it's real weird to me how the crafted relics are so absolutely utterly useless for everything except obliterating. And the blacksmithing ones at least are veeeery pricey to make - infernal brimstone is 6k+ and you need two per relic. Wasn't this expansion in beta for 900 years, how did that get through? I assumed they would be upgradeable but nope.
Mostly just annoyed because I have 845 relics in two slots and an 805 in the other...just having no luck with drops there. I guess it could be worse, our cat druid got 3 840 life relics in 2 dungeons last night.

Yeah, as the number of alts I have grows, the more useful this app will be. Even with two 110's, it's pretty good.
I'm at 15 points into the artifact tree, which is a bit behind the curve because the work monster made me late getting to 110. But anyway, I am using the Icy-Veins recommended path so I do have Wind Strikes. It doesn't look like I'm too far off of the target of Haste rating = 60% of Mastery rating for optimal scaling, so maybe it's just me being too trigger-happy with Crash Lightning even on single target pulls.
The ones I've seen so far are laughably bad. They often come with versatility which is a laughably bad stat, and an 'on use' effect which seems tuned for a previous expansion. Absorbing 300K of damage isn't going to do much when standard bosses hit for just shy of a million!
So Legion has sold 3.3 million copies.

Profession economic balance wasn't testable in beta because all anyone did was sell things for like gold cap, simply because you could copy characters an infinite number of times and generate massive amounts of gold that way. So yeah

Last night I healed a dungeon for the first time.
It went well in the sense that we didn't wipe & completed it in 15 minutes, however people were pretty hard on the fact that my Paladin has no intellect gear & that I was pretty much reading every tool tip to find out what my abilities did.
My Paladin is level 60, from vanilla & I had 2 gold on him. Not sure where I can find healing plate with that budget.
Also, I still don't know what to main (aka Boost) in Legion.
A DH because I like to tank & love the apparent solo survivebility of Blood
A Druid because it does everything?
A Paladin because I get both tanking & healing and awesome lore

I like this.
Look at all those suckers who fell for it again.
Seriously though from my own experience I'm seeing a lot fewer returning players than WoD but far more enthusiasm from the longtime players.
There's definitely been people coming back, but as an example my old vanilla guild was almost completely revived in WoD. Our raid group looked like a roster you'd have seen in 2006, but most only lasted a few months. We still dove right into serious raiding and made decent Mythic progression. Right now there's only a handful of them playing and it's mostly the usual suspects. I don't think they plan to do organized raiding as a guild either.
Meanwhile the guild I'm in now had a decent number of returning players, they might even have too many for a single raid when that comes out. But they were a functional Mythic raiding guild right up until the end of WoD. Everyone is really positive on Legion and I'd imagine they will be more likely to stick around long term.
I can't help but feel that in 2014 there were a lot of old vanilla players waiting for an excuse to jump back in, WoD would have been the perfect time for a 'WoW 2' even if that's probably never going to happen at this rate. Maybe if they prove themselves with Legion they'll attract some of those old players back again. But it kinda seems like they missed a big opportunity and squandered some goodwill.
Our experience has been that this expansion has brought back a lot of players who quit several years ago - people who quit during Wrath and Cata. I'm in that group as well, as are all my close group of friends.
The entire expansion feels like a love letter to Wrath mind you.

The legion app is a bit of a mess.
I keep getting notifications for stuff I've already seen, and it keeps telling me my Fletchery has upgraded and I don't see a menu for those upgrades?
Can't see your character or compare your gear to world quest drops.

820-825 by default; with the chance to proc to 850 (I believe)?
You mean Court of Stars and Arcway? They're only available on mythic, which is 840+ like the other mythics.
Doesn't work. Tried it last week.

You can't do this. Also, I believe Mythic Violet Hold bosses are determined for the week and aren't random.

I had a buggy trinket that was supposed to do extra damage to your target on proc. Instead it did it to a random mob within some large radius. I'm amazed I didn't get kicked from a dungeon. I suspect nobody realised what was happening.
I haven't had too many issues with barrage pulling mobs in dungeons yet. I position myself so I face away from the upcoming adds. There are times where we skip some mobs on the sides and it accidently tags them, but I just do my best to get in a position to avoid it.
Also the new animation is trash.

Grats man, I've yet to do all that well with it.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I'm like hilariously terrible at it. 2 of the 3 times I've tried I've wiped in the first room because even though my dudes aren't set to crazy mode, everything still pulls.
This time I'm gonna be smart. And by "be smart" I mean just do it as Blood so the minions don't even matter and I can solo everything.
Hit Withered Training on my main priest, am 820, am doing OK in heroics and not hungering for Mythics JUST yet. Felt like a good time to take a break and look at alts.
Did DK and DH artifact quests (both were great) and took both to Aszuna for some questing. Love the class fantasy behind the DK, but wow, DH gameplay is on another level. So much fun. The most fun I've ever had as a melee class, which has never really clicked for me before.
I feel pretty weak, but hopefully that'll change with gear.

Also, nabbed a WQ addon to better display them all in a list and allow filtering. It's also correctly displaying all WQs (like Profession WQs!) that the main game still isn't displaying, which is crazy! A must get, guys. Otherwise you won't even know some WQs are up!

really liking unholy except I hate deth coil and I hate having to use deathcoil. But the deathcoil tier of talents seems mandataroy >_<
I *could* use the talent so the abom cleave has a chance for festering wound but that seems like such a dps loss compared to the 30% on next scourge after a death coil.
but I hate deathcoil

Hah that's what I'm doing too. Mining and Skinning and just selling what I get to make cash. Don't really care about crafting, never have.

The leatherworking quest where you have to chase the moose is the worst quest I've ever seen in WoW by quite a distance.

Hah, yeah as a Feral Druid this happens too, though not as bad as Hunter. When the claws start flyin there's a lot of collateral damage.
Yeah, it's pretty brutal

I always find myself fighting way more stuff, lots of wildlife, than I intended Voidwalker aggro, Hand of Gul'Dan, and Demonic Wrath. The amount of fauna around certain mobs makes me rethink lots of encounters, put the Voidwalker on passive, use Shadowflame to pull the stuff I actually want to fight, kite it away from the animals and then go ham.
The unintended animal pulls has been good for gathering cooking supplies though.
Kirin Tor quests are a nice change of pace! That bubble one...whew....
Doing it on my alts and loving life. Feeds herbs to my main, ore/mats to my Engineer alt (if I ever choose to finally get him up) and sell the rest for profit.
