I think the unintentional thing here is the unlocking of the skins for weapons for which you don't have the primary hidden appearance. I doubt that they meant for everyone to do x WQs/y dungeons/z pvp kills for each separate hidden skin.
I'm positive it's this. Because the Naga version says the same thing for the color scheme: "Complete 100 World Quests with a hidden artifact appearance".

Yeah, I'm thinking we'll probably down Gul'dan this week with the nerfs. Why couldn't the mythic mount be green and the heroic one be red :(

Fast Time Zones now last 35 seconds on all difficulties (was 30 seconds).

I love this change actually, now there's no reason for people to not have the haste buff twice (assuming they're still in range)

Slow Time Zones now last 70 seconds on all difficulties (was 60 seconds).

I think slow bubbles will last for 4 rings now? we usually try to push her on mythic before the 4th ring since it means you have to kill a 2nd blue add but with the reduction in health + more red buffs (you should be able to get 3 if you run in blue and then back to red at the end) you can pretty much just cheese phase 1 super hard.

So I solo tank Skorp, Chronomatic, Trilliax (for luls), Star Augur, Tichondrius, and Guldan now on heroic

I think blizzard is just bad at making proper tank swap mechanics

We should try solo Aluriel this week. I can still taunt for the stack and I have nearly 5mil hp in fury anyway.

those mechanics actually hurt when people weren't geared for it. We are at the point in the raid tiers release where people have a few pieces of titanforge / 905 pvp gear / getting some of the better legendary's so people are starting to outgear the heroic content, not to mention the giant dps and some survivability upgrades everyone got with the new talents, you can ignore quite a bit of heroic mechanics at this point if you're geared and can push bosses phases.

you an solo Aluriel as well, with the Monk legendary hat and using stagger pause and purifies effectively.

Yeah I've got the hat, belt, trinket, prydaz. Really hoping my neck piece is chest piece.

Yea that's a bug they never patched out for the hidden skins


It is a bug and tied to the fact they did not want to have to have you redo the 30 dungeons/pvp kills/world quest stuff for each hidden skin so at this point I think it is not likely to get fixed/changed.

Mailed it in again with a 'do 12 WQs on broken shore!' for the weekly. I am guessing next week is the 'don't neglect your order, <insert class title here>! Complete 6 order hall missions' one.

The general forums have a few claims of data mined quests further out. Mostly shit like "kill X demons," "kill X elites on BS," and something involving the wyrmtongue chests. They don't sound too unlikely from what we've seen, TBH...

Wow! Much excitement!

You'd think the demons would have their shit together at this point. I expected the broken shore to change

Apparently the initial plan was to spread out the unlocking more artifact stuff/opening of the dungeon/order hall talent things but in PTR decided to front load most of that stuff. So what we are seeing is pretty much the filler that would have gone with the actual interesting stuff that we already have. Downside of trying to make specific content for 12 different classes is most of that stuff is content the majority will not see more than a couple of so its a lot of work and just not paying off at the moment.

Yeah, I believe they said they said that's the reason they're not doing any class specific things in 7.3.

I think in WOD it may have been fine but in legion there is a LOT more incentive to stay on your main primarily and not bounce around between alts so it sort of passively discourages you from doing the others quests. I mostly am doing my druid and my warlock and I have to say so far the warlocks orderhall specific stuff was a lot more interesting for the 7.2 stuff.

The class specific content was well intentioned but tragically implemented. I agree that it would've been much more positively received in WoD.

Finally got a good tank trinket from the Broken Shores casino. It is that shard trinket from the Nethalion Lair dungeon that gives you the damage absorb shield, but it proc'd an upgrade and ended up as 890 with a gem slot ;p
