I went through simcraft, and it's telling me haste is my most important secondary... literally: Agi (8.13) > Haste (6.71) > Vers (5.53) > Mastery (5.49) > Crit (4.80)
This just does not seem right...

I know on my boomkin switching to stacking haste even at expense of up to 20 ilevels has proven to be very strong DPS gain and really noticeable even just using dps meter. Some of the secondary stats are stupidly strong for specific specs to the point of being worth even some fairly serious ilevel downgrades.

I have never been more tempted to forsake my Alliance blood, boost something to 100 horde side and try to get in with you guys. Sounds like it is good times but I know in my heart I suck too badly to run with the big dogs.

Curious too how they lore away the artifact weapons for the next expansion. My guess right now - on the big assumption that the next xpac is some kind of assault on Argus to finish Sarg/Legion once and for all - is that to get there, your fancy weapon will either get consumed in the creation of a portal, or won't be able to travel through whatever portal you need (a la old school Pools of Darkness if any of you remember that from back in the day). I thought I read somewhere that artifact weapons weren't continuing past this expansion so they are going to need some serious reason as to why the most powerful weapons in Azeroth are getting left behind for whatever the next adventure is.

Can confirm. I'm a bad. Come do mythics 2s with me and die repeatedly to simple mechanics.

For the Druid and Hunter ones they are kind of "borrowed". Not sure on other classes but the Druid story could be like Ursoc saying "lololol thanks for clearing up the Nightmare for me, give me the claws back now"

For heals or moonkin? Either way druids are still good.

Mainly hurting for ranged dps for the Corgi Minivan Friday and Monday raid extravaganza. Not sure what the S Crew needs.

Message me later tonight and I'll go over it with you, step by step, using your character. Ill be done with tonight's raid by 9:15, likely. So anytime around then. I'm online now, but only at the computer every 10-20.
Thanks man, I'll be on about the time raid finishes (9:15 EST, right), so I think I have it but it just seems off.


Ok I'm 100% going to start leveling the horde druid this weekend. Druid still an ok call?
You mean OG Hero Class? They're always the right call.

Seriously, druid gets 4 fucking specs with different roles, DK gets 3 specs for two roles, and DH gets two specs for two roles. Outlaw should have turned into a ranged DPS spec for Rogues...

Noodleface Noodleface Im hoping the "S-Crew" isn't a reference back to those assholes that were in the guild during Highmaul in WOD. They were fucking jerks and weren't even that good. A few of the guys sat there and went back and forth with a member last night over an hour trying to help him with his rotation and stop him from blaming his gear for example. Those guys in WOD would just say they suck and boot them from everything! Haha

You seriously can't go wrong with a Druid on anything right now. Boomkins do good dps, as well as Feral. Guardian is simply the best tank available right now. Resto is one of the top healing specs. If having the same look for years and years didn't bother me so much, I would play one.

Relating back to content - both groups have or are about to beat Heroic. Mythic is the next step for the next three weeks at minimum. Patch drops on the 25th for Kara and then the mini raid, Trials of Valor, drops 2 weeks after that.

Heroic EN will probably take Tuesday nights normal difficulty raid spot. Then after that, heroic TOValor. Wednesday being mainly dominated by whatever Mythic boss between the two raids we think we will have a relatively easy time mastering. Thanks to Cupcake, it looks like he decided our second raid day for us. So it's Tues/Wed at 8:15 eastern.

But then you're stuck in furform for the rest of your career.

I think they should take a clue from DH development and simplify classes into more distinct roles. No more 3 ranged dps specs for mages. No more 2 melee dps specs for DKs or warriors. Fewer roles means better delineation of flavor.

Daidraco Daidraco yes it is but it is just a joke

A few of the s crew guys always helped me out and it was great, then some of them were cock suckers. So far everyone from the wed group has been really awesome about helping out. I meant no offense, I always thought s crew was the stupidest name.

Edit: hoping minivan takes down all of heroic this week but not sure. We didn't kill the eye until your 700k dps and soothing voice showed up

Don't say things like that! Shadow priest nerfs in the pipe line on PTR. Instead of nerfing S2M again, they're keeping that the same and nerfing other abilities! (Horree sheet! My phone hates any form of "nerf")

I can't change specs on my mage? Not sure what's up. It's acting like I'm in combat, but I'm not as the normal indicators are there, and I can drink. Tried relogging. Guess the game doesn't want me to switch to Frost? Game knows best?

I'm level 106 on my Mage, and I've done all the artifacts. I go to my Specialization page, and it won't let me click Frost or Arcane. Not sure why.

Anyone ran into this?
