Long time casual pugger here. VON5/6 is one of my favourite raids, and yesterday had the luck to jump on a R3 heroic pug. As so often, a slightly chaotic but fine run of VON5, rapidly became a bit of a mess at VON6. Several quit, but about five of us stuck with it, got the pillars down, and had a genuine scrap with Velah but got there in the end. Someone pulls an SoS and kindly offers a roll, which I win - happy days.
No immediate plans for a sword build, but obvs got to build for it sometime. What I am wondering is whether to upgrade to eSoS (have plenty parts). I run both heroics and epics. Looking at wiki, the epic obviously is better in absolute terms (doh) but I'm much less clear about which is better relative to level. Any advice?
