Gear benchmarks for beginning Kara raiding?
So, my guild's trying to get two Kara raids off the ground. We have a core of well-geared people - we're up to Curator after a few weeks of raiding - but we also have a few less-well-motivated people, and we're trying to encourage them to gear up.
We're looking at trying to set some benchmarks to give people an idea of when they have enough gear for their roles. I'm looking at two benchmarks - one set at "this is the kind of stats you should have, pre-epics - ie when you're going into Kara for the first time" and one for "this is the kind of gear you should have after a few weeks in Kara, ie including Heroics, and the first couple of Kara bosses".
Being a small guild, we don't have officers of every class, and I want to make sure noone has unreasonable benchmarks, so some input on the following would be requested:
* DPS casters - minimum +dmg? Minimum health pool for warlocks, and minimum mana for other casters?
* Hunters and melee DPS - minimum AP? minimum crit? minimum hit?
Help me out with filling in the minimums? I'd love to see two sets of benchmarks - one an absolute minimum (ie "below this gear level you shouldn't even sign up" kinda level) and one a good solid baseline (ie "until you hit this gear level you should still be running a lot of 5-mans or getting gear crafted").
