Haven't paid any attention to Legion news since it was announced.

How are Survival Hunters panning out?

I would suspect they'll always be marginally underpowered, just because of the shitshow if the 'best' hunter spec is melee and those hunter mains feel forced into it.

I think the actual gameplay of it is super fun. It's all about bursting Mongoose bites and then pooling for the nest burst. Plus you get reverse death grip which is super fun.

I think it does a good job of making you feel like 'melee with a pet' as well, probably moreso than unholy DK.

 

[Dog Problems]

I don't really have any goals at the moment. My main concern is deciding on what to focus on in Legion. Finding a spec that is fun and works for me while also being happy with how the artifact is displayed.

 

[erawsd]

My goal is to just get through as much of my backlog as possible since WoW usually keeps me from playing other games, unless its something Im super hyped for.

 

[Bisnic]

Of course, obligatory GoT reference.(Mage class hall)

Wonder if there's more GoT references. Probably.

 

[Data West]

I've also been casually working on loremaster, but it's so fucking boring.

 

[Azzurri]

Haven't played Beta, but watching and reading changes to Destro lock sucks, doesn't seem fun at all.

Looks like I'm gonna try out Frost or Unholy DK.

Demo warlock has the perfect ability spot for metamorphosis called demonic empowerment.

But instead of having that awesome transformation ability, I just cast for a second and some eyes appear above my head and my demons are buffed for a little bit.

 

[Data West]

So I was working on Loremaster. I've done it all on my Shaman so far. I was working on Outlands and figured I would hope overo n my DK to do Blade's Edge on my DK just to spice it up.


It does not track progress for the Meta on other characters. I'm not talking like '50/100' quests. I'm talking like the zones itself. Even though I did Terrorkar on my Shaman and GOT the achievement. When I pull up Loremaster of Outlands, it does not have Terrorkar marked off

Holy fuck this game is dumb sometimes

 

[Ark]

The action camera looks really, really awesome. I can't wait to run around with that on my fury warrior.

Doing it before Cataclysm was painful, not boring.
I got that achievement 2010-03-21. I had to check when that was in the timeline and it was the month after the Lich King was made available.

Double post.

Heh, yeah. I did it during Wrath and it was painful at times. Ended up getting an addon to track quests I hadn't yet found. Outland Nagrand is presumably still a pain as I remember quest chains starting outside the zone and such.

YUP. Actually just finished Outland Nagrand the other day and I had to pick up some stuff in SMV to unlock the demon hunter guy.

Should I gear up a Disc Priest or a Resto Druid?

No, you have the zone cleared achievement and it is cross-character. If you hover over the achievement points it shows which of your characters has it. Your shaman's name will appear credited with clearing it, the achievement just shows up as greyed out/unearned because the character you are currently playing hasn't completed it. You can expand the Loremaster achievement for Outland and see if your Shaman clearing the zones is credited there. Then you just have to clear the remainder on your DK and you should be good.

The achievement system is kind of clunky.

What does your raid team need? I prefer the disc playstyle.

 

[Nugg]

Guys, what's the most efficient way to farm to time lost proto drake these days? Does NPCScan still does its job?

 

[Bisnic]

Tried it yesterday, it's cool, but i think I prefer having full control over the camera than this.

Could be useful to make nice screenshots though.

 

[drotahorror]

1 piece short of completing my set

Why do glorious legs have to cost 100,000g?

 

[Tenebrous]

Because slut mog yo.

Could also get Cloudkeeper's to do you for now.

 

[strafer]

Nice marketing stunt

When the pre-patch hits, how will I play Survival until I get my artifact? I don't have any way to acquire a weapon yet.
You will be granted a new weapon on login

Well that's interesting.

Those look worse than my Saltstone's though.

not even exaggerating btw, about that price. In fact it was an understatement.

I PUG. In a guild, but as a non-raiding member.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

The thread about the Action Camera kind of died off but I wanted to show/remind people of 2007's 'Action Camera' where you basically had unlimited control of the camera given a few (now removed) console commands. Skip to ~3:30 for the dramatic angles.

Disc then. Need less gear to be competitive.

Same with the extra view distance. Used to be able to spank it up to ludicrous levels.

Right. That's exactly what I'm saying. It's not counting the zone being cleared as credited on my DK.

Okay, are the cleared zones you did on your Shaman showing up as checked off in the Outland Loremaster list when you expand the achievement? That's the only place cross-character progress for clearing zones is displayed, in the meta-achievement.

I've been occupied with a few things so I have missed many of these beta key giveaways recently. Hopefully I can get an invite anyway.

Good luck to those who have entered any contest. I think the winners of Eurogamer's recent key giveaway will be notified today.

Will you get something that allows you to play WoW at beyond 640*480?

If you're talking about for Legion, Disc is really *weird*. I don't like it personally, but some folks do.

For on live right now, I'd say Disc for sure

A little bit of both. I plan to PUG HFC with it, but it will probably be the first healer I play in Legion (will be maining DH).

I like the fantasy (buzzwords lol) of Resto a bit more, but my impression is that Disc will be a little safer/less stressful/easier to pick up for someone new to healing- accurate?

I'd say no to your last question, but Holy is actually pretty great and you could use the same toon. The Plea->Atonement application -> dps -> heal structure is kinda weird. I think they'll be fine in raids because different healers can have different niches, but in a 5 man it's pretty awkward and not fun imo. They still have a "Flash Heal" (Shadow Mend), but it ticks away for damage for 50% of the heal unless the target takes damage, so it's mostly just good for the tank.

Atonement isn't passive, you have to manually apply it to targets. It feels weird, I don't like it. Holy is actually good now though, so you have a fallback.

Not at the current price gouging by nvidia... better off taking a discounted 390 or a second hand 970

I've had a nostalgia trip for some reason and resubbed for a month, starting a new character. I haven't played since WotLK. What are the best redone leveling zones on horde side?

Undead starting zone is great

I also like the unfolding Tauren questline with the Magtotem

What spec would you say is the best for someone new to healing then? If there's no answer (i.e. they're even) I'll probably just roll with Resto.

Undead side is cool. Also I don't remember the zone (hillsbrad?) but the whole quest chain putting you in the shoes of a quest giver has to be done at least once. So good.

Durotar > Northern Barrens > Ashenvale > Stone Talon Mountains has a nice build up from the mundane of Durotar to joining a Horde warband in Stone Talon Mountains. Stone Talon Mountains was redone for Cataclysm, I believe, and has an awesome story arc on the Horde side. It's a slow burn, that will start off being fairly familiar but will end pretty epically by the conclusion of Stone Talon Mountains. It's one of my favourite 1-60 leveling experiences Horde-side outside of rolling a Forsaken.

Edit: Nice, you rolled a Goblin, that starter area is pretty great too. I love how ridiculous it is. There's lots of nice call backs to it and the NPCs you met there in Azshara, Northern Stranglethorn and Tanaris.

I haven't healed that much this expac other than Mistweaver (which takes some getting used to), but Resto Druid is probably a safe starting spot. Or Resto Shaman. Shaman isn't hard and rewards you for healing lower health players, kinda cool.

Follow the questline to Southern Barrens then to Thousand Needles. The TN questline is great.

Alright, cool, thanks for the advice. Now to choose between those two

Also decided to start gearing up my Lock as well. Gul'dan movie staff too good.

Got my damage best performance average upto 84, with Council, Kilrogg & Iskar being my weakest... Shame we won't be doing those again for a while (Iskar aside).
