I have to agree with most of the people who are saying both not to do savage if you don't enjoy it and that BiS is unnecessary unless you are doing savage. Because both of those are right.

You can grind standard duties for tome gear. When the next alliance raid releases, you'll have the ability to upgrade said tome gear. Usually the savage raids offer gear that is a measley 5-10 ilvls higher than the current tome gear (which is questionable once said gear is augmentable) and possibly with slightly better stat weights. The effect of which is negligible in standard duties unless you're a regular parser and honestly unless the party is struggling, why even do that at all?

If you want BiS then you have to be prepared to do the work. That's for any game, not just this one. Otherwise the game is pretty generous with what it offers people (like me) who chose not to do savage as far as gear is concerned.

I mean, i get it if you're going for glams but as someone mentioned its best to do that either at the end of the expansion or at the start of a new one when its unsyncable.
