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

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I have a LEGENDARY STORY to tell

I opened up 3 days worth of emissary caches and the third one had a legendary in it! Seriously though, it seems cool. It's the Wilfred Fizzlebang ring for Demo. Now I am even more desperate for some decent demo changes in 7.1.5.

I open the crate for beating 5 timewalking dungeons on my monk. It has a trinket (ravaged seed pod, to be specific). I also had just beaten the first wing of EN in LFR so I go turn in teh "defeat il'gynoth" quest.

The crate from that gives me the same trinket, just LFR version. What a waste.

edit: Double so since I think my current trinkets are better. Feh.

My Legendary Story. I have played two characters pretty heavily even though I started late. They got nothing but I boosted a rogue to 100 and then leveled him to 110 in a few days. On the second day of doing emissary quests I get a pair of legendary Sub boots for him that put his item level at 814. I then proceed to get ~ilvl 830 boots from the next 5 emissary caches even though I could literally use any other item. My original plans for him were to get some AK and park him and maybe do weekly's, world bosses and some emissary quests. Seeing how little AP I get from things I think that is exactly what I am going to do. Legendary.

You got the best Rogue legendary. Grats!
 
my fake legendary story-

SO I'M ON MY ROGUE

AND I'M FLYING HIGH OVER THE MOLTEN CORE, I WAS READY TO SOLO RAGNAROS

BUT THEN I NOTICED I HAD AN EMISSARY CHEST

I OPEN IT BUT GET DISMOUNTED BECAUSE OF MY FAT FINGER!

SO I'M FALLING TO MY DEATH WHEN I NOTICE THE SHINY ORANGE POP UP ON MY SCREEN.

AS I'M FALLING MY GUILDS FREAKING OUT AND I'M LIKE FREAKING OUT TOO

I'M ABOUT TO HIT THE GROUND AND I EQUIP MY LEGENDARY BECAUSE I AIN'T GOT A CHOICE AND IT WAS THE LEGENDARY THAT LETS ME NOT DIE FROM FALL DAMAGE

I'm pretty sure that's an artifact power but whatever it sounds cool

I had huge problems with logging to Dala and loading screens in general after 7.1 hit. After a while I just redownloaded all the addons and put my WoW folder to SSD and it seemed to fix it.

Twice today using my Garrison Hearth and once loading in to Dalaran the game just stayed stuck at 100% loading. Fun times.

Was fiddling with my 103 monk, healed a dungeon not having a clue what was going on but it just felt so much more satisfying to heal with. How is MW in mythic + and raids? I know resto Druid is king of 5 mans but I'm just not interested in the off specs of Druid right now.
IMHO Mistweaver is flat-out superior to resto druids for both content.
 
I feel like MW is especially strong in high mythic+ runs. The main weakness of MW in my experience is that it's the most mana hungry healer when pumping out anything other than the most basic single target heal but is extremely good for those short 5 man fights. Also if you have a knack for fistweaving you can get a big boost for some bosses/dungeons.

That said RDruids have more utility with combat rez and is the best healer for Brewmaster tanks (if you can actually find one).

RDruids have worse mana efficiency when poo hits the fan. But we make up for it by blinking + travel/cat ahead + prehot to get extra ticks of drink.

(Not calling for balance changes tho, quite contented with status quo)

Does it seem to anyone else like they increased the number of detector mobs in eastern Suramar city in 7.1? I feel like I'm having to dodge more of them in greater packs than before.

Assuming you meant the order hall sets

Oh man yeah, I meant that.
Even on my alt, I have just half the set unlocked and I'm only using 1 piece, the helm. I unlocked the belt today but my 840 belt had better secondary stats. It feels like a set thought for questing/gathering in the world, the entry level set, but it's put behind some high requirements that make it pretty useless by the time one has even half of it unlocked.

My falcosaur gave me a quest to do 3 PvP World Quests. I completed 1 PvP WQ and the quest got completed.

Worse mana efficiency what? Monks go through mana like diabetics go through insulin. Effuse and Env mist are super expensive, and Font eves more so for aoe situations. Not to mentiom the lack of mobility that druids excell at and you didnt mention at all.

I like my monk a lot but I find the druid so much more satisfying to play, especially for the mobility.

Druid throughput and HPM are extremely dependent on number of HoT layers. The traits, talents and legendaries reinforce this. It is a double-edged sword.

When stuff hits fan in higher difficulties, you can get GCD-capped, fall behind on refreshing HoTs, end up casting several regrowths and everything becomes awful HPM.

If a DPSer gets chunked and you react by layering HoTs on him, you lose several GCDs and the HoTs don't tick fast enough for him to survive another mechanic. So you give him a raw regrowth first which is terrible for mana. Or you decide to prehot-all-the-things and mana still gets blown for possibly nothing.

The same HoT multi-layer gameplay is what making EN a chore to raid heal.
 
I miss reforging.

Hmm

On the one hand I love it because I can change everything to crit and have 70%+ crit

On the other hand

Actually no since secondary stats are more important than ever, reforging is really necessary. When you get an 890 piece of gear but an 845 piece of gear outsims it because it has a huge secondary stat bonus, it's sad.

I think Blizz addressed that issue. A +15 ilvl gear should be an upgrade from what they said. Just don't know what they will do about it.

I have 885 gloves but my 865 with a socket are much better, even though the 885 have haste.

Now I understand why gems were nerfed so much.

They definitely addressed it, but the only way they can change it is reforging tbh :X Not alot else they can do, aside from giving the main stats secondary bonuses. IE int provides crit/haste...like .5% for every 1k.

...Actually that wouldn't really work..

Any guild have room for an 880 sub rogue and 880 demo lock? We are 7/7 Heroic and 1/7 Mythic - our current guild doesn't look to be taking mythic seriously, we aren't sure yet.

We are both around 390k DPS on Mythic Nyth if that means anything.

Are you looking to be hardcore raiders?

My guilds 7/7 HM buuut...I dunno if we're ready to take the mythic step yet

Been thinking about race changing my male undead to a female BE. Anyone have any other suggestions? Also need some good / easy transmog sets I can get for a priest.

Panda Priest.

But I think Pandas are just the best race.

Male UD and Female Belf are the best race/gender combinations.

So staying or changing, either is good.

Is there any real point to getting more then 400 points in withered training?

Nope. If you're smart and slow you can eventually clear the entire thing just by constantly bringing 400 work in. Each day just clear a new room or two and get a new big chest. Just don't try to rush to the end.

Any wild guesses to what "talents that everyone uses will be baked in to the spec" will be?

I cant think of any resto druid one tbh because as we have discussed before they have such different choices for raids and 5man, but for WW Monk for example I could see them bake in Hit Combo, it really feels like it should be standard.

Interesting stuff about the MW vs rdruid comparisons, thanks. Ive healed as resto in the past and enjoyed it, but man having a super fun off spec like WW is so great. Plus monks feel so fresh since this is really the first time playing one in current content. So how does fist weaving work, just take the mana regen talent?

Once again my guild stops their mythic+ runs due to lack of heals, ugh.

I finally got an 855 Agi/Mastery trinket, which might as well be a legendary for Enhancement.

Now I need to decide whether to drop Bloodthirsty Instinct or Eye of Command.

I have been skipping it mostly as I am exalted and just hope for NF emissary.

I mean, it's a fun thing to do but it's not really worth it for rep given how long a full clear takes. At this point it's only worth doing for fun or if you need a hidden skin in there.

If I had more confidence in them giving rogues significant attention, Marked for Death. At least for Outlaw, it's sort of crazy to not take it unless you have some very specific use for Death From Above (or can't let go and want to pretend Outlaw is still Combat by taking Slice and Dice).

I expect/hope big changes to the Enhancement talent tree. There's two utility rows with some room for personal choice and one DPS row with some wiggle room (Frostbrand vs. Ancestral Swiftness), but the four other rows are pretty much set in stone.

Boulderfist should be baseline at least, Rockbiter is just dumb.

Gah, getting a key up to 12 for the 885 loot was no fun.

Not looking forward to doing that every week.
