Would be so stupid if Blizz tried to balance around those fights. | ||

Blizzard just didn't balance HFC past the initial patch and a few tweaks, we had awesome specs and shit specs for probably a year with no changes. Also - really no specific fight length. I was just saying that the super long sims are probably the least imbalanced because most of the bad specs do much worse in a fight that's like 2m15s rather than 6 mins. | ||

Lots of guild progressed with fully upgraded ring and valor upgrades but as long as you manage to achieve achi/mount before tier changes most are happy with that, or getting their rank whatever they were aiming for. And I'm not really sure why'd people who progress 10 months later, only happens during last tier when there's content drought going, would care much about balance anyway. | ||

I think Blizzard was aware that they can't balance around the ring effect. Each class is going to perform differently at different durations so adding a huge multiplier to a certain duration is balance suicide. Everything I've heard from top players (objective view) and Blizzard (liable to be biased but is the most knowledgeable) is that everything is viable. Internal raid teams clear the content with a variety of classes and with no addons. | ||

Even if you don't have a flying mount you can often sit near the main site and one or two skull mobs will spawn there during P3 and give you a nice chunk of exp. Only reason to farm the little mobs during P3 is if you are stuck with a ground mount and can't keep up with the main zerg group, then you can farm the other mobs. Also keep in mind there are some skull or "named" mobs that people intentionally skip because they just tend to one shot everyone and aren't worth the time. | ||

Anyway, back to Legion hype! I left WoW at the beginning of Cataclysm but couldn't resist the urge to come back before Legion. Somehow it looks much more exciting than WoD, and much much more than Pandaria (just the title and the happy pandas theme convinced me not to come back). And now in just 3-4 weeks I have 4x100 chars... God I hate myself again! My last char took 22h to level from 1-100 thanks to the invasion (although I started after they nerfed the EXP on P1/P2). Opening the chests at the end was cool, full 700+ gear instantly for all the specs (druid). Druid hasn't changed much since I left WoW, I really dig Demo Lock (insane burst), I'm a bit confused with Disc Priest which was my favorite spec/class back in BC/WotLK/Cataclysm (no heal burst, that's not new, but now it's almost more efficient to damage people to heal allies), and DH can be really fun when you're not being focused. I have no idea what to main for Legion. Probably Demo Lock > Resto Druid > Disc Priest > DH. | ||

What i would say, how i would now look at playing a class would be on the base of its Artifact tree, i looked at prot warriors the other day because i haven't done so. Haha its so freaking broken xD we are the best tanks right now due to how insane Ignore Pain is, literally most broken thing ever, yet the Artifact buffs it even more so, going to be great :D | ||

Stronger raid heal, good dmg on range and also more utility with spirit link, sprint totem, 10% hp buff etc. Anyone got an informed opinion on this? Yes Shaman is the stronger healer (RDruid and RShaman are the top 2) but unless your playing at the very top end you should just play what you enjoy most. Everything is viable. | ||

Everything is viable. This very much. My main has been MW Monk for all of WoD and even with pre-patch changes was feeling like it was very possible to stay competitive with the other heals in my group. Some fights it's pretty easy to be outperformed by certain classes but it can be pretty rewarding to know that even just staying competitive means you are often preforming at a high level. Besides I'd much rather feel engaged by having a slightly harder healing rotation (I actually enjoy the new fistweaving build quite a bit, though there are a few fights when range issues mean it is better to spec into a normal ranged healer build) whereas Resto Shaman tends to be dominated by spamming Chain Heal. + Show Spoiler + No hate on Resto Shaman, I haven't mained RShaman since WotLK, but my impression is that it hasn't really changed much besides some CD's and talent choices. Really I think it should come down to what you prefer to play and what the needs of your raid group are. If you really prefer the play style of one healer over another, go for that, it's always better to ensure you have fun playing your spec when wiping to a progression fight. If you don't mind which class you play too much and your raid could benefit from one healer's CD's more than another then that might be the best choice for your group. If you don't enjoy what you play then you will just hate life during progression nights, wiping to the same boss over and over. | ||

WOD is the biggest wtf so far from blizzard, if they continued adding content and balancing for the last 15 months and legion came out at a similar timescale to previous expansions it would have just been a below average expansion. They didn't/couldn't so it's wtf. Hopefully legion is worth | ||

monk has stronger single target heals as far as i can see it. monk als has i think the strongest legendaries, especially the pants are just nuts if they stay this way, its almost all your global cooldowns filled with enhanced heal spells. Both have strong artifact trees. Shaman definately has strong raid heals as usual and utility. The shaman ranged damage costs mana i think though. Monk has a place in addition to a shaman in my opinion and for non super hardcore no class seems to be mandatory anyways. I am confident i can be a positive addition to a raid with my monk healer, which is the class i just like the most right now. | ||

Unfortunately the only thing that matters for healers in a raid setting is utility and cooldowns. Monk doesn't offer anything except for throughput which is why most top guilds including mine are avoiding them, and on the other side of things Shaman and Druid are preferred for higher keystone dungeons. If you aren't trying to do cutting edge progression none of this matters of course, but that is everyone's opinion from beta in a nutshell. | ||
