Hmm....I think Warriors are the only ones who need any sort of priority, under any circumstances, on T3 loot...and I'm a Mage myself.

Derail inevitable.

Once we figured out our CC / Kill orders on the living side it only took us about 5 attempts to get that down, then we just needed a couple tries after that for dead side to adjust to the full spawns. Personally, I enjoy the fight a lot, I guess it just sort of clicked for us. Probably would have been a bit harder if we had fewer than 5 priests though.

Well yeah, we have mages, locks and priests with the boots. I didnt mean to imply we gave them to mages only, simply that the cloth drop kept dropping, not the war/rogue one. Heh

4/9 Bonescythe is a big DPS upgrade for your rogues, but realistically mage DPS outperforms them on most fights that matter anyways. It sucks for rogues, but hey, those are the realities of the situation.
You don't need 8 tanks at with 4 piece for 4H by any means. And what fights are you referring to, because I'm certainly not seeing this difference.

What does that have to do with set item distribution?

As far as that goes, Ghoul Skin Tunic and items that fit into that sort of category are fine. Just stay away from the +hit% stuff and we can all be friends.

Where do you find your mages? We have 5-6 rogues pushing 700-760 DPS, and no mages even close, even with the best PvE spec available.

We will probably hit the 4H with about 6 wars in 4+ pieces with our 2 MT's in 6/7. Atm our primary MT is at 6, secondary MT at 4 (he will be up to 6 when the pieces he needs drop). Otherwise we have 2 more wars with 4 now, 1 with 3 and 1 with a single piece. Some pieces have been opened up to rogues but I think the idea is to have at least 6 of them with the 4+ bonus by the twin emps. We should be hitting Gothik and Loetheb harder now that we've got Thaddius figured out and working for us.

The only fights I can think of where Fire mages vastly rape our rogues are Thaddius and Loatheb. Those encounters also are incredibly stacked towards Fire mage victory however.

What does that have to do with set item distribution?
When sets = tokens shared among classes, it blurs the lines between set and x-class item distribution. There is kind of a continuum:

At the "liberalist" end of the spectrum you have the "We don't need class restrictions on loot" camp.

At the "socialist" end of the spectrum you have the "We should distribute loot where it will be used best" camp.

In between we have what I might call the "opportunist camp". Its more like "We don't need restrictions on what my class can bid on - but we do need restrictions on what your class can bid on" camp.

When I see those sorts of ultimatums, it just makes me curious what camp you fell into. It clearly isn't socialist. Is it the liberalist camp or the opportunist camp?

Our three main tanks get priority on T3, then the rogues get a go at it on roughly the same basis as the secondary tanks. DPS warriors got co-priority with the rogues, more or less, on T2.5 in AQ40, so T3 is hands off for them until afterwards.

I think...

Not to derail too much, but... what loot system are you using where (presumably) rogues have been seeing fat days in BWL/AQ40 and warriors are running around in T1 gear and the warriors won't be destroying rogues for T3 purchases until equilibrium is established?

Or are you extending this to "warriors get complete sets, period"?

Not that I have anything meaningful to contribute, simply curious about the scale and details of your question.

If you're going to give priority to an class on cloth drops I'd quite obviously go priest; at least warlocks and mages get doomcaller and enigma :p

Four warriors in 4/9 dreadnaught is when I'd stop defaulting pieces to warriors, beyond that its pretty much overkill even for four horsemen (I guess this depends on the strat you use) and it will make your life easier in many other fights as well. I think after that point your raid will gain more from rogues in BS than more tanks in DN.

That's a good question now that I think about it.

If Wrath drops are bad how are rogues getting the pieces? Do your warriors buy alot of off-spec gear or something? Or are bloodfang drops really bad?

Although deathdealer are guaranteed drops so i'd imagine they have to be getting some?

i didn't think any acct still went for that much anymore. I guess i was wrong. hell, a warrior account on my server with both legendaries, full wrath, exhalted ab/av, 1000's of gold only went for like 1000$.

Tier 3 is in demand heh.

The guy who bought the account sold a rank 14 Orc Warrior in 4/9 DN or something like that.
