You're making a foolish argument that basically says 'You shouldn't prepare for anything because you don't know if you needed to prepare until afterwards. But when all the week 1 discussions were dominated by people talking about the impact of splits and what Blizzard should do about it, I'm just here pointing out that in week 2, and especially if we do go to a 3rd week, that the splits become less and less relevant and it's not this big deal for the health of the game like people made it out to be.ĭid you watch any of the race? Did you see Liquids smolderon kill? They killed it after the enrage, with only the tank alive. As far as I'm concerned, if they want to spend the time doing it, fine, do it. To be clear, I don't care whether or not RWF do splits.

I mean how would they have known if it was or was not worth doing before doing it? If it turns out that it wasn't worth it they can't exactly go back in time and undo the splits can they? So the fact that they did do it this time is not proof that it was worth it this time.Īnd obviously they're not going to replace split gear with the same gear when it drops again in a reclear, my question was if they hadn't done splits at all, how many empty slots would be left after reclears? They could have started the splits in week 2 and it would be much easier to fill those empty slots rather than grinding out a full set in week 1. And they are still wearing week 1 split gear. They did heroic reclears and mythic reclears.

Tindral, on the other hand, will not be trivialized by an extra reset of gear - though it will be easier than it was last reset! Primarily, this will be because of extra Stamina (which is maybe cancelled out by the removal of Vantus Runes), and extra damage on the roots allowing them to be broken faster and lowering the difficulty of some of the worst mechanical overlaps.

Today's RWF Recap video focuses on the weekly reset, which has hit Liquid already and will hit Echo once they wake up in a few hours! Liquid have made short work of their reclear and have gotten back to Tindral, with Echo and other RWF guilds expected to also face low resistance from the first 7 bosses on reclear due to their increased item level and the fact that the most difficult among those fights, Smolderon, is massively easier for guilds that have already killed it once they get more gear and can now kill again on a much less clean pull.
