I am pretty casual now and play other games so I typically will play the patch..clear the raid and do some of the new content and then wait till the next patch drops. My main is sitting at about 220 ilvl and only thing for me to do is normal or higher SoD. Once I clear that once or twice, I’ll take another break. Was only 180 when 9.1 came out. Luckily for casuals like me, they have a decent catch up mechanic so you can skip the shitty grind.
