For pug ilvl better over 1475, then they look your roster level, stats, engraving, gems, and your class.

Could it be because I’m a 1460 glaivier? lol

For week one, generally its going to be a guild only type thing else your 5x3 and outgear it. Expect this to be the same for week 2 and possibly week 3 while people develop pug strats. Normal mode right now IS puggable given all the cheese that has been found.

Currently while many pugs are progging and struggling they’re going to want someone 1470+ with mostly lvl 7 gems, proper engravings at least 4x3 and prefer good dps card deck (LWC or LOS12). Note that’s not all groups, but the higher each of these are for you the better your odds.

1460 dps class get one hit lost 2/3 health easily.

Vykass hm ready is likes 4x3 and gems 7

everything more is overgear, people are looking for overgeared guys, that’s pretty sad tho

Most dps would love a glaiver because of the synergy they bring. Just comes down to what they already have in their group.

Relic accessories, 4x3 + 1, lvl 7 dmg gems and gear from Valtan for example if you use nightmare flower. This should get you in to most parties. I reject everyone with legendary accessories.

We have one DPS spot open in our team and we normally look for someone with the following:

ILVL 1475
LEVEL 7 GEMS
ROSTER 130+
5X3 ENGRAVING
LEVEL 3 TRIPODS

This is for DPS. Of course if you keep failing mehcanics, then you are out since you may be holding back everyone else

OP, I think with it being the first week of the raid, and it being quite difficult that most groups have very high requirements for what they want to take. Of course over the next couple weeks as more people gear up and are familiar with the mechanics the “strictness” of what a group is looking for might go down a bit.

My static was all 1480+ 5x3 so dps was not a concern and we just took a random that did NM and finished it in 2 hrs stress free.

Bare bare minimum is
-4 engravings
-lv7 gems
-good tripods like full +3 tripods

my group normally just looks for 4x3 correct gems and stats when we run with pugs and at least tripod +3 on main skills but the tripod check is usually skipped

just because things are clearable at lower engravings/gems/tripods doesn’t mean we expect random people to perform well enough to do so

a lot of parties run into dps problems in g2/g3 though due to people being dead so having stricter requirements will help the clear go a bit faster

I’m sorry but you are just average. You are competing with every other DPS which most likely has higher ilvl than you and/or better engravings, etc. You need to get that ilvl up or find a guild that will put you into a static.

Yeah good luck to most people find a group with 5^3

Thats like fishing for a megladon
Then wanting 6 more to show up

Unfortunately most people don’t know anything about party synergies and proper composition.

Most people don’t care about synergies because they rather have someone competent or overgeared

I feel like this is a thing. Most people will just go pick whatever does more dmg without caring about synergies lol I always try to have as much variety as possible when I create a group.
