luckily I’ve recruited a roster filled with raiders that have brains and want to get in and out quickly with a minimum of deaths, delays, or any downtime at all
anybody who thinks a personal parse is more important than overall clear speed is a sub-90 IQ worm-addled moron
they were fine with the previous chicken finagling
but now that its back to “wait for the random proc” they want it gone because it makes logs for those classes far to random, comparing two different parses where someone could have had 0-25% haste at random
A player with both glaives and 100% BiS might be able to beat those early 5-stack chicken parses. Reduced kill times from the entire raid being better geared is going to help. We’ll see.
But I think you underestimate how powerful 27.6% haste is. The battle chicken, when it could be reliably stacked to 5, was the most powerful item in the game by far. And it would have been the most powerful item in all of Wrath, too, had they not fixed it, because it fully scaled. It was basically a pocket full of world buffs.
