Ive made my recruitment profile on Raider IO, posted on the recruitment forums here, communities are really hard to navigate through cause it doesnt show which are active or not, and other than making tank friends for +20 and up, i dont really have any DPS associates.
Where can you find a solid M+ team? Excluding guild, because my guild isnt really into M+
My best advice is play the long game. Do as many keys as you can at as high level as you can. When you feel things are a good match, say something akin to âgoing to add you guys, so we can team up again.â You are not trying to make friends here, only a muteal benefitial relationship. Make a folder in your WoW friendslist called M+ raiders. Then actively try to engage with them in one of two ways.
Note: If you find someone to be toxic by your standards or you simply dont vibe, just remove them instantly. Donât look back.
Now once you got communication going, you will gradually also socialise with them. What personality they are will decide if you can connect on a meme level, or if it will only be rio farming. The Rio farmer will not care for your alt runs, but the memeâr might love to come on a latenight drinking session slapping 16s for crafted gear on alts. Memeâr might not always want to push, the Rio farmer will be all about them numbers going up.
Given enough time - you will have made connections and you will know who that can be mixed and matched inside your networking. You only get better at it. They also get to know what to expected from you. In 8/10 cases, you will not be compatible longterm as gamers, of the 2 remaining, mabye a 0.5 will stick around to push keys season to season. But given enough time you will have your team - a group of people to play with, at your own level of skill.
Iâm taking this means youâve added some tanks to your friendslist, why not add some DPS players to? Just whisper good DPS players after runs and just let them know that you plan to make a fixed team and want them there.
Honestly its been more of tank whispering me âhey can i add you to friends to push later?â Dps usually just leave amd go about their business fast, but i guess tank and heals have a tendency to bond quick. If i trust my tank i cam pump more dps to speed up the run, if he trusts me he knows he can go big and to 40% hp and know i havent forgotten about him and heâll be just fine
i know some people succeed by making those groups on FB warcraft groups . its always nice to look for guilds that run a lot of high m+ keys but you have tobe good enough to keep up with their standards .
thats because tanks and healers know how horrible pugging is and that they prefer to not pug.
Well if you want to push keys you are going to have to play the meta.
As a m+ only player playing a Brewmaster Monk, this season has been extremely frustrating. In the beginning of the season I didnât get invites because Iâm a Brewmaster and didnât have any setpieces so I could only start pushing about 8 weeks into the season. Then I was able to push to about 2.9k rating and now when iâm in the 22 bracket iâm not getting any invites anymore because, well, Iâm a Brewmaster.
If you want to push higher then 2.9k as a tank, better play a warrior. Iâve already accepted that the season is over for me.
Itâs extremely hard to find potent players to group up with and form a team. All good players at this level are pretty much in CE guilds and donât pug that much/play witht heir guild. If you donât want to raid CE those guilds probably wonât recruit you because there is no such think in WoW as m+ guilds (on a high level).
And the average 2.9k-3k rated player I see in my pugs are just ⊠underwhelming.
Raid CE for a tier and get to know poeple or you wonât push high keys. Thatâs pretty much it.
Keep playing 21+ keys and add the people you like.
Eventually youâll have a list full of people that play for score and not for gear/vault.
The better you play, the easier it is to make friends, being a Meta healer/tank will help you tremendously as well.
If you can get into voice itâs pretty much over as you will no longer see each other as âjust that Evoker/Warrior tankâ and will start associating/playing more if you keep at it.
You know whats really funny, ive had some of my best 20+ runs with a brewmaster 
maybe they overperform yo beat the stigma but that stagger is beautiful when im prepping my combos.
Brewmaster is a great tank and the only poeple left playing it at a high level are the ones very competent at it.
So you probably will have very good experiences with that spec at high keys.
But ⊠itâs not a warrior so poeple donât want it.
Same. I think most people want 3k or close to it for their 22s, is understandable though. I thought it was due to being Outlaw instead of Sub but seems like overall queues are quite slow because thereâs a fair amount of players in the same bracket.
In my opinion you have to run keys constantly if you want to find people, maybe if the key goes well you you can offer the next key to give it a try.
In my experience people that donât leave the key instantly after finishing theyâre up for the next one. You can also comment on chat âclean runâ or something along the lines.
pugs are also mostly miserable. I rarely meet good players and then I say to myself âwow! that was easy!â.
at the moment there are communities and you can even invite both fractions.
until mid bfa i was in top horde guild. and as already said, they want you to raid. there were also top m+ players. I donât know pure m+ guilds. at least my alliance server is dead. you probably have to switch the server.
what else is possible:
push your own keys and add good players. there is addon to group dps, healers and tanks. then you can quickly put a group together.
it is, however, a question of motivation. because there are no rewards in m+ after 2500 and loot is the last garbage. especially after the valor uncap.
You could try
I honestly had the same problem until just recently.
The discord communities for mythic + literally feel like ingame pugging with an extra step that doesnât even improve the overall situation. At least from my expirience all groups from such communities were failures as well and shortly before i left those servers, i was lucky to get contacted.
If i had more time besides my real life and playing then i would probably create a discord that mainly focuses on team building and think about the details on how to set it up. Although i donât even know if team building for mythic + is a common thing in WoW.
Sometimes you have really smooth runs and everyones happy, these are the moments where iâd ask if any of them is interested in forming a team or asking if they have one with an open spot.
I made enough friends this way that are also good players, if i was interested in making a team, this is how iâd do it
