Any DPS warriors who can give me some advice on the rotation? Most likely playing Arms as I used that during leveling too.

I've read the Wowhead guide already but it didn't really have a clear rotation.
 
So I haven't really played properly since wotlk, is it me or does the new talent system suck balls?

I get that they wanted to simplify and condense things, while also removing talents that we're practically obligatory. But it seems like all the new stuff is situational at best or often times down right meaningless. Entire tiers are dedicated to skills or upgrades that could only possibly be useful in pvp. Which is a giant fucking waste when you don't use that particular spec in pvp.

They're almost all useful. Also, situational was kinda what they were going for, ideally you're supposed to switch depending of the encounter. (not required however, but it often helps).
 
Anyone who logs in right now or goes back to there garrison you will receive a Molten Corgi with a 10th Anniversary achievement! :D Also special Molten Core level 100 40 man run and Southshore vs Tarren Mill 100 vs 100 pvp. Also Baron Geddon drops mount for everyone a Molten Core Hound mount. Gonna level up my warrior asap to 100.
 
I havent played since WOTS really, I bought Cataclysm but stopped playing in some underwater world that was fucked up at level 80. I did a free trial of Pandaria but that didn't click either.

I want to roll a new character, not play with my old druid from 2005.

Whats the current FOTM?
 
Really tempted to come back again..
How is death knight? Is it viable for tanking raid?
Or should i go with priest?

Only played till frozen throne, is it true that mount are account wide? Does my mount on alliance unlock for my horde character?
 
Is it just me or are Holy Priests pretty easy to heal with in Heroics? I've heard of other healers struggling, but I am rocking it rather easily, and I am using the single target CHakra too boot.

Most boss fights I have 50% or more mana left and everyone alive. I mean, obviously I think I'm a pretty good player ,but this just can't be me right?
 
I'm getting a feel for my Arms warrior again, though I miss Overpower alot. Especially versus rogues and druids in PvP combat, but also in PvE. Whirlwinding a single target just doesn't feel right.

On the other hand, I do pretty good dps I think (45k AoE, 25k burst, 14 or 15k on longer fights) so I can't complain.

Finally redubbed yesterday. Is it me or does every xpac up the bloom/glow by 900%. Its crazy glow-y.

Enh seems a bit eh at the moment. Will hit 100 to see the QQ everyone is doing on the official forums. I'd hate to shelf my main and I'm not a min/max kind of guy but if Enh is not viable I'll have to level one of my alts. I dint want to be thr guy that cant put out enougb to help a group. I have a priest at 90 waiting just in case.
 
So bodyguards work in parties and raids, as long as they're open world in Draenor.

So next time you hit a Draenor world boss or do your daily...take along a level 100 ranged or healer bodyguard.
 
Is Friday morning maintenance normal?

I thought it was Tues morning?
There has been either maintenance or rolling restarts for the last two weeks.

Once they figure out all the current problems, they will return to the regular schedule. In EU, the scheduled maintenance time is on Wednesday morning.
 
Unless that one item that drops isn't usable by anyone in the group.

That shouldn't be that common in the new loot paradigm. And is that any worse than no item dropping, perception aside?

I am curious about the relative roll chances for each method. With NbG, you're guaranteed a drop - but it might not suit everyone - but you can guarantee it goes to the right person. With Personal loot, you're guaranteed a chance at a drop that suits you, but you can't guarantee it goes to

It's trading off the ability to control who gets a drop for the ability to guarantee an appropriate drop.

I think the error of judgement, here, is that the former ability is of most use to groups who trust one another, particularly if they've already filled a number of slots with appropriate gear and they're looking for the last few pieces; it lowers the risk of the *wrong* person getting the *right* item for another. Groups who don't trust one another - which many people feel might be the case for DF - would perhaps be better for Personal loot, but they don't have the ability to choose.

I don't particularly mind either way, but I think it's an interesting question to juggle the numbers for. I wonder what Blizzard are balancing around? My gut says something like 0.8 usable slots filled per boss kill at this stage.
 
Yeah that's what I figured. Annoying because this morning is the only time I'll have to play all weekend and I was hoping to push to 100.

Oh well, Monday it is.
 
I see they still haven't fixed the bug (or at least the one I've been having) where you can only queue for random dungeons in the garrison without it telling you that you don't have a role.
 
This explains it decently.
Mostly just use Colossal Smash properly and keep rend up. Make sure you have Sudden Death.

Only thing I'm confused at here is @ "Use Storm Bolt Icon Storm Bolt or Dragon Roar Icon Dragon Roar (depending on your choice) if you have less than 90 Rage."

Why less than 90 rage? So you can't use it when you have more than 90 rage? Same goes for the 70 rage stuff.
 
Been jumping in and out of ashran since the hotfix, seems like its imposable to win now, had 100 horde vs 20 alliance and alliance could still defend the last point

Yeah I've noticed this as well. Ashran seems very difficult to 'win' even with some outnumbering going on.

The new talent system is basically useless. It removes any real steady progress reward for leveling and as mentioned, are very situational. Often times, you could forget to fully spec your talent tree and not notice or really be impacted by it. It might as well not exist and be replaced with subclasses.
 
trying to tank for the first time with my monk, found this macro but it doesnt work for me:

#showtooltip
/cast [nomod] Provoke
/target [mod:shift] Black Ox Statue
/cast [mod:shift] Provoke
/cast [mod:ctrl] Leer of the Ox

all it does it cast provoke on my target, when i hold down shift + macro button it doesnt throw down the black ox statue.
 
Blegh, hate the loot change. I really hope those crybabies are happy, it's irrational to think the NBG system is better, there was no loot fighting and it seemed to me there were more drops over all on personal loot. Now I have to fight every tank on a shield or bonus armor drop on my gladiator warrior, or if a two hander drops and I had my loot specialization set to arms I have to fight another dps on it even though I'm actively dpsing as gladiator stance. Already had a nice shield drop and had to compete with a tank.

Yes mounts are account wide. I switched from Alliance to Horde a few months ago and all my mounts work cross faction.

Haven't played much with DK tanks since the xpac, but druid tanks seem OP right now. If you are talking about priest as heals, Holy is performing well currently.
 
Only thing I'm confused at here is @ "Use Storm Bolt Icon Storm Bolt or Dragon Roar Icon Dragon Roar (depending on your choice) if you have less than 90 Rage."

Why less than 90 rage? So you can't use it when you have more than 90 rage? Same goes for the 70 rage stuff.

Those abilities trigger the gcd, so you can get rage capped before you can use another ability.
 
Sure glad that Need Before Greed is back. Otherwise my warlock might have gotten a heroic warforged damage trinket instead of it going to the shaman healer.

Because if you have more than 90 rage you are or almost are rage capped, meaning you want to dump rage ASAP to trade it for damage.

Oh, thanks! Now I understand :)

I was looking at fury too, but that spec looks less interesting to me.

Is recount still the best DPS meter, btw?

If you're not a min/max kind of guy, everything is viable.
 
They should just give Hydraxian Waterlords exalted people the corehound mount for free.

We suffered enough

Yeah, I kind of feel that way after wiping for hours on fucking MC trash and then just before Ragna everyone got kicked out of the instance. What a huge waste of time.

I can't believe they reverted the loot system too, personal loot was awesome imo.
