Session 2! Starts 8pm.

It might be worth those of us who are not L25 yet trying to edge a little closer to that so we're not quite so spread out.

Perhaps a bonus, no vents allowed, catchup dungeon? I'm sure we can 4 man something.

Ok - in my diary and as an 8 o'clock start.

(Thanks Vent for texting me and letting me know I had the wrong day - don't know why I thought it was Friday)

Will also get my char to 25. (Dungeon catchup sounds good)

Also - big thanks for letting me know what stuff I should roll on - really appreciated. I take it anything with Agility for a hunter. Discord is a good tool.

Basically. At our current levels, there is pretty much only leather gear with agility on it. There are some exceptions, because blizzard had(still has?) a silly "random" stat affix system which could make agility appear on cloth, mail (before level 40) and plate (wont drop until we hit level 40).

Simply put, if it has agility on it, it is for you.

If it has a red text section on the tooltip, like the word Plate in this image, then you cannot equip it:

I think he meant to say no Venturian KFC boomies. I am sure you can tag along on your mage (if you bribe us Wink)

If we get a point where everyone is on tonight then maybe we could do a catch-up run.

Alternatively it may be worth trying some open world questing for gear and a chance to look at the class at a slower pace? I find it gives me time to really look at how new abilities works and make sense of how to use them. It won't get you levelled as fast but it also won't leave you looking at your power trays and thinking, "I have no idea what any of these things do!"

While this is a great idea, I'd like to add on a few more:
* The training dummies can be a very good place to practice/try out different abilities in an environment where things wont die too quickly or hit back and kill you if you mess up.
* If you want to practice/try out in a dungeon, just ask, and at least I will be more than happy to slow down/halt the pace to give you an opportunity to do so where people around you can observe and maybe give pointers.

I have found that some abilities you get almost no opportunity to use out in the open world. This includes most crowd control and dispelling abilities.

Training dummies can be a problem, the only ones I've ever found are L60+. Consequently their defence stat results in a lot of misses if you're more than 5 levels below them. Dummies are great for practicing rotations at higher levels.

It is possible to field test CC and interrupt powers in the open world. In open play it's absolutely more efficient just to kill the target, but if you go out there to deliberately test an ability, the there is plenty of opportunity to do so, it's just unnecessary if your objective is anything other than "live fire testing".

Ran a LFD Stockades with my Paladin wearing Heirlooms. Got to 25 and just under 2 bars. So good to go.

It was the one with all the Worgen, where I had my paladin quest.

Looking at this wiki page, it looks like most classes have/had a quest there.
