Quote:My point was though would you give up your spot on item list for it knowing that you'll now be back of the line for a Medallion of Steadfast Might or a Heavy Dark Iron ring? Or will you spend DKP on it knowing that you lost your shot at Breastplate of Might?
Drillborer is not a bad shield (I have it and love it), but in a world of DKP and lists and such I see it getting left on the side now even more than it did because of what you could get from ZG or AQ20.
These concerns are one of the reasons I don't like DKP systems. It doesn't help a raid if a person is intentionally gimping themselves even just a little because they're always waiting for that big item just out of reach. My guild uses a very effective loot council and when they make loot decisions, they know when to discount something that's only a small improvement.
