Just tried the Holy Enchantment buff on a level 62 monk. Hilarious how much I was insta-gibbing stuff haha.

This is going to get hotfixed so hard. Wonder if they could fix the XP splitting issues in invasions as well though.

Which NPC do you get it from? Flew around SW harbor on my Warlock and didn't get it

 

[CelticKnight]

Some of those tier sets (like the Hunter one) look better on certain races. It's nice on a female Night Elf, but dopey on a Human male.

What the hell is this?

A Red Mage from Final Fantasy.

The "polishing" crystals, on a table. Purple ones, I think. Just click 'em.

 

[Robin64]

I'm partial to the Tirisfal set for mages.

I love things kept simple, and this is, but still looks nice.

I also really like the Time Lord's set. I think these are the LFR colours, but whatever, I like this colour scheme the most.

 

[shiftplusone]

Done a bunch of invasions to try and level and I've only leveled once and about 25%, this is pretty shit DPS, it's really not worth it.

I started an azhara invasion at about 75% of 82, and I am at 33% of a level at 83, with 6 minutes played for that level because of the invasions

during phase 3 and 4 I found a pack of dudes that no one else was fighting and did that instead of skulls. I went from 75-82 since tuesday just doing that method, and that's only doing a few a day

Philosophically the Pandaren just don't align to the Horde very well. Some of this is in the really old lore books that are sort of retconned now. But really, the Pandaren should be fairly repulsed by the Undead, at odds with the materialistic nature of Goblins, way of the Blood Elves and their addiction to magic, and put off by how the trolls pervert nature into voodoo.

Don't see them lining up with Dwarves, Gnomes or Humans really, either. (Worgen are just shittier humans)

Night Elf, Tauren, and Pandaren to make their own faction in World of Warcraft: Ballad of the Snakemen

i genuinely don't think that mages have ever had a really outstanding set...except maybe tier 2...and that might just be because most of them are flat-out awful so it seems okay by comparison

Has anyone read the description on Humongris one of the world bosses? It is really fun

Humongris has always had the dream of wielding magic. After finding he had no aptitude in the arcane arts, Humongris settled for instead wielding a wizard. Humongris sought out and captured the mage Padawsen and now wields him as a wand, using threats of violence and a tightening grip to hurl magic around the battlefield.

and here is a pic of him wielding his wand

 

[Zelias]

I dunno for Alliance, for Horde it's outside of Orgrimmar on the route to Bladefist Bay though. I assume for SW it'd be somewhere around the harbor?

Some of his skills are just as great:

Fire Boom – Humongris squeezes Padawsen, forcing him to launch an explosive fire bolt, inflicting 390000 to 410000 Fire damage to all enemies in the area.

Make the Snow – Humongris shakes Padawsen, forcing him to create Blizzards around him, inflicting 250000 Frost damage every 2 sec and reducing movement speed by 50%

You Go Bang! – Humongris squeezes Padawsen until he turns his target into a bomb, which after 12 sec inflicts 800000 Fire damage and increases the damage the target takes by 50% for 35 sec.

 

[NumberThree]

Is it my idea or the extended view distance isn't that noticable? Thought they said view distance is double the old one.

You can be in Dalaran and see Ulduar now. The thing is, old zones still have their thick fog. New Legion zones look better.

Even in the old zones it can be a pretty big difference with specific landmarks. Like you can see the swirly thing in Westfall from Dun Morogh.

And they say Blizzard's writing is bad!

I am doing invasions now and yeah on Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms I see a huge difference but on Pandaria I don't. I was turning it to 7 and 10 all the time and yeah there is a difference but not on Pandaria. Dunno if it is just me or with everyone.

 

[Apathy]

My shaman is 82 and can't see the phased people to get that holy buff, so sad

 

[Inversive]

Leveled a mage to 60, used boost from preorder and enter game, the loading bar stops at the end for like 5 minutes so i alt f4. Log in again and it's stuck on retrieving realm for a while but eventually got back on, still says the mage is 60, try to enter the world to see if it will boost to 100 when it's in game but it loads abit and then says a character with this name already exists and i get booted back to character select. Any help?

So fucking stressed lmao

 

[Tenebrous]

Finally farmed out the Scarlet Crusade tabard. Next time the DMF is up, I'll be on 72 tabards.

 

[Rafy]

Is it just me or did just a bunch of EU PVP servers go offline?

 

[Zelias]

Is it just me or did just a bunch of EU PVP servers go offline?

I got kicked back to character select but got back on straight away.

 

[sora87]

So if you boost a level 60 char with 2 professions not leveled at all they both go max?

 

[Rafy]

I got kicked back to character select but got back on straight away.

The one my main is on (Lightning's Blade) is not selectable.

I knew I should have done the transfer yesterday, but I was too lazy to go put money in my pre-paid....

EDIT:

Seems like they are having issues.

 

[Rösti]

Is it my idea or the extended view distance isn't that noticable? Thought they said view distance is double the old one.

Try experimenting with these console variables:

farclip
horizonStart

Note that certain values require you to set them manually in the Config.wtf file. You won't see any difference if you input really low or really high values in-game.

 

[Zelias]

Hmm, I'm on EU-Kazzak and bar that one being kicked back to character select, it's been fine for me.

 

[Sgtpepper89]

So if you boost a level 60 char with 2 professions not leveled at all they both go max?

Ye I did that with my dk last week. If you forget to learn before boost you also get prechosen ones depending on armor type.

 

[SlickShoes]

This will be the first expac I have not bought, it's been 2 years since I last played.

It keeps gnawing away at me that I should buy it again and jump back in, but ever since my guild disbanded years ago every time I come back I never last longer than 2 months...

You really can't see them lining up with Dwarves?

Although they have been on Kalimdor a short time, the pandaren have already developed a special bond with the Ironforge dwarves. The dwarves are a race that appreciates good ale and a good story, and they have many tell of their own. The pandaren have enjoyed their stops at Bael Modan and the things they have learned of the Alliance, the Horde and the Scourge there. Being a race that honors their ancestors as well, they aid the dwarves in their search for titan artifacts when they can. They believe knowing where one comes from is an important aspect to living a full life. They have also made friends in the half-elves they have encountered, as the half-elves are beginning to adopt the same life-accepting philosophies as the pandaren, and they find them to be ideal traveling partners. Most pandaren have recently arrived on Kalimdor, but there are some that fought in the recent conflicts surrounding Illidan. A number of pandaren were visiting the dwarves of Bael Modan when the call came to the Alliance to prevent the blood elf and naga army traveling to Northrend. To honor their hosts, the pandaren visitors joined the fight. It was during this battle that they formed most of their opinions regarding the other races.

This buff is the greatest. Just using it in invasions and god damn, just so much fun. Inevitable nerf probably on the way I would think today but I sure hope not as I'm getting close to lvl 90 on my DK

 

[shiftplusone]

You really can't see them lining up with Dwarves?

assumed the strip mining of shit would be problematic for them but I dont play dwarves/alliance so I dunno if they even do that. Dwarves died when Muradin didnt

That makes sense, though

I keep seeing posts about a buff what is the buff

It's the holy buff from the table, right? How do you get it before 98?

 

[Zelias]

Yes. And you just go to where it is and it seems to spawn for even low-level players.

The buff itself doesn't scale by level though, resulting in you doing ludicrous damage. I can two-shot named elites with it. If it doesn't get hotfixed today I will be astonished.

 

[Robin64]

Does the buff come with you into instances or is it removed?

 

[Sarek]

Good thing hat you don't lose it when you die either, because that DPS sure draws a lot of agro.

 

[oc]

Comes with you into instances, lasts through death. Doesn't work though, only for invasions.

As Zelias said you can just go there and pick it up. The cauldron buff requires 98 but the holy one is up for grabs for anyone.

 

[Micapo]

Ain't that the truth. I'm leveling a DK so I swooped in on named bosses feeling cocky (or by mistake) way too many times just to get one shotted so the fact it doesn't dissapear on death is so good.

Oh look, invasions have been reset. Here we go again

 

[Lanrutcon]

Lvl 100 DK.

Did the xp potion strat from 91. Saved like, 3 hexweave bags full of invasion chests for 100.

Okay that's pretty funny.

 

[Metroidvania]

Yeah, used up all my rested (and can't buy faster mount speed yet), but went from 61 to 64 and a half just via multi-dotting elites and running away constantly on my Warlock.

Hoping to get to at least 80 before work, lol.

 

[Rhaknar]

welp my sub expired, and even tho ive done most of my trasnmogs this reset, I still want to log in just...because? that itch.

thats a good thing I gues. Oh well, I wont "save" these 2 weeks like I said before, no biggie

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

Considering using my Battletag change...

Have a lot of people on GAF who know mine, but it would make it easier on people in my guild...

Might also open up a new twitch account solely for streaming from.

 

[Rhaknar]

I cant find where to use my BNet balance to pay for my sub, even tho I did it last time. I know I had to do it via the client shop, not the website, but this time I cant find it. In fact, im seeing this in the client shop:

"Note: Subscriptions can't be purchased with Battle.net Balance."

yeeeeeeah except the part where I have that balance because the 2 month pre-paid card I bought didnt give me 2 months of game time like the old days, it gave me 26€ in my bnet wallet.... did they change something recently?

little help?

 

[Robin64]

Purchased one of those cards myself, which added the value to my bnet balance. Haven't had to use it yet, my time isn't up, but that's weird. Especially because on the card it says to use your balance to buy game time.

 

[Kain]

lol I leveled up a whole level oneshotting fools with this trick lolololol

I'm going to abuse this before they remove it xD

lol yeah I actually still have my card (usually would have thrown away already) and it says the same, in Portuguese.

"you can use bnet balance to buy game time"

...WELP

 

[CarbonatedFalcon]

You might have to go through the battle.net store, and buy sub time via that, rather than a the normal subscription process.

thats what I had to do last month, and what im trying to do now and I cant find a way to do it this time around

edit: found it! for those wondering in the future like me, in the bnet client shop, you dont go to subcriptions, you go to services. There, you can "buy game time" instead of adding a sub. Crisis averted! You can even gift game time from here, neat

 

[M.D]

Any deals for game time (digital only)? My sub expires in a few days and I don't feel like paying 70k+ again :s

 

[HarryDemeanor]

You guys weren't kidding about this holy buff. I'm destroying everything.

Inc. 72 hour ban.

whats this now?

 

[HarryDemeanor]

whats this now?

There's some crazy bug right now for leveling 98-100. Or even just clearing invasions in general.

Once you hit 98, pick up the quest before you take the boat over. Org/SW, wherever your city is. You end up getting food/armor/damage buffs. The damage one is a random holy damage proc. I've been 2 shotting mobs for the last hour. Even 25% health of the final boss per proc. It's insane. It only took 21 minutes to get from 98 to 99 just by clearing as much as I could during stage 3.

Try it out. Only works if you haven't started the initial legion quest. You can keep the quest and never finish it and just keep picking up the buffs. This will probably be hotfixed real soon. Luckily I'm about to hit 100 lol

I was able to grab it on my level 32 Draenei Priest. Leveled up 4 times in a single invasion.

 

[strafer]

using exploits in 2016.

shame on you

 

[Ashodin]

The less people know about it the better. This is a nice thing going here. Even more levels!
