Only downside will be that if you want to buy legion ore/skins/whatever off the AH at the start of the expansion instead of gathering them yourself, they'll prolly be above your paygrade since people will be burning a hole through their stash of WoD gold the first few weeks.

Yep, s'what happens when 3/4 of the player base says "Fuck this" and leaves, you lose the mod-makers too.

Anything that's good this month, will be hammered into garbage on August 30th. This is the way of pre-patch.

You lose/have reduced effectiveness OH SHIT buttons, but they did that to every tank. Your self-healing is still better than the other tanks. In Legion, Blizzard focused heavily on Tanks just being a meatbag that exists to hold threat while healers do the heavy lifting, so don't expect to be...

You got the weapons because you are a monk, not because you're BM. Windwalker is dual-wield-only in Legion.

There should be a pair of 705 1handers in your mail. No, Unholy is a pet spec. Pet Management just became even more important with Sludgebelcher giving you a positional deathgrip tied to your pet.

Additional note: Warbinder Ink is still used to purchase older inks as of patch, and herbs are 4GR/each on the North American Trading Post today, so that might be a good way to spend your resources, depending on your server economy.

Yes, the crates become Garrison Resource shit tomorrow. Turn auto-loot on, put your crate on your hotbar, and mash the 1 button until your inventory is full then sell; repeat for a couple hours. Also, spend down all your garrison resources today on either Materials or Bags of Gold, depending...

Fun prerelease weekend. White was fantastic, red had some surprising stand-outs (Didn't expect Thermo-Alchemist to pull as much weight as he did). Got to see a Nahiri ultimate out an Emrakul in sealed, and another guy actually succeeded in opening and melding Brisela.

Depends on how shit leveling is on a major server at releaseIn other expansions, you could quickly level past the 'rush' of folks and get to the relatively empty zones to level in; in this one, every zone will be populated from jump. Less populated than any individual "starter" zone has been in...

At a couple points during beta it was superior to grind mobs for the first 1-3 levels, while your scaling was still high, then swap over to questing. Of course, these were also passes where it was possible to run out of quests and not be level-cappedBut pocketing some quests for level-cap can...

Monk mobility is still good, but all the Monks are becoming DHs anyway.

"Barely keeping your current market entertained" is a little silly when Civ 5 has been consistently top 10 on the Steam active player #s lists. Not by genre, but by "is a video game." While I prefer Civ4, Firaxis is certainly keeping their market more than just barely entertained

It was pretty amusing at launch, when buff-spells produced more aggro than taunts.

Enhancement shamans are pretty happy overall. A few people with stockholm syndrome actually enjoy ground-targeted maintenance buffs, so are pissy about totems being gone, but fuck those people.

Yeah, sorry, the 5/7.

The Flash Emerge cards looked about as boss on camera as expected, at the LRR Pre-Pre-Release. Flash Hexproof 5/9 fucks up some combats. Tamiyo incredibly brutal in sealed, as expected, since sealed is largely creatures bashing into each other, the format that best synergizes with her.

Pretty sure blizzard just figures anyone still playing PTR after WoD isn't going to cancel their sub for any reason anyway, so best to appeal to new/returning players with the streamlined, flavor-not-mechanics-focused specs.

It was kind of depressing to see the number of respected magic pros they got on their design team... and all they made was a magic knock-off, adapted to the realities of video-gaming (can't have the complex timing interaction set-up magic requires and flow well). Still, of the free to play...

The momentary delay can actually be helpful for Feral, since it takes them several seconds to get the 5-point savage roar into Blood Talons Heal into the window for their snapshotting 5-point rip (If you're going with Savage Roar).

Sabertooth helps, and it's also probably the best DPS talent in its row with proper snapshotting. Lets you ignore Rip as long as you can maintain time-on-target, and it lets you keep your ridiculous initial trinkets+pots+heroes Rip rolling as long as the boss is available.

If my Serra Sanctums/Cradles go up over $200 I have 0 compunctions against selling that shit and just buying some $3 4th Wave Black Core counterfeits to replace them in my EDH decks. Not like I'm going to play Legacy Elves in a tournament anytime ever.

I would say most classes' "fun" isn't balanced around a complete artifact. Most artifacts are shitty +MOAR PASSIVE DPS/HPS the whole way through their tree, as you'd expect from them needing to crank out 37 of the things. There are a few specs where artifact nodes you get further in are very...

Started playing this game yesterday, is there anything particularly important to prioritize picking up from the Holiday event before it ends tomorrow? Picked it up when I saw the Cap'n'IronMan Package for 2.99, and grabbed Cyclops as my starter.

I like how every time one of these buy-outs happens, mtg finance's first responses are "IT'S NOT A BUYOUT, IT'S A NATURAL PRICE ADJUSTMENT BASED ON DEMAND AND COMMUNITY ORDERING PATTERNS AND YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT COMING" Followed by guy posting video bragging about it being a targeted buyout.

Seems like a system that will succeed at making horrible players total social pariahs, since the group-wipes they cause will actually cost folks money

6th Edition Basics baby. Get that lemon-juice in their eyes.

Healer damage is much higher than it has been in the past. It's still slower than single-target questing (DPS), or aoe grinding/questing (Tank), but it's not the "DEAR GOD WHY" it's been in the past. If you have enough bag space for your artifact power consumeables, it's probably better to...

This is an sweet Planeswalker to Doubling Season Omniscience AND Ancestral Recall AND Still alive with 1 counter? Yes please. God I love that derpy deck.

I mean, Blizzard's intention with disc is that instead of being 0%DPS/100% healing, you're ~60%DPS//~60% Healing, so I'd expect to fail both kinds of training grounds if the spec is working correctly.

Your decks don't need to be particularly tight when you're all cheating your asses off

I mean, you also had Force of Will half of illusions+donate's legality. This is obviously going to be nowhere near as powerful of a deck, on any axis. You have weaker donate targets, a weaker base color for the donate, and weaker support cards. But the FNM Fun? Priceless. Imma run...

http://i.imgur.com/hH8k7vp.jpg So, about those Demonic Pacts still being legal for 3 months...

Anyone can succeed when competent! It takes a real hero to slog through one's own overwhelming incompetence and come out a winner!

Yeah, just wanted to get to the 13 for Innistrad flavorAnd double-harness stacks with these things will probably result in a judge-call at some point.

They're also granting full expansion flags for subbing for a month during this.

Harness the Storm forces them onto the stack when the Harness Trigger resolves (should you elect to perform its "may" effect). It isn't a "you may cast that spell from your graveyard this turn" effect, it's a "YOU CAST THIS NOW DAWG" trigger; these set-ups are not the common form of this...

Correct. If you have 3 Take Inventory in your graveyard, and 3 harness the storm in play: 1) Cast Take Inventory #4, put it on the stack. 2) Put 3 Harness the Storm triggers on the stack targeting 3 different copies of Take Inventory in your Graveyard. 3) Both players pass priority. 4)...

After hearing their talk post-Titan, I doubt we'll be seeing another MMO out of them.

The bad Remand is essentially "pushed" blue design, at least compared to what they've been doing with Blue counters since Mana Leak reprint burned them hard.
