Ancestral gear are the new mythics

After playing a few days of PTR I hope that they do something with the drop rate of Ancestral items in season 6. I understand that they are elongating the play experience by giving players a way to feel more accomplished once they are in the end game areas but when the drop rate is so low that you feel better about an Ancestral drop than a Mythic is bad. This would not be such a disparity if they would allow maybe 8 masterwork levels or let legendries have 2 tempering I think it wouldn’t feel so bad.

Let me offer another perspective. While I agree the 1 temper on anything but ancestral feels weird, most of your power is going to come from your glyphs moving forward. That measly +30% extra damage on a temper won’t mean much compared to 5 glyphs at 45+.

So instead you can focus on more utility based affixes from tempering. Such as double casts, bigger radius, etc. Which you can only have 1 of anyway.

Blizzard is basically saying don’t bother wasting mats on crappy gear, focus on powering your character through other means and wait for the drops, then invest. That’s how I see it anyway.

Not that I necessarily agree with this philosophy, just adding a different perspective is all.
