What on earth are people looking for in these dungeons? Sitting at 619 across the board with no way to push past without the gilded crests… get hard declined for 2 hours, try to post my own key and 1 dps signs up in an hour. am i just done for the season ?
I think the competition is stiff. A lot of people with high ilvl and high IO at this point. So people will wait until someone applies that fits what they’re looking for. What key are you trying to push? I notice difficulty at the +10 level mostly.
So you can’t get invited due to massive number of applicants but simultaneously nobody actually applies to keys?
At least you achieved KSM. Are you trying to reach KSH or even title?
The best bet? Learn to tank.
Tanks and healers are in short supply and we get invited pretty quick. With the filter changes I almost always look for groups with tanks or healer spot available with the ither role being filled. We get to pick and choose.
Last time I put up my own key, as tank, i had 23 DPS applicants. Before I picked a single one.
So yeah.
Just gotta keep at it. Listing your own key is really your only bet as a DPS. I’m 2500ish IO 622 ilvl and I’m just now getting where I can get invited to a +8 if I app for 5-10 minutes.
Just the nature of the beast. A lot of 2600 and 2700 630 ilvl DPS apping to the same keys I am.
ilvl is one of the lowest vetting priority when pugging.
In my opinion:
- Group comp
- Overall IO/Score
- Highest timed key for the dungeon being applied for
- ilvl
Depends on the key you are posting. A lot of times people avoid keys when the key holder is low score. If you are 2k IO and posting a +9 then you are better off dropping the key level.
Ngl the biggest thing that’s happening to you is your a warrior … ppl who have low I.o atm don’t understand any keys below 13 the class doesn’t matter but they see enhance shammy and DK doing massive dmg from their fav streamer and leaderboard … the only way for warriors to I.o jump is doing our own keys the was I got to 2881 is all 10s then all 11 and 12s it sucks but that’s the way of the warrior
This isn’t only a warrior or non-meta thing. This is how you pug successfully by doing world tours one key level at a time.
