Thanks for the responses. Game was already on the out and out for me, but if tanking stays like this I absolutely just can't. Really sad day 
Rip my glorious brewmaster days.

There's a follow up post from Ion.
Says he uses need before greed in his guild which, yeah, is weird as fuck. I can almost guarantee most serious or even semi-serious progression guilds don't. Design done in a bubble.
The main thrust of the change is to avoid ninja-looting/reserves/etc. Which is a noble intention, but they fucked over a subset of legitimate players at the same time. They believe the benefit outweighs the cost. I don't necessarily agree.
Personal loot needs to be a better than it is now, or there needs to be a new loot system that works even better. Ideally something that allows targeting of specific pieces beyond the current bonus roll system.
Still doesn't address single drops like Mythic mounts not working when personal loot is enabled, and if personal loot gives out the actual tier piece rather than a token, it's hardly as effective as master loot for targeted gearing, even if it is tradable.
Shrug I'm finding guardian druid pretty damn fun myself
Low amount of actual button presses but the decision making is still there
we did something hilarious today and this is the result xD http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/sargeras/Milenniaa/advanced

I see. Well, might switch mining to archaeology then, since there's no way I'm fishing.
Starting to look over the artifact trees more, and it's kind of comical how inconvenient some of these are. Fury is guided towards not having any of the three major artifact talents when it hits 110.
Outlaw Rogue tho![]()
This is the price we pay for the trees to sort of look like the weapon.Some classes get their three major traits fastest in around 250-300k artifact power, while others take 600k plus.
Rofl, they carried a fresh boosted mage of yours?
We 7 manned those bosses![]()
I heard it's awesome as fuck
Got a link to the full group you used?
The bug was hotfixed but it involved warlocks contributing to a single warlocks immolate (218m per hit etc)
Aha, that sounds pretty... Yeah, I've no words.
How can my guild still not have a good damn Warlock, by the way?! They're so rare.
A good Warlock, or a god damn Warlock?
Yeah, the loss of 6 million subs since Cata seems to back that fact up.
Look, I think a lot of the changes they've made as far as Quality of Life changes have been fantastic. But changes like this take away options from people who play different ways. Blizzard has continued to do these kinds of things, take shit away and I think it's a detriment to the game.
just a PSA
theres an achievement you can get in pre patch for collecting 12 pamphlets from doomsayers and theres a group in the LFG (US) thats boosting them
took me maybe 20 minutes
Got on today to test out tanks.
I've never been more sad. They've gutted everything. All the tanks use like 6 abilities now.
How is this fun?
Anyone in the beta, does tanking at least get better at 110?
I feel kinda bad for enjoying this patch when clearly the majority isnt. Oh well, being away for a year and a half will give you hella rose tinted glasses I guess /shrug
Is M HFC now so easy that I could just hop into a pug and have a successful run? My DK is like 730 or something
You can just die in Valley of Spirits(or near the MOP portal in Stormwind) and use spirit healer/rez sickness naked and get them all that way. Resets the cooldown.
took me like 6 minutes tops

Jesus the new Disc is fucking crazy. They turned that shit 180 and then flipped it upside down. In 5 mans you are just gasping for air all the time, but in raids at least you feel like you can contribute something positive.
Enhancement is a lot of fun now. Need some weakauras for the weapon enhancements, but it's all thunder all the time. The new melee animations are great.
What about those of us that aren't Alliance scum?
Valley of Wisdom. There's a doomsayer right across the pond from the spirit healer by the tauren camp.
I've never used weakauras but is that one of those that tells you when things are procced and ready to use? I'm a bit rusty on names of abilities now but Lava Lash is the one I'm missing since it only highlights the little icon and doesn't have a screen decoration like the maelstrom proc for when Stormstrike or whatever is good to go. And I don't have anything close to a rotation at this point. I just mash Rockbiter and then mix in other stuff off of cooldown and do some Lava Lash when maelstrom is high but don't let it get too low so I can hit things off of cooldowns that need the new resource.
I honestly don't notice any of the new melee animations but the big lightning crash is great. And Rockbiter sounds good.
I also completely forgot about totems and haven't dropped a single one. I need my totem add on again as that was essential for me to use them.
Edit: Did they remove totems? I only see Earthgrab Totem. What happened to shamans!?
Well ret pally feels like absolute poop now. I'm all for getting rid of bloat but with this patch I now feel like I truly have just three usable skills, with the rest on my bar just waiting for my holy power to fill up. I especially feel sparse on abilities when the three that I can use have 4-6 second cooldowns, and if I spam them all I'm left scratching my bum until holy power is full ans then I use one of my powered abilities.
Definitely need to test more but I am just not having fun. Time to level a druid, I'm hearing great things about them and on my old server during wotlk I loved playing druid.
I didn't pick consecration in my current build, but if that's going to be necessary just to be able to do something else when I'm waiting for cooldowns then pally is not gonna be my main this expansion.howzat? You can't use Consecration in your rotation?
Some did an 8.0 character sheet. Hehehehe.

So Weakauras can do a number of things, warn you about cooldowns/durations, tell you when you're resource has reached a certain breakpoint, tell you when your buffs need to be refreshed. Basically the new Enh (when talented appropriately) have 3 buffs to keep up (Frostbrand, Flametongue, Boulderfist) that help your DPS by a ton.
And no, we don't have totems anymore. I think Ele and Resto got em all.
I just looked through talents again and I figured Boulderfist might be the way to go but right now I have Hot Hands in that tier. Why would Frostbrand be used, though? Is it dropping Lightning Shield for Hailstorm? Otherwise the damage from Frostbrand is lower than Rockbiter and Rockbiter generates maelstrom instead of Frostbrand using it. But the buff from Frostbrand seems largely pointless for PVE content.
Boulderfist is going to annoy me with how I have my keys set up since I'm at essentially my ideal amount of abilities for my current set up. But I suppose I could shift something around and get one more in there.
