I tried line of sight pulling last night so we could get one group at a time during some timewalker dungeons. Nobody else in the group understood the concept. Just started shooting shit without ducking behind a corner and stood there eating shit.
If they waited for you to shoot first you are doing better than I have lately. I have had as many as three people in my group running rooms ahead tagging shit in pugs.

For a guy that hasn't played since blackrock foundry, what's the best way for me to come back in and start making money? Naval yard stuff?

I only have the one character. I might level a 2nd or 3rd but that's probably it. I just want to make enough to not have to pay for the game.
As talked about a page or two ago, Garrison missions will reward you with the best gold/effort, especially if you have multiple 100's.

The xp potions, garrison resources item, rep medallion, pvp currency item, oil item, and follower 50 Ilvl upgrade all sell pretty well on the AH. The pvp currency item is the best of these.

Water Strider nerf has been revoked entirely:

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/to...2574064?page=6

Watcher_sl said:
After further discussion, we will be reverting these changes entirely, and Water Striders? water-walking will not be restricted by location.

As noted in my earlier post in the thread, the genesis of this change was an observation that the Water Strider was being used disproportionately frequently, which led to a genuine concern on our part that the mechanical advantage of water-walking was stomping on the cosmetic choice of a player?s favorite mount. This is different from other utility mounts like the Traveler?s Mammoth or Expedition Yak, which are rarely used for any prolonged period of time or as a default mount; those are summoned specifically for the use of their vendors and then dismissed.

We don?t have any concern with water-walking as a concept, and the various player abilities and consumables that provide it are a great source of convenience. We?re not trying to make travel less convenient, or restrict player freedom. We observed what seemed like a potential problem, explored some solutions, and clearly the cure has proven worse than the disease. Thank you for your feedback.

I can see their thought process but if somebody spent the time needed in pandaria or draenor to max their fishing rep stuff which is a non trivial amount of work they are going to be pretty pissed if their weird bug can't still walk on water.

Man I thought I was on to something fun with these timewalking dungeons. Dusted off my druid, specced tank, go into a timewalking dungeon at level 85 for some sweet dungeon exp + 50 extra tokens since tanks are a needed class.

NOPE! You get TBC exp. I got 8k exp from a full slave pens run plus the bonus exp whereas I get like 150k exp + quest and bonus exp in MoP dungeons. Lame. Especially since guardian druids are the most boring spec ever invented.

Get that shipyard to level 3 with an oilrig. Shipyards print gold these days.
This takes FOREVER.

WoW is a great game while leveling and a shit sandwich at cap. Dailies are honestly the worst thing ever to happen to video games. Thanks Blizzard. You can get 3% of your goal every day! Congratulations on your birthday by the way. It's next month right?

Yea, honestly I prefer to play something for a lot for a short time rather than play a worthless amount of time every day. If I were to play something every day it would be because I'm doing it for long hours every day. Ithinkmost people are wired like that for hobbies? Dailies are the worst possible solution because they basically mean not only does your content run out quickly, you have to do it every day.

I didn't mind dailies with turnins/quest that was repeatable so you could choose to just do the once a day dailies or grind the fuck out of things like Timbermaw or old Wintersaber.

Daily supplements instead of daily cockblocks.

Timbermaw was never daily though. It was just a blue icon you could repeatedly turn in the furbolg necklaces or whatever to. Blue used to mean repeatable, not daily.

Is LFR worth doing for these extra abrogator stones and chance at loot? I like raiding but only if it isn't a shitshow mess of constant wipes and banging my head against a wall just for some weekly quest.

You won't wipe in lfr. The entire raid could randomly beat their heads against their keyboards and the bosses would still die.

As Slaythe mentioned, Tues/Weds for LFR. The highmaul and BRF LFRs are annoyingly easy and tedious. Hellfire citadel still has bosses that you will probably wipe on if you don't have competent people in key positions.

I did get into an LFR last week for Imperator Mar'gok in Highmaul and the fight took so long that bloodlust came off cooldown. Highest dps was like 19k and that was a tank. Literally nobody said a single word when I tried to talk to them in raid chat, I feel like I was just running with a bunch of bots.

End game was horrifically boring. By the time HFC came out, even playing with friends, I couldn't do it anymore. I didn't love Timeless Isle, but for some reason that shit was dramatically more entertaining.

By the way, what happens in a month?
