This would be fine if gear power gaps weren’t so absolutely massive. The issue is the power gaps in gear more than the gear itself. Normal raid to Mythic is currently a 36% difference in health - that’s absolutely absurd.
These gear power gaps is why people want higher ilvl gear to be accessible, because good luck PvPing or doing M+/Torghast when your character is 30-40% weaker than Mythic raiders.
Fix gear power gaps by removing raid difficulties why does normal exist?) and lowering the ilvl increase per difficulty.
What sets? This is all hypothetical ideas were talking. Im still going to be raiding and doing M+, i was just brainstorming how to make other contents gear progress itself. It will never happen, it was just a idea i came up with in 2m
I can’t make any casual complaining threads because Ralph comes in here with his Ilvl 500 weep rag and floods the place with his epic tears. I hope Blizz looks into this.
If you want to read it like that, sure. Someone clearing raids will get gear much quicker than someone relying on M+, and have higher ilvl to boot. They will have an early advantage in getting +14 chests for even more Mythic gear quicker than M+/PvP only players.
The gear gap basically stays consistent for most of, if not the entire raid tier. Also, raid gear shouldn’t be BIS for non-raid content, it’s pretty baffling that mythic raiders get a free pass to “best in all content” gear because they’re catered to like little special snowflakes.
casuals don’t have extra sets of gear. does your gear magically change secondary stats for raiding, mythic+, and pvp, plus whatever stuff you need for your OS? if it doesn’t do that and you don’t have multiple sets you’re as casual as the rest of us. the big boys who play this game play it to the fullest of their ability. they don’t cry about carrying extra gear they will be carrying anyway. but lol at trying to use this as a flex.
With the way gear was set up, last patch the best gear in the game was from M+ for most situations so really it is going to be one or the other.
Also I would be surprised if PvP gear was not generally the best gear for PvP (then again in BC and Wrath and even Cata raid gear often made its way into PvP especially with legendaries) but outside of edge cases PvP is often the best way to get PvP gear and that will likely continue.
they want to lord their ilevel over everyone else because they think that killing a dragon is the most difficult thing to ever be done. i think mythic+ is easier than raiding too but mythic+ and pvp for that matter should have BiS gear for their chosen activity. heck even WQ gear that scaled to mythic raid levels in the world and old content would be okay. this raid mythic or die thing is bs. and you shouldn’t cater to people too lazy to carry multiple sets. it’s like they didn’t play a druid or something in wrath where you had 500 different sets with 20 slot bags and gasp you had to PAY to switch between your specs. the players nowadays are soft.
You can carry gear to min max, but that’s not what he’s talking about. You have to carry extra gear just for it to function.
And for the record, I am a “casual” and I am 100% against this "waaaah, I need gear I didn’t do anything to get so I can do content that gear is massive overkill for " BS that’s been cropping up recently.
