Risk vs Reward Per Loot

[Expletus]

Just went over some of the new loot tables of the world bosses. My question is why are some of the pieces flagged with 2 slot 8's. There was a wristband flagged as such, and the stats, double augged would put this item well over the stats of the the powerful armor. I guess what im saying is, what makes the determination what gets two slot 8's compared to a slot 8 and a slot 16 or slot 4? The dracolitch in fear is a tough fight, and the ring he drops is a slot 8 slot 16, yet when you compare the stats to a couple rings from the world bosses it's subpar once it's augged. I guess what im asking is, what is the high end armor set? Why kill fire for the armor sets when you can kill sleepers for better armor (easier mobs). Below are the examples of the wrist.

I'm looking into it now.

But your example is pretty bad, This is not a PoFire vs ST case. It's raiding and get loot every day, whatever you want, or be lucky and get one of these hard to get (due to being competed, being on random timer and so on) wbosses loot. Don't expect to see these uber items daily.

[Expletus]

I understand the point that the spawn time is the major bottle neck with the 25 or 10 percent chance of said item droping, but I don't think they should surpass the loot dropped by mobs that require a fully gear / buffed raid. If they are tier 3 or 2 mobs, you could potentially 1 group them.

I am with you on the the ST/Fire thing, but I would argue that anyone capable of one grouping the tier 2-3 wbosses can 1 group Sleeper and Fire bosses as well. I tried to box Vox last night and got my ass handed to me promptly, she is every bit as hard as the Sleeper and took a couple tries to get her dead.

[Pyronost]

Some of the loot may be just as powerful, or a slight bit more powerful than the loot it was compared to, especially the items with the 10%(5% if you count that there's two items) droprate. It was designed to be as such so these bosses would be sought after. You won't see too often on the server, so that is the justification for the quality tweak. If it's found to be game-breaking (which I severly doubt it is), then it will be edited, I can promise that.
