have had 2 polearms drop and 1 frozen hells drop, the 1st polearm went to a dk that suddenly took a leave of absence and the second went to a brand new dk trial tank. the sword went to a frost dk that quit. Meanwhile im stuck at 10% hit lol. FML
on the bright side, i did manage to snag a TF spark and a feather and 4pc. only 1 more secrets to go for the meta.
with incoming sword of light buff, and meta, and likely the next 2h will be mine, im excited to be topping our guilds meters. Im usually in the top 5 in our current state as is.

Is the normal mode polearm our BiS?
I think frozen hells is better because of the haste, but the polearm would be right up there with it. Obviously normal mode stuff is not our BiS though.
sword = worst and best stat (crit/haste).
polearm = a cappable stat and our middle stat (expertise/mastery).
So close you probably wouldn't notice the difference.
And since they're both on the shared loot table, thus it's best to opt for the first one you can get your hands on.
Whoever thought to put half of the 2handers on shared loot, not to mention make them bis for multiple classes needs to be smacked. hard.
I'm in a similar boat to you, cept on the LFR roster (work graveyards, no want or care for guild dramas, etc).
Yes, but I was more meaning towards the LFR system than Normal/Heroic. I know you guys get the stuff we get in our failbags from Trash.
It's just odd that some of it comes in the bag, while some of it is shard boss loot. Consistency would be nice, and frankly, weapons as "shared loot" is a horrible idea in general. Makes getting a possible upgrade a royal chore...
However, hopefully I see a 516 from Heroic Scenarios in 5.3 quickly (Polearm preferably) with Haste/Mastery, since that will be BiS for me til 5.4 (especially when upgraded to 524, even if I lose out on the extra 320 Haste from the socket, if it won't work on it).

Games are not necessarily "easier" today. You are just a better player.
It takes more now to impress many gamers than it did 2-5 years ago, because so much has already been seen and done.
Many players expect to be wow'd with every release of a beloved franchise.
These are generally NOT the fault of the developers, but the fault of many players over-hyping and/or setting expectations too high.
one of our holy paladins have coined heroic thunderforged bracers with mastery (I think) TWO TIMES IN 2 WEEKS....
Fucking bad system, I'd rather save 10 coins and use them all in one roll (and have a higher chance) instead of one coin at a time... Higher risk Higher reward.

He might've counted previous tiers coins... but yeah I'm in the same boat as him. 18 coins used, 18 x gold received... I would be fine with that if it wasn't for the fact that the only 2 good weps for rets this tier is from shared boss loot... why they'd ever put such important gear pieces like trinkets and weapons on a shared loot table is frustrating... minor pieces like bracers, rings, necks and cloaks... sure... but not weapons or trinkets.

probably just exaggerating out of frustration after getting nothing from 18 coins.
i got the tier helm from 1, but the other 17 coins have been gold.
tell me about it. I got LFR feather and LFR Zermat (council sword). I actually had to get the valor gloves from Celestials because I had the hit gloves from LFR MsV. I've now got my hit and expertise caps, but only because I used a haste/stam gem in my helm.

Amazing how much heroic feather, weapon and 4pc can do for you. 152k dps with just 524ilvl. Too bad we still do private logs (((
Should Speed of Light for those tornadoes. I find it to be full of much win. Can focus more on DPSing while running at those kinds of speeds through the tornadoes with the odd judgment and such still firing at the boss. Of course it would be nice to just get Stampeding Roar each time but the druids in my guild are, shall we say, not as reliable as I would like. If you want something done right, do it yourself
Fuck that bubble and walk right through it then spin and start chaining wraths from symbiosis like a boss. You should get 7 ish casts off jaja.
