Well that is pretty great for me to catch everything up.
Can you imagine if they put that into Classic?

Blizzard must be hemorrhaging players first the XP boost and now this.
We’ve just made a significant update to the new Echoes of Ny’alotha system, with the goal of making Essences much more available to your characters whose specializations put them in different roles (tanking, healing, damage).
With this change, we’ve lifted the restrictions on acquiring role-specific Azerite Essences from MOTHER. Now, the various ways that you obtain Rank 3 tanking, healing, or damage-specific Essences are now grouped together. If you’ve earned any of the three Essences in these groups, all three of the Essences will be unlocked for purchase from MOTHER with Echoes of Ny’alotha:
As a reminder, this was already the case with Purification Protocol, Nullifcation Dynamo, and Well of Existence (the Rustbolt Resistance Essences) as well as The Ever-Rising Tide, Aegis of the Deep, and The Unbound Force (the Nazjatar Essences).
A side-effect of this change is that even a single character now has a way to obtain these off-role Essences, and can either use Echoes to purchase them from MOTHER or use the original means of acquisition. That means that your Priest who raided Azshara in Shadow-spec and got Condensed Life-Force up to Rank 3 is now able to obtain Vitality Conduit from MOTHER for a Holy-spec healing boost.
Thank you for all of your feedback on this!

They're really not, I experienced an actual server queue to get in the other day which is the first time that has happened since launch really. Granted it was like 120 players but still.
That's an amazing change though, was kind of stupid if you only played DPS before couldn't gain any of the other roles essences.

Yeah, before all these essence and semi targetable corruption changes happen I enjoyed playing the game on alts more while leveling than I did at max level lol.

Kind of depends what you want to do. For world content they're pretty trash feeling compared to.. basically every class in the game. To me anyways. Dungeons they're pretty good because their cleave can get pretty wacky even post-nerf. But then you have to play a ranged in a 5man. (that is a personal preference lmao). Raids they're still very strong but didn't scale as well as other casters (mages are insane right now, hunters even moreso). They CAN still absolutely blast AOE fights. PvP they can still hold their own.
As with all things it kind of comes down to how you gear, but priests have basically 1 option in azerite and there's not really very much flexibility if you don't get your bis. I'd say classes have never been as balanced as they are now but some take a little extra work compared to others.

Yeah just pushing the class to 120 for now, I did 110-115 earlier today and shelved it for a while and will switch to warlock.

Legacy Loot Coming to Legion Instances
With scheduled weekly maintenance the week of March 31, we’re enabling Legacy loot rules in Legion raids and dungeons. We’re reached that point in an expansion where the content from the previous expansion no longer requires a full group, and the rewards are primarily sought by transmog...

They should probably delay it a fucking year so they might actually finish an expansion this time.
