It was a lot of fun. The trash was crazy. That blue bird after the first boss caught my group by surprise when it knocked off our tank from the platform lol

Well, I hit 100. I thought Nagrand was dreadful. Epic cutscene with
though.
Now to decide if I want to tank or DPS. Guild needs DPS more but I like tanking, but then again history has shown I am awful at tanking with DK, so...probably DPS.
Thrall and Garrosh

They got rid of the queues for the most part, but Garrisons are still a gamble at best during prime time on my server. :/
Trying to decide on what class to boost in the meantime. Never got a Warlock past level 20, so it's about time. On the other side Hunter has become much more appealing to me over the years with transmog and now Lone Wolf. Decisions.

So, the gear difference for Tanks and DPS is much much smaller now.
Check this out: (care of: http://www.wowwiki.com/Bonus_armor )
I have my pvp stuff from Ashran and mostly pay attention to the ilvl and the secondary stat I want, when deciding what to use for my tank set. (Basically highest item level with your best secondary stat)
I haven't tanked with my DK ever (never got him to level cap), but I play protection warrior and arms all the time:
Stat priority for protection warrior: (from: http://www.icy-veins.com/forums/topic/7168-warrior-60-transition-guide/ )
Bonus Armor > Mastery > Crit > Versatility > Haste > Multistrike
If I were you, I'd start building small tank set of those items with bonus armor, and play both. Play around with the Proving grounds, and get comfortable with both specs.
I would double check on this.. last night trying to login (US) I got world server down twice and the dreaded "90% boss". I exited out of WoW and bnet completely, launched them again and it was fine.
It is a known issue and i am not the only one see blizzard eu twitter and the forums. It's all fucked again.
Yea, the music has been consistently fantastic in all expansions, but really loving a lot of Draenor especially.
Probably been mentioned already, but DON'T use the follower upgrade tokens unless you have enough followers/tokens to actually complete the higher ilvl missions. I mistakenly thought that having a higher ilvl would increase my success rate on missions, so I stacked them on an epic follower and got ilvl 630. Turns out there is no difference between an L100 ilvl 630 and ilvl600 for missions that do not have a ilvl requirement. Now I have a bunch of 615 missions clogging up my available missions and I cannot complete any of them since only one of my followers is able to actually contribute to the mission in any meaningful way (have another guy at 606 who barely helps.)
It wouldn't be so bad if these missions gave a bunch of exp to help level people, but even L100 ilvl 600 followers are red to these missions as if they were lower level characters. The missions also take 8 hours and reward the same exp as a regular L100 mission (1500 exp.)

Yup. I love my Enh. Really fun class and orcs look great now. Still waiting to jump into the xpac but I'm still sticking with him. I don't care if he's bad now or later. FotM rotates hard to keep people playing, as intended. Eventually Enh will do fine.
Still, I prefer PvP over PvE by a little bit and don't mind being the underdog. Learning the class inside and out each xpac then when you get a bit of gear and a numbers pass happens, all those previous beatings were the foundation for you to lay waste.
Fun times ahead for all classes. I do wish Unleash was pruned tho. Such a shit ability the way it is. Press it because it exists. Too bad its on the GCD.
Just announced that subs have passed 10 million again! Now I know why I've been queuing so much!

I'm emberassed to admit I don't really know how Ashran works. Can I queue for it?

there's a flightpoint you can get to at 91 and you can just ride in. It still makes you 'join the battle' like post-patch Wintergrasp and Tol Barad.

I know how to get there. I'm actually in it right now. haha I just don't get what the objective of it is.
Haha! Pretty awesome! Hope they do more of this type of stuff.

I'm just gonna say it...the dungeons in this are way too fucking difficult. With the DPS and support squish it's almost impossible to find a tank that can survive and a healer that can heal enough all in one group. And this is just in normal dungeons. I can't even imagine heroic or raids.

I am not having any problems with the LFD tool, heroics are barely noticable more difficulty, as usual.
not comparable to BC back then, I wish heroics were that hard again
davepoobond
you can't put a price on sparks
I've had the exact opposite experience in my dungeons.
Ehhh, disagree. They are harder than wotlk/mop dungeons but still easier than bc/cata dungeons. You don't really need to CC on most heroic packs as long as your group is good at interrupts/stuns. I think they've struck a good middle ground with the difficulty, I'd personally like them to be a bit tougher, but, that's what challenge modes are for if I want to go that route.

cc in heroics? I havent seen that since bc
My core group of friends bailed on WoW before challenge modes were a thing, so I'm really looking forward to them. WoD has brought a lot of them back and so far everyone thinks it's the best since TBC/Wrath days.

I'm envious. lol
Just had 3 of my Heroic group D/C. Me and the other guy didn't though.
I have this exact problem. The hell's going on?
In my experience, CC was needed in heroics right at the start of Cataclysm.
Let me guess. You finished a dungeon that started in the garrison where you queued?
Same thing happened to me. Did not try to log back though.
Yep, I remember that too. Unless you were godlike gear-wise, it was needed once more. And people hated it.
Good old BC was great, because it was new. We al got used to so much easiness that the CC era's return was not tolerated.
Exactly, no one was doing launch Cata heroics without CC. It didn't fall into the fate of Wotlk/MoP until people whined. I was thankful for it while it lasted though.
I've been sitting on this for about 5 mins since getting home. Perhaps related to current server woes?
yep me too. Someone suggested starting the game from the executable file directly in the wow folder.

I have not played WOW in a year. Worth getting back into it?
If it's a genre you enjoy then I'd say a resounding YES.
Don't stand in bad stuff.
Worst instance of this is in Grimrail. People are bad at seeing that purple fire.

Yes IMO. The new xpac is great. I don't play the game religiously either but I come back every few months or whatever to check new content etc.

The expansion is getting near universal praise from everywhere I have looked and my own opinion is that it is awesome. If you enjoyed WoW in the past, there is no better time than now to jump back in.

For the garrisons if you need resources I'd suggest killing rares and tracking down treasures. I got about 1,000 GR yesterday doing that so that I could get my garrison to level 3.
As for heroics, I don't find them too hard (only one I haven't healed is Skyreach) but early on when I had shitty gear I did ask a rogue friend I ran with to sap a mob from time to time. It basically comes down to dps avoiding unnecessary damage and having to prioritize who gets healing (tank > dumb dps). Some times you need to let a dps who likes fire die in order to keep the group alive.
I will admit I hate healing monk tanks, fine with every other tank.

buying supplies from the guy in spires should also net positive gold after the 50g investment
Eh? I've run four pre100 dungeons, no wipes in any of them.

Once you gear up they're really not. Heroics are so easy now on my healer, at ilvl 621.
Yeah, just had the whole group wipe at ~40% on the first boss of UBRS and just soloed him without deactivating the stuff on the bottom
Then all 3 DPS died on Zaela and me and the healer killed her
Man, healing dungeons in this expansion is.... interesting. I just popped 93 and tried out the Iron Docks for the first time. Something that probably hasn't happened to me since Gnomeregan in Vanilla (where I finally understood how the hell to heal in MMOs) happened: A tank rushed in instantly and pulled about 3 groups, and I just straight up couldn't keep him alive. Sure enough, the entire group takes damage, and I get overwhelmed trying to keep everyone alive (including the tank just getting BEAT ON), he dies, cusses me out, and just drops group. I haven't felt that freaking useless in a looooong time in this game. The last time was probably Patchwerk in Vanilla Naxarammas. No matter how skillfully I play my spells just don't seem to heal enough!
Maybe it's just a Discipline priest thing, but it feels like i have no adequate big heals at all. If a tank drops to 50% health I feel like I'm already losing the battle. I'd chalk it up to my gear just kind of stinking and everyone still being used to the faceroll dungeons near the end of MoP, but it really felt like I had no good answer for 4 people all being low on health. I miss Greater Heal, and instant cast Prayer of Mending, and Renew, and Penance causing Grace. Maybe I should just switch to holy? How is the questing as holy? I was going Disp mostly because I assumed it would make doing quests easier.
