My gear score stands at 5200, primarily due to my participation in the Trial of the Crusade. During that time, Tier 8 gear was considered Best in Slot (BiS) for priests, granting us additional spell power. Back then, I had no trouble finding groups to join. However, with the release of Icecrown Citadel (ICC), the minimum gear score requirement has risen to 5400, the lowest I’ve encountered.
Nowadays, I struggle to secure raid spots, despite consistently outperforming most healers in Vault of Archavon (VoA) raids. What should I do in this situation?
While i dont pug with my disc, i can understand that it will be harder to get into groups with ignorant raid leaders due to how powerfull t8 is.
You can just get yourself a GS set, PvP gear is actually very powerfull for disc since we value spellpower so much higher than anything else. and you can swap to t8 once you have started the raid.
