What's the savage/ultimate raiding scene like? I wanted to get into savage back HW, started as gladiator, got to 60 as PLD, got geared through tomestones, normal raids, ex trials, only to be told "nobody takes PLD to savage, doesn't do enough damage, roll WAR or DRK," so I grind WAR to 60, then get told "lulz n00b gtfo go get str accs & pentameldz" and I never really cared to bother
But I spent probably ~40 weeks a year for about 4.5 years straight mythic raiding in WoW after that, doing way more and way worse to be able to raid, so I think I can handle something nowhere near as much of a time investment for preparing, and from what I've seen on logs, most jobs within their role seem to be pretty well balanced, unlike WoW where you can be OP one patch, dogshit the next
When you have so little variation in secondary stats because of so few pieces of gear around the same ilvl per slot, no choices to make for jobs like you do for talents, covenants, soulbinds, etc in WoW, and don't try to reinvent the wheel entirely every single expansion, with tacking more shit onto the wheel every major patch, it's a lot fucking easier to balance, I'd imagine.
It's fucking awful trying to run the same dungeon or two, over and over, wasting time, consumables, and gold because you need to get a weapon from a 10+, or killing a boss 12 weeks in a row and never seeing a piece of gear you need of it drop, because you need haste the most, mastery second, and crit and versatility are dogshit for you, and that's the only haste/mastery helm at that ilvl in the game currently
Replying to kaze #not_kaze But the main thing I’m trying to say though is that it’s more approachable than ever
Yeah, even in HW it was a lot more approachable than the 4.5 years I spent mythic raiding in WoW, I was just discouraged because everyone I asked said PLD was the best tank to play at endgame, then upon reaching the point I could do savage, everyone is like "no, it doesn't do enough damage," then after grinding 45 levels of WAR, I was told I needed to get a new necklace, bracelet, and rings, so I just was discouraged.
