only 46 so this will seem noobish for a few of you, but the differences between the instances im currently doing are immense it seems.
Scarlet Monestary is a cakewalk being a priest, i just follow the group and slap renew on anyone who takes damage, only need to use real heals if we get a bad pull of 3 or more. ie, very vanilla, not many casters, no special effects worth noteing, and the bosses are pretty much straight main tankable.
Razorfen Downs is a huge difference however, im constantly having to Abolish disease or Dispell because every mob has either a +damage effect or a movement-melee reduction effect. Gets to be tiresome. Also odd is that most of the pulls in the place are 1 or 2 elites and a few non-elites.. most groups ive been in handle this with ae's and that means more healing. Especially since I always seem to have a warlock in the group that wants to hellfire it all down, so pw:shield then blast heals till he stops. Gotten to the point that I won't go there without a mage or someone else buying my drinks.
This ramble won't mean anything for most of you, as im the priest thats been spec'ed for heal and disc my whole career instead of going easy solo'ing shadow. (ishmobbin's muh hero)
wondering who at blizzard made each, and if i should be looking forward to more lazy eq style dungeons, or if I should invest in something besides my uber new tea set

What level is good for BRD? Lowest level to get groups, rather.

yes its goldthorn tea, i suck at the interweb.
downs is annoying, but the spider thing and the lich models are worth seeing, everyone should do the zone at least one time.

What's the level of RFD? At 45 we can trio all of SM easily because the target level range is like 38-42 or so. If RFD is a higher level instance then I imagine it'd be tougher... I agree about dispelling/removing disease though, I had enough of that in Gnomeregan. Mobs that proc disease seem to do it every other hit, so as soon as you cure, the person is diseased again. It got to the point in Gnomeregan that I didn't even bother curing until we were past the troggs.

RFD is around 35-40 I think. When we ran it (don't remember what level we all were, maybe 41-42ish) the only real challenge was the idol event, which was really fun.

brd isnt bad for needing to constantly dispell crap, neither is temple or zul ferrak really.. scholomance and stratholme are both hell for needing to dispell gay stuff, stratholme especially.
getting gay debuffs on you really gets worth, some of the guys in stratholme cast one that makes ghosts spawn out of you and attack ya every few seconds for like 10 minutes, its super gay.
dont worry about brd tho, its really a non caster mobs dungeon, very few casters in it mostly melee or ranged dorfs andd then elementals who do mean AOE DDs but no curses or diseases.

I took a couple of 54's into BRD with me and we did pretty well, though the rest of the party was 60. I know they later went back with a 54-56 party w/ 1 59 and did reasonably well though they had a MUCH harder time.
So 54+, though I REALLY recommend higher and not more than 1-2 people of that level.

My guild took 3 52's and 2 60's and did it without a problem according to them. The 60's were a priest and rogue.

You run into a problem with that.
A warrior *CAN NOT* get agro on a mob 5+ levels over him. Just not possible. Aside from that, there are areas in there that will destroy a group of people under 55.
For example, the 7 ghost room. You need to kill quickly in there, or you won't bet through there. the mobs are all 56 w/ like 15-20k hp. so they take a bit. if you kill slow, they spawn more and more.
Finally, the Lyceum. if you don't have a group that's capable of it... that's where you stop.

You can do maraudon with a 47-48+ group. Good drops there too.

Nah dude.
56 priest, 54 rogue, 48 rogue, 49 war, and 48 shaman. Kind of tough, since Princess is a b***h, but it's quite easy if done before.

You can jump the princesses AoE, so that helps out a bit.

Just do a reverse pin on the back wall and the Princess fight is a total joke. Heck I found the Noxxion fight to be more difficult as a priest because those little water elementals kepth aggroing me.
RFD is easy, especially with a priest that mez undead, since everything is undead in there or almost. Mez one of the 2 elites, kill 1st elite, kill non elites, kill 2nd elite. Repeat 20 times, kill boss, a pushover. Just watch when spiralling to boss not to aggro from higher tiers or you will have a mega train.
BRD is relatively easy in the initial areas, a level 50-55 group should be able to handle a few initial nameds, the ring of law event, etc. Just don't expect to go kill King.
