heavy cairn
#

I did go into (non-LFR) raids in MoP but didn't really know what I was doing tbh

#

just before legion was when I started reading up on how to actually play

hollow dock
#

That moment when you realize how wrong you were for playing. Mine was in WOTLK.

heavy cairn
#

I honestly barely played the game before MoP, and in MoP and WoD I didn't do much better. I just quested to max level and unsubbed till next expansion, silly me for effectively treating it like a singleplayer game.

#

in MoP I realized that "patches" happened, so I played a bit more then and in WoD (though I was unamused with 6.1 adding a jukebox and pretty much nothing else I cared about. legendary ring quest? who cares about a ring, I thought. at least the cloak was cool).
then my actual "realization" moment was legion pre-patch when working on my new DH (because I knew tanks were important and I didn't want to screw up)

hollow dock
#

Thats for SWTOR

terse patrol
#

i like swtor, but not enough to pay the sub

heavy cairn
#

I think I tried SWTOR for a few days

#

clearly not enough to experience the endgame, but that was back when I also didn't think too much about that

I simply didn't have any friends who played there, unlike in WoW

hollow dock
#

oh theres hardly any endgame to it.

#

I paied my 15 bucks for a month, never did after and kept playing during WoW Droughts.

heavy cairn
#

since I took an unfounded break (I can't be a tank, my life is over) in 7.2, how was that before ToS opened?

#

was it a "drought"?

#

from all indications I would think it was (story entirely composed of filler quests and reputation grind, legion assaults just for catch-up), but I'm relatively new to classifying this sort of thing

terse patrol
#

Try Warlords, that’s a true drought.

heavy cairn
#

I knew warlords was a bigger drought, but that's cuz it's a filler expansion. I just want to know if 7.2 was a "filler patch" in the eyes of others since I didn't play then

#

the challenges certainly were cool, but you would only experience 3 of them per character (unless a DH or druid) and just for a weapon appearance, most of which were datamined in 7.0 IIRC (my point being that it's less content than it appears). and honestly, with the gear most people had access to pre-ToS, I don't know if I could have classified them as "fun"

#

I assume ToS was cool, but there was a gap before ToS

#

maybe the fact that nighthold was still current provided some "relief"?

dense plover
#

7.2 had plenty of content

#

It had broken shore

#

It just was dripped too slowly

#

And it had a new dungeon

#

Which helped

#

Plus we got the chrome scenario

#

Chromie

heavy cairn
#

ah, so the chromie scenario was a 7.2 thing. well that certainly helps sway my opinion

hollow dock
#

Essentially a WoW drought is when thete is an extended period of time (6+ months) of no new patches and minimal content.

heavy cairn
#

ah, so legion hasn't really had that yet

dense plover
#

7.2.5

hollow dock
#

End of Pandaria, end of WotLK, all of WoD, end of cata, etc. These are all content droughts.

dense plover
#

There has not been a serious drought

#

And i dont think we will have one this expac

#

Because the patch is supposed to end by the 21st of september

#

The shortest patch between final raid wing and the new expac

hollow dock
#

Bfas launch is supposed to be 21st.

dense plover
#

And we will get the prepatch before that for sure

heavy cairn
#

interesting. so the prepatch and probably some other storylines related to silithus will "bridge the gap"

hollow dock
#

Indeex.

heavy cairn
#

at the moment I am pretty satisfied with the content available, but once my guild gets 11/11 H I don't know how I'll feel. I certainly didn't care back in the days of EN and ToV because we didn't get 7/7 H or 3/3 H until right before the AOTC period ended for them, so there was theoretically always fresh content

hollow dock
#

Move to mythic

#

Thats what yall should feel

heavy cairn
#

my guild doesn't consistently have 20 people to do that

hollow dock
#

Neither does mine. Thats why we have a sister guild.

dense plover
#

Or run mythic +

#

Also level allied races

#

And wait for prepatch

#

Work on unlocking the appearances that will go away

#

The +15 appearance and the heroic kiljaeden appearance

heavy cairn
#

I've unlocked all the apperances that will go away on my main

#

heroic kiljaeden isn't going away, is it?

dense plover
#

Yes it is

heavy cairn
#

crap.

dense plover
#

P[retty sure

sage tapir
#

no

dense plover
#

Check the pin

heavy cairn
#

I thought the heroic kiljaeden would stay, just the challenge base appearance going

sage tapir
#

just the mage tower one

#

yeah

heavy cairn
#

well, I want the heroic KJ ones anyway

dense plover
#

Oh

#

Yeah i mixed that up

#

Mage tower and +15

#

Sorry

heavy cairn
#

alright cool. my DH has +15 (my guild actually ran m+ for once... otherwise I would have had no hope with my M+ score lol) and both challenges, my mage doesn't have +15 but has all 3 challenges done

#

the looks for other classes that I have considered honestly aren't too compelling IIRC

dense plover
#

No kidding

#

The mage tower appearance for brewmaster looks like a ball of neon

#

I dont want that

#

U just tend balance of power

#

And i need the pvp one

#

Because its a dragon staff

heavy cairn
#

alright. so I was wrong to say that the other classes I considered didn't have compelling looks. all 3 warlock spec challenge appearances look neat

#

and how could I forget the tank warrior thing, the bearman, glowcat, and the cool looking arms weapon

dense plover
#

Yeah the warlock appearances are all pretty great

heavy cairn
#

hunter ones don't look as good as balance of power ones IMO
DK ones look really cool

#

alright so clearly I want to get the appearances for about half of my classes

#

so 1/3 of the way there, having already gotten DH and mage

#

druid I am kind of mixed about. I liked playing bear, the other specs look legit, but I don't like being forced to have warts or be a furry (I am a horde player)

#

might be worth getting in case they add more race options or if pigs fly and I switch to alliance

blissful lotus
#

I mean if you're gonna go druid is playing the furry race really that big a deal

heavy cairn
#

if I would play resto or balance, yes

#

none of my other classes are forced to be huge&furry or have warts

#

also it's not just the fur

#

I can't stand how tauren and trolls treat boots

leaden garden
#

I mean it makes sense for Tauren/Draenei

#

Not 100% sure why trolls can't wear shoes though

hollow dock
#

Toes are to irregular and itd be a pain in the ass to make

heavy cairn
#

it makes sense, but I wish it wasn't forced

hollow dock
#

Plus theyre tree hoppers

#

Tree hoppers with perfect tree hopping feet. You dont ruin that with shoes.

leaden garden
#

Jungle trolls sure

#

Forrest trolls sure

#

But frost trolls, desert trolls, zandalari... They live in places where shoes would outweigh the inconvenience of having weird feet lol

heavy cairn
#

mountain climbing definitely better with shoes lol

hollow dock
#

Thats just a sufferance of copypaste design

#

Like helves

#

And their eyes

leaden garden
#

What are the Darkspear, technically? Are they considered Jungle Trolls?

hollow dock
#

Jungle trolls yes

heavy cairn
#

yea, they were originally part of gurubashi IIRC

leaden garden
#

I guess it fits then.

#

I would think, though, that warriors, at least, would have plate-covered-boots

hollow dock
#

They were apart of the gurubashi empire but had seperated out of fear of being killed off iirc

leaden garden
#

Not gonna be jumping around trees all that much in full plate, so not having barefeet that an enemy can stab/stomp on would be beneficial

heavy cairn
#

limitations of game design

leaden garden
#

True

hollow dock
#

^

heavy cairn
#

I would argue though that playable trolls really don't hop around in trees

leaden garden
#

That's actually why I really like the t21 paladin mock-mog boots for Trolls

hollow dock
#

They ysed to.

heavy cairn
#

for casters they can't really cast when moving, and for melees they get out of range

leaden garden
#

makes it kinda look like armored sandals

hollow dock
#

Game mechanics dont equate to lore tho.

heavy cairn
#

true, but you could argue the same thing if playable trolls did have the option to wear shoes

gaunt otter
#

the quest transmog kul tiras is alliance only?

rich apex
#

Probably not

steel venture
#

there's always look-alike pieces in an expansion.

gaunt otter
#

i hope so, i liked the leather set, looks nice on my panda

hollow dock
#

It'll probably get a recolor in the dungeons

steel venture
#

and usually two quest sets that people can get

#

for each armor type.

rich apex
#

Faction only pieces have generally been pretty rare

steel venture
#

endgame legion quests gave look-alikes to the dungeon gear

rich apex
#

And the dungeons aren't restricted

steel venture
#

so i'd assume endgame BFA quests will give look-alikes to the opposite island's gear

#

given that endgame BFA quests will be based aorund "invading" the other island

leaden garden
#

Or unlocking it on one side will just unlock the mog account wide

rich apex
#

Probably

leaden garden
#

So if you plan to see the story from both sides, you can get both sets

#

Which I still haven't decided if I'm doing that or not lol

gaunt otter
#

i wont play ally just for transmog :/

rich apex
#

Welp, when most if the quest content is faction specific this time around

#

Only getting 50% of it if you don't

gaunt otter
#

too bad for me then, i don't have ally

leaden garden
#

My paladin is ally, cause I hate the Horde options for Paladin, so I'll probably do the campaign on him

#

Unless of course during the Horde campaign we connect the Prelates of Rezan to the Sunwalkers/Blood Knights, thus helping them reconnect to the light and we DO in fact get Zanda Paladins in which case I'll be rushing through the campaign to unlock them and then faction xfer lol

zinc sandal
#

I don't play melee but I hope Zandalari get paladins

#

I mean, the people want it, and it's not like they don't exist

hollow dock
#

People want a lot of things that exust

#

Dont mean they get em.

#

People want a lot of things that exust

#

Dont mean they get em.

#

Dont mean they get em.

languid yoke
#

yeah but from what it looks like, they lose their connection and right to be paladin

#

so no zandalari paladin

rich apex
#

Thank goodness we've seen the entirety of the Zandalar questline

#

Leading to the playable Zandalari on alpha

#

So we know for sure what the class options are

dense plover
#

Playable zandalari won’t be on alpha

#

They aren’t even coming with the main release of BfA

#

They are coming at a later date

rich apex
#

Are they?

dense plover
#

Yes

rich apex
#

Said where?

dense plover
#

During the QA

rich apex
#

I thought they were with launch

#

Huh

leaden garden
#

They lost their connection to Rezan, which caused them to lose faith and conviction which severed their ties to the light

#

It IS technnically possible for them to collude with the Sunwalkers and Blood Knights who could show them how to wield the light by other means

#

Or Rezan could be resurrected, or a new Loa could bestow Light powers on them

dense plover
#

They could always have a storyline where we fix Rezan or help them return to the light

rich apex
#

Anything's possible

leaden garden
#

Even blizzard isn't dumb enough to confirm lore that people have been murdering eachother over just to say "but you don't get to play one middlefinger"

rich apex
#

Because we've literally only seen the first act of the story

leaden garden
#

Exactly

hollow dock
#

Heres my issue with it all

leaden garden
#

Which would tie into why we have to get exalted/finish the campaign before unlocked Zandalari as a race

rich apex
#

(I still don't get how paladins are apparently -the- iconic Zandalari class, but still)

hollow dock
#

Youd have to indicate it to happen through the paladin flag.

#

On zandalari before hand

rich apex
#

Zandalari which are not playable in alpha yet

hollow dock
#

Cuz they aint adding classes halfway through an expac

olive mirage
#

they arnt iconic, its just they do exist and people want them

rich apex
#

Much less if they aren't coming until 8.1

#

I want night elf paladins

#

Doesn't mean I'm BETRAYED because they're technically in game and Blizz is mocking me

leaden garden
#

@rich apex Zandalari had paladins long before the Silver Hand ever existed, that's why people call them an iconic class.

hollow dock
#

I want playable dragons. Dont mean we're gettin em.

olive mirage
#

theres a whole 2 Nelf paladins right?

#

and ones dead

rich apex
#

Regardless

dense plover
#

They aren’t

#

Druids are

#

Most iconic class for zandalari is the Druid

leaden garden
#

There's 1 Nelf Paladin

hollow dock
#
  1. One of em is dead
dense plover
#

Zandalari druids, aka Dinomancers

leaden garden
#

1 and she's an outlier

#

The other guy wasn't a paladin

dense plover
#

That’s the most iconic class for them

hollow dock
#

Dealas daddy

#

He is a paladin m8

zinc sandal
#

@dense plover Actually, no.

#

The most iconic class for them is priest. They're the "priest caste" among trolls.

rich apex
#

Yeah, I would go with priest or druid

hollow dock
#

Transforming into dinosaurs and controlling them. Thats not iconic to the zandalari in the least.

zinc sandal
#

Priest, followed by Druid.

rich apex
#

Thankfully they're getting dino forms for all shapeshifts

zinc sandal
#

They're glorious

hollow dock
#

That rustles my jimmies to no end that they backed out of their no dino morphs

rich apex
#

Night elf: we have inherited the greatest druidic traditions from Cenarius himself

#

Zandalari: hysterical laughter

dense plover
#

If they go back and add unique Druid forms to everything, ill be satisfied

leaden garden
#

Nerus Moonfang is not a Paladin. His NIECE, Delas, becomes one. Nerus is not one, he's a spectre/ghost/spirit who joined the Silver Hand to give penance for his actions

dense plover
#

If they don’t, ill be disappointed, but I’m still going to make a zandalari druid

hollow dock
#

And uses paladin avilitues

#

And is labeled a paladin

rich apex
#

Other races already have unique druid forms

hollow dock
#

Even has a crummy alliance grand marshal sword.

rich apex
#

Except Highmountain I guess

hollow dock
#

Tauren just have horns

#

Nothing else is unique

leaden garden
#

What was it you said, gameplay isn't lore? 😛 Lorewise Delas is the only Paladin

hollow dock
#

Worgen just have darker skin.

#

Id argue the same on zandalari paladins from ToT yet herr we are

rich apex
#

I thought it was still fairly different from nelf forms

leaden garden
#

Except that they aren't just paladins via gameplay

#

They're also Paladins via lore

rich apex
#

googles

leaden garden
#

Prelate lore, ToT lore, and Freethinker lore

#

And now we have BfA lore backing up all of it

#

So, in this instance, lore and gameplay cooperate

hollow dock
#

Hes labeled a paladin, he uses paladin abilities, hes a paladin m8

rich apex
#

Abilities in a raid aren't exactly lore

leaden garden
#

The lore disagrees with you lol

hollow dock
#

Hes not in a raid

#

Hes a follower

rich apex
#

Oh, that one

leaden garden
#

He's talking about the Prelates in ToT

rich apex
#

Yeah

#

Like it's argueable, full stop

#

(Every race that can get priests should get paladins, imo)

#

(Well, maybe not Forsaken)

leaden garden
#

Forsaken or Velf, otherwise yeah I agree lol

rich apex
#

But I dunno if it's the hill to die on

#

Okay, yeah, velves too

hollow dock
#

Nah forsaken too.

#

Scarlet undead ecist

#

Exist*

leaden garden
#

Yeah except lorewise they maim themselves every time they use the light

rich apex
#

A super masochist Forsaken would be great >_>

hollow dock
#

So do priests. Your point?

leaden garden
#

Technically the only Priests that are part of the forsaken are Shadow Priests

#

Much like all the troll "priests" are witchdoctors

rich apex
#

Eh, they specifically said at least some use the Light, even if it's super unpleasant

leaden garden
#

It all goes back to the point that the game class you play is an archetype, not necessarily the class itself

hollow dock
#

Not true. Again, the Scarlet Undead as well as the Argent Crusade.

rich apex
#

They only give so much credit to race specific things like that anymore

#

And if we're gonna talk about archetypes

#

Paladin archetype is a shining knight

leaden garden
#

Argent Crusade =/= Forsaken, separate faction

rich apex
#

(Aside from Tauren, of course)

#

(Question is if they're still willing to say one can be a tribal paladin like that)

leaden garden
#

Also, archetype as in "Paladin" includes Paladins, Blood Knights, Vindicators, and Sun-druids

rich apex
#

The rest of the paladins are functionally similar enough

leaden garden
#

They all function differently and technically only Humans and DWarves are Paladins, but they all fall under the Paladin Archetype

rich apex
#

Sunwalkers are just the odd ones out because they decided to give pallies to another Horde race

#

They're all using the same Light tho

#

Except Sunwalkers

#

(Maybe)

leaden garden
#

Ehhhh similar but not the same. Vindicators =/= Paladins

rich apex
#

90% similiar

leaden garden
#

Blood Knights are closer to Paladins than Vindicators

#

Vindicators get their light through the Naaru as opposed to purely through faith and conviction like Humans and Dwarves do

#

Which enables them to use the light significantly more aggressively

hollow dock
#

Them being in the crusade doesnt stop them from being undead. Them being forsaken doesnt stop them from using light.

rich apex
#

They still believe in the Light

#

But man I would actually maybe play a Forsaken paladin

#

That'd be cool

leaden garden
#

Still doesn't make sense for them to be Paladins since every time they use the light they seriously wound themselves in doing so

#

Blizz can't lock priests off of them though because Shadow

hollow dock
#

Like. Non vindicators can still be aggressive in light usage tho. Look at the Scarlet Crusade.

rich apex
#

Blizz said the Light still heals them

#

It's just painful on a physical and existential level

#

Because they can feel they're a walking corpse

hollow dock
#

^

rich apex
#

So an undead holy priest is just masochistic af

#

And I am 100% for a paladin who is -super guilty- at his cursed existence and thus is super okay with being on constnat pain

#

If he can still bring the Light to evil

hollow dock
#

Any light using undead is either that or overly zealous

graceful hound
#

if a paladin is about convictions, then a undead paladin absolutely works

rich apex
#

A paladin is 100% about conviction

graceful hound
#

the question is how bad will the judgment set look with the bones poking out 🤔

rich apex
#

That's really the archetype beyond shining knights

leaden garden
#

Faith and conviction, yes

hollow dock
#

Pretty shit like all undead armor sets

leaden garden
#

^

sharp bluff
#

Did I miss the Forsaken talk?

hollow dock
#

Ye

sharp bluff
#

Darn ah well

hollow dock
#

It was just the topic of priest users getting paladins

uncut vault
#

God just the reminder of troll priests makes me mad

#

They gutted zabra hexx

sharp bluff
#

Oh, as cool as that would be I have given up on forsaken shadow paladins anymore, so I guess I am ok missing that one

hollow dock
#

I mean

#

Forsaken using light to be normal paladins is perfectly plausible

#

Like they're ashamed of their forms so they see the pain as penance.

rich apex
#

Yeeees

#

So much religious angst

hollow dock
#

Its like the perfect angle. Though none would work with or for Sylvanas.

rich apex
#

It would probably require Blizz to actually consider the internal dynamics of the Forsaken society like that, yes

#

Alas, pretty sure at Blizzcon they said they weren't really considering new combos

#

Admittedly, there aren't that many obvious ones beyond giving out more paladins

leaden garden
#

Considering they, as a whole, believe the light has forsaken them, which largely severs their connection

rich apex
#

Eh, it's not like there's supposed be that many paladins in the first place

#

They're supposed to be elite and requiring a great faith

leaden garden
#

More as the years have gone on, initially they were a small elite force

#

^

hollow dock
#

Not....entirely? The Forsaken, to my knowledge, call themselves as such because of their undeath

rich apex
#

More than the OG class with Uther, yeah

#

But still

steel venture
#

Sir Zelek's a good support for an undead pally. And hell, he was Scourge.

rich apex
#

Didn't they say in hindsight the reasoning for that was fairly wonky?

steel venture
#

Forsaken already have priests.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

rich apex
#

Like the Lich King was controlling his body but he was still aware enough to warn the players

#

But could also still use the Light

#

Despite the Lich King controlling them

sharp bluff
#

Well since Paladins in wow are faith based it makes sense ether way, as long as your faith is strong enough, and would have worked perfect in Legion, BUT i can't see it working to much while a faction war was raging

rich apex
#

But yeah, giving that pretty clear confirmation that Forsaken priests can and (if rarely) do use the Light

sharp bluff
#

and considering Blizzard's track record for horde leaders dying suddenly....

#

I think the forsaken may lose some more faith soon

leaden garden
#

Zep: depends on which Paladin you're talking about. Blood Knights gain power directly from the Sunwell and don't require faith as an aspect of their power. Vindicators get power directly from the Naaru, Sunwalkers from An'she which doesn't necessarily require "faith"

rich apex
#

I'm still not betting on any major deaths after the first act drama

leaden garden
#

Sunwalkers, as far as I know, won't lose their power just because their faith weakens or wanes, neither will Vindicators or Blood Knights

#

Human and Dwarf Paladins, however, can have their powers weakened or completely stripped if their faith and/or conviction wanes

rich apex
#

Pretty sure they all still gotta believe

#

That's the entire thing that separates holy magic from other magic

hollow dock
#

Scarlet Crusade as well Xan

leaden garden
#

It still functions differently though.

hollow dock
#

Thwyre almost entirely undead now and still use the light heavily.

leaden garden
#

Scarlet Crusade is an example of them able to wield light, despite being batshit crazy and genocidal, because they have conviction that their cause is just and faith in the light

sharp bluff
#

But if the sunwell gets destroyed again then they are screwed lol

leaden garden
#

Yep

hollow dock
#

Still undead.

leaden garden
#

And faith won't do shit for them

#

And, once again, they severely wound, nearly kill, themselves in wielding it

#

Forsaken masochism aside, they're still not suicidal

sharp bluff
#

But ya, I can see the Forsaken becoming paladins since human paladins are faith based, and forsaken being ex humans means that they potentially could work, but at this point I almost think we are more likely to get Murlocs as a race then Forsaken Pallys

#

Just like Tauren Rogues lol

willow frost

tauren physically cannot be rogues

and that's a freaking horse.

#

Plus, yknow, its magic

And since Tauren are based more on Bulls anyways, who have padded hooves

steel venture
#

Imagine a tauren or draenei, that have cloven hooves. Cloven hooves are padded---YEP.

those are Tauren rogues laughing at you

Eheheh

I noticed him 1st week

meager warren

I wonder if they're gonna make a hybrid of Paladin and Death Knights.
Blood Paladins, when Bliz?

leaden garden
#

I'm actually wondering what, if any, classes they could still implement

#

We got a monk, which people have asked for for a long time. DH's were this xpac, and while I don't know if they were requested they were implemented pretty well I thought

meager warren
#

they were in TBC.
They just became playable this expac

rich apex
#

Void Knights

uncut vault
#

Tinkers are still a popular request

leaden garden
#

A Void Knight would be interesting. A shadowy version of apaladin

#

Tinkerer / Necromancer as pet-based classes

uncut vault
#

Mixing the wc3 tinker and alchemist into a class would be great

#

Alchemy heal spec, turret/summons dps spec, mech tank spec

Paladin Undead for WotLK2

But I haven no idea how they'd design it without cannibalizing unholy DKs and demo locks

#

Which is, of course, why I don't work for Blizz 😛

#

I mean, unholy losing half of their undead army in BfA

leaden garden
#

You make it a pet based/buff class

uncut vault
#

No apocalypse

sharp bluff
#

Well unholy is losing their 90 second cd summon so....

leaden garden
#

There was a class in City of Heroes/Villains called "Mastermind"

hollow dock
#

And? Thats an extension of their summoning undead

#

Not their focus

rich apex
#

But necromancer is admittedly one of the last archetype classes from WC3 that can possibly stand on its own as a class

leaden garden
#

You got 3 tiers of minions: basic, advanced, ultimate. 3 basic, 2 advanced, 1 ultimate pet. You get a few attacks to help as well as buffs and heals if you spec into them

rich apex
#

And doesn't need some mechasuit design like tinkers

guys what are these rumors i heard,of vulpera having faction specific colors?

#

is there any basis to it

hollow dock

Nothing but rumors

leaden garden
#

Could work in WoW too, it'd be like making a whole class out of expanding and steroid-ing Beast Mastery

Well there is Festergut... but he is just kinda there, I guess Valk/gargoyle also... then our 10min CD spell that I only get to use maybe twice a dungeon lol

But like they already established demo locks as 'dark magic class with waves of temporary minions'

And unholy DKs as 'plagues and undead pet'

And we have enough edgy classes anyways

Blizz just needs to give em some undead cosmetic glyphs

Idk i feel my unholy deals more with plagues then minions without Apocalypse

That's how I always saw Unholy too, Zep

#

They're not gonna change the most iconic aspect of a warlock via a glyph

leaden garden

plagues and diseases

#

Blood = War, Unholy = Pestilence, Frost = Death

#

That's what I always viewed it as

sharp bluff
#

Ya the minion is just kinda there anymore, I mostly just plague and run on mobs anymore

uncut vault
#

Well tbf, plague is kinda always undead related in WoW

sharp bluff

Plague+Death and Decay

#

Mmhm

sharp bluff
#

I would settle for a tinkerer/alchmest class though

leaden garden
#

I played a DK back in Wrath and I have one at 110 just cause I wanted to see the Frost artifact story

#

Outside of that, meh, stick to my paladin and my warrior-paladin-wannabe

uncut vault
#

All I'm saying is, if they can do this much work for weapons and forms for every spec, the art team should probably have time for diverse mechs

We can dream

Especially if the mech is functionally just a druid form

They also already gutted a talent on the alpha that made the spec flow properly

No thought process=boring for me

It's almost like alpha is a work in progress

That's why you like arcane mage? LOL

Ya but progress in the wrong direction isn't a good thing

leaden garden
#

What talent, Porter?

uncut vault
#

The one that made quick shot have 1-2 free charges

hollow dock
#

You clearly dont play arcane then

uncut vault
#

Gave time to generate focus for your aimed shots

#

Now it doesn't reduce the cost, but reduces its gcd, meaning it's worse to use quick shot

leaden garden
#

Oh you're talking Hunter

#

Arcane Mage has had 3 buttons for like 10 years, and you wanna talk about no thought process? At least with Ret I have to try and maximize my Judgment window and not use HP when it's off the target, which requires me to pay attention to boss debuffs and my own rotation/cooldown.

hollow dock
#

3 damaging buttons yea. But those 3 damaging buttons is far from the entire rotation of Arcane.

leaden garden
#

I'm glad you enjoy Arcane Mage, dude, but don't sit there and say "Arcane's 3 buttons are way more intellectual and thought-provoking than you boring groundpounders"

hollow dock
#

I'm not

#

you're the one pushing that narrative onto me

#

The most I've ever said is 'I enjoy arcane mage because it gives me more thought process than any melee I've played'.

leaden garden
#

"No thought process=boring for me" in reference to melee/Paladin

#

"Melee = no thought process = boring. Arcane's 3 buttons are for me!"

#

eyeroll

hollow dock
#

In reference to your comment of 'For you, maybe'

leaden garden
#

Yes, you literally made the argument that melee doesn't have a thought process

hollow dock
#

Again, I will iterate that arcane is a lot more than just 3 buttons. Especially now-a-days to maximise.

#

Why can't we link direct pics here I have the perfect pic

oh yea. For some reason mobile doesn't remove that button but the desktop and I think web clients do

leaden garden
#

Idk, I can't Ctrl+V images into chat anymore either

hollow dock
#

Anyways lemme take the hit and be the big boi and come halfway benj: In terms of pure rotation, yes arcane mage is more boring. However, as I iterated before, Arcane mage gives me a lot more decisions to make during a raid fight than just the buttons I hit which melee simply hasn't.

leaden garden

You just have to throw in the backhand with that don't ya?

N'zoth eats the world if we don't get our shit together

Not smart though. Actually, revisiting the faction war isn't a smart thing in general but w/e

Definitely an interesting direction

But they can't have an actual winner and loser, so

And (hopefully) they can't have Sylvanas go Full Garrosh already

Because god forbid the Horde be the honorable people they're supposed to be

leaden garden
#

I mean she's basically already Girl-Garrosh

they were when Vol'jin led

But blizz said "Wait, we can't have a troll be a major NPC! Kill'im off like a bitch"

#

Let's make the Edge-Queen the Warchief, that's a great idea

Admittedly, there wasn't that many obvious choices left

Until Saurfang and Baine got new models and lines in a cinematic, anyways

You mean regular orc with no powers?

Thrall, yeah

sharp bluff
#

Forsaken by the elements

leaden garden
#

Yeah cause the mofo cheated lol

sharp bluff
#

Gave away his hammer

heavy cairn
#

well his hammer was taken, and then when the farseer picked it up after doing some recycled cata quests, he realized the farseer knew how to use it better than him so he let the farseer keep it

leaden garden
#

Thrall was supposed to be the honorable one. Cheated and kicked around himself, he was supposed to be the one who valued honor above all else. And then GARROSH turned out to be the one who showed up honoring the rules of Mok'gorah

#

Thrall shows up in his armor, wielding doomhammer, and kills Garrosh with magic. There's only 2 rules and he broke them both! Lol

sharp bluff
#

At least Sylvannis keeps her word... I kid I kid

leaden garden
#

lol

heavy cairn
#

garrosh used a weapon too, did he not? using magic was certainly crossing the line though since garrosh did not have this opportunity

leaden garden
#

OSX

#

Garrosh came to the duel with no armor or weapon

#

The rules of Mok'gorah allow you to choose ONE weapon if you want to

#

In which case you may choose a weapon OR shaman magic

heavy cairn
#

ah, I see

leaden garden
#

And even then, iirc, you get one element

#

You can't use your entire array of shamanistic powers

heavy cairn
#

yea thrall went too far...

leaden garden
#

But Thrall showed up wearing armor, with Doomhammer, and then used stone, fire and lightning to kill Garrosh

#

Because Thrall didn't want to lose

#

because Garrosh was channeling years of anger at being abandoned, again, and left with the responsibility of Warchief that he DID NOT WANT

heavy cairn
#

elements abandoned him because water felt left out /s

leaden garden
#

He was a soldier, a grunt, he was good at it and wanted to stay at it. But then put in power, he did what a soldier does

#

He went off to war and unfortunately got WAY carried away

#

They could've done a lot better withhis development tbh

heavy cairn
#

true but a game isn't the perfect platform for storytelling

leaden garden
#

Quite frankly, during the cutscene with their duel, I was rooting for Garrosh

heavy cairn
#

I was also rooting for garrosh simply because he was actually beating up thrall before thrall cheated

leaden garden
#

He was a dick, and a war criminal certainly, but he seemed to be 100% justified in his rage

sharp bluff
#

A real shame since playing through some of the old zones he seemed cool

#

Level scaling actually allowed me to finish that arc

leaden garden
#

He had his moments

#

He seemed to bounce back and forth between whiny bitch and epic warrior

#

It's like the writers couldn't make up their minds if they wanted him to be the exact opposite of Grom because of his shame for his namesake, or if they wanted him to live up to the badassery that was Grom Hellscream

Finally. People who understand that Thrall is an honorless cheater.

he's still Green Jesus tho

I TOLD YOU ALL

#

I DON TOLD YOU ALL

He has always been the lich king

He was the lich king before Arthas

Nerzhuls spirit is the one in the armor

sharp bluff
#

DK class missions = best class missions right Vris?

dense plover
#

But that doesn’t change him being the lich king

rich apex
#

Well, older stuff sure implied it was just Ner'zhul's spirit

#

And the old Arthas novel said that Arthas killed Ner'zhul's spirit

hollow dock
#

You misunderstand Peach, I have been a strong proponent that Lich King, Ner'zhul and Arthas are all seperate Entities.

sharp bluff
#

Well Arthur is in Frostmourne

dense plover
#

They are

#

Well

sharp bluff
#

Not in the armor

dense plover
#

No

#

Nerzhul is the lich king

#

Until Arthas is the lich king

#

But that’s still sort of nerzhul

sharp bluff
#

Arthus’ stupid auto carrot

dense plover
#

It’s like two spirits in one body and a suit of armor

heavy cairn
#

I would argue that the armor enchanted with ner'zhul's soul likely had magic of its own. you'd expect a prison of sorts made by the burning legion to have some sort of restrictions

sharp bluff
#

Then Arthus gets pulled into frostmourne when it breaks, DK artifact quest

#

We find him in the shards

heavy cairn
#

surely the personality of "the lich king" was ner'zhul, but I don't think it is wholly ner'zhul

dense plover
#

well Arthas already had given his soul to frostmourne

hollow dock
#

and Arthas tells us that we're still bound to him. Him being the Lich King.

dense plover
#

That’s the curse of the blade

#

It consumes your soul

heavy cairn
#

yes, arthas was already in the blade

dense plover
#

Yeah

#

As he should be

#

When he picked it up, it cursed him

hollow dock
#

Not Bolvar or Ner'zhul, but the Lich King itself. We're bound to that curse the Legion created.

dense plover
#

But nerzhul is the lich king

#

He is the spirit of the armor

#

There isn’t another entity beyond him

but he's not the helm.

#

Yes he is

steel venture

it's kinda been retconned for a while?

#

The helm of domination was part of the armor

rich apex
#

Who knows what it is now

#

But

uncut vault
#

it's always been doubted whether or not arthas' vision of killing nerzhul was correct

rich apex
#

The text specifically says The Lich King and not Ner'zhul

#

Which is interesting

uncut vault
#

because he also killed the boy

dense plover
#

Well yeah

rich apex
#

This is, after all, the whole point of the Chronicles 😛

uncut vault
#

yet the boy was around in Wrath

dense plover
#

Nerzhul technically died

steel venture
#

Legion kind of literally did say that Ner'zhul's fragments and Arthas's fragments now lived in the blade

dense plover
#

His body was destroyed

#

If I take your soul and put you in armor and call you the lich king, you are yourself, you are the lich king

hollow dock
#

the thing is peach, until now, it's always been the Lich King and Ner'zhul were interchangable

#

now that's no longer the case.

dense plover
#

Oh

#

I actually never noticed that

#

Guess they are confirming they are one and the same then

#

Or there is some kind of transition?

rich apex
#

Yeah, far as I remembered, it used to be more that Ner'zhul might have been changed, obviously, but he was still Ner'zhul, bound to the armor or not

dense plover
#

Becoming the armor means not being nerzhul anymore?

#

idk

rich apex
#

Possibly

#

It's one page 😛

hollow dock
#

Hence why the seperation of Ner'zhul from the Lich king entity is such a big happy day for me. I theorize that once you merge, scraps of you are left behind.

dense plover
#

It’s unclear from the little bit

#

Well we have evidence of that

rich apex
#

But it's just interesting that the text isn't saying Ner'zhul, and calling it an enity

dense plover
#

We killed arthas

#

But some of his soul lived on in the blade

hollow dock
#

Think of it like going through a shredder. The paper is apart of the garbage but pits are still there and can be identified.

dense plover
#

And part of nerzhuls soul somehow

#

Even though I’m pretty sure the blade wasn’t legion@made

#

No clue how nerzhuls soul got into the blades

hollow dock
#

It was. The whole scourge was legion made.

rich apex
#

"The Lich King would never forget Kil'jaden had done to him"

still betting nerzhul is inside the helmet, but he was just frragmented with arthas' icicle vision

"In an effort to stave off the curse of flesh, the Dragonflayers went to sleep beneath northern Kalimdor in facilities such as Gjalerbron.[10] The Tribunal of Ages, a record of false history created by Loken,[11] erroneously claims that he ordered this hibernation. "

There has been Thrawl bias for years, not horde bias

slate ingot
#

Zandalari is its own model

spice rain
#

Dinosaurs > glowing beards

slate ingot
#

It's its own skeleton and everything

hollow dock
#

Not entirely. It's half troll half nelf.

#

Thrall Bias =/ Horde Bias

#

Horde bias being what you claimed there'd been lots off.

heavy cairn
#

yes, zandalari is unique but doesn't solve any problems other than "hunching"

#

no shoes, etc.

slate ingot
#

What thrall bias lol

hollow dock
#

green jesus

tranquil steeple
#

Misread who said it

slate ingot
#

Metzen had a hard on for green Jesus but that's besides the point

hollow dock
#

he's literally green jesus

tranquil steeple
#

My bad.

heavy cairn
#

so horde may get two new druid races but they are literally subraces that are barely different. alliance is wrong to be complaining about horde getting "better" races when both factions' situations are basically the same

slate ingot
#

Horde has had no areas get destroyed outside of maybe one or two while alliance gets fucked every expansion.

dense plover
#

Lol

#

You’re kidding right?

#

do you live in imagination land?

heavy cairn
#

horde gets destroyed areas...

#

more than one or two

sharp bluff
#

Thrall got all the bias on horde side, horde as whole is only just getting it

slate ingot
#

You mean camp taurajo

spice rain
#

Horde are getting recolours and new models, alliance are getting recolours, thats why people are saying horde bias

sharp bluff
#

Horde has always had uglier zones compared to alliance, for example WoD, look at the zones that they start in

hollow dock
#

^

#

Exactly what I had said earlier :v

slate ingot
#

WOD was a shit fest in general

sharp bluff
#

Horde gets Ice and spikes, Alliance gets a beautiful valley

hollow dock
#

Its beginning really wasn't.

dense plover
#

Also, at least alliance has stable leaders

#

Horde goes through warchiefs like candy

hollow dock
#

^

#

y'all are on what

heavy cairn
#

yes, alliance gets pretty zones, at the cost of sometimes getting destroyed. but horde zones aren't immune either

spice rain
#

Wtf? Shadowmoon was shit in comparison to frostfire, cmon frostfire is amazing

hollow dock
#

warchief number 5?

spice rain
#

Looks, not questing btw

dense plover
#

What?

#

Shadowmoon was gorgeous

hollow dock
#

I absolutely loved the forested planes of Shadowmoon compared to the glacier plains of Frostfire tbh

spice rain
#

Yes, but frostfire was better

dense plover
#

Frost fire was ice and black mountains

slate ingot
#

Frost fire was nice the garrison was dog shit but the zone itself was nice

dense plover
#

It was objectively not better

heavy cairn
#

shadowmoon is a lot prettier than frostfire in my opinion. frostfire is certainly the prettiest winter-themed zone, but doesn't make it better than shadowmoon

dense plover
#

It was less varied

#

It had a less interesting geography

hollow dock
#

Everything the horde makes that isn't elf is horrible to look at mana

#

that hasn't changed since vanilla

dense plover
#

And it had less interesting side stories

#

Woah

hollow dock
#

theyre meant to be more barbaric, cobbled together

spice rain
#

@dense plover btw all my toons are alliance, so not even fanboying

dense plover
#

Slow your roll vris

#

Thunder totem is awesome

#

Thunder bluff is awesome

#

And now we get zuldazar

spice rain
#

Sky cows

frosty matrix
#

Thunder Totem didn't start out as intrinsically Horde to be fair

heavy cairn
#

thunder totem made before horde, but I have to say "prime" tauren structures are fine

dense plover
#

That shit is supreme awesome

hollow dock
#

Indeed. the horde didn't make thundertotem

frosty matrix
#

Anything Orcs make look like dogshit though 😄

hollow dock
#

re-read what I've stated.

dense plover
#

I like some of the orc structures though

#

It’s just that a lot of them in one place feels like too much

hollow dock
#

Post garrosh when y'all went Ironclad yea it looked somewhat better

#

still looked like absolute eyesores though

spice rain
#

ME ORC, BUILD HOUSE, PUT MANY SPIKES

frosty matrix

LOL

dense plover
#

It defends you from aerial pigeons landing on your roof

hollow dock
#

yea those Aerial Pigeons are a true terror and threat to teh stability of the horde

sharp bluff
#

The only three alliance leaders I like (not counting pandas) are the gnomes, space goats, and dwarfs
-Humans/Worgen i can't trust
-after a certain legion zone i hate Nelfs more then ever (Tyrande TYRANDE TYRANDEEEEEE) also they are the reason we have Shelfs

hollow dock
#

MORE SPIKES NOW

spice rain
#

Not counting pandas

#

Out.

dense plover
#

The tyrande thing was funny tho

sharp bluff
#

Pandas are cool on both sides

#

I can stand them

hollow dock
#

I dont get why people hated it

dense plover
#

Why hate night elves for Xavius mocking them?

hollow dock
#

it was literally the best ten minutes of trolling ever done in legit warcraft canon

dense plover
#

It’s funny

#

^

sharp bluff
#

Tyrande is the reason we have Shelfs, Allaince hate her more then I do

#

since they lost out on shiny elfs, and got emo elfs

dense plover
#

high elves haven’t gone because of her

#

High elves are still part of the alliance

#

But they are visually too similar to blood elves to ever be playable

#

Literally the only difference is a slight skin tint change and eye color

sharp bluff
#

Honestly though, only 3(and a panda) out of 7 leaders I think are good leaders, that is not really good odds

spice rain
#

@sharp bluff Shelves*

jovial coral
#

Same could be said with orcs

sharp bluff

Sorry it auto corrects Bowbee

spice rain
uncut vault
#

nah its shelfs

sharp bluff
#

On horde, I trust Suarfang, Baine, Panda, Belf, the spirit of Voljiin

uncut vault
#

like belfs and nelfs

heavy cairn
#

belves and nelves

sharp bluff
#

still undecided on Sylvanis

heavy cairn
#

elf plural = elves

#

nelf = night + elf

#

nelves = night + elves

hollow dock
#

wait

#

what

heavy cairn
#

same with shelves

sharp bluff
#

shal'dorei

hollow dock
#

Noalliance hates Tyrande

#

what are you talking about

#

and she is not the reason the Shal'dorei joined the horde

#

she didn't help in that regard, but she wasn't the cause of that

heavy cairn
#

zep, I think it's shiny, but shal'dorei also works

uncut vault
#

they joined the horde because blizzard wanted them to join the horde

sharp bluff
#

Really? evn though what happened in suramar, where she insults the Shal'dorei non-stop?

hollow dock
#

First off

#

she didn't insult them non stop

#

it was once.

leaden garden
#

They joined horde because the Horde was nicer to them than the alliance, Tyrande was a bitch, and they have a kindred spirit in the elves that also used to be mana-crack addicts like they were/are

hollow dock
#

Secondly, she was interacting with people who backstabbed her then had the gall to invoke the 'kindred spirit' thing when they turned their backs on her collectively.

sharp bluff
#

It was more then that, every incursion quest she did on horde side

hollow dock
#

She hates horde. what else is new

#

They tried to burn down her home

#

twice

heavy cairn
#

wait, when?
also lol third time's the charm

sharp bluff
#

No i mean she insulted the Shelfs' (not horde we had the other elf insult us horde every time) every quest

#

The other chick insulted us horde everytime

spice rain
#

Tyrande: speaks with concern
Thalyssrah: "f*ck you we gnna join the horde and murder you lmoa"

hollow dock
#

^

heavy cairn
#

thalyssra already proved herself as a bad leader in my eyes

sharp bluff
#

They will ether learn to live without the well, or die

hollow dock
#

Tyrande has legitimate concerns and Thaly gets insulted by it. She tries to force Tyrandes cooperation with guilt and nostalgia, Tyrande in turn does not take kindly.

heavy cairn
#

the issue I have is that the nightwell only was the way it was because of being cut off from azeroth (that's the theory, the actual reason is unexplained)

#

they didn't really have to destroy it. why can blood elves keep the sunwell but not nightborne elves with the nightwell?

hollow dock
#

They're bitches to each other for their ideologies.

#

They did though. The Legion wouldn't stop coming after it and unlike the Sunwell, it wasn't going to get light blessed anytime soon.

#

They had the means to break its hold on their people, a symbolic breaking of the old chains.

sharp bluff
#

From a horde standpoint it sounded like all she said was bitch, your people will man up or die, we wont help you

#

not a single care for the people

heavy cairn
#

that is a pretty big symbol to use

hollow dock
#

Because she was there to fight and win a war. not make friends.

heavy cairn
#

tyrande is justified, this is on thalyssra

sharp bluff
#

Belves did both, and quite well

hollow dock
#

Zep doesn't believe such.

spice rain
#

Tyrande: "ur mom gay"
Thaly: "no u"
joins horde

hollow dock
#

Belves did both because they had common ground.

rich apex
#

Nuance? In an elf story?Ha

#

insert character here is just a bitch, clearly

sharp bluff
#

My Bias is mainly from the horrible quest line that dealt with her a few zones earlier

hollow dock
#

They had been in the same situation as the Nightborne and thus had more commradery in such.

uncut vault
#

its still literally just "How dare she imply I'll betray her like the last two elven leaders? just for that, im going to betray her!"

hollow dock
#

Again Zep

#

that was the best 10 minutes of warcraft trolling

#

ever

sharp bluff
#

I see the alliance becoming more military like ether way

rich apex
#

Implying Thalyssa made any agreement with Tyrande beyond 'let's kill elisande and defeat the legion'

hollow dock
#

The alliance has always been more militaristic.

sharp bluff
#

either way, give me more gnomes over elfs

hollow dock
#

You got more gnomes back in cata.

rich apex
#

Keep dreaming fam

hollow dock
#

that's really all they've needed to do on the world scale because theres not much else presence for them anywhere on Azeroth

sharp bluff
#

I will lol

#

Like i said 3(4 if count pandas) leaders only make half the leaders I trust, I will trust the Prince-ling again when he get the worgen outta his ear

#

But we shall see

#

who knows maybe BfA will change my mind

hollow dock
#

Why wouldn't pandas count?

rich apex
#

Implying the pandas will do anything

sharp bluff
#

Well on both sides they really havnt done much since SoO

#

so idk what to say, i dig them

hollow dock
#

I love them both.

sharp bluff
#

but not much has happened plot wise

hollow dock
#

Theyre just star crossed lovers who unfortunately, had to pick a side.

sharp bluff
#

The horde one just kinda meditates in our hut

hollow dock
#

I take it you dont read the books

sharp bluff
#

And i hear their are currently 2 of the alliance panda a few seconds away from each other currently

#

One at the lake, and one in the embassy

#

I did not, but I did enjoy the starting zone, the story of those two was lovely, and it is sad when I see them in SoO

#

I have not done the Monk class quests yet, but I know they are there on the turtle

#

So I am glad they met up again, even if just for a bit

uncut vault
#

arthas did nothing wrong

hollow dock
#

they also met up during War Crimes

#

the novel that is

#

and they were described as slinking off for supposed nuptials.

sharp bluff
#

uh huh, little cubs when?

hollow dock
#

They'd be alliance cubs, but no idea when

sharp bluff
#

I know they would, but good for them

hollow dock
#

They've been one of those adorable couples in WoW.
