Icon vs Essence

Gameplay Dungeons, Raids and Scenarios

So what will puggers go for in m+

Omni essence or whispering icon?

Omni essence will only be better with several people attuning to different stuff, while icon in itself is better.

How high is the chance that omni essence with randoms will be better than icon in your opinion?

Depends if you wan’t to customize the secondary or not. I doubt the ‘grouping’ buffs from either are prevalent or impactful in M+ pugs.
