| For what it's worth, my younger brother recently levelled up a priest; having absolutely 'no' raid experience in WoW, ever, and with no friends ingame to help him except those he's met since starting, he's gone from a fresh 80 to being more or less fully epic geared and having done 2/3 of Ulduar (on easymode) in two weeks.
Being a healer and a good player probably helped him a hell of a lot, but it really is that easy now days, and with the badge change in 3.2 it's only going to be more ridiculous. It's slightly tougher as DPS (as I'm discovering on my warlock), but as long as you don't mind sucking it up in the PUG scene and using a mod to fake achievements it's absurdly easy. |
