5 drops from 7 bosses yay! got pinnacle and SoO wing 2 left to do. I might luck out and get the missing 7 ... knowing me though, I'll be sitting on 11/12 until next week.
Also, people don't even try anymore. Like it's hard to run around timeless isle for an hour collecting 496 gear, no, they jump right into LFR with their 483 boost greens. And as if that wasn't enough, they then start telling other players how much they suck.

You need 496 average to enter SoO LFR, unless they do ToT or previous pointless shit, it's impossible to be even there. Also you don't get a full set in one hour, forget it, if you are lucky a couple pieces and one burden for the 535 piece. Unless you collected it with some other character.

Runestones is fucking terrible. I got 1 from 5 bosses yesterday, with the buff. I only needed 4 this week, and I was scared I wouldn't get it.

On runestones myself on my Hunter and Paladin. Only way I've been able to keep both going is by doing them at the same time. If I had to do say paladin and turn around and start all over on hunter... F that! Glad I started them both at the same time.

On the plus side, once I had runestones done, I had my cloak like an hour later.
The solo fight at the Celestial was challenging, but I had read up on it so I knew what to expect, and had some strategies planned out.
I already had the timeless coins.
Then I got lucky last night and people on my server (which is generally 100% dead) were killing all the celestials.

Ill highlight a few parts for you. The Brewmaster was already weak in its current iteration, but now these changes have went through and they effect all Tanks. Even so, the weak get weaker and nothings really been done about it. Not to sound like a premadona, but Im not going to play my Monk this expansion unless something changes for the better. Check below the line for speed.
If you care to look up data mined info - .. Best example I can give you is doing Protectors in SoO. A DPS has to take the football and use his cool down that grants him invulnerability for a short period before handing it off, right? Exacerbate the issue behind DPS being relatively in the same playing field as a Tank and you can see what they're are "aiming for" but with the expansion two months away from release and mobs having been tuned in Mythic already to accommodate the current tank changes that were in place before these - they're pressing their time pretty hard and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that some of the Tanks are going to shine, while others are going to have to wait for that "Miracle patch" that's going to come after release. A class like the Monk that excels at avoidance is going to take the short end of the stick with Resolve, for example.

On the topic of legendary items...
It was stated that the Ring will be the 'freebie' (as some people have taken to calling the MoP Cloak. Freebie legendary/welfare legendary/etc) Legendary of the expansion and there will be at least one legendary item that is obtained through the pre-MoP methods (IE: Rare raid drop, followed by tough collection, etc)

They were decently challenging in the ilvl gear they were intended for, especially the 502 ToT LFR crowd.

Well, thats why we were having the combat routine discussion not to far back...
But Ill try to explain how people are seeing the changes a little better than a shitty example. Tanks are getting weaker on the whole but can still take a hit better than a DPS, but only slightly. Active Mitigation sounds like the new "game" for tanks. Blues Clues said that Active mitigation isnt decreasing, but its use is increasing. Taking Guard from lasting for 30 seconds down to 10 seconds with a 15 second cool down. (pulled those numbers from my ass cause I cant get MMO champ on my phone) To me, thats the exact opposite of allowing me put my attention somewhere else. More along the lines of micro-management.
Im not even worried about the changes, honestly. I may even like them, who knows? My only gripe is that they are taking so much toughness away from tanks as a whole, and the Brew Master is getting fucked twice as hard now and their isnt enough time to rebalance every fucking tank. I liked my Monk, dammit. Throat Jab bitch ~

What this will allow to happen is good tanks will really shine in WoD, more then probably any other period. Will the min / maxers probably drop monks until a patch? maybe, but don't underestimate a really good player managing to make something work outside of a data mined patch note.
I still remember people outside of the first heroic guilds underestimating Brewmasters in MoP till they watched a vid of Heroic Sha of Fear. They were god damn All Stars on that fight.

People are going to be tanking with DPS left and right. Blizzard will compensate by increasing mob damage and nerfing healers' throughput and/or mana. Tanks will complain incoming damage is too high and survival is only possible by overgearing or chaining raid cooldowns. Everyone else will complain because no one will want to play a tank and queue times will skyrocket. Blizz will cave and buff tanks and we'll be right back to where we're at now. DKs will still be overpowered the whole time.

I like brewmaster tanking, and mildly enjoy mistweaver healing, even if it's imo slightly subpar compared to other healers. I thought this could have moved me to play the class as main, but I'm not really too fond of many class changes, I'll wait for 6.0 to have a better picture of what's going on. I have all 90s anyway, I just wish they'd forever cut off the stupid segregation alliance/horde. Nobody gives a damn anymore and the enemy is always shared (always, fucking always).

I am more than ready for a Story Arch Quest that turns you neutral to both Horde and Alliance. I am so tired of having people on my friends list that I know, but I cant play with them cause theyre on the other faction. Been one of my wishes since, well... the entire life of the game. It only makes sense that they would do it now with how each faction is overlapping each other. Only having design for one faction would cut down on the duplication of town, cities, hubs etc. and maybe they can add more content that matters. But honestly, we probably wont see cross faction shit until the game starts to tank.
