This would be a nice model to keep for 25 mans too, but it may cause problems with guilds who like to reset loot point systems at the beginning of each tier. As far as recolors go, some of them were successful in LK, such as shaman or mage, as you could instantly tell it was heroic gear. Ours was a little too subtle, though. Finally, with the bonus to int for wearing their respective heal types, there wont be any need for moaning when a piece of plate drops, as Priests will only wear cloth, Shamans mail, Druids leather, and Paladins plate. I haven't done the numbers yet, but it seems that the 5% bonus would be much better than downgrading to cloth/mail/leather. With the addition of spirit as our primary stat, all healing rings/trinkets/necks will be useful to all healers anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-28653606148877604362010-11-12T07:42:40.187-08:002010-11-12T07:42:40.187-08:00@spinks:

No one involved in this normal mode raid group has heroic gear, therefore, the relative ilvl of heroic gear is wholly irrelevant to that situation.Kurthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064568916740238502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20292755.post-42749906042272407232010-11-12T05:58:03.330-08:002010-11-12T05:58:03.330-08:00In my opinion, Ulduar got everything exactly right...In my opinion, Ulduar got everything exactly right. Heroic/hard mode should drop one additional piece of unique loot in addition to standard drops.
