Patch stuff/Midnight stuff

[Estradiol]

Hey hey happy people. I know theres a lot of regearing and stuff going on, but has anyone tested the gems and chants yet to see if any of the BiS stuff has changed?

Also......healers level 15+, please queue for TBC dungeons, it is getting lonely in Tirisfal farming for a broom.

I intend to do some indepth testing in the future, but for the purposes of soloing dungeons (both normal and TW, and both at level 11 and level 20) you really want to have https://www.wowhead.com/item=173125/revitalizing-jewel-doublet

There's a whole mess of break points for certain specs and classes that simply cannot be overcome without that additional healing, so this leaves pure F2P out in the cold. Previously certain health recovery enchants, items, and trinkets could cover the healing needed to get past certain fights; but now? No chance. In some cases it's difficult (or impossible) to survive the 10 seconds required for the gem to proc the heal.

Additionally, even if you do have enough sustain to survive a fight; you might be attacking a boss for well over 5 minutes to take it down.

is that gem still unavailable for F2P? or is it possible now with the 50% rep buff?

Pretty sure that the recip costs more than the F2P cap, so unless you're already over... well, I guess there's always the next Welcome Back Weekend!?

Shadowlands timewalking can get you the rep pretty easily, unfortunately the pattern itself is *slightly* more than 1000 gold at max rep.
