Serious question...how do I gear at 80?

Use the credit card enough to get into Gdkps, the. Use it more in gdkps to get to a high enough gear level that you carry other credit card enjoyers.

There are so many people being gatekept. Maybe all those people could work together?

Start your own Nax world tour with 4 soft reserves and don’t invite many classes who will try to take your gear. Super ez just funnel yourself

Ah, you’re one of those people.

Step 1. Buy a few BOEs
Step 2. Get full furious offset pieces. 232 ilvl far exceeds what you can get in h+ or naxx.
Step 3. Join naxx GDKPs as a buyer, you can get so much stuff for min bid
Step 4. Try to get into H+. Once you have 4k GS you shouldn’t have too much trouble getting in.

My oh my thank you very much for your helpful suggestion! I will make sure to do what seems to be a very obvious solution that somehow I just couldn’t think of!

If you a dps/hels You can use pvp gear to supplement tank You’ll have an easier time getting in to heroics or heroic+

Depending on the server It’s a little bit harder to supplement pvp gear in that though because well tanks Resilience Isn’t the best tinking stat depending on what type of tank you are.

pvp, buy your gear on the AH, join a GDKP, form your own group, or that is the fun part you don’t.

Some of these suggestions are so ridiculous. I’m not attacking the people making the suggestions but more so the game that necessitates it. Why should you have to pvp to get gear for pve content?!? You have to work on factions to get rep gear? Well in the past you’d run heroics to get rep for those factions. Argent tournament gear? That stuff takes ages to get. If only we had rdf which you know could allow people to get in and start off their gear grind. Heroic ++ is probably just going to make things harder for new 80s.

So basically blizzard has royally messed up gearing for fresh 80’s by not having RDF.

What you do is the bare minimum not to get afk’d out in BG’s until you have enough GS to get into raids, you can ignore H+, and soon H++, these aren’t for gearing catchup.

Get into heroic normal and do some pvp for a weapon. You can also buy 213 bracers boe and maybe try to form a p1 raid like naxx, os, and eoe. It might be a trick but a gdkp for eoe with a very low start bid and a high mount bid might help you get some high level players.

Sorry I only played original wrath until phase 2 so I never saw RDF. I’m curious, with RDF can you queue for multiple categories? Like utgarde keep H+, ulduar 10m, arena 5v5 at once? doesn’t seem to let you do that right now with LFG.

The funny thing is that H+ aren’t even hard, but most players these days are so bad and/or in-a-hurry (not playing for fun) that they have to be grossly over-geared to want to run them.

So on top of being a solo experience to get to max level it’s a solo experience to get geared to get into toxic as ef heroic+?

Good stuff, very MMO.

You cant queue for raids…its random DUNGEON finder

if only there was a gear progression plan that worked all of wotlk.

Like, doing regular heroics, then 10mans, then 25mans, then the new raids.

Shame we have modern blizz who wants everyone to do 5mans, 5mans that prevent alts from progression, new players from progression and force raiders to do them for badges.

Annnnnnnnnnnd there it is. Without fail.

If you can’t find normal heroic groups run Naxx. Don’t bother with h+.

Good job responding to a comment that was posted some 9 hours before yours as if you’re some kinda sorcerer for predicting somebody would mention RDF in a thread about gearing a new Level 80 character. :pray:

Good job on posting with a sock puppet. I somehow doubt you’ll even see this due to your spinning different forum toons. Can’t wait for Blizz to implement battle tags here.

Not sure where you get I had any form of intent on predicting anything outside of calling out where this thread would immediately divulge toward with at least one person. Y’all just can’t help yourselves.
