Expansion makes the most sense, especially since it doesn't look like we are getting a 7.3.5 with class changes which makes more sense if the next big patch is going to be 8.0 that will undoubtedly introduce spec revamps and some significant changes to the others.

I still would not be entirely surprised to see a mini tier boss event depending on how long they expect between end of argus and start of a new expansion but I have to think argus is clearly the major ending point of this expansion.

if the next expansion deals with the old gods they better make Shadow priest god tier the entire time! Which means we'll be shit. Speaking of, and I know everyone was talking about some of the things that they really enjoyed in this game, but for me it was surrender I can't think of another ability or class that I've ever played that I had as much fun as I had playing that style. The payoff magnified it but it even made Farm content extremely enjoyable because you always had that waiting for you.

Outside of that I've had a lot of fun playing this game but the things I remember most were things that I felt like I achieved something. Which is probably very strange considering it's a video game. During burning Crusade I remember feeling really satisfied after I formed all of the materials to make the crafted gear for casters finally getting certain bosses down (gruul, leo, vashj, kael, archi, Illidan) I quit mid Lich King and Pandaria is the one that I really feel like I missed the most on

I love scenarios, but I also really loved lore and the story of the overall game until WoD then I checked out completely. I'm getting back into it now but eh. Scenarios were a great way to tell story through bits of content at a time, and that's essentially what the entire class hall chain became which is great. I still wouldn't mind more though.

5k to one stat is pretty good, I guess. But that seems like a lot of effort to have everyone the same page with a trinket. Some of which may not be bis for them, which again.. is another jab at losing control over the destiny of my character. I think the pantheon buff should do "more" for the effort, regardless.

The greatest thing about MoP scenarios was all of Lore Walker Cho's shit. I liked his story times >.>

I'm sure that trinket won't cause any drama in any guilds.

I mean hey, that Wisdom one though is basically an Arcano on crack so I'm gonna wear it anyways but they really need to rethink how that trinket works in a group setting. I don't mind it having synergy with other people like the new tanking trinkets out of there if you're both wearing it buffs both of you, but that's only two people, not a quarter of the raid.

The buffs are procs, not clicks, so you just assign specific ones to specific raid members. Looser raids like our fun run night will just have to enjoy the main trinket procs. That said, those trinkets are all really nice. Arcano 2.0 is gonna be lusted over by everyone.

But now you're requiring people to take away a trinket slot completely when they might already have a BIS trinket that they can line up with their own cooldowns and gain more benefit from, yet we're going to ask them to wear this because it might proc and help everyone else out instead. & since the trinkets are different, with bad luck you might just have several of those STR only trinkets drop and I guarantee you guilds are going to require that somebody who isn't even using STR take them because it benefits the entire raid while simultaneously destroying their dps.

I'm just saying I love the idea but they need to either rethink it or make it one single trinket. I'm not using that healing trinket over that new arcano, so right there our raid is at a disadvantage if our other healers feel the same (which they do). I'm sure I could take one for the team, but I think it's just counter intuitive.

I like the idea, you get someone from each role proccing their Pantheon buff and your raid becomes Captain Planet. Yeah it's gonna cause drama, we'll have to see how it works out in practice.

I love that they used the name Pantheon for the buffs. Get your trinket and become one of the fallen.

Yeah, like I said I really love the idea of it but if it's true for it to be optimized you have to be wearing at least all 6 of them it's unfortunate for smaller raids with bad drops. Unless it's somehow like a guarantee. I loved the ring but every single person was using a ring, ya know?

Every time they all proc in synergy, the raid leader has to yell "and I'll form the head".

Blizzard once again displaying they dont know what tanks want in trinkets =(

give me a stat stick (with main stat and a secondary) and a proc that increases either armor, crit, mast, vers. its not a hard concept. the eye of fhtag off the 2nd boss in antorus is probably the closest we'll get.

pantheon items that increase my Ehp mean nothing, and ill have to stab a dps to get the arcano (depending on if the proc rate is shit or not for tanks).

Good idea in theory but they need to scrap the arcano 2.0 as everyone else said.

I'd just imagine most guilds will pump those to their highest dpsers. Lol at a tank getting one over a dps.

We finally got mythic Avatar down last night after about 2-3 weeks of progress (I don't actually have the exact wipe count) and we did it in only 2 pulls. We then just re-cleared the rest of the bosses so we can indefinitely extend for KJ.

Friend's guild got mythic KJ last night and it took them around 650 pulls. So for my guild it's looking somewhere around that number or slightly more. I am hoping we can get it before Antorus and never have to go back and kill KJ that much again.

Click to expand...

They really just have to redesign the others so they are more BIS and make the Arcano proc set a random flag for the other ones so it essentially can act like whatever. I think that would go a long way to assuaging the problem. The agility one is a cleave one which means its very situational so I doubt I'm going to use it on many fights (don't know how Antrorus is encounter wise yet). So maybe make sure they are all tuned for single target? I dunno but I think the Arcano idea alone would be almost enough.

The problem is the tank one is ok but the enhanced version adding ehp and healing isn't really worth much to most tanks. They should've just added more armor (but bears don't need it so blizzard can only do changes bears approve of)
