People commonly handed out loot in loot council guilds based on performance and attendance, damage meters were part of that process then, and will be part of that decision making process now. Damage meters were available incredibly early in Vanilla 15 years ago, and this is just an extension of them. Not advising that every caster farm flask of supreme power for Molten Core, but the difference between someone with and without is enormous.Īt the end of the day it's just logs. Depending on the tier in Vanilla, the difference between somebody without consumables, and somebody with consumables could be 40-50%+. If you're lazy and don't want to pot twice, use a flask, or use food on the live version of the game you might at best lose out on 5-6% of your damage. This isn't to shit on Vanilla (quite the opposite), but the biggest difference between players is generally effort put forth on the consumable front. Logs are only as valuable as the person using them, and if you actually enjoy playing with the people you're playing with, it's pretty simple to correct behavior and effectively make it so loot distribution largely doesn't matter. Not much else.Most rotations in Vanilla aren't too intricate enough to cause massive discrepancies in player DPS. It will mostly be a 'look how big my dick is' tool for those that are in good favor and popular with thier loot council. But to each their own, and good luck on the way.Your right. It really is about the journey, not the destination. Of course this is just my opinion, but I think people bringing that mindset into Classic are playing the wrong game. They’ll be lucky to get 40 in the door.īelow average and/or casual guilds won’t be helped or need the logs, and will have similar issues as the average and good guilds, gear and attendance will be bigger problems. Good guilds that are striving for ASAP clears will find gear a much bigger roadblock than whether specific raiders do X damage or handle Y mechanic.Īverage guilds who are pushing progression will have a harder time fielding 40 people, and thus can’t afford to nitpick about performance. I guess I don’t see the point I fail to see the type of guild that will find this useful:Įxtremely competent world first types will roll through these raids without breaking a sweat.
