The wod gearing will be a disaster. I get that tier is predictable, but random stats, random sockets warforge and non warforge is so excessive its not even funny. It makes comparing logs/comparing your self to other people kinda pointless. I'll still do it, but meh.
I think thats the point, and the intention is to make it so that you never get BiS. It's not really necessary to get a crazy amount of gear to kill things, it's like Challenge Mode where it's about your skill, while retaining a sense of upgrades and loot.
Of course, people will still go absolutely apeshit about every little bit of min/maxing.
e: I got rejected from a guild because I didn't have an addon like weakauras or tellmewhen to track procs. Since snapshotting is gone, I didn't really think it's necessary anymore, coupled with the random PPM rate on everything not lining up anymore, it's so pointless.
Of course I used to track them, and when I would get 4 procs + dark soul + badge of dominance, it was most damage in the world and then I spread the dots to every one in range.
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills though. Am I wrong in thinking this? What the fuck is a warlock supposed to do when shit procs? It's not like re-applying dots is necessary, and procs are so uneven that it's pointless to save big damage dumps except for on-use cooldowns.
