about ZA = T(?)
I'm having an ongoing argument with my friend. He has raided Zul'aman many more times than I have, so I can say he has more experience with it than I do. However, he's convinced that ZA's gear is equivalent to Karazhan. I 'm pretty sure its loot is in between that of SSC + eye and BT / Hyjal.
Difficulty looking something like this..
(Kara / Gruuls)
SSC_TK
ZA
BT/ Hyjal
SWP
I can understand a little "sway", taking into consideration ZA is relatively easy to manage with 10 people rather than 25, but I've noticed loot such as [Jin'rohk, The Great Apocalypse] looks just like S3, which in turn, is the PvP equivalent of T6, which partially agrees with my idea of how ZA = T5.5 (ish)ZA's loot is mostly ilevel 128, with a few pieces (timed chests) containing items up to ilevel 141.
Kara loot is ilevel 115, with Prince Malchezaar containing ilevel 125.
Gruul's and Mag's have ilevel 125 loot.
TK: The Eye loot is ilevel 128, with some Kael loot at 141 or 138.
SSC loot is ilevel 128, with, again, some items being ilevel 141 or lower.
So ZA is easily a T5 instance.T4.5 something for just after kara. Some ring, trinket, and shield filler's.
The big upgrades in there are for plate dps wearer's.
If your a feral druid the place sucks for any sort of upgrade.
The leather items are lackluster for rogues.
Some good weapons and helm for caster dps.
I was a feral tank (Mostly feral brutal and T4/T5) and pre-patch I hated going in ZA. I could always expect a wipefest on the 4th timer. There was no upgrade for me, but I kept getting dragged along because the guild needed a feral tank for Halazzi. After patch 3.0.2 its alot better. The guild can do ZA in under an Hour and get all 26 badges.
