The whole vault of the artificers pack was borked from the start. It is MOAR borked now.
To wit -
If I want to make an item I need to -
1) Go to the AH and buy an alchemical blank or bum one off a guildie since no one wants to run MA anymore
2) Scrounge up a group to run MA if I can't find one or don't have a large chain or bone to trade for one since they are so near worthless unless we are talking wraps
3) Go run LoB on heroic NORMAL a bunch of times to get khyber binding fragments or luck out on an empty
4) Go run LoB on heroic HARD a bunch of times to get refined binding fragments or luck out on an empty
5) Go hardcore and run LoB epic elite to get exquisite fragments and spirits OR run a mix of epic hard and normal.
Once capped why in the world would I want to run a quest on heroic normal just to craft an alchemical item? They are pretty meh to begin with and now they are extra annoying to make.
Please DEVS -
1) Add some +3/+4 tomes to these raids - this is not a new suggestion and it makes sense. These are the same level as ToD. Make people want to run these.
2) Add new loot like you did for VoD and HoX. Artificer specific loot in only one raid was silly. Throw in some Cannith forged weapons, armor, shields, undies. Whatever it is make people actually want to run these raids.
3) Add empty khyber binding shards and empty refined khyber shards & refined spirits to the loot table on elite. Make it only part of the optional chest if you want. Add a new boss for all I care. Just give us a way to get them. There is no reason to force us to run this raid on heroic difficulty. It is like making shroud only drop smalls/mediums/larges on normal/hard/elite. (and yes there would be much rejoicing today, but not as an original design!)
4) Fix itemization. These were marginal to start and extra gimped now. Mystical should get spell casting implement (maybe stacking amount per tier added as mystical). Martial needs a boost too, but I am not a number cruncher to figure it out. Another +w damage on Tier3 might be good enough.
5) Force the DEV who made this pack play only halflings for the rest of his miserable life. Borked from day one and extra borked now....did no one know the change to epic difficulties was coming?
