Jaina may be a Dreadlord, but did you know Varian was a Shivan demon?
In the Broken Shore scenario, Varian valiantly saves the day by splitting his sword in two and giving his life.But we know two things about Legion:You cannot change specs in combatFury Warriors can only dual wield 2 2-handersSo if Varian was dual wielding 2 2-handers at the time of his demise, then his fused sword must have been a 4-hander.What in the World of Warcraft has at least 4 hands? Shivan DemonsShivan Demons, who just so happen to fight with 4 1-handers.Did Varian really give his life so a few soldiers could escape, or was he returning to the Legion after working undercover?
Illidan came back 5 months and a half ago, and we still have no interaction between him and Tyrande, nor Malfurion
It was the first thing I was looking for after beating Gul'Dan. How Tyrande and Malfurion would react to the news that Illidan is back, that he is finally a "good guy" and our best hope to counter the Legion ? Five months later, I'm still waiting. I know Illidan have been quite busy with the Broken Shore and the Tomb, but... come on ! How did'nt Tyrande and Malfurion move their ass to come to him ? Please Blizzard, give me some insight of what they think about his comeback. Also, still waiting for more lore about bitchee queen and wolfie oldman.
Blizzard, Make More Audio Dramas!
I just rewatched The Tomb of Sargeras (https://youtu.be/iYAiQkiUsAk) audio drama and I had forgotten how amazing it was. The level of tension, the powerful imagery, the connections and insights to familiar characters, it's all just so immersive. I feel like that aside from cutscences, stuff like that is a bit harder to pull of in-game.I'm sure another one is planned for next expansion due to the overwhelmingly positive response, I just love the potential idea of these being more frequent. How cool would it be to listen to a story about Turalyon and Alleria battling through worlds against the legion, or perhaps a retelling of the Burning Crusades arrival on Argus and Velen's exodus as a result?Not sure if here is the best place to catch Blizzes attention, but it's worth a shot.
Imo Khadgar was a much needed key figure after WOTLK expansion
Up till the lich king, we had our main storylines. With cataclysm and beyond, blizzard introduced some new lore but without a real direction and follow ups. I like khadgar, despite being made a meme, because he shows us a direction. And along him we get to do side stories, be it the orcish clans, draenei in WoD or illidan and maiev in Legion.I like him being goofy at times, serious when needed and annoying during quests. I hope he can stay as long as blizz finds a replacement.Also better than green jesus
Elemental Mechanics - Fundamentally Fine or Fundamentally Flawed?
There was a "blue post" from Lore stating that they don't believe anything is "fundamentally wrong" with Elemental mechanics. I disagree just a bit, so I wrote some words.http://ift.tt/2uk4Onn: Since the early days of WoW I've been a Shaman, doing a lot of theorycrafting for Elemental Shaman (and other mathy projects), so even though I made the switch to Mage for Legion I'm still highly qualified to comment.
Very Important Information.
This has been posted before, but for those not in the know, you can summon a cat, target it and then do /sit to make it sit in your lap.
Hyrja does not scale correctly in Mythic+
My guild was doing a 14 HoV earlier tonight, and after multiple wipes on Hyrja we started to think that the fight was bugged. During Eye of the Storm, we were taking literally unhealable damage. 1.3m+ ticks every 1.5 seconds.After taking a look and analysing the damage we were taking, we realised that the fight was not scaling correctly, resulting in literally unhealable damage during EotS.Essentially, the way the mechanic works on base mythic is that the damage ticks for ~340,000 per tick, and the shield reduces that damage by ~260,000.This means that the shield roughly reduces the base damage of the ability by 75%.In Mythic+, while the damage from Eye of the Storm scales with the level, the damage that the shield reduces does not.This means that at our level 14, she was doing ~250% increased damage. This meant that every base tick of damage was hitting for ~1,200,000, plus the extra from her buff.If the fight scaled correctly, I would expect the shield to reduce ~910,000. This would
