One of the points of the whole ilevel squish is they aren't repeating the mistake of having the first zone drop quest items on par with the prior expansions final raid. So geared chars will be beastmode all the way into WOD heroics.

That said, it's just something to do. Only part that sucks is doing ToT LFR well past the point where there's any benefit from it other than quest drops.

Something I figured out a while ago: If you have capped valor and have the buff, you can camp out in Timeless on Monday night and still have it all day Tuesday. It doesn't seem to go away for death, but I have had it disappear for using the trinket as a shortcut back to the quest givers and it definitely goes away if you queue into an instance of any sort. I have had it persist on flights to other areas of Pandaria though it will disappear if you go to other continents.

Anyway, I do this every Tuesday now and will usually have 825-975 valor by the time I'm done with the three quests and spending all my coins on valor tokens.

So... I already got my cape like 8 months ago, but I'm wondering now, who the fuck cares about getting a 600 level cape when WoD will probably have some 600+ by level 92 or something

What's the whole point?

The new title for completing the Legendary quest is probably the only reason to keep doing the quest still as the cloak will be replaced by even casual players over the first weekend of play.

Indeed. Every single person will get a raid level cloak on the first weekend of the expansion.

Because that's nowhere near the case. First zone quest rewards are around 512. The final quest zone offers rewards that are 580 base level.
Level 100 normal 5mans drop 615ilvl items iirc. So yeah...the cloak will last awhile relative to prior expansions.

http://wod.wowhead.com/zone=6874#drops:mode=heroic

WoD Heroic instances drop blue iLevel 630 equipment and my fully upgraded 4/4 Legendary cloak is only iLevel 616.

Legendary Cloak after it's stats squished:http://wod.wowhead.com/item=102246
Heroic Cloak:http://wod.wowhead.com/item=109907&bonus=524

Sure the cloak will last up until around Heroic dungeons but it's for the most part going to be replaced before raiding. If you don't think that people will be running heroics the first weekend and getting this equipment you are sorely mistaken.

Have they added gems yet? I don't see them on wowhead.

The 616 ilevel legendary cloak has 6 more secondary stats than the 630 you linked (126 total vs 120 total), but it's still short 15 main stat. If a red gem provides 11 or more main stat then you're only losing a little stamina (since the socket bonus is +4 main stat).

Edit: And of course, the proc will be at least a little boost in DPS, though wowhead says "1 damage," I suspect it will be a tad higher >.>

Back from a long break and leveling an arms warrior in heirlooms.

Any advice on addons, damage rotations, etc?

well since you're leveling with herlooms you could probably autoattack your way to 60 and then if you haven't gotten it figured out by then what to do, I don't even know what to tell ya.

Aside from basic addons like deadly boss mods, which you don't really need for a long time, I really liked running withNPC Scannergoing cause it finds rares for you and then marks them. Also you can click on your minimap and enable "Show Target" so you can see exactly where it is. Free blues and a nice lil chunk of XP for every rare you kill pretty much.

Also this has notihng to do with that, but I'm playing on an RP server now as horde cause that's where my friend plays and it doesn't really matter what server you choose anymore... but oh man. I just walked by a tauren /crying over a female goblin because apparently she won't accept his love because their races are far too different.

RP servers are fuckin' wild

It will last past heroics as well. Heroic gear is 625 and the cloak is 616, but the cloak has three secondary stats while other cloaks have only two. Unless 6.0 removes a stat from it with all the secondary changes, you'll be wearing it until you start raiding.

Leatherworking/Tailoring are making cloaks that upgrade to 655 still, right?

Crafted gear also has a "three or less" item limit, so if you've got the MoP cloak you might not want to use one of those three on them.

Also even diminished by the extra levels the proc has a non zero value to it as well.

I'd like to ask Blizzard to implement a "transfer all characters" for like ?50 and not ?275. Maybe make it so all character must be on the same account and let me move my whole army for a single price. I'm not leaving any of them behind and I'm not moving one or two only, so in this case from their point of view ?50 is better than ?0 and a dead server deserves only to die once and for all.
If any of you has a batphone, please forward this brilliant idea. Thank you. I want to leave the shithole server I'm grounded to, but there is no way in hell I'd pay ?225 on top of the monthly fee and the box prices. ?25 per character is extremely fucking retarded. ?5 per character and I'd be all over it.

This queues in my wishlist right together with "let horde and alliance play together (for fuck's sake)".

The cloak actually doesn't count toward the limit, but with it taking 40 days of cooldowns to make one 665 epic, you still won't have them for awhile.

Couldnt agree more its so fast to level with heirlooms, just do every instance once as a tank and you will be 85 in no time, then its just a matter of what spec you truly want to play to get you to 90.
