I guess that adds 1 trinket that's probably better than my margok one. Makes the tier helmet from kromog a 6ilvl drop rather than an 11, which probably makes it more worthwhile than stressing about grabbing blast furnaces pants.
Oh, and I guess it would have made my stonefury band better than my current ring, had I not sharded it a week ago.
Woops.
Also i'm now realizing more than ever that I'll need new gloves. Dangit urd.
These are pretty sweet gloves, I'm not.going to.lie
I feel like there was someone who had a really crazy trinket though
Some high ass ilevel
It was, what, 701? No wait shit, hotfix
Its 706 now
Who was it that had that trinket... Hmm...
Ive killed 15 bosses that could drop tier upgrades.
Both of my 2pc has come from bonus rolls.
I dont wanna hear no shit about how my trinket is 6ilvl's higher than average. BRF been dicking me over from the start. It's about time my luck changed!
i'm beginning to realize the full breadth of my ability to be an asshole
every time i see a guild trying to recruit for H BRF progression and they're 7/10 or lower, i always gotta chime in. ESPECIALLY when they say what they are recruiting and i'm not what they are looking for

BRF is the same tier as Highmaul but with slightly higher ilvl
No wait it's a new tier, so if you're in mythic Highmaul you'll have to drop down to Heroic BRF
Wait no, same tier otherwise it's complete bullshit that you're getting downgrades in the new raid
Ok fine they're separate tiers here is a shitload of free ilvl so you can beat Blast Furnace

We're only 8/10
Not that much more bragging rights
Despite all the constant talks about mythics and blackhands kills etc. We're still one of the furthest progressed chogall guilds IIRC.
We're squarely ahead of the curve and above the average. Brag your heart out.

Blizzards real problem was that they wanted to have it be the same tier, but also be way more difficult.
Except that means progression has to come at everyone doing the gitgud rather than the gitgear. Which as it turns out, besides mythic raiders, no one really wants that. We dont want to bash our heads into a boss for 100 attempts. We want to give it a solid 20-30 then accept that it's something we'll give another shot at better ilvl's.
So they have to buff the ilvl's and pretend it was a new tier all along.

Yeah but counterpoint: still better than the plebs recruiting for progression

Fair, fair
Honestly, this is best group I've ever raided with
Well, I think I did some heroic cataclysm stuff with A team.
This is definitely the best large group I've ever raided with
Wrath was a time to see for the good ol' A team. We heroic'd everything and were really on the bleeding edge for most of that expansion. Since gearing alts was easy, we also each had 2 or 3 geared characters
Blackrock is more enjoyably tuned than Highmaul was outside of Mar'gok
But the actual fights aren't quite as fun, mechanically
It sorta.evens out right now, but I could see BRF becoming increasingly less fun to have on farm every week if there is too long a wait between us getting that status and the next tier getting dropped.
blackrock just feels really long.
We 1 shot like every fight up until maidens or something.
It still took us pretty much the full 4 hours.
I feel like you can blast through 6/7 highmaul in an hour and a half.
We have 7/10 on farm, but it still takes us the full night to slog through them all.
And I get that perhaps it's disproportionate given that the boss we wiped on adds 10 minutes per wipe. But eesh, it's still a lengthy ordeal. Lots of trash, plenty of doubling back. I mean highmaul is essentially 1 single circle with a minor runback.
BRF is "Oh just clear like 4 groups of trash between every boss, and also you'll have to double back 3 times across the entire foundry."
the excitement of finally reaching blackhand and his whole "enter into room to see what he was doing" was completely ruined by that fucking elevator
I find it kind of dumb that he's just walking in circles around the room.
he spends every wing boss death yelling at you. Then you get up there and he's just silently walking around.
For margok he actively tells his guards to kill you. Then once you kill them he's all "Kneel and swear fealty to me, and I may spare your lives!"
It just feels like margok personally cared about killing us. Blackhand seems fairly satisfied with just walking
there's a guild on proudmoore called reckless abandonment, and when I see their posts in trade chat I sometimes point out that the phrase is 'reckless abandon'
reckless abandonment would be like, leaving your kid in a hot car all day or something
hold your head high soldier, it ain't over yet
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat

this is good and now my mythic highmaul ilevel downgrades will be ilevel equivalencies
yay

Bonus rolls still count as drops, ya goofball.
You are probably the only person in our raid with a nearly perfect BiS mythic item so idunwannahearit

It is definitely tougher, though.
That said, there is no Garalon so far, so I don't even care. Fucking Garalon you guys.
It's retroactive. So yes, existing stuff will also go up 5 ilvls.
It's retroactive, yes. Also applies to crafted and apexis gear
i will ride my mythic micro crucible until the day i die
i am the cache whisperer
Wait. Are you saying you've only got until the next raid tier to live? RIP in peace buddy.

and so many elevators
like
so many
That took up a huge chunk of time, and we stopped 30 minutes early.
It'll be pretty easy to clear in a night once every boss is on farm.
Suicide.
Run back in.

i, for one, am disgusted that the elevator restricted my ability to see his ideal pathing routine
