There's at least one valor piece that you can get on patch day (neutral rep). The new rep is gained by killing bosses in the new raid, so depending on how it's paced it might be possible to hit friendly rep pretty quickly as well. No clue on how difficult it will be compared to HoF and stuff as I only do LFR these days.What is the word on buying new valor items in 5.2? One of the guys in my raid says we should all have 3000 valor banked and ready for 5.2. I always remember new items being available only after doing daily quests for rep with new factions when new raids come out, can't imagie it would be any different here.
Also, anyone have an idea of what ilvl a raid might need to start working on the new Thunder King raid? My group has only been raiding for 5 weeks, we are working on clearing HoF, and our average ilvl is around 484. I am hoping we can go into the new raid immediately, but I doubt that is going to be the case.
Don't world first guilds take breaks in between tiers (some, anyway)?Glad that the next raiding tier is on the way. I cannot imagine how World First/Cutting edge guilds hold on for as long as they do. Four months of raiding the current tier and we have had to cancel the last two weeks due to raider disinterest.
My relatively hard core guild, like second on their server, basically told everyone to start getting their alts to 90.I joined a new guild about five weeks ago and we managed to kill heroic Will and were 10/16 heroic. When they announced the release date for 5.2 we stopped progressing that week and the "I don't feel like raiding this shit I'm going to replace in 2 weeks" hangs pretty thick in the air now. At least we're down to 5ish hours a week for the past couple of weeks.
Pretty sure world first guilds spend the entire raiding tier gearing up 3-4 90s per raiderDon't world first guilds take breaks in between tiers (some, anyway)?
