Follower missions obviously.
I tried playing affliction for the first time since BC today.
...I miss BC Affliction. Current Aff just feels like they kept adding things on and never removed anything like they did for other classes. Shadow Priest reminds me more of old Affliction than the current one.

Downed Normal Twins and Ko'ragh yesterday, pretty fun fights as a hunter. Got Imperator to about 50% a few times, but we only had around 30 minutes left so it was mostly just to get a feel of the fight.
Unless Imperator is terrible <50%, this tier of raiding is pretty great so far.

Welp, completely unable to play my mage now.
Tried hearthing to my garrison, kicked to char select and garrison hearthstone went on cooldown. Fine, whatever, not the first time.
So I log back in and run into my garrison, except none of my NPCs or buildings are there. Then I get booted to char select again. Now when I try to log back in, I log into my garrison, with no NPCs or buildings, and get booted to char select within a minute. I can't even teleport out because I'm apparently already in the process of disconnecting the second I log in.
Cool game, Blizzard.

Note that they can be warforged/socketed/tertiarystats.
I've had 3 different ones and the best one was warforged with a socket. So unless you get a baller one like that on the first go, it's still worth doing them. And they can be DEd ofc if you're an enchanter.
It eventually started working on its own. Guessing the garrison instance server was puking on itself or something.
Have had pretty good luck with followers so far. Two upgraded to epic and two upgraded to rare out of my first 5.

There are way too few sources of weapons atm. I'm closing in on iLvl 650 and I'm still wearing a 630 weapon.
The only Proving Grounds reward is the weapon you get for completing Silver.

How to tell people didn't play in vanilla.. they try to go to domo before golemagg lol.
Arcane mage seems fine now as well, consistently top 3 but you really have to be up on your mana %.

Oh right, it said so at the page ;p
I had a lot of fun playing the game, not sure about playing this in the future after my sub runs out tho.. we'll see
I got really lucky with weapons, had 2 missions pop up for 645 weapons and one of them managed to warforge. Pretty nice since there is only one rogue dagger in highmaul iirc.

Far too many resources for gear in general. Welfare epics raining from the sky.

Arcane is the top parsing ranged now for single target, and the top parsing spec at higher gear levels.
You really want to stay still though with the runes of power. For something like Twin Ogron or Brackenspore where there's a lot of cleave (Twin Ogron especially), Frost is probably better.
Trying to learn Frost Mage now from scratch at 92 after never having played it before. Can tell I'll REALLY want some weak auras for it to monitor shit - at least better timers for the things that are already shown with the default Blizzard auras. There is so much stuff you have to have bound and more core rotational spells than I'm used to. But I guess that's what you get for not having a secondary resource mechanic.

Just understand when to and when not to dump your fingers/finger producing abilities and that's about it. Timing your elemental's channel for when you know for sure you can get off two fb is important too.
As for movement, I use ice floes to reposition my runes when on the run. Makes a big difference.

Doing it on Heroic is misery. It's like TIME FOR FUN levels of brick wall for groups with idiots, which is unfortunately the majority of them. Two nights in a row I had groups fall apart there, last night finally got through it all and got the piece for the quest, never going back again.
It was Thrym for me - the massive giant patrolling the entrance to Zul'Drak - wailing on him constantly to get the skillups but with him having enough health that I didn't need to worry too much about actually having to find another mob to kill any time soon.
He's in SW? I don't think I've been there since the expansion launched.
He's everywhere, including the Pandaria capitals. Stormwind is the only place where he actually stands somewhere you have to go by on a ground mount.
Yeah, no joke.
I ended up just making the Engineer Gun because nothing would drop AT ALL.
Had a guy from the guild get a 645 weapon from a Gold Invasion...I'm mad jelly since I haven't had one pop up yet.
Definitely worth doing, although there are some to skip, especially Halls of Stone (or w/e it's called) and Occulus.
Still have that achievment left for the Red Proto Drake.
Experienced Drakerider....bane of my existence.

I was grinding Exarch rep and eventually I got a Garrison Mission (not an invasion), that sent me all over Draenor and finished Yrel's story. I got the mission before I was exalted, so I don't know what the trigger was.
Another Garrison Mission I got gave me a permanent Mole Machine that ports to Gorgrond.

I love when you and 4 other people who are decent at PvP are just sitting in mumble and then you all realize you need to conquest cap for the week still, so you just put together the most inane 5v5 team and it actually works.
Frost DK
Frost DK
Combat Rogue
Marks Hunter
Frost Mage
We call it dispel cleave.
It actually works really well, since the frost DK's are very sturdy and the other classes are very slippery all we need to do is murder a healer by dispelling EVERY SINGLE BUFF and using the combined power of 4 DPS to bring him down while the rogue controls the other healer, eventually without healers we kind of just snow ball into a victory.
We were originally gonnna just go till cap but it was so much fun we stopped at a 60% win ratio and a 1700 MMR.

Anything pretty much works in 5s because no one takes it seriously. Never going to run into serious teams in there.

Yeah after the games we mused about how it was ridiculous that we could earn titles from this but not 2v2, I get why 2v2 isn't taken seriously since the game isn't balanced around it.
But man 5s is a shit show.

MM is very strong but was just nerfed, SV is a little behind but not terrible. The main problem with survival is that it manages to find a way to be even more dull than Marks, you don't even get a DPS cooldown. I really wish they had done something other than "Remove class defining trait -> get more damage" with our best level 100 talent.
Gonna nab a CE today and attempt to have my current digital WoD converted to game time or refunded.
If they insist on merely refunding me the goddamned key, I'm looking to sell it - any takers?
I accept real dinero (Going for $40, cheaper than full price. #GAFdiscount) or alternatively, gold on Mal'ganis PvP US. (Whatever $50 works out to, I guess).

In other news, my boy's on a trip for two weeks before I head out to join him in Japan. In the interim, I must be sure to avert this from happening to me.

Blizz needs to do something about Sumptuous Fur. I have one tailoring alt and I'm constantly running dry. I don't have problems sourcing anything but fur with 3 max level characters.
I hope we kill Cho'gall in the Mythic Mar'gok fight. There are some sound files where he is talking to Mar'gok. But holy shit the Mythic mechanics for that fight sound insane. He has 2 buffs up at all times.
Try Barn work orders? That's how I get my leather and I'm always stocked up.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
The droprate really isn't bad, you just actually have to go out and farm it, which is way more time intensive than herbs and ore for obvious reasons.
They should increase the fur yield from barn work order too, imo.
IN OTHER NEWS, last night was pretty good on the loot front for me. Got normal gloves of kargath, warforged ring off tectus, and heroic helm off butcher. I now have both pieces of ele loot off of heroic butcher after 2 heroic kills.
