EPTWhich of them got the biggest overhaul, or the best overhaul? I'm especially interested in utility when playing Solo as DPS.

I basically just did the leveling experience and then unsubbed however long ago so even my main is less geared than everyone's alts. 2 weeks of Tanaan/LFR will get you into normals. Or you can just join a bored raiding guild that's willing to carry a few people since they have pretty much every piece of loot they need already. From what I hear, though, the pre-expansion patch has thrown balance out of whack as far as bosses are concerned.

Which of them got the biggest overhaul, or the best overhaul? I'm especially interested in utility when playing Solo as DPS. Talent changes are completely free now in any rest area, and every healing class has several talents that allow them to do decent enough damage to solo things. I've only played Paladin leveling up in this patch and I 2 shot things as Holy, but that's kind of to be expected nowadays, will have to wait till I hit WoD content to see how much damage I actually do. For actual healing, I prefer Druid. They received the fewest changes, have great solo potential because they can basically cross-spec one of their forms and play as Bear/Cat/Moonkin, and have a really good Talent split between raid healing and tank healing that allows them to do one or the other on a whim. Second best is Monk but I don't like Monk, and third best is probably priest because I love me some Atonement healing, though I'm not sure how effective it is since I haven't tested it post-patch. | ||

If you have gear that has int & agility (one will be greyed out) and you go into Feral Spec it will turn to Agi. If you change into Resto spec it will go to Int. | ||

I wouldn't worry about stat weights that much right now I get what your saying there, swapping gems to best stat and to gear in my bags gives a dmg increase in the range of 5-10% according to simcraft. Some secondary stats being worth almost twice as much as others is enough to overpower a small ilvl gap. Not much but it's a little edge How is DK? It looked like they removed the different rune types | ||

So I can just level as Restoration and just pick Feline Affinity in the talent tree and when I shapeshift to cat form, my gear goes agi correct? | ||

First off its Feral Affinity, using wrong names just ends up in confusion. And not exactly. If your Resto specced with Feral Affinity and you switch to cat you gain 100% of your Int as Agi. The stats do not actually change and you can have Int only gear without downside. (numbers taken from the wow forums, could have changed by now). If you however switch to the Feral spec all the hybrid Int/Agi gear will switch to Agi while pure int gear becomes useless (the Int part anyway, Secondary stats ofc function as normal). Additionally you may end up not even doing much more damage as a Resto Cat compared to just casting damage spells. | ||

Does IcyVeins provide the same type of analysis as EJ did? I don't expect as much thoroughness, just a reliance on mathematical models and empirical evidence. Like someone in that posted reddit thread said, a good portion of those theory crafters now work at Blizzard. Here's a funny little thing, someone linked/mentioned Assitant Game Director Ion Hazzikostas shittalking Noxxic, but did you guys know he was in EJ (the guild, not sure if he was a theorycrafter but it wouldn't the surprise me) and here's him casting a guide on how to speedrun through ZA + Show Spoiler + Really like the guy, really well spoken and can be one of the more blunt devs. | ||

It looked like they removed the different rune types I guess I didn't consider the people who are still progressing through HFC, for whom this stuff would be pretty important. But I think they're in the minority. Even a 10% DPS change I wouldn't really care about for just messing around in HFC, mythic dungeons, etc, for these few weeks. I guess my point is it that if you like that side of the game, then feel free to indulge, but otherwise don't fret for now. Frost DK is pretty fun imo. It'll depend on what build ends up being best, but the one I'm playing now is pretty fun, as far as having a rotation based on a priority system and having to react to things. And there's no downtime. Unholy seems a lot more boring in comparison. Really easy decisions to make with Unholy and stretches of no activity. Though maybe with higher Haste it'd feel a little better. Would still be pretty simple. Also I prefer the animations/sounds/feel of Frost. | ||

First off its Feral Affinity, using wrong names just ends up in confusion. Ugh, too much Witcher 3. I only just resubbed and haven't read everything yet. Lots of confusing stuff. Thanks! | ||
