Yup, I heard leveling engineering is a pain so I want to avoid that with the bonus coin
Sucks that Trial is apparently overtuned, the dudes I roll with only really do normals (we only killed the first EN HC boss) and you would think normal should be able to do the next normal etc, especially when we diss 80% of the EN normal gear by now
Kinda makes me wonder why the mage-playing artist decided the whole disc thing.
I guess he/she remembered the Malygos fight. Least its better than that one, though.
One thing I will grant, though, is that it doesn't seem to have that cloud thing under it like the disc from MoP. So that's nice.
survival rotation makes feral druid rotation look sawft
Wow, I guess I'm no longer salty about N TOV pugs requiring AOTC.

anyone else annoyed at the quick join notifications
most good guilds did splits of EN before going into heroic TOV, you will see a ton more kills by monday friends of mine whos guilds decided to just go straight in said it wasnt hard in their splits.
however i will say i have heard some things about mythic being tuned quite higher than what it should be purposely, so as to keep the instance artificially around longer and to prove they can actually kick players asses after the 2 day shitfest that was EN.
will see on tuesday.
I ran my Survival Hunter in a normal EN and while the damage was decent the amount of efforty ou have to put in to get it there is insane. For your core rotation, we're talking Lacerate, Murder of Crows, Explosive Trap, Hellfire Grande, Flanking Strikes, Mongoose Bite, Raptor Strike, Fury of the Eagle and Throwing Axes. That is your core rotation. Not your 'occasional exceptions' rotation. For eh damage. I have so many other melee spec characters that are so much easier to play and do about the same damage with way better cleave.
With the other specs getting traps, I wonder if Blizzard just intends for every single hunter to play MM. Because that's how it is now. And that's how it's going to be until they do something about it.

there's a couple cheese strats you can do for guarm that'll make it pretty easy
Such as?
They need to remove Raptor Strike and Way of the Makw/e.
Make it so DFG replaces explosive trap.
Reduce Mongoose fury to 3 stacks.
Make FoTE automatically give 3 stacks of fury, so it's your opener for starting your burst. Which would also make it actually usable for on demand AOE.
Lacerate/Flanking/Axes are fine.
MoC is kinda lackluster for survival IMO.
Also replace the dumb harpoon dot and dollar store windfury as the golden traits.

If they updated the ghoul but not the abomination people would flip out.
guarm is easy yeah theres a lot you can do, they fixed the bridge though
How many people do you have soaking the breath? We started out with around half of our raid in it and the charge aoe was smashing us. When we got all of our melee soaking it was easy to heal. He gains a stacking buff if not enough people soak.
Err im going by what people arw saying here btw, I havent actually tried it
Not sure about normal, but heroic is certainly a step up above how EN was. My guild is 5/7M, for us Odyn took around an hour to get down, Guarm was a joke, Helya we only put in a handful of attempts before we decided to go back to working on EN. We might have had her down if we invested the raid week on it, but based on our attempts it seems like it will be a rough fight for a heroic only guild. Normal might be tuned similarly for normal only guilds.
Question: I remember there being some sort of full armor appearance thing for each armor class from the Trial of Valor, or at least there was one datamined.
Is that still in somewhere? I ask because I noticed the pieces the Trial of Valor has don't include helms (and shoulders, I think), and I want the whole set (when possible).

After you beat Odyn, he offers a quest to collect 1000 mcguffins that gives you the armor set.
Ah ok. Hopefully there's the LFR variant, I like the darker colors.

There is I think?
Queued up for a normal or heroic HoV. Heroic popped up, 3 DHs and a Pally tank. The DPS all just jump around and just get hit with every little thing you can possibly imagine. Actually am healing instead of dpsing for once while farming Hyrja. Tell myself I should stop trying to farm her and say fuck it because of these DHs.
and bam:
and bam:
This has been a big issue with Trial and Karazhan.
I agree, from a Holy Priest perspective, nothing from that loot table I would want. I have heavily geared towards mastery/crit. Having only like 3% haste, I don't think I want to replace my main stats with haste/vers with a minor ilvl upgrade. Not worth it at all.
kara aint overtuned

(bitter post incoming)
From the interview:
And most of the stories are "this legendary is shit and designed by some clown who doesn't play the game, god I'm depressed I didn't luck out and get one that makes me 20% better at my job".
Warlocks get a HORSE. A HORSE. You know how many horses and wolves I already have? Thank you for horse #7. Bet it took a lot of effort to come up with the concept of ANOTHER HORSE. Passionately.
Actually, it's very clear from most of the tier set visuals that your artists harbor a lot of resentment towards their jobs, the player base and the world in general. Or they're on drugs and stuck in the 80s.
Bet you $20 that Destro Warlocks do not in fact get either Eradication, Soul Conduit and Demon Skin as baseline, despite those being the 3 most popular talents by a fucking gigantic margin.
Oh. So they'll be removing Affliction Warlocks and Elemental Shamans completely.
Uh. I mean, let's say that somehow (somehow) you aren't 850 yet. Somehow. Maybe you only play once a week or something. THEN the rewards are relevant, and only barely. Everyone else? not so much. Hell, you're not even increasing the gold an resource rewards as time goes on.
hahahah no I just made that one up, Blizzard don't want you bypassing the slot machine

I am levelling my affliction lock (first and main raiding character in vanilla) to 110 and boy the mechanics are sheer clunk.
Soul effigy is "Hey if you are not yet bored of DoT timers, here is an extra target to refresh DoTs on."
My story is like yours but before you fixed the imgur link.
I hate the fact that they are increasing drop rates for legendaries if you don't have one. There's nothing they can do for Prydaz that can make it useful for tanks unless they fundamentally change it completely, and yet it's dropped for every one of our tank players.
The idea that you get one shot at a legendary and then the drop rate decreases is stupid given how unbalanced they are.

Now sit down and shut up. I won't have you disrespecting an update to the Dreadsteed. Warlocks have been asking for a flying Dreadsteed practically as long as flying has existed.

Unless it has giant goddamn batwings it's just another horse.We deserve a giant flying demon. Just not that disco thing that Demon Hunters got. Cough.
