So what's the main difference between the two threads?
Thought I saw something where this thread is more for the community here and the newer thread is for all the re-subbers like me?

Usually gaming side threads for WoW ends up with hating on the game or some shitposting about how it was back in vanilla. Community OT is usually a bit more relaxed

I'm wondering how viable Survival Hunter will be as a spec in Legion. I enjoy the combat and feel of the class and it's nice to have something "different" to enjoy w/ my hunter I've had since launch however I worry w/ artifacts being so labor intensive that I'll be "locked" into surv. and find out groups/raids don't want us and be behind the curve to level a BM/MM artifact.
All are welcome in here and it'll last longer than the gaming-side thread most likely. Also what Tecnniqe said.
Just easier to have a long-running megathread as opposed to staying in one for a specific expansion.

Cool, makes sense, thanks!
Resubbers are totally welcome here.
Gaming side threads tend to attract shitposting about the state of current WoW vs 'the good old days' (usually vanilla WoW) and tend to be hyperbolic and argumentative.
Here we're pretty chill and focused on talking about the game as it currently is and helping each other out with advice and such.
Edit: Also yeah what Fjordson said, the Legion OT will eventually burn out. This thread and its successors will always be around even during the lulls in between patches or expansions.
I'll post in the OT some, but this is where most of us will post.

Pics? Whats the mousepad look like?
We talk about the actual game in this thread.
You can do two different artifacts leveled about even with little to no loss. Survival is cool but their utility sorta blows for five mans, and in raids it seems hard to justify their presence over other melee. I'm still going to push it up second after my Warrior and see what happens though, because it's a lot of fun for me.

That's the thing:
Fun vs Actually being useful.
Despite all the changes to hunter across the years I've always enjoyed it. It was always fun. I enjoy BM and Surv right now. But that BM artifact looks like a quest green. And I'm a stickler for art style. And I really enjoy gameplay w/ Surv.
But I don't wanna lose out on raiding at any point when people think exactly what you've pointed out: What's the point of bringing a surv hunter when they're squishy and I have FAR better melee classes as an alternative.
Yeah I'd been waffling between Monk and Druid tank but that put me over the edge. Also factoring in was that Monk gear is generally kinda uggo, even though they are super fun.
It makes the choice harder, especially with how improved the Guardian rotation is (I love Moonfire procs), but main swapping is such a colossal pain for me since I grind reps/etc. I don't think I could ever swap again.
Flavor and how they are configured
Both can really do it all for the most part.
Saber Slash, Pistol Shot, Run Through and Between the Eyes are your rotation in theory, but you have Roll the Bones as well as Blade Fury to always keep track of as well as Adrenaline Rush
Not to mention your sprint and heal and grapple and about a million damage reduction and disables
Edit: Did I forget to mention Marked for Death and Cannonball Barrage? There's even more active abilities I could take as talent and I literally have no idea where I could put them.
I have a mouse with 16 side keys the using the second row of buttons is already not that comfortable
The BM hidden appearance is one of my favorites and easy to get at least. 90% chance I would just transmog any gun to the WoD CM one though. When I try to think of avoiding mechanics on SV it's just like...ahhh...no thanks...
Yeah, most of my rep grinding has been done on my old ally Priest main, but I'm Horde now and main a DK. And I don't really want to grind that rep all over again but it does really bug me.
A cursory glance at the Wowhead Engineering guide for Legion suggests the first Engineering quests are in Azsuna.
Thanks! Read somewhere its Stormheim so I'm glad I asked here as well.

Do Nethershards go away once the expansion is released?
?
Might show up in the future again.
hmm interesting
They don't go away, per se, they'll still be in your currency tab but they aren't Broken Isles currency. You don't earn or buy anything with them on the Broken Isles. They're strictly pre-launch currency.
It's "fifteen minutes until launch? Fuck it I'm buying a digital copy" time
Is it release day delivery? If so, then you're probably still good. I've had games ship Monday night and still get to me Tuesday afternoon.
Stormheim is supposedly the hardest zone, so keep that in mind. If you have good gear at level 100, it's not a bad idea to start there, but it might be crowded since many guides recommend it.
I redid a lot of my Shaman's reps on my Monk, but some stuff can't be redone (Zandalar) and some are too insane for even me to redo (Ravenholdt)

Legion cut scene spoilers warning by the way, it uses a few scenes obviously from Legion quests
I was going to start there because I assumed the BM artifact quest was there (themetically t least), is it not?

oh shit
I'm still expecting Azsuna to be the most crowded with how many profession quests lead there. Hard to predict though.
You get your first Artifact before you start questing in the Broken Isles zones proper. It might take you there, but you won't start the Stormheim quest line until after you finish that first Artifact.
I hit 110 around the time I was starting the fourth zone. That was over a week or two though, so I had rested exp. I also did all the sidequests, profession quests, class hall quests, etc.
half the classes have their 103 quest there as well
not interested in the gaming side thread so will only be posting here most likely moving forward, about to start my legion nap, see everyone on the other side
no but you need to do all 4 zones for mechanics purposes anyway (for example you need friendly rep with all 4 factions, one from each zone, you need to finish the story campaign to unlock something in Suramar, etc)
BM hunter because im a scrub and dont know how to play the game and should have my account deleted for being such a bad according to youtube sensation Preach
Nice. I love new questing zones, so the more it takes the better for me.
Ah okay, cool.

Good luck on your legendary drops.

So I'm on Emerald Dream realm, which is a high population one... Does that pretty much guarantee that I'm going to have to wait to log in tomorrow?
I'm only on this server because my brother wanted us to be on the same one.

Im going main shadow priest, restoshammy main alt, dk blood and ww monk for shared 3rd place mainly just to try keep the alts artifact research going until I want to play them.
Havoc. Maybe Veng if necessary but I'd prefer Havoc. First alt will be Outlaw Rogue, then Unholy DK, then either Fire Mage, Shadow Priest, or Prot/Ret Paladin.
Regardless of what I go with after the DK, I'll get all three of them up and running eventually.
