ive not even bothered getting it on my main, I still outheal the other healers (which all have it) knowledge is still better than itemlevel you know, If your 15% dps lower than someone because of the cape, then they are really good, or you are really bad.
You really need to calm down, it's not that big of a deal. Chill.
And to answer your question, yes, I would level an alt now and am currently in the process of doing so, an 86 DK and 41 (I think) Monk. Will I go for the legendary cloak on them? Sure, if I really like the class at level cap and want to play it more. Also, you don't sound very happy for getting your first legendary to be honest, be happy that you have it on one char and see if you can get it on another, there's no need to freak out about it, especially seeing as though you're an 'average player', not a hardcore raider needing the cloak for progression, or whatever.
1 ) not every class can solo warbringers and with so many dead realms out there ( especially low or medium English realms in the EU ) there's not even someone that farms that shit in a group this day and age.
2 ) 5.4 does not makes MoP the instant '' most alt friendly expansion so far '' , you clearly forgot the extremely gated and extremely needed daily grind in 5.0 if you had any ambition of staying / getting on your guilds raid team.
3 ) you clearly forgot the no fly crap till lvl 90 ( since we are talking alt friendly you also gotta include the lvling process )
4 ) The farm doesn't get remotely interesting in the beginning , nor profitable for rep. By the time it does take off any alt will already long be gone from that snoozefest.
5 ) previous expansions had the famous ''rep tabards'' , 5 man dungeons with catch up epics , and you didn't needed a plethora of dailies in the 1st content patch to get you in raid shape, in Cata you only needed Therazane for shoulder enchant and 1 other faction for your head enchant.
I hardly fail to see how Cata was less alt friendly than MoP when it had less/easier rep farm , same faceroll way to catchup gear ( ilvl 378 epic 5 man dungeons vs Timeless Isle tokens ) and it had flying at lvl 80 if you so wished.
it's impossible to switch mains this late in the expac if you haven't been regularly keeping up with the legendary quest on alts
It helps filter the lazy and unwilling from obtaining it.
I mean, anyone can get lucky with a straight RNG drop. But this takes commitment.

If you were truly a good player, you wouldn't need the cloak to down bosses in any difficulty. I don't even USE the legendary healing cloak as a healer because its proc is so shitty for like 90% of the fights in SoO. I use the dps cloak for most of them.
This is literally the most retarded thread I have ever read. Did you even take a step back and read what you wrote before you posted? You sound like some whiny, entitled kid who thinks he should just get anything he wants, whenever he wants.
It's a legendary for a reason. Even though it's widely accessible to far more people than any legendary before it, doesn't mean you should just get one immediately just for picking your fucking nose.
I mean get a grip.

I'm in a heroic raid group and we have had 3 people switch to alts due to change in our roster or various other reasons, and they did fine without the cloak. Certainly fine enough for their dps to not entirely suck without it.
There is no excuse for just being a bad, lazy little shit. That's all this is. Bads whining about how they can't "perform" well in a raid setting without a cloak that was already ridiculously UN-needed in the first place.
See I feel like I'm going crazy because someone was going off on me in a raid saying that you are guaranteed 2 every week if you do the 4 raid wings that drop them, but I've done them for a month and I've only gotten 2 total. So either I'm missing something or I'm going crazy or they are wrong. I even just did this last night before the reset because I was assuming I would get 2 and maybe I just forgot that I didn't do them all the last 3 weeks. Nope...didn't get a single one again. What am I missing?

I remember some pretty crappy players with glaives at lvl 70.... They were purely RNG based in comparison to other items from that tier. I was on a fairly backwater server (no one ever downed KJ pre-nerf) too. My crappy raid guild (hint: our main holy pally socketed all resist gems EVERYWHERE) that was created slightly before ZA came out was raiding black temple. We never downed Illidan, but we were close when the nerf came. TBC was not this amazingly hard raid content like everyone makes it out to be. Todays heroics I would say are harder, or at the very least, on-par with TBCs, with the exception of Kael'thas which was mostly due to his silly 10 minute phase at the start that just meant each attempt took years. I'll probably get flamed for those few sentences, but meh, its the truth.

My God, what a horrible creation. People seeing what they want? Thank God they tried to shy away from that. I know it pisses me off when I'm in an heroic raid, yet in the back of my head all I can think is 'some casual player is playing a heroic dungeon and not wiping.' -Vodkarn
Dude dont complain about it. Just thank blizzard for changing A Test of Valor to three weeks instead of six like the rest of the people who actually got their cloak before that change. A month and a half of valor capping. Yeah, I got my 6k valor right as they change it to three weeks. Just do the quest and stop whining. If you want the cloak, get it. If you dont, then just do LFR like everyone else.
I feel ya - as I'm a casual these days and it's going to take me several months to nab the cloak.... but you know what? That's my choice and NOT a fault of the game or the developer whatsoever! ^_^
You honestly don't need the cloak to do casual things, it's just a bonus. Honestly I'm already thinking of dumping the quest altogether as I'm tired of having those two sigils take up valuable bank slots.
Lei Shen is the last boss in Throne of Thunder and he's guaranteed to drop a runestone every week. Similarly, the Sha of Pride drops a runestone every time. I don't know how you could go three weeks with only two runestones. I've gone weeks where those are the only two that drop, but I've always gotten at least those two. I've also had weeks where I get six drops. RNG is RNG.
Only part of it that's mildly annoying is the Test of Valor. I don't mind the rest. The quest line doesn't feel all that legendary when the objective is to vp cap for a few weeks. Yee-haw, how exciting.
