  1. Everything is in such flux right now for sub Rogue. Now Venthyr is simming slightly higher than NF for ST, but is still much worse for dslice. At this point, I'm praying that I can find a reason to not be NF lol

  2. sv – covenants for sv is wrong – fae is actually good. depends a bit on wfi or bop. legendaries are wrong too and it depends on build (wfi vs bop again) trapper boots for example really op for bop – not so good for wfi. lpi / ryllak very good options for wfi and ahead of tar/flare leg. cluster best aoe and not far behind in st.

  3. nerfing everything into irrelevancy is the only way to make this shit system not create an expansion long headache for blizzard. only that way they can stick to 'choose the covenant whose transmog you like'

  4. As someone who wanted to main Enhancement shaman in SL and play Night Fae or Necrolord I'm really really dissapointed. But do you think the passives from the soulbind tree can make up for the covenant ability like the Lead By Example Emeni Necrolord ability?

  5. And me thinking of playing a melee dps this expansion…
    War Arms was my 1st option, many have said it was buffed then not so much…
    Ret was my second option, but still have some problems
    Rogue was my third option, seems like they will suck too

    The meta never felt so small

    <Sarcasm>
    It going to be a fun expansion for melees !

  6. Kyrian/Pelagos: Let Go of the Past now provides 1% reduced magic damage taken per stack, instead of Versatility.

    The tooltip now reads "Using a spell or ability reduces your magic damage taken by 1% for 6 seconds. Using another spell or ability increases this amount by 1% when it is not a repeat of the previous spell or ability, stacking to 3%.

  7. Do you know anything about Serrated Bone Spike (rogue necrolord) with the Lead By Example soulbind? It seems like you could get a really high uptime on that in m+. I don't have the soulbind guy unlocked on beta to test it myself and only recently got access -_-

  8. Allegations of any bribes ending in Blizzard's pocket for nerfing Pelagos so promptly as this video was released are completely unfounded and I will seek legal actions against any and all slanderers

  9. What do you think about night fae for demon hunters ? As a 1.5mn cooldown it is just slightly behind sinful brand in dps, and pulls ahead in aoe since the damage cleave (while sinful brand only cleaves with meta which isn't really something we're often using on trash packs in m+, or adds in raids). The leech duration being 30 secs means that we get a lot more self survivability as well. I really doubt the 30% attack speed and cast speed debuff from sinful brand is going to matter unless you time it when the boss has a big damage phase and it means you're just losing on dps sitting on it.

    Also having a cheat death with dreamweaver soulbind seems really helpful as a progress tool in raids. As long as we don't die from standing into fire there's a good chance it's just a free second life.

  10. My favorite spec is FERAL druid … but in BFA he is really weak in raid vs other classes … how good will be in shadowlands raids please? midtier or lowtier? :-/ nobody want feral druid in his raidgroup …

  11. Kinda Happy DKs don't have to go night fae + ventyr is good on all 3 specs and the transmog is good and general draven is pog for tanking. Imma sadly go necrolords monk, rip ww,

  12. Personally, I'm going to be ruining my chances at getting into raids/mythic+ on my third character by going Night Fey Warrior.
    It's going to be a very distant third place anyway that I only plan to switch to if my raid group doesn't already have a warrior and wants battle shout, and the extra movement from soulshape seems like it'll make transmog/mount runs faster.
