He's just about 20 minutes away from level 10 and getting Rez. I think his name is Deadr. Deadr than what? Dunno. He's already got a basically unlimited mana pool when grinding. Once the gear gets some +INT and +SPI, look out. That's what I did with Priestr on Sen'jin. The whole horde thing is very slowing for me, because it takes forever to find vendors and such for an all-Alliance player. I think I can get most of my stuff done in Undercity now. I'll play some Deadr Saturday morning. I will probably stick with my undead priest on BL. He’s just about 20 minutes away from level 10 and getting Rez. I think his name is Deadr. Deadr than what?

I'm sure when Thahuntress and 0gami asked for advice on their threads at TKASomething, (both clearly at the MC level) they weren't inviting people to start arguing about how much FR's actually needed for Firemaw. :) Oh, and one other thing:

To quote Arcazua from the <a href="http://forums.tkasomething.com/viewtopic.php?t=2466&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15" rel="nofollow">Survivability VS DPS</a> argument: <i>"A hunter in NR should stack their gear so they still have a chance to hit.

So all in all, I'm gonna be prepared for whichever way our raid leader decides to do it. Also, I 'm not sure what you mean about "Sponge class". Maybe you can spare Shamans for the fight, but we need our Paladins and Druids for healing/cleansing and I'm not sure if Mages or Locks can wear enough NR to make it worth our while putting them in the meat wall.

Caught you online last night. Good to see you around again :) You really should level a toon on BL. We've got a good group of guys I know, that run all the 60 instances a lot. We need a 5th though :) 4 manning this stuff is getting a little tough with the alts :D Gitr! Caught you online last night. Good to see you around again :) You really should level a toon on BL.

I looked for you on Sunday, but you must not have been on yet. My priest is still exploring the woods around the Scarlet Monastery. I can't wait until the expansion comes out, though. I'd like to try a new class and race on. I’m back! I looked for you on Sunday, but you must not have been on yet. My priest is still exploring the woods around the Scarlet Monastery.

Took a guild vote, and the majority of people wanted Naxx over C'Thun. We are going to skip C’Thun, and work on Naxx until we get to Patchwerk or so, then come back to C’Thun.
