Why would there be a bonus 278 item for content that directly drops 265?
Because âREEE I want my conduitsâ.
They canât be content to have a timed exclusivity deal on tier. Nah, nahâŠ
One form of content cant be the single best source of every power reward for every situation anymore.
Which is fine. I actually agree with that statement.
This has been the status quo for a while. Some items from M+ are good, some items from raid are good. Yeah, yâknow, that sucks not to have a 252 Defense Matrix, but it is what it is, I got a Jotun last patch, I got an Aegis last patch, yada yada.
The problem is when these gaps grow too large, like the exclusivity deal for tier in raid in 9.2, or like all of the tank trinkets in Nathria (other than Cheat Death I suppose) being big poo-poo and needing to grind for a Blood-Splattered Scale as a tank in 9.0 even if you donât like M+.
I just find it hilarious when the scales are tipped towards raiding in this patch, and yet raiders are still whining. itâs like a 90/10 split in terms of rewards but raiders want that last 10% too. Itâs like they donât know how to actually be happy and enjoy the game and have to keep crying and crying.
There is no reason why that item shouldnât be BoA now. Itâs an alt item disguised as a reward to make farming preferred content easier.
However if it were to be character specific (as it is now) then the requirements would make more sense to be lower. Obviously not as a reward from ksm/aotc alone but be bought with currency gained from heroic jailer kills/+15s or higher/rivalish-duelist pvp. Itâs like they took the worse choices of both.
Tl;dr make BoA usage with same requirements, or lower requirements but keep character-specific.
Heâs not wrong.
Iâm 6/10M and 3k score and still have not killed heroic jailer.
(Also to be fair any guild that is progressing reasonably well towards a Mythic Jailer kill will just carry everyone to 3k score easily and this is a non-issue)
Cuz +20s arenât in line with mythic raid.
Mythic Jailer is probably more in line with doing all +25s in time. +20s is closer to heroic Jailer.

So what youâre saying is, M+ should award tier, and I should able to upgrade just about every single slot of my gear to 285 ilvl if I do M25s?
Heck, Iâll trade away 278 Conduits from KSH for tier pieces coming from M+ and 285 Valor Upgrades. Iâll take that deal every time. Letâs do it. Come on.
To this I do agree, mainly because keys are much smaller groups and you have less chanceâs of someone causing a cascade.
I always found it odd that they tied the raid conduit upgrade variant to CE, over the key variant that people had pretty much week 2 of the new tier. Would of made more sense to tie it to AotC, heck might of incentivised guilds to kill the jailer, over what we have right now of barely anyone has killed him due to tier. He simply should of been a tier boss, yet he wasnât, along with his loot is simply really bad for a lot of players. In any case this tier has been weird to say the least, everything seems to be completely out of whack in the balancing department. Given glad and CE are much harder to obtain over 3k M+, along with it was odd they didnât also carry over the random conduit upgrade items either.
In any case I do agree that M+ is the go to if you wanna max out your conduits, yet it comes off as being more of they just did a bad job balancing the content. Which has led to huge disparities when it comes to player power, and ability to engage with the upgrade systems.
What I find odd is not putting the random upgrader like they did in previous patches. Why is it okay to get maxed conduit in torghast, albeit slower and once a week but still, completely soloable, but the patch thatâs gonna last the whole year, we need to do the higher group content?
Honestly because raiders complained it wasnât fair that end of dungeon could drop mythic raid-par gear. IMO timed 20s should drop 278.
Wasnât it warranted? Mythic+ doesnât have a lockoutâŠ
So I guess Keystone Hero is easier is easier since players had the achievement well before anyone got CE this Tier? Thanks for clarifying.
Dude you have such an insane chip on your shoulder about all this stuff. Itâs so cringe. Play the game however you like and stop worrying about what the perception of your in game, ephemeral achievements is to other random gamers.
Then cap chest gear drops at 3/wk max or whatever they estimate raiders get each week w/PL raids. Iâd be happier with that solution.
When did that ever happen?
Then some dungeons become that much more difficult to get people to run them, but DoS and Mists gets all the people.
itâs actually really hard to get.
Donât think he meant joke as in easy.
You donât start your post with tears dripping down your face and then try to pivot and act aloof. THAT is cringe. Lol. Christ, you forum badly. Pick a lane and stick to it - either youâre stoic or youâre weeping about how oppressed you are. Playing it both ways looks hilariously sad.
he meant 'joke" as in âseriousâ ? he must work for Human Resources. Thatâs the only place where âweâll call you backâ means âwe will not call you backâ.
