Managing 4 characters for elite sets

Just asking for some advice on how to manage characters during this upcoming season. Got my first taste for arena this past season. These elite sets look really cool, and I would like to get them but don’t know good ways to balance out 4 characters.

Like do all 4 at the same time or do 2 early on and then 2 later on?

rough outline for anyone who’s not super sure about what the weekly chores for SL are currently looking like

the very best thing you can do is level early and park your least played alts and just do a 1 day weekly maintenance

your weekly content will consist of

  • Torghast

Highest difficulty + floor 6?(mayb 8) to maximize soul ash (legendary currency)
unfortunately week 1 you have to clear several difficulties through floor 6 (or 8 idr) to reach the final level to maximize soul ash

but the following weeks after unlocking the highest difficulty you can just jump right in and do that one and get all the soul ash for the other difficulties for it

AFAIK there’s currently NO catch up for missed weekly soul ash for legendary crafting
so i’d recommend at minimum just doing this weekly for your underplayed alts that you’re trying to maintain
apparently it’s like 30 min max weekly

  • Renown

Basically a weekly bar that’s filled up via world quests
apparently it’s comparable to the bfa invasion zone fill up bar
Renown is what unlocks your soulbinds and stuff so you’ll wanna keep up with it

afaik there’s a small catch up here so if you miss a week you’re fine but expect it to be about 1 hour if you’re slow weekly

  • Mythic + 15 for cache

if you have friends it’s worth just aiming to get at least a 12 done weekly on your underplayed alts as the cache gear from 12s will be vastly superior to pvp gear early
and +15 cache gear will be better than max pvp gear so getting the weekly cache passively is worth it

all n all you probably don’t need to be even half that sweaty if you’re only worried about the elite sets and you can probably just wait till later in the season to jump in and spam m+ and utilize the catch up systems / rating inflation to meet your goals

Yeah I was reading up on the medivh translated guide last night for a few of these things (forgot about the soul ash thing so I definitely cannot skip out on that). I think the biggest hits would just flat out not having gear, even if I maintained systems. So I think it would be good to try and do m+/conquest earning with 2 at launch to maximize GV chances.

Real questions are how quick the guild can get into mythic for us to maximize that part of the GV for the main, and then I can push the alts for the heroic raid days. I could wait until the end but by then people will be stronger as well. I guess maybe have that hotpoker of a character sitting until the end to get its set last.

Also the classes I was considering were afflock as main, sub rogue, dk and then idk what for mail.

Also I forgot about conduit progression too. Darn thats going to be a bit annoying.

Also regarding the torghast and legendaries, if you’re goal is just 1800 and done then you really only need 1-3 legendaries per spec. That equates to 1-3 weeks per legendary depending on how high you go so you can possibly skip torghast once you acquire your bis legos.

If I’m wrong then someone please correct me.

I was thinking of 2100 because I think the cloak is unique this time between 4 sets. And then anything above that is just lofty but wishful thinking.
