What buff are you guys talking about? I've tried to go back and find it in the thread but can't. Can it help my (now) 41 Warrior? =O

Holy Enchantment

It is the buff you get before heading off to do the Broken Isles raid quest. You can get it at seemingly any level because if you haven't done the quest you get phased in to the invasion area. So if you just go to the docks at Stormwind or wherever it is for Horde, you just grab the weapon buff.

 

[Skab]

they do. just unlucky I guess. Just got the caster sword on my first green chest on the mage /shrug

apparently all i had to do was complain about it on gaf.

just got a bow lol

 

[Faith in Fate]

I believe I heard somewhere that the 1-20 paragon part of the weapon will take forever to level, the AP needed is exponential. Like a year or 2 is what the vid said, not sure if its been updated lately though.

How will this be handled for people wanting to max out several specs (like druids)?

Note that even though it has been nerfed, it's still really strong - just not strong enough for you to completely destroy minibosses solo. Well worth picking it up.

Agony and suffering over extended periods of time, slowly sapping your will to live and driving you towards the inevitable demise of your sanity.

Yeah, it is still super good.

You can max out all the traits and skills, but the paragon part is a super time/AP sink I believe.

 

[Tacitus_]

AP is scaled per weapon, so you'll get more out of your points when spending them on a weapon with less upgrades. Though you probably won't never max out the sink talent for every weapon.

 

[Nere]

You forget that you can research artifact knowledge which will raise your AP gain by a huge amount.

Yeah, I probably will about month 10 or 11 into the 7.3 raid =p

The Paragon traits are just tiny boosts like 0.5% more damage done per point. You don't need to get them immediately, they're just meant to be a small boost over the course of the expansion.

rogue has had a string of great looking tier set

it's very unusual. it's usually one or two good sets then two or three shit ones

Almost 12 years later and Bloodfang is still the best set ingame.

Felblade's better than Bloodfang tho

 

[cdyhybrid]

Bonescythe is still in game so this is false.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Tier 2 everything is still the best

Except Druid. That honor goes to Tier 3

Tier 1 Paladin wins maximum shit tier award

 

[Rhaknar]

today I tried Volley for the first time.

today I found out I love volley

it doesnt fit the gun motif of BM tho, and apparently the crow is still better because it scales from the pet mastery, but I hear volley is still competitive, and damn if it doesnt look cool seeing those arrows fall down as you attack.

edit: Bloodfang is tier 2 not tier 1

 

[Xeteh]

Tier 3 Felheart > Nemesis imo

 

[Ashodin]

All rogue and DK sets are maximum edgelord tho

 

[Rhaknar]

Tier 3 Felheart > Nemesis imo

u wot m8?

 

[Xeteh]

u wot m8?

The original Felheart is probably still my favorite set in the game. Sadly I played Rogue in vanilla.

 

[sora87]

They really need to patch in allowing mounts inside older raids, make it less of a time sink getting from boss to boss. Also it's a shame you can't just claim other classes loot for their appearences.

 

[Rhaknar]

wait are you talking about tier 3 or tier 1? because felheart is tier 1

tier 3 was plagueheart

 

[erawsd]

Huh the more I try to learn about professions the more confused I get. It seems like they've said that you can gather/make everything from skill level one and that higher skill levels reduces the number of required materials or increases your output? Surely there is some kind of level requirement in terms of training or learning recipes though or you wouldn't need to bother leveling your profession or character up. The other thing I'm confused about are these profession quests. Are they intended to be the primary way you get recipes or is that just the way that you upgrade recipes you buy from the trainer (and is this different from the bonus you get with a higher skill level)?

Basically, if I'm a level 100 alchemy alt, what do I need to do in order to be able to craft the standard potions/flasks that my main might need. Do I need to level up before I can even train in Legion Alchemy or have profession tiers been completely removed? Do I need to do a bunch of alchemy quests to get the recipes to make the potions, and if so, how are those quests obtained? Heck, do I even need to be level 100 if I can craft all the Legion recipes from skill level one in the first place?

I get the normal limitations like BOP materials that are needed for high-end recipes or special recipes that are locked by reputations and things of that nature.

From what I've seen the profession quests are how you get many (but not all) the rank 1 recipes. The profession quests are level gated so you'll need to level up to acquire them, I dont think you get the first one until level 102. Getting rank 2 and 3 has other requirements such as rep, dungeons, world quests, ect that mostly require a 110 char. Profession skill doesnt really matter, though some professions seem to have an item or two that cant be crafted unless you are 800 though, for Alchemy youll need 800 to make Cauldrons.

I am about to start playing WoW again for the first time in a few years. Does GAF have a general server most are on or is everyone spread out?

no

 

[Xeteh]

tier 3 was plagueheart

Yeah, I'm dumb. My bad.

 

[Data West]

All rogue and DK sets are maximum edgelord tho

you seemed to have mixed rogue up with warriors and warlocks. an easy mistake.

 

[Artanisix]

t3 paladin is best set tbh, wish i could get the bmah lookalike for my dk

 

[strafer]

plagueheart is the ugliest tier set by far.

 

[Xeteh]

Aw man you're crazy. I leveled a Warlock hoping I could get some of it at some point and never did. I wish they left old Naxx in, I don't have the money to compete for it on the BMAH

 

[Data West]

bloodfang looks better with slayers shoulders

bloodfang not even good enough to stand on its own. its just the helm.

 

[King Gilga]

lol @ people using vanilla tier and thinking they still look acceptable when they have N64 level textures, so bad they almost make my eyes bleed.

Speaking of which, the perma vanilla high warlord's shield defensive stance gives you is a total bummer, it should either only show up for a couple of seconds after you stance change or they should let you transmog it somehow, and lets not even mention those horrible purple shield icons perma rotating around you. I had to change my t mog just to match it that thing.

Though in all honestly that shield has aged rather well, but still, using it for a talent is as bad as DK's vanilla abomination talent. Lazy.

At the very least my warrior isn't alliance, I'd probably rather commit suicide than try to match that tacky ass shield.

More like Dreamcast but whatever.

we have a lot of trash blood elf players on this OT so they probably can't tell with their squished textures anyways tbh

No, no, no

The wings look is TERRIBLE

da gawds

Also MoP SoO Tier is good too

 

[Chie Satonaka]

This is the first time I haven't bought a physical WoW expansion @midnight on launch day from Walmart, so I'm not sure if this is a thing, but do they offer grace periods or anything like that for people who are waiting for their keys?

I won't be able to play until Monday afternoon. Not a huge deal, but it'd be fun to jump in with everyone else at Midnight like I usually do.

 

[Data West]

da gawds

i'm sorry, who you calling an edgelord?

 

[King Gilga]

i'm sorry, who you calling an edgelord?

That set is a lot of things but edgy is not one of them.

Nope.

 

[strafer]

wheres the banana paladin set?

 

[Fularu]

Warrior T6 is the best looking set, period.

 

[Mupod]

what the hell, is there really no way to gift a preorder of any blizzard game? Ran into this with Overwatch and now again with this one.

Ah, very much appreciated, that makes a lot more sense now.

 

[Ashodin]

I'm the caped crusader with that set

you see what I did there

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Nope.

I figured. Oh well.

I'll play some KoF and not worry about it too much.

 

[Ashodin]

Warrior T6 is the best looking set, period.

Is this you?

 

[Rhaknar]

Is this you?

Its me tho. Well except that sword and shield. In my day, stuff was just cool. There wasnt all these millenial labels. Reminds me of everyone calling antropomorphic animals "furries".

This isn't furry damn it

Get off my lawn you damn kids

 

[Azzurri]

Tier 8 besides helm, too creepy for me

 

[Orochinagis]

After a two groups of turtle fishing I got both mounts . that was pretty fast considering it took me years in northtrend to get nothing
