Hey, question for those that have done a bunch of these PLs already: what do you do to cross the 10-12 gap? That was ALWAYS the hardest part of heroics for me. It seems like I never had a problem getting to lvl 10, but then I'd be stuck there forever with those precious green steels tantalizingly out of reach...
You have to hold levels.
Grind VoN3 Reaper/Elite/Hard, and maybe Shadow Crypt if you have an opener.
Finish wilderness Explorers when possible, it's easy XP, even if it isn't particularly fast.
Level 10 is a dead zone for content, there's really only Restless Isles, Sorrowdusk, and Dragonblood Prophecy, none of which are grindable. HiPS is doable, if you can stomach it (I just think it's dull as shit).
So if you weren't holding levels until 11 before, start holding them at 8 or 9. Red Fens is a good filler if you didn't run that content before. It's easier to justify since the gear was updated.
An at level VoN5-6 run will cover a lot of ground too, but groups are few and far between (on Cannith, anyway).
YMMV.
