Re: ZA Bear Run Tips

Looking at your group you've a far from ideal composition of specs/gearing so the biggest benefit to start with (before you even start looking at fine-tuning in terms of mobs to avoid, routes etc) is getting EVERYONE in your group specced and geared optimally.

To echo Coud - you've a very low hit rating and you've gemmed for haste as affliction as well as using damage/sta gems. Just gem for hit/damage (or plain +damage) and get those bracers enchanted. The very minimal amounts of haste aren't doing you any favours at all in either affliction or destruction modes.

I don't know which Shaman comes with you but they've all got some very sub-par gem choices and enchants (AP instead of str gems/enchants doesn't scale with BoK....runspeed/AP meta gems instead of the Skyfire Diamond).

Mages - gemming for haste early and in one case a terribly low hit rating...(and frost really does lag behind Fire for DPS).

Rogue - really, really low hit rating, crit and AP gems instead of hit/agi or straight agi....

I really don't want to have a "dig" at people's gear and specs too much but its the little things that make all the difference here...every single person will need to be giving 110% in terms of focus and preperation because to be honest the Bear run is tuned for a higher level of gearing.

I'm not saying you can't do it because I'm sure that with some effort you can - I am however saying that everything needs to be absolutely optimal.
