Titan Residuum in Mythic Season 2

Recommended Posts

41270-azerite-residuum-in-patch-81.jpg

Mythic Season 2 is scheduled for January 22 and Thaumaturge Vashreen will be selling ilvl 400 and 415 pieces of Azerite Armor for Titan Residuum that will be significantly more expensive than the current Season 1 gear, according to Game Director Ion Hazzikostas.

Ion today clarified on Twitter that hoarding Titan Residuum before Season 2 isn't really worth it, because instead of resetting the currency, they decided to significantly increase cost of the new Azerite Armor and Season 2 will reward proportionally more Titan Residuum.

For example, scrapping ilvl 415 Azerite Armor rewards 365 Titan Residuum on PTR.

Mythic Season 2 begins on January 22 when Battle of Dazar'alor becomes available. Blizzard is also increasing the difficulty and rewards from dungeons.

Because you know people who actually did the content and worked towards getting ready for season 2 are the literal devil right Ion?

I used to grind and expect to get something from it, but now I know that everyone will get the things I tore my *filtered* for easier and faster anyway.

they should get rid of Ion he's just cancer I swear.

You're an idiot.  What Ion is saying makes perfect sense.  Why would they let you just farm up tons of titan residium and instantly buy a 415 piece of gear when the raid drops.  That just is stupid game development if they did that.

Eeeeeexpected. Cant risk people getting stuff ealier and paying 13€ less

It wasn't meant for you to get 415 gear the second the raid dropped.  Are you dumb?

See, this is actually what I hate. People complain, very angrily, that "gearing is too easy. You get your gear so fast and then you're done and there's nothing to aim for!"

And then they come out like "hey, we're going to make it so people can't just, start the season with raid level gear, and chances are they need to earn their pieces" And people get angry... because they have to put effort into getting their gear and actually play the game? Like can people please make up their mind? Are we mad about being able to buy our gear with currency, or are we mad because they aren't allowing us to instantly buy our gear with currency?

Peopl are getting mad because all collected residium is getting "worthless". I really expected this will happen so i invested my residium to get a small upgrade. This is what everyone else should do. But yes, it feels like a kickass. For already geared people, all the effort is worth nothing. Do you understand now, why people getting upset? Well, i do...

I mean, you're right and I get why people are upset. But it's also kinda on me for thinking people would expect this. And really it should have been expected especially with charts showing how much things were and how much they broke down for

The way he worded it makes it seem like *filtered*. Ill have 900 residuum by the time new raid opens. that means ill only need 300 more to get a 415 piece (unless they changed numbers) so yeah if you've been saving it should be worth it. You wont be decked out in full 415s (but really who expected that) but instead of waiting 2 weeks to buy a 415 maybe youre waiting 1 week instead which imo is worth all the saving. This is all with the hopes that the numbers are the same as they were when we first saw them.

 

(Really? We filter stuff now?)

The thing is we totally expected this, and I didn't save, I just used it as it came if I needed to, but just because we expect this behaviour from Blizzard doesn't mean we approve of it or think its good design. Of course we shouldn't expect to get fully geared when the content comes out, but effort should be rewarded and currently it feels like very much "lol how about no." from Blizzard on that topic. Gear resets, titanforging, etc. None of it gives you a real sense of advancement, its just ticking a box and in a few months anyone can face roll to get the same thing, so why really bother?

The game has worked like this since gear catch-ups were introduced mid vanilla.

How World of Warcraft progression works:

1) You get ready for a (raid / dungeon / pvp) tier by having done previous tier raid / dungeon / pvp OR if you were not around, through quick gear catch-up mechanics ONCE THE NEW TIER arrives.

2) You use this gear to progress through the new content, while the previous content is now useless outside cosmetic value.

3) Repeat every ~6 months.

Kind of curious on how much more expensive the 400 and 415 pieces will be....Not because I immediately want to get those pieces right off the bat but to give me an idea on how much I will need to grind due to my lack of RNG.

Haven't really bought anything with my TR and just have been scrapping and saving since it was introduced.

They have been saying, for quite some time, that new pieces would be significantly more. This isn't new information. I would have never expected to be decked out in 415 when it drops. It boggles my mind that anyone else would have expected it. Some people will be a week or two away from being able to buy one piece, and that is way better than having to wait on RNGesus for all three. People have become complacent and expect everything to be handed to them these days. Can't wait for classic.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
