Support NeoGAF

The thing is, there's lots of potential solutions to this that I can see, but I'm not aware of any real precedence for this sort of thing, so I'm curious how Blizzard would do it:

* Remove all weapons drops from Timewalking dungeons for all levels
* Implement changing loot tables based on participant level
* Just not care and have weapons drop that aren't of use for 100+ players
* Something else.

It would probably take too much effort for the payoff, but a solution could be to have a timewalking vendor that allows you to swap 101+ TW weapon drops for artifact relics? Relics pretty much take the place of weapon drops entirely in Legion, so it would make sense. Or just make 101+ timewalking dungeons drop relics in place of the weapons? The code for that shouldn't be too hard, as TW dungeons already check what level you are when you get loot anyway. I would hope that A flag that says "if level over 100, drop relics instead of weapons" shouldn't be that hard to implement.

Alts shouldn't be able to match main characters progress for less effort.

The character you spend the most time playing should be the most progressed, yeah. Catch-up mechanics are important to keep them reasonably viable, though.

Firelands transmog is just so good.

firelands seems weird. Some are great, some are awful. but hey its a easy get. I actually got a few, shaman, pali and hunter look good imo. hated mage and lock. DK was ok but didnt buy it. Warrior is ok aswell.

One good thing about the t13 vendor is that it has belt and boots that match the normal color, so again its good for completing the transmogs easily. Oh and the tier is missing shoulders AND legs, I didnt notice legs before because on casters the robe covers it

Wrath and Cata have the best look Tmogs

 

[Anoregon]

Firelands has by far the worst DK set in the game and that bothers me. A lot of the other stuff is pretty cool, though.

TBC has a lot of good designs, but they are relatively low quality/low poly compared to more recent stuff which is a shame. I certainly wouldn't be upset if blizz released updated versions of like Tier 6 or earlier gear.

 

[Robin64]

I like the Firelands paladin set, but I don't use the chest as I just hate kilts on my paladin. The trousers look good anyway.

 

[StMeph]

I'm really failing to explain myself! Let's try to break it down:

* No weapons will drop in Legion; we are using artifacts throughout.
* Timewalking dungeons currently can drop weapons.
* They are likely to continue to drop weapons going into Legion, because people below 100 can do Timewalking as well.
* I think it's unprecedented to have loot tables that vary based on the participant's level. I may be wrong on that.
* Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that if you're over 100 and go into a Timewalking dungeon, you may get a weapon drop that is of no use to you.

I'm not seeing why that matters. It's the same as if your ilevel was already high enough to eclipse the gear that drops in Timewalking anyway. You also may want it for transmog. Otherwise it's the same DE/vendor junk as any other loot you've already outgrown.

Edit:

I like the Firelands paladin set, but I don't use the chest as I just hate kilts on my paladin. The trousers look good anyway.

Depending on race/gender combination you can sub the Warrior-lookalike chest + legs from the same Firelands set. Gloves + boots personal preference to use Warrior or Paladin set. The color schemes are pretty close to each other, and the patterns are also similar enough to fit together. It just doesn't work well on female models because it bares the midriff for no reason.

Then I want a complete artifact respec every time they rebalance my class.

 

[King Gilga]

I almost feel like that's a bug/unintentional. Runeforges are a part of the DK kit and their overall strength is balanced with them in mind. It's a pretty dumb move to deactivate them in PVP.

You might be right.

They're sure taking their fucking time fixing it though.

You're supposed to be able to complete the tree in a few months but you decide the path you'll take.

Thanks.
I am torn between Guardian and Prot Warrior

 

[Auctopus]

Can't decide who I want to use the 100 boost on...

Outlaw Rogue
Fury Warrior
Some sort of Warlock

Played Hunter for the majority of my WoW time through WOTLK and Cata.

Have you seen the Throne of Thunder DK set? I actually like the firelands bat wing helm lol.

Show me the best Warrior transmog you can find

 

[Tecnniqe]

actually tier 13 with gold is just a couple of classes, not all. Like there will be 2 cloth sets, 2 plate sets, etc. they are just lookalikes. Leather lookalikes seem to be rogue and druid t13

for cloth it seems to be warlock and priest (again, minus the shoulders). for plate warrior and DK I think. Still neat if youre missing certain pieces. This only goes for Normal colors.

for T12 (again, normal colors only), the whole set per class is there. I just got the hunter set, actually looks better than I expected. Lock and Mage sets look awful tho, not buying those. Theres actually some good looking cloaks to buy there aswell

the vendors are the old valor vendors in Stormwind old town. These guys:

edit: DK T12 isnt bad, no T12 for Monk /cry

Nice shoulders you got there >

T3 + Corrupted Ashbringer

 

[Data West]

Wait what does shadowy inspiration do besides make shadowbolt instant?

Demonic Empowerment has a slightly faster cast time than Demonbolt. The way I initially looked at the new Demo was pooling resources and maximizing your use of Demonic Empowerment with the most demons up. But because Empowerment makes your DB/SB instant, you can justify the downtime of using your Empowerment with every summon.

Your empowerment also effects your 4 piece demons too which is pretty significant to how important it is above all other abilities

 

[Rhaknar]

you know what I need to do? What I in fact did to my warrior recently and then for some reason forgot to do a pass on every character?

Check what glyphs there are these days. They mostly change your abilities appearences and shit but some of the stuff is neat

edit: or I would if there were any glyphs in the AH. wtf, what happened to all the scribes :/

Tier 6 aka the GOAT

 

[Tacitus_]

Alts shouldn't be able to match main characters progress for less effort.

Sure, but previously you could just run the same content for the same gear. I'd run mythic raids on my main, normal or heroic on my alts and they'd keep up. Now I also have to "do stuff" to keep them up on artifact power instead of a one time investment on learning the fights. Or when I wanted to switch specs, I'd just grab a couple pieces of gear and I could play it to a reasonable level.

 

[carlsojo]

Pandaria has some great mogs too. My paladin has the jade tiger green set and my warlock has the robes of creation with matching shoulders.

 

[King Gilga]

Anything pre wrath is too low rez to bother with at this point.

Info on this please? Looks great.

ICC warrior tier other than the skirt which looks like the paladin ICC skirt.

 

[Lanrutcon]

Warrior set from ICC. Normal is golden, heroic is red.

That plate kilt and matching chest also drop from the same raid.

Basically, your one stop shop for looking awesome.

That's not an unreasonable request if they significantly change a spec during the expansion.

We'll have to see how this whole artifact thing works out

My Warrior is also a Draenei. Ferocious looking fellows.

Draenei in plate with their hooves sticking out look dumb.

I'm going right for that hoof.

 

[phierce]

Draenei look dumb.

Fixed.

 

[CraigerGamer]

Does the shaman cast time eventually get shorter? Like, how quickly does this happen (if it does?) I like the idea of shaman but if casting take this long I'm not sure its a class I'll stick with.

 

[Rhaknar]

those hoofs have seen some shit. They are harder than plate

Ultimately I'm with you, but I didn't want to open that can of worms.

 

[ChoklitCow]

Resubbed. Haven't touched it since foundary. As is the recent tradition of shelving this game and coming back after a long period of time, I have no idea where to begin.

This time, however, it feels even more daunting than in the past.

On the 9th, the prelaunch event starts. Use it to gear up. For now? ...transmogs! mounts! pets! cheevo hunting!

 

[Interfectum]

These audio dramas are fucking great. Blizz needs to inject some on this storytelling into their actual games.

Not sure how or why, you've missed even less in between than was usual in the past.

Just ignore everything until invasions and Demon Hunters drop next Tuesday (Aug 9), since that's when the real pre-expansion patch content begins. And just do that until you're tired and ready for Legion.

Also farm old raids, get yourself some old new transmogs.

 

[M.D]

They are all pretty awesome looking, but I choose you!
What is this set?

Also, un-related but is anyone else having issues keeping aggro (raiding) with a Guardian druid?

For what, Elemental? Cast times are around 1.5 seconds and you have instant cast spells pretty freely available between Lava Burst, Icefury/Frost Shock, and Earth/Fire Shock. Cast times can go down to a little over a second with stuff like Elemental Mastery buffs.

 

[King Gilga]

PVP just feels so shallow now on enhance, you just press damage buttons and sometimes purge, HS isn't even worth casting it heals for so little.

No grounding really removes any skill involved. I miss my totems.

 

[SargerusBR]

Pfft...Draenei best Alliance Race son! (along with Worgen), go back to your generic humans, elves and gnomes

I just started the new character. I think the first spell you get is lightening of some sort. I also got a weapon as an item drop for the 2nd quest but it just stays on my toons back while I take forever to spam my single spell. I don't mind spamming as long as it gets better and the cast time can be improved over time.

 

[jaundicejuice]

They changed the low level Shaman, instead of that weird nascent form that basically had a skill from each spec--Lightning Bolt, Primal Lash and Healing Surge--now you're just an Ele Shaman with Lightning Bolt, Earth Shock and Fire Shock with both Maelstorm and Mana resources. Low level Shaman gameplay is still just spamming Lightning Bolt from 1-10. The only thing that changed is you occasionally use Earth Shock instead of Primal Lash for most of the brief ride from 1-10. They've gotten rid of the nascent versions of the classes and basically just make you play one spec from 1-10. For example Warlock is now Affliction 1-10.

 

[Rafy]

Hey guys, I am returning to WoW after a year or so of not playing and I am looking to roll a new character.

I need some advice on choosing an EU PVE realm to use for my new toon. I also wanted to know if there is an EU casual and social GAF guild since I'd like to finally try raiding after years of never having done so. If not, do you have any suggestions for these types of guilds? I play Frost Mage and plan to also roll a Havoc Demon Hunter.

The reason I am asking is because when I came back to the game 5 or so years ago, I followed the (bad) advice of a friend and moved my main on a PVP server.

I eventually would like to move my main to the new realm that I pick if things work out with the new toon.

Lastly, I always played with the default interface and now that I am looking to improve as a player I was thinking of getting a proper UI with all the DPS meters and the rest of the bells & whistles. What do you guys think?

I've seen quite a few of them now and I like the look of the ElvUI, but felt instantly overwhelmed from the different options when I searched for it on Curse.
