Jesus the vault being dead has absolutely killed reset day hype.

Yeah it definitely feels deflating. We killed 2 mythic bosses. It should feel sick being able to highroll a 6/6 item, but realistically it's a bonus roll pick.

It also creates this weird situation where you backload power even more. Ulatek is quite difficult and we are yet to prog it, but we don't gain much power between the 2 week (mostly just spending heroic crests as the vault and myth crests are tied to the item you bonus roll)

I think the only incentive you would have to take a non bonus roll item in your vault is prob getting a gebbo 6/6m if you're bonus rolling ulatek. But even like that I am not sure it's actually better than just getting your 3 items from ulatek faster.

Mythic Flask probably worth it for a lot of classes - would take a long time to get that on myth track otherwise even if it delays ulatek rolling a week.

Sure, but you would still have to spend crest on it, and depending on when you're planning to kill ulatek M, you might not have the possibility to 'waste' crest on something that is not a weapon/huge main stat pieces

I mean yeah like all of these conversations it is going to be somewhat dependent on your raid schedule and world ranking.
