I recently came back to play my 85 priest and hit 90, within the first 2 zones. Not sure it'd be worth it for just those 5 levels that you get so quickly?

If it's a class you plan on playing as your main or even one that gets heavy use as an alt, the free 600 points in professions is nice to have.

The alt things is really it. I'd like to get it to 90 and geared to via timeless to try doing some shitty healing in LFR.

Yes, you will have to run the daily cooldown on all of them to get the mats, though. And probably level up the Garrison on all of them to get access to the daily work order that provides additional mas.

Yep. Example:Hexweave Leggingsare BOE, and so are theHexweave EssenceandGreater Hexweave Essenceto upgrade them.Hexweave Embroiderylet's you reroll the random stat picked for secondary bonus. So once you've crafted it, you can equip straight away, and wait until you have enough to craft the improvements (which require each more stuff than the initial craft).
Same for every crafted gear.

Here's another issue that I'm wondering if it will ever get addressed: The value of secondary stats is different enough for some classes that certain specs are essentially required to succeed in PvP if they want to min/max their characters going into Mythic raiding, because the 660 ilvl PvP gear from Ashran is better itemized than the 670 ilvl Highmaul Heroic gear. Monk tanks have it the worst here, as they can get Mastery/Versatility (these two stats massively outstrip every other secondary for Monk tanking) in every slot except trinkets before entering Mythic raids by using the PvP gear, resulting in an absolutely massive advantage (at least 10% extra effective health and 5-10% less damage taken) over Monk tanks that don't PvP.
To get an epic item from Ashran you need to turn in 500 Artifact fragments which is dozens of HKs or hours of farming. However, Ashran has a mechanic where you lose half of ALL your fragments if you die. Ashran is 100v100 so you cant roll it with a premade. As such, if you're one of the affected specs, I suggest faction changing to Horde immediately. You're not going to survive long enough to 500 fragments on Alliance with how legendarily bad they are at PvP.

Conversely, if you kill an enemy player you get to loot their body for half of their Artifact Fragments. Still, its a shitty system.

Maybe I missed the discussion over the last week or two but I have a question about the Siege raid: was doing Siege LFR last night to get some experience and loot on new character and every boss dropped an item. Is that supposed to happen? I thought LFR had a chance to drop (like, 1 item every 10 kills) or something. But, I got an item every single boss. Also, not to beat a supposedly dead horse; the SoO LFR fights were pants-on-head retardedly easy.
Did Blizzard just say "fuck it" and offer free loot until WoD drops?

Loot from every boss is definitely not common. If they upped the droprate in LFR they didn't mention it in the patch notes.
As to your other question, I'm sure it was a matter of "meh, this isn't worth the time to perfect with WoD releasing in 4 weeks. Grats on your heirlooms everyone!"

This has been happening to me too. Ran all 4 wings, only 2 bosses didn't drop anything (and Paragons is bugged so no one gets loot/no body or chest).

Yup, same here. I got booted to screen two or three times, and there's times where quest don't seem to update, then 15-20s later, they do.
