The team knew from the start that the wings would correspond to the Pillars of Creation that players have acquired throughout Legion.

Morgan Day is super excited to bring in more opportunities to bring the environment into play as part of the encounter such as Maiden of Vigilance and its bomb mechanic.

Kil'jaeden makes his return in the Tomb of Sargeras and this time he's taking advantage of his wings as an Eredar Lord.

There is a new effect in the second intermission of Kil'jaeden called the Deceiver's Vale where the whole raid can't see more than a little sphere around you.

Black Temple Timewalking doesn't change the bosses that much; you're just changing your character level and item level down.

There were some changes that were needed to be made for modern Black Temple.

The rewards from Black Temple Timewalking will be around normal Tomb of Sargeras item level and will use the same naming and appearances but be different items.

The team liked the Withered Army Training scenario and they could have been tuned better and had the idea of building a similar scenario.

However, they wanted a theme that wasn't tied to the Legion.

There are four different transmog sets to get from the Chromie scenario and you'll have to complete it on 4 different character or different armor times to get them all.

Something that's on our radar is how constrained the rotation is with both Jagged Wounds and Savage Roar. The lowest-priority finisher () gets pushed out too much with the combination of those two talents, which also currently happen to be too favored for DPS purposes. Both of those talents likely have too much of an impact on the pacing of the spec's rotation (for what a talent should do). In both cases we should probably reduce the talent's impact on pacing (that is, on GCD/resource usage) and either A) increase its DPS in some pacing-neutral fashion, or B) let the talent value sink if it's currently dominating its row, and counterbuff the spec some other way.

This is a broader issue that we've started looking at more often since 7.0, when the number and complexity of spec-specific rotation-modifying talents/bonuses increased dramatically. Problems like having too many or too few open GCDs, or resource starvation/flooding, spring up a lot more often when 5 rows of talents + legendaries/traits can be potentially moved in and out of the same rotation. And because talents already have a tuning constraint (they need to be DPS-balanced within their row), the pacing effect can't always be easily tuned on its own. I'd expect a more common trend of talents having a simple added effect that boosts DPS so the talent can be tuned without introducing an overly large pacing swing (seen already with many recent redesigns: Soul of the Forest, Legacy of the Void, Boulderfist, Reverse Entropy, and so forth).

Comment by wolf1438Thanks to their "intended" legendary update quest my raid got a terrible slacking time. After each boss someone has to go to dalaran to pick up quest. Why did they even make it like a quest. Why don't just pick up 50 parts and then assmeble em to whole item?Comment by PentarionThanks to their "intended" legendary update quest my raid got a terrible slacking time.

I just handed it in at 55 and now have 0.Comment by Dymundslingrunless they have more than 1 legendary they want to upgrade. Waiting until after the raid when you finish your 50 at boss #2 can be 7 more bosses at up to 7 per boss. that is another 42 essences you would miss out on.Comment by HezzaraThanks to their "intended" legendary update quest my raid got a terrible slacking time.

Should probably read "4 different characters with different armor types"

That said, rofl @ doing it four times. It's a fun scenario and all, but I got my timelord title and am just popping in to do the research now and will probably finish it once on my main. The xmog sets are just so uninspired and pointless that even the completionist in me couldn't care less about getting them :P

The legendary upgrade quest is something I'm really really hoping they reconsider. At this point, I've got around 8-9 legendaries on the main and about another 20+ across my alts. I'm not grinding that out. I still have 910s on alts because I didn't like the system originally :P

Oh well, time to check out all the DLC I've ignored with XCom2 Long War instead, lol :D

Edit: I should add that I love so many things about legion, there's just so many things that have been feeling like chores needing to be done :PComment by orionaegis7you'll have to complete it on 4 different character or different armor times to get them all.

Do you mean where the average to above average feral druid should fall?

Or did they mean in the row of talent choices.

I'll speak only on the first. I will always and forever struggle with the concept of a multiclass (ie can be tank/dps or heals/dps or all 3) - so I include myself in this because I fill all three roles when needed. But it is certainly a frustration to see the disparity between a pure DPS (that'd be hunter) versus something that can fill a lot of roles. And I know people I dungeon crawl feel the same. 'Hey I'm Havoc DH but queued as tank so I'm just going to tank that as DPS' DRIVES me INSANE. If I wanted to tank something - which I usually end up doing .. I'd have sat in my short little tank queue. If I just want to relax and not stress as much about the party as a whole I want to go DPS. Instead we kick the idiot half way through - I tank a quarter of it and a tank pops in at the end.

It just frustrates me to know that I can't fill the role I want when other players don't want to wait.Comment by likwiddThere's a very fine line between optional and mandatory when something is rewarding. And if it isn't rewarding, people won't do it more than once. I.e. suramar story.
