I’m saying this as Feral who mainly wants to PvP. My most important stats are Versatility & Mastery.
Versa is of course obvious, it’s the same for all classes. Higher mastery increases the damage of my bleeds. Yet the PvP weapon for the Feral Druid offers only haste and versa. Why do I have to grind heroic raid to get my BiS PvP weapon? My Ret paladin also gains the most from Versa/Mastery, yet he just receives these stats on his PvP weap.
The randomness here is just killing me. I refuse to buy that PvP weap on my druid. Whats the point?
Edit: my solution would be to add an NPC and some currency (because this is just how Blizz thinks) that lets you change your stats. Either that or give us some more 2H weapons with different stats.
If you think you are at the PVP rating skill cap, and your rating will never go up, then farm the heroic raid one.
If you are aiming to and think you can reach 2100 or 2400 rating at some point where you can upgrade the PVP weapon to 226 or 233, then do the math and you will find that a 233 or 226 weapon with haste/vers is better than the 220 vers/mastery weapon from heroic sire denathrius.
The 3rd alternative is farm mythic sire denathrius for a 233 weapon with your best stats.
But if you want Blizzard to do something about it, I am afraid that no class or spec will get the same 2 stats on every single piece of PVP gear. You can get your best stats on some PVP pieces, but not all. I don’t think this is going to change.
May be your paladin got the best stats on the weapon, but I am sure there are other pieces where the stats are not optimal.
There are a total of 60-70 items in the loot table. So roughly 4-5% chance to get get the targeted item if he does 10M+14 runs. To have 50% chance you need 13-14 weeks of 10 +14s every week.
And that’s the problem of the damn weekly vault. You can’t target items.
I don’t really understand why having the best stats on your weapon is so important.
For every other piece of armor, you can choose between at least 2 pieces and avoid haste. So unless you intend to play with 0 haste, it’s not that bad to play with haste on your weapon, and avoid it on other pieces of equipment.
I’m struggling to get a weapon beyond 197ilvl… 3 weeks of the SAME items in the vault. Moreso finding it very difficult to climb when I’m stuck 202 ilvl ( I can’t upgrade anything)
I agree, most pieces that the conquest vendor sells are versa + crit / versa + haste, while feral’s and guardians profit the most from mastery, Why not make 3 options per piece of gear blizzard? Or bring back reforging even better.
False, this is only for conquest gear NOT for honor gear.
Wow such a good argument…
You can’t be stuck at 202 ilvl. You have a 5000 conquest cap that buys you almost full set of 200 ilvl conquest gear. If you have baseline conquest gear you will need 1400 rating for 207 ilvl gear, 1600 for 213 ilvl, 1800 for 220 ilvl and 2100 for 226 ilvl.
