Question for the brewmasters. What level of stagger do you generally purify? In normals I don't take much damage so highest I've been is like 50% stagger

Quit the game today, felt good. Nighthold has nothing of interest, maybe 7.2 will bring me back but I doubt it.

NH is one of the best raid zones in a long time IMO. That said the gap in non raid content here was kind of bleh, was filled with AP and lego grinding. If you have that all now, it's kinda boring. I have BIS in every slot already so now it's all creeping ilvl upgrades. While I appreciate Suramar and the quests for what they are, it wasn't enough and was padded with too much RNG between legos and TF and M+ keystones etc etc.

Put SET worldPreloadNonCritical "0" to your Config file in the WTF folder and load times go down a ton. Dalaran now loads for me in like 5 seconds max.

Surprisingly, 7.2 is already on PTR so the wait on raid might actually be kinda short for once.

Absolutely agree with this. NH is a lot of fun so far. I actually don't mind banging my head off encounters in here. They seem well designed, even if I'm hating the fact that Krosus is hard on warriors. Can't even imagine Augur with a warrior in Heroic. All that magic damage.

They've already said that the Tomb will not unlock along with 7.2. They're including it and doing basic testing because it's probably before 7.2.5, but they're going to tweak the numbers on PTR during early 7.2...

I mean that's what they did with nighthold but I guess the point still sort of stands, there's some content with 7.2 and then there's the raid a few weeks later.

siege of orgrimmar and WoD set the bar pretty high for content lulls
True. As much as I hate that legion is extra grindy in many aspects at least there is stuff to constantly do. In WOD I basically never left my garrison except to raid. They did a lot to turn that around.

Add to that, nighthold is a very well tuned and interesting raid and I'm enjoying it.

The new AP grinding isn't going to be good for a player like me though

i am by no means a BrM expert and currently i am experimenting on when to ironskin/purify. i barely ever purify unless there is an ability that hits for a ton (darkslash on Ymiron etc) with the 2pc set and the bottom row talent you can rock 95% stagger and with BoB you can maintain it for 2 minutes+ (with reasonable haste) so unless your stagger is "in the red" or youre in danger if you take some of the large ticks its worth it to just ironskin vice purify.

I could be playing this completely wrong but it seems like this is the best strategy i've been able to come up with so far. On Normal Gul'dan i generally purified after i solo broke the bonds but just used ironskin the rest of the fight except for when a large felscythe was incoming (solo tanked so i took a bit more damage than i wanted).

Finished up my daily rewards and got my 3rd legendary, which is good but sucks because I hadn't been saving items for the other slots.

I am really loving the Frost DK. Breath of Sindragosa is really satisfying to use and when played properly does a ridiculous amount of damage. I feel like this is the way Surrender should have worked for Shadow Priests from the beginning.

Running M+ is also about 100x more fun as DPS compared to tanking.
