So what do you think?

[Bradster]

I’ve been wondering what to do next since hitting 70 over the weekend. My goal to begin with was to do the horrid BG honor grind, get the gear then from that point hit arenas.

I’m at least sure the new Expansion will be available before Christmas. That said, it doesn’t leave much time to enjoy the fruits of my work on that grind.

So looking at my options, there are some pros and cons.

Grind the gear
Pros: Play 70 on god mode x5. Level cap raises, perhaps have a edge starting out, lots of world pvp since everyone is leveling. Would be nice to have decent resilience for those fights.

Cons: Most likely by 75 all gear will be replaced, all work gone with nothing left to show for it.

Other Stuff:
Pros: Well I haven’t tried quite a few instances yet, or for that matter heroics! Would be interesting to see what this team combo could do, as a reference for us all.

Could 5man ZG for the cat mount. Is it possible to 5 man MC and BWL, NAXX? And all those? Never saw them because of the times I played. Worth looking in to.

Could work on getting 5 epic flying mounts, cap my crafts and grind some cash for the bank.

Potential to find world PVP for a new movie. Don’t see many out in the wild like I used to but perhaps killing a few will provoke a group or raid to come after me, it normally always does.

I can avoid the painful honor grind for now, and only have to do it once at 80.

Cons: Not as powerful as I could be, gear makes a big difference, just hitting 70 420+ damage isn’t great!

When the Xpac comes out, I could be at a big disadvantage without the gear fighting groups of people to collect content for a new video.

Level alts: Well I could level alts; I have 5 level 16 shaman I was testing out.

Pros: Get to experience something else. Plenty of content to collect for movie on the way. If I make it to 70 I could potentially decide to 10 box.

Cons: Back to the grind, would have to change my entire configuration and key mappings to do it the way I want it (least I can just copy the WTF and interface folder to keep the lock settings intact).

Wouldn’t have epic flying mounts or any other bells and whistles finished by the Xpac.

Also a bit crowded in the boxing community (I like being the underdog on class choice for something different).

Well if history is any indication, wrath beta will last 4 months, my guess is November release. I'm in a similar boat, my group is about to hit 68. I'm just going to pretend no expansion is comming and enjoy the game.

[Ughmahedhurtz]

My plan is to spend an hour or so doing dailies as often as possible with my 3 groups of 70s until I have epic flying mounts and PL maxed tradeskills on my guys. Then I'll slack off and do the easy peezy dailies and level my hunters and druids until the expansion. Then, I haven't decided yet whether I'll start a DK group immediately or level my shammies, locks and mages to 80 or what.

So many choices, so little time. :P

Even though I started multiboxing months ago and I am somewhat of an expert leveler, I slacked off and my main group is just now 40. I'm trying to hit 55, which from previous experience, should be cake now. Until then, all bets are off. I have characters that I could transfer to the other accounts to make all of them have 55+ characters, but I'd really like to avoid the costs associated with that.

[Stabface]

I plan to tweak my gear a bit, take a stab at completing all bosses in all heroic 5 mans, and then just farm golds or work on alts until WotLK. Might level another team to 70 to split off onto a 10-man, or alternatively level some teams of alts to 60 -- banking that they make easier leveling from 60-70.

[Naysayer]

Do a few of the easiest dailies every day, get in some arena and start saving points till capped, only do bonus honor weekend battlegrounds for your s2 weapons, and level some alts the rest of the time. Dailies, arena, and BG's will only need a little bit of your time, and leveling some alts would be the majority.

[Zub]

i'll be leveling herbalism on most my profession-less alts.
I believe inscriptions (the new coming prof) has to do with herbs. I'll be ready when the crowds hit the AH on release day

MC can be 5 manned (although you'll need a tank most likely so make that 6) ZG can be for sure, I 2man it for the tiger/raptor mount each week (doesn't drop >_<) polymorph book is also easy to farm and sells for loads on my server(i do it with a feral druid in T6 though so he takes like 500 damage at most a hit :P )
Bwl ... well never tried with less then 15, and even then vael proved to be annoying, remember bosses are still boss level so they do still hurt, and vael is a race against time, naxx you just cannot 5man in my experience you'd have to have a good tank and i doubt he can do it alone.
pvp side: afraid it's a long grind and indeed when wotlk comes out the gear will be replaced: i'd still suggest you get that resilliance though, i personally went outlands in T1/2 gear with the T3 boots, when i dinged 70 i still had my T3 boots, T2 shoulders and helm, and didn't replace those before karazhan drops so it might just be that you do keep some pieces for a good while.also epic flyers aren't that hard to get, do every quest you haven't done yet (it's like 9 to 11G a quest) and do your dailies, while it's boring as hell it's good money and can easy earn you 2000 gold with your toons a day (even though you need about 33000 >_<)

[Perrigrin]

The things you can carry with to 80 is only really:

- mount skill level
- tradeskill level
- gold (but if inflation is similar to TBC, no point in saving up)

with that in mind, the most productive would be to farm epic mounts for as many characters as possible - what's most fun though, I guess that's up to you - for me it would be pushing to complete heroics.

I just hit 69 with my team. My plan is to hit 70 on my paladin, get prot gear and Figurine of the Colossus, then it's boosting time !
Gonna boost all my alts to 58 in ST.
