Why don't you go back to putting fighter and healer armor back into crates? Fighter crate drops, and the plate tanks and leather-wearing brawlers can bid against each other on the crate and then pick out the gear that applies to their class. Healer crate drops, and the plate, chain, leather healers bid against each other on the crate and select what their class uses. You do not have different sets of gear anymore for scouts and mages, because we're all being lumped together regarding the stats on the gear. If the gear needs to be customized for your class, then you reforge and adorn it to what is better for your class. It's annoying to keep having bad luck on armor drops, even if the odds of brawler and druid loot has been reduced, they still have a chance to drop. Our brawler and 2 druids have their gear, yet other classes are waiting week after week to get armor slots upgraded. Put the fighter and healer armor sets in a crate, and let the fighters and healers bid on their gear like what the scouts and mages have to do.
Totally agree, it would help raid forces actually gear out some as well as do something to nerf fighter and priest dkp. This was done really well in Dov apart from fighter patterns being weighted at the same drop chance as the others. But sadly this has come up a number of times without even a dev response. Hopefully they'll take it into account for the next zone! Also, Druid 4 well bps, druid 4 well bps everywhere....
Sooo more specifically you are annoyed at Leather gear as for some reason Brawler and Druid items seem to have abnormal drop rates? Would you rather it be like SF where even Plate-Tanks had two sets of armor? We want survival we needed Hulking Plate we wanted DPS then we needed Savage Plate.
The reverse is true for my raid force.. the shaman and clerics are all geared up, but the druids are all still lacking a large number of armor pieces. I agree that the 'crated' armor makes sense for tanks and healers, but they have, for whatever reason,decided not to go that route.
Exactly on the part regarding fighter and priest DKP. Brawlers have 1-2 other brawler mains to bid agains, same goes for the plate, chain, leather healers.
Annoyed that if they did it right, it would be more balanced for everyone. Fighter crate, priest crate, mage crate, scout crate. And no, we do not need 2 sets of gear for tanking and DPS for fighters...isn't that what reckless stance is for now?
Reckless is a bit borked, it rewards some classes far more than others based off base damage. This puts Guardians on the bottom and Brawler's/SK's on the top to benefit. The issue could still arise if say the Fighter Crate kept dropping though :/
