Hello, I'm currenctly sitting on a level 165 NL. I'm okay I guess, simply trying to up my geer my the usual voting and doing like daily bosses like pap, zak and those I manage good. APQ sometimes but well it all ocmes down to time. Can't do it all. Unfortunately well I'm in Tenacity and I love the guild and all but I'm from Swden so a european and while they may do HT runs at their nights it's usually meaans its in the middle of the night for me... so I'd love to be able to join those random smega "R>HT Runs" but always get turned down because I have to low range and I got nothing against that really, they want a strong party to get it through and I get it, that's why i'm working to try to achieve that goal I guess you could say. What I am wondering is like what is the acceptable or ideal range for a NL to join these random HT runs? I'd like to know what I am aiming towards so I just dont keep on running without having some sord of of goal. Appreciate if someone has some insight in this who runs HT runs often. Thanks in advance and If you got the time feel free to dig deep in to the question <3
It's highly subjective. I don't play NL, but I would consider around 4.5-5k "good enough". Even with less, NLs are stronger than all other similarly geared class on apple + SE, except Corsair - which have to work really hard for it at Horntail. In my opinion, if you were rejected because "your range was too low", those people weren't worth running with. Let the toxic/try hard "pros" smega for another 30 mins if they want to clear a few minutes faster. Playing more than you're comfortable with just to appease them is not worth it if you just play for enjoyment - the game isn't your job. My advice - don't think about it too much and recruit yourself, be the change you wanna see. Yeah, it might take longer, but you can organize runs faster and will meet nicer people of your "power level" - won't feel overshadowed. I know you said you love the guild, but consider switching to one local to your timezone (preferably a chill one...). Maybe the guild alliance has people in your timezone as well?
Agree with @Yaro. There's a lot of "lower" range players who want to run ht's but are disencouraged by the high standard set by "pros". As Yaro mentioned; Be the change you want to see. Pretty sure you would have an easy time finding normal players who want to run HT with you. My advise would also be to start making your own runs, learn by doing! Best of luck mate!
You could always make a sed/crash mule to offer more utility in ht to offset your range. It may help too
