I know many have dabbled in Heroic instances and others have been doing them regularly. I think there are now enough people getting keyed to try and schedule one or two a week. This is a thread for people to make requests for runs and to make general comments about heroics. Didn't want it to get it all mixed up in the "HELP US HELP YOU" thread.

I will attempt to post runs based on what keys are held by the majority of individuals. But if there is something specific you want, please don't hesitate to ask!

And just in case you did not know this already: In order to run a heroic instance, you must have a key from that faction; which means you need to be revered and then go purchase the key from the Quartermaster.

Also wanted to add that Heroics are supposed to be crazy hard and are not for the faint of heart or those who do not like BIG repair bills. Consider yourselves warned!

Below are the instance that can be run on Heroic and the faction associated with each.

Hellfire Citadel (Honor Hold):
Hellfire Ramparts
The Blood Furnace
Shattered Halls

Coilfang Reservoir (Cenarion Expedition):
Slave Pens
The Underbog
The Steamvault
Auchindoun (Lower City):
Mana-Tombs
Auchenai Crypts
Sethekk Halls
Shadow Labyrinth
Caverns of Time (Keepers of Time):
Escape from Durnholde Keep
Opening the Dark Portal
Tempest Keep (Sha'tar):
The Mechanar
The Botanica
The Arcatraz

You missed a faction and some instances: Honor Hold - Ramparts, Blood Furnace and (God help us) Shattered Halls.

Frenial and Frocked are both keyed for all heroics. I know there's a fair number of interesting things for both in a number of the instances, so I'd sign up either for any run if needed.

Yes, I just noticed that myself... something about my cut and paste did not work very well. I will fix it momentarily!

Thanks, Fren.

Unless things have changed, the boss in Ramparts won't even drop a Primal Nether, so that one's really pointless.

I have no Heroic experience (yet), but my understanding is that difficulty goes something like this, from 'easiest' to hardest.

Blood Furnace
Mechanar
Slave Pens
Ramparts
Underbog
Steamvaults
Auchenai Crypts
Sethekk Halls
Botanica
Durnholde
Arcatraz
Mana Tombs
Shadow Labrynth
Shattered Halls

Having successfully completed both a number of times, I would put Underbog easier than Slave Pens, because SP requires a specific group makeup to complete effectively.

Also fair warning that mind control in Heroic instances is currently broken, and many of them are inclined toward MC for crowd control (Hellfire, Coilfang, Durnholde).

Oh, and I have all the keys.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, keep 'em coming!

Not quite: the dragon rider won't drop a badge (still bugged ATM), but he's not the final boss. That, apparently, is the guy off to the right. (The one who throws you about and has that nice little aura which does ridiculous amounts of damage.) He does drop a nether.

Difficulty will change immensely according to group makeup. If you don't have a priest for Sethekk Halls, you're in trouble. If you don't have two priests and a mage for Auchenai Crypts, your life will be difficult. (Well, your life will be difficult anyway 'cause that one sucks - Sethekk Halls is probably easier.) Warlocks make life so much nicer in Blood Furnace and Mechanar. In general, the more instance specific crowd control you can bring, the better, 'cause when the dogs in Ramparts hit cloth for 2500 for example, the fewer things hitting anyone the better.

I'm keyed for Coilfang and CoT... for what it's worth.

Warlocks are win in any instance under all circumstances.

.. but especially heroics that are crawling with banishable/enslaveable demons, yes.

Fealane and I, working very hard to get our rep at revered. Most of our rep are about 10k/12k or so. We are very very close.

I've gone to 2 so far and they are HARD!

I'm keyed for Coilfang and up for a run any old time.

Plasmo - I know you are usually on later at night. I'm planning a run on Saturday at 7:00 but if the group is still around, perhaps we can sub you in for a second run later that night.

I'd like to try a heroic run as well, coilfang, HH, auch, CoT. any of them.

I did Sethekk Halls on heroic last night

it was MADNESS

(but fun)

I need five more badges for my Blood Knight War Cloak :(

I have YET to do a heroic and ironically, the easiest heroic instance, I am not keyed for. JOY!

Since we are not quite at the point of having enough players for 2 Kara groups per week, I thought perhaps we could run a heroic at the same time as the Kara runs so everyone gets to try something challenging! Once I see how many sign-ups we have for this week's Kara run, I'll try to organize something. (Of course, this will depend on who all is keyed for what.)

Woot! Sounds good!

If not a heroic, maybe just another 5-man for those of us not keyed for kara or heroics. ;) I promise to be avail.

Ya... like maybe Mech? So I can get my recipe?! :D

heh. I'll be game for whatever.

If we go to Mechanar, I'll get closer to being keyed for TK heroics!

I'm now keyed for all heroics.
