Is there a gear wall in naxx? We are a BWL guild with 2 bosses in AQ40 down (and no interest in continuing AQ40) We raid only 2 nights a week, and dont have the numbers to support 3 serious raid nights.


There is debate now about being able to get over the gear wall in naxx with just BWL gear, we've killed the Instructor so far on our first night 2 weeks ago.


How important is AQ40 gear to success in Naxx?


Which classes need AQ40 gear and which need 8/8 of BWL gear?

Razuvious is a fight that's very much less dependant on gear, especially since you use NPCs to tank.

How long have you been farming BWL?

Oh and if you do one night on BWL and one night on naxx every week, I have to say I doubt you're going to get too far.

Maexxna and Patchwerk are where you're going to be when you start noticing gear problems I suspect.

I would say most classes can deal with 8/8 T2.



The big deal is in the rings, necks, cloaks, and weapons. The Blessed Qiraji items are far superior to anything your casters have right now, BQW is a better tanking weapon, BQB is a better tanking shield, Angelista's Charm beats every other healing neck, etc. Thottbot is as acessable to you as it is to me, I don't need to tell you Qiraji Execution Bracers are better than Bloodfang.



Patchwerk requires 9k DPS to beat, if you can do that without AQ Gear, I'd be surprised.

There are certain items in AQ40 that are highly beneficial, but of course an upgrade in gear always helps.

It's more the coordination required in AQ40 helps with your progression in Naxx. A lot of Naxx fights have a high level of personal responsibility - think Vael, but on a more demanding scale with more things going on at the same time. If you're not used to farming consumables, Naxx will also be a rough to you...

Just little things to note.
There really isn't a gear wall if you ARE wearing T2/T2+ for starting Naxx. It helps if you have AQ40 on farm, but not necessary.

Arguable, and not a huge upgrade anyway.

If you're wearing only 3 pieces of bloodfang, bracers are strictly superior to Qiraji Execution (I passed them to feral druids and warriors).

1. Fight stuff.
2. If you keep dying, go get better gear.
3. Go back to Step 1.
