because the BIS essence for all DPS is Gated behind the uldum fraction and the currency for the Cloak

That has been changed to revered. It is still a little crazy to be turning in a paragon chest already.

While this was true, and I understand that someone may have been pushing hard to get exalted (mind you, they would have hit revered at the same time as anyone else who did every daily/"WQ"), but they certainly made the rep change for the essence before anyone could have been exalted. So to not only have still gotten exalted, but then already grinded out another 10k, that sounds a lot like people getting contracts and hitting up every single WQ in BfA.

phew, i'm slacking both reps as it is with only a bit over revered for rajani and maybe 4k over revered for uldum accord.

i really can't bring myself to do it more often since i don't have a nice addon (i saw an addon which displayed daily events in the assault zones on the wfr stream of thdlock, dunno how it is called) and have to look for the events myself. and i don't like it that much.

Maybe they should fix the lag in the Vale before fixing paragon cache. Who spends time in there to farm rep when sometimes (after lunch until late evening) the zone is close to unplayable. I always try to GTFO as soon as possible from that area, sometimes I don't even finish my dailies if there's something with low drop rate. The experience is just bad.

It lags if there are more than one group killing the world boss.

Wonder when they are going to make Anzu actually tameable,instead of telling us to go find some one running an alt through Mt Hyjal for the look a like.

Battle of Nazjatar can still put the entire zone on a 10s delay if people are also fighting the world boss. And that's content from last year. Don't expect this to be fixed anytime soon. It's probably a technical limitation that would be too expensive to address.

As the other already said, it's revered now, not exalted.
And AFAIK the Cloak isn't related to the reps.
Where are you taking these informations?

Paragon caches need 10.000 after exalted.
They did most likely every event, every quest, used every reputation bonuses and farmed the shit out of world quests with contracts...that's burning out

I think he's referring to the fact that you purchase the rank 3 essence with 50 corrupted mementos.

Still wouldn't make sense in any way shape or form to mention the Cloak.

Jesus Christ MMO champion IQ strikes again where do you get CVs from? Right form the Rep sources (Daily/Weekly) you Grind the Rep sources even after you have the essence for the CVs, and dont get me started with the 470 azerite/corrupted Gear you can get while you are upgrading the Cloak.

Bold to talk about IQ and completely missing the fact that the rank 3 essences are locked behind revered, not exalted. And that actually for a while now.

Furthermore, now I understand what you mean, well at least try to mean.

Yes, dailies and events reward Coalescing Visions.
However, I was talking about rep grind, that ultimately has nothing to do with the Cloak.
Because:

• Paragon Chest doesn't give you CV according to WoWhead.
• The bonus rep contract doesn't give you CV.
• Being exalted doesn't give you extra CV.

Of course, the path to get there brings partially CV, but as said, I talked about the pure rep grind people did. Running Visions was probably a nice to have, not their main goal, which was a paragon chest.

So yeah, I'd be careful to talk about "low iq"

You can't do the rep grind with out receiving the visions. People who are interested in maximizing their cloak attempts for the week would be doing every dailies, weekly, and vignette. Just because there is reputation attached to those things does not make it a separate activity. Earning that reputation gets you things you need for Horrific Visions (and cloak levels).

There is no need for anyone to insult anyone especially when you were both wrong at some point.

my dude I never said that, i said it's the essence and the Cloak ranks BOTH can only be obtained by rep "grinding" rhorle explained that very well, I didn't even include the azerite and Corrupted 470 gear

I am not your dude, pal.

Also still, my point still is that the reputation for Uldum Accord and Rajani don't matter in the slightest for the Cloak. It just happens to happen that you get both with a daily or weekly

And you still miss the point that for attaining the paragon chest, you have to go out of your way to gain reputation in a way that doesn't gives you any kind of CV.
So yeah, they people who got their paragon chest definitely gone for the chest specifically, CV being a by product of this grind.

And still no hotfix for Anzu.
