Sup guys,
with the upcoming release of AQ right now our Classleads and members are discussing on how to handle the distribution of T2,5. We and others use to call the Tokens Bottleneck items, rare and compeditive at the beginning with many more people having access to it during the P5.
So this is about the early P5 Token distribution. Noteworthy to say we play on Horde. Me myself I am a Rogue so I mostly compete with warriors and shamans on the tokens.
Pretty clear the first tokens go to either the Shamans until they have the full set for chain heal bonus and to the tanks for whichever Tokens they need/can make use of.
After that it is the turn for the Rogues and Furys. Due to Loot Council and prior Prios we Rogues had a discussion on who should get which token first. While some plead we should gear the Rogues one by one with the tokens, e.g making use of the 5-Bonus and due to the Bottleneck problematic, others wanted to split up the tokens due to prior Prios handled in BWL etc.
The Darkmantle Rogues and full T2 Rogues having the least prior on the Set due to other Set bonuses from said Sets.
So how ya’ll handling that business?
Which ever way keeps the raid members returning to raid each week. Waste peoples time having them show up with virtually no hope of upgrades until a chosen few are completely decked out is a sure fire way to kill attendance.

Sure thing. Thats why people with no “big use” and later prio on t2,5 get prios on off set items, e.g trinkets, weapons etc.
I don’t care about T2.5

As a fury warrior I wish we could at least get prio on the 2.5 shoulders for those of us who haven’t gotten DTPs after raiding BWL every night. These are solid even if you have DTP as well. Just dropped 150g on some abyssal leather shoulders at least, but feel safer in plate.
Unfortunately we’re moving away from LC to a new EPGP system, so our prio list is out the door just in time for those classes who have 2x full tier sets to be on equal footing. I was looking forward to seeing roles like Spriest/feral/fury finally getting some catchup gear…Still rocking itemlevel 65-66 (half blues) here vs ilvl 71+ full epic rogues. For fury warriors especially we got double boned with the whole “tank prio” and really didn’t get many tier set scraps for OS either.
I’d like our fury tank to take as many tokens as soon as possible though, especially helm/chest/pants.
SGC/breastplate of annihilation will still be the top plate DPS chests. For boots we’ll want chromatic or the ones off of Vem still. For pants we can either use titanic leggings or pick up the mail 62AP/2crit pants for pure DPS (hit cap too easy to reach next phase). For helm we just can’t ever really beat lionheart.
I think I’m going to throw my hat in for the 2.5 chest/helm/pants though at some point over these items since I’m kinda “that DPS warrior” who gets asked to pick up stuff on pulls or cover for MIA tanks. The DPS is comparable for all these pieces and it has really solid survivability stats so I can just throw on a shield when our tank forgets to put on his ony cloak.
Thanks for your reply!
We Rogues/Furys are also gonna do a back and forth when it comes to the shoulder/boots token. Tho our Tanks need them first, after that we do it back and forth with the first token probably going to a Rogue due to set Bonus.
Playing a Rogue coming from a fury warrior (I know strange reroll:D) I see where you are comin from and I feel you man.
