As a ret pally, which stats should I prioritize to enchant my gear on?
EDIT: I finally defeated Ko'ragh today. So you guys won't see whine about him from now on. If I get lucky, I'll defeat Imperator Mar'gok and clear Highmaul tomorrow
Mastery.

It's like a 12 min fight.

I did MC over the weekend for the mount/helm and had little issue. We one shot every boss. It was a bore, but that was to be expected. I think you'd have to have some Grade-A idiots or a raid full of people with no idea how to approach each boss to have a really tough time in there. Which, obviously, there is a good chance you do being that it's LFR. I never raided back in vanilla so it was interesting to see it in a 40 man context for the first time, but I won't be doing it again.
Welp. I made a mistake of enchanting my cloak with haste. >_>
I suppose AH sells Draenic Dust?
Well, I managed to get at least to phase 3 until it was a wipe (I decided to leave the group afterwards since it took a while to defeat Ko'ragh and I needed rest). I guess with a competent group, it shouldn't be a problem.
That meme is great. It's actually a great point too lol.
There's a lot of bad stuff on MMO champ, but there are some very intelligent class theorycrafting discussions that happen sometimes. And sometimes someone knows something interesting for a boss fight that I hadn't thought about, or someone posts a good guide for something, etc.
There's a lot of crap to wade through to find constructive posts though. I generally stick to the Brewmaster threads and occasionally the Achievements section.
I'm a little disappointed with how little things you can enchant now.
Oh great, new epic bracers! Let's enchant that right n.... oh.
Enchants don't seem any weaker. They actually seem stronger now that they've been condensed into fewer slots, and yet they've also been offloaded to different slots than before. So I don't get that decision at all.
I don't see WoW as a type of game that would work well on a controller. It's KB/Mouse combo is pretty much fine
honestly I'm having a hard time giving a shit about any crafting professions except for enchanting and alchemy.. and those two only because they have ongoing benefit.
sure BS/LW/TL/JC can make great gear.. but it's ultimately just another way to get gear of comparable quality.. and with Highmaul open, and LFR going up tomorrow.. unless you have a ton of cash lying around, it's not even the most efficient way to get gear. and once the xpacs second tier opens... no longer worthwhile..
inscription has always sucked (having gotten to 600 in MOP). Glyphs are a severely hampered mechanic from a crafting stand point.. the only good part of inscription is while the darkmoon trinket(s) is/are BiS. Once they are no longer BiS there's little reason.
engineering granted has always just been engineering. people who are attracted to it still have those reasons.. people that aren't attracted to it probably won't still be attracted to it.
at least when you had each profession have a BOP enchant and end game enchants as well.. it created an ongoing reason to keep the profession. As it is now.. Alchemy and Enchanting.. that's it.

It's not fine if you've made the jump to pc gaming in the living room!
you are basically going to need to make a profile similar to FFXIV... oof.. FFXIV uses:
L2+square/triangle/cross/circle/dup/ddown/dleft/dright
R2+square/triangle/cross/circle/dup/ddown/dleft/dright
L2->R2+square/triangle/cross/circle/dup/ddown/dleft/dright
R2->L2+square/triangle/cross/circle/dup/ddown/dleft/dright
That gives you 24 action buttons which should handle even the most complex rotations. However, you still need the every day interactions, typing, etc.. I don't see a way of permanently getting rid of KB+M. You'd also need a way to (seamlessly) map camera to R-stick.. and then L-stick would map to fwd/bkwd/strafe.
all in all it could work.. but without it actually being built into the game (KB+M emulation/mapping basically) I strongly question at the responsiveness and/or accuracy.
The intent was to cut down on the stuff you needed to do before you could equip an item. Previously you needed to enchant it, gem it, possibly reforge it and/or multiple pieces of your gear and at points, upgrade it before you could equip your new sweet loot.
I got an item off a bonus roll and it took me half an hour to realize that "oh right, I can actually put this on right away instead of after the raid".
I certainly hope not.

GW2 has been out forever. How long does it take for Blizzard to learn how to do mass crafting correctly?
That feel when you can't use the "Equip a follower with 615 weapon/armor" items anymore because all 25 followers are above that
I have a bunch of them siting on my alt's bags that I'm too busy hoarding to use. 'But maybe I'll get a purple and then I'll want to use it on that!'
* - too strong for shamans to have
There's people on YouTube running pvp with a controller and do very well. They just want you to buy a profile or just don't offer theirs at all.

WoW is a game designed to be played by moving your camera and your character at the same time. A lot. And by moving your camera I do mean moving your camera in a full 3 dimensional panorama, with zooming and everything.
This will prove difficult without a keyboard and mouse. Not impossible, but difficult. There are gamers with limited mobility in their arms and fingers who play WoW. I'm sure you can figure out a controller mapping scheme that's comfortable for you.

Felt bad on my hunter alt. Group said my pet was a better tank than the one we had with him with him right there :lol
I hate how each race has these really distinct silhouettes, but with Ascendance we all look like what an ascendant human or orc male would look like. Instead of just using the generic mob model, they should come up with an interesting graphic effect for Ascendance, ala Shadowform or glyphed Moonkin form. Make our skin molten earth for ele, watery for resto, turn enh into a tempest(or just get rid of enh Ascendance altogether and make Feral Spirits really awesome again), stuff like that.
Enchants are on weapons, rings, and cloaks now because those are all slots you're expected to swap out when you change specs. That way, you don't have to re-enchant your core armor or swap pieces because your different specs all want a different secondary.
Speaking of enchants, has anyone tried to stack the new cloak Gifts with boot running enchants on their low level alts yet? It should work given how speed stacks now, but I was wondering if there were exceptions in place with the two different run speed slots.

Weird, there is no wand drops on dungeons or in early raid bosses
That actually makes a lot of sense, even if it is just forced Bonus Armor / Spirit on the gear.
JORMBO
Darkness no more
I am hoping they add some new, useful stuff in upcoming patches.

Pets have the automatic advantage of high aoe avoidance.
Depends what you mean. Mainhand / offhand weapons have gone the way of the dodo and there are only 1-hand weapons now, but casters still have off-hand frills they can wave menacingly at enemies. I have a demonic book from the Hyjal raid if memory serves as my off hand frill.
The trinket changes so far have been literally insane.
I mean, Candle was stupidly overpowered, but they need to balance BoEs before the game goes live.
haha. Anyone who only cleared mythic siege post stat squish shouldn't be taken serious. Same with any people who killed Heroic(normal) garrosh. in one night, one pull in 6.0.
messing a little bit with my 90 shaman, I like these new lava spikes that ocasional proc, looks cool
You have no control over them, and they break cc.
Cool. is a great choice of words.

I really hope to find and sneak up a tectus n boss group, fingers crossed
they go on random targets? I assumed it was like the frost mage spkes just went on your target. also I said they LOOK cool, and they do
eh, some folk do overestimate and overhype, but some can pull it off.
I formed a guild two weeks before 6.00. Had our first raid in 6.00 and one shot everything. So far we cleared Highmaul and now waiting for mythic. Should be fun. Have high hopes for the guild.
Trade chat of course!
Clefthoof (Multstrike/Versatility)
Rylak (Haste/Stamina)
Spirit Beast (Mastery/Healing)
Whatever has Crit. (So...Water Strider or Devilsaur.)
You know, it's super baffling as to why they don't have Multistrike.
They have three heads and all that. Would just make sense.
(Guess it'd be a good alternative to using a Cat.)

Yeah, I had the same thing happen once I actually got to enchanting.
man all of a sudden I found myself with resources coming out of my ass. dumped lumbermill for the inn, and proceeded to upgrade it to lvl 2, put in 14 (!) work orders at the dwarven bunker, sent all my followers on missions and still had 300 resources left
also, can you play wow on a Surface?

China (and countries that buy gear from Chinese networking companies) would need to replace large parts of its infrastructure to harden it against exploits that fuel the incumbet botnets. That's never going to happen.
Had a tank partway through a run try to kick me after he died from standing in front of the boss when he should have been moving, said paladins can't do damage and I was dragging them down. No one agreed, someone posted the DPS meter showing me having a commanding lead. We kicked him and finished with a new tank. That tank got a very nice warforged shield. Justice served.
Hmm...in that case, somebody needs to come up with a reverse hack/bot/virus to attack all the botnets (or better yet, turn them against one another causing all sorts of intercontinental computer chaos).

So...
Frost DKs get a small buff.
MM Hunters get nerfed a bit (and Kill Shot gets reduced?! BOO!)
Mages get buffed.
Shamans get buffed.
And Fury Warriors get some buffs!
Also:
That was quite annoying for me.
