You can use a pet as MM, it's just not as good. I'm not sure how far BM is behind MM at the moment but i'm seeing some arguments from people looking to play it.
The stuff that you can and can't do as a top 1% progression raider is a nightmare especially on a fresh expansion launch. At lower levels you can and really should do whatever works for you and feels good, even if you have to play extra-well to pull it off IMO
I'd rate the DK revamps as a solid -10/10
We haven't made any progress, we've gone backwards.
DK revamp is quite controversial among the people that i have talked to about it i've only seen love or hate ratings. It's certainly very different
Still missing some of the key things that i liked about WOTLK DK's such as the feel of the runes. In WOTLK you had 6 runes that charged independantly, in cataclysm they changed it to 3 runes that have 2 charges each. I never really got over that despite trying to play DK in Cataclysm and WOD and it's still like that now - very subjective thing but it stopped me from having fun or even playing the class very well

Just got back into playing WoW again. Do you think that theyll let us fly in Draenor (without having to do the prerequisites) once Legion launches?
Actually doing that achievement right now, so I hope not. Well, if yes I still get the mount  .

Does anyone know if using this is auto-detected and bannable?
/script debugprofilestart();while debugprofilestop()<X do end;
It's a trick for putting a delay in a macro. I want to use it for switching specs and changing equipment with one button press. When I go from BM/MW to WW, I can't change equip until after I change spec, because BM/MW can't dual wield. So I give the change spec command, then use that script to wait 5 seconds (x=5000), and then the /equipset command goes through.
edit: NM I'm not gonna use it. Found an addon to automatically change equipset after changing spec.

Yes my brother who always played DK really likes the new DK.
Still for many it is pretty shit when the class you liked to play gets changed so much that it basically becomes a new class. Oh well the old is gone and I guess we will find good things about revamped classes over time. Legion is almost like a class reset where you have to find a new favorite class to play.

Wait idk when they changed it but what's with armor now? There's only one piece but the stats change? Do I need to farm a separate set for Holy/Prot or will my Ret set suffice?

Most armor has multiple main stats (in your case Str and Int). It will use whatever main stat is appropriate for your spec.
So yes your Ret gear can be used with Prot and Holy
What does not change is the secondary stats (Haste/Crit/Mastery) and different specs often have different priorities.
So there is still a reason to collect multiple pieces of the same armor but your not utterly crippled if you switch.
Note that this does not apply to all pieces, most notably neck/cloak/ring/trinkets (tho neck and ring will no longer have main stat in Legion).

Thanks a ton for this post. It makes a lot of sense and is really exciting. Are there things besides the invasion and trade skills I should do before launch? What are you staying busy with before the expansion hits?

I am leveling / trying out classes to learn what they do now and decide what I will play. Apart from that as usual things you do now will not matter much in the expansion.

I played War from Vanilla to wotlk and it hardly changed during that period. But now that Im playing one again it feels so completely diluted with the rest of the classes. One flaw that the warrior had back then was rage dumping, but the only thing I see that Blizz did to fix that was add Ignore pain plus a bunch of off-gcd shield slam dumpers. FUCKING BORING. Feels like Im playing a rogue just gathering up my energy waiting to spam ignore pain and shield block.
My rants mostly how war tanking doesnt feel like war tanking anymore. It feels like any other tanking class now.

its better than fury im sure
only thing to dump rage on is rampage, execute will probably overtake when you get that lulzy talent that makes execute increase execute damage by 5% and stacks 99 times

You are right, however that button makes us the best tank in the game now and we literally can "tank for days" im loving it from the way we were very squishy to a certain extent. Now, we run around with a 1million ignore pain shield and popping shield blocks haha its awesome. I out healers too how fun is that XD

Having a lock (affliction) in my group, is that gonna hinder us a lot when doing M+ dungeons? Cause all I hear, is how bad locks are, how they only want 1 for raids etc, but that must be bullshit, right?

Im sure it wont be that bad, always take with a huge pinch of salt when people say "x class gonna be dogshit in legion" when in fairness people are only going off beta numbers and some people not even off of that. Im pretty sure the main thing is dps between different classes are going to be 5-10% at max different for at least the first raid tier that i am convinced of. Dungeons are always slightly different as you need nice aoe and in fairness Affliction locks have that with certain playstyles so im sure you wouldn't be hindered no.

Gaps are usually bigger than that, especially between the best and worst class
If anything you can expect some pretty chaotic numbers and hotfixes like "lol we increased X spec damage by 15%" or "nerfed damage on Y main ability by 40%" in the first raid, that's what they did with highmaul to make the numbers work.

Out of all things, I would think that getting DPS simulations right would be one of the easier tasks for Blizzard.

The best specs in HFC w/ upgraded ring had about 50-70% more damage than the worst ones on 5minute+ patchwerk single target fights. (70 being survival, 50 being specs that were not trainwrecked and abandoned for three quarters of the expansion)
Blizz is usually much tighter with first tier numbers and it helps if you look on a per-class basis rather than per-spec but 5-10% is still a little optimistic i think

Affliction will be horrible on trash pulls with more than 3 targets, but that's about it. Their artifact is trash for raids because almost all the benefits it gives are "on kill", which consequently makes it very good for dungeons, but their AoE is still terrible.
Destro is going to be better for dungeons because they have better AoE and burst, however if you're at the really high mythic tiers where things stay up for a decent amount of time and you're fighting 1 or 3 of them (destro is still ahead on 2 because of the insane Havoc buff), Affliction will be better.
Later in the expansion when high tier mythics are just "pull everything and AoE" Destro is going to be king.

What fight lasted longer than 5 minutes with the fully upgraded gear/ring? Manno is the only one I can think of, but that's movement/add hell.

With shorter fight durations the spec to spec difference gets bigger, at 20 second fight the best specs were 4x better than the worst ones
