So we all remember that explanation Blizzard gave at the start of Legion that waiting to do Suramar until you have higher AK to maximize AP wasnt worth it
IIRC, reasons were:
- you wanted to open up Arcway and CoS asap for extra mythic runs
- at the very least you needed Friendly with Nighfallen for Uniting the Isles
- back then AK took 5 days each
- doing the first 6/6 questline is needed to unlock additional Suramar WQs (Im pretty sure some Suramar WQs still spawn even without doing 6/6)
- etc.
but - is that still the case right now ? Lets say you level a new alt to 110 and you obviously want to get his AP/traits up ASAP .. Suramar gives a ton of AP, but not so much with low AK
the way i see it post-7.1 you wont need Friendly or Honored reps at all, so in 7.1 it definitely makes sense to me to hold off on Suramar, theres no rush
but even now in 7.0 it feels like you can just do the minimum enough entry quests for Friendly rep to unlock WQs and then start getting your AK up (work orders will be like 2-3 days on a new alt right now with catch-up) .. after you are almost caught up on AK - can blaze through Suramar for good AP
you wont have CoS And Arcway until 7.1 but that doesnt really matter IMO - thats just 2 dungeons and you have mythics+ and EN as a gear source now (unlike at launch)
Thoughts ?
