sounds like they're going to be nerfing some of the better legendaries to make the lesser ones seem better.

On the one hand that makes me happy because specs like Unholy don't work without the bracers. On the other hand is makes me unhappy because nerfing the legendary probably won't persuade Blizzard to buff the specs that rely on them. Probably just leave it as it is.

you need to send someone your email for them to send you a link back.

it would be nice if they did the same thing for character services (faction/race change etc)

So it looks like Outlaw rogue is pretty improved? It looks like the most fun.

I'm at the end of my Blood Elf's line in Ghostlands...and I kind of wish I could just go straight to Burning Crusade instead of having to go through level 20-60 of stuff.

Yeah, this game is still pretty good. Looks like Holy Paladin and Outlaw Rogue have been the most improved with the recent expansion.

I'm done with the game, haha.

The game is pretty good from levels 30-60, but after that it gets unmoored. Desolate, Feralas, Ungaro Crater, and the Winterspring are great zones.

But after level 60 flying gets unlocked and it kills the epic scope of the game. Flying basically eliminates gravity as a factor in the game and it disconnects you from the game world.

Furthermore, after level 60 there is an insane amount of inflation in everything. My damage from moonfire went from like 2k to 10k in two levels. Gold coin is nearly worthless. There is no point in copper or silver coim because gold is so worthless.

There is no more spell interrupt on melee hit. Abilities are learned automatically and no visit to trainer required. There is no point to first aid skills because regen happens so fast.

So as to private servers, I know Elysium/Nostalrius is up. Are there any interesting private servers which have a very hardcore ruleset? Like, I would like to see stats squished relative to vanilla.

Don't use a flying mount then.

How do you start raiding when every group asks you to link your curve(btw I don't know what that is)? Is raiding with a guild the only option?

I can't seem to download the Legion app on my new smart phone. It says it isn't compatible, but it has android 4.4.4. The app lists it as only needing 4.0.3 and up. It won't give the reason.

Or LFR but honestly I feel like that just breeds bad habits (unless you are doing after seeing the content in normal).

Curve = "Ahead of the Curve" achievement. Namely, you've already beaten the content at least once and hopefully know what you're doing because they don't want to carry you/teach you. Some raids will list that they're learning the fight(s) and thus won't care about the achievement.

LFR is good for seeing content if you're not part of a raiding guild or don't want to deal with LFG for normal and above - but otherwise yes it's just a spam fest. In EN LFR I can literally stand still for entire fights as a RDPS class.

Thanks for the info. I'm yet to come across any LF raid that has listed that it's learning the fight. Let's hope.

This did nothing to people wanting the same legendaries as before as they are still more beneficial than utility ones. Also, Blizzard says if they would prefer that they didn't put in any bit utility ones then introduce a trinket that isn't utility and people want.

Alchemy has burned me out. Trying to get rank 3 recipes is absolutely absurd.

Warlocks being extremely clunky did not burn me out when being annoyed with how they played.

Getting three junk legendaries on my Warlock so my fourth one will not come for a while which actually got me to think of paying for a Warlock boost and leveling it is annoying to this day. Especially when I see those horrid pants that I tried to DE and the system would not allow me.

No, but after crafting 1,200 ancient rejuvenation potions in the last few days (900 after the patch went live that was supposed to increase obtaining rank 3), I have become burned our on this game. This crap after it took me easily over 400 Int flasks to get rank 3.

Alchemy can go die in a fire. Blizzard has ruined professions with this RNG crap.

Legendaries are wildly unbalanced. It would be one thing if you had one that was a 10 in some situations and a 0 in others, compared to others that might be a 5 all the time. But that's not how they do it. They make it so some legendary is a 10 all the time in all situations while another might be a 5 in just the right situation and a 0 everywhere else. I have Saphuz's Secret for example and it sucks hardcore ass. You can't use it in pvp, so it's good for basically nothing but clearing trash.

Took a few weeks off during my move and now when I log on I have no idea what I'm supposed to do besides WQ.
