Yeah, though for hybrids its probably not that different to how its always been. My offspec gear has generally always been behind my main spec until maybe the end of a tier when all the main spec healers have gotten everything they wanted.

I don't mind the Demonology changes as much as some do once I spent time with it. It's very predictable, but I don't have a huge issue with that.
My problem with it is that you have to life tap for mana. That you can go out of mana. And I've never, ever found relegating mana usage to be fun. On the flipside, Shadow Priests, Balance Druids, Elemental Shaman, and Fire Mages are just like 'lol what mana'

Mages in particular are bullshit.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Warlocks are literally the only DPS class that has to worry about mana, with one exception. That exception being the mage spec that is designed specifically around mana as a core mechanic and not just a "you are out of mana, time to waste a GCD!" annoyance.

you can't put a price on sparks
I can't understand why every class has a secondary resource thing now but I guess mana isn't that exciting anymore for blizzards game design
I think the weird thing is they all act the same almost. Fill up the bar by using free abilities and deplete the bar with others.
For the first time I feel like I can actually understand how to play my alts
Kinda fits considering all 3 warlock specs feel like they're not really finished design wise.

They really do. It's like Blizzard sort of forgot about the class in general during the alpha and then a few days ago noticed the forums and went "OH SHIT uhh right I know we forgot to do something!"

If you use Masque as well you can skin your weakauras to have a certain look/theme. Either all of them, or specific ones. Though there's probably enough flexibility in WA to make a nice border without using Masque.

Oh good. They finally fixed the stuttering when logging into the game.
exactly... for hybrids the tax is basically the same. but for mages, warlocks, rogues, etc... this basically introduces a hybrid tax for EVERY class.

Well, I was able to get in one invasion before the DDoS and I have to go to work anyways. Almost got the priest to 40 already.
Even for pure DPS classes there's often a barrier to spec swapping based off stat priorities. Given how easy it is to keep two specs up with each other it doesn't seem that bad to me.
Yeah Masque was just suggested to me by a guildy, and while it does look very good (with lots of skins to choose from), it seemingly doesn't work on my rage/ironfur bars (which is where I want it the most).
You look beautiful as it is -DDoSer
I think you only need level 1. Word on the street is that the world quests unlock at skill level 300 though.
you need 300 to get profession world quests, but to actually level them you can do it from 1
I dont know much about the zones but Stormheim is the viking style one right? that seems to be the most in common with the BM artifact so ill start with that /shrug
How are warlocks for PVP and PVE DPS? I'm trying to decide what class to play after not playing since Wrath. My list is Rogue, Warrior, Warlock, DK. I have about an 80 of each class, except Monks. They aren't interesting to me, though.
Priorities are PVP with some raiding. The most fun to play is most important to me. I'm leaning towards using my preorder boost on a Warlock since my only lock is 60.
Also, I like soloing content, a lot. I used to solo Dire Maul with my lock in vanilla wow.

I was going to do Azsuna first, but I kinda want the jump/glide toys in Highmountain to make travel faster, so I may go there first instead.
The reason I am going to do Stormheim first is because it starts with a scenario and since scenarios are instanced for your character they cannot lag therefore if there is lag in launch you avoid it by going to Stormheim first. That is the reason I am going first there......
Randomly doing heroics with my hunter and seeing the DHs zoom away while I'm running my ass off and catching up only after they stop to destroy a group of enemies just to zoom away again I find myself wondering: did they weaken most classes movement just to make DH feels that much more cool?
From what I've seen Warlock is in a strong place for PvP. Affliction usually tops DPS and the survivability is up there too. Probably fine for PvE too but a lot of that stuff is still in flux.

I love Pokken!
That, plus it continues the Forsaken/Gilneas plotline. So my Undead Mage will do that first.
Yup.
I did the first few quests on my Shaman and right away wanted that to be my first zone.
I still don't think DH is top mobility, unless vertical space is involved. For PvE they also are stuck using mobility tools for their basic damage rotation. Monk mobility still comes out on top, though Rogues and Warriors are also up there. Class homogenization in the past gave too many tools to classes that were supposed to lack mobility. These classes make up for that with utility or increased defensive tools.
I know it's been asked and answered 1000 times but can nothing really be done to stop DDOSing before it starts? Sheeeeeiiittt
And even with arcane mages, they regenerate mana fast enough that if you're not actively trying to burst like a madman you don't have to worry about it. Hell their mastery increases their mana regen and their mana pool.

This is why I took the day off Friday instead on Tuesday.
My favorite looking Zone. All the MoP zones are nice except Townlong Steppes. That one is just meh.
DDOS attack cannot be prevented. Not that I know of.
What I don't understand, is why Blizzard says it is the ISPs that are targeted !? It is clearly not as I can do everything with my ISPs beside playing WoW when they are targeted by DDOS.
i feel like MoP was when they really mastered the tech for the landscape, they went from everything being sort of rolling hills to being a much better depiction of tof the geological formations they're supposed to represent.
I might be wrong but starting with cataclysm they were able to paint or tint the textures directly, but it's really starting with pandaria they could really do that effectively. I guess tablets and stuff came handy.

Blew my mind back then
Yeah I don't like it that much either, on top of being jsut a color swap of dread waste (or the other way around). Those two were only one zone at first iirc, and then split, with Towlong almost being cut.
