I'll be running some of these new dungeons tonight. Shoot me a PM if you feel like grouping up.

You on Broxigar or the PvE one? Usually I just go Broxigar for the PTR. I think I'd have to download the whole thing though, but it should let me on even though I don't have an active sub (I think?)
Guess it doesn't really matter anyway since you can just do Real ID (at least temporarily.)
I may or may not be up for it if I can get it to work - certainly over the weekend if it does work for me, probably playing on a premade - my actual characters have outdated gear at this point. I can play nearly any class or role - I know I copied a paladin, mage, and rogue premade (though I'm not sure how to play a rogue well - he's more to test out the legendary questline if they offer that at some point.)
Paladin I'd probably be most comfortable tanking, Mage is lolsworthy, and I could probably copy a healer that I know how to play decently over as well (I did move my Shaman, but he has no gear.)

Also - Priest retrospective up - I like T5 and T6 among a few others. T13, again, is definitely different - I think it's pretty cool.
And the Legendary Dagger Set preview is up as well. Dear god - they are awesome. Stacking agility until you don't need combo points for awhile + increased damage finishers (and wings!).
Amazing.
And the wings do work as a parachute/slow fall! The things will outlive their usefulness as weapons just for that - like how I imagine the staff will be, transforming mount and all.

Not sure how to spec a disc priest, some builds I have looked at seem to suggest not taking archangel and atonement but I thought they were pretty key. Any suggestions?

I don't normally pay attention, but what's the usual time it takes between when a patch is first put on PTR to when it goes live? I'm thinking about 4 weeks? Got my 391 staff last night so anything less than 6 weeks and I won't get the legendary until after 4.3. (Not that big of a deal, though.)
I was not really looking forward to a new tier but some of the screenshots that are showing up are starting to get me interested. Mage set bonuses aren't that interesting in current form, but they seem a little better than the current ones at least.

For a big patch like this? Closer to 2-3 months. Not everything is implemented yet, and they have dungeons/raid + other major things to test.
Once they start slowing down the amount of changes to the PTR, then it's usually 4 weeks or less until it goes to Live.

PvE. I used my current characters as their iLvl is 366 and 371 (without PvP gear).
Probably the best looking chest in the game since they are limited to flat textures.Einchy said:New Pally PVP gear.

Warriors will finally not have some horrible tincan gear.
The rest of the pvp sets:

Hunter looks pretty nice too. Overall, lots of awesome armor art coming with this patch.

I really think when they decided to bring in a new art director for the armor sets that it occurred partway through.
Half of the armor looks quite good with thicker, more disciplined detailing the other half is the same overwrought, eye-searingly colorful mess of random details that the game has struggled with for a little while.

I couldnt play on tuesday and my guild oneshotted the whole FL instance
So I pugged it last night
composed of 5 alts from another guild, then the rest puggers. Plow though the content but on
Alysrazor
A tank and dps dies right after the first P2 and nobody rezzes. Group manages to trigger the tornadoes while there are still many adds on the ground
we still win. I literally think someone would have to purposely kill themselves to not defeat a boss now
so silly

Sometimes I despise the RNG of 10 man raiding.
I still havnt seen the healing shield drop from beth'tilac (7 normal, 6 heroic kills, still using the 372-heroic shield from Atramedes)
At least the mace (ko'gun hammer of the firelord) from heroic Rag dropped tonight.

Why do the PVP sets have three colors?
Edit:
Well, wowhead says "The Paladin set didn't have a breastplate, so it's safe to assume the last model of each set is an extra set that isn't going to be used. The first and second sets are normal and elite PvP season 11 models."
But, they could easily add a paladin chest....

So, I don't think mmo-champio has shown the 5 man dungeon sets.

really comes down to a playstyle thing. I prefer atonement spec for the interesting dynamics and to breeak the monotony of a non attonement disc spec.
But I didn't find it as useful at end game raiding so I specced out of it.
This was before the massive raiding nerf, I think next week I'll try to heal the raid in my shadow spec to see if we can actually wipe
The new spell effect for lightning bolt looks weird
Granted, the current effect is more of a 'lightning ball', but I really hope what's on the PTR for lightning bolt is unfinished.
The biggest PvP issue with the Wind Shear change for resto is that it would require losing Ancestral Swiftness. Without that mobility talent, getting away from a dps would be very difficult.

We're all going to have to keep tier 12 two piece unless they give some other type of buff (or nerf that set bonus). The tier 13 four piece looks like it could fall off and not stack properly depending on procs unless they change the 4 second duration anyway.Alex said:
Well, they are buffing Earthquake by 75% which isn't really giving up on it, so I'll probably start taking that talent again.Dresden said:

LB would be better if it just looked exactly like Chain Lightning without any chaining, but that would probably "devalue" CL.ciaossu said:The new spell effect for lightning bolt looks weird

We finally figured out the AOE in phase 2 on Heroic Rag last night... hopefully a kill this week or next!
Still amazed anyone had the patience for it pre-nerf.

My guild is working on pretty much the same part. We're having our druid go boomkin, which should helpwonderdung said:
We still haven't downed rag normal and I'm losing patience. Some core members had to quit and we only have 1 night to raid. The replacements are flakey. This guy rage logged off after killing domo because of a loot issue that could have been solved if he spoke up. We have like 30 attempts the past 2 months. Some scrubs that wiped for months on half of the bosses Pre-nerf downed Rag because of solid raid nights. We haven't had any solid night post nerf. Wasting time trying out people on Rag that have 0/7. I bet we'd get heroics easily since everything else is faceroll. Don't even hit the orb phase on Domo. The guy gettiing legendary doesn't want to extend raid lockout right now and lose a week.wonderdung said:

We only had one night this week to raid so we decided to only give the heroics a couple shots a piece and hope for the best. Got Shannox and Domo on our second attempts. Rhyolith was fairly easy too but we just didn't have enough time to perfect our strat and still get to Rag in time. Oh well, I think we'll make some good progress next week.
