The trick is, finding a group or individual that will teach you!

Most groups, raids or 5-man hero runs, want geared players for a couple reasons. 1) They want to be pulled, 2) They don't know the fight(s) and "a geared player will?", 3) Are in a rush. I would hope that #3 is the most common but I guess that varies realm to realm... I know I just want to slam as many 5-man emblem runs into a night as I can stopping only for healer mana...

When I first hit lvl80 earlier this year. I avoided instances like the plague. I worked on other things (Art flying, Exalted Reps, Non-combat Pets, Mounts, Alts, anything!) first. I got lucky though, a few people that I meet while lvl'ing asked me to come do this or that... We had so much fun I got invited back not because of my DPS, but because they were LFM and we had fun the previous time and ***I*** did not make the same mistake twice.
