I made a list on my blog.

Hello, Pike! Just found a link to your site from Steady Shot (http://wowwhimsy.wordpress.com/) and I gotta say, I really like your blog a lot. Just turned 80 some months ago with my hunter which is my main and only dude I play… I just can’t do alts… …

Although I gotta admit that I do check WoWHead for new gear wishlists, the same thing happened to me a bunch of times in ToC… I just kinda shrug it off when I win an item that I wasn’t looking forward to, but then I get all excited when I check on the stats in gear websites… Loving ToC!

Yeah, I totally approve of the dungeons posts and will look forward to them…

@ Muron and Znodis – dang, that’s depressing. I was really looking forward to making a series. I think I will anyway…

My level 59 Tauren Hunter would thank you for days for such a heads up. After grinding for half his life some nice equipment would be real nice . . .

I put it on in the background everytime I run an instance for the first time so I know what to look for in drops. It still might be useful to go through and point out some of the better pieces, or items that hold a special place for you tho

If you’re struggling to keep up with the healing on the first encounter, try having an offtank pick up one of the less hard-hitting faction champions. We had a DPS Death Knight just keep one of them busy and it made a world of difference for the MT. I’ve performed the same role by hitting the Bear Form button as a Cat DPS Druid.

Pike…

jousting….is not awesome….

The only thing worse is flying all the way down to the foot of the citadel to do it down there….

>_<

But I do like running over Colossus over and over again after we knock him off his mount

Pike, wow-loot.com has a list for every class of every drop that drops from them from every instance.

I would suggest maybe just directing the people on your blog to there instead of re-doing all the work again yourself.

Grats on getting the banner though, I have been running ToC regular fairly often and have yet to win it (it’s especially good for MM stacking ArP).

My main’s a hunter and has been in here maybe twice on heroic just to see what’s the dealo. I outgear everything in here (just got my Talonstrike from 25-man ToC last week – /drool). The trinket’s nice and I should probably get it given that I haven’t upgrade my badge trinket, but I’m not overly motivated to run this place when I have dailies and raids and other toons to level.

However, the reason I post is because of your Healer comment. I had just dinged lvl 79 on my disc priest that is relatively well geared in dungeon blues. I went in with a pug on Wed and I literally could not keep the tank up on the first pull. We even switched tanks to a ulduar geared one, and I didn’t have the spell power to keep him alive.

So I ended up in the same place you were with Tam – wiping 4-5 times and excusing myself to go rock in a corner quietly. I had hoped to snag some gear upgrades in anticipation of hitting 80. Bwahahahahahaha! I’ll go back in at 80, but I might not do so until I’ve purchased some better gear.
