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

Potg kinda useless in there tho longest fight I've had and won was 90sec hosh, and that's a super long one. Look really cool I agree.

PoTG is for all that recovery mana regeneration after wipes when every single person needs cleric buffs again and there's only 2 clerics because no one wants to park or bring their cleric to VP.

You then click off POTG right before the fight and use HB.

I am confused that most of the responses are for casters. Melee classes benefit in every situation with BiS gear whether its raid group or solo.

Most casters get minimal benefit on raids with BiS gear and really only notice the value of their BiS gear when soloing at the very boundaries of what they can do, by allowing them to live through a situation where they otherwise might die (like druids soloing 22 while my shitty geared shaman is laughing and soloing it with ease).

Give my rogue BIS and my dps will go up probably 20% or more. That is a pretty big deal since that is his one and only job.

Rogues deal damage with or without BIS gear, so with acquiring BIS gear it doesn't really change what they do or capable of doing, they just become slightly more efficient.

There's a big difference in gear making your class slightly more efficient and gear allowing your class to take on encounters it couldn't previously consider.

What'd Stab-bot-ani end up with? Still using Hsagra?

Dozer dagger and Ragebringer

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.]

But, Gatmanno specifically mentioned HP>Mana as being the pivotal difference between a druid that is geared appropriately and inappropriately. What kind of huge difference can this make?

HP and AC from raid gear means a Druid can become not as squishy as your typical cookie cutter EC geared one. Having more HP means when you have a charm break ( which is what all high end solo ing turns into for most ) you won't get waffle stomped into the ground by your hasted pet and can channel a recharm.

I have had to channel recharms while tanking 22 or A4 hobbits countless times and its because of the oodles of extra HP and AC I have from raid gear, I'm able to manage the situation. Without the extra stats, your margin for error shrinks considerably and you have to re-consider even attempting some encounters solo because it basically turns into an RNG crapshoot whether your charm will break or not.

So in a nutshell, a raid geared BIS druid can approach a wide variety of difficult encounters with solo success that a normal druid couldn't even consider as a possibility.

Es legs or robe for free heals, tunare gloves for free DS, epic for dot and snare, SS wrist for extra dot, warden symbol of tunare for root. I'm sure I'm missing stuff

SS BP + Fungi = 30 hp/tick
With manastone that's 10 mana/tick whether sitting or not, thats almost on par with C2
