Suggestion: Make Savage Coil Loot chooseable

Hi Folks, even we cannot enter Savage Coil yet but hopefully soon, I have a suggestion anyways:

With RNGesus slapping his dick in our healer faces (not seen healer body once since 1.5. or healer head since 10.5. or healer bracelet) the following came into my mind:

Make it chooseable what you get from Second Coil Savage Chests. I'm perfectly fine with them dropping the same loot as Second Coil. However, let the party decide which 2 items may be picked from the loot table of the respective turn to conquer some really awful RNGesus fails.

It would be a nice incentive for the dedicated raiders who like to get banged over and over, and it wouln't be such of a free loot pinata handout as the hunt is currently for casuals with all the unlimited sands and oil, as we still have the weekly lockout along with the prerequisite to be able to clear savage, which looks quite hard.

I mean...isn't that essentially what the oils and sand are for? It's another way to choose yourself a 110 gear incase you don't get your needed piece from second coil. Yea if you don't get lucky you likely have to do hunts for them, but such a system that you ask for does exist though obviously it isn't a high allagan piece and may not be the BiS.

Overall out of savage i'd like to see slightly enhanced versions of the normal difficulty gear, 5 ilvls perhaps. This would mean even number patches and odd number would have new BiS lists and drops for raiders to look forward to instead of just 2.0, 2.2, 2.4 etc. The only issues I could see arising out of that however is ilvl overdose and possible imbalances later down the line, they would have to work around the numbers a lot I would imagine.

It is not about getting 110 Gear, it is about getting Coil Gear. That's my point ;)

I get what you're saying, but which would you rather occur: you've cleared heroic boss A in WoW for example so instead of getting heroic gear at random you get your free choice at any normal piece you want from the table, or would you want to get a heroic piece that is better than the normal piece on the table.

It's very very unlikely that SE will do what you suggested because of how the loot system works and reduced longevity of the raid content (thats assuming they add drops to savage coil in the first place). I referenced the oils and sand because the addition of them is a semi solution to your issue that most themepark MMOs do not address at all, raiders getting boned with loot drops. This is likely because most do not consider this an issue.

Well, I see savage Coil as an optional content (like Black Bestia in FFX) for the challenge, not for extra superior loot, because normal Second Coil is hard enough for the majority of the player base. So I'm fine with this. The tiltes are enough to show off :) It is just, I'd like to have the HA Set before 2.4 hits xD

I think it would be a nice incentive that doesn't blatantly reward more for clearing Savage Coil as opposed to regular old SCoB. Given that they're very very unlikely to reward better gear, why not let you choose what drops? Sure it's a significant advantage once you get to the point that you're only missing a few pieces amongst your entire raid, but that's exactly the demographic this content is for, right?

Sounds like a solid compromise between WoW-style gear inflation and nothing but cosmetic titles. I dig it.

I prefer the option where savage coil drops dyeable versions of the high allagan gear personally.

this^ i like this :3

Off topic (as i believe this to be a good trade off reward and with hunts the advantage would be negligible)
