World of Warcraft |OT8| CITIZENS OF DALARAN

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.

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.

The weapons will still drop I'm sure, if only because Blizz will probably be too lazy to remove them. They just won't be useful if you have your Artifact, which is fine IMO. TW gear is useless already if you have HFC gear (even LFR level).

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.

You might just not enjoy spell caster dps specs. Maybe try out Enhancement? It's a melee dps spec for Shamans

You can even get Baleful token gear from Tanaan that's better ilvl-wise than TW Vendor gear. They have toys and mounts to keep people doing TW dungeons past pure gear gains.

as much as its cliche as fuck (as most of what Blizzard does is lets be fair), Illidan is still a cool ass looking motherfucker.

He's got that 90s edginess going for him which I love.
Click to expand...

its like, you can make fun of Reaper (and I sure did), but at its core, its still a cool looking character. Again, edgy and cliche as fuck, sure, but he still looks cool. Same for Illidan.

or Arthas really.

I actually did BT earlier on my Warrior for T6, you still kill Illidan... well, I mean I guess they can retcon that he was unconscious and Maiev took him prisioner I guess, but nothing in that fight (or post fight) suggest that.

Ive actually been meaning to ask, ill tag this just in case someone wants to go in to Legion completely blind (no pun intended lol), is
Illidan even in Legion besides the DH starting zone
?

People make fun of Reaper because he hasn't earned his edginess yet. Most of us have known of Arthas and Illidan for years, maybe even when we wanted to be edgy ourselves.

In time Reaper will earn his stripes.

That Wrath of the Lich King login screen song that was used during the short tho around 1:56 mark :D

So freaking good.

Legends of Azeroth is it called, BTW.

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.
Click to expand...

You miss them because you are literally missing them. The new honor system isn't active yet, and has PvP-specific skills like grounding totem. Grounding totem specifically is a resto-only ability, but enhance gets stuff like counterstrike totem, which redirects attacks back at people.

Gilneas being home to a worgen outbreak isn't a retcon, afaik. That was at least very strongly hinted to be the case in-game since vanilla. And Worgen didn't really exist in the Warcraft universe until Vanilla, so I'm not sure what the retcon would be.

Enjoying the audio shorts and the harbingers comics (Illidan was the last one though for the comics though right?). /Hype levels rising.

PvP on live is trash, it is designed around level 110 with honor talents and artifact weapons. I'll hold my judgement until I get some time there.

There's not really a GAF guild, we are all quite spread out I think. Im on EU too though, but I doubt you are on a low pop server like Terenas :).

And yeah Legends of Azeroth is fucking epic.

Thinking of watching the Warcraft movie tonight :eek:

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.

Yeah, I think I should have screenshot how many notifications, pop-ups, exclamations, and waypoints came up on my screen that tried to "help" me when I logged into my garrison to explain what I meant.

In trying to "help" me back into the game it gave me such a sensory overload that I went to my bank and I ended up logging out.

Probably a picture taken during the beta/alpha of WoW, back in 2003-2004? Before they added the bubble?

Strange though that they would bother to model Dalaran it if the buggle wasn't transparent.

How can a well geared tank with archi hc mount not know to pull aggro off me when I'm marked with artillery? He didn't even do it once and never answered when I asked him multiple times during the fight, thankfully we still managed to kill the boss but it was dragged literally all over the place

I'm not sure I'm a big fan of some of the UI changes. Why is the character sheet suddenly so thin? I miss being able to see things like weapon damage.

And speaking of weapon damage, does it not matter as much these days? I'm leveling a Monk, and weapon DPS doesn't seem to be affecting my abilities. Is that just a Monk thing, or what?

There are add-ons to bring the old character info back.

Also, weapon DPS is the most important damage stat for pretty much every class that auto-attacks.
