Kilrog's Heart Seeker now only hits person, regardless of whether or not someone stands in front of it, and his adds/blood globules have less health
Wailing Horror on Council does 30% less damage.
Gorefiend no longer uses Shared Fate, and the Gorebound Constructs will only damage their target (rather than an AoE)
Tyrant's first two auras (damage on movement and reduced max health) now stack more slowly
Xhul's add no longer spawn fire when they hit people (both the imps and the teleporting dudes)
Archimonde doesn't cast Wrought Chaos, and the portals don't spawn Living Shadows any more.
Reroll ? I think I'll probably fire up an Alliance side Warrior. And start a Demon Hunter, of course.
Honestly, ever since monks were added, I haven't really wanted to play anything else in any kind of dedicated manner. I leveled a hunter, rogue, paladin, mage, priest, and DK, and none of them clicked like the monk did. The "slow down" in WoD was short lived, and the class still felt really good the last time I was on. When I get back into the game, I doubt I'll be doing anything differently unless DH is something crazier than the monk in terms of playstyle.

Check out my GTAV-PC custom race tracks inspired by real life racing circuits!
I just really, really enjoy Mistweaver. The neat way the abilities interact is great. I hope for Legion that they make the current 4pc in a new mastery, because GotS is awful.
I don't understand this. Demons and Illidan and ... ?
What else makes it like BC?

Failed the roll for Chest, for 4p, on Mannoroth
Never had a better place (outside of the Mad Max thread) to use that Lovely Day reaction.
Some of these seem geared towards ensuring you can run Normal at any size raid or any DPS composition, which is a goal I approve of. (Specifically the Gorefiend, second Kilrogg, Xhul, and Archimonde nerfs.) Save "sorry we've got too many melee already" for Heroic. I wonder if this is heralding the total removal of LFR in Legion?
I'd say most of the nerfs seem in regards to positional requirements that, if not followed, can hurt the entire raid. A poorly placed/ignored wrought chaos/heart seeker/shared fate can wipe the raid, as can people in melee range who don't pay attention to adds. Because it is definitely frustrating to be wiped during a pug by one person not paying attention, or even disconnecting.
I am still very curious what the class hall looks like for warlocks
It's actually great for Unholy DK! It actually makes the spec viable in HFC. It's godawful for DW Frost, though it's good for 2h frost, but you wouldn't be caught dead with a 2h in frost. I've heard its a big "meh" for Blood DK.
They'd be stupid as hell to remove LFR now.
It fills a niche that Normal doesn't, regardless of how hard some people try to claim otherwise. Unless they make it where you can queue for Normal basically. I personally suspect them to go back to how things were in MoP, where LFR was a little more than braindead but still easy. And it actually gave you the same stuff, just with worse stats. This whole "Oh you don't get to have the neat tier armor, or these super OP trinkets. Why? Cause fuck you, that's why." Thing was kind of a low blow, especially when the difference between a class with or without their tier bonuses or Archi trinket is night and day.
Same with the Council nerf. You're given so much warning for the Horror that repositioning is nearly an afterthought.
The nerfs will make knocking down Normal Manny and Archi easier for your crew though.
All of these mechanics are very obvious and easy to avoid. But...
^ This is truth.
If both parties had a good idea of how the mechanic works, then yeah you're not going to lose much efficiency out of it. But if one person ignores it, they can make life hell for people who aren't even being targetted
I don't know how may of you guys go on Blizz's offical forums, but that place is dominated by people for whom TBC was "the best, the greatest, the epicest, the only expansion ever worth playing in the history of forever!"
(Vanilla has some worshippers who are like this there too).
I really worry that Blizz listened to these people too much, and that's why we got WOD.
? Talking about the artifacts? The previews for Legion showed ~5 variations on Ashbringer, and I'd imagine that's largely standard (although they probably got more creative with Ashbringer than some of the others).
The DPS and Stat increasing cores we're going to socket into them to serve as actual weapon upgrades may also come with their own look depending on where they come from.
It is not uncommon for the raid group to split like Moses parting the Red Sea milliseconds before the giant fuck-off laser blasts through it.
But it's not retroactive. My mage started his shipyard last week and has access to the equipment my main has unlocked, but my paladin, who unlocked her shipyard before they made the change, has access to nothing.
If this is the case I wish Blizz would come forth and admit it. Just say "We screwed up and a lot of planned content for this expac was lost. We're sorry about this and promise to take better precautions next time. Yes, WOD wasn't as good as it could have been, and we accept the full blame for this."
Of course, on the other hand, I can see WOD as simply being a necessary step to reattach us to the Burning Legion for this upcoming expansion. The Legion have been portrayed as our worst enemy possible for most of the RTS, and a good part of the MMO. They've played major and minor roles in pretty much every expac released so far. The Old God's have overshadowed them (and Metzen made a joke about revealing the OG as bein the actual corruptor's of Sargeras, but he seemed to be joking), but now it's time for them to step up again.
Obviously this is meant to be a huge expansion, and Blizz wanted to take certain steps to set it up. Reintroducing Gul'dan being the primary one, and (of course) reminding us of the Burning Legion and just how powerful they really are. Also, at the same time, introduce a new Draenei hero, and give this ignored race some over-due focus. Also give us an chance to explore a long desired land, pre-outland Draenor.
I wonder how much of a part, if any, Yrel and Grom will have in Legion.
As for Y'rel. She was one of the highlights of this expac for me, and I would like to find out that a good amount of Draenei from Draenor have settled on Azeroth, with her as their official representative (and for all of the draenei on Alternate draenor) in the Alliance. She would have trouble accepting our Velen, but the two would eventually become close friends and have a student/teacher relationship like the alternate one (it helps that he recognizes her Naaru mark as his own).
Fucking bullshit what happened with him.
