Give me the rundown on getting into M+

Learn M+ and the dungeons as DPS. At least at first.

Start off doing 0’s, time all the dungeons, then do +2’s, time every one…

Understand how IO ( your dungeon experience score ) works, you need a score for every dungeon.

Understand with Low iLvl ( 583 is on the low side at this point ) and no IO it’s harder to get accepted. It gets harder the higher the level of key you’re trying to get into. Don’t take it personally when you get declined, it’s not.

Understand not every run will go well, there’s a fail state and there’s people having a bad day or not prepared to deal with that. If something goes sideways, go to WoWHead and look at the guides and figure out what it was, then go run it again.

Don’t take bad runs personally. The low level keys are usually the worst when it comes players unable to handle failure, give or take criticism in a healthy way, and blame others for their own mistakes. Sometimes it will be your fault, sometimes it wont. No big deal.

A “My bad” if you know you made a mistake can go a long ways to keeping a key going smooth. Lets the group know it was mistake, you know it was mistake, and no ones going to be able to fly off the handle and blame them for it.

Learning mechanics, when to use your CD’s, and when to use your defensives is the goal early on. If you’re playing the warlock you don’t need to worry as much about dispels and interrupts, but other specs you’ll need to learn what all the must deal with mechanics are. And as you go up in difficulty that list get bigger.

Experience is king. Just got to run them and take your lumps. Not every run will be great but it does feel good when 5 strangers come together, click, and smash a dungeon.

583 is absolute hotdog water ilvl currently so you’ll want to fully honor upgrade your pvp gear (unless that is cap already) or get a pve set from delves and whatever else you can scrounge up. I guess you could farm some m0 but aint no one inviting a 583.

For 0’s you can sneak in with gear that low.

But ya, if they can run t8 delves, running a bunch of bountiful t8’s is going to initially gear them much quicker.

Aint no one gonna take him to a m0 with 583 pvp gear

First step. Don’t come into mythic + with pvp gear. Most decent players look at the other players gear int he party before starting and if I see a bunch of pvp gear I either kick if I’m the leader or I leave if I’m not. Mythics are already hard enough. Don’t need to carry someone because they are doing a quarter of the DPS as everyone else to make it harder. Go do some delves. They are the quickest way to get a 600ish item level fairly quickly. Next learn some of the dungeons. You don’t have to be a pro but at least know the basic dungeon mechanics. Follower dungeons, mythic 0s, heroics, or even normal dungeons will give you at least a basic understanding of the dungeons.

People act like you gotta be 650 to do these keys I healed 2’s in chill mode at 563. This mentality is absurd and contributes to the toxic nature in this game.

28

At 583 you should be able to m0, but it’d be difficult.

I’d recommend getting at least 600 ilvl to start getting into +2s, which can be achieved fairly easily with gear from delves.

29

Make your own group don’t listen to the mythic gods like this person. It’s a game.

30

+2 gives 597 loot how is this logical?

31

Without friends? I wish you luck honestly. Pugging this season is terrible.

32

It’s not. Mythics are not nearly rewarding enough for how difficult they are currently.

33

We were doing 5’s on M+ release in trash gear too… doesn’t mean PuGs will invite him. I was just stating a fact.

send upgrades on ur glad gear

farm coffer keys

full send on bountiful delves

start crafting

Dont listen to the doomers. If you can pvp you can do m+, it might be slow at first, frustrating waiting for groups and such. But its plenty doable, the season is not dead at all, and there are plenty of low keys being ran all the time.
