In MoP there is supposed to be a legendary which any class / spec can use. It also is supposed to be upgradable each patch within MoP. We should start discussing how to select those that will work on the legendary first.
In the past, we used the criteria below. The following is listed in NO specific order or precidence.
- Who has been and will be around consistently.
- Who will play a given toon all the time so as to take advantage of getting / working on the weapon
- Best for the group in general.
- Who has not had a legendary before.
- Performance, who "plays their toon well"? (this is somewhat but not completely based on the meters)
- Time in the guild or time running with us ala pre guild creation.
Don't forget if we do make good progress, we might be able to work on two legendaries. It's mostly about boss kills or so we have read.
MoP legendary - A few peronsal thoughts:
I am presuming there will be only one person per 10 man raid working on the legendary at a time.
If we presume raid fights will be somewhat like those in Cata, usually the survivability of tanks was not the limiting issue. Moreover, dps and heals was usually the limiting factor. That being the case, getting 1/3 of the healers (usually 3 in a raid) a lengendary first versus 1/5 of the dps (usually 5 in a raid) might be a bigger bang for the buck. This might also get us quicker to two healing something and hence a whole additional dpser would be gained.
There are other ways to look at this but this is my current thoughs. More info might narrow this down a bit, it is better for some classes or roles etc.
Do those that got a legendary recently (myself) get lower priority? I believe just like all Cata gear, legendaries from Cata will be useless in MoP.
