sooo how do you guys survive the artefact grind every day in a sane state of mind ?
Pretty much this when it comes to any grind, whether it be for AP, some Rare Pet/Mount, Reputation at 150 rep per week, etc.They probably don't. Just dead inside.

I don't care about it at all. Getting to Rank 14 with just the quests / treasures is enough for me. All I do now is the class hall stuff for +150 / 165 ap here and there. I like to play the game, not wasting time to increase performance a little bit which would take up most of the time while I normally just have played the "real" game during it.sooo how do you guys survive the artefact grind every day in a sane state of mind ?
It is mandatory if boomkin is your mainspec and you want to get the most out of your character. Replacing the artifact with that 2H mace will lose you the AF ability (which seems important for Balance) and many traits which are multiplicative on your damage output.Boomkin here, bought an 840 Athrog's Mace, boom, AP grinding is not mandatory anymore for me.
If only I had a stealth class! Haha guess I have a 100 rogue waiting in the wings with leg ringPlay a stealth class / get always on top maker if you don't have a second monitor and watch something while farming. (i just finished watching winds of war / war & remembrance that's about 60 hours of great entertainment). Oh and teaming up with other players makes it easier to endure.
Hey, I've looked at your profile and I was wondering, would you favor for example, an 840 with a socket over an 845 without one ? What would be your minimum ilvl difference to prefer one over the other ?It's a long road, but will be so with it in the end.

I did 2 sets of sims using the most geared boomkin in the armory list with an 860 mace, these were the results:
Sustained (3-5 mins): 302.5k (AF) vs 230.9k (Mace) = 71.6k (23.6%) dps loss
Burst (30 secs): 522.3k (AF) vs 415.3k (Mace) = 107k (20.4%) dps loss
