I didn't think it was that big of a difference...<br /><br />...dang<br /><br /><br />@Green Armadillo - You just blew my mind. Excellent point, especially if you only plan on doing 5 mans and 10 man raids. You really don't need to do crazy dps. <br /><br />But there is something about getting bigger numbers and improving your toon that keeps me coming back. Even though I know that next year there will be another expansion and all my gear will now be worthless.<br /><br />Kinda depressing really lol, but its the circle of life we live in this world<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />of warcraft.<br /><br />and yes I am talking about the haste+spell power trinket. It rocks my face. <3WTFspaghettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10304180361553774455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574352165119565010.post-61344573869789399012009-08-10T07:54:33.451-05:002009-08-10T07:54:33.451-05:00If you're talking about the haste+spell power ...If you're talking about the haste+spell power proc trinket, yeah, it's a pretty massive boost. It's a variation on the crit+spell power heroic badge trinket, which was far and away the best trinket in the pre-raid game (yes, even better than the hit rating one from HVH). <br /><br />On paper, my main should be precisely the target demographic of this patch. I'm not willing to make the schedule tradeoffs I would have to make to raid, and now Blizzard is willing to bring the loots I wasn't getting to me in the 5-mans I was running anyway for fun. <br /><br />Thing is, there isn't any REASON why I need the gear - I already gear all heroic 5-man content (and massively overgear solo content, to the point where I melee mobs on my mage to raise weapon skills). If I don't need it now, and won't need it later because it's going to be replaced with even better stuff within the next year (either in 3.3 or the expansion), why should I go out of my way to collect it? That's irony for you - by making the incentives too good, they've actually diminished their long term incentive value.Green Armadillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15564045048380177626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574352165119565010.post-5344395227680493922009-08-10T06:27:33.398-05:002009-08-10T06:27:33.398-05:00Last night, I ran H ToC and upgraded THREE of my p...Last night, I ran H ToC and upgraded THREE of my pieces of gear. TANK gear. I upgraded my Naxx25 helm (Helm of Vital Protection), my ULD25 shoulders (Shoulderplates of the Deconstructor), and my emblem ring (Signet of Impregnable fortress). It was pretty ridiculous, considering I have a ton of Ulduar gear. This may be a bit skewed for me, though, since Blizz failed in making their T8 gear. I spent any tokens I had on DPS gear since they made their entire T8 set a SBV set. But still. 3 upgrades from a heroic for someone who was successfully tanking Uld25 is pretty nuts.Breynoreply@blogger.com
