Ooooh, yeah. I knew a Teng. I've played with you before. An Orc, yes? You used to run with Black Omen I think? Or maybe the Deepwater Pirates? I know it was one of the guilds I used to dungeon/raid with on occasion but never joined up with. Back before the cross-server days. You might have known my original main character then, Jessa the Forsaken priestess.
I have discovered the addiction that is Pet Battle.I never really got that. I mean, if I want to play Pokemon, I play Pokemon, not WoW. After all, that's what Emulators where made for.
So much for leveling.
Tauren's use of 'holy' magic in Paladins and Priests is attributed to An'she, the sun … She and her mate began the practice of the Sunwalker, becoming respectively the first Tauren priest and paladin. They don't worship the same power of The Light the way the Humans, Dwarves, Draenei or even the Forsaken see it. But rather they call on the sun the way their druids call on the moon to empower them, through the grace of the Earthmother.Okay, that makes sense to Tauren priests and pallies. Objection withdrawn.
There is a silithid mount from Archaeology. It was a massive pain to get. ~.~Zin'Rokh is another one that's a massive pain. I'm just glad my warrior has an original from old ZG.
To be fair, there's nothing holy about the demon hunters and they did exist in the lore anyway. And with them being restricted to the Elven races, they do fit, if only because we won't see a flood of Draenei demon hunters or Orc demon hunters, much like the Death Knights.
, it's another melee class but it's also more focused than the others, it's either DPS or straight up tank. For all people might say about Paladins, Death Knights or Bear Druids, Warriors were really the only ones with more of a natural inclination towards tanking. Vengeance Demon Hunter (or is that Havoc...can't remember) do offer s dedicated tank spec.
Not to come off as a dealer but,
when we started getting AOE heals. I really didn't wanna heal the idiots
Well, you know, when you are sick of healing idiots, you are sick of WoW.Quite true, and you raise some excellent points which I'll attempt to address without being so flippant (and not on a phone). But in the 4 years I played on Blizz servers, and three I did on private servers, I noticed that arrogance similar to mine although common to healers in general was exaggerated almost to the point of parody by H Pallies and Disc Priests. I knew several who refused to even go on anything less than a full-guild run of anything, and reached that point, myself, on several occasions out of frustration on anything but a milk run.
The good healers are the ones who relish a challenging dungeon where the players are not at their best. When facing a new boss, this is the default, and it is where the healers can shine. Face it, once the strategy has been mastered by the group, the healers can usually more or less sit back and relax (and poke fun at the mage who pulled aggro again with invis on cooldown and is now a smudge on the floor).
<snip=agreed> When people got obsessed with numbers on the hps chart, that caused problems, because some roles didn't necessarily have high numbers, even though they kept the people alive they were supposed to.
As a side note, the tolerance levels for mistakes vary based on what class you're playing. I have made stupid mistakes as a healer and been told "nah, don't sweat it." I've made stupid mistakes as a tank and had mixed responses. And I've made stupid responses as a huntard, and had vitriol hurled at me that you would barely believe (if you weren't a veteran WoW player).
So, forgive me for my ignorance, I haven't been following this stuff.
How is this expansion different from Burning Crusade?
Blizzard seem to have been trading heavily on nostalgia in the past couple of expansions. Maybe they got a bit burned by MoP and decided that the best way to bring players back is to rehash, rehash, rehash.
Sure, back from the dead, came back wrong. Pick your favourite resurrection trope. No real difference for the purpose of this discussion.
And of course they only bring back popular characters. Say what you like about Blizz, they aren't idiots. That rather does, however, support the notion that they are primarily driven, not by narrative, but by marketing imperative.
There is no need to be afraid of killing them off when you can either resurrect them or time travel to reuse them at any time you choose, is there?
Like there's a conveyor belt where they kill a character at one station and resurrect them at the next station, before killing them at the next station and repeating the process ad nauseum.
Oh! Cool! Ok, when I build a computer that can run WoW I'll do that, then.
I briefly played when Burning Crusade came out, but I never got past level 20 or so. So yeah, the base game (which means all the expansions except Legion, right?) will be more than enough.
I'm glad to hear they've done a good job with questing in Legion. Questing in WoD was a lot of fun.
So, sorry for the continued dumb questions, but what are professions like in legion?So far in my experience:
Why are enemies called mobs?
No, everyone I know pronounces it the regular way.

Nemo, after WotLK, I really really wanted a vrykul PC. I think one of my favorite parts was the area where you would get turned into one and then everyone would ride the smallest mounts they had because it looked so silly. Can't remember the zone off the top of my head.
I just figured out that all the bonus areas disappear after you reach level cap, which sucks because now you cannot get those order hall resourced. I am no where near starting the world quests (which I hear gives a ton of resources). I still have to do Suramar and Val'Sharah (currently doing it). Awe well.No you can still do them and you can still get the resources. You just don't get 40k experience.
Do it! Do it! Do it!
People have said it's a much better expansion than Pandaria or Warlords.

Meh, if you're right, us holy pallies got stuck in melee in the last few expansions. I'll stick with private BC or LK servers if I get sucked in again.
Yeah, that is the major point of frustration now. Honestly, I would have thought Blizzard would have given some thought to raising reputation, especially for people who boosted or people who took a break, but it seems they want people to go back and forth between expansions.
No doubt about that, but the fact is it also feels like Blizzard is punishing players who have quit mid expansion. Especially because the reputation gains in Legion are, well, not consistent. Most quests reward something like 250 or so rep, while in Legion, the four you were trying to recruit for BfA were something 75-150.
Normally, you might be able to grind rep and get to Exalted with a faction in two weeks or so, even on a slow grind. With the gains in Legion, you're looking at nearly a month to raise one allied race. So yeah, it can feel like Blizzard are punishing those who are coming back.
