With the amount of content released since you last played you should have a solid week ahead of you. Even if it's Wednesday already

That's like the Sunken Isles and Argus quests? Which amounts to basically fuck all. Still haven't bothered repping up those last two reputations.

There's more story? Seems like all I've been getting are the redundant "get 50 shards", "do 3 invasions", and "complete class hall mission"... Course I still haven't done the dungeon or related quest, so maybe I need to do that.

Mount collecting is so dumb. Collect pets, at least they have a use.
But but but I can ride them. And I can just stand around posing on rare_mount_01 at the AH!

I might expand my autism to pets... did enough to get a few of the collecting achievements, might go for the new raiding with leashes.

I thought they were going to nerfed it with 7.3, but it looks like it may be a buff, at least in terms of gold per week. The amount of resources needed to keep it going may have gone up, but not enough to require an alt to actually do a world quest. The key to running a minimal effort farm is using the 6 classes that have an auto complete token. I always auto complete any 8+ blood WQ. If I am getting low on resources, I will go for any 6+ blood, or 400+ resources, otherwise it's personal preference. I complete a pvp WQ for gear or whatever due to the fact that you get bonuses for a pvp level up.

The 7.3 order hall changes were absolutely a buff to gold farming - the original 100 and 200 resource missions still spawn at the same rate, but you also get the new 400 and 500 resource missions as well, leading to roughly double the gold for triple the resources.

I find actually logging in to use those tokens to be too much effort, so your mileage may vary. The legion app is just very convenient and the time to log in is a tiny fraction of the time it takes to actually log into the game. I mostly feed the alts resource crates that I buy with blood on my main.

I'm almost 100% certain there's no per server cap or anything of the like - or if there is it's so high it may as well not exist - I have had 30 gold missions up at the same time in a single run across all alts. I'm pretty sure the one you are thinking of applied solely to WoD garrisons - it didn't even affect the shityard during WoD.

It seems that the ilvl 950 missions may not be worth it. The gold is only 1k for 100% and 1750 for 200%. So it is only around 250 more gold than the 925 missions for around 300-400 more resources.

How are DH dps at higher levels of play? I know their burst is insane but is sustained dps good? We don't have any really in our guild. Actually don't see many around at all

In raids, good ST, shit everything else. In M+ really good all round.

And the ST Raid performance is heavily reliant on Delusions of Grandeur making your Metamorphosis line up properly to squeeze an extra meta or two into the fight. Fights that end between bursts with your raid comp are a significant hit to your overall performance due to how heavily it relies on the burst windows. I don't enjoy the class anywhere near as much as I did back when Momentum was the best.

Will be interesting to see how Eye Beams Tier next tier plays out.

I keeping thinking about using the app, but I need to log on for the auto completes anyway, and I need the auto completes to keep resources flowing (and get the pvp sets with minimal effort). In the last month, I have stopped everything but our once a week raid and the gold farm. I still have 900ish BoS left, but it would it would be a steady drain to 0 w/o the tokens.

The breakdown of gold earned by alts, for me, follows the same pattern spread every week, and seemed to show some kind of diminishing returns. Although, that could have to do with how the various followers are set up, luck with follower items, and the wide variance in power that different followers have.

It seems that the ilvl 950 missions may not be worth it. The gold is only 1k for 100% and 1750 for 200%. So it is only around 250 more gold than the 925 missions for around 300-400 more resources.

This may ultimately be true, depending on what type of blood and resource stores you have, and how much extra effort you want to put forth running WQs, if you run out. If I ever find the motivation to run the rest of my alts through all the Argus bullshit, I may stop at the 925 level.

Did they ever do anything to fix the rng during meta? I loved playing my dh but like you said all your damage comes during meta and I remember there where times where during meta you'd actually get resource starved and your damage would flucuate drastically

Assuming you have ring and prioritized haste over mastery, resources are not an issue. There is still tons of RNG between Chaos Strike procs and concordance though. The spec really needs a lot of it’s damage offloaded from its CDs lining up to its base abilities. This would also help bring up its cleave abilities somewhat.

Tldr: guldan enrages so he can't beat the dps check but enrage times out after 30 minutes. He stays in p1 until enrage runs out then solos him.

Blizzard watching this like "Hmm, demon hunter needs their self healing reduced by 90%"
