World of Warcraft |OT6| This wolf still has teeth

There's no gear on some of my left side slots (head, shoulders, shirt)
Is this normal? Where'd I normally go about acquiring gear other than quests and dungeons at this point?

Shirt is cosmetic.

Head and shoulders used to wait til 30s-40s. Not sure if that's still the case

My monk hit Outland with a vengeance. 63 already, so I don't think I'll be seeing very much of the place. :p

Okay, made my UD priest. Got almost full heirlooms (no ring). Time to see how fast I can get to 60 so I can boost it up once WoD drops.
 
I logged onto my highest level char (I quit close to the start of Cata) and I have no clue what any of my skills do anymore.

Trying to decide if I want to play a monk or roll a new version of those classes on new server (the guild I was in is dead).

I've levelled a character through to 72 with dungeon runs recently and I found lots of chatty groups.

Just initiate conversation and it'll flow, you might even find groups you want to chat with. Also I was in Nagrand the other day and General was like Barrens chat back in the day activity wise.

If you want to talk to people, do it! :>

Man I'm actually considering boosting my warrior this week just to get an heirloom for WoD.

Trying to resist dropping the $60. I doubt heirlooms will matter that much when leveling.

It really shouldn't matter. But being removed from the game + pre-launch hype + nothing else to do in the game now anyway means that everyone's chasing down an heirloom.

Yeah, they honestly won't make much of a difference at all because leveling is leveling, but its the most worthwhile thing you can be doing right now while waiting for the 13th.

Yeah, y'all are probably right. I didn't get into the beta to test it or anything, but I doubt leveling will be too much trouble without an heirloom.

Definitely going to try and level my warrior soon, though.

Are you a new character? If so, you probably won't see head and shoulders for a few levels. Shirt and tabard can stay blank.
 
Do we know the ilvl of weapon drops from Level 100 UBRS? I'm debating whether I should just pony up a little gold for a heirloom axe heroic guaranteed run but if @ 100, we are getting 630+(?) weps right out the gate, it isn't going to be worth it for a weeks usage.

630 is heroic dungeon ilvl. Normal UBRS is 615.

Level 100 heroic blues are 630 I think.

Hmm. And heirlooms top out at 620 (from all difficulties) at level 100.

Do Heroic drops also have the potential for Warforged / Socket, etc? Or only raid drops?

Raid only for warforged, unsure about sockets.

Yes. Even quest rewards can proc a better version actually. For quest rewards I think it's just a boost up to an epic, no tertiaries etc. Not sure though.

Nope, dungeon loot can be Warforged/socket/tertiaries.

Yup, I leveled 3 characters this weekend from 87/88-90. It took like 2-2.5 hours each.

Is it seriously that fast now? That's like a 2-300% increase over what it used to be.

I can't be the only one who still took like 4-5 hours per level in Pandaria content, right?

I swear, after all these years, I'm still a slow leveller. I guess.

I mean, half an hour alone can get eaten up by a dungeon run that only ends up yielding a fifth of a level.

Is questing THE way to level fastest from 1-90 these days? Barring a 90 helping you grind dungeons, since that won't be something I do.
 
I wish Blizzard would release a consolidation tool. I have x number(don't remember, blizz block at work) of characters spread across different servers, I'd like to be able to move them all to the same server.*

*without having to pay 25$ a char.

And lose all that character transfer money? Lol

(I want such a tool, too. ;(. )

Got my Blazing Wings. These are pretty cool.

I fully expect Blizzard to nerf the duration of those wings. 60 mins duration with 60 mins cooldown means you're going to see A LOT of these wings around, and everybody knows "Blizzard don't like fun" when it comes to things like that.
 
Feels like the celestial mount.

Looks cool when one guy in a crowd has it

Less cool when everyone is rocking it.

The fad will die. RPers are happy though.

Oh, okay.

World of Warcraft |OT6| It's Actually Diablo 4

Yeah, that's what my guildies have been saying.

I'm not sure how I feel about it... I think I prefer the model where there is just so much different shit that can drop you might never see it all (Ulduar was a bit like this, not to mention the itemization being different on 10/25). Warforged and Tertiaries are potentially a little too much 'fluff' randomness for me.

The wod gearing will be a disaster. I get that tier is predictable, but random stats, random sockets warforge and non warforge is so excessive its not even funny. It makes comparing logs/comparing your self to other people kinda pointless. I'll still do it, but meh.

I think thats the point, and the intention is to make it so that you never get BiS. It's not really necessary to get a crazy amount of gear to kill things, it's like Challenge Mode where it's about your skill, while retaining a sense of upgrades and loot.


Of course, people will still go absolutely apeshit about every little bit of min/maxing.

e: I got rejected from a guild because I didn't have an addon like weakauras or tellmewhen to track procs. Since snapshotting is gone, I didn't really think it's necessary anymore, coupled with the random PPM rate on everything not lining up anymore, it's so pointless.

Of course I used to track them, and when I would get 4 procs + dark soul + badge of dominance, it was most damage in the world and then I spread the dots to every one in range.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills though. Am I wrong in thinking this? What the fuck is a warlock supposed to do when shit procs? It's not like re-applying dots is necessary, and procs are so uneven that it's pointless to save big damage dumps except for on-use cooldowns.
 
I doubt I'm going to be able to get the hellscream loom on heroic before WoD, what do you guys think about the boosts going for 5-7k?

As long as the buyer's legit then do it! I mean if you want the heirloom enough. I grabbed one from a top guild on my server for my mage. Only 6k and took like 10 minutes.

I really don't understand why so many people are paying for a dumb ugly heirloom? Especially if you already have a normal version.

It's basically BiS for levelling as no weapon will be better than it until max level. Levelling with some transmog is the best thing about heirlooms though :p
