totally! never I think the last time was Bfa heroic warfronts for the awesome sets
apart from this only LFR and I really like it. Also most of the people are actually really nice, only sometimes there are some "i come from heroic and I am pro" people insulting others, really rare. Like... 1 out 20 or rarer.
yeah, i just asked that cause of
„and I don't want to ruin random groups by leaving out of nowhere“
thats really not a needed reason to stay in LFR. it happens as often in PUGs as in LFR. zero clue, what the diffrence here should be. but you sounded like it makes a difference in your mind. and therefore i asked, if you often join PUGs (otherwise you would not said that).
Folks seem to forget why we have so many raid difficulties to begin with.
LFR is there because back when it was normal and heroic only, it was too hard for "A LOT" of the player-base to complete with or without a guild. From there, they made normal really easy, and flexible, and set heroic to 10 players only to try and force some of the player base to the easier content. It didn't work out great, so they found it easier to do the system we have now.
THere is a HUGE variance in the level of skill from players who do LFR to the players who raid Mythic. Then you have to factor into the equation how much time each player has to play the game, and do so while enjoying the raid and seeing all the content the game has to offer.
I think the idea of players playing with NPCs, to carry them through LFR is honestly a fantastic idea, and would fix a lot of the issues that currently plague LFR as a whole. So many folks are 100% worthless in there. Whether it's alts looking for a easy carry so they afk because they feel LFR is beneath them, to players who genuinely have no idea what they're doing, but still want to see the game. This fixes the problem for both groups. Who cares if it gets out gear, the gear is typically worse than World Quest gear, so let it go. Without titanforging being a thing, there is ZERO reason to run LFR ever, unless that is the only way you can see the raid.
Folks have to stop being so mean to each other and acting like elitest. Most of the players that play wow and visit these forums aren't top-tier mythic raiders. I bet most of them can't even clear normal, or heroic. My guild raids heroic one night a week, we have AOTC, then we spend the right of our time doing M+ or PvP. The group we run with have IOs of 2100-2400, so again, none of us are those players either, but slightly above average at best.
i am not sure how your loot distribution looks like or if you ever read a class guide or simmed your character. it sounds like you overestiminate your socket way too much. i cant find any rational reason/situation in my mind, with vault, m+, 230 AH items and Korthia, that would give a reason for wearing an LFR helmet.
i do HC pugs and a lot of M+ on 3 chars every week and i inspect everyone (my small side hobby in wow). means: i saw A LOT of chracters and their items. and tbh: i didnt saw even 1 person wearing even 1 LFR item when in m+ higher 10-11 or in HC raid. cant remember a single one.
what i often see is some rather low trinket (often the PVP one) on specific specs. but i never saw what you mentioned.
i mean, LFR is 213 (and 220 for the last 2 bosses)? just looked at the stat weights of main stat (int, agi, str) and could not find any class this could hold against Korthia gear. even m+6 drops higher. so i dont get it.
so i am not sure what you are doing there. and if a sim, or guide, or maths would advice to do this. very crazy imo.

I.O BFA Season 3
hey no need to get offensive.
what i exactly see on that picture (since there are just icons) ?
btw: i dont say that this CAN happen. i just said i never saw that. to me its just crazy. but obviously, if you did all right, it CAN happen. just never saw that. i dont say i dont believe you. its just crazy to me, cause i never saw that happen.
whats your overall item level ? so i can rummage a bit around on warcraftlogs if i can find others. just out of pure curiousity. not to proof its wring or false. i believe you.

- is the bonus on helmet ?
- or just 1 socket for bonus ?
- and you not have higher item with frost bonus on it (so you need to compare frost+mainstat against it) ?
- and you have no other item with socket for bonus ?
- whats your other items and gems? its hard to say without knowing your loot distribution
just asking…
if you did that with a „best in bags“ mecahnic it should be true. just saying that a sole look at the unholy bonus itself, without combining other things, can lead to wrong assumptions.
but i dont wanna waste your time. i am just curious.
