The Legendary rings were datamined at ilevel 730. I can only assume that's a placeholder number as 730 should be roughly heroic ilevel for Hellfire Citadel.

Edit: Looks like they're datamining Timewalker strings too. For example:

New difficulty - Timewalking
New gear type - Timewalker / Pickpocketing / Time Twisted
Random Timewalker Dungeon (Wrath of the Lich King)

I would assume they'll be keeping the trend of a 15 Ilvl upgrade meaning LFR would be 670 N 685 H 700 and M 715. The timeless type zone would probably be somewhere between 640 and 655. It is a new tier though so they may bump it higher though it really doesn't seem worthwhile to do so.

Assuming they're sticking with the MoP ilevel model, LFR isalmostas good as the previous tier's Normal (now Heroic) ilevel. If that's true then we're looking at:

BRF
LFR 655
N 670
H 685
M 700

HFC
LFR 685
N 700
H 715
M 730

Well look at that, I guess 730 legendary ring makes sense. Whoops.

For MoP reference:

An interesting... form of speech in the PTR:

That hints at 6.2 being the last real content patch.

We've got all but Gul'dan accounted for in this tier (props to MMO Champ noticing a raid wing named after Grommash, so we probably kill his torturer, and have him promptly die on us, asking us to kill Killrog for his betrayal). Gul'dan probably escapes to the next expansion. Where he is promoted to new Lich King alternate.

And wtf are they doing with brewmasters? No more shuffle? Seems like they're going to have the most boring rotation ever now.

Am I reading that correctly or are they not only removing 10% stagger in the form of shuffle, but also reducing base stagger from 30% to 10% ? That is a mind blowingly huge nerf if that's the case.

The 30% reduction to tiger palm and blackout kick are just icing on the 'fuck-you' cake I think ;p

I hope they do a bit more for assassination - 20% inc on backstab for sub but only 10% on mutilate. Evisc was already greater than envenom and they are continuing this tradition of not knowing how to tweak things at any rate its still early so hopefully by its release in 2016 they will have fixed things!

Wow demo warlocks are getting taken to the woodshed. Maybe its just me but I have not seen their numbers being crazy enough to warrant that kind of smack down.

I am extremely amused by the 80% damage cap for Obliterate in PVP.

If they wanted slow, heavy hitting melee specs, they should have gone about it like that in the Mastery. +% Obliterate/Mortal Strike Damage... against 1m+ Max Health Targets.

I totally get that BrM needed to be brought back in line, but going from 50+% stagger to somewhere in the teens/low 20s seems brutal. I loved that BrM was one of those specs that rewarded skilled players and was somewhat unique among the tanks. Now I just don't know.

I hate too how these changes totally fuck with stat weights.

I'm intrigued by the ring procs though. Gonna have to add a weak aura for the buff for some beast mode burst. Gonna laugh my ass off though if/when an offtank gets taken out by the damage sharing.

Did they make legendary tring account bound? If I'll ever come back, I won't be doing that shit grind again for sure.

BrM can still Guard for a million and they still have the lowest DTPS of all tanks, they're fine. The real problem is the changes made bears overpowered, not that Monks are weak now. If you're taunt swapping the boss every 30 seconds then their massively buffed Savage Defense has 60% uptime, which is nuts.

2 Warlocks in my raid group are hitting 70-80k+ dps on a bunch of fights. It is pretty stupid.

I'm guessing this is where Grommash becomes part of the Burning Legion (at the end of this raid), and we defeat him in the next raid. And when we go back to Azeroth, the burning legion is attacking for the next expansion

730 ring wouldn't make sense in that context. Ring is currently 15 ilvl higher than standard mythic gear. It would however make sense in a +15 across the board scenario.
