What's the point of setting loot spec?

I definetly don’t expect bis, but come on-I’m still overwhelmingly getting trash for my off-specs instead of something usable with this one. Why bother having the distinction of the system is just going to give me random regardless?

You’re a warrior. You hit stuff with sharp stick regardless of spec.

It’s a more noticeable difference with something like Resto Druid vs Feral, or WW Monk vs Mistweaver.

This is overly reductive to the point of being comical. We’ll pretend for the sake of conversation this is my main and I don’t have several other toons.

Neat. So you admit it’s a problem- thus I repeat:

I never admitted there was a problem. I don’t think there’s a problem at all, you were rather vague with your original post. Mind extrapolating?

Certain open-world systems give random rewards…but end-game systems always stick to your spec choice. Frustrating, sure, but its how it goes.

Unless you’re complaining about fury getting 1-handed weapons. Its best to set loot to arms to prevent that.

I couldn’t have been more clear. If you’re struggling to understand, I’ll direct you to your local grade school for assistance with reading comprehension.

Weekly reward? Because tha’s the main problem.

No, I’m complaining about Arms, and it’s not to do with weapons or set gear.

Absolute joke that I have to nervously check before downing echo and vault checks that I have arms selected since I still don’t have ashcandy

Smf was a mistake and should have never come back

And I’ll direct you to my rear end. Good luck figuring out very simple systems :+1:t2:

How is it a problem?

Warrior wants shield: loot spec Prot. Warrior wants Titans Grip weapons: loot spec Arms.

Druid wants healing trinkets: loot spec Resto. Druid wants agility weapon: loot spec Guardian or Feral.

Priest wants healing trinkets: loot spec Holy or Disc.

Monk wants intellect weapon: loot spec MW. Monk wants DPS trinkets: loot spec WW.

Paladin wants 2h weapon: loot spec Ret. Paladin wants shield: loot spec Holy or Prot.

I’m unsure how that’s broken.

Ah. One of those. Not worth a conversation. Have the day you deserve.

was the h an intentional typo?

When I set ret loot spec I have a chance at dps trinkets - which are awesome - and 2-handed swords. I’ve always got drops appropriate to the loot spec I’ve set. I think for warrior probably the only difference will be prot, with shields, 1-hands and defensive trinkets. Though I suppose 1-handers drop with SMF on Fury?

I mean, it’s probably more important to warrior than any other class tbh. If you’re fury and ever have your loot set to current spec, you’re doing it wrong.

This is going to be good.

Warrior needs something that’s not held in the hand: good luck.

That’s because you’re arguing against a strawman. I can see why you’re confused.

Yet here you are leaving this comment regardless. Don’t pretend like you’re any better.

Yes and no

One of those angry forum goers who are rude for literally 0 reason.

You explained it perfectly btw. But alas, it’s not our job to get through to pea brains.

Sounds more like a Warrior specific issue.

Happens on my DK and Evoker as well.
