Getting back into PvE

Getting back into PvE - Woman Getting Some Foods in the Refrigerator

I just had a break from WoW when the PvP season ended and I came back this week. I want to get back into raiding but my lvl 90 Ele Sham has terrible 475 gear. How can I get back into raiding as soon as possible?People say timeless Isle, but without gear the killing of the mobs requires double the effort. Is there no other way of getting my gear up quickly? Without the forming of raids to get old gear?

I've recently geared up my Balance Druid from scratch (new level 90) to ilvl 510 in less than 3 days. I'll list the complete steps below in case it's useful to someone. You can jump to step 4 since you're already at ilvl 475:

  1. Do scenario 'Arena of Annihilation' for the first time and get ilvl 450 weapon. (10-15 minutes)

  2. Do random scenario and 5-man dungeons, each 1-2 times per day, to get ilvl 463 armors and collect Justice Points/Valor Points to weekly limit. (4-6 hours total)

  3. If you have crafting profession for your class, you can craft the ilvl 476 PvP armors to fill those slots that you didn't get any 463 armors. If you don't, you can buy them on the AH, they're very cheap now as in patch 5.4.

  4. Go to Timeless Isle, do the basic 'Talk to X' quests and open all chests within your reach along the way, you'll get at least 3-4 timeless ilvl 496 gears and some Timeless Coin. (<1 hour)

  5. Buy a stack of Golden Glider and use them to grab the Blazing Chest which has a guaranteed loot of Burden of Eternity. (10-15 minutes)

  6. Put on the timeless armors and use the Burden of Eternity to upgrade the slot that have the most itemization value to ilvl 535, which is Chest or Leggings. This will effectively raise your combat ability to do the quests on the isle.

  7. Do dailies and random grinding on the Timeless Isle until you get 50 Lesser Charm of Good Fortune. If there are people attacking elite mobs you can hitchhike to get a chance of loot. Now you should have 10k+ timeless coins, go to the cave and gamble with all the coins. You'll get another at least 3-4 timeless gears from this process and if you're lucky you'll get 1-2 Burden of Eternity's. Again, apply the Burdens to the slots with high itemization value. (2-8 hours depending on your class, spec and gear)

  8. Now your ilvl should be over 480. If not, go to the Valor Quartermaster in Niuzao Temple to buy some 489 JP gears. (Note the name is VP vendor but he sells JP gears.)

  9. You can queue for Throne of Thunder LFR to get some ilvl 502 loots, as well as do daily Heroic Scenario run to get some ilvl 516 gears. (4-6 hours total)

  10. Now your ilvl should be over 496. If not, since you're already Friendly with Shado-Pan (thanks to the ToT run), you can buy ilvl 522 VP gears (preferable necklace, then ring or trinket) from the Shado-Pan Quartermaster in Niuzao temple.

  11. If you're still not 496 yet, you can either buy some 496 PvP gears with Honor Point from the Honor Quartermaster on Serpent's Spine, or continue grinding on Timeless Isle.

  12. Once your ilvl hits 496, queue for Siege of Orgrimmar LFR. Don't forget to turn in the Lesser Charm of Good Fortune's for Warforged Seals before you enter the raid. Use Wowhead, Atlasloot or AskMrRobot to find out which boss drops the best loot for you and you may want to use the bonus roll.

Good luck!

Who is the best destiny PvE player?

New World works on many fronts, from its leveling systems to its combat, and yet the more I play the more I find there are two main problems the game has on each of its fronts, PvE and PvP.

Can New World be played PvE only?

For all of the newfound joy in PvP, however, Destiny's PvE game suffered from the change. Those one-shot weapons Bungie made less accessible to improve the Crucible were the same weapons that were essential to taking down high-level PvE enemies.
