How many weeks has patch 4.3 been out? About ten? LFR was and is all about accessible raiding and oh boy did all my alts feel the love, especially my healers!
I shall reiterate here that LFR works great with my broken schedule and our guild's once a week raid times (and one session of "real" stuff a week is good enough for me).
I'm going to take a look at each of my toons and see:
1. How many LFR bosses they have downed. (# In boss order)
2. How much loot they have hoarded into their greedy greedy vaults.
Turby - Hunter
1. (5,6,5,5,7,6,6,6) for a total of 46. Poor Ultraxion.
2. Helm, Chest, Gloves, Legs, Trinket, Kiril, Vishanka
Can't complain here, I'm pretty much "done" the game save for our regular DS runs.
Truny - Warlock
1. (5,5,5,5,4,3,3,5) for a total of 35.
2. Helm, Shoulders, Gloves, Legs, Trinket, Bracers
Still need to get super lucky with a weapon drop! And perhaps finishing off the T13 4P!
Turny - Druid
1. (5,4,7,8,3,3,4,4) for a total of 38. I stopped queueing for DW cause I have all the weapons. And I tend to queue for Hagara for easy VP.
2. Helm, Gloves, Heal Trinket, Ti'tahk, Maw of the Dragonlord
Since I have both the cool weapons useable by my druid I have stopped queueing into LFR despite not having any tier gear. My reasoning is that the druid T4 bonus is kinda crappy. The extended hots are kinda nice but our heals USED to last even longer anyways. Though the quick queues are super awesome and this is a great "live" training dummy to practise boomkining.
Klupty - DK
1. (2,2,2,2,2,2,3,5) for a total of 20.
2. DPS Bracers. (Leg tier given away, Soulsipper given away).
Can you tell I dont like playing my DK but I like playing it at the same time? It's totally not worth having to play melee and I have yet to win Soulsipper/Gurthalak after that one miracle win. Klupty tends to have horrible luck, and he tends to be in the LFR Law groups where the afk people win everything (which doesn't matter on my other toons cause being ranged is FUN!) I have also decided to level a Fury warrior, which I find more fun than frost to go crazy on Melee weapons.
Truby - Paladin
1. (1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2) for a total of 12.
2. Shoulders, Str Trinket, Dps Ring
Not bad for having only been there about 1.5 times. I'm still stuck as Ret, too lazy to respec to holy, but blah I already have a druid heals. Watch, if I queue in again I'll end up winning stuff that I don't even want to use (then why roll need??)
Husbrus - Priest
1. (1,1,2,3,0,0,0,2) for a total of 9.
2. Robe, Heal Trinket (Ti'tahk given away)
Screw my priest, druid heals RULES! *Explosion of glitter and rainbows*
Grand Total
1. 160 Boss Kills or 20 full raid runs!
2. 24 item drops or a 15% success rate!
This compared to my 12 total boss kills in regular DS and 0 drops and a couple epic gems and some green gems. See the difference?
So in conclusion, druids rule!!

Basic Laws of LFR
Don't mind me I am just here to vent my bitterness for this week's LFR Adventures.
As LFR is in a different realm than "normal" raiding, I will place it in the same dimension as LFD and this means anonymity and also the Loot Laws take effect.
The general rule is: The lower your performance relative to others, the higher chance of you winning items that you are not able to utilize properly. I have come to the point of not even looking in my bags after rolling for items but rather I would first check my little recount box and immediately scroll down to the bottom to see which people are at the bottom of the dps list. (I keep it scrolled down when I'm on my Pally sadly). Usually the bottom 4 will have won everything. Then I will tab over to the healing list and look at who was afk healing, and they usually win all the stuff, most likely for an offspec at that.
Here are just some of my personal experiences with this law taking effect. And the exceptions to prove just how crazy I am.
1. Deathwing. Warrior. 16th place in DPS. Wins both Gurthalak, Voice of the Deeps. He did 19k.
2. Deathwing. I rolled the highest roll for Souldrinker, however someone else tied me. Of course, they won since they did less damage than my ret paladin.
3. Deathwing. I was Feral Druid spec on Deathwing, Ti'tahk drops, I roll. I am specced for tanking, not kitty I was #13 on dps. Guess who won? I did. (I kept it and used it as boomkin for a while)
4. My hunter's chest, arms, ring, trinket, and weapon pieces were not actually won by me but my other hunter friend who does significantly less damage than me won them all for me. He usually ranked 10-14.
Exceptions.
Now of course I am just being bitter for not winning EVERYTHING EVERY time I am one of my many toons but the rule tends to hold true for low performers. However there's always the scary exceptions and those always feel awesome.
1. First time in LFR I won both my Helm and Legs. Not exactly which 2 but 2P T13 on one boss. However this was in the glory weeks when LFR was fresh and new and bitter-free.
2. I won Souldrinker on my DK but gave it away because DPS DK is silly.
3. I won Maw of the Dragonlord on my druid and he's using it to good effect even right now.
4. My priest won Ti'tahk Steps of Time yesterday but I gave it away as I never play my priest and Shadow is just silly.
What Am I Really Trying to Say?
LFR is a great tool, especially for people like me who have many toons and only do "real" raiding once a week on one toon and even then that once a week is tentative due to real life schedules trumping sitting in front of Deathwing's minions. Also it looks like the best way to win loot is to underperform...is Blizzard trying to tell us something here?
