It took me way to long to figure out what to main but I think I settled on DH and warlock... I love all 5 specs ( hated havoc until i really sat down with it and ran a bunch of dungeons) and if they really do something amazing with shadow in 8.1 i'll have it at max as well... going to try and maintain 2 toons as mains and keep shadow in the wings

As far as preparation goes, do you have to do any of the prepatch stuff (like the battle for lordaeron). Already did it on one character, don't want to do it on others.

Was set on prot paladin but I spent the last few days leveling my hunter and I think I might go with that. I actually kind of like MM hunter now. It's a fairly slow rotation since your aren't mashing a key every GCD, and there's no secondary resources to juggle or popup abilities to react to. I can see why people might find it boring but I don't really care for the ability-whackamole rotations that some specs have.

This is very important advice, if you forget and keep war mode you are going to have a bad time in silithus.

Legion was a very, very good expansion from an overall perspective. But it had a lot of problems. And it was VERY buggy at release. There was tons of DDoSing, problems with M+ key bugs, problems with quest bugs (anyone remember trying to start aszuna and then having Khadgar just disappear when you landed and even abandoning quest and trying to restart didn't fix?), problems with class bugs (remember disconnecting every time you tried to leave your order hall as a warrior?), Bad Luck protection actually being Good Luck Enhancement at first, Queues getting stuck at 1 and never moving, Having to clear your battle.net cache so you could even hit the "Play" button on the launcher, the reintroduction of loot lag, etc etc etc.
A lot of people are comparing it to WoD, which I didn't experience so I have no comparison, and I guess if WoD was that bad anything is better? But Legion was the worst launch I remember since Vanilla outside of that and MoP and WoD are the only launches I didn't experience. TBC, Cata, WoTLK were all much better than Legion from an overall bug and stability perspective. I think I may be confusing actual launch vs when Mythic + and Mythic raids were released in Legion as far as DDoSing and not being able to login or actually play, but there were a lot of problems with Legion.
I really hope the worldwide release doesn't affect our ability to actually get in and play tomorrow.

Man, my server in Wrath was DOA at launch. Had taken day off. Did the midnight release pickup. Dude and his gf in front of me smelled like the worst BO. I was 15 back in line. By the time I got home with my collector’s edition, I was pissed. Then my server was taking a minute to loot a corpse. Then died. Was down an hour or two. Gave up and slept some. Cata was smooth. WoD sucked. Legion was smooth as butter for me.
Is this where I pull out my "I played on Mal'Ganis at Vanilla launch" dick and slap it on the table? Characters were being outright lost by the system after zoning into instances and were just 'poof' gone.

The only technical problem I had with legion was when I glitched the quest to obtain my balance artifact by blinking through an obstruction that required doing something else, so I did the quest out of order and got stuck for three days until a GM could reset the quest.
Oh, right, and server capacity issues that they didn't bother with fixing because they knew folks would transfer or just wait, but Stormrage server was straight fucked for two-three weeks with 2-3000 queues.

I agree, WoD was one of the worst launches I can remember for anything. Legion was pretty stable from what I recall.
