Got sell your brand, bro. Instead of gear scoring it out. Say things like, "spriest with xyz experience and ##/##H bosses killed on main". People remember you, and are more likely to take you.
Pretty much this. I play feral on my alt, and i never said my ilvl. Just the dps i would pull, and i got in very fast, despite people being against melee overall.
Everyone has so much to say
They talk talk talk their lives away
