There is no checkmate. Welfare heroic raid gear ilvl items shouldn’t be a thing.

I wasnt aware item level 400 was heroic level? what is this? 8.0/8.1?
You cant get 420 weapons from WQ thank god. Weapons dont WF for more than 10 levels so he either got a 10ilvl boost from his chest or 5 from a mythic drop.
I dont know why youre sarcastically saying this BoD is still the current raid tier. All its achievements will be obtainable right up until 8.2 drops. People still pug and raid it everyday.
It’s actually been announced that Season 3 will commence 2 weeks after 8.2 has been dropped. And that up until that point AotC/CE will be obtainable from both Jaina and Uu’nat.
Mate, you are arguing a different point. Also “you rolled the wrong class”? What?
The argument started as “World Gear doesn’t invalidate BoD gear because CoS has already made it invalid” to which Medaax argued “BoD is current cap for 75% of your slots”
He’s still correct. BoD is current for most slots for the majority of classes. The maximum number of armour slots you can fill from CoS is 3 out of 8. With a lot of those items not being relevant to more than one role.
So any slot you can’t upgrade through CoS has the potential to be invalidated by world content rewards.
If the rate of earning manapearls from the PTR is anything to go by; from activities that take 30-40mins per day expect 2.5 upgrades per day on average. 2.2 fully upgraded 425 pieces per week.
A fully upgraded set of Benthic gear in less than 4 weeks.
You could very easily earn more upgrades per day if you did extras, like went hunting for chests and killed non-quest associated rares. Playing beyond simply logging in to do the required min amount of dailies or whatever WQ awarded manapearls.
The emissary alone is worth 25 pearls.
It likely won’t be uncommon to walk away from an hour play session with 4 or 5 upgrades on days like that.
Add on to this the fact that you are still going to have the new World Boss, Warfront, and Emissaries spitting out higher ilvl gear and to achieve 425 in every available slot may take under 3-4 weeks of very casual play. Seeing as getting 430 boots from a Warfront or World Boss, for example, completely negates the need to upgrade the Benthic for that slot. (In the context of a casual player)
Reading these replies, I have realized how much more stuff can be done in the game-curse of being casual ;-(

very cool.
but dont get stuck in those brackets.
I hope one day you’ll be able to jump into a thread and add something of substance to the conversation instead of the “cool”, “feels good man”, or the typical gibberish that makes no sense.
Still very cool man
This is kind of wrong… not entirely, but kind of.
It depends on your guild or raid team. If its taking you 1 1/2 - 2 weeks to get a boss down on average (2 raid nights a week) you really don’t have far more more of an advantage.
If your raid team is lagging in progression, and you are extending lockouts so you don’t have to risk getting stuck on reclears, you don’t have more far more opportunities.
Lockouts still exist and RNG is still a thing - so even if you get a boss down your not guaranteed loot…
Its just a fallacy I see being thrown around that bugs the crap out of me.
I don’t begrudge anyone loot, but it is annoying to have no useable rewards drop after a couple nights of wiping. The last 2 bosses we cleared the gear was DE’d on the spot because no one needed it.
It take some (not all) of the joy out of pushing. It takes content that feels like it should be rewarding something useful and special (because of its difficulty) and and makes it all about the achievement…
…which is fine I guess, I’m doing it anyway, but it would be cool to get rewards from it… you know, like non-raiders want meaningful rewards for doing non-raid content.
