At this point vanilla is more alt friendly lol. Takes a week to level up, and another to get pre bis and attunes (if that). You can also do the attunes before 60. If you play your cards right you can be raid ready freshly dinged.
In bfa you gotta do the boring chore dailies for hours. This is devastating for the pvp community. Since there is no pvp progression.
How? I cant kill anything with it. It well, makes me go from a to b faster but wont make killing the boss faster at all. And most of the war campaign which puts you in 75hoa doenst require flying and is filled with scnearios where you cant fly either lol.
Wow⌠crazyâŚyouâre such a hypocrite bro. You literally stated here that essences are not even a 10% dmg increase, yet you think with 10% dmg im gonna be able to do anything? You get more of an advantage in the game overall by having flying than i do by having r3 essences.
Not really. It is pretty unfriendly especially with attunement quests groups gettng rare and rare and guilds focusing in bwl instead of MC. 3% drop rates also doesnt help your char to catch up. Essences are literally 8 hours played time this in vanilla might aswell be a brd run from forming group to kill all the dg.
Essences beyond rank 1 are in fact not icnreasing your overall dps more than 10% with the exception of crucible and the horrific visions one. I am not hypocrite because you cant read lol. Flying still doesnt give damage/hp/mana/kill boss and in may ways is actually worse than the whistle. It is literally not tied to character power.
Maybe on some servers, but on faerlina you can find a group pretty quickly. Also your wrong when it comes guilds not doing mc. Itâs needed for TF and t2 legs. Also some items are outright better than some drops from bwl. QSR, perdblade, brutality blade oh.
But idk man doing essences is just a grind no one wants to repeat. Also your wrong saying rank3 is less than 10% dmg increase. Blood of the enemy r3 is miles better then r2. In pvp r3 conflict makes you much more tankier than r2.
Flying is tied to character progression. The same way making essences BOA is. You progress your character faster by having flying do you not? ok then.
The power disparity alone is so discouraging. I get on my main, a warlock whoâs about to have rank FOUR lucid dreams FOUR, and I just blast away everything in sight machine gunning chaos bolts in every direction. Visions? Rank 11 solo. Rexxar is so hard!!! For whom? I just blow him up and keep his dogs stunned with infinite infernals.
Then I log into my druid alt who has rank 2 crucible and worldvein 1 and feel like a level 1. Really, alts are so weak itâs pathetic and makes me not even want to try to play them because of how much work is waiting just to make them viable for an M ZERO
Have fun doing najatar lucid farming with no flying lol.
But i play alliance on faerlina.most guilds are pugging MC for now due lack of core raiders interested. You wont find a low level dungeon group in less than 20 mins and 48 onwards there is still the issue of horde ganking your way to brd/ubrs. After 5.months of mc most peole have the t2 items. And considering the amount of guildies that started pugging MC due raiders not interested in it you could easily says nobody want to do MC after doing it soo many times. Or scholo. Or baron runs. Or DM runs(which became more and more rare pretty quickly). Blood of the enemy increses good with classes with higher crits and badly with others the medium average between them is 15%. Nevertheless farming battlegrounds also wont take you much time this char can already buy rank 3 blood of the enemy because i leveled in BGs lol. Conflict and strife rank 1 and 2 are pretty easy to obtain by just spamming arena and waiting the cache. Which is also 2 to 3 hours. And you need memory of lucid dreams in a passive slot so the minor effect is worth and you can get memory faster if you go for it just because you wont need to wait the weekly chest. Anyway classic is alt unfriendly and the repeteable content is diresome. I barely know people whom want to use theirs alts to raid due this. Some launch servers like thalnos are in a pretty bad state already. LA and Brazil seevers also died in classic.
Maybe you should actually play your alt before going for that and get the rank 1 essences takes less than 8 hours, including crucible rank 4.(btw rank 4 doesnt increase any essence damage it is purely cosmetical for all essences and use the reaping flames one for your gearless druid) and I am blasting 3 zones in horrific visions and this chars is its week 2. It is like complaining i cant solo horrific visions with cape level 1, no essence and 340 ilvl.
I know itâs cosmetic. Iâm not an idiot and I donât appreciate you condescending attitude so maybe step the eff back a little and understand that people enjoy their alts and there has never been a time in this game when playing alts has been so daunting and discouraging.
It is not tied to character power at all. It wont make you do more damage, heal more or tank more. I also didnt need flying to boost my character power because the war campaign and forge quests literally thrown you in 75 hoa.
i said character progression. It speeds up your progression on your character which is the reason blizzard doesnt want to make BOA essences. Because our characters progress too fast and we wont play the game. Flying does the same thing, but its okay because it was added before? That logic is dumb.
Dont be angry because i disagree whit you and your terrible example. Next time make sure to go naked on the visions. Yiu stated loudly about the rank 4 essence i didnt think you knew it was comestic only. Also legion till pre patch was pretty hard on alts. No legendary bis? Oh well a shame your spec is not viable till it randomly drops. BfA is literally 8 hours played to make the char viable to low rank pvp, m0-7, and normal raiding.
But thats not the reason. The reason is it is character power. Flying doest increases your character power anymore than whistle and upgrades outpost does(ironically this one is also locked for characters only). You know you have it and its actually better than flying in a lot of situations right? And as i stated do the forge thebwar campaign in your alt and enjoy the 75 hoa.
It is absolutely absurd that they wonât BOA essences at this point, and honestly they need to just get over the idea that it feels like some great feat for each and every individual character to grind this stuff.
Iâve deleted most all of my characters at this point, just zero interest in pouring more time into the broken system.
Corruption takes PLENTY of time metric to farm, why are we gated behind these essences still?
lmfao⌠thats a whole load of lies. 8 hours? cloak quest line with skip takes an hour at the very least. You cant even solo most of the mobs in Uldum and Vale as a 400ilv toon meaning you cant even do the assaults unless you wait for people to help or take over an hour per assault dying over and over because you accidentally pulled something extra and couldnt tank it. Farming 4 BiS r1 essences takes at least another two hours or so depending on how many prequests you have to do, plus also farming AP. This is all without counting time spent in between waiting for RP or traveling. Just actually doing content. Then, you still wont get accepted into pugs because people want carries in m0-anything, and you definitely wont be accepted into a normal raid as a 410. Normal Nyâalotha drops 445 gear. You would never accept a 410 in your group. I dont know what world of warcraft youâre playing. Please stop spreading lies.
i agree with you, but damn deleting 120s? that takes balls 
I agree with OP
