Finally got a Beta invite. Might just be enough to get me to log in, but I doubt it.

my crowning achievement in this game is killing mythic KJ, even after the nerfs that fight is an unforgiving shit show. the only end of raid boss we never went back to attempt. we killed him and just said fuck it, let's wait till ABT.

I thought ABT was done just about perfect as far as pacing and difficulty goes. some of the fights are very unforgiving (imoner, Kin'gorath, varimathras) and are a pain when your progressing on them but when you look back on them they weren't even in the ballpark of some of the shitty Tomb fights.

Its always entertaining coming into the class overhaul as part of the expansion pre-season and seeing which of the massive changes to classes you play irritates you the least. I really wanted to run with my Mistweaver Monk for this expansion but it just feels so damn clunky with these basic-ass wannabe-druid heals.

I might go back to Shaman as it seems that Elemental is at least okay. Arcane Mage seems a bit squishy and weaker than it should be otherwise I might be tempted to run with my original main again. I've also considered the possibility of rolling one of the allied races and doing a totally new class, but not sure what that might be. I've never really run a priest so a Void Elf Shadow Priest might be quaint.

Elemental is in a really weird spot. Flame shock doesn't cost maelstrom anymore but it's on a 6 sec cooldown, and only lasts ~ 20 seconds now so it feels really bad, especially fighting 2-3 mobs. Echo of Elements & Elemental blast are both on the same talent tier now, so you can't take both, which feels especially bad for single target. Artifact ability is now a tier 7 talent, so you can't take it and Ascendance, you would have to choose, and with the gloves gone you can't really "have both".

I played it on the beta for a bit, but didn't get to 120, so I'm not sure how it feels in a raid setting. I did a few dungeons, and it doesn't feel awful, but it's definitely different, and I don't think I would call it okay yet. They also lost gust of wind. They got a little more durability but they are still pretty squishy, and losing the mobility is disappointing. I foresee the ice fury build being the go to build if it stays the way it is, so if you liked that build in legion you might like ele.

That said I don't main elemental, I just have an alt ele that I enjoy playing, and that was just my impression of the beta elemental shaman.

Frost mage is really fun on beta atm, idk if i want to play a class that doesn't have a tank spec but if i did frost mage is it atm. it slowed down a lot compared to live (like other classes) but is still fairly entertaining.

We don't even pull any of the adds on the last phase anymore. Just keep them cc'd and burn the boss.

Of all the important topics in the world to worry about in this game the person comparing Druid riding to rape gets a blue reply right away ....

Haha, there's some pretty good trolling going on in that thread:

I see. Since hierarchies are a consequence of cisheteronormative capitalist patriarchy, the fact that you just dared to imply that there is a hierarchy of victimhood makes you an apologist and an oppressor.

If you want to imply that there are no sexual implications to being poked with a stick or a "dagger" or why you want to be in denial regarding the phallic symbols that big swords are, then you need to abandon your woman’s studies right this moment. As we all know, everything is sexist, everything is racist, everything is homophobic and you need to point it out.

The only reason why anyone would defend these cisheteronormative capitalist patriarchal practices and norms is obviously a person who not only benefits but strives to perpetuate them.

For a woman’s studies major, I have to tell you I find your behavior highly problematic.

Check and mate.

Speaking of, check your privilege just in case.

I feel your pain, when I want to exercise my right to identify as a Sandstone Drake and my raid members hop on my back without asking, I also have to retreat to my cry closet because of the virtual r4pe I’ve experienced.

There's more but this is a good sample of what's going on in that thread.

I am looking forward to playing this new expansion for 6 months and dropping off again! Maybe I'll stay at it longer this time.

I probably would have stayed subbed till bfa but my m+ healer decided to quit out of the blue this week, so now there is nothing left to do.

There's an entire sub-game in pet battles. Nothing to do. Ridiculous.

You all are like kids opening all the cupboards and the fridge filled with food and yelling at your parents how there is nothing to eat.

i like the last 300+ pages of this thread is mostly us bitching about something that is broken, and McCheese still has his pet battle optimism, maybe we should all be pro pet battlers.

Stop trying to make me eat kale. It isn't going to happen.

There was a hardcore pet battler in my last guild. Had every pet levelled, wrote some of the wowhead/whatever guides for doing the argus unique fights with just 1 pet family, still complained there was nothing to do and quit.
