    Mythic Personal Loot?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if you can do personal loot in heroic/mythic raiding content like you can in dungeons?

    More to the point...why would you even want to set personal loot in mythic? (it's not like it's gonna be pug-friendly anytime soon)

    Personal loot limits gearing potential for the guild/raid as a whole. It should never be used in any serious raiding scenario.

    Early on you get more loot per person. When players have no gear you can get more loot off a boss than if it were ML or Group.

    Later when you are filling gear spots other methods are better.

    Early on, you could potentially get more loot per person. You could also potentially get less loot per person. The drop rate is balanced such that on aggregate they are equivalent.

    I guess I should say potential is higher. In personal loot every person has a chance to get loot on every kill, in group loot, only 4 (or however many)pieces of loot drop.

    You could also switch it on a per-boss basis.

    But on a high-demand boss, everyone should be using their bonus rolls, which reduces the effectiveness of potential gain of having it on personal loot. You run the risk of bonus rolling what you got from personal loot and it's completely wasted. Whereas if you bonus roll something that drops, it can go to someone else.
