Hi again Hunter,

With T5 armour pieces being a requirement for upgrading to T6, I was hoping that we could get you to consider a fairly sizable increase in the spawn rate for Death Knight and Omadon in T5.  I have 15 toons with Epic 5.0, and have spent countless hours clearing The Abyss in full, as well as hundreds of instances to just kill the triggers for DK and Omadon.  In all of that time, I have been able to get just one of my toons equipped with both shoulders and cloak...

Other random spawns work better because there are 3 times as many trigger mobs in the zone.  Because there are only 5 triggers for DK and Omadon, the spawn rate is extremely low.  There are 2 ways I can see to increase the spawn rate...  Either increase the number of triggers, or increase the likelihood that one of them will spawn.

I am sure that I am not alone in this Smiley

Thanks

/agree

If I remember correctly Hunter usually bumps % chances 2 tiers back so I am guessing hoping that when T7 comes out all the bosses in T5 will get a +% chance to spawn.

If one desired to maintain the current difficulty of T5, an alternative solution to this would be adding the shoulders/cloak as a % chance to drop off of some other bosses. 

Perhaps making White also have an X% chance to drop shoulders or cloak would be a good idea?  As it stands now, I finished 5.0 task on several toons before finishing their 4.5s due to not needing coral and the amount of time it took me to do a 4.5 run.

I'd prefer not to mess with number or chances of spawns, but I could add the loot to another boss like White.

I'll take a look at this issue.

Thanks for the feed back.

Thanks for the update! 

Just to be sure you are aware, I think it would be generally agreed upon that DK/Oma were the major bottlenecks of T5.  This change will significantly decrease the difficulty of obtaining the 5.0 flag.  For reference, this change would probably have cut the time it took me to be 5.0 flagged in half-- yes, DK and Oma were that rare.

I agree... but this change was definitely needed. It will make 5.0 a bit easier but killing all 100 bosses will still take some time for newer players. However, older players with a lot of dps can come back and enjoy the grind again without stressing too much over those 2 HUGE bottlenecks.

Thank you again Hunter.. I can finally get full T5 / T6 on my tanks!  Grin
