Default Class(es) that get most/least mileage from BiS

Like the title says, which classes do you think benefit most from "BiS" end game gear. Looking at my necro I can see that of course it would be beneficial to my character, be that while raiding or otherwise, to have an additional 7-900 mana/hp but it actually feels like it equates to not that much. It's maybe 2 extra twitches I could fire off during a hard encounter. Of course resists help to survive AoEs but still... being a purecaster it just doesn't feel that impactful. More of a prestige thing.

Necros probably benefit most from items that give hp regen.

Melees usually benefit the most from items.

Off the top of my head, I’d say there’s no class that’s more than +25% effective with BIS over some random newly 60 with an entry-level raiding kit. It’s more efficient to recruit a new person and get +75% of a person than to make one your old persons +25%. You can see this strategy (zerging) employed by every raiding guild on this server, ever, up until such a time when they get enough +25% people to do encounters with less people. This new strategy is called skill. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I have no frame of reference for other classes, so I can't tell if it's the most, but the power difference between your average compost green-armored pushover and a proper purple, fully clickied up Druid is so vast--both in terms of encounters that can be attempted or meaningfully contributed to, and how much can be contributed--that they may as well be different classes.

Agreed. 4 PoTGs instead of 3.

What's more impactful than gear is a player that actually knows mechanics and their class.

Taking it to the next level is a player that also knows how their class complements/works with other classes in their raid group.

I'll take that player in banded over half the people in BiS.

If your Druid can cast 4 POTGs in a row, you wasted a lot of DKP gearing them extremely wrong. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

lol if your druid has more mana than HP, just lol

I didn't read the OP as talking strictly about raiding. And BIS gear can make an incredibly amount of difference doing other stuff, like powerleveling friends, handling tougher camps with only 1-3 people, being a showoff (tunnelfashion epeen measuring aside, you know it's fun sometimes), etc. I think most of the time it's clickies and procs and worn effects that make the bigger difference, rather than just raw stats, unless maybe you're a pure melee class.

BiS Shaman and Enchanter get the most mileage if you take them out and actually play non-raid content.

Gatmanno just mad he will never be Gatmanno the Pirate. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
