Caster gear?

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.

Felt the same way when i looked at the loot. I prolly wont even bother to run the dungeon.

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.

Yea ill wait and see how the pve balance is in MC, If warrior tanks are doubling caster damage again im def done with SOD.

Who even needs the gear you have all the world buffs.

Always the ones that don’t have a max lvl char

I mean, I would like to enjoy doing dungeons and actually get some rewards from it… to pair worldbuffs make melee super strong; casters not so much.

Browse the dungeon tokens for the epic caster weapon… oh, nevermind, there isn’t one.

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.

I don’t know what the devs are doing. And now they’re just completely silent.

Yeah, let me equip a shield. I’ll get on that.

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.

funny. i did the new dungeon for the first time the other day and NOTHING BUT CASTER GEAR DROPPED!

to say there is no good caster gear is silly.

Ah yes, cannot wait to equip my shield and wand!

honestly i think the issue is melee NEED good gear to be good, whereas casters are already pretty OP with all their new spells lol :expressionless:

As explained in my post, none of the melee items are upgrades over existing gear from classic.

The caster items are actual upgrades over existing gear.

Lol, try to read the thread and not the title, it helps.

it was good caster gear that dropped in the new dungeon i guess i could add.

they updated quite a bit of the caster gear in other runs too.

there is plenty of good caster gear that is upgrades to current and original gear.
