I came back after a long while, and since I've never been interested in Raids at all (Not even LFR) I had Dungeon loot at 620+ ilvl.
Then I completed the questline to get to Tanaan and it feels like everything is kicking my face in. I avoid AOE's I try to interrupt, but I find myself running out of potions and having to eat every five minutes. Some of the quests to take down elites or bosses I just simply can't do despite the fact they don't mention anything about need 3 or 5 man parties. I then I check wowhead and apparently its a cakewalk.
Does outdoor endgame just assume everyone is running Raids or LFR? I just really don't understand. I was actually having a good time until I found a zone needed a gear check.
