Patch 3.3

[Wolf]

Ruby Sanctum is good and Halion is a fun fight.

I am getting seriously annoyed at the asshole that's making the calls as far as 10m itemization is concerned. No caster trinket again. I'm stuck with my ilvl200 I've had for a year now, unless I'm willing to PUG a relatively hard instance for a trinket that never drops and roll a 3 against 15 people all below me on recount. Is it so hard to _at least_ make heroic/normal ICC trinkets usable together?

And can I just get annoyed on yet another instance I have to raid every week for no upgrade. I wonder what the thought process looked like: "Caster DPS? Let's put a belt with hit! But there's already a higher ilvl belt available as a badge purchase? No, no, we'll put a second red socket on this one and make it marginally better. We need another item, let's make a caster ring with hit! But that would make it the same ring as the ilvl 277 faction ring that everyone's wearing, only 20ilvls below? It will? Well, too late, I already made my mind up. We done? Let's talk about caster plate, I'm certain that every 10m guild has at least 2 healing paladins."

Yeah, the Ruby Sanctum-10 itemization is useless, and while the Heroic stuff might have a place I imagine that when you're in a position to do it it'll be similarly pointless.

There are three things I'd like out of Ruby Sanctum-25, but they're the same thing pretty much everyone else wants (Ring/Cloak/Bracers) so I'm a bit SOL on that front.

[Wolf]

That's just it, even heroic versions are useless for cloth dps as the items themselves are filling weird roles. I could, conceivably, find a way to use the belt, but that would mean completely working my setup around it. It's just sloppy work is what it is :(

Heroic is easy, he just hits harder from what I could tell. We got him to third phase, but it was getting late so we just killed on normal.

The tanking boots are nice!

[Wolf]

That may be so, but I really thought that someone paid attention and ruby sanctum will fill some gaping holes in ICC 10m itemization - non-hit-non healer off-hand and a second trinket. Not copy/paste items we already have access to.

RS pugs are... entertaining so far. Really exposes the high gearscores who've been carried by their guilds. How can you get a hunter to level 80 and 5800 gearscore and not have a button for Tranq Shot on your bars? 

[caladein]

Because in RS all these people are stuck without two-tiers-worth of damage output and health in an encounter that's tuned roughly the same as ICC.  Add on to that your baseline level of stupid, and you're good to go!

Ruby Sanctum: where pugs will wipe on trash more often then they wipe on bosses in ICC.    I imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth over some of those trash pulls will be truely epic untill people re-discover how to cc and split pulls up properly.

Because my baaaars are so fucking fuuuuuuuuuull.

That said I'm pretty sure my hunter has tranq shot on her bars somewhere. My issue would be remembering wtf the icon looked like and finding it.

[Nevermore]

It dispels a magic effect too so any hunter who pvps should know the icon.

[Sjofn]

But that's the warlock symbol. 

I would totally miss that, as I would be assuming tranquil shot's icon would have an arrow. Like all my other shots.

[Ratman_tf]

So make it in a macro and assign it a different icon.
And the /train emote and a /say "Last stop!"
People love silly macros for common abilities. 

[caladein]

I kind of hate Halion, if only because everything is the same God damn color.

[Simond]

There's a 'phat purpz' joke in there somewhere.
