Then dont run it. Oh wait you do need something. Can you solo it? No?
Thought so.
I did a full BRD run to help some people get quests done last night. I am going again tonight for another. I don’t need any gear, Rep there is capped, can’t get more without cores from MC. Legit need nothing from it.
Guess how many reserves i am asking for.
Zero.
It is a concept you can’t rap your head around. I get it.
And please don’t assume i didn’t read your post because i dont agree with you. My main back in vanilla was hotw druid. I have 3 Druids now spread out through out classic. I know exactly what it is, how it works, and what gear is needed.
The fact you have to run instances to get healing gear when people are literally dragging druid into MC and throwing healing stat gear at this by the fistful tells me everything i need to know.
Enjoy your orbs, justify it any way you wish.
