So whats the niche of each healing spec now?

All of these evaluations are on content that's not that hard anyway. When new stuff comes out and whatever nerfs and buffs have gone through add up, there's no telling what will be optimal. Even with all the theory crafting, it is not uncommon for the really good guilds to break the mold themselves, going against conventional wisdom because they found a particular solution elsewhere. The point is, guilds are still better off recruiting players instead of classes and players are better off playing what they feel is best for themselves. If a guild doesn't have a shaman already somehow then as a leader I'd certainly want someone to make one and learn to play it. I'd want one of each healer available for sure so that my healers can figure out what's best.

But just being like "let's get a shaman for progression" is usually something said at a level where performance has a greater potential to improve results than raid comp. And then they don't recruit based on performance. They limit their recruitment to the class that is already in highest demand and take what they can get. At that point, you'd find better healers who just didn't happen to choose shaman for legion.

This variety of performance can be seen every progression as you look at the first kill parses. Top guilds get the kills in unexpected ways, which is why they weren't in the pack with everyone else. Top 100 placement is then determined way more by performance since the well has already run dry on players who can consistently play well and a kill is more determined by the attempt where enough players performed well, not by strategy and raid comp. And that's where the fallacy about utility comes in, as if having a raid comp with the utility to make certain mechanics more forgiving actually results in better progression.

do i do all the zones to friendly and then go to the next or do i just complete all zones one after the other?

Dont know which is better, one unlocks world quests and the other unlocks dungeons and high ilvl leveling gear and flight paths and is faster for leveling?

I'm just getting back into the game after qutting right before HFC came out. I haven't really followed much about Legion (except the big selling points and back-of-the-box type stuff). I wanted to main a tank death knight for this expansion, but I just learned about the all of the rune (and other) changes and I'm really disappointed. Interesting resource management was the whole reason I found DKs fun in the first place. Has anyone played a lot with the new death knight? Is it any fun or is it as boring as I imagine it to be? I don't care so much about balance or sims (I'm sure that will all be reshuffled during the expansion), but I don't see blizzard going back on such a big design choice. Thanks

A decent 'rough' guide for all things leveling https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TiiI4huz4NXKfx7PGvvVTyP6xu8VaDNZ4-FEn69mOhc/pubhtml# if you haven't seen it already. Would recommend it to anyone that hasn't played the beta as most of it is accurate.


I personally wouldn't start in Stormheim, while it is a scenario if servers aren't stable or crash at all you'll be forced to restart from the beginning (it happened to me on beta).

IIRC you can use the level 100 boost to test a class without committing to boosting that class. Don't try that without triple checking first though!

Don't think you can. Boosted my hunter yesterday and was given the option to select the spec, nothing more.

I fucked up and didn't pre order (and spent my last money on unimportant stuff like food), so I won't be able to play until tomorrow afternoon when the mail arrives. FML.
