Yeah, I'm nervous - I've been poring over WoWWiki's entries for the instance, its trash, and the first two bosses (Voidy and Al'ar) for a few days now.
I feel kinda daunted - I feel like I'm fourth string amongst the hunters in Knights - a couple of Hunters have me obviously out-geared (Maevet being one, clearly :P), and I'm kinda fighting/struggling to stay in third or fourth amongst Hunters. I kinda get this feeling every so often that I'm not doing as well as I could or should. I really wish I had the cash to gem out my stuff with epic gems, but with me being so close (well, relatively) to my epic helicopter, it's just so hard to spend ANYTHING.
I'm hoping for the pants from Void Reaver - they'd make a huge difference in both my wonky hit situation and my DPS. Al'ar doesn't have much for me, given the lack of difference it would make to my DPS, but if we can smash Void Reaver AND Al'ar fast enough, we might get to Solarian... Star-Strider Boots would be a nice replacement to the ones I have now - passing on the Fiend Slayer Boots at Kara last run was so hard, but it was invariably the right choice - the Hunter who received them had green boots - if I hadn't, I would've been so selfish.
I dunno, I feel like I'm in a loot rut. I'm so far away from my new crossbow, and any alternatives to said crossbow are even further out of reach - one does not simply walk up to Archimonde or Illidan and demand lewtz. I dunno if I can get Angelista's now - the Hit that I'd lose from going with it would throw my whole balance out of whack if I get the pants from Void Reaver, and making a Belt of the Black Eagle makes less sense now...
Why can't all this math just be simple? Oh well, I guess that's why I love the class. :)

yep gearing is never simple, which is why i tend to laugh when people in my guild ask me what gear they should go for (then i go and find out their gearing just for the challenge).
but ssc isnt too hard, my guild is able to do void reaver and solarian even though we cant even get down lurker (some people just cannot jump out of the water to save their lives ... literly)
-admon
And the problem NEVER GOES AWAY. You might as well be tight-rope walking over Nagrand for the fine balance that is gear...
Both Al'ar and LootReaver have two basic principles: stay away from the shinies! Flame patch is annoying, but don't sweat it - Al'ar is a tank fight. If you are really ambitious, MD the add tank during P2, to catch any rogue birds. VR, just strafe like heal when somebody nearby screams, and keep running if you run into somebody else that screams.
Don't worry about your DPS, just stay alive.
heh, strafe like *hell*... >.>
