Grats! Feels awesome to have a legendary that's actually current
content, I've never been able to dream of that before; they were
something for organised guilds only!

Ouch, that sounds crazy :-/ Hopefully the idiots will get bored soon,
thankfully was none of that when I did those bosses.

Yeah, seen a few serpents and one ox around, no tigers so far (haven't
noticed any cranes other than my own one tbh). Love the impact the
proc makes, I ran a couple of ToT LFRs this morning and it was 7-9% of
my healing done (I'm assuming "Spirit of Chi-Ji" is the resdistribute
overheals to people who need it proc, very useful one!)

Hahaha oops :-D I'm off to have a look around over there myself
shortly, maybe that'll be the one part of the island that's only
slightly overcrowded... :-P
