I need to try it out. I'm way behind on follower stuff cuz I went into the expansion blind and wasted a ton of resources on buildings that I didn't need.
It kind of makes me annoyed that I have a mining profession, now. I suppose I am getting "extra" primal spirits from mining in the world, but still.
I am so far behind where I normally am in the curve, I don't need to use them yet.

The Whispering Crystal is +200 all stats, too.
But the thing is, The Draenic Agility Flask is extremely cheap to begin with and +50 Agility is actually a lot of Agility. Its literally 5 herbs which everyone's garrison has in them + a vial. I use those flasks even in Heroics or regulars because why not - there is almost nothing else to use herbs for.
I'm jelly, I have a spirit/multistrike that's raw stats, and a Intel/crit raw stats, wish it was something else besides crit, don't need it on my holy priest.Just got this warforged trinket for my resto druid:
Sooooooo good. (Both proc and intelligence increase)
Wow, my followers are finally worthwhile. I can do missions for ilvl 630 stuff at follower ilvl 615, so I can finally fill out those gaps in my gear like Trinkets and Wrists.
Also got a mission for like 138 Garrison Resources fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu (also 615).
Get your salvage yard going folks, it pays off in the long run.

Yup, gotten like 4 epic weapon upgrades from the salvage crate.
Epic weapon nothing. I must've gotten a dozen of those "equip your follower with a 615 armor/weapon". Those are worse ASSLOADS early on, when you can catapult them instantly to 615 which unlocks the "next" tier of missions.
Ugh, only iLvL 623 for PvE. This is going to take a while. If the DPS queues weren't 35-45 minutes long I'd be fine with that. But at least it seems like heroics give a lot of drops. First heroic I did I upgraded my weapon, boots, and a ring to 630. I can't wait to upgrade these engineering goggles.

Yeah I immediately leveled my DK to 100 after seeing the queue times for DPS. Gonna be faster to gear him as tank then switch my loot spec to DPS than just sitting in queue trying as Frost.

Maybe an Inn on my alt wasn't the best choice, waiting in queues for specific dungeons doesn't seem a very efficient use of time on said alt.
I just got my 2nd character (warrior) to 100 and got him heroic ready and got all the legendary cores, in <6 hours after dinging. I may need help. I only started to level him to get a boost on unlocking more T3 buildings (the cheevo counters are account wide) too...
... but gladiator spec is sooo fun.
Nerfed to 100 in a hotfix a couple of days ago.

You're gonna make me level up my Warrior too :|
I don't have much else to do right now other than wait for missions to finish on my DK unless I want to grind a bunch of mobs for rep.
That's a good idea. I could fill out my holy gear in Ashran in a few nights then do that. Healer rather than tank.

Is it just me, or is healing super intense this xpac? I feel like I'm sweating and getting through bosses by the skin of my teeth! It's exhausting! I feel like healing was never this difficult.
Shaman heals by the way.

Did it actually happen? mine still says +200 and gives +200
Yeah, that's why I started playing my warrior more too.
There should be shields in treasures in.. I want to say Nagrand. At least an int shield for you to test it out.
Oralius' Whispering Crystal now increases all stats by 100 (down from 200). --- November 17th hotfixes
Gladiator spec is everything I hate about MMO rotations. No thoughtful choices and you have to spam an ability every time the GCD resets. I understand why people like it conceptually, and because it's the highest single target DPS warrior spec with the highest utility and the highest mobility, but actually playing it is the biggest chore.
Thousand Needles is currently hilariously broken. The quest chain has you fighting seven or eight mini-bosses throughout the zone and they're all broken in some way. The funniest one is the one that enrages and instantly kills everything. Or the wind rider guy whose second phase is "jumping off his wind rider", except he doesn't actually jump off his wind rider, so a wind rider spawns inside of him and flies off while he keeps riding his wind rider.
That's why I plan to have Arms as my DPS spec. So I can tank in Prot, single target DPS in Glad, and cleave/AOE in Arms.
I actually prefer slower rotations like Arms so I can focus on what's going on around me instead of staring at my Weakauras the whole fight. I want to actually enjoy the new character animations, the art, etc.
I agree. I didn't like the "rotation". It was my first 100, but it became tedious. I started leveling my rogue and I'm liking the combat/rotation much more.
However, PvP as a gladiator warrior is really fun.
It looks like an elite in Nagrand drops a 609 shield. Maybe I'll try to snag it tonight.

I have a love hate relationship with the new heroics and drop rate for gear.
I love that in most cases, I come out of heroics makng a little cash. I sell or DE the stuff I don't need a make a few gold. I'm always making money every day now, which is unusual for me unless I was farming.
I hate that there are so many potential items that drop from a boss now, that even though I have a better chance to get loot, I have less of a chance to get the item that I actually need.
I need trinkets!

That's no fun. But I still have basically infinite Agility flasks, so there's that.
Everyone was saying "build what you want" but it really seems like you have to get Lumber Mills, War Mill/Bunker and Salvage Yards, upgraded as fast as you can. Hell, the Mill/Bunker (I hate that they gave these different names) gives you a free seal for gear rolls every week.
The first boss in heroic Everbloom. How is it possible to finish? The bubbles keep coming, wave after wave, anf the plants burst from the ground. I'm not doing any AoE, so I am not hitting them. That shit feels severely overtuned. It needs like half the bubbles, and just get rid of those plants completely.
Just ignore the bubbles. It's not as hard as you think it is.
So kill the plants instead? Don't the bubbles heal him?
Just don't make the plants. The plants spawn when the water globs run over patches. If some do pop up just kill them fast with AOE while you're on top of the boss.
I've been leveling my warrior the past few days for blacksmith stuff and I've been digging Arms. Not really many numbers popping up on the screen and each of my hits feel really powerful. It actually feels like I am wielding a giant 2 hander and hitting things really hard which I've never really felt playing arms in the past.

You just burst the boss like its Patchwerk and incidentally kill the globs as I recall.
When the bubbles come the boss takes 100% extra damage. Just dps the hell out of the boss during that and clear any adds when he's up moving.
Stand him in the middle of the area and have dps back against the wall should limit plant spawns as the plant growth will be behind the boss who is between them and the water
I've never had trouble doing this:
-Tank boss in the middle facing the water. Ranged stay behind him near the wall to drop vines there.
-Melee stay on the boss the entire fight.
-Ranged kill globs if they can, otherwise just DPS the boss.
If your party's DPS is good, it's possible to kill both the bubbles and hit him a few times, prolonging the "parched" phase, when he takes extra damage.
But otherwise you can ignore the bubbles if you don't mind going through the cycle a few times. He doesn't heal at all. It's just sort of an "energy" bar for him.
My best run is when my DPS managed to bring him down to 10% within the first globules cycle by alternating between the globules and him.

Way to do Witherbark if you can handle it: tank him against the wall and have dps drop the plants behind him, that way all the water gets absorbed by the plants and he takes the increased damage debuff until he dies. Tank just needs to pick up the adds, Monk statue makes it super easy.
For the most part, but you want Bonus Armor stat on as many pieces as possible
Oh, damn =[ I don't have any of that.
It only drops on rings/neck/trinket I think? But it gives a direct 1:1 ratio for your attack power.
Interesting. I'll set my loot spec to prot and see if I can get lucky in some dungeons.
Cloaks too.
