What is S1/S2? - I'm sitting on about 1000 honour points now - and I must say, I do enjoy the battlegrounds quite alot! (probably because we still haven't lost one - but i'm sure thats bound to change VERY soon!)
I'm currently on gathering professions - mining/skinning. So no luck in making epic gear, although I am supplying okes in my guild with mats to make me cool armor/enchants/etc. for now. I'm still pondering if I shouldnt drop skinning for something else when i'm 70. - But i'm told the epic pickups are better than what you can actually make, so i'm in two minds - right now I'm going for the fun factor.
As for Kara - our guild is busy prepping its 70s for Kara. There's some site that evaluates your kit and lets you know what you need to be best suited for it (as well as where you've overspecced). We have a dozen or so 70s, but afaik Kara is a 25 man mission (like that Dragon near duskwood? close to Stormwind)
I take it Heroic instances = normal ones but on steroids ?
