Is far too low given the current state of the game:
- Players can get to almost 425 ilvl from world content alone
- This gear's value exceeds heroic gear with a socket
Problems:
- The raid will be obsolete for almost the entire playerbase except the few mythic raiders before it is even released due to the current rewards on offer (Benthic)
- The lack of upgrades in Eternal Palace due to the benthic rewards will make it impossible to balance the raid. Do you balance heroic around questing gear (425)? If so, then there won't be any upgrades in the raid. Do you balance it like normal (410, 15 ilvls below what the raid drops)? If so, the raid will be steamrolled with questing gear.
Solutions:
- Increase Eternal Palace ilvl rewards to 410/425/440/455
- Increase LFR loot chance by 25%
- Balance the raid accordingly (increase damage/hp of mobs by ~10%)
This will encourage the consumption of the newest content rather than remaining in previous content.
Also increase the ilvl of mechagon loot by 10 and hp/damage of mobs by 10%.
