Raid bosses should be dropping valor stones even if you already killed the boss, similar to heroic dungeons.
Its valorstones, not crests. Raiding is supposed to be one of the pillars to play the game so I should be able to join other groups in killing the boss and get some piddly valor stones at the very least.
No need to time gate the time gate mechanics further for raiders. You can farm heroic dungeons for valor so Im pretty sure this wouldnt be a game breaking change.
Correct. Valorstones are not on any lockout for any content, therefore raid bosses should be dropping valorstones like other, far easier pillars of content.
The lockout is loot based, meaning that you’re locked from looting the boss once it has already been killed. Mythic difficulty raids and higher difficulty dungeons, by contrast, are instance id locked, meaning that you’re then get locked to that specific instance and if the boss is dead you can no longer kill and loot them. Random dungeon finder is an exception and bypasses instance id locks.
Heroic Council is MUCH harder to kill than an entire heroic dungeon, therefore it seems like a bug that the bosses in raids do not continue to drop valorstones on subsequent kills.
Hopefully they fix it soon because I enjoy the raiding pillar of content therefore I should be able to help other raid groups with progression and be rewarded with valorstones instead of farming heroic dungeons for valorstones.
If that doesnt make sense, no worries. I wasnt posting this for other players opinions. I posted it to notify the developers in case the are unaware of the bug.
