You can do more than just get your shiny gear and that is what will be discussed here. Gemming and enchanting it to the best of your ability will make the gear even better and up your stats even more. Then you can use self buffs such as food and elixirs or a flask prior to an encounter to further maximise your stats. If you are particular about your stats and want an ever further boost, particularly useful in a progression oriented guilds, you could choose professions which would benefit you most stats wise. Finally I will touch upon glyph swapping and how that can benefit you for certain encounters.

Currently I am not in a raiding guild, preferring to raid current content with friends and PUGs due to not being able to commit to full time raiding. Because of this, some of what I will write will only be based on what I’ve read from various sources and researched.

Item level has become increasingly important to some people when they decide on what’s an upgrade or not for their current gear. People will roll on drops in instances merely because of a number being higher that has nothing to do with how the stats on said item compares with what the person is currently wearing.
