Right, well, I've been playing TTK for some time (a bit late, but I just got the cash to pick it up, and remembered it) and I'm at 309 light with my best gear put on. From every online post I've seen, they say "oh, just get the highest light possible and you keep advancing!" I wish. I've been at 309 light for days. Most of my drops are FAR under my light, even 20-30 below. Even the higher ones are about 8 light under me. So I did the raid, and got a bunch of 311-ish gear. Cool! Advancing! Well I read somewhere that that was the highest normal mode raid gear goes anyway. Great. Well, then I see that hard mode can go up to 325-330, and I assumed this was the next step to becoming a great guardian. Well, turns out, it is. But I can't do it. Why? The requirement is 310 light, I hear you say! Yeah, turns out nobody wants to do a hard mode raid with a 310 light, since there are tons of 335's on LFG sites. So yeah, stuck. And I think I'll be stuck forever, really, without a generous guardian letting a slightly lower light player in. I can't even do the night falls or CoE since those are 320 and even if it was 310... Well, there are higher light players there. Would someone offer me some tips on how I can continue to rank up? It really seems like a dead end no matter where I go. Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, it seemed right. Edit: Thanks for everyone who has responded. Many of your inputs have helped me immensely. All I could find on google was ultimately useless "guide to 335 light" websites, but even in the one day after posting this my light has gone from 308 to 312.
