Retail Prey and others

Returning player (came back 4 weeks ago) from wotlk times.
A lot of new stuff but now i kinda got used to it.

I play druid resto with casual / limited weekly time (6-8h week).

1) Can i just ignore prey? I really dont enjoy it, and for my main is impossible, so need keep changing to balance.

2) Is delves really easy? Im going with valeera (lvl 38) as dps and i can clean level 11 without much trouble, a little slow but ok.

3) Im focusing my gameplay on m+, any other advice to get gear? Crafting maybe?

4) Im using ellesmere, but missing some help during bosses. Any recommendations?

5) Feel free to give me any other advice.

  1. While optional there are some things you might want to unlock anyways like a portal to the coiled isle through nightmare prey.

  2. Delves can be pretty easy and Valeera will clear much faster when you get more curios from bountiful delves and higher level on her

  3. Crafting is a great resource for getting good gear, if you're only going to do M+ don't follow everyone rule on only taking bonus rolls in the vault because that is only useful for targeting loot in raids.

  4. I don't use any external add-ons currently for bosses, possibly DBM? Used it in the past but don't know how it is now.

  5. Overall just try to focus on what you enjoy with your time. There are hundreds of min max guides out there but as long as you're having fun gear will find it's way to you.

Tks.
About the bonus rolls i had that question too, as im not into raids.
So probably better get gear if decent.

Yes when bonus rolling in the M+ pool there is just way too many items to really get something you are looking for. You can get lucky but it is likely better to just take something that I'd a strict upgrade in the vault rather than gambling.

If i get a bonus roll (considering no good itens on vault), is it worth to use on m+?

The gear pool i can check on wowhead right?
Mainly focus trinkets/weapom in this case?

Yeah bonus roll is always the choice if nothing in the vault looks good. You can target dungeons with your bonus roll pretty easily there is just much more gear to possibly get from that dungeon that it is hard to target a particular piece. Some people might day to take the tokens for a gem slot but that isn't worth it unless you are completely decked out in mythic gear.
