[Shingaru]

Any1 on the PTR can let me know how much AP is dropping in the each of the dungeons?

IDK but the toon I transferred over had a M+16 done for the week and

That's only with AK25 though, with current AK40 levels that will be 12.5m AP.

Except the prices will be relatively similar - or worse, even - so comparing it to current values works.

watched slootbag do some m+ on the ptr on wednesday. an 8 maw gave roughly 160k ap when completed and then the weekly chest gave him 550k ap at ak25. also, with the scaling up of dungeons, i dont think people will be doing 15s for weekly. the 8 he did was roughly about a 12-13 now, so im guessing the weekly will go back to being a 10 until people start getting more heavily geared again.

Why would people running 15's or higher now, stop running them and revert to 10s...? I sure as heck don't run high level M+ for the AP.. WF/TF Gear, 900 piece in my cache... why would I downgrade to an 880? or w/e the 10 gives

Because they're buffing dungeons, so a 10 will be roughly as hard as a 15 is now? Which means they'll likely also re-tune the drops

M+ will be rescaled to around same as it was when it opened, so doing m+ with ilvl 900 will probably be like doing it with 840 at start.
Gl with the 15 farm.

Anyone who is comfortably doing 15s now, will be comfortably doing them in 7.2 aswell, because they'll be much more geared by then. If you're only just getting into 15s nearish to when 7.2 comes out, yeah you'll drop back a bit.

"Comfortably" is a very broad statement - especially since we don't know just how much rebalancing is being done and how difficult will new affixes be. Also, people who are doing 15 "comfortably" are pretty geared already and don't have all that much room to grow, unless they also farm Mythic raids or get really lucky with TFs.

the 8 gave 885 drops from the end chests, which i think is equivalent to a 12 currently.

I'm 895, and comfortably doing 15s with a group of people around the same ilvl. Comfortably to the point of we're now pushing 20s, so by the time 7.2 comes out, we'll be 15-20ilvls higher, better trinkets, relics, weapon ilvl, experience, we'll be comfortably doing 20+. So I'd have to say at the very least, we could still push a 15 out for the week in 7.2 and most likely it would be comfortably.

Sure is!

Whipped this spreadsheet up. It takes into account your characters AK (This character is 22) and doing all your weekly clears. AK increases every 5 days and continues looping until AP >= max traits.

function timeToMaxTraits(region, toonName, realmName, LFRBossKills, normBossKills, heroicBossKills, mythicBossKills, mythicDaily, mythicHighest)

    if (!toonName || !realmName)

Should be accurate. Someone let me know if it's not. I'm not a programmer so excuse me if something is wrong.

*Highest M+ does not currently function because I do not know the values.
*Higher level M+ only seems to affect AP gains from your cache.
