Weapon procs like its 1999!

But man, it sounds like they are heading to a system that will make Mythic raiding more annoying than ever. Fully invested in a spec that is nerfed/no good on fight x? Fuck You, better have the other two legendaries ready to go along with a bag full of items with the right bonus effects.

But WOD pretty much murdered mythic tier anyway with its insane burnout rate.
Burn out is right. My guild is working on Archimonde now, but I had some rl shit happen when we were on tyrant that made me say fuck raiding until 2016 when peak is over at UPS.

Legion alpha invite is triggering the itch something fierce, though.

What was strange about the level of burnout is we were successful. We weren't at some brick wall of horseshit. And so were many of the other guilds that were collapsing.

I suck and am terrible and I'm basically coming in as a true noob (weird but whatevs). I'm good with that but any tips on upgrades? Should I just drag a random group or two down in dungeon finder so I can get a basic set of decent gear for low levels?

Edit: guess I can consult a guide. There might be one or two out there.

Go to Tanaan Jungle, rares throughout the jungle will drop 650-675+ ilvl items, and then if you do the dailies/grind a tiny bit, you can spend apexis crystals from a vendor in your Tanaan quest hub to upgrade those items to 695. I'd start off upgrading a weapon first. Other than that, you can hop in LFR and be a complete mouthbreather and get drops without any real challenge. Mythic dungeons are quite difficult if you're a tank/healer with low ilvl but anything around 685 or so it should be completely doable, mythic dungeons drop pretty good loot but you just have to find a group. Shouldn't be hard with the LFG>Dungeons tool.

Don't worry about bringing a group down in heroic dungeons if that's what you want to run at first, most people are overgeared and the run will be a cakewalk anyways. That's a really good place to start, but tanaan is more effective.

Use that link for all rares and treasures and what comes from each in Tanaan. You will be low ilevel when you enter so go pick up treasures to fill as many gear slots as possible, it will make it easier on you. Until you get a decent set of gear, depending on your class, most rares, but not all, will be difficult to solo. Also, use the LFG tool to join groups for the Tanaan quests/objectives, it will make it faster and easier.

Got my 5th character to 100 the only ones I don't have at 90 are shaman and monk so will preorder Legion and boost one of those. Will finish 90-100 on DK/War/Priest/Mage this month.

Recommend a level 3 stables if you have access to it or flight if you have that. Both allow you to just derp around full mounted speed in near total safety while picking up treasures. This speeds up your initial gear up by a huge margin. I did this with my warlock who had like 594 ilevel going into tannan. And its probably even easier now with the bigger chance for tokens to sprout higher ilevel gear.

Yeah it does, and some of the new animations are fucking baller. Like the new Judgement you raise your weapon to the sky and call down a fucking hammer on someones head, goddamn YES

I'm still going to main holy and probably prot with the new content. I haven't played ret in quite a while but I was never a fan of the RNG when I did play. But with the changes mixed with the fact that you can have the ashbringer.. mmm delicious.

Not only are the new animations sexy. It seems/feels like some of the old ones are smoothed out a LOT. At least with my minimal dicking around on alpha so far.

Really? That's fucking great. Someone on reddit posted the new Whirlwind animation for warriors and I got a bit of a chub.
I wish I were in alpha but oh well
