That seems like a good change? Because the two major complaints about the Mark The Tank mechanic have been "it keeps falling off, WHY" and "it's hard to see if it's still up or not" and this fixes #1.
It can also be extremely difficult to reapply the mark if tank is in the middle of a big heap of mobs and dps.
With this change the mark should be fairly reliable(unless you or tank dies, but you'll notice that), so there should no longer BE that much need to see the mark. You should be able to assume that the mark is where you last set it.
I agree that the visibility of the mark should be better though.
I can use my mount out of combat and I get on it
in combat if I hit my mount it does it's combat thing.
so...
What if tab marked your healing target out of combat (at start of dungeon, in ToMM antechamber, etc.)
In combat tab would be locked from changing target but it would never fall of and switch to someone else?
Clearly this can be done, as it works this way with mounts...
pro:
those aborted/short heals wouldn't switch target
dps in front of marked wouldn't switch target
I wouldn't spend the 3 seconds holding down tab to accidentally heal myself (which is a waste of time and divinity in combat)
con:
I can't switch to another target if they get aggro (but that can be tricky to do in current situation anyway)
If my marked is permanently dead I can't remark (but again, if this happens it is probably a wipe situation...)

Nope nope nope, with duo tank i switch marks depending on the agro, even though its a pain in the back. I always target the tank when tabbing just to be sure, and try to always have clear vision on him
Indeed. Prior to today I had used 120 maps here with no drops, and 500 maps on Preview, which made me guess the weapon drop rate was around 1%.
Today I used 80 maps, and got 3 mainhands and 7 offhands - a 12.5% rate ...
That's a bit extreme, but somehow not surprising. But really ... I had expected the drop rate to be increasrd to 2-3%, maybe 5%, but 10% or higher? That's nuts. People will get the weapons after one hour of farming maps and then just get bored....why do you always have to go from one extreme to another?
I'm a bit confused about "Treasure map rewards no longer have a chance to fail to give gear when they should. Gear granted by these rewards should now consistently be for the class of the player who loots them."
I opned a total of 620 maps before today, and never saw a piece of gear for the wrong class. All the complaints about "wrong class gear" were about the transmutes from Alyssa's box....and that has not been fixed. Why ignore a problem people are complaining about and "fix" a similar problem that nobody seems to have run into?
It is a fine line between too much and not enough. Maybe they are making up for lost time? I still don't plan on chasing down new weapons at this point. I am going to continue playing catch up on some old campaigns. Going outside to burn some burgers!
Have fun!
Or, some get 30+ maps per hour, while some one or two. Or like x10+ offhands, no main.
There must be something more in "formula", not only rng. 12.5% rate ? Lol. I wish that kind of luck
Last 25 chests I opened, only gems, scraps and pants. No weapon at all. It's more like 0%.
haha! I wish... I farmed as much as I could on the weekend, only to get one, thats right, ONE mainhand weapon, no offhand. I got lots of pants though.

From a different thread: Now those numbers mean a drop rate of 18.3%. I do not think the actual drop rate is quite that high, but still...I just wish thay had set it to like 5% in the beginning, which would have meant an average of needing 60 maps to get a set.
Ah, well...at least people are getting their Legion set now....and now we can just wait for the IL 1250 "Blessed" set to show up, and wonder what kind of RNG walls will be put up around that.
