The sane man blocks trade chat.
Especially now, with the election results in. Bet that's resulting in some special chatter.

I turned off trade chat. i have thick skin. I can deal with insults. I can deal with offensive shit. Tonight though? turned it off. I just turned it offf.
Done World bosses 3 times on my hunter and 3 times I got a back piece lol. The first one titanforged to 875 so the other two have simply turned into vendor trash, which is a bit sad.
Man now even using the Dalaran stone soft crashes my game, with the loading going on forever while the music changes. Before it was only when using the garrison stone. This only started after patch 7.1 for me. That it hasn't yet been fixed is pretty disappointing.

Quick question (I'll spoiler it just in case) - in Stormheim, it turns out Havi
. Is it ever explained how/why considering
?
is Odyn in disguise
Odyn is stuck in the Halls of Valor and can't leave yet Havi can just walk around wherever he wants
Total waste of an hour plus.
I don't think there is an explanation but it's just some
projection, he can't do anything other than talking, and considering the real Odin liked disguises and had raven pets bringing him information about the world, the raven here is probably what enables him to appear visually somehow.
The game seems to rather ignore the fact that Odyn is stuck there anyway, lol. Other than the fact that he makes you do chores he's unable to do physically.

I'm not sure why we're spoilering this but I'm doing it just in case
well I got a 850 ring which is technically a small upgrade over my 845 I had, but then again I was already going to easily get a 850+ ring from the kara quest so yeah, bit disapointing
Got Aggramar's Stride (plate boots that increase move speed by 75% of haste) off of the world boss. Honestly from the standpoint of someone who plays DPS DK in raids and tank DK in 5 mans (where I actually push harder content) this is a great legendary. DK mobility is a real problem and I already stack haste - Blood gets 10% haste for free as well, so I'm pretty much just jogging everywhere all the time now. I also already have Sephuz' Secret (haste+sprint proc) and I could even wear the chrono shard set for a second haste/sprint proc if I wanted to be literally sanic. Considering all I do is speedrun stuff these days, I need to go fast.
The other nice thing about the boots is that both my previous legendaries were rings, and now I can use the titanforged karazhan tank ring I got which reduces damage I take by 10% for 4 seconds after I damage an enemy. In Kara where I'm just pulling hordes of things that die fast, that's huge.
No luck on relic drops, or anything at all from heroic EN or the mythic cache. I do have 3 failed bonus rolls in a row so I'm all warmed up for a Nightbane relic or chestpiece tonight.
We did a bit of Trial of Valor after EN last night. What the fuck is with Guarm's damage output during his trample move/phase? Nobody is being hit by it, but the entire raid was taking something like 400k/second. Our healers couldn't keep up with it despite overgearing the place massively (we still killed him). Does it just scale in a crazy way with a 30 man raid?

Yeah, I didn't want to be that guy who spoils it for the one person reading this thread who hasn't leveled through Legion. Better safe than sorry.
I thought it might be a "projection" thing considering you have to do things for him, like today you have to bring him a beer mug, but then he takes the beer from you and drinks it. I mean, if you can hold the mug drink it, you can pour your own one... lazy sod. I'll just put it down to the usual Blizzard storyline inconsistency.
"Hotfixed so that the second legendary you receive isn't sephuz".
I swear I've seen that ring be the most common legendary, it was my second too!
It is tuned to be a bit more difficult, yes.
I am the founder and only member of the Sephuz Fan Club. As a mythic+ Blood DK, a 10 second sprint on demand is a game changer. I wish they'd give every class/spec some way to proc it on immune enemies, though. When I'm Frost or Blood I have no options at all, Unholy can only do it every 1.5 minutes with the abomination pet. I expect after the legendary re-tuning they will let you activate it on demand at the cost of a severe nerf to the proc's strength and I don't know how I feel about that.
As for ToV - Odyn seemed fine. But as I said Guarm's damage is super out of whack for normal mode. Far beyond anything in heroic EN. I don't think we were doing anything wrong in his charge phase, but it was absolutely crazy.

I have Sephuz and I don't mind it as an Ele Shaman because of EQ in M+ and such.
And yeah, Guarm's charge damage seemed a bit much.

Did you have a full quest log when you got those items? You should have gotten leystone and feslate samples that started a quest to bring them to dalaran. Check your bags and bank. Even a fresh dh starting with lvl 1 mining was able to get both of these items fairly quickly.
I don't think so. Maybe one, but I highly doubt I'd accidentally do the same for both.
we experienced this as well, breath damage and leap damage was manageable, charge damage seemed out of control. very likely overtuned seeing as the ilvl reward doesnt match the damage / healing requirements

I don't why I didn't mute trade chat sooner. Makes the game much more enjoyable.
After this election it's pretty much mandatory to mute it.

How do you mute it?

Right click the general tab on the chat window, Settings, Global Channels, and then uncheck Trade.
I made a separate chat window months ago for trade and LFG chat in case I truly have to wade into either cesspool to find a group or sell something. Otherwise, it stays in that window and I never have to see it.
I glanced at it for a few seconds last night and saw a "HAIL EMPEROR TRUMP" spam going. Quickly had my fill and switched back to my other window.
yeh trial is a bitch especially for pubs, with our little foray last night I feel like trial normal is almost double the difficulty of EN heroic, can't even imagine heroic at this stage.
i'd say it's harder than kara but kara we can just tackle with a 5 man squad where everyone knows/trusts each other whereas with ToV we gotta fill half the raid with pugs.

Holy shit the other rogue in the guild who got 2 legendaries in the span of 30 minutes (one of them being the second best for the spec or might even be the best now after the latest buffs) and has BOTH equipped and is at a decent item lvl is doing 80k damage on the Odyn fight.
We had a ton of people fucking up our EN HC runs delaying kills by weeks on some bosses because they simply didn't do mechanics proper, especially Xavius (It's really hard to go to your mark and not let the blade pass through the entire group for some reason), but this guy clearly doesn't even know how to play his spec. And yes I'm extra fucking salty because I am playing so much every day and do so much content and show up in every raid I can (and that was 99% of them until we took down Xavius HC) and I feel lucky to have gotten this one legendary, and this dude who barely plays and doesn't even bother learning how to play the basics of his spec gets 2.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Yeah I really hope these 7.1.5 PTR notes come up in the next couple of days. I want to see if there are any changes to Demonic Empowerment more than anything else.
just roll a druid then u can be all 4 specs no problem
except feral is hard as fuck to play jesus christ im trying to learn the rotation right now
also lmfao only 10 guilds have killed heroic helya. what the fuck
Has anybody else ignored a talent for so long they forgot it exists?
I was just thinking that neither Purgatory nor Bonestorm do a damn thing for me during Necrotic week. But I've never used Blood Mirror, I think I mistook it for the crap talent that made autoattacks heal you for some paltry amount and stopped looking at it. But shit, I could get a lot of mileage out of this on things like +10 Smashspite and his 'I just melee'd you for 6 million damage in the space of 2 seconds'.
I'm wondering if 7.1.5 will make talents that are just too good into baseline. Playing Blood without Ossuary and the heart strike bonus rune power talents just feels awkward and bad.

here are the truly must-have, set in stone talents for guardian druids.
we're probably one of the luckiest specs out there right now. we prioritize ilvl on armor pieces over any secondary stat, so ilvl upgrades are almost always a buff (armor is our most imporant stat). we have a LOT of good talent choices depending on the content we're doing -- there are still a few dead talents i.e. blood frenzy, earthwarden, pulverize, but largely there's a place for everything. we scale very well. we do good damage and have good survivability. the gameplay is engaging and i have a lot of choices to make in fights. and we have disco bear skins.
probably one of the best, most well-rounded specs to come out of legion.
I feel like demo would be much much better with some fairly minor tweaks so hopefully we'll see something good in 7.1.5. I've grown accustomed to it at this point but it's still clunky and movement in unfamiliar fights just ruins me.
I just feel like all 3 warlock specs feel stiff. But I've felt that way forever about warlocks. Since vanilla. They never feel smooth to me. 2 of the 3 Warlock specs have signifigant ramp up time and the 3rd is an RNG clusterfuck. Shadow feels like a better affliction(and old demonology), Fire feels like a better Destro and Demonology just feels bad. It's like a BM with its legs cut off.
I still hold my theory that they want to remove shadow from priests and affliction from warlocks and put them into a necromancer/necrolyte class but it would piss too many people off. It's always weird when you do the missions for Affliction like the secret appearance and it's talkin all about necrolytes and you're like 'what does this have to do with demons?' and the priest campaign being completely holy focused.

Destro was smooth as polished baby cheeks in MoP. But then they kept "tinkering" with it. WoD was still reasonable other than the Ember generation, but...
I didn't care much for it then in MOP either. Just felt very repetitive though nowhere near as completely unreliable as it does now. Like I knew it was strong but I didn't find it that fun to play. Now I find it just frustrating to play. I wind up ember capped at random.
Aesthetic is pretty much all locks have going for them. But I guess at least they're viable? I'm probably switching off my elemental shaman just because I just don't see a spot for him. I have never once seen anyone advertise for one on my server. Resto with ele offspec? Sure. Ele? Nah.
Yeah, it wasn't exactly complex, but man was it smooth and predictable. Practically the only RNG was your crit rate and even that only gave you a minor ember pump.
As for Ele shamans.. they aren't exactly the most sought after, but that doesn't stop us from raiding with one. Granted, she mostly shines on cleave matches but eh, whatever. We're not that hardcore to clamp down on classes and she's been playing elemental since TBC.
I enjoyed vanilla/TBC Affliction, and MoP Destro.
I can't remember much about WoTLK as I focused mostly on my DK and Hunter.
Demo was also kinda fun in TBC when Felguard was brand new and hot shit.
The current state of all 3 locks specs is by far the worst it has ever been IMO.
Especially Demo. Dear god I have no idea what they were thinking.
