Most players by now that started rolling to 70 when the expansion hit are probably either just starting or in the middle of running their first few Heroic dungeons.

I fall into that group-- my guild has had a few folks running Heroics for a while, but the majority of us are just now starting to pick up the Revered rep needed in the different factions to make running Heroics a regular possibility.

So here's a few tips I've picked up just in the past few weeks or so about how to get started running the most challenging 5mans in the game. Please feel free to add your own below. I've heard good things about Underbog and Old Hillsbrad Ramparts is comparably easy as well, especially if you've got your FR gear on , but really I've found that Slave Pens is a good indicator of whether your group is ready for Heroics or not, and it seems like Cenarion rep is pretty easy to come by, so you've got lots of keyed folks to choose from.

Also, do the Steamvault dungeon better wait till level 70 before doing it. There you'll collect Colifang Armaments from mobs — you can turn them in and get 75 rep each time you do that. Faction: Lower City. Zone: Shattrath, Terrokar Forest, Outland. Best ways to reach Honored is doing the Auchenai Crypts dungeon and turning in Arakkoa feathers — More Feathers quest can be done multiple times.

They give a pretty decent amount of reputation and it won't take you too long to reach Revered. You don't even need to hit level 70 to do that — Sethekk Halls is doable starting level Faction: Keepers of Time.

Zone: Caverns of Time, Tanaris, Kalimdor. At least one faction has it pretty straightforward in TBC: you can just spam the dungeons till you're Revered. Do Old Hillsbrad and Black Morass as many times as it takes to hit the required rep. The only problem is that those 2 dungeons are pretty far from Outland and you might not be always able to find a party for them. Dungeons: Botanica, Mechanar, and Arcatraz. Faction: The Sha'tar.

Unfortunately, the Sha'tar have few quests to offer. So you'll have to rely on dungeons: Botanica, Mechanar, and Arcatraz. They all are rather difficult even in the Normal mode and Arcatraz also has a lengthy attunement. The good news is that you will also earn the Sha'tar reputation while doing Scryers or Aldor's quests, including the repeating ones. A good healer has more than 14k mana: this is preferred for boss fights, and for efficient running most people geared for heroic aren't willing to wait after every mob for a mana break.

Though less important than the above, health is also a vital factor, especially on low-armor healers, especially priests, who can be hit for 14k non-crit damage in some heroics e. Hammer of the Righteous, see Eadric the Pure. For , a healer should have between 1, and 1, spell power to heal effectively in heroics. In , crowd control has become very important again.

For heroics there is no specific advice to give beyond, use all the CC techniques at your disposal unless the encounter has some more important task for you AoE, de-curse, misdirect, etc. In , most heroics do not need any form of crowd control. Correctly geared tanks can generate enough threat to hold the attention of multiple mobs, and the damage is low enough to be relatively easily healed.

If crowd control is requested, Mages are the most effective, because of the usefulness of Polymorph. If played correctly, all are viable forms of CC, and depending on the DPS output of your group, you may only need to incapacitate the mob for 10secs, making traps as efficient as Polymorph.

With for casters, a good round target to reach is 6K spell power. Most classes should keep their health above 16k to avoid being one-shotted; and casters should aim to have mana above 15k as well, so sustained DPS can be used on mobs and bosses.
