Well, great. I was sleeping so now I'm behind...
There is no part of this game you're 'behind' on. lol
You have like... over 12 hours to do the dailies :lol
To queue for LFR in a week, you will need EVERY slot filled by a heroic drop. That's crazy to me because everyone will get hit by some shoddy luck in at least a slot or two. I guess I may have one valor item by then, but it's still too unforgiving IMO. It should be a minimum ilvl of 457 or 460 to give some leeway for bad luck.

People are gonna *love* it when they figure out you need a 463 ilvl to get into LFR next week and the only way to actually get 463 is to get 100% heroic pieces or every slot but one + a Coren trinket.

Yes. The min ilvl is 463 when it releases next week : /

when it releases next week... I thought it was today, Jesus Christ. The ilvl requirement is just fine, I'm happy about it.
Thanks for the heads-up on needing 463 for the LFR queue next week. I honestly hadn't given thought to it and figured I was fine with a general smattering of 450-463's. I'll make sure I'm set by then.
To be clear, it's not actually a 463+ in every slot, but an overall item level (not equipped) of 463+, as per the Character sheet, right? That is, 442/463, for example.
Also:
No one knows?, re: either question?

I think the rule was changed to equipped gear.

I don't want to log out of the game to install a coords map. Queue on ravencrest EU is hours long if you try to log in after 17.00

Its theoretically possible if you grind away dutifully, you could get Klaxxi up to Revered by then, but other than that, yeah, you'll need full 463 heroic gear.

Just like they slapped on pvp blues to queue for heroics this expansion, and just like folks wore gladiator gear to fool gearscore addons/LFR in Wrath/Cata.
As before, your best bet is to LFR with a large group of guildies to ensure some amount of quality in your raid.

ilvl reqs are pretty crazy, but my guild is ready to start raiding tonight with the full group in 463. Nutty amounts of time was spent given the stingy Heroic drop rates.
I would be totally fine with the ilvl rule if they adjusted the rule with one tweak. If you're in a 100% premade group, it ignores ilvl.
Isn't that just called... Going to the raid and running it?
Who does that?

That's not necessarily a bad thing. The "starter" honor PvP gear is better than the heroic gear. It's kind of sad.
See above. They really need to fix this shit. PvP gear better than equivalent heroic gear better than Justice gear.
The PvP stuff should be on par or slightly worse (Why the fuck is it epic anyway? Not that color makes much of a difference.) than heroic gear. The Justice gear should be on par with heroic gear.
If you want to have the stuff that's currently Justice gear locked behind some reps and nothing else, that would be cool, but the reps take too long to grind for that iLvl to be worth anything.
It's a big mess really. I have no idea how no one noticed/pointed out, or at least listened to people that were, that this early end-game system was fucked up.
I mean, the heroics are so easy anyway that it's not like you need the extra preparation gear beyond questing stuff unless you were short iLvls. But I guess that's what happens when all the heroics are basically what were max level normals in the previous expansions.
Not a huge fan so far.

It's a scenario now.

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
Is that even still possible? LOL. I haven't actually walked into a raid or dungeon in so long that I honestly am not sure of the answer!
Personally, I'm going to take my time gearing up and wait for when Blizzard drops the entrance reqs and nerfs the content. Because they always do, and then I can run the raids with pugs and casuals and do my sightseeing and enjoy the relaxing instance trip. I used to rush and do the hardcore stuff, but my WoW experience has taught me that everything in the game gets easier with time. And by easier, I mean less time consuming. Hell, I haven't even entered a Pandaria zone at all yet, and some of you are already done with them!

They should do that, and then make it so you can enter the raid with only 10 of the people required, and then the gear is about 13 ilvls higher. Also, you have to physically go to the raid and you can only do it once per week. You can choose your own loot system too.
With mass summon gone, me and my group will be lol
They're still out in the world :/

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!

Still have to walk into raids, you can't queue for challenge modes either. So yeah, entrances everywhere. I was walking into a few heroics last night to help guildies who were a couple itemlevels too short to queue also. I've always preferred going to the entrances.
I was being sarcastic, but does that work? Will it ignore ilvl if you just walk in?

Meeting stones are still there too! I think the last time I used one of those was in Wrath, pre 3.3.
Or a friendly neighborhood Warlock. Haven't used one of them either in awhile, but I also haven't raided recently either. Very limited usage outside raiding.
The itemlevel restriction is just there to make the queued groups run smoothly. Any old group can walk in if they're at the proper level.

They could have of course left that in if they really wanted by merely forming the group cross-realm and forcing you to zone in manually.

Well that was quick
Playing my monk until they fix hunter , its absolutely absurd they're complete pieces of shit dps in the game right now.

The meters I've seen in MoP for my SV hunter have been less than ideal. Doing less DPS than a shadow priest and a prot paladin on the brewfest boss. I was beating the boomkin, but their gear was about 6 or 10 ilvls worse than mine and they hadn't reforged, gemmed, or enchanted anything.
Feels bad man.

Feels bad man indeed , I'm glad I can share my pain with someone... haha. Its really bad , MM always lands me in 3rd in most heroics and I'm decently geared. Got my boots from sha/epic helm from engineering. Hit/exp capped and all gem.d out. Still pulling 35k dps.. which is terrible. I can burst up to 60k or 80k but the sustain is bad.
But for now.. I'll enjoy leveling this monk.

I need to grab some meter addons and do some testing while I'm running Heroics just to see how bad it actually is. (For the most part, I've kinda ignored having damage meters on my UI.)
Also, Barrage is pretty cool. Pretty funny to see your guy just shooting TONS of arrows in a matter of seconds. Works surprisingly well on single enemies too. (Basically, you shoot a crapton of shots at them.) The only bad things are that it's Channeled (boo) and is pretty much guaranteed to hit anything and everything within a 40 yrd range (I read the radius on it was like 140 degrees?), which can undoubtedly hit crap you were hoping not to hit.
I've been running dungeons with hunters and haven't noticed any problems, but that's potentially because I was concentrating on monk tanking instead of recount.
That's sort of the point though: dps doesn't really matter much at the moment. Even if hunter dps is bad right now, it shouldn't stop you from doing any content short of raids or challenge mode dungeons.
I'll stick it out because I find it hard to believe that Blizz would let hunters languish but it's certainly not encouraging for the time being.

All joking aside, it does make you second guess your abilities. After 8 years of WoW, do I now suck?
I hadn't personally run meters since early WotLK because there just hadn't been a pressing need to. Enough people did and I was somewhere in the top so no big deal. This current DPS business as me re-evaluating my lack of use of meters to try and troubleshoot this.
Don't have barrage myself. Not even sure if that's an MM thing or if that's a new talent that the theorycraft suggested I not grab.
PvP gear is 464.
