i cba pay 50 bucks again but its hard to resist same. is this worth getting back into? i got like, 10 chars level 85-90 on a server, mostly healers, 2 tanks and rest dpsers; id love to play casual again, maybe focus on casually competitive pvp. but i used the 7 days free just before the expansion and it wasnt attractive at all anymore - is the expansion genuinely bringing anything new and interesting worth paying for? thanks,
Very much so I'd say. It's very refreshing and the levelling's the best, period.
We're going to have to see if they can keep this up later on in the expansion though.

really liking this expansion so far, hit 100 yesterday and still having a blast. leveling experience was fun.

Just acquired the Core Hound mount. Really chilled out group with about eight people from an old guild who knew the raid leading us so was a really nice and fun experience.
Nice, I got mine yesterday as well but it was a very rough start until we kicked 2 people who kept just pulling bosses before we could explain stuff.
Had to kick someone at Golemagg because he pulled the boss as soon as we finished trash before we assigned tanks and wiped us.
Such a downer that people just can't be patient to go over simple strategy before doing bosses =/.

My group had a hunter that pulled Garr and all the trash in between Garr and Luci/Mag's room...twice.

Blizz were pretty quick about hotfixing the MC trash, which was defintely a good move. Expecting a group of 40 strangers to slog through that amount of heinous trash was a little optimistic. I'm okay with MC being more of a nostalgic trip down memory lane than a real raid.

Is it at all possible to solo-kill Sinestra?
I'm a 94 hunter, but I reckon by Wednesday when the ID resets I could be 96.

Depends if they changed Wrack, if they haven't then you wouldn't be able to solo it as a non-dispel class, and all the dispel classes probably can't meet the DPS requirement to beat her before just random damage finishes you.

Really wish they'd do a round of tuning instead of making us play with the silly lvl 90 hotfixes still in place. Locks and mages are doing pretty badly while hunters, WW monks and glad warriors are absolutely insane.

I dunno, I feel like if I can get a slightly better trinket I can consistently pull 20k single target as Affliction (right now I'm 17-19 w/o Bloodlust depending on movement factors) which is right about where most Rets and Hunters are. Haven't played with a Glad stance warrior yet. Destro, on the other hand, is kind of a mess and Demo's flat nerfs make it unviable.
The other thing is that Warlocks are fucking horrible in PvP now. The removal of curses means that you can pretty much just walk away from a Warlock and they can't do anything about it. The only CCs we have are fear and either Shadowfury, Death Coil, OR Howl of Terror (Conflag has a slow if you're destro), and even Destro doesn't really have the burst to gib anyone.

Eh on my mage i can pull fucking stupid numbers in hcs because you just chain cooldowns and things roll over and die. I hit like 60k on burst with all things popped, but when it comes to sustained dps i feel like im doing 7k at best if i get unlucky with procs. Meanwhile fire does considerably less damage than a tank and arcane is just mleh overall.

I'm talking single target bosses only. On trash, shit dies before I can even get all my DoTs up so I don't do anything.

Yeah it's the same on bosses, frost dps is fucking insane between frost orb, ice nova, crystal, icy veins and mirror images, but then 30 seconds later everyone else catches up to you on damage. Not looking good for 5+ minute fights in raids.

Moonkin feels awful. I'm lucky to break 10k on a boss fight with bloodlust and I'm sitting at 622 ilvl. Quite depressing when some other specs are pulling 20k.
It's not really the single target that bothers me, though. It's the fact that on AoE pulls I may as well just AFK. Moonkin AoE is in such a horrible place right now. It's always been really lackluster but at least during MoP I could spam dots on everything to compensate. Can't do that anymore.

I 5 manned her in MoP and we still had people die to Wrack because it exponentially increases in damage. I guess they changed it when they squished everything.

I'm not going to lie... I only pressed one single button the entire time; Starfall.

If my math is correct that comes out to about 22k DPS from a single spell. Really, a fair amount more than that because I was dead/not in combat for probably a quarter of the game.

This just in, AoE spells do enormous amounts of DPS when hitting lots of targets simultaneously.
ALERT THE MEDIA!

79 players
#1 dmg = 41m
#3 dmg = 18m
seems legit

Serejai do you have a resto offspec? If so, how much do your wraths hit for? I have this feeling that they hit harder than frostbolt/fireball...
