Ive always usd some form of rotation helper. Even if it’s just to double check I’m where I should be in my rotation or to see when something is off cool down. The WAs for them are great.


Any recommendations for an arms helper, I'm back in for BFA and going arms?

Best suggestion I could offer is to Google your class Discord channel. They tend to have an abundance of resources, links to effective add-ons, weak auras, etc, while also having the chat component where you can ask newbie questions and get fairly reliable answers.

Has anyone beaten the Mage Tower for Enhance Shaman? What strategy/Legendaries/Potions/etc did you go with? Would like to get the Wind Hammer, but trying to concentrate on so many things at once makes me feel as though I am over thinking this fight.

I logged into beta just to check my progress on the 350 mount achieve. 341/350 damnit, I thought for sure I had enough to get it. Gonna have to grind out some annoying mounts to get the last 9 before BfA.

Elvui has a mount count on live, doesnt the default? If not, you may want to count them up on live as the account copy to beta may not get everything on the collections. For toys at least, I noticed it when both hearth stones were missing.

Edit: I thought some of my mounts were missing while leveling horde, on beta, but it was because they were Ally only. Both live and Beta are showing the same count. Are class hall mounts not counted anymore? For example, my DK has all 4 class mounts, but is showing the same mount count as my shaman, which has 0 class mounts.

if you can do mechanics, it is the easiest dps challenge, as it hardly has any kinda of dps check. If you have prydaz, it is even easier, as you can make a few mistakes here and there. Otherwise, the legos dont really matter, at ~925 ilevel, I only had the trinket and belt and did it with minimal effort (after learning the mechanics on numerous other toons).

Followed the set up in this guide:
Enhancement Shaman Artifact Challenge

Edit:
Macros I used:

Frog on Focus, set to Sigryn
#showtooltip Hex
/cast [@focus,harm,nodead] Hex

Casts Rainfall under shamans feet:
#showtooltip
/cast [@PLAYER] Rainfall

Same for Earthbind (when axe guy enrages and chases)
#showtooltip
/cast [@PLAYER] EARTHBIND TOTEM

You can't actually check on live because the achievement does not exist and even though I've searched high and low there doesn't seem to be a script that can track it either. The collection tab shows every mount usable across all characters for that faction. However, the achievements are for usable mounts on one single character. For instance my collection tab shows I have 393 mounts horde side, but on Beta the achievement showed as 341/350 on my paladin who has the most usable mounts of all my characters.

Speaking of mounts the luck keeps on rollin. Decided to start doing the storm peaks dailies today for the white polar bear and got it on my first team (5th bag overall).

Ah, that makes sense then, for the mount count being the same on my toons.

Getting more mounts, when you have 393 already, makes it look like only particularly shitty 0.01% farms are left. You have all the gold from 5 (?) boxing the order halls, transfer a few toons to low pop servers, like Garosh (US Realm Pop), with gold for the BMAH. Otherwise, you should be able to run into 8 mounts in the first month of BFA, if you can't get any more of the 0.1% mounts to drop over the next 1.5 months.

Eh. Depends. I am at 403 usable on my Mage. I have zero Gladiator Mounts/RBG mounts, but pretty much all of the others (excluding MoP World Boss mounts, as they hate me).

If I had people throwing shit at me like Asmongold does, I would be at 420+ easily.

The achievement tracks the character with the highest usable count, not what the current character has. I think.

Seems Tradeskills are going back to their boring bullshit again? Reading up on it now.

Legion actually did a really good job on Tradeskills. With unique questlines mixed with dungeons and stuff. I liked a lot.
I have all classes max level and had all tradeskills maxed with the interesting ones having multiples (tailoring, alchemy, engineering for me).
Putting tradeskill progress behind dungeon runs, even normal difficulty, stopped me from leveling tradeskills outside of my main char. I don't want to go into a dungeon on an undergeared underskilled char.

Hope they get rid of that.

Somehow, the class mounts seem to count across all chars. I know I pushed the 300 margin via those.

What a total dick move. Blizzard can take their daily "chore" "forming habits" repetitive quest can shove right off with them.

World Quest UI Changes - Battle for Azeroth
In Battle for Azeroth, it will be significantly more effort to group for World Quests due to new restrictions on what addons can do with the Group Finder.

  • The default UI no longer offers the option to find a group for non-elite quests. The option is still there for Elite quests.
  • Addons can no longer automatically create groups, even with a user pressing the button. The title and description can only be manually filled out.
  • Users will have to manually add a title and create a group for world quests. You can't even paste text into the fields.
  • Addons can still search for groups.

I wouldn't worry too much. Blizzard is significantly underestimating peoples ability to create add-ons.

Well between that change and nerfing bear tartare by 60% movespeed they're doing a pretty good job at not making me do world content past 2 weeks

I remember all the repeated fuss that addons like Zygor / Carbonite / etc. wouldn't work anymore due to change x, y, z. They're still going just fine. Blizzard doesn't think outside the box very often.

Yea. And they still haven't fixed the fact that WB quests are added to the quest listing, which means your raid group gets auto delisted at 5, no matter what you want.

I am sure there is going to be some reward or currency or time gated bullshit, or bad luck protection or something to force people to grind them over and over for the next two years if not your gimping yourself.
