@Raelapsed Not planning to use Lesser Charms in Warlords, and unlikely to convert them into anything.

@JoshBig We haven't finalized numbers but Conquest shouldn't change too much. Remember that it's only that high of an ilevel in PvP.

@1Dragonstrike Chi Torpedo is lacking for everyone, since RJW was changed to its current version. We're considering potential changes.

@Anyakei Glyph of Touch of Death is a kiss/curse; definitely not mandatory, at all. Glyph of Touch of Karma is strong, especially in Arenas.

@Anyakei In many cases, those are bad times to use ToK anyway.

@Achloryn Not sure what you're talking about. Which rune regen talent you take has a big impact on your gameplay, and adds depth.

— Celestalon (@Celestalon) May 9, 2014

@Achloryn Curious; I hear talking like this thrown around often, but I'm dubious of how many people even try playing without for comparison.

— Celestalon (@Celestalon) May 9, 2014

@Achloryn Yes, and that has a ton to do with gear and abilities available as well. Fact is, that row accounts for about 10-15% of your GCDs.

— Celestalon (@Celestalon) May 9, 2014

@Achloryn And that's big, certainly, especially feeling-wise, which is why we moved it down to lvl 60 for 6.0.

@Nogz__ Focusing Shot will trigger Master Marksman. Master's Call and Spirit Bond will not work without a pet.

— Celestalon (@Celestalon) May 9, 2014Druids and their Utility

@Zoomxsb @Omegatcu Stampeding Roar, other utility abilities, and a ton of talented utility (especially offhealing).

— Celestalon (@Celestalon) May 9, 2014Elemental Shaman

@MarcusBowley It's been discussed. We want to leave the baseline rotation simpler, and allow you to choose to talent into more complexity.

— Celestalon (@Celestalon) May 9, 2014

.@SoukieBillard On a related note, everyone, when you see datamining of the next build, DON'T FREAK OUT. We're doing things to adjust...

— Celestalon (@Celestalon) May 9, 2014

.@SoukieBillard ...damage across the board for the 6.0 numbers, and that includes reducing a *ton* of numbers. Fear not, we'll balance it.

Nethaera

5/8- *Please note that further realm connections are on hold pending further back end work. We don't have an ETA on when these will resume, but we'll update this thread and the blog post once connections resume.

We do not have a date for the following realm connections, but will update this post when we do.

Drenden and Arathor

Postponed Until a Future Time

Alterac Mountains and Balnazzar/Gorgonnash/The Forgotten Coast/Warsong

We'll provide an update at a later point in time.

* Plans for these connections may change at any time, but we’ll provide additional updates on specific dates for future connections here as we can. Please note that as a part of the connection process realm times may change to match each other.

For more information on Connected Realms, please read the preview blog post here.

FAQ

Q. My realm needs connecting, why isn’t it listed?
A. The connections listed are the phases we’ve currently finalized and have planned connection dates or estimates available for. Additional connections are possible, but they just haven’t reached that stage yet. We’ll be updating the realm connection list as phases complete and new phases are planned.

Q. When will my realm be connected?
A. We'll update this thread with the latest information on currently planned phases.

Q. My realm has a lower population than those on the list, why isn’t mine being connected first?
A. Realm connections are based on a number of factors including population, faction balance, the realm’s physical location in the world compared to other realms it may be connected to, among others. It’s also worth noting that websites which attempt to track population, while helpful in many ways, are estimates based on public data which may not provide the clearest picture of actual population.

Comment by NulgarThat last scene of WoWCraft sums up Warcraft physics :DComment by perculiaBoth issues fixed :)Comment by stymI'm wondering if the shot down rogue at the end of the wowcraft episode is supposed to be Perculia.Comment by AlkonyI'm glad they finally updated the US forum info with that tidbit about connecting realms. EU got it weeks ago.Comment by 4267maxoLook's very promising, Wowcraft's epic :DComment by TrooMight have to do with the fact that almost every connected realm is having massive issues getting the armory to update correctly.Comment by timmytigeror the fact of how many guilds it kills and makes the devs have to fix.. 3 months and our guild is still dead and waiting
