Warlords of Draenor (Pre-Expansion Thread)

Ok i for one am happy with no flying it allows us boxers on a pvp server not to be dropped down on by a lvl 100. At lvl 90 yea 5-10 we can still do damage but when they are lvl 100 dont see it happening. Only thing that would be nice is if they upped the ground speed to whatever level your max flying speed you have atm. Saying in such if you have 150 flying you have 150 ground if you upgrade your flying to 310 your ground goes to 310. Then maybe make like a legendary quest chain to get flying in a later patch for wod maybe say a few months down the road.

While flying is cool in pvp it ended up being annoying. Getting harassed by agile and borderline exploitive single boxers while trying to do whatever is not my fondest wow memory. No flying means less odd line of sight terrain for them to abuse.

From the looks of it Garrisons will be tied in directly to the creation of high end items that were once considered "daily cds"

So anyone with an army for professions may be disappointed next expansion like myself.

Elemental fans should be pleased with this, not confirmed yet but sounds reasonable

• Fulmination When you have more than 1 Lightning Shield charge active While Lightning Shield is active, damage and multistrike damage from your Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning spells generate an additional Lightning Shield charge, up to a maximum of 15 charges, your Earth Shock spell will consume any surplus charges, instantly charges beyond 1 dealing their total damage to the enemy target. Shaman - Elemental Spec.
• Multistrike Attunement (New) You gain 5% more of the Multistrike stat from all sources. Shaman - Elemental Spec.
• Item - Shaman WoD PvP Elemental 2P Bonus (New) While Ascendance is active, you are immune to silence and interrupt effects.

In 5v5 environment we can start the fight with glyphed swg for silence immunity (after first cc wave) and get 15 ls charges, then nuke with with instant elemental blast+es, that should be all we need to get a proper oneshot off, we dont know numbers yet but that sounds like a massive burst potential, with additional multistrike and having the privilege of 270% crit damage, plus we can still top that by using elemental fusion for doubled earth shock damage or extra damage from liquid magma (old spew lava) / storm elemental totem

Then we still have ascendance with silence immunity to get another kill or use it in situations where we have to force them to retreat, even without flame shock I doubt double healer can catch up with 4 shamans spamming lava burst/lava beam and eventually have another 10-15 charges of fulmination thanks to that perk that allows lava burst to generate ls charges.

I'm a little worried though about 4 dps teams since one healer is going to have a hard time keeping 4 people up.

jk elemental healing.

// As for enhancement, they still look great thanks to improved maelstrom but having heals on demand seems to be stronger in wod where elemental clearly has an advantage over enhancement

So is any multiboxer in the beta?

How is questing looking? I watched some slag mines and was disappointed to see the focus is moving towards Wildstar / Groundslam effects which really screw us multiboxers.

Are any of the quests ground click collects? Those broke me with MoP. So much that I iced my entire team for a good while.

Just wondering if I should cut down my team as I really don't want an encore of that experience.

No matter what I'll stick to the guild standard+dungeon farm thing, gonna use 4x golden fleece + rock moss for extra income (~2400 gold/hour when used on 4 toons), gear reward is also better and no trouble with ground collecting quests in crowded areas in the first days of release

Do you not bother with faction? Or is it that the faction you gain through quests (not insignificant) isn't the faction you need for the gear you want?
