Honestly doing it a second time was awful and I hated it, but the people I play the game with made it worthwhile to stick around. Now faced with 2+ months of no new content I decided to do it a third time.
Guess what, It still sucks and It’s boring. It’s the most mind numbingly boring content in the game and I refuse to believe anyone likes collecting Fathom Ray meat.
Blizzard, you’ve already let everyone know that you thought BFA was too alt unfriendly when you talked at Blizzcon and you plan on fixing it in Shadowlands, why not fix it now - It’s an easy fix.
I’ll post on my alts below so nobody can say “you just want multiple mains for nothing” because I now have 2 characters with BIS essences and I’m working on a third.
This Character is 7/8 Mythic and I raid lead a 4/8 Mythic Alt run with this character now.
Just on a side note, this is a rare instance of a thread that is majority dwarf (at time of writing this).
I too am doing it on three. This, Manlion (Khaz’Goroth) and Cindersong (Frostmourne).
I personally don’t find it a big deal, but I acknowledge how hard getting say vision of perfection 3 and Condensed life force 3 might be for some people.
I used to (personally) Raid lead a full guild alt mythic BoD when it was current tier, now my alt runs (We do 4/8M) are made up of 3 separate guilds that all had their own alt runs in the past.
“I’d be interested in alts but…” has become such a overused statement at this point and you can’t fault them for it. People want to play alts but don’t want to put the hard yards in
Oh you don’t need rank 3 essences, you can get rank 2 fine.
Sure you can, but not having 3 handicaps you and makes you way less competitive and have less attachment to the character.
I’m a raid leader who enjoys raid leading so much I often lead pug heroics with people who haven’t be able to get AoTC or even finish normal. I’ll bring guildies alts who will help carry them through.
Unfortunately due to this, It’s restricted to 3. I’d love to play all healers.
Answer is easy, don’t play alts. Your main needs work.
Also they are alts for a reason. They don’t need to be maximized and theorycrafted to the max that’s what your main is for. It isn’t even that hard to get some decent enough essences. The only hard one to get is blood of the enemy
Seriously though, I’m really not going to be going through this for a thirteenth time. I’m putting my foot down there. I mean, maybe just five or six more, but probably not anymore, maybe.
Sorry you’re either making an effort to ignore my post or you’re misunderstanding.
I’ve done the content I wanted to on my “main”. Now I would like to do content on a different character. My Shaman which is now my main is 8/8 Mythic, level 70 neck and has BIS essences.
I’ve completed all the content in BFA currently.
Blizzard is lucky I have such a great group of people I play with.
