We consider your highest armor value armor class to be your "main" armor class. So in this situation, he would have rolled last, if at all. Loot council takes a long time, but we found it to be the most beneficial. We actually started allowing the entire raid in on it, and that has helped a lot. It's not perfect, and there are times where you really do have to "bitch" to be heard, but in the long run it works the best, and it keeps people happier because they understand why this did/didn't get loot.

Most of these ideas could be spells cast in the same manner or specific buffs that would work just like PW:S. Dual cooldown, so as to not abuse them and more then likely these effects would be talented. I meant the damage reduction would stack up to 4 times for a total of 8% damage reduction to the target and 50% reduced healing by the priest. It would likely have to be reduced in case of this buff stacking, in retrospect for balance, to 1% damage reduction, stacks up to 3 times. That way multiple priests could stack the buff. Frnit,

Prayer of surge of light sounds bit.. complicated, Rather have it Prayer of surging light imo. Would you mean them as additional spells to be casted or some sort of effects to spells? Moreso, would Prayer of Protection stack like 50%/25%/12.5%/6.25% healing done (healing * (1/2)^4) or like 50%/100%/150%/200% healing reduced? Would 200% healing reducing mean that your GHeal takes 10k health off the target? All in all, interesting indeed. Tbh, sounds pretty interesting.

Instead the zone has several versions, like instances. When you complete some quests your character moves from one version to the next. This new mechanism is used extensively in Northrend.
