The only reason I have all save the Ashran at exalted, and the Ashran one half-way there is that 8 alts shoveling the Legion medallion to my main whenever that mission pops make it doable.

I'm aware they perform very well in raids, between Twist of Fate bonus damage and SW Death spam (with consequent increase in orbs generation), their dps goes to heaven in the execute phases, I was just ranting about grinding around doing levelling content, where I found the shadow spec significantly weaker than in previous expansions: for a laugh, some elites in Spires of Arakk I had to switch to discipline because I was taking way too much damage in shadow. While it's true that in MoP I could keep up Renew in shadow form (it was a bless, no more shifting out to heal up and go back to shadow) and instant cast PoMending on top of that, I could not remember an era in 10 years of shadow form where I had such a shitty experience.
I play mostly a BM hunter in Tanaan, so everything is weak in comparison if you factor durability/survivability and crazy shit you can pull off, both when levelling and at the cap, but of all the classes, shadow is the one suffering most so far, despite the 630 crafted weapon. It was okay-ish in SMV, then the decline started, I hope there will be a ramp up period soon, once I get some 650 slotted everywhere.
Might be me, but I found early gearing shadow to be the worst dps class to play - rotation boring, no aoe worth a shit and dps awful. Seem to be great at high gear though, maybe scaling, maybe I just suck ;p
Leveling wasn't an issue though - there's that glyph? ( maybe talent ? ) that makes mind blast give you 3 charges the first time you use it on a target - that lets you pretty much explode stuff.

The shat'ari defenders for the flaming elephant mount was the only one I bothered cranking to exalted of the original WOD reps. For the rest if you want random boars/wolves/talbuck/riverbeasts just get a stable and bang those quests out.
thats how i was with every expansion prior, and i probably will do the same thing here. but i'm gonna complain the whole time!

lmao, same. I haven't done any reps recently, but one of the major factors in me not wanting to start another character (other than loving holy paladin) is rep grinds.

Haha yeah. I think that was in the talent previews that were posted earlier. Another nice steal from D3 (circa 5.0?) was the Mage orb graphic.

This is actually really nice to see. The classes and what not just really started to lose their identity. Really hoping the split PVE & PVP systems allow for a breath of fresh air again. Missed hopping on an alt and actually playing a class that had uniqueness to it, as opposed to playing essentially the same class across the board.

Well it indeed looks like the new weapons are leaps and bounds above any legendary ever put out. Some of those abilities are $$$.

Weapon procs like its 1999!
But man, it sounds like they are heading to a system that will make Mythic raiding more annoying than ever. Fully invested in a spec that is nerfed/no good on fight x? Fuck You, better have the other two legendaries ready to go along with a bag full of items with the right bonus effects.
But WOD pretty much murdered mythic tier anyway with its insane burnout rate.

We got Gorefiend down to 2% last week but our off tank didn't catch a spirit during the last feast and our "no problem, we got this" 12 seconds turned into insta-wipe enrage. Hopefully we'll get him this week because the churn has been super real. Our first pull on him was a week or two before halloween...

I like cool weapon procs and whatnot as much as the next guy, but the Legion weapons just don't get me that excited. All they did is move the skills you'd normally get leveling up and put them on your weapon. No one will be not using their artifact so it's no different than if they were just normal spec skills
It does allow them to add progression beyond just xp levels which I guess is cool. They did say that eventually you'd be able to max every trait so we'll end up with a case where literally everyone in a spec has the same exact weapon. I guess I'll wait and see how I feel about it when I play it. Hopefully it will be the opposite of garrisons for me, sounds meh but turns out cool.

We hit a stretch in late BRF where I thought the guild was in serious trouble. One of our top DPS rage quit one night and then took a couple players with him including one of the tanks. It took a really long time to replace that tank.
HFC has by and large been pretty stable though and I think the biggest part of that is we've kept recruiting through the whole tier while still doing a heroic clear every week and rotating people in on farm mythic bosses. We'll have 25 people on at the start of raid nights and 22 or so during progression fights to sub. It's really just a solid group of people. I'm happy I found them when I did.
There's a spot for you Kreug if you ever get the itch. We have a billion hunters just like every other guild, but they do rotate in and out. We really need another full time DK too.
