Pretty much carbon copy of the few 10's I Twinked back in WotLK. Question, is Blizz not allowing Faction change on Classic? If they are, then the blue Boots from that Ally Quest chain would probably be superior.
Yes the Legion Epics drop and yes they're a STUPID low drop rate. I've gotten several in Legion Zones on my 10's. Full disclosure, I haven't played in a while so I can't say 100% positively that some patch in the past year+ hasn't broken their loot table. Best way to get them is by farming gold...
You could use this anecdote is your answer. In WotLK right after Toravon in VoA came out I ended up solo Healing a 25m as a Druid (after the other Healer died, got rez'd by the 1 Boomy then died again). Were we able to finish the encounter, yes. Would I advise building a solo-heal-every-Raid...
Some Classes it'd be the 3x Socketed 2H from TBC Dungeon most likely. Any Class that can use the no Level Epic Staff, that's BiS. Artys are still going to be BiS for certain Classes due to no other appropriate options.
Is this working after recent patches because I tried everything back when SL was new and once you started ToF Chromie treated you like a leper. Also, Blizz REPEATEDLY stated it was a known bug and they would fix it soon (TM). I see "soon" is their usual BS.
Are you taking into account the bonus scaling that 10's get vs ALL other levels? What you need to do is less "opinion" work and more hard numbers by actually Twinking both levels with the exact same gear and doing DPS/HPS tests. I'll bet you'll find that 10's are superior to 11, in probably all...
Didn't the Dragonflight already give up their power before? So wtf will this XPac be about, a bunch of emo Dragonkin crying about how it used to be in the olden times?
Yes this was tried, also porting the Character off the starting area, trying to jump off (and get ported out), etc. We tried the old dead-following someone else route of 99's to reduce XP as much as possible, still nope.
15 Warrior is crazy fun, stupid dmg and almost unkillable. 15 Mage is great dmg but even with excellent gear is still squishy. I'd imagine a 15 BM Monk would be close to god mode for farming.
On a Boss fight 10 Twinks (even without full Gems like Trinks/Rings/etc) would almost always win, even against BiS 20 Vets. Trash dies so fast that it's a moot question. That said, there will always be that 0.01% 20's that are WTFPWNBBQOMGWHATJUSTHAPPENED and plenty of 10's that have no idea how...
