On one side is nice to have catch-up mechanics. On other side what Blizz offer is so inefficient its not worth for almost anyone.Given RNG nature of this its likely more efficient to farm gold and buy armor-stacked boost run.If you have someone to play with 2-3 M0 armor-stacked runs should likely get you 236 for most slots. If you don't have people to play with you likely won't be able to farm enough currency anyway.--------Its like they try hardest to burn out people willpower so they quit playing
Random piece and only ilvl 236? Hard pass.
Who comes up with these dumb ideas?Random piece? Really? After making the 226 tokens for each slot in Zereth Mortis now you go back to random with a 500 valor cost?This game would be in a better state if it was being developed by EA.
ah the m+ crowd, constantly spoiled and it's never enoughit's a nice thing for fresh alts who might've otherwise only had 226 anima gear, it's not a shortcut to obtain your main's ilvl nor should it be. The ilvl range is pretty much the same as the unrestricted crafted shadowlands gear, so you can have a similar power level without spending gold, if you're not rich like me.i really dont understand why people expect to just have instantly geared characters without ever playing them; the game should not be built to optimize your hot swapping to the FOTM spec every month. Catch up should land you at the start of the ilvl range for the patch, which this does for S3, and unlike anima gear you can make it tier. It will feel a bit small for S4, but that's a later problem.That said, I do share the criticism of the truly random slot box - I thought we learned this lesson already several times, they're just going to have to go add "pick the slot" boxes later, like they have every other time they do it this way.
Once again Blizzards answer to "and what if I don't want to do Mythic+?" is "Play another game, we hate you"
This is totally unnecesary a ridiculous by the time yo uget 500 valor you wil lalready have some s3 items from mythics.... if yo uwant to alts have set pieces just make CYPEHR EQUIPMENT elegible to make tier sets they can even be 252, far better than a poor 236...

A huge point everyone is missing is that a lot if not most of the specs don't even feel good until they get double lego/4 piece, Survival being an obvious culprit. Simply having a chance to get all of that done with a couple days in ZM is huge all things considered. In the grand scheme of things all this gear will easily be replaced if you have a group you run with because if we are being honest 15s are very easy with a premade. So we really are getting a huge jump in starting off with fresh alts to do keys with so long as we have a few thousand valor points just lying around doing nothing. Easy win other than the obvious "Y no at beginning of xpac!"
specific 226 Gear = 500 Animaspecific 229 Gear = 100-600 Gold via Auction Houserandom 236 Gear = 500 Valorwtf
Checked vendor next to FP and Conquest vendor and don't see mythic items to purchase7/7/2022I did find last week after taking a break. I had 4000 VP on my shaman, sent around 6 pieces to my DK.TrinketHeadHeadHeadHeadGlovesI should of just upgraded off set on my resto, since i had better pieces on my dk. Maybe, if you have a lot and already maxed and don't want 226 gear. This would be a medicore alternative to jump in to 236 1/12 mythic rank. Hopefully no duplicates.Best oif Luck
Totally useless, as usual with Blizzard with this kind of catch up mechanics.Really wonder who is designing that kind of feature...
