Discussion: Healers loot spec sniping DPS trinkets

What you are allowed to need and greed roll on is based on your specs loot table. Maybe you should learn to put 1 and 1 together to deduce 2?

if a healer can use it, it’s a healer trinket. the problem is you not understanding the loot table.

They’re also BIS for healer dps

The function hasn’t changed but the means of distribution has.

PL has a hidden roll where you are straight just given a piece from your specs loot table.

GL you are rolling Need, based on your specs table, of all loot that dropped.

That’s enough of a difference for people to be more upset. Not going to get into a circular argument over a hidden roll vs. Open roll, but that’s how I see the current issue.

It definitely stung going for Rashoks Molten Heart last tier only to lose it week after week to DPS in Pugs. They are within their right to roll, it doesn’t make it any better to lose that roll to a DPS. With PL it mattered less to me because I’m not getting openly rolled against, again you can say it’s the same difference but I disagree.

That’s fair, but at least you’re admitting that it’s not an issue of the system being functionally worse, it’s one of you being upset that someone clicked need after the boss rather than joining knowing they were always going to be needing automatically.

Yea it’s just the act of openly rolling that is most of the issue around OPs thread IMO.

Not something you really can solve as it’s not some big issue anyway, it’s just the way loot distribution has evolved over time. Even if I like PL better that isn’t going to magically solve all issues related to this thread.

What a disgusting mindset. Fly off.

‘This guy needs on gear he’ll actually use, HoW dIsGuStInG!’

Nah dawg, gonna do me. My condolences.

I actually can see the difference here which is why I do think LFR should still have PL. It’s impossible to derive intent with a person receiving an item with PL. Sure there is an implicit intent of rolling need with every item and every boss, but that isn’t really correct. I can join a raid looking for item A off boss X without any worry about a chance at getting item B off boss Y. Whereas with GL, there’s no question about my intent to roll when I press need when item B drops off boss Y.

If you could roll need on item B in GL, you’d be able to get it with PL, with no option to even pass on it.

Augury is a lot more than a 1k DPS increase to dps classes. The fact some healers are arguing over a 1k dps increase is ludicrous imo.

Honestly most yall here look hard stuck 2800ish rn and are complaining that your dps is needed to push higher keys when it isnt. Maybe if yall were the 3600 aug pushing 28s needed a tank trinket to do those, sure, but profile stalking yall has shown most to be key level 20-22 andys and are complaining about min/max in the most trivialized season ever.

You can roll Need on Healers trinkets - you just set your loot spec to Healers.

A lot of players pug raids trying to get specific loot drops - they may be a DPS main that’s filling a healer role today, but they’re after a BiS DPS trinket.

A lot of Healers also do Mythic+ and want Damage Trinkets.

In a pug, you roll Need for whatever you want. End of story.

I dont know if I saw anyone say that.

1k more dps than any of their other trinket options, it’s about 9k dps in total on single target (And does AoE which root does not). Suncaller is at worst about 11k but has significantly more value due to its burst options.

It is implied because so many of you are insistent that you need to deal damage to push higher keys… when yall aint pushing those higher keys. I’m not even pushing higher keys.

I’ll just clarify on this I’ve never said these things are necessary for the players that are likely looking for them, just that they are useful and can reasonably considered desirable items for their main spec, as well as provided some examples of similar useful items from previous tiers and their estimated current values.

I am not implying any of that.

My entire argument is this :

Does it make me perform better in a group? Yes / No

Will I equip it for my main spec? Yes / No

If those answers are “yes”, then I will target it. It has nothing to do with saying I am required to deal damage to push higher keys. But its based on me seeing that its better for me, regardless of what key level I get to.

“You arent pushing keys high enough to need this loot” is just a mindset I wont get into. Because of how overly vague that statement is, and how it can be applied to everyone else about everything.

glad someone called this out,

so many of them think “high” keys is 20’s…and I’m over here like y’all think healers are DPSi’ng in 26+'s? y’all are barely doing 20’s

Why would I stop dpsing when I go to a 26? (In fact, more dps will probably be required.)

Considering taking more dps talents because timed Throne of the Tides on a 23 with 7 seconds to spare.

I’m enjoying my Belor’elos and Nymues, THANKS!
