Yes, your crit % is a bit low, especially if you're BM, but you have 4 other DPSers to help pick up any potential slack. Cripes, we have T5/6 geared hunters in my raid who aren't hit-capped!!<BR/><BR/>The problem you run into is people who are on badge runs, and not on progression/gear runs. Those people ARE overgeared, and try to compare you to themselves. Well of course it's not a valid comparison.<BR/><BR/>Little-known fact: Kara can be 9-manned. So don't let your gear hold you back. You're ready.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6840815778697838667.post-50643818289975381152008-07-08T04:22:00.000+10:002008-07-08T04:22:00.000+10:00There is something to be said about the difference...There is something to be said about the difference between theoretically being able to do something and actually doing it. For instance, if I hadn't been there myself I would have laughed if someone said Wailing Caverns can be completed extremely easily using 4 hunters and warlock ranging from level 17 to 22. ;)Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17419441414045755394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6840815778697838667.post-81874306392886332382008-07-08T03:55:00.000+10:002008-07-08T03:55:00.000+10:00My big problem is that I really, truly hate lying....My big problem is that I really, truly hate lying. Making stuff up is fine if it's obviously fake or outright impossible, but I just can't stand misrepresenting something.<BR/><BR/>The issue is that when someone says "you don't have purples; you're not geared enough," I can't say "but I'm damn good at what I do; I don't need purples" because I don't know that for certain. If I haven't been through there at least once and proven to myself that I can do it... I can't say that I can.<BR/><BR/>That's why I'm really relieved about this, because now I can say that I can hold my own in a heroic.<BR/><BR/>(P.S.

Especially for DPS, the numbers are more "aim for this" as opposed to "You MUST have this."<BR/><BR/>The keys are confidence and skill. If you're not gimping yourself by thinking you can't do it and you bring a decent amount of skill to the table, you'll do fine regardless of what the numbers say.Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05577775813360031108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6840815778697838667.post-65083180751699751432008-07-08T01:37:00.000+10:002008-07-08T01:37:00.000+10:00Most of the numbers people throw around as minimum...Most of the numbers people throw around as minimum requirements to do something in WoW assume you have very little to no skill. This is a bit less apt for healers and tanks, but still noticeable. I'm pretty sure you can handle Kara if you have a decent group to go with, and the same goes for Heroics.Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17419441414045755394noreply@blogger.com
