Haven’t been able to play too much this week because of work. I remember from last season that people were having pretty unrealistic ilvl requirements even just a few days into the season. You pretty much had to have a minimum 460 ilvl to get invited to heroic pugs even just three days into the season (and the only way you got gear that quickly was by nolifing M+).
I got lucky and joined a heroic pug 2 hours into the season (so obviously no one expected you to have S4 gear yet) and managed to very easily clear the first 5 bosses (would’ve gotten Dathea too if the RL didn’t have to leave), despite everyone being only 480-490 ilvl. Heroic Aberrus is like Weenie Hut Jrs compared to Heroic Vault (not that Heroic Vault is actually hard, it’s just that Aberrus is so easy), so I feel like a group of half-decent 490 ilvl players could clear it pretty easily, except for maybe Sark. But I’m worried that I’m gonna have trouble getting invited to heroic pugs because my ilvl is only ~490 and many groups will be expecting at least 495-500.
So I’m just curious what players with more experience than me expect to be the unofficial min ilvl requirement for pugs next week
