What's importante to me in the end is to enjoy the content.
It doesn't even atter if we keep on raiding on normal until people are better equipped.
We already experienced the thrill of completing the raid, so for me its less pressure now.
Additionally I'll say that I started tanking on this expansion and man, I'm loving it. I'm gonna be a tank for the rest of my wow life, and future mmos.
I'm trying to visualize a warrior in Vanilla saying this haha.

You were the only tank, so not really.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
The new speculation about Unholy hidden artifact is that it required 25+ points spent in the weapon, as everyone who got it so far has that. I've been slacking and am only at 20. Oof.

Awful quest due to the extremely low drop rates but behold, double doggy!
I've been doing Herb/Mining. I appreciate not having to pass up any node that I see on the screen.
tanking in WoW is pretty different from other MMOs. Quite some time ago it was decided that the engaging aspects of WoW tanking were in managing your incoming damage, not aggro generation. Not all MMOs do this, for example FF14 when I was playing was closer to early WoW tanking in that to be effective in dungeons as a WAR I would do things like tab target cycle between 3 mobs in the middle of my rotation. In WoW, threat generation isn't something I really even think about as it's nearly impossible to pull off of a tank even going full throttle from the start.
Of course things like positioning mobs, situational awareness, being the 'leader' and pulling correctly, understanding the limits of your healer are all the same anywhere. So if that's what you're enjoying then playing a tank is a good choice.
well that's horseshit. I'm required to tank and DPS so I level mine equally (both are 21). I clear mythic+ constantly so I get a lot of AP but even if I'd poured it all into Apocalypse I'd probably just barely be there.
Our guild is clearing Normal regularly now. We're still using ML for a 20-30 person raid size (depending on each night's attendance). Is that a mistake? Should we be using personal?
We see between 5 and 6 drops per boss, and have only DE'd one thing so far. (Mail boots that dropped 3x off one boss lol)

you can't put a price on sparks
Personal loot will net you more overall but its like using a shotgun instead of a low-level sniper.
If you guys are still trying to specifically gear people keep doing it. My guild does DKP though so I think we will stick with ML for a while in normal until we just stop doing it at all.
Coming back to WoW after many years off. Can anyone recommend a good professions for a poor returning player? I was thinking mining/enchanting or herb/enchanting.
Basically just looking for a way to make money but also eventually get a profession-based stat boost at end game.

Herbalism/Enchanting. crafted items aren't worth a shit right now, and Herbalism is infinite gold. I started Legion with nothing and am casually sitting on over a million atm, mostly from just selling herbs.
Sweet, doing herb/enchanting. Thanks!
Remind me; are enchants sellable on the auction house now?

Brewmasters buffed?
It does feel kinda bad that Leatherworking (and some other professions as well) is essentially totally useless after the first week. Need some kinda boon for 7.1 or something.

They are. You put the enchant on a Vellum (cheap item from vendors) and you can sell it on the AH now.
Every expac this happens. I just hope it isn't reverted later lol
He turns up in the pally campaign too (and becomes a Champion for us, no less!) - does he only turn up at the end of yours, when we bring him over?
He's the same species as those that became Dreadlords (Nathrezim), but he became infused with Light; the exact details of how that happened haven't (as far as I'm aware) been established, but now he's working with Turalyon and the Army of the Light to push back the Burning Legion.

Well 5% more stagger is nice but it isn't a huuuuge buff considering we are a lil below mid tier currently (tho certainly not nearly as bad as some seem to think). I think this might bring us to a good place. Especially on physical damage 5% can be the difference between life and death.
Besides Brewmasters are almost extinct anyway so nobody probably would be vocal even if we started to perform really well lol.
edit: One ''buff'' I'd like to see for Brewmasters is that Special Delivery wouldn't target mobs that are paralyzed (or CCd in any way I guess) unless there are no other aggroed mobs available.
The better question is why is there still a one million gold cap on bmah bids, because that should be sucking massive amounts of gold out of the system.
Just read the hotfixes. The adjustments for the mythic+ target timers do make sense but I feel like they need to look at Court of Stars and Arcway too. If you go too fast in CoS you trigger the RP at the end which slows you down, but you can also get severely hamstrung by bad RNG on buff items.
Arcway is the other way around in that while the place is a horrible shitty slog it's almost too forgiving on the timer. We had multiple wipes on a keystone in there, and at the start of the dungeon went the wrong direction because we didn't realize the doors shifted when you start the keystone. We still got 2 chests easily.
edit: can't watch videos here. Is Necrotic up this week? Fuck.

You pretty much had first dibs on gear and received pots, raid help items for free. It really wasn't a bad gig.
Hahaha, of course.
For the most part, XIV tanking (at least since Second Coil so like 4 raid tiers?) has basically been negligible threat management outside of on-pull and/or when DPS min/maxing and mechanics-based mitigation use. AoE threat is mostly a non-issue in dungeons. I think a lot of tanking in general has gone more into the threat as a by-product of what you're doing so it's mostly a "hitting thing or not" binary check.
Yeah, Withered J'im is not a great fight.
Bleh, I'm not really a fan of this system where the keystone you get from your order hall box comes pre-upgraded, with no way to downgrade it. Still plenty of loot to be had from +2s, and I had a lot of fun trying to optimize our time but the game won't let me unless I try to mass carry people with +2 stones. I wonder if I did a regular mythic before opening my box if I could get a +2 that way...
Either way I wish you could choose (and maybe even pay) to de-level your mythic keystone.

my data on that game is, like, 2013-2014 heh. It wasn't exactly tab target sunder armor levels but I definitely remember needing to do some tab targeting gymnastics with my 3 hit combo to be absolutely sure that BLMs abusing Flare wouldn't pull off me during dungeon speedruns. But yeah it makes sense to me that they'd follow WoW in that respect over time.
I saw a Ghostcrawler post on mmo-champ yesterday where he talked about having to gear for threat and finding that interesting, I totally get where he was coming from even if not everyone agrees. In vanilla WoW I was that crazy tanking bear druid and I was able to out-aggro warriors several times over due to silly scaling on Maul. I did similar things in BC and loved my max agility-gear offtank role.
Meanwhile nowadays as a Blood DK, Death and Decay alone will keep a mob's attention, to say nothing of all the other damage I'm putting out nonstop. I honestly want to see what the Skittish affix is like just because I haven't had to think about aggro at any point for even a millisecond.
Our plan tonight was to run a quick regular mythic before opening the box. Do you not get a level 2 from that?
I am pretty sure the stone will still be upgraded. It doesn't matter where it came from, what matter is your highest Mythic+ you cleared in the previous week.

Unfortunate, but I'm trying to reach out to the people I run with to tell them not to open their boxes and check tonight when we run a quick mythic. I will probably appreciate this when I am ilvl 950 and doing +20 regularly, but for right now I just wish I could do +2s without having to kick someone out of our 5 man group to carry pugs through.

Yea not sure what the fuck they were thinking with that fight it was awful. Got 870 cape and 860 headpiece though so can't complain! We should be going to 3 world bosses next week right?
While I agree it'd be great to keep +2s to easily spam, I do still hold out for some way of farming the low level ones less enticing over spamming higher ones. And while not heavy handed forcing the situation somehow.
I want to say I basically started playing around when you quit, actually? Somewhere around that time period since I remember mentions of the name in GAF Mumble back in the day. Yeah, leveling is still some good habits of rotate threat combo but it's pretty free threat . Which is fine, really? I think I prefer not having finicky target swapping mechanisms at this point unless the interface makes it a super easy situation to read and use. As long as they keep doing more fight-related things to being wary of while constantly doing your damage / mitigation stuff then it's mostly fine.
I do agree on the Skittish bit though. It'll be nice to have to wonder about it at least as far as how pulls are paced. I just hope it doesn't lend towards "skittish week, everyone go ranged instead" or other gimmicks to ignore it.

Every time I look at Violet Hold I just question how this happened.
Edit: Withered Jim + PvP server = Life is shit
Not only does the world boss drive entire zones to a laggy mess, but he resets
Very easily. Basically if anyone is outside the cave and near enough to get aggroed by his AOE. He resets.
For those who are also finding the Kirin Tor WQs bugged - delete your Cache folder and log back in. You still won't get to see the puzzle blocks 'registering' as you step on them, but you'll be able to finish the puzzles.
