Or even the guilds that are "semi" competitive aka they think they are amazing but are just mediocre would do that, where it would bench you if you had less gear because in theory the dps gap from entry level raiding is huge. | ||

Also often players are on the same level and raid lead just decides by looking at equip. And with random groups equip is the only factor that matters. | ||

As for pugs, there is always going to be an RNG for gear. I killed Manny 7 times before getting an offhand, whereas someone killed him once and got it. Now his gear is slightly better than mine. How is that fair? Should every raid boss just drop a fraction of a token, and after 3 kills you get an item instead of RNG drops? That sounds pretty boring. Artifact drops, while rare, you are likely to get one for your spec, maybe you get a bad one? But how does playing an alt help that situation? If you are top teir raider, then it matters... but then you also are spending a lot of time so you probably are going to get some good ones. And every progression guild I've ever been apart of, bad players are always bad and they are the ones benched. If they beat someone in dps by 1% (due to very slightly better gear), they were still benched because they die more often than the better player. And even in cases where two people are compared, it always came down to "who do i remember dying in fire more often?" Not "who has the better ilevel". | ||

Thank you blizzard. Who needs practice anyway. There's executable dummies both in org and argent tournament. Join skirmish and leave/die to reset your cd on s2m. Keep practicing until you can do same time every time even with your eyes closed. You're welcome. | ||

And even in cases where two people are compared, it always came down to "who do i remember dying in fire more often?" Not "who has the better ilevel". In regular guilds and stuff sure, but in top progression guilds you weed those bad players out and then you take the best you have to beat the encounter. Raid stacking for specific bosses is not new and when you only have 1 slot for a specific class, you will take whoever can perform the best. If you perform the best because you got a legendary or titanforged item and your other raid member didn't, that's kinda sucks. Note I don't really have an idea that would fix this reasonably, because it will happen regardless over the long term (as with your example of regular loot drops and such where you might not see an item multiple times but someone sees it on the first kill). And this is very specific to progress kills only as once you start to out gear/get better a boss you have more flexibility in who you bring and this is a moot point. | ||

Getting 60 item levels more than the dungeon normally drops or mythic raid gear from a normal quest is just ridiculous. If they so desperately want lower difficulty content to give high end rewards (which I dont agree with either) they could have at least made a system where some currency drops you can then upgrade your stuff with, so that it is consistent and not RNG. You don't just have to flip a coin and get heads, you have to flip it and get heads a huge number of times in a row to get the max ilevel gear (with it upgrading step by step between base level and max). As far as i understand it it's expected that you'll have half of your gear that's like 25-60% titanforged before any of the really rare stuff (80-100% titanforged) realistically drops. For example i saw about 100 loot chances of that saberon dude in iron docks since they patched this similar stacking-warforged system into WOD; the warforged range was like 690-725 and i never saw a single person get the top few levels on the BIS trinket. We were practically swimming in 700-715 injectors with no 720's or 725's anywhere so if the system is similar then you're probably never comparing someone with a fully titanforged thing vs someone with a baseline one. I would say that it would matter the most for weapons, but weapons are gone and i don't know that the weapon slot gem things are titanforgeable to this extent (?) - trinkets will still matter, maybe a lot. Most other slots won't make or break your raid choice. | ||

With a 1k weekly valor cap it could work like this: 1k valor for +5 ilvls 500 to add socket 500 to add or reroll tertiary | ||

There are some concerns w/ tertiaries because they're a bit too powerful to enable free stacking. As one example in late WOD you could cap your avoidance with 2 bits of gear and it'd make you take 1.25x less damage from all AOE sources, this was definately something that you could feel in hard content. If you could fit speed on all of your gear then all the Melee's out there would be flying as well | ||

If things do get ridiculous towards the end of Legion, I'd be fine with that. Its one way of making farm content fun if you can underheal and just burn down a boss fast enough. | ||

Oh not 1 I've sold at least 50 they're pretty easy to farm with the PGF addon Most people are just farming them wrong and joining those big 40-man raids camping all the doomsayers which is extremely inefficient | ||
