I’d love some advice on how to build good mythic+ groups.
Mythic 0 has been absolutely painful so far, to the point where I’ve had genuine doubts as to whether we’d actually clear the final boss in the dungeons or not, specifically Grim Batol and Stonevault.
So I can’t imagine stepping into higher mythic+ keys, but I’m reaching the point where I need to do that level content in order to upgrade my Hero level gear.
The best advice would be to join a community like No pressure and get friendly with people who you have good runs with.
There are a bunch of “tactics” you can adopt in forming a group, most I would not recommend because they can bite you hard if they go wrong.
Take overgeared people with high score (downside they will leave if its not smooth - or they may want unrealistically massive pulls so they can flex their epeens)
Take only meta classes for keys that don’t really need them (+2, need resto shammy, aug , mage and a CR!!!) - Just no
It’s a bit of a dilemma, on the one hand you don’t want to waste your time in the key, on the other you don’t want to spend so long painstakingly assembling a group that it takes longer than the dungeon would.
If I’m honest, the best test we do is greet people when they join, if they don’t pass the “hi” test chances are they’re douches who will treat you as an npc and leave at the first whiff of trouble.
this absolutely, i kick anyone that does not greet within an acceptable time. Can´t go wrong with that.
2nd best thing you can do is make sure you have 1+ battlerezzez, just makes anythign much more achievable.
3rd tip i can give is avoid meta classes until you are in really high push-only keys, most fotm rerollers do not have a clue what they are doing.
currently you just find loads of people who dont know any boss mechanics.
stone vault is a prime candidate for epic fails
generally the advice:
1-2 BR
1 Bloodlust
in Grimbatol / Stonevault have at least 1 decurse that can also find that button. If not specced into decurse you know it is a potato → kick
in ara kara it is helpful to take poison dispeller. 2 are great 1 shaman with totem is even better. Again if not specced into it → kick
in city of thrrads it is great to either have classes which can dispel thrmselves of slows or have MD priest. Unfortunately there is no fail check and most people dont even know thry can clear the dot at the second boss
