Calling it now : Ve'Nari will be the big-bad for the next expansion pack. No way that bitch aint playing us all for fools.
Seen people theorizing that the Runecarver is someone even worse than the Jailer, and that we're fucking things up by releasing him.

Unless we go to another layer of the afterlife and kill everyone again, they need to develop some new antagonists.

All we got is some vague void/shadow enemy, can't wait until Alleria goes mad and we kill her after all that effort freeing her from trolls in the first mission of Warcraft 2...

The Void Lords attacked the Shadowlands in the past and were repelled, so I'm sure something will happen during this that will lead to another attack. Hopefully they aren't going for the low hanging repeated fruit of The Jailer being corrupted by them.

Most common theory I hear about the Runecarver is that he is just the Primus from Maldraxxus.

180 for torghast? I've run three different classes through most of the level 3s with storyline/wq gear (0 dungeons). It's about anima powers and using all your abilities. I'm sure higher layers will eventually require higher gear level, but for now it's pretty soloable.

Watch the void stuff they have been building just be a patch instead of a full expansion like Argus/Nazjatar/Nyalotha.

So what's the deal with getting shit ton of anima in ardenwald? Are they random WQ with big rewards or am I missing something?

Been playing casually and finished up layer 3 on two of the Torghast wings as a blood DK. Went necrolord and at item level 150 nothing is overly dangerous so far. If you get the anima power that makes the necrolord fleshcraft shield explode for 200% of the shield with a bunch of +life powers you pretty much can one shot rares and trivialize the bosses. Game became a lot more enjoyable when I made the engineer warp item. Every 15 minutes can warp to any SL zone which makes the flight whistle loss a bit less painful. Funnest thing so far was a warmode on Blanchy camp group of about 20. Lagged like crazy but was that fun chaos that has been missing for awhile. Some of the big WTF decisions I don't get have been no mounts in the maw but druid travel form/shaman wolf form are allowed, the flight whistle, BFA mobs continuing to scale and taking longer to kill than SL mobs, and if you get a rare spawn mount drop while leveling you couldn't learn it until 60.

I am playing Night Fae, although they're not even the most OP with healers...frankly they whole "heals adjacent unit" part of their troops/companions is terrible, b/c they really don't mean all adjacent units, just the one their system prioritizes. Venthyr I think have the most OP group heals?

Almost all the healers are insignificant in the long run, damage per attack just massively outscales their healing, the most you can hope for is that it gives you enough health to survive one extra round for a killing blow. The notable exception is Plaguey, who is overwhelmingly powerfully broken, and is probably going to be nerfed before anyone reaches renown 32 to unlock him ;p Kaletar, the venthyr one you are probably thinking of, does a group heal for 20 points at level 30, where most level 30 creatures will be hitting for 200+, and the tank is going to be taking multiple hits per round.

Night Fae heals (from troop and our 2nd soulbind, Dreamweaver or whoever) can be enough to keep back row people up who are just taking damage from cone abilities enemies have. Again also useful for healing up without burning anima to do so by sending them on the normal xp bonus missions or whatever as filler.

As has been pointed out this entire expansion is Planes of Power from EQ, and that culminated in us freeing Zebuxoruk who was a haggard prisoner in chains who needed to be there as his knowledge led to the end of the world or some sort of similar thing.

Clearly there is more plotline in the campaigns that remains unlocked (I did see there were cinematics that people have mined but I've avoided them) but I get a recurring theme that Sylvanas might be doing the right thing but the bitch is one big mystery box and so, just as in Destiny, doesn't bother to explain herself.

It can be SystemCraft all it wants as long as 99% of that shit stays optional.
