Windwalker Monks are the best.
The best.
No, I'm not biased.
I'm thinking about using mine on a Frost DK, actually.
I don't know what to use my boost on either.
On my main server now (Alliance), I've got:
100 Priest (main)
100 Paladin
100 Mage
100 Demon Hunter
87 Druid
82 Shaman
67 Hunter
65 Death Knight
15 Rogue
10 Monk
8 Warlock
0 Warrior
--
On my Horde server, where they'll languish until cheaper transfers become a thing, I've got a Monk at 55, a Warlock at 90, a Warrior at 87, and a Death Knight at 90.
--
So I'm thinking I boost the Monk or Rogue. I don't know. Probably the Rogue, since I keep hearing how fun Outlaw is, and because the Stealth elements make it one of the most unique melee classes and I don't know much about all of that.
The Monk will be more tolerable to level by far, I think. Especially with the Pandaren rest bonus.

The Frost and Arcane Staff look so much better man. I guess its grown on me a bit but I kept seeing this look and its ugly as sin to me.
This one looks badass though

This is silly, but I have no one to really play with. I'm on Hydraxis - Alliance. Anyone on GAF that plays on that realm?

Have to be lvl 60 first. PIck your professions, then boost for max levels. You got work to do
Yep. If you boost a level 60 character their professions get boosted as well, but otherwise you're starting from the bottom.
The fire mage artifact is very important to lore but overall it does looks meh.....I main ret, and I'm kinda annoyed we get ashbringer....once ashbringer loses its shine or whatever, there essentially goes the last of what made paladins cool at all....and with how we don't know if artifacts will last till after legion it all just adds up.
I also don't like how Tirion died....like one he gets spewed on by a no name demon we will be killing in the first tier as a lolz boss that will be easily killed....like how come thrall or jaina couldn't like I dunno port him out...or make a platform to hit guldan while he talked the usual "I'm so evil" Villain talk.

I was kinda set on which classes to keep leveling, but randomly decide to create a Troll Warrior. A race I had no interest in, and a class I didn't think I'd enjoy. I love it. Fury is amazing. Animations are fantastic and the spec has the best feedback.
The worst part was I went to OG to ask why I couldn't dual wield, not realizing it meant two 2h'ers.

I don't mind the swords, it's the off hand piece that bothers me. A ball on a stick. It's a shame they couldn't make the swirling orbs hover in the palm of the hand. Similar to wizards in Diablo III.
some people can't appreciate setbacks
Well artifacts aren't coming after Legion, they've confirmed that. So I expect actually them to let us create a new artifact out of the broken parts of our old one. WE get to create the legendary weapon. That artifact system took them a while to come up with and I'd like to see them reuse it.
Just let us choose what our weapon looks like (interchange-able parts).
Also, Tirion died ignominiously because that's what the Legion is all about - your heroes will die boring, gruesome deaths because they don't give a FUCK. It's not about oh man Tirion died in the middle of 100,000 demons and killed them all until the Ashbringer gave no more and Gul'dan destroyed him personally
Tirion got his ass handed to him before we showed up at the Shore and was used as a demoralizer - we know this is the guy who took out Frostmourne and helped us beat the Lich King, and here he is getting punked so easily to make us be like "oh shit this is real"
Alright blizzard who decided this was a thing
Be an Enh Shammy IRL
Orbs would definitely match the fire artifact considering where it comes from.
Even if you don't like it
You light enemies on fire and sometimes their corpses burn. It's pretty crazy

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
I would main my mage but he's Horde and Horde is always my alt.
But uh, lighting stuff on fire, having fire orbs over your head, having the best class hall (basically Dalaran's luxury suite)...
I'm tempted, man.
I heard leveling as Frost gets you rep bonuses?

Gonna enjoy just randomly turning things to ash

Felo'melorn looks fine, it's the offhand that sucks. Ball on a stick.
Keep flipping back and forth on what to main, on one hand I've spent an assload of time on my Ret pally... but that rotation is pretty blah. On the other hand, Enh Shammy feels really fucking good, and that's w/o the artifact. At least I can count on server queues and downtime to give me plenty of time to figure it out.

A book jammed through a closed fist (even one on a handle like the lantern offhands) isn't an improvement over a ball on a stick jammed through a closed fist. I had kinda hoped that they would have used the artifact system to implement better offhands for everything that isn't a shield.
I kinda wish WoW Mage offhands looked like the ones in Diablo 3, floating books and crystals over a Mage's open hand.

I remember reading that hunters are getting quivers back. Is this still a thing?

They are part of the marksmanship artifact.
Really?
I havent really touched Ret, but i think Enhancement is much better with doomhammer. Doomwinds really helps smooth out the gameplay by giving you a big chunk of malestrom upfront, Feral spirits becomes a really strong cd, and you get some nice new visuals for puppies, stormstrike, and lava lash.

I've only seen first skin so maybe they go away after that.
Thats awesome. Wheres my ammo pouch for BM then ;_;
I'm an Enchanter on my main priest, and will probably keep that going. I'm contemplating dropping Alchemy for a gathering prof now, since I don't care so much about min/maxing anymore and want to interact with the world more.
It's a painful prospect to consider dropping a maxed profession though...
If I did though, can it be levelled from 1 right in Broken Isles?
I've dropped maxed professions multiple times now on my main. Started out as Leatherworking/Skinning, went to LW/Engineering during Pandaria to min-max for stat bonuses and get Jeeves for the raid, leveled up Skinning again early in Draenor, then everyone was doing double crafter again because of the garrison so I leveled up Inscription. Dropped that just this week and leveled Skinning up to 700 again.
Takes some patience, but it has always put me in the right position for what I was doing.

Legion Elemental Shaman feels kinda weird after spending so much time with WoD Elemental. I don't mind having fewer totems, there were too damned many in WoD, especially once you started tacking on the Elemental summons but it's odd having so few in the baseline kit and I really miss shields.
They added back in water shield as a resto cosmetic but didn't let us keep lightning as a cosmetic.... =/

I'm gonna boost a Forsaken Priest instead of a Shaman I think. I haven't collected the caster weapon transmogs yet through invasions, Shadow is a lot of fun right now and I wanna try out the new Disc.
Podcasts, TV shows, movies. That's what got me through the tedium.
Yeah, I've been binding a fuck ton of podcasts. I don't wanna do any shows cus I feel like I'd miss too much.

Anyone doing mount runs on Horde side for fellow gaffer?

"The fact that Artifact Power rewards from quests and treasures now scale with Knowledge is not a bug.
We started off the design of the system thinking along the exact same lines as many of the posters in this thread: We figured that we should make sure that one-time AP rewards did not scale, or else the "right" answer might be to delay completing key quests or collecting any treasures until you had higher Knowledge. And that didn't sound like much fun."

Important bit is:
"tl;dr: Just get Artifact Power when you find it, as you find it. Enjoy the rewards and the immediate benefit, and you aren't hurting yourself in the long run."

That invasion event toy is eluding me, I want that toy before its price go beyond azeroth
Same as every OT I imagine, 24 hours before release. So...Sunday evening?
This idea of more buttons equals complexity is strange to me. Watching a BM video here at work and the dude says "I actually think stomp is more dps right now but I like to use chimera shot, its one more button and I like the complexity"
Thats not what complexity means! There is nothing complex about using chimera shot, you literally use it as soon as its up, its just another button to press, thats not complex!
If the argument is that its less boring to have more buttons to press, that is fine. But that doesnt make it any more "complex".
If its buttons that you should only use at a certain time or something, that you have to wait to use in a rotation, even if its off cd, I could see how that would add to the class complexity. If its just another button that you press off cd for the sake of it, that isnt complexity imo.

Well site just refuse to load for me but what you're saying is not completing certain quest can give you more artifact power but that in the long run it don't matter?
How does it not matter?
