I'm actually a fan of the gearing changes to heroic raid. But somethings got to give for mythic plus.

I have definitely wasted crests this season. Like I do every season on my main. I'm sitting crest capped with a mythic piece every week from reroll or vault at about 323.2 il.

The top mplus runners are 10 il higher than me through nothing more that just being able to do mythic raid.

I don't know the perfect solution nor do I have one but a 10 il difference seems extreme for week 5
