http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Turalyon&n=Shadowspaun I just hit level 80 and I wanted to know
if I am ready to do Heroics. All of my gear is blue, and I am waiting for 3.1 do duel spec (combat/multilate) Currently Im grinding for gold to get my 300 riding skill (5000 gold seems freakin high btw)
I thing I can run heroics but I do not want too be a burden on a pug. Just want opinions on my character (I know I need more hit rating but that will come with better gear) Please give me confedence and some direction of where to start. Thanks in andvance to all who respond.
Almost all of your gear is pre-level 80 blues. Your main hand is a level 74, and there are no sword upgrades until you get some reputation, so going CQC if you're staying with Combat would be better because then you could get some decent items to use (Bonecrusher/LPC). There are several BoE armor upgrades listed in the other threads linked by Feyras. None of your gear is enchanted. Your second profession isn't maxed.
Are you ready for heroics? No. Any group that would take you right now would be picking up your slack. Harsh, but that's the honest truth. Go smack a heroic target dummy for two minutes with WWS or Recount and tell us how your DPS is. I'm guessing around the 1k mark (and that's ideal situations, where you never need to move). I'm not trying to be rude, but until you make at least a modicum of effort into gearing yourself for level 80, no way should you be going to heroics.
Note: you do NOT need epic flying to get Winter Wings and fly in Northrend. Focus on your equipment first, then your epic flyer.
If your guild is willing to bring you that's fine and wonderful and the quickest way to gear up. But if not, do whoever you group with a favor and get some enchants and new items. Your spec looks ok, but as said there are no good swords for you yet so you should think about changing Sword Spec for CQC and getting some new weapons.
