Ok Seriously Blizzard, why couldn’t you fix 2 items in the raid tier you’ve added that nobody wants and make them useful vs giving us crafted items that have no stats. All you had to do was add maybe 5 Spell power to Ghamoo-ra’s Cinch and Azshari Novice Shoulderpads and they’d actually be useful and people might actually want them instead of letting them rot each lockout.
If it is really an issue of balance that you’re trying to fix give us better quality items. Melee have better options and are blowing casters out of the water and this is what you came up with, to give us a little bit of spell power and take away our mana and any possible regen? Great! Absolutely Fantastic!
Also you could have added the quest rewards for alliance that you had for horde and the shoulders would be a non issue.
I keep asking myself what parts of SoD are “fun and engaging”? While there are many things that are fun (I do want to give you guys credit), there are plenty more that aren’t and this is falling into the later category.
We need stats, your new tailoring Items don’t cut it.
