Yes it is and there is nothing wrong with having that motivation and the cool feeling of getting that piece of gear and killing that boss but this guy is making it sound like there is no better gear in the raid when they are flat wrong about that and they are making it sound like there IS no other reason than to raid other than to get gear which is ALSO wrong.

This is the sort of gambling you guys need to stop providing metrics for. They donât care of your commitments or reason for playing as long as you are playing.
You are pulling that slot machine lever again and again and again and ruining it for everyone.

Who cares? For either DPS warrior spec, and for many DPS specs across the board, the benthic crit damage boots at 425 are significantly better than anything the mythic raid has to offer, even without a socket. Not that that matters, since your odds are far more favorable farming a socketed benthic item than praying for a sub-single-digit chance of a +10 warforged mythic item with a socket.
You can argue either direction whether or not itâs acceptable or desirable for an easily obtained world item to be the single best item in the game for a given slot, but the fact that it is the best item for that slot is not a matter of opinion.

Ok so you got one less slot to worry about⌠whatâs wrong with that? (thereâs like 15 slots to fill)

Why does it matter if 1 or 2 of your bis pieces come from world content? The other 20 will come from mythic raiding and m10+. This is a non issue.

Might as well delete the boots from eternal palace then. They have no reason to exist except as traps for the uninformed.

Itâs actually 4 slots. For every dps class regardless of itemization gloves and wrists are a massive upgrade because they have insane damage procs on them.
Belt is the only slot that is considered to be not mandatory. Things like deals extra damage to aberrations so you can over come one or two bosses is great, but having this gear be BiS for every single fight and having 4 or more pieces is what is wrong.
Or alternatives to other specs that donât value crit.
Why? Almost no one does mythic raiding. Ergo, most people do not care if the gear is close to what they would potentially get from content theyâll never do.

Do you have some examples, or did you just look at a few bonuses and assume they would be stronger than 445+ gear?

It could be worseâŚwe could have pallies running around in cloth again for bis.

I can link you sims from raid bots, but do you actually care enough about sims?
Itâs a single piece of Benthic gear. Itâs really not a huge ordeal. That leaves a lot of gear to get from raid.

An actual, attainable, non RNG reliant, BiS peice. I think Iâm ok with that.
Benthic Gear doesnât devalue mythic gear anymore than the weekly M+ chest or Titanforging does. Iâm actually happy to see gear being valuable based on secondary bonuses and not just because the item level is absurdly high.
When I clear heroic/mythic I want an item I receive to be worth the effort I put in to get it without thinking in the back of my mind that I need to farm week after week waiting for the same item to upgrade just to have something that is actually best in slot not just a shiny placeholder.
