So I leveled a resto shaman on a new realm, hit 70 and got pre-raid BIS. I cant even get invited to a kara or ZA. I cant join a GDKP because I dont have enough gold to be a buyer as i am new to the server and I cant join a regular MS>OS group because I am undergeared and every group wants T6 only for fast runs and does gear checks.
I thought maybe as a undergeared shaman I could still get invited since I provide lust and totems. I have a main on another server thats full T6 and 6/6 sunwell and I try telling the leader I know all the fights but that doesnt matter. I join so many pug runs on my main where they invite people with good gear but who are absolutely terrible at the game, bought their gear, dont buff, play like bots with terrible dps… but thats ok?
This sucks, really takes the enjoyment out of the game.
I recommend doin PVP and getting some easy purples, that’s how I get invited to runs, they see purples they invite, they don’t care if its pvp gear or not
I’m leveling my soon to be wrath main and I figured I’ll just be doing casual PvP for some epics of some kind, farming gold, and working on professions. It sucks but you are trying to break into raiding at one of the hardest times but here soon the floodgates will open.
Did you send materials and items you didn’t equip to an alt and sell them on the AH, while leveling? That should give you more than enough gold to join GDKPs.
Unfortunately at this point no one really wants to do Kara/ZA other than the occasional badge run which people want done fast. Being an undergeared healer is more of a detriment when it comes to 10 mans (esp. Kara) because they’re usually solo healed in favour of more DPS.
Your best bet for gear before Wrath is MGT/Sunwell dailies and do as many heroics as possible for badge gear, all of which is better than Kara gear anyway. There’s not a lot of point in chasing raid gear that’s all going to be gone in a couple months.
Why not? You can get a few thousand gold while leveling, by selling gathering mats, boes, etc. gathered from questing/dungeons on the AH. That’s how I had enough for epic flying.
Why would they, if they aren’t even able to get into raids (if raiding is what they want to do)? And assuming that’s the case, then they can farm gold with their flying mount.
“good” is subjective. It depends on what the OP wants to do. If joining GDKPs that require a few thousand gold is the goal, then not spending on epic flying is a way to go.
There are definitely options. Most GDKP discord servers I know also have SR groups listed, and running regularly. We don’t know which server the OP is on, since they didn’t post on the character in question, and may just be trolling for all we know.
