Per Boss Lock vs Full Raid Lock

[Djeserit]

This is something I don't think people are taking into consideration. Loot locks will likely be on a per boss basis, as all raid lockouts tend to be, meaning you can get x pieces of gear per week for whatever class, where x is the number of bosses in the Tower.

We have been told that the Tower has 4 bosses. That means, most likely, you will be able to get 4 pieces of i80 gear per week. Fully gearing a class in i80 in 3 weeks, providing you focus all of your loot rolls for that particular class.

Is this not fast enough? Seriously?

That depends on how balanced the loot tables are to be honest.

Not really. You can run it as many times as you want until you see the item you want. Just don't roll/pass if it's not something you want/need.



Edit: My post has, for now, been shown to be wrong via translations of Famitsu. That said, people still need to step back and look at the bigger picture: We will have 3 sources of guaranteed loot progression each week in 2.1: CT, Primals, and (increased) Myth. Between these 3, we will be able to gear fairly quickly, for example:

Week 1 - CT: i80 Head, Primal: i90 Ring
Week 2 - CT: i80 Gloves, Primal: i90 Wrist, Myth: i90 Body
Week 3 - CT: i80 Feet, Primal: i90 Ear
Week 4 - CT: i80 Pants, Primal: i90 Neck, Myth: i90 Belt +Ring

Combine with the i90 weapon from extreme primal quest line, and you have ilvl 86.66 in 4 weeks, and all guaranteed to happen as long as you put in the time and effort to get the drop.
