Was found out today, at least mentioned in Guild chat, that if you're like me or Ladro, and didn't take the quest to get your off-spec Artifact weapon, that stalls out any of your other Order Hall quests. On my shaman I didn't want Resto or Enhancement, so I didn't do the quest, and apparently that blocked me from getting a ton of other Order Hall quests/missions? Glad I heard about it and just level 105, compared to Ladro who was 107-108 on a ton of other classes. :(

Just a PSA!

Huh, good to know. I got my holy first & prot afterwards, guess I'll do ashbringer to see if I get more missions and shit. I already have a rare mission but can't complete it cause my dudes are weak as fuck. 2 more days left on it, hoping I can grind them out on small missions by then.

As far as I know, from talking in guild chat today, it was only the 2nd one that you had to go for, not all 3 (or 4). But I never had even done that, because as said, I didn't want Resto or Enhancement, just Elemental, so I didn't bother with the quest. I had no idea it was tied to the rest of the Order Hall missions.

I made it to 110 today, finished Stormheim...except the 2 dungeons quest I have. I love Stormheim, it might be my favourite zone so far, it looks good and some good storylines.

I still have all of Highmoutain to do, and of course Suremar. I went back to my order hall, got a few quests, picked some in Dalaran. So much to do right now. Started my artifact research.

Kinda stuck on the missions that takes 6-8 hours for the class halls story. I have one running during the night, and I think I'll have 2 left Tomorow.

Guess Tomorow I'll finish the 2 dungeons in Stormheim to clear the quests. Then start on Highmountain. The eventually Suremar.

Lots of fun stuff to do. :)

PC Gamer just published their review on Legion (they gave it a 90/100): World of Warcraft: Legion review | PC Gamer

I couldn't quite figure out how to explain to my buddy what made Legion better than previous expansions. This excerpt from the review summarizes my feelings pretty well, though:

"There are times when Legion is outright silly despite its apocalyptic main story, injecting a wonderful sense of personality into the characters I meet. Because of that, Legion achieves something kind of remarkable for an MMO: I don't see a question mark on my map and consider it some chore to be completed on my quest to level 110, but an invitation for fun."

Lone Wolf is great, but without Frost Trap or Aspect of the Cheetah to kite, not having a pet can be a little difficult for questing. Its probably more useful in dungeons or raids where you have a tank and can just cut loose.

Up to 106 so far as Lone Wolf MM. No undue deaths. Between exhiliration and camo I am almost always full health. I can solo gray world minibosses easy peasy.

For people playing/leveling as MM. For questing, i'd highly recommend Black arrows as others have said alon

Also for solo, going black arrow and crows for the reset of the cooldown when something dies is very handy. Crows for me now at 110 does over 1 million in 15 seconds. combined with the pet from black arrow that taunts so these two reset when the target dies. Plus there's exhilaration reducing CD every time you kill something. downtime is minimal/nonexistent for me now as lonewolf MM.

well some specs really heavily favor one stat over the other so using the same on all could be suboptimal on some specs but it is not like WOD where unless I swapped all my trinkets/rings/necklace/weapon I basically could not heal with my enhancement gear on my shaman swapping to resto.
For Holy and Shadow, they both use Crit as their main secondary, with Haste favored for Shadow and Mastery for Holy. Any crit-non versa piece will work, take the one that is higher ilvl. If it's only 5 ilvl, and crit is not the highest of the two secondaries, then maybe it's worth considering. Otherwise no.

It will be only useful if you craft imbued silkweave and end up getting a crit/haste and crit/mastery pair.

Well everything but trinkets seem to switch to whatever spec you're on at the time. How much Artifact Power you dsitribute is what has the huge effect.

I like that they don't let you just extract power out of the Artifact Weapons. Makes the choices more impactful and meaningful.
I ran into the "wall" while questing in Highmountain at 109. Seeing the bar jump from 1000 to 6800 is groan.

Since then, I'm feeding half the power to my alt spec and half to my main. So I'm now at 13/9 halfway in 13. I'll probably stop feeding my alt until I'm waay higher as soon as it hits 13 on alt.

PS: World quest chests were nice with me for first World Quest day: 2 of them had a 400-power item in them.

Lots? Try to get friendly with the Taurens, then immediately switch to Suramar to get friendly. The flight whistle alone is worth everything.

And then you'll also see lots of stuff to do (all those world quests).

Well looks like I'll be doing High mountain at level 110, maybe halfway through Val'sharah and about 109 1/4 so far.

Affliction lock is so easy at leveling imo (next will be to decide if I should level the DK or druid all the way next)

Dinged 110 today and I was able to get my artifact to level 12. Leveling process was smooth with the expection of DDOSing issues. I still have rest of Highmountain to complete then off to Suramar. Saved up some AP and used them and got my rank Ursoc claws to rank 13. The cost went from 1000 to almost 7000 for rank 14. FFS what a HUGE jump. So yeah I was planning on starting an alt but honestly I may not have the time to invest in one for now. Maybe months down the road I may reconsider. SO I took whatever points I have and used them on my Ashamane daggers. Will continue until I get to
I love stuff like this.
Alot of WoW players won't ever get it.

Wow, the game runs like ass. I decided to buy it and I basically can't run it on a computer that's less than half the game's age. The FPS drops are absolutely constant and unplayable. This computer ran everything up to and including WoD completely fine, but they did something with Legion that took it from fine to totally unplayable. My FPS is dropping to like 10 every time anything remotely elaborate happens, and I just had my client straight up freeze for literally six seconds for no apparent reason, I was just riding and the game locked up for so long I was sure it had crashed.

You running an nVidia card? I had all kinds of problems with my GTX 860 until I switched drivers and turned on debug mode from the nVidia console.

I did the Hall of Valor dungeon this morning. Favorite one so far...once again tons of skippable trash.

It looks great and the fights were fun. Really liked it.
