World of Warcraft |OT9| People still play this? Isn't it from 2004

Levelling up a Mage right now. Started at 1, levelled as Frost, really liked Frost.

But having done the artifacts for Fire and Arcane... I really like those too. Perhaps not as much as Frost, but still enjoyable. I"ve never played a class before where I liked all the specs. This is kinda odd.

Still, guess I found my new main!
Mages are always good.
 
Which appearance? The PvP one? Depends how active you are.

You get it at prestige 2, so that can take awhile if JUST doing the Warden Towers. Slightly easier now that they buffed PvP rewards for real PvP games, but you'd still have to prestige 2x.

I was talking about the rewards after prestiging.

Yeah, I was talking about the PVP skin. I thought about starting to do those PVP world quests but I wouldn't do any PVP beyond those.

Knocked out a ton of Suramar quests on my Pally last night, so I'm at the point where I can start leveling my fourth char. Gonna go with the DK. My new priority on my alts is to get all the Artifact appearances unlocked for glorious transmog future.

Are we going to be able to transmog into artifact appearances? I should hope so, but we still can't do legendary weapons so I don't have much hope.

they confirmed the artifact skins you unlocked will be transmogs. The ones you dont unlock you are SoL tho because they will be gone forever

Yeah reading through these dev interviews as well it's always mages, mages, mages. They are the default "example" class, the first thing they talk about when it comes to balance or talent tuning and swapping. Jesus fuck though half this dev team must be playing mages with just how much attention the class gets for all 3 specs. Celestalon (one of the lead devs) even hangs out in the mage discord from time to time to get feedback -- imagine if they did that for all the classes lol. Those discords are truly great places for feedback/discussion.

Hopefully everyone gets some love when the 7.1.5 notes go up, but a lot of the dev interviews were focused on 3 classes -- that being mages, hunters, and locks. Going to be sad if I see a wall of text and attention on a handful of classes with 1 or 2 notes for others lol.

sucks if you want to change mains in the future
 
Cool, with the Bloodgazer Hatchling one of the quests is to defeat 3 Fledgling Kingfeathers, aka that rare pet spawn. So you have to kill these rare pet spawns so people cant catch them. Amazing idea.

Ugh. Withered training is so useless.

I cleared literally everything the place has to offer tonight and got a 708 score (got close to 700 multiple times already), and the only thing I get is a crappy 825 necklace and 4500 AP, which is practically nothing at my AP lvl and knowledge.

It would also be nice if you stopped getting Nightfallen rep for no reason after you get exalted and maybe get something for rep with other factions.

You need to run through the whole Tanaan jungle thing via the Doom Portal in Blasted Lands before you get access to Draenor.

That's weird, when I used my 100 boost from buying Legion that character started with a level 3 Garrison.

But you should just have to go through the portal.

I instantly stopped as soon as I hit exalted. I applaud the idea of the solo scenario that takes time to master, but in practice, it's just an annoying, time-consuming slog. Ever since, I've turned in 400 ancient mana for a quick WQ completion if I needed it for NF Emissary and moved on.

Once I got my artifact appearance I stopped running withered training. I wish they'd put in a harder version with more rewards. I've been down for solo content like that ever since those summonable Ogri'la bosses.

Never did the brawler's guild stuff though. Maybe in the new update.

There is a shortcut though the timeless isle that skips raanan but. You still have to build the garrison.

Wiping on Curator (we had skipped him when Kara was bugged), just way too much dmg everywhere and 2 melee dps struggling to get to the adds and killing them fast enough :(

While I hate getting a relic from the emissary cache for one of the weapons I don't use, I especially hate it when its for a relic slot that I can't even use yet due to it being locked behind the campaign.

My warrior just hit 110 last night, don't give me shadow relics, damn it.

My Pally needs two Holy relics for Ret and I couldn't get any to drop/spawn in WQs this week :|

I have a +8 BRH keystone just sitting in my bag, can't find anyone who wants to even try it even outside the time limit.

Anyone want to give it a run before the reset just to get the chest for next week?

go to the dungeon tool for premade groups and look for "random legion heroic" groups

there are usually a lot of premades there looking for keys.

I can't believe that they still haven't made a section for random legion mythic and random keystone dungeons, it's literally the group finder section I use the most by far
 
Got my first legendary.

the idea that you can get a legendary that has a completely random chance of appearing and people will laugh because you got the wrong one is super stupid.
 
Getting into WoW finally, I know I'm late to the party but with the amount of streamers I watch on Twitch, I thought it's time to dive in for once.
I'm stuck between 3 classes, Druid-Hunter-Mage. I think I may go Resto Druid, it's hard to pick a race when you don't really know what to do for a race. Any suggestions?

I know from /r/wow that beginner Hunters are almost never good because most people in the beginning don't know how to role a Hunter and it causes issues sometimes. So I'm looking to avoid that. Race wise, I specifically don't have a love for any certain race. Anyways, any race/class combo I should do?

Figured that would be the case.

it's not that bad, and will most likely be the target of a buff in 7.1.5!

If you're completely new to WoW, I'd recommend Hunter or Druid. Druid allows for amazing flexibility in case you decide you hate healing and want to tank or dps instead. Hunters are probably the most beginner-friendly DPS class with a relatively simply rotation. I wouldn't really worry about race/class combos unless you really wanna min-max your character. I'd just pick whoever you think looks the best! I suggest Tauren :^)

Just pick the one you like best. Whether it's looks or faction or whatever. Unless you're bleeding-edge, world-first raiding it means absolutely nothing in the end.

All the reasons why newbie Hunters could be annoying has mostly been removed from the game.

That said, I still wouldn't suggest being a Hunter.

Sounds good! Will do!
I kind of wish the Druid class itself was available to more races Worgen or Tauren are the only races out of the available ones that interest me.

Probably won't.

Will do! Going Druid, just deciding on the race and I'll be good to go!

Necrotic BRH is something I will never run again if I can help it, and teeming is pretty much the worst thing to pair with necrotic there. The pulls are already huge, last time I tried it on necrotic I would be at 11-12 stacks right as I pulled most packs. That on top of no room to kite (unless you want to LoS your healer on stairs) makes that place really unforgiving with necrotic. And don't even get me started on the spider stairs or bat stairs and how shitty those work with that affix...

I have a +7 HoV with teeming and necrotic. LOL

Our +10 this week was Tyrannical/Teeming/Necrotic HoV. Let's just say it wasn't a fun time. First boss has no opportunity to reset necrotic easily, and when you give him 80% more HP...

After putting a bunch of work in to my Warlock before getting frustrated at the low damage (and no haste stuff dropping) I leveled a DK and fell in love with Frost... it has been the total opposite, I don't know how well it scales but I feel like I've been doing solid damage since the start and its only been getting better. Doesn't hurt that the spec is super fun to play.
