Hey all,

I departed the game right before the expansion that dealt with the Alarian (or whatever it was) language requirement went live. It should have been sometime in mid to late 2011. At the time all my toons were 90, top group or raid geared, and had 5000-7000 aa's.

Well, now I'm finding myself wanting to come back. I recently logged in to check my toons out, make sure they were still there, and see what there was going on. I have a 90 sk (top group gear, few minor raid pieces), 90 bard (raid geared), 90 zerker (partial raid geared), 90 ranger (partial raid geared), and a 90-ish shaman (crap gear).

My questions: 1) As I ding 91 and start heading towards 100, at what point should I pause to gear the SK so he can keep tanking? He's in cultural gear with a couple raid pieces, so I thought about dinging 91 and immediately making him a new suit of 91 required, 95 recommend cultural gear to buy him a few more AC and HPs, but can I wait until 96 and do it then?

2) I've been told the best path to 100 involve a LOT of heroic adventures. I'm not super familiar with them because I've been out so long. What's the deal with them? Why are they "heroic?" Can I multi-box them, or do they require lots of moving around? In my prime I could three box pretty easily, and run four rather inefficiently. But if I have to move a lot in the heroic adventures or avoid respawns that would be next to impossible. Would it just be less stress if I parked myself in a lvl 90 hotzone and did a normal group exp thing?

3) Recommendations on gearing up along the way to 100? Can I skip the alarian language thing? I thought I saw some post somewhere about getting 100 in alarian without having to do a ton of missions/tasks... maybe if I purchased Heroic characters??? I forget.

Thanks for any advice! I'm excited about getting back in game, but want to be somewhat realistic about expectations.
