I was excited to run the new dungeon and explore the new gear updates in the classic dungeons.
I’m honestly not surprised that there’s no good caster gear… again you cater to melee/physical DPS while casters get shafted. You literally did this with ST… how can you make the same mistake twice lol.
Same way they left casters doing half the damage of melee in ST for the entire phase (not to mention how bad casters were in BFD in P1).
They - literally - couldn’t care less about casters, as long as melee are enjoying the game.
Look at all the warlock bugs still in the game and how badly mages are going. They’ve left rend/stormwind buff basically useless to casters as well, while it’s amazing for melee.
They should change it to Season of Melee. I honestly don’t know if I’m going to stick with SoD when MC comes out. Seems like they’re dropping the ball on every aspect of the game.
Yeah, there’s literally no point to run any 60 dungeons as a caster who’s been playing since P1. My gnomer gear is still better than the gear I am getting from running the new dungeon and the upgraded loot tables. Blizzard needs to hire a new lead for SoD, the decision making and incompetence has been present since P2, and it should of been addressed last phase.
For real they are still doing this world buff trash no wounder there is no caster gear in the new dungeon they keep making the same mistakes over and over again blizzard will never learn.
New dungeon has a spell damage shield (huge, considering the only other spell damage shield comes from the summoned quest boss in UBRS)
Also has spell damage rings (almost certainly best in slot)
The melee trinkets are worse than Hand of Justice + Blackhand’s Breadth. The melee weapons are worse than Alterac Valley reputation weapons + the axe that comes from 50 undermine reals.
If anything, casters get actual best in slot items from the new dungeon, while melee just get alternate choices that are similar to (but not better than) existing gear.
Again, the issue is not that there ISN’T any gear, it’s my level 40 GNOMER pieces are equivalent besides 1 or 2 SP, and 2-3 INT. Where melee upgrades are actually upgrades.
