I have a feeling that mana will be made relevant again come 7.1 since they said they would be continuing the Suramar storyline. On the subject of Withered Training: Am I the only person who killed Dro using Thalyssra's shield? I just ran up to him and let him kick my ass until I "die" the...

Is there a point to doing "Withered Army Training" after you max your Nightfallen faction?

On the subject of healers, I've been futzing with my Monk (Mistweaver) and am still getting used to the changes since Pandaria with Mistweaver as I really had not played him at all during WoD. I'm okay with the "cast something to start soothing mist" part of the situation even though I really...

I'm at exalted with Nightfallen now and just stuck behind the Xavius step to finish off Good Suramaritan. Since the LFR version of Xavius isn't open for another month I tried joining a Normal raid, but that went poorly. I think part of the problem with the spec guides / sims is that they...

I "watched" the Arena broadcast while I was doing the daily Heroic dungeon + WQ and I think I could feel my braincells dying.

I think the part that bugs people the most about the "In Nightmares" and "Essence of Power" is that it was never advertised as a cosmetic-only reward. The quest itself, which already has a lot of parts, talks nothing about "You need to werk gurl, come on up and we gonna make dat shit ovah" but...

You are all Horde and I am a committed gnome for life :( (and my Horde characters are all feeble)

Well this is SUPER shitty. They decided today, the day that the first wing of LFR opens, to announce that you can't get quest items in LFR. So that means being locked out of both the artifact quest AND flight because you can't complete "Good Suramaritan" without killing Xavius. Apparently...

I would consider myself a hardcore casual in that I've only run Mythic from the PUG-finder (although one of the Old Skool Talisman guys from 1999 just got his Paladin tank to Mythic-ready status last night) and done the WQs that seemed the most worthwhile / fun and I'm revered with everyone...

I think this is something that they have never really considered owing to how different specs were really dependent on different gear in the past. Now that we are well into the era where your armor has different stats and even set bonuses based on what spec you are currently in rather than...

good to see that Thrawn is being written as a man who plays the long game. I really do see a broader focus from this and the new series of movies on Balance within the Force as the Jedi and Sith are just too extreme and polarized to be healthy

I quite liked the most recent (last until 7.1?) quest in the Xe'Ra / Illidan quest line where you On another note: does anyone know if First Arcanist Thalyssra has the same voice actor as Pharah from Overwatch? I was doing the WQ for the Moon Guard bombing run this AM and when First...

I can't imagine that anyone playing a Demon Hunter is truly surprised that they a significant adjustment. Was in a group yesterday with one DH dps and a DH tank and the rest of us just felt superfluous. Pulled one boss with the healer AFK and there was really no change other than the other DPS...

According to the simulator I am better geared for Arcane than I am Fire... which makes sense given that I have been playing Arcane. At least it means I can't just switch specs and expect a miracle to improve my dps

I figured that Surrender to Madness was the sort of thing that was only truly useful in either desperation situations as a hail-Mary, or in the hands of someone who could manage to ride the razors edge for a very long time. No idea how you manage to properly balance such a thing unless you...

'Fires of Heaven' seems to always roll as Warforged/Titanforged. The only times I've gotten it as a blue item was from a WQ-turnin bag. As a result my Fire weapon is a much higher ilevel than my Arcane which doesn't help the "Fire is better" situation at all.

What are the particular boss fights in EN that would showcase single target or multi-target DPS comparisons? I doubt there is a stitches equivalent, but there might be more refined ways to analyze things even with the small sampling available to date.

The addition of the Mythic+ puts me in an odd quandary. We had people come back for the expansion, but very few (<15) and thus in the evening it is rare to have more than 3 people online at a time. We will never again be a guild that can raid, but do we try and recruit just to hit a critical...

I got the ring as well. I looked at the Premade group finder and was amused at all the "KNOW FIGHTS!!!" postings already.

that would be most unfortunate. It isn't like Millhouse is getting great exp hanging out with me, if anything he's falling behind his mission going peers.

I do like that some recipes / patterns are sold at strange vendors around the area For cooking I've just taken to putting in two orders with each food type I still need recipes for Nomi seems very streaky in that I'll get nothing from him and then 3 copies of the same recipe so I'm trying to...

I've been playing my elemental shaman a bit since he's also my jewel crafter and I'm not paying those prices... anywho the secondary resource for shaman seems to be meant for enhance but elemental got shoehorned in there as well. it's okay to basically ignore it aside from realizing that when...

I've gotten several hundred k against packs of trash and then against a boss up to 180k+, did 193k on a couple of bosses but in cases where my ramp-up gets ruined by forced movement mechanics it drops to 150k if its a fight that only lasts a minute or two. Its not crazy good, but its also not bad.

Okay I am done being ashamed of being Arcane. I'm trouncing Fire Mages in groups who have better gear on both trash and bosses. I think people just listened too much to the "theorycrafters" and didn't actually pay attention to what the spells and synergies are.

I love that character actress Margot Martindale has now won an Emmy (for her work on the Americans...not Bojack)

the kid was awesome at making Pandarian food, I guess this ancient elf / vrykul cuisine doesn't suit him... I'm a bit sad they didn't make a rolling pin artifact "weapon".

When he is at full power Bryan Fuller is an absolute genius, even if it isn't always appreciate (hi Pushing Daisies). Perhaps this latest delay is affording him the time to get everything right. Alternately it might reflect CBS having cold-feet about anchoring this to their premium channel...

I was very eager when Destiny launched (as many were) and cautiously optimistic for the Taken King. Now I am feeling very ambivalent towards this new expansion and am pretty sure I won't get it on release unless several friends leave Overwatch to give it a whirl. Beyond the general malaise...

Demon Hunters are indeed overtuned at least at the current ilevel. It's not uncommon for a DH tank to top the DPS meters, which is really quite ludicrous given the whole "class fantasy" business.

I'm at the point where the next point is 24k and I figure it is crazy to not toss at least a few points into something. I might do Frost though since me and Fire just do not seem to get along. I did my first full Mythic yesterday and think Arcane was good enough to get the job done. I spent...

Given the exponential nature of the AP costs, though, it is quite viable to level up two different weapons and be only a few points behind the bleeding-edge with either.

I guess this is rather akin to Destiny where it is assumed you will have a legendary and presumably later on two of them. I've not seen one drop yet, but my guild is just a skeleton of what it once was so we don't have more than 5-6 people actively playing.

Get into my first Mythic dungeon and naturally Battle.net goes belly-up

Thanks, yeah I had consulted Icy-Veins when it became clear I was not doing as well as I thought I should and discovered then that Mastery was no longer great for Arcane the way it had been in the past. Right now I can feel okay about life if I spam Arcane Explosion in groups to clear trash...

I am in something of a pickle. I am up to ilevel 832 now through a combination of lucky warforged rolls but I have yet to set foot in a Mythic. My primary reason for this is that I don't feel like I am pulling my weight in Heroic dungeons as my DPS output seems rather meh. I'm playing Arcane...

I suppose he knew that Overwatch was his last big hurrah when he announced it, hence part of the nervousness. You always want to go out with a bang after all.

So today is the release date for Recore, which was a darling of E3 last year and looked interesting with its concept of robo-animals that you make use of in a modular sense. It seems, however, to not amounted to much given that it has almost zero marketing associated with it for a first-party...

I went with the 15% on the notion that the more challenging missions were likely to be some sort of spell component and that I seemed to mostly be using the troops when necessary to bump up overall success rate, otherwise I was using three actual champions so that they could all get better exp.

How are people doing the Withered Daily as a DPS like a Mage? Last night I was being quite deliberate and yet still did not get very far owning to having almost no means to heal myself and low sustained dps. I've seen videos of hunters / warlocks just using their pet to tank and cruising...
