World of Warcraft: Current Year

^ Correct.

I kind of want to make a healer (have a warlock at 100 and DK at 100, so dps and tank are covered), but no clue what to make. Pallies seem pretty meh. I like shaman but no idea if they are good healers, could do druid as well. Monk would be awesome, but I understand they are kinda bad too (plus no more fistweaving?).

monks are far from bad, stack as much multistrike as you can and they become awesome. I think they'll be incredibly good once they get their tier pieces too.
I'm like 90% sure i'm going to swap my mistweaver as my main, much funner than prot pally and probably more needed than him as well since everybody and their mom seems to play a paladin now.

I'd say you need to be on the ball with this class though, you can't really just hit wild growth, rejuv and sit back.. you always need to be doing something to maximize chi gain, which gets you more mana tea, and heals etc.

Druids are by far the kings, but monks are pretty damn underrated imo.

So whose getting their DPS axed in the inevitable patch? My money is on MM hunter, Ret and Monk. They are in a league of their own compared to the other classes.

Glad war was #1 on every encounter in MC. I couldn't touch him.

I know blizzard is known for stupid nerfs, but i really hope they don't flat out nerf the top dps atm (mm hunters, dks, ferals, ww monks) because theres no reason to. They just need to take the proactive approach and fix the other classes.

Disc priest 100%

Druids and shamans are half of what they used to be.

I'd love to play a rogue again but I feel as a warrior I have more direct impact on carrying a terrible group. Or at least I did in vanilla and TBC.

First thing you need to do is stow that fucking attitude. You aren't a one man army in current content (healer, tank or dps), maybe once we're in 6.3 and tanks are soloing heroics. Right now, a good healer still can't heal a group of dipshits, or keep that tank alive that doesn't mitigate and over pulls. A great tank can't keep himself alive if the healer is retarded, or too busy attending to the dps and himself standing in shit. DPS can't put shit down fast enough that it doesn't matter what you stand in, or how good the healer is, or how badly the tank can mitigate because it's only alive for 5.4 seconds.

TL R- you ain't carrying shit right now bro.

Eeeh? A good tank / healer can still carry. Not sure which game you think youre playing. A dps drops dead? Meh, big deal. Tank or heal doesnt pull their weight? Gluck.

Managed to bronze UBRS challenge last night, felt good. Looking forward for more of those. Also had a crazy lucky day yesterday, picked up Gronn and Clefthoof mounts. Now if I can pick up that heroic bow and the auch trinket I'll be set for raids next week.

I like my resto shaman, it may not be the flavor of the month healing class but its still pretty solid. They are going to be doing some more balancing so im not going to jump ship. I cannot stand flavor of the month wow players. My friend is one, he saw Bahjeera playing a glad warrior and was jizzing all over himself. If they ever end up being nerfed, he will say the games bullshit and quit until he comes across another OP class raping face on youtube.

Enchanter building in Garrison seems to be giving dust for the blues now. I think prior to today, I was only getting shards. I just disenchanted 6 blues and got draenic dust on all but one. It was giving 5 to 8 dust each. Makes it much easier to fill enchanting work orders.

Oh baby that's a big deal if it's true. Do you have enchanting? Let me dig for a hot fix... because if I can't DE my blues on my enchanter into dust I'll be pissed.

Since I wouldn't have a ton of time I'd be mostly interested in low queue times. I assume that either tank or healer have the lowest times? I'd love to play a rogue again but I feel as a warrior I have more direct impact on carrying a terrible group. Or at least I did in vanilla and TBC.

There's a few things to this. First, the dungeons are abysmally short compared to vanilla/TBC. 20-30 minutes max.

Second, a good tank really makes everything easier, quicker, and more efficient. A great tank will clear a dungeon in record time - they really set the pace of the group. Heroics it starts to get a little hairier as you actually need to make sure your healer is healing you.

DPS are a dime a dozen, and good ones can surely speed up a run but not like a great tank will.

Yea -- a good tank might have a hard time carrying four bads... but at this stage in a new expansion, a tank is the ONLY role that could possibly carry four bads. It doesn't matter how shit hot you are on heals/dps, if you have a shitty tank then your dungeon run is going to miserable and probably doomed to failure. This changes later on as gear inflation triviliazes content into faceroll status... but even then, people are pretty conditioned to follow the tank and the tank sets the pace.

Thats right bitches, follow my brewboss to greatness!


Or total failure. Depends how i feel that day.

A shitty Blood DK can carry 4 other shitty players! Champion of the people!

Switched mains from my Monk to my DK with the expansion because our mythic team was going to have 9 bloody Agi DPS people rolling on loot, with 6 of them being Leather. Really, really missing Roll and Flying Serpent Kick.
