I have a second pally who is 80 and in the 4k range for healing gear, though trying to make him a tank, so still putting a set together for him if you need another.
I too love Naxx and will be home a lot over the next couple weeks. Whether I have free time... well, who knows.
Well I have been "decently" geared this weekend. only 2/5 tier 9. However, 2 232 weps and a few other 232 pieces have dropped. I can queue for everything cept H HoR.
Of we are spamming heroics this week, may i suggest after our random, doing H ToC, H FoS, and H PoS until we are locked out. The gear from them would be most beneficial to drop

I think we'll be best off hitting one random for the frosties, and then hitting ToC and all three ICC 5-mans for the chance of getting some decent gear.

This is the plan I used when I came back to WoW. And as quickly as possible, I changed it to random heroic, then heroic FoS, PoS, and HoR.

Besides me typing Of instead of If...why are you trying to steal my idea, recycle it, and change it to your idea.
I kid I kid... This sounds perfect to me, except do we know if Zero and Dark (cayle) can queue for those heroics yet?

You can always do things the old fashioned way and, ya' know, walk to the entrances. 
Hrm... Must have misread what you were trying to say Cheeto...I was mostly out of it yesterday; had an entire weekend of birthday celebrations with my family and then g/f's family for my boy, so that's my excuse...
I think we shouldn't have a problem with getting into the H-ICCs if we just queue for H-FoS, and then ask the few extras to jump through the portals with us. I've found that as long as the runs go well people are usually keen to stick with us rather than risk random-ing into a bad group (assuming we aren't bad of course). Otherwise there's quite a few peeps in our guild that I've been running with pretty regularly that could fill out our group nicely and still need some gear from the H-ICC 5s.

I can queue for everything except H HoR (maybe H PoS?) on the shaman, yeah. My gear is still pretty uninspiring, but I did manage to get a few good upgrades last Thursday when I was carried along for a few bosses in ICC 10.
(The only non-heroic I might ask for is another run at regular PoS, since there are two potential upgrades for me there, a shield and a cloak.)

The shield out of PoS from Rimefang is pretty sweet, best you can get before ICC itself.
Hey guys, I am good for tonight, just let me know what time and what we are doing..... then again it does not matter haha I will just do it. Would like to take Cayle I think but if you guys prefer Dark then I will take her. See you tonight if not before.
Take whichever toon you want Cayle If you want to gear the hunter up by all means. Whatever you enjoy playing the most!
Think I will probably take cayle then, she could still do with some good gear, and of course I will, as usual, get you all to tell me what I need and dont need. seems I always roll on stuff that I shouldn't.... like 'no cayle that is for a tank' hehe
seems I always roll on stuff that I shouldn't.... like 'no cayle that is for a tank' hehe
I have a post-it on my monitor that orders the stats I need to prioritize on my DK. I don't need to look at it anymore because I've scanned it over so many times that I have it memorized. I would highly recommend doing the same. Also pay attention the Item Level of an item. In most circumstances if the piece of gear isn't of a greater Item Level than what you currently have equipped it will not be an upgrade.
Also, there are add-ons that you can download that show what a piece of gear will do to your stats. Ratings Buster is what I use, IIRC. If you aren't using it now, it'll simplify things greatly.

This. Also, spend some time on EJ. A good basic familiarity with your class will take you a long way, and there's really no easier way to get that which I know of.
and there's really no easier way to get that which I know of.
Well, that sort of depends on the class. Some classes are covered very well on Elitist Jerks and not very well in the greater community, some the other way around.
For hunters right now I tell people to start at the Warcraft Hunter's Union guides page, for example. The information there is very solid, and every article includes a note at the top about what patch the information is tested and current for. At the same time, the EJ hunter community is only sort of passable. They produce some of the best tools for figuring out your gear and spec choices (like the infamous spreadsheet and the far more usable web version) but they don't have a great place for new players to start, like for instance the EJ shaman forums do.
As for DKs (or any other class), I'm not really sure where the best place to start is, but failing a recommendation otherwise, EJ should at least serve as a good starting point.
Between EJ and this simulator I don't think that there is anything better out there for the DK. That simulator is pretty accurate if you take the time to set it up. At least for DKs.
The jury is no longer out on whether to hide in the cubby or take on the mobs front and center in HoR. It is significantly easier to use the hallway front and center. Case closed.
Is everyone game to shoot for a Naxx run next Monday (10/11)?
I would absolutly love to shoot for Nax Con some other guildies into joining us and make it a nice night of badge farming and fun!
Naxx run will kick-off at 7PM on 10/11. Please post if interested.
oooh ME ME!!! PICK ME! Mdps ftw!
I am in... and yes I agree, getting the mobs in the hallway is far better. You can actually see what is coming at you.
I also greatly prefer the hallway method, but as a DPS, I do whatever the tank prefers. Most seem to prefer the cubby. Much easier to deal with anything going wrong when you can see everything, though. I typically CC a ranged until the tank is ready for it when doing the hallway method. I know, CC, what's that? XD
Yeah, the problem we were having was that due to lack of gear, skill, and experience I just couldn't keep up when a flamestrike hit under us, and in the cubby it's nearly impossible to prevent that from happening, hard to see when it happens (thanks, frost traps!) and difficult to get people to move away to safety. Being a bit more spread out, however, made that essentially a non-issue.

In. Winterbourne, currently 79.66, DK Blood tank. Should have decent tank gear by then. If not, eh, decent DPSer.
I'd love to run Naxx again. I can bring Muadihb for some supershammy heals or enhance DPS or Gaudin for Protadinness and soaking up some ret gear
Remember, if the patch is to come out this week.. All the extra badges from Naxx will convert nicely into JP
I would REALLY like to come! After 7pm server time would work for me. I prefer to bring my mage, Schniggles but could also bring my lock, Schnuggles. Also, I've never done Naxx before but I'm a quick learner.
Well I've never done it before either Schnuggles, so join the party. Feel free to bring whatever.
