Hey guys, Ive been working on my gear here and there trying to get all my blues/craftables replaced, and I was wondering how far in raiding I could step into? I know I can do Kara and ZA, but what about TK, SSC, Gruuls and Mags? I think all of my stats are pretty good, with the obvious exception of my low spell hit. I am thinking of saving some cash to get spellstrike pants instead of my battlecast, which I used to use when I wanted to pvp more. Anyway, I was just wondering what I could do. Here is my armory http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Gorgonnash&n=Tiddly

Thanks.

Kinda threw me off when you said you can do kara/za. ZA is often misunderstood. It's loot has many equilivents to SSC/TK, some cases better. I suppose you could be going in and pot shotting a few bosses, but pretty much what they say for ZA, because it is the timed event.
1-2 chests groups with at least t4 should be getting
3-4 chests T5/T6 groups should be getting.
hex/zj i would say at least full t4 to be downing him. and a good group setup.

The order i put raid content is this. Granted you could not have a full clear on one raid, and be downing the first couple boss's in another.
Kara
Grull/Mage
SSC/TK
ZA
Hyjal/BT

While in your raids, what kind of dps do you put out? I feel that in SSC/TK you should at least be putting in 800dps to be doing your part.
Your Spec looks slightly hybrid into pvp/pve. This you can get away with in Kara but as you enter harder content, a sure raid build is very important.
In your current spec you have nothing to help your plus hit. Elemental Precision is a godsend for us mages, and would help with your hit problems greatly. Theory crafters say order of importance. *till capped*
spell hit/spellhaste/spelldmg/spellcrit.
You also might want to think about breaking your arcane crutch and trying out a deeper fire build
10/48/3 a little better with mana or 2/48/11 for that extra oomf.

For your gear you should be thinking of Kara a place to farm badges. I would still run grull/mag for gear. But go ahead and look for a guild starting SSC/TK and see what happens.

And im curious of how Timbal's focusing crystal there is panning out for you. I pass to my spriest/warlock guildy's while were in there. but in off chance i was thinkin of nabbing it for a fire build. Worth it or did they really make a trinket useless for us mages, and OP for other casters heh.

Thanks for the reply. Yea, as I start to get into the heavier raids, I will respec but right now I am not really doing more than kara so I still pvp on the side. On the question about Timbal's crystal, I grabbed it because I was the only caster in my pug so it was not a problem. I has actually worked out quite well since I crit often, leaving ignite dots, and my fireballs/pyros also leave dots, so it procs quite often, and even does a nice crit. Overall im pretty happy with it.
