That’s why I think it should have stayed low %. Then not everyone feels like they “have” to have it.

Nah it just shouldn’t have existed or just been purple. Since I always main my DK - I look forward to another ~13 years before I have to worry about this crap again.

So what if it was purple?
Then no one cares if “everyone has it” - it’s power level is decreased and thus not as “required”, it’s obtainable in the vault - it’s obtainable at any difficulty with different item levels.

Well if they are then maybe a Blue could come in and give us the real numbers, until someone does then I got no reason to not trust WoWhead and once again learn to not get exited for anything Blizzard is trying to hype people for because ultimately it will be half baked.

no way. people would immediately accuse them of lying. they can’t win.

i don’t even seriously play a character that can loot the legendary! how bad do you think i feel??? D:
Blizzard is a sith that doesnt deal with absolutes. Instead of giving each ember a definitive % increase, they leave it up to the imagination.
Lessers should have 1% increased chance, Greaters should have 2% increased chance and once the total of the two get to 100%, you just get the legendary on your next kill if it didnt drop beforehand. Just make the lessers be guaranteed while the greaters be a chance proc.
I couldint agree with you more to fix all of this in terms of drop chance a blue needs to post what the axe drop chance is per difficulty and exactly what % the embers do i dont know why they cant just give us numbers…its just not fair to us for such a best in slot item…where “skill” doesint matter if you get it or not someone who did lfr once get it when a world first raider still doesint is wrong.

According to the write ups wow head had on this it may be another few weeks before the drop rate is at 100% for heroic assuming you did every week without missing one.
more people would be farming mythic fyrakk to get the mount rather than the gear
how does knowing the drop rate is precisely 1.23746% make this any better or more “fair” for you?
Look, is nice that you guys understand but now I’m canceling my sub.
I’m feeling stress out just by look at group finder rn, that’s how much this BS frustrated me.
And I’ll not even try to kill fryak after those “buffs” cause I’m just too… You know?
Till next expansion maybe.
Next time I’ll wait until the second raid tier of it to see if is safe for me to buy it 
.
And all this gold will stay here in my inactive account for now… What a shame

So you’re saying people don’t care about getting that sweet power reward from mythic Fryakk?
Because than if we know true numbers on the drop chance between normal/heroic/mythic it would help motivate pushing to do harder content if norm vs heroic is close in drop chance and embers give x amount of %increase than might not be worth time investment to do heroic/mythic and normal would be okay with a sure path when to expect it vs heroics sure patch etc

this BLP are for just keeping players to play and think that each time they kill fyrak they would think " ohh im getting the lego pretty soon after 5th kill" guess what? your alt that you barely play gets it first and your main suffered the most also if you ever get it though you’ll be either forced to buy token sell it for gold to buy the mats or grind gold on your own and the quest is like days to finish, you know what sucks when your class is tuned with this lego so if you still dont have it especially warriors yo dps is garbage

ok well, Cutting Edge is the goal for an overwhelmingly large majority of “Cutting Edge” raiders.
once they kill fyrakk, they have met their goals already.
sure, there are some who will want the gear to push for mythic plus title and would like the gear.
but i would say the goal of most cutting edge raiders would be to get the mount for everyone in their raid rather than a piece of gear that is irrelevant in a month.
would the gear be nice for the players doing reclears to get the mount? sure but its not like on their list of priorities, it would only help clear the raid faster for most.
So…by this time according to my calculations based on the datamined drop rate charts, the odds of me not having looted the item by this week are <10%…the season is over in what, 6 weeks? Why did you design a weapon that literally symbolized the season, was the big “omg yay,” and brought damage to those balanced around having the weapon with the intention of a large percentage of players not getting to use it until the bitter end. I can’t even begin to describe my levels of resentment right now towards this game. I had to reroll to push M+ because I don’t push with players who are parsing 100 for key level so when we do 27s it matters…I haven’t logged in this week after clearing Heroic before the hotfix and being shafted. No desire to log in. Honestly, it would be really nice if you did something better to incentivize the increasingly small group of players who are just losing out on this season. It’s just a day late, dollar short for me that two weeks from now it’ll be a 100% drop rate in Heroic.

so is the BLP effect improved on all difficulties including LFR or just heroic and upwards? is confusing phrasing since Kaivax says “we llistened to players who clear heroic difficulty but don’t get it to drop…”

It’s all difficulties that have an increased drop rate. Just the issue is the rate in Normal and LFR will still be very low. If we were to take the datamined information as gospel , it’s going to be around 15% chance for LFR by the end of the season. (Compared to say 7.5%)
