set, but it sounds like thats the way to go because of repairs anyway.

Edit: I had to respec, ended up with 0/20/41, but between stoneskin, grace of air, mana spring, earth shield, and NATURE's GUARDIAN!!!!! talent I can stay up indefinitely. Just throw out the occasional heal and magma totem to tag.

Actually I've heard that Resto shamans are able to do this as well. I'd probably hold off on respeccing if I were you till you figure out what the other resto shamans are doing to get this done.

After you finish zolo just go to ramparts at 56 with your pally tank. It will be slow at first but when you get almost a level in 1 clear its pretty nice. When you hit 58 you can start getting outland gear then your set. My guys all had sm gear at 58 and some lvl 14 gear .

As pinotnoir says, I'd just grind to Honored rep with CE and HH in instances. Assuming you're boosting with a 70 Paladin then you should have NP as all of Ramps is soloable, so you can at least clear trash to 1st/2nd boss no matter how bad the 70's gear is. You'll be 60+ easily, then do a bit of research on HFP and Zangar quests and knock the ones that give you gear to fill some slots. Then maybe fill out some more gear slots with crafted or AH'd BoEs. This will be more than enough gear to do all the rest of the HFP/Zangar quests even without a 70 helping,which should get you a complete set of gear if you do everything and choose the rewards correctly.
