On x5, world bosses and their surroundings are farmed faster and contested less — agree with your raid lead in advance on spawn timing and loot priority for [Puissant Cape].
Who needs it
Warriors, rogues and hunters value this cloak: +1% hit is especially important at raid start, when every melee is short on the chance to hit level-63 bosses.
Farming on x5
World bosses in WoW Vanilla stand in the open world, so the key to looting is organization: form a raid, reach the spawn first and burst the boss down. On x5 respawns and prep are faster than on classic, so the window for Puissant Cape opens more often.
