Apparently they were getting hit by a DDoS attack. Around 7:10am EST the servers and site were down, which was before maintenance even started.

The things I would do to get 2h frost tanking back. Why couldn't DK's just be the tank version of priest, 2 tank specs (blood/frost), 1 dps spec (unholy). With Blood being exactly the same as it is now, and frost more a traditionally tank that instead of a shield uses frost to reinforce his armor.
In my mind frost is would still be my ideal tanking spec. Ah well, it'll never come back..
Sorry, I didn't mean to say I never set foot in Draenor, just specifically for this character ;s
Thanks guys.
It can be. You can make it do a lot of things.
Like, you can have it show the icon of one of your cooldowns only in combat, and when you use it it will show the duration of the buff, and then show you the cooldown timer. Guardian Druid Example from reddit
Yeah, that's one thing that was awesome about the old talent trees, and how it interacted with DKs, is that all three could be tanks. Though inevitably one became better than the other.
I think Weakauras was what I was using last time I played on my moonkin. I had very little time to get acclimated to the game before I was thrown into raiding so it was nice having a bit of help.
I'd completely forgotten what it was called and I had deleted my wow folder. I'll have to look into it for DK for debuff tracking.

Yeah, that's why the Sky Golem still has a decent profit margin. Doing that cooldown every day and popping out a mount once a month was probably my best money maker the last six months (other than garrison gold of course).

So it looks like with the change to salvage crates its safe to ignore everything with Garrisons now.
on the one hand as a longtime tank player I thought that was cool as hell. On the other hand it was a big old clusterfuck.
And yeah I don't remember a lot from back then but I think Unholy was hands down the best at the time. I just really liked how Frost played especially in 5-10 man stuff. My friends are all unstoppable DPS monsters so playing 2h frost tank was like having to think 10 moves ahead of them in order to stay in control. Any lapse in rune management meant trouble but once I could play without panicking I was doing tons of damage and always holding aggro. Them big howling blast crits.
Unless you want some of the old achievements you may have missed, or some transmog from the War Mill/Herb Garden, then yea.

If you have character with tailoring, you could use it to make hexweave bags. That's about it.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I'm so over Garrisons that I can't even put in the minimal effort for that.
What changed with salvage crates?
No longer have a chance to drop player gear (never was high ilevel, just old stuff and 610s for xmog)

The Big Crates have been replaced by Large Crates and the new ones only have resources, mats, and the transmog items that vendor for like 5c.
That old stuff included things removed from the game entirely and really hard to find items.

With you on that one. Even before the prepatch, I was barely doing anything with mine. Once the prepatch was out, I finished off any remaining missions and happily left.

Does anyone have any good recommendations for WoW podcasts? I've already listened to the 4 part story of gul'dan and khadgar.

The last prequest is today, right?
Sure thing... How?
I know of that Wago.io site & Pastebin, but which is easiest, and as it contains code from someone else for FR, how do I not get in trouble for it?
Edit: Could link in game if EU.

The patch IIRC.
Yeah, this. Draenor had the best leveling experience so far. And even the first few weeks at max level were awesome. But Apexis got boring fast. And besides that there was nothing outside.
So, do Draenor at least once.

I'm on right now (having logged on like an hour ago) - no problems. Is it that bad trying to get on right now?
Also, how in the world are you guys doing invasions at level 10....the time to fly and get there, and the lack of a flying mount makes this seem like a slow way to go. Is it really worth it compared to just traditional questing at lower levels?

We should be getting the next step of that quest chain this week.
I thought the next step was just to blink Dalaran to the Broken Isles? Is there a significant chunk that we're getting this week, or is it just a couple quests?

Alright, I got sucked into the hype: I resubbed after being out for years, and bought Legion. Rolled a DH and am loving the opening zone so far.
I'm going to play around with my Worgen MM Hunter, which was my main for years.
I'm thinking of using my boost on a Druid, and going Guardian spec (I love bears). Seems to be pretty top tier for tanking, and always in demand for PVE groups, is that correct?

you do stages 1 and 2, then log out. I did find that doing stage 3 also before logging out isn't that bad. there seems to be enough mobs spawning in the gathering area.. and usually only 5-10 lowbies sticking around.. so at 37 I was still getting like 800-2000 xp per mob.
when you log out (at say stage 3) and log back in, the invasion is reset. So you do all of the stages over again. You don't get the stage clear bonus or the loot boxes, but you still get the decent XP for the first wave, the hefty XP for the second wave (at 38 about 1/2-2/3 level just for that wave alone) and then the decent XP for the third wave. I am usually getting about a level per login doing it this way.
then the two things to remember.. complete stage 4 before you finish or before the invasion goes away (every two hours). Don't want to miss out on that XP. Also, you only have to do this until level 60. Then you get flight (you need both flying and old world flight master) and can do invasions like normal.

Yup, everyone loves tanks and healers.
And there is going to be a ton of groups going "lf tank NO DH".

Unholy and Frost were simplest in WOTLK.
But even thought I did prefer in back then, frost as DPS and Blood as tank, I'd love to still be able to mess around as blood dps and frost tank.

There's only a small amount of "stuff" between where our questline ended already and blinking Dalaran to the Broken Isles.
You have to destroy some magic anomalies around Dalaran, which takes about 3 minutes.

From what I remember we were supposed to get a quest each week. Which would be two chains.
This sounds about right.
