World of Warcraft: Current Year

Yeah I don't see why not. I don't know if you need any of the spec specific leggos to do it for bdk. I was going to try with just the multi talent ring and boots, so I can have blood tap + faster movement. I have 0 specific blood leggos other than the shared ones for all the specs.

i did bdk at like 925 with absolutely no issue. i had lego trinket and cloak, i think it took me 7-8 attempts since i wasn't paying attention and kept getting knocked off by infernals. use the speed food and you'll be fine, i downloaded a load buzzer WA that would make a noise whenever any infernals were casting.

Yea, your 950 BDK should be able to walk through it since you already know mechanics from doing it on monk. Even if you are rusty and get knocked off, I doubt it would take more then a couple goes, everything should just fall over before it has a chance to do much. I used an interrupt focus macro (/cast [@focus,harm,nodead]) since you need switch targets a lot, putting blood plague on eyes, rounding up shades, ect.
Talents: 3 1 1 2 2 3 1

I did BDK one at around 960 or so in a few tries. You'll get like 2 eyeballs before Vizier dies, no need to dot them, just face them so they can't knockback. I went into last phase without any giant Infernals up - then it's just a matter of saving Consumption for the casting adds and interrupting that cast from the main boss. EZPZ

My prot pally just scored the legendary legs so I’ll probably be trying that one soon with a bit more gear. Wish my damn main had this lego luck when I still raided instead of taking over a year to get the damn oranges I needed.

Click to expand...

The legs honestly made that fight a joke. I came from getting like 4-5 infernals to getting 2-3 just from the dps boost, it made it significantly easier.

I mean.. it's still hard as fuck but I did it at 910 I'm sure by now it's out-gearable

Are Legendary items going to still be a thing in Battle for Azeroth or will it just be Azurite powered regular armor?

They've said one off legendaries maybe, whatever that means, probably like MoP cloak or wod ring things.

Been playing on alpha and it's real disappointing so far. The GCD changes make a lot of classes feel really slow, and since they didn't change most classes, the removal of legendaries & tier, along with some classes just having the artifact ability removed entirely (boomkin??) make you feel super weak.

I get that you are supposed to basically be starting from scratch at the beginning of an expansion, so feeling weak should be expected, but it's a really big change in the feel and pace of the game. So far it has not been fun at all. And right now azerite gear is only giving passive shit, so I'm not all that optimistic that it will get a lot better.

Will have to see what they add, but I feel like there is a lot more than 4 months worth of work to be done for BFA to be ready (in a half decent state at least). I guess we'll find out.

I am starting to level up a DH just-in-case the GCD gameplay for Frost DK/Warrior is garbage. I feel looking at Alpha Fury seems to be boring as fuck and the ramp up with all the GCDs looks clunky, but Arms is looking really good as they baked in some of the artifact stuff into talents/azerite passives right now.

Then Frost DK seems to have not much changes at all, just a more slowed down spec.

I don't know how they're going to balance Survival Hunter other than giving them dogshit DPS. Best of both worlds melee+ranged, immunities, good self-heal/leech, CC, good raid utility, and high mobility is kind of a bullshit combo when compared to a lot of the other classes.

Well they were shit this whole expansion so they'll probably be OP as fuck for most/all of BfA so they can say "See! It can work!"

I really do not trust them at this point to balance classes after the sweeping changes involving the Artifact Weapons, the loss of Tier Sets, and the new Netherlight+ (Heart of Azeroth) system. Guessing this is going to be a shit-show, but I am in for a pound.

The azerite gear right now might just be the leveling versions and outdoor questing set that you'd wear during leveling or whatever.

But I think you're right that the M+/Raid gear will have the better traits more akin to legendaries or golden traits we have now. I kind of wish they kept the artifcate weapons as I like the idea in MMOs like EQ, FF11, etc you have an epic quest for your weapon that you could upgrade through the xpac.

Thrall got sad, here's a doomhammer. Also you're instantly better at using it because reasons

That's the problem, they can't balance the stuff we are losing, i mean this is a bit on the extreme side but as a BrM i am losing

-70% chance at doing 200% extra damage with a core ability
-stacking movement speed buff attached to my Active mitigation
-extra crit when i heal
-20% decreased crit chance on one ability
-30% damage increase on another ability (not fixed by bfa "scaling")
-an ability i more or less used on CD that provided me 99% melee damage reduction for 3 seconds
-big quality of life ability that makes the spec rotation flow appropriately

Other classes are losing a lot more "core" abilities that make the class function. I know azerite is supposed to patch these holes, but if thats what blizz intended i need them to preview some of the higher end Azerites, like "this is what is going to drop in the first raid" and make it golden trait good instead of just "gain more vers if you hit this button".

We have about 3-4 guildies that are in the bfa alpha and all us are feeling its just "not fun" i know that is subjective but we all play at a decently high level and are feeling the same way. the environments in bfa are awesome looking, the dungeons seem well designed (but with more trash than seems necessary). the classes just all seem homogenized. this could very well be what blizzard is intending but currently im not enjoying it.
