5.2 - March 6


A reminder that 5.2 is coming -- ostensibly as soon as March 6th -- at which point the raiding focus will change just like it did once Firelands was released. You can begin preparing now by stockpiling VP (they are no longer resetting VP) and wrapping up whatever might distract you in the initial weeks. There will be a new faction (similar to how there was in Firelands) however you earn rep with them in the raid instance rather than through dailies - allegedly. You will need i480 to enter the 5.2 LFR and 5.2 LFR drops 502 gear. Plan accordingly. Gear upgrading through VP is still going away upon arrival of 5.2 so upgrade any gear you are intending to upgrade before 5.2, VP permitting.

Tier 14 will become old tier, however Blizz is not intending for it to be bypassed as in Cata and Wrath -  as you gear up, you will still need 460 to get into MSV LFR, and 470 for HoF and ToES LFRs before you can get into 480 TotTK LFR. To make that a shorter trip for your alts/new toons, pay attention for announced gearing runs in Tier 14 once T15 is out.
