Seems a lot of complaints about lfr right now, most seem to involve lfr either too overtuned or that a large portion of the better lfr peeps now doing flex. Blizz response so far is everythings fine.

Looking for advice on stat priority for fury. I'm not hardcore but am still interested in the gameplay mechanics. I play a mix of pvp and pve and so my gear is kinda mixed as well. I don't have a problem carrying around two sets.

Here's what I've read so far:

PVE - 7.5% expertise >= 7.5% hit > str > crit > mastery > haste
PVP - 3% expertise >= 3% hit > str > crit > mastery > haste

Not sure where pvp power and res fit there...

On personal preference i'm currently aiming for more than 3% hit overall to benefit pve but also improved damage vs players as for Fury white damage is a big chunk..unless that's changed. Also going for as much crit as possible.

Anyway, thoughts/advice/tips??

You can go to askmrrobot and it will load your char giving you an idea on reforging, and the guides over at icyveins seem pretty decent on about everything else.

Nice sites!! thanks lupi. I guess that answers all my questions...if it's accurate :)

Giving me a 163k out of a possible 183 w/optimizations.

On another note i'm new back and am going through the older recent content. Isle of Thunder has the most original gameplay I've seen in WoW in a long time. Big thumbs up for blizz on that. It's way more fun than Timeless Isles for me.

It's close enough... For example I play a fire mage and everything everywhere says to gem crit>int however askmrrobot insist I use int>crit for my JC specific gems. For normal gems it says to use crit>int. :\

I took blizz on their offer of 7 days free trial.

Lvl 20 shadow priest vs lvl 21 Elite (Gold) and 20 silver. Battle took like 4-5 minutes but the deed was done. I don't ever recall this game being this easy back in the BC/WOTLK days.
I was literally getting my ass kicked by these elites on my druid and rogue.

Took 5 min to kill a single character, and this is the definition of easy now?

ya it was easy sauce ~ lol WOTLK I would've wiped and gave up

The current 'elite' leveling/quest mob means absolutely nothing like what they used to mean at vanilla/BC era. Pretty much all quests are meant to be done solo. Ever since they revamped the leveling experience back in Cataclysm they have changed it so you'll never have to need anyone else's help doing leveling quests. There are still these 'group' quests, but there are only a few of them.

I actually like it this way, too. I used to level my characters really late at night when barely anyone is online and back in the days I had to leave quests unfinished and move on because there's no way I could finish it by myself.

Warcraft Movie Release - December 18, 2015
It looks like we will see the Warcraft Movie in 2015! For now, only people that were at Comic-Con have seen a tease of what is to come.

Anyone attending Blizzcon in person or with the Virtual ticket will get some in-game goodies: WoW players get a Crusader Murloc, D3 players get a nice banner, SC2 players get a Portrait and Decal, and Hearthstone players will get a special commemorative card. Blizzcon is a little bit over a month away, taking place on November 8th and 9th!

What you did there, I see it.

What he did there was irrelevant. Naxx in WotLK was in an expansion whereas hard Naxx was in original. The comparison was for the last tier in an expansion to a previous tier in that expansion.

I did not do ICC while current. I can't compare it to Ulduar.

TK and SSC were harder than BT and Hyjal to me. SWP was an extra tier for the expansion as I see Illidan as the main bad guy.

Mists:
ToT harder than SoO

Cata:
Firelands harder than Dragon Soul

WotLK:
Someone else can comment

Burning Crusade:
SSC and TK harder than BT and Hyjal

Original:
Naxx harder than Blackwing Lair

All depends on how you want to classify it, Ulduar with yogg0 was the hardest boss wow ever put out. period. But as a raid itself overall Id say ICC was harder than Ulduar (naxx and trials dont really count as raids imo)

Ulduar was also the best raid imo. Mechanics, art, everything was great. Even some of the trash was fun.
