In all aspect heirloom gear was the worst thing wow ever did. so now because of them pushing people in to end game raids and shoveling it down their throats getting players in to that mindset they now have to offer players insta max character with a quick 5 min over view of your character. remember true tier talent trees from LK where you could have kick-ass hybrids and w/e option. ya they dumb down the game so much b/c of all this its now you leveled ding! pick 1 of these skills and 1 of these skills cuz you dinged again. Sad really when a game has to scale down to accommodate the unthinking player, sorry getting off topic. anyways w/e date down the line I still feel heirlooms are just bad overall
