Umm... why is it that on my hunter I cannot fit my backpack and two royal satchels vertically on the screen, but on my mage I can? They have the same actionbar setup...

Blizzcon Q&A's are always beyond stupid. for your own sanity I advice to not watch them and read up a summery of it online instead :p

Oh definitely. But what mostly made this Q&A one of the worst is the fact that no specific class questions were allowed and no one on the panel to really answer lore related questions in depth.

All in all, was a fun weekend to watch. I actually liked the Q&As, the awkwardness makes it hillarious to me. And there was the occasional legit question too (regarding transmog for example). Other than that, it's not too bad. The reaction after the question "why is Thrall the only orc with eyebrows" was actually pretty funny. Obviously lore-questions might not be the most important part of a game - but i can understand that some people actually love the lore behind it and ask about it.

Interesting also was the raid-race (what's it called?). Which Horde won, obviously. I kinda like the setting, and i like that the trash is avoidable (if you do it right).

I currently have a rogue and a warrior at level 90 on stormscale (and also an alliance monk). So I guess I'm ready to go for WoD

Currently deciding on which one of the two I actually want to play actively in WoD. I kind of want to start raiding semi-hardcore again so any advice would be welcome (I haven't raided since cataclysm).

The stupid questions like why thrall was the only orc with eyebrows just seem to me like people are just trying to emulate red-shit guy and stump the panel by asking really obtuse questions that wouldn't be answerable.

Really wish someone had asked why druids still don't have any real customization with forms, especially since the changes to character models. why they would asked questions about permanent firecat and not an actual customizable form is just odd. Firecat is obviously ridiculous but different styles of cats/bears isn't...

Yeah this is a better question. I too hate the questions, it is exactly like stupid press conferences in football. Journalists ask the most silly questions ever which are hardly related to football.

Oh well, maybe we should go to Blizzcon ourselves and ask.

Does anyone else not like how the talent system works now? Let me give you an example…

For years I had my mage bombs (Frost Bomb, Nether Tempest, or Living Bomb.) bound to number 2. It was an essential spell so it got a prime key binding. Now, for the level 75 frost talents you have to choose between your bomb, Unstable Magic, or Ice Nova. Unstable Magic is a passive so it doesn’t require a keybinding and Ice Nova replaces Frost Nova so it’s already going to be bound. The problem lies with Frost Bomb. For certain encounters or 3v3 matchups, I may need Frost Bomb so I’d have to reserve an empty slot on my bar for just that moment. So for the majority of my gameplay experience, I’m going to have to have no binding for 2. I know I could switch it up and reserve a less conventional binding for Frost Bomb but still….It feels weird to have an empty keybinding on reserve for spells that you may use in the future. This is especially true for a binding that becomes a part of your DPS rotation and not some spell that has a 2-5 minute cooldown.

I almost never use bomb anymore, it was usually bound to mouse 2 anyway. If i don't have a bomb it just becomes an empty button that I don't need anyway. The only suggestion I have to your pvp needs it put it on a button that you can "leave" empty unless you need frost bomb, like a mouse button or a shift + or Alt +.

I just use macros like

#showtooltip
/cast [talent:5/1] Living Bomb; [talent:5/2] Unstable Magic; [talent:5/3] Blast Wave

and if it's a passive who cares i just don't use that keybind.

Frostbomb isn't really valid in PvP, is it?

To me at least it seems Ice Nova for PvP is the much better option all around, i don't see the upside of frostbomb in PvP. It might have situational use (trying to get somebody away from a pillar), but even then, Nova overall seems to be stronger in relation to the whole fight.

To me it looks simply like the frost pve-AE talent. Then again, didn't play PvP since pre-patch, maybe i'm overlooking something.

Icy Nova is better for those situations anyway. It's damage isn't to mess around with and probably would prioritize it over orb/lance if i have charges saved.
