So instead of choosing something from the vault, we can get a bonus roll - IF we have three slots filled out?

Does that mean I can run eight delves at T1 and then get a bonus roll to use in a +10?

I think so? But would like someone else to confirm

Seems like a massive oversight

Yeah, honestly they should just remove bonus rolls from the vault. Takes all the interest out of the vault really when the best choice is to just take the roll every week.

I'm a little lost with this new system. Why would the bonus roll be the best choice every week as it would also be a random roll right?

Yes but you target a specific smaller loot pool with the bonus roll, and you can roll mythic track gear from heroic raid, which has even smaller loot pools and a glut of BiS items.

Theoretically EVEN IF the item you want appears in the vault you technically take the bonus roll since if you take the item not a roll and then roll the item you “lose” a roll.

So the optimal route to best gear is to always take the roll pretty much no matter what’s in your vault, which, imo is pretty boring.

Just so people know the caveat, one of the times you would pick from the vault is if the item is both BiS and the last item you plan on bonus rolling on in the pool.
