Hello fellow guild members. I'm pretty excited to do the Greenscale raid. I prefer to do these activities with guildies. Many of us are starting to hit 50. It's mostly difficult to run T1/T2's with guild members only (nigh impossible right now). Some of us are casual players, but some of us want to do this end game content (healers I'm looking at you!). I soloed almost the entire game to lvl 50 so I learned a lot and I learned a lot of things wrong or late.
Steps to take now to get ready...
Step 1: KNOW YOUR CLASS - This at first sounds obvious, but I played for about 3 weeks at lvl 50 as a Saboteur doing sub-par DPS. I had another rogue show me a proper rogue DPS build and it doubled, yes *doubled* my DPS. I was blown away!!! (no pun intended) Alternately, I had my bard role pretty down pat, but I still got some good tips to tweak it that much better.
Step 2: GET GEARED UP - Do the daily T1/T2 quests. You will double the amount of plaques you get for epic gear. Again, I played for probably 2 weeks not even knowing there were dailies to do and I missed out on a TON of plaques. Also scan the Auction House, although expensive, sometimes a quality piece of gear can be well worth the cost. Besides, BoE's from T2 find there way to the AH. PUT RUNES ON...runes are all over the AH and are not that expensive given the stats they provide. Every piece of armor that can have a rune should.
Step 3: DO PUG's - PUG's (Pick-up public groups). This is really all I've done to this point. Groups are quick and easy to find (easier after 1.2). Sure you may get the occassional bad group however I can honestly say almost all PUG's I've been in have been very good and mostly mature people. More importantly, these are people that can teach you the fights. Fights aren't hard, but if you don't know them they are.
Step 4: ADD FRIENDS - this is truly invaluable. Following step 3 if you get a good tank or healer or DPS, etc in your group and they seem nice, add them to the friends list. Then say hi and ask how they are every once in awhile. These relationships for me have been priceless. Step 4a: Use lvl 50 chat. Most people are sarcastic, but if you have an honest question you will get an answer.
Step 5: Teamspeak - again this is invaluable. It's easily worth $25 to get a headset and join us. Many of us have become good friends on TS. We can more easily help on TS and when we do PVP or Dungeons we will need this tool. Plus I miss you.
Hope this helps.
