Mum what's up with updated loot

  • Players can no longer unconditionally roll Need on 1H weapons (or 2H for a Warrior in Fury loot spec).

For that last one, in 10.0.5, the system will now thoroughly identify if you can dual-wield the weapon in question, based on your loot spec. If you can, and you already have two versions of it at least as powerful as the item being rolled for, you can’t Need the item.

So this was posted in wow head with the updated loot.

So this this mean fury warrior can’t roll 2 handed weapons? Or we have to set loot to Arms to get 2 handed weapons? If we left it as fury we can only roll need on 1 handed weapons?

I thought fury can use both 1 handed and 2 handed weapons and of we want 2 handed weapons on m+ we set to arms.

It was worded weirdly. It is for Raiding. What it means is that if you’re dualwielding or have two weapons of the same type in your bag of greater ilvl you cant go in need on something that is knowingly a downgrade.

There was a problem in raids, specificially LFR where people with like M+ or normal/heroic ilvl gear was intentionally needing on lfr gear under the claim “Transmog”. In a personal loot situation the rolls would have been out of your hands if you got the item or not.

But now people are intentionally taking upgrades from people who will actually wear the gear for no reason except wanting the look to “maybe” transmog it on some gear someday. Other problem was when someone would roll for two of the same item from boss and win both and either wont or cant trade one away.

Honestly blizzard should just make it where if you get a higher ilvl piece of equipment you auto get it’s lower ilvl type to stop people from using that excuse.

This cucks fury so hard.

Most fury play in “arms loot spec” as it gaurentees just 2 handers in the loot table, which by blizzards own admission is how it should be played.

Playing in “fury loot spec” adds 1 handers to the loot table mucking it up.

We are fine just playing in “arms loot spec” but we cannot anymore.

If you are in “arms loot spec” you are not to be considered dual-wielding, thus not allowing us to roll on repeat weapons of equal or lower ilvl even if our offhand is below ilvl.

You are forcing fury to either play in fury spec and take the chance of of looting an inferior build weapon.

Or you are forcing fury to have to farm two different two handers, in “arms loot spec” because if you already have one you cannot need on the second one.

In pvp, m+, you’ll be fine’ish but not raiding. We will have to switch loot specs between raiding and every other content now.

Imo to fix this,Make bloodthirst baseline and replace it with a talent for tg or smf choice node. Depending on which one you pick, decides your loot.
