As the title implies, it would be fantastic to have the 3 Class items off Majordomo Executus purchasable with Undermine Real in Phase 5
Specifically:
[Eye of Divinity]
[Ancient Petrified Leaf]
[Shadowflame Skull]
Reasoning
These items are both impactful and RNG based. Yes, I know all items off bosses are such, but the introduction of [Shadowflame Skull] further reduced and diluted the dropchance of the other 2, previous existing items.
Anecdotally, My raid team has done MC every lockout in Phase 4. We started with 5 Priests (now down to 4) and have seen 1 single [Eye of Divinity] the entire phase. End of the world? Certainly not. Feels terrible and frustrating seeing [Shadowflame Skull] get deleted because we keep getting it when we just want an EoD? Yup.
It would have hypothetically been nice to have a token drop that could be turned in for either of the 3 items, akin to a Tier Token, but I understand why that was not done from a dev-time and/or RP aspect.
Either way, It just feels a bit weird that T2 item(s) would be added to the vendor but not these existing Class items from MC.
Alternative Solution
One way to accomplish this without removing a reason to go back to MC in Phase 5 and onward would be to make the items exchangeable off the Hydraxian Vendor at the Front of the Raid.
As in, One could purchase an [Eye of Divinity] with an [Ancient Petrified Leaf] or [Shadowflame Skull]. Or likewise, one could purchase a [Ancient Petrified Leaf] with either a [Eye of Divinity] or [Shadowflame Skull]. Perhaps it does not even show up on the vendor unless you have a relevant item in your bag.
The above would still incentive people to do the Raid, but avoid the case where a [Shadowflame Skull] is deleted for the 5th time because you only have 1 or 0 Rogue Tanks…
Agreed! And they also need to make bindings + eye purchasable with reels. as someone who HR eye of divinity and got it within a few hours of MC launch (prolly first bene on NA) and my rog also has bindings. I STILL believe these items should NOT be gatekept on a SEASONAL server. tbh even on ERA these items should never be gatekept via lead/council. this is why im strongly in support of personal loot for classic+. (literally as someone who gate keeps these items) i dont even like master looter but i gotta do this stupid sht bc of what blizzard provided us
if they dont give us personal loot, then they need to remove ML from classic and have some type of AI system that can detech your spec and if you alrdy have “x” item and make it need/greed/pass (while still allowing loot to be traded)
Eye of sulfuras should get some love in the same way, maybe with an increased cost(?) to balance the fact that it helps make a legendary, or something along those lines? Another lockout without my sweet sweet hand of rag might break me
Yup. They invoke the “it’s just a seasonal server” as an excuse enough on other decisions that have been questionable, no reason they cannot invoke it for something good like these ideas
Your first suggestion is complete garbage and you should be ashamed of yourself for taking the time to vomit it on the internet, but the alternate suggestion is a maybe.
Raid comps in 2019 wow was 50% warriors maybe 1 warlock, maybe 1 mage, 3 healing priests, a healing shaman, maybe a healing druid. So Idk what that guy is talking about!
Go back and do MC in the next phases. Just like 2019. They cant give everything out for free or there is no point in doing MC. There are plenty of items that dont drop for raids, thats classic. Keep doing it and you will get it. Shouldnt take long in future phases to blast through the last phases raids. Can even 15 man them.
i really dont get why ppl like to gate keep stuff as if having a TF, hand of rag or any of domo’s loot takes any skill to get. these items are all just streamer items or GL/RL/counciled. ive had 3 TF’s my first was back in 2007 when TBC first came out i got the left binding finally when kara was released. then in 2019 i got it on 2 rogues and literally almost had it on my hunter but the other binding just wouldn’t drop again.
theres a reason why crazy low drop rate legos were removed from current WoW. the irony was that ppl thought that having legos meant something when in reality its just horrid gatekept loot.
seasonal or not, legos and domo loot should be attainable for casuals
i feel accomplished!
