The Blizzard Q&A with Ion was the most smoke blowing bullshit Q&A i've ever seen.

such highlights include;
- yea we know arcanocrystal is over stat budget, its cool that you get 1 chance every 12 weeks
- guild leaders for top end progression guilds are the reason people quit
- we dont want people to have to grind to an "end goal" for AP, so we made the "end goal" a super long grind
- do you like RNG? because now we put that on your Artifact - those 1 % wipes may be better if everyone just has 1% better RNG next attempt
- we know the T20 tier sets are garbage set bonuses but they'll get changed...maybe...or not..

obviously this is paraphrasing

oh and a blue post about tank balance to make everyone feel happy

When asked in the Warrior forum about giving warriors more magic resist "Tanks and Magic Damage Just pinging this thread to say that we're talking about magic damage reduction for all tanks, including Prot Warriors, and how it compares across the board. It should be noted that Nighthold is highly unusual as raid tiers go - it ended up with a lot more magical effects for tanks to worry about than most, which has taken a couple of tank abilities that normally qualify as "kind of nice to have" and moved them to "extremely useful on many encounters." Not sure re-designing tank mitigation based on one raid is the right way to go, and we certainly don't want to make sweeping changes to Nighthold encounters at this point. But like I said, we're talking about it. At the absolute minimum we can keep a better handle on it for Tomb of Sargeras."

- basically "we done fucked up" but fixing it seems like a hastle, so maybe itll be better next time.

Lol ya if you dont want to play I may play him at the end of expansion to be carried

Yeah man he's just parked right now, I may or may not use him yet.

I tanked EN and TOV Heroic (I know, fucking shit tier) and the difference was night and day between my warrior and monk. The monk still took a lot of damage, but it was smoothed out much better overall. Also I got like 20 pieces of gear because :| I don't like doing that, but not going to complain. One was even a 900 chest.

I know EN and TOV aren't great metrics because it's mostly physical damage. Gonna bring the monk to NH tonight and see how it goes.

i need pants on my monk =( literally every M+ can drop pants and i still haven't gotten any higher than 855...i did get 3 pairs of 855 though and one had a socket. lol dragging down my ilevel.

I suppose i should just wait till Gul'dan pants since i think the best pieces for BrM are cloak/gloves/legs and then shoulder or head. I have a normal 875 chest but a 895 sitting in a bag i just cant break my set.

someone did the math on BrM brews and the 4 piece set bonus is worth ~17-19% haste on brew gen.

Have you tried solo tanking Guldan? I'm thinking about trying it.

AFAIK, you break bonds with ISB + Mystic Vitality + Follow-up with Expel Harm. I know we can take 100 energy fel scythes like they're nothing.

yep i solo tank him on Normal i haven't done it on Heroic due to the phase 3 fires being a pain (but its possible). here is my log from the normal Warcraft Logs - Combat Analysis for Warcraft (this is a terrible parse btw)

you can break bonds with just ISB pretty easily on Normal, i have a feral druid triggering scythes just so the incoming damage isn't too high.

my BoC usage is garbage there. thats the major thing i need to clean up

Yeah, I watched up until that jaw-dropper, and then turned it off in disgust.

Can't remember the last time I heard a more retarded piece of Dev-speak. And then, that condescending rubbish... "be nice, because now you can't really blame anyone for that 1% wipe, it's RNG!!"

Really? what the fuck are they smoking...

Mostly shows they don't play their own game anymore.

Ion Drive H-man is the worst wow team fuhrer I can remember. Literally everything out of his mouth is wrong. What's worse, he isn't just arrogant like the rest of them were (my way or the highway you pissant player peasants), instead he constantly misrepresents the mood and statements of the entire fucking player base. He's just constantly wrong in every way while managing to be condescending about it too. He's got the government elite personality complex where he's fucking forgotten who pays their dumb bills at the end of the day.

Like sum said you can break bonds with just isb and be fine but 100% scyths is a bit trickier. When I did it I had to have isb up then right when it hit expel harm purify then isb again to be on the safe side. Also unless I fucked up the timing zen meditation doesn't work on scythe. Tried to use it bc I fucked up my brew usage and got killed. Lol this makes me want to play my monk alot more :)

They're so fucking obsessed about trying to fight player behavior that they've gone completely off the deep end. All that and Kadala is the only answer t people getting the shaft on legendaries, are you serious? I'm averaging one every, what, month and a fucking half? Could get to goddamn 7.3 and I still might not have a good one. Can't wait until I try targeting eye of the twisting nether and end up with a sephuz instead for my efforts. Sucks for anyone else who has a good one that shares a slot with garbage.
