I personally would love to see blizzard hunt down all abandoned projects that were being developed for vanilla wow and implement them into Season of Mastery like old Hyjal or the Emerald Dream.

This is my first real addon, just made it as a fun project and to solve a frustration of my own. I thought I might share it with everyone here as well

If you've ever had to search through your bags for a grey to destroy so that you can loot an item, this addon is for you - it will show up in those cases and show you which items to delete.

The addon is called Delete Cheapest Item and it's available on Curse: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/delete-cheapest-item

This is v1.0, so it's pretty basic and could potentially have a bug or two. Thanks and enjoy!

Basically, it gives you a floating head for every quest at reads the quest to you. I've found myself understanding so much more than I ever have and loving it. The banter from the flight masters alone is amazing haha

Who is excited and ready for tomorrow? :D

For any transmog collectors who also have Amazon Prime, there’s a new Prime Gaming reward available through December 26 for the Tabard of Fury that was formerly available as a TCG item.

For those interested, I've created a mirror of the WoW channel from YouTube on PeerTube.

It will mirror all new videos added on YouTube and you are able to subscribe to the channel on PeerTube from your Lemmy account: !warcraft@peertube.wtf

I really like QOL UI addons, this seems nice.

McFarlane toys. That warrior / paladin will be mine.

Blizzard's war on weak auras continues

Only with the $90 epic edition. Feels like a scummy move in a subscription based mmo. It's scummy at all times but even more so in this situation.

I think it’s the playground for Blizzard to figure out if Classic+ is doable.

Looking forward to trying it out 30. November!

Yeah, it's not scientific, but wow. Maybe I'm reading into this too much, but 70% of responding with what I read as "i don't care" is rough.

Is it normal that I just went from 40 to 54 in an afternoon? This seems VERY fast from what I'm used too. Also, where's the gear?

This doesn't feel like wow, I enjoy it but it's not at all what I remember. I haven't seen gear drop, what do disenchanters do? Is that still a thing?

I have zero clue what I'm doing lol I have a billion questions and don't even know what to ask, it's confusing but not at the same time.

I haven't even looked at my old professions. Almost scared too.

Yo, so I only ever played the lvl 20 trial during pre cata because my parents would never pay for a subscription to anything.

Once I got a job, cata had basically deleted WotLK so never got a chance to play it.

Now that WotLK Classic is here, would I be better off chancing cata in classic or should I just play the expansion in chromie time?

So it's been out a few weeks now. How many of you have gotten access to old Scholomance and/or Naxx? I'm not planning to drop 2.8mil on a Naxx outfit, but I'm enjoying going back and getting access to the spots. Getting my transmog itch.

This style of broadcast is perfect. It is like Red Zone but for 5 mans. Just non stop dungeon action.

They need to start the stream with “Seven hours of commercial free Warcraft starts…NOW”

Please update the sidebar. Rules, info and whatnot. Can't see server rules on mobile/ apps.

For any WoW pet collectors who also have Amazon Prime, there's a new Prime Gaming reward for the silver pig pet that was formerly available as part of the Recruit a Friend program. The promotion runs through August 24, and if you're also a Diablo 4 player there's another promotion ending next week for the Brackish Fetch mount armor.

Any tips for a newbie? Playing two characters one in the new expansion the other in the first area.

Okay before I get dog piled, I've really enjoyed Dragonflight. I love that everything I do progresses my character. I don't feel like my characters are left behind and I don't feel like wow token whales are leagues ahead of me.

The problem is more psychological I think. Retail has constantly pushed me to play as a solo player before dragonflight. Everything however was way more positive so I grabbed a group of friends and for about five months we steadily did things together. Well soon it was just me out of the eight or so playing. So I decided I wanted to try group play and I have to say PUGs for anything are just pure toxicity.

I joined a large guild, but they feel no different than going through LFG/LFR. I run mythics but I've had people brick keys at the first sign of difficulty or new tanks/healers queuing for higher keys without knowing the boss mechanics then leaving at a boss wipe.

It's pretty bad that I log on excited but that's only because I enjoy dragon riding. I do a couple of laps to explore or look atound, then disconnect because the thought of playing with people is a bummer.

I know people aren't looking to be assholes. I also know that their fun is dependent on everyone being decent at the content and that can sometimes make decent people act poorly if someone isn't.

At this point I just wish WoW was a solo game, at least retail. It pushed me for so many expansions to play solo just give me AI companions with similar gear to my own and let me play in a sandbox all to myself.

Classes

Death Knight Blood All ability damage increased by 10%.

Druid Guardian Ursoc's Fury absorb shield reduced to 50% of damage dealt by Thrash and Maul (was 60%).

Evoker Augmentation Developers’ notes: Augmentation is overperforming in dungeons and is doing less direct damage than intended relative to the power of their buffing effects. These adjustments will increase their personal damage in all situations and moderately reduce the effectiveness of their buffs in dungeon content. Close as Clutchmates now causes Ebon Might and Breath of Eons to be 20% more effective when not in a raid (was 40%). Fixed a bug where Close as Clutchmates would not increase the Evoker's damage done via Ebon Might for periodic effects such as Fire Breath.

Devastation Fire Breath's damage over time damage increased by 20% in PvP combat (was reduced by 10%).

Mage Master Shepherd increases Versatility by 12% (was 6%). Arcane Developers’ notes: The high-end burst damage of Arcane Mage was reduced with the release of Fractures in Time, so we’re increasing the damage of Arcanosphere, as we’d like it to be a more threatening piece of Arcane's toolkit. We’re also increasing the baseline damage of a few rotational spells, as Arcane's overall damage has been lower than we would like, and Nether Tempest has not felt like a competitive spell in PvP. Arcanosphere damage increased by 25%. Arcane Missiles damage increased by 12% in PvP Combat (was 5%). Arcane Orb damage increased by 30% in PvP Combat. Nether Tempest damage increased by 150% in PvP Combat.

Living Bomb damage increased by 300% in PvP Combat. Frost Developers’ notes: We would like Ray of Frost to remain a threatening cast, but still feel it’s slightly more lethal than we’d like. Frostbolt's damage has fallen behind other options, so we’re increasing its damage to reward casting. Snowdrift's activation has felt a little too difficult for the amount of risk involved, so we’re reducing the time to trigger the stun effect. Cryopathy is now 50% effective in PvP Combat (was 60%). Frostbolt damage increased by 150% in PvP Combat (was 100%). Snowdrift now has a 2 second activation time (was 3 seconds).

Priest Angel's Mercy's cooldown reduction is now 25% effective in PvP Combat. Discipline Penance damage and healing increased by 15% in PvP combat.

Monk Yu'lon's Grace effectiveness reduced by 50% in PvP combat. Windwalker Developers’ notes: Windwalker Monk's damage profile is more bursty than we would like, so we are moving more of its damage into base rotational spells. Rising Star critical strike damage bonus is now 50% effective in PvP Combat. Serenity now increases damage and healing by 10% in PvP Combat (was 15%). Whirling Dragon Punch damage is now increased by 120% in PvP Combat (was 80%).

Shaman Elemental Developers’ notes: We feel the backlash damage from Flame Shock has not been sufficiently high as to make the decision to dispel it compelling. Control of Lava damage increased by 40%. When gaining the Ascendance effect, Lava Burst will no longer automatically be cast on a player target affected by crowd control that breaks from damage. Enhancement Developers’ notes: We feel the backlash damage from Flame Shock has not been sufficiently high as to make the decision to dispel it compelling. Control of Lava damage increased by 40%. Restoration Now regenerates 700 mana per second at max level in PvP Combat (was 800).

Warlock Abyss Walker is now 100% more effective in PvP combat. Impish Instincts now reduces the cooldown of Demonic Circle by 3 seconds when triggered (was 2 seconds). Affliction Haunt now deals 230% increased damage in PvP combat.

Warrior Slam damage is now increased by 85% in PvP Combat (was 48%). Arms Developers’ notes: We’re increasing the damage of Bladestorm baseline and removing some power from the Unhinged talent, as its damage could be unpredictable for both the Warrior and their enemies. We’re also increasing the damage of Overpower to increase Arm Warrior's consistent pressure. Overpower damage is now increased by 30% in PvP Combat (was 20%). Bladestorm damage increased by 40% in PvP Combat. Mortal Strike damage increased by 10% in PvP Combat. Mortal Strikes from the Unhinged talent are now cast at 60% effectiveness. Fury Developers’ notes: We’re increasing the damage of a few Fury Warrior spells we feel are not impactful enough in PvP. Execute damage is now increased by 25% in PvP Combat (was 10%). Onslaught damage increased by 15% in PvP Combat. Ravager damage increased by 30% in PvP Combat.

Quests

Fixed an issue that could cause a player in the New Player Experience to become permanently, unintentionally unable to resume the tutorials.

Wrath of the Lich King Classic

Fixed some issues around the general interactions of Death Knight's Desecration with its targets.

I swear this game is making fun of me

I know it's fluff but I will love this on my warlock :D

Hello,

I just started Dragonflight, and found the Fyrakk event a few days ago.

On the first day, I looted 4-5 pieces of equipment from the dragon boss, trash mobs and the weekly chest.

On the following days, I got close to nothing. I no longer get any form of loot from the dragon boss.

Does the chance of looting something gets lower the more I farm mobs, or was I just very lucky in my first day ? Should I wait for the weekly reset for my loot chances to reset too ?

Once people finally realize their utility and/or DPS meters figure out how to show their contributions, Augmentation feels like it's going to become mandatory in the meta. Or maybe it is already now?

When would you NOT want to bring it? The utility and damage/heals buffing is always going to outweigh a third DPS, unless they nerf Aug to the point that it's literally just another DPS spec.

Is that necessarily a bad thing, though? If people actually end up being OK with doing less damage because they buff the group (which IMO they will), could we see other classes get utility specs added? Personally I don't like the overall aesthetic/playstyle of Evoker, but I'd KILL for a Pally utility spec to play.

I for one am excited to see if this shakes up the "required" group comp to Tank / Healer / Support / 2 DPS, so long as Evoker isn't the only ever support class. Thoughts?

Lots of WoW players don't know what support is apparently.

Apparently according to the WoW forums, five new colors is all that Forsaken getting as new customization.

I love this, hope they do it for all classic dungeons they revamped.

New mega dungeon, new evoker dps spec, cross-realm trading, mythic items now upgradable to 447

Massdispell is basically (especially in a bursting week) a requirement just like bloodlust and CR. The fact only priest have it, together with their Top-3 DPS and having Pi lead to a ridiculous amount of SPriests the higher the key level.

Some stats from raider.io:

M+20 and higher (timed)

• 10.2% of all DPS are SP (#1 is FOTM retri pala with 12.3%)
• 20.0% of all range DPS are SP

When bursting week:

• 14.9% of all DPS are SP
• 29.1% of all range DPS are SP

M+25 and higher (timed)

• 25.9% of all DPS are SP
• 48.3% of all range DPS are SP

When bursting week:

• 29.5% of all DPS are SP
• 52.8% of all range DPS are SP

I think granting a MD-like ability to the underrepresented classes (especially to those without BL and CR) would really help this situation.

But maybe I'm overreacting and its not that bad. What do you think?
