Dude, quit the doomering. They made pretty solid updates to the Prot talents to take care of threat generation.

WoW Forever talent calculator, all nine classes

Plan a WoW Forever build for any of the nine classes, with every talent and rank straight from the beta client. Share it with a link, check the racials, and see what changed from Classic.

This ain't doomering, I'm wondering if it is going to be enough.

Not having any sort of scaling (block value scaling ain't shit) on AP might still not be enough.

Defiance always existed, it's just 3 ranks of 5 percent instead of 5 ranks of 3 percentage, threat value unchanged.

Time will tell, considering they are upgrading a lot of dps items the threat for a lot of classes will go up, but no world buffs is a factor to bring it down a notch, we don't know yet of prot will be raid viable, time will tell.

In general I prefer the softball league/bowling league analogy as I think it maps on to replaying mmos really well but I know geezers that still play 1st edition DnD once a week and have been since the 70s.

There is likely no escape for you.

OK, but a raid that adapts to the player count is better than a raid tuned for 40. Trying to get that many adults to coordinate schedules, show up, and not be derps? Come on, that's not fun for anyone.

I'm wondering of they Ony 40 man is a world raid boss or something. Having it be the only one is weird.

Did I read it correctly that its only one realm/server per style (pvp, pve)? Won't that make the economy complete crap and everything worthless because there will be too much of everything?

In theory you'd also have more people wanting things to offset.

I dont want flex raids here. There's a place for that.

Also the AH will effectively work the same way the Path of Exile one does. It's much better.

The retail AH in WoW works on a different basis than the Classic one. Originally each transaction was unique, which is why you remember pages of 1c whatever and expensive ones.

If for example 100x Kingslood were listed at 1c and 80x Kingsblood were listed at 2c you can put in an order to buy 120x Kingsblood. Where it will buy the 100@1c and 20@2c. Giving you the best deal.

The first one on their roadmap is Onyxia. The "reimagined iconic raid" next spring or whenever is probably a suped up Molten Core.

Curious how they'll develop PVP content and if they'll just expand the current honor ranking system to include seasonal PVP gear.

I was never a big fan of trying to balance the game around PVP AND PVE, I think it should just be balanced around PVE and let the fallout spill into PVP minus any game breaking mechanics. Then again, I also thought they should have kept the Reckoning Bomb & genocidal Infernals in game.
