Looking at the list of things to do with 6.2 on MMO-Champ, the raid relevant stuff seems scattered everywhere, so I wanted to make a list of things that I need to be doing to max my raid power.
Hellfire Citadel:
Shipyard:
Kazzak:
Tanaan Reputations:
Weekend events:
There is a ton of other stuff too - a lot of it could be useful for offspec sets, like the 695 items from ordered of the awakened. Open a bunch of baleful tokens to get well-rolled item, then buff it to 695. Instant offspec trinket/neck/etc. Also, if you haven't been following every buff/nerf on the PTR obsessively (because, you're a sane, healthy individual and not me), then double check that your old talent choices are still the right ones.
Hellfire Citadel:
- Watch videos! Our likely order is Assault-->Reaver-->Council-->Kilrogg. The second boss is a "dodge bad stuff" fight, so at the very least, you'll want to watch that video a couple times so you recognize when she telegraphs her moves.
- Read your
dungeon"adventure" journal to make sure you know the ability list.
Shipyard:
- Your next stage of the ring, as well as the loot crates, will come from here, so you want this up and running once we're eligible to trigger those missions.
- Unlike followers, your ships counter abilities based on ship type (you choose to build), crew type (random assignment) and cargo. Cargo slot #1 is when they hit rare, Cargo slot #2 when they hit epic quality. If don't like your randomly assigned cargo, you have to go out and get the plans for almost all of the cargo items. Some are from rare spawns in Tanaan, some are from Tanaan reputation vendors.
Kazzak:
- Has a lot of oddly itemized, i705 loot. If your class/spec benefits equally/nearly-equally from the various secondary stats, some of his loot could be quite good for you. For example, Chipped Soul Prism is very strong for Boomkins.
- You get a ton (6-12) of Felblight when you kill him. Crafted stuff goes up to 715 now, while hHFC is 705-720, so you can plug any weak points in your gear (especially if you have a useful off spec) with crafted stuff. After we outgrow crafted stuff, you'll be wanting felblight to for the +75 stat gems.
Tanaan Reputations:
- Vol'jin's Headhunters has a couple of items you'll want for raiding - plans for building battleships at your garrison (honored), and a reusable augment rune (exalted) and two shipyard cargo plans (honored). Also a double-oil garrison follower, but so far it looks like most of your oil is going to have to come from doing dailies since they provide 10x (600-750 vs 60-75) the oil of a garrison mission.
- Order of the Awakened: a unique ship blueprint at exalted.
- Saberstalkers: nothing raid relevant, though you need them for flying, which makes doing
the otherseverything faster. Haven't done anything with this myself, but it looks like the old Silithus model of farm little ones to summon big ones to kill in a group.
Weekend events:
- One of these per weekend, four of the seven are useful for raiding.
- Mythic Dungeon Weekend - Do four mythic dungeons, get a hHFC cache.
- Timewalking Weekend (can be either TBC of WotLK) - do 5 timewalking dungeons, get a HFC bonus roll token. This weekend is a timewalking weekend!
- Apexis Weekend - Do 5 apexis bonus objectives, get 1000 oil.
There is a ton of other stuff too - a lot of it could be useful for offspec sets, like the 695 items from ordered of the awakened. Open a bunch of baleful tokens to get well-rolled item, then buff it to 695. Instant offspec trinket/neck/etc. Also, if you haven't been following every buff/nerf on the PTR obsessively (because, you're a sane, healthy individual and not me), then double check that your old talent choices are still the right ones.
