Upgrading followers to max might be a bad idea.

Theories are fluctuating that the foundry missions will require followers @ 655 or 660, and since we (most likely) aren't getting a patch to increase the follower ilvl cap, the former seems the most likely scenario.

That means, if you have multiple followers @ 655 when foundry releases, you'll instantly get your mission for normal ilvl 665 loot.

But if you waited a bit, killed the 15 raid bosses necessary on heroic(pugging ftw), you'd theoretically unlock mythic missions instead of normal once you then upgrade followers to 655.

If you've already done it and the scenario I just painted comes true, well, sucks to be you :/

This only applies if you're a casual raider not raiding mythic. When BRF comes out you'll most likely skip normal and just do Heroic.
