World of Warcraft: Current Year

Not a tank at all. I just don't think these recent hotfixes have done a damned thing to "even things out."

From a tank prot warrior perspective, after the initial nerf to ALL of prot just to nerf gladiator, it's done a whole hell of a lot to bring tanks in line. Previously, our blood DK was absolutely fucking wrecking everything on boss fights, while I brought up the bottom of the chart by a pretty good margin even when we were carrying FnF with shit gear. Now we're both pretty even middle of the pack on our heroic "bring everyone" clears.

About fucking time. That better be a real thing, it's long overdue
even if its a "random" gamble i'm okay with it

Meh. Decent change I guess but i've got stacks and stacks of follower upgrades sitting in my bank at this point, I have no use for those either.

A useful change would be making them BoA or the scraps BoA so I can start gearing up alts followers faster with scraps.

Was getting tons of scraps when I was doing the daily dungeon. Now that Im about done with my Garrison, that 50 GR isnt really that big of a deal. So making scraps have that value is paramount if they still want geared players to run dungeons with new characters. (ie. I hope so)

I wish they would just give apexis crystals for spam running dungeons and then change scraps to be redeemable for armor / weapons in a similar fashion. Apexis gear isn't going to ever be the best, which would make raiders happy, and it would be on par with heroic raid gear potentially and make filthy casuals like me happy.

GAH I wish. I have nearly a full stack of the give follower full 615 set of weapons and armor upgrades and nothing I can do with them. I should just sell them but holding onto them incase they suddenly get a clue and flip them to BOA.

They really need to add a reason to do daily heroics. Some sort of reward outside of 50 GR and 60 gold since at a certain point you don't care enough to spend your time for either. They should give possibly a selection of rewards either WoD reputation, follower items, complete 1 cycle of work orders, etc etc. Without any rewards running daily heroics is just painful.

Funny that you should mention that, because the hotfix this week that nerfed Blood Boil by 33% could only possibly be justified as a nerf to Blood AE had the side effect of also gutting Blood ST--which was never anything special at all--and knocking about 8k dps off Unholy BiS sims for multiple-target fights. That's why I have little faith in them achieving any kind of parity before BRF, as clearly there is either ignorance [of side effects] or incompetence running wild in the group doing these hotfixes.

Personally I think Blood and Druid ST damage is about where it should be, monk and warrior are too high now, and the first paladin nerf did absolutely nothing to bring them in line. Haven't seen the results of the second one, but I am skeptical.

Why do they exactly? I don't have a reason to run a daily heroic, so I don't. I don't feel loss, maybe you should just stop doing it. I haven't done a heroic in weeks, even on my alt.

Here's the gift people who have had accounts since launch day are getting:


Spoilered it in case you want to be surprised.

Just checked, this account is from 2006. I sold my launch day one. Fuuuuuu

Apparently employees received these before (3000-ish made) and are on ebay for $1600. With these I'm not sure.

Did you have to be continuously subscribed? I quit for a month or two, but mine is still a launch day account.

Yes I think it has to be from launch to now with a continuous sub

I know hell have it give a follower upgrade or rep like they did in pandaria anything. As it stands unless you are working on inn quests chances are you are never doing heroics after you finish the legendary ring stuff.
