I just hope there aren't any broken items from SL zones that scale to infinity at 20
[doublepost=1657868505,1657861290][/doublepost]It seems DF is in such a great state so far that they had time to work on this https://www.wowhead.com/news/inclus...ht-body-type-pronoun-and-voice-options-327718 :kekD:

It's so overboard... really? Body type 1 and body type 2? Literally everyone can agree that broad shoulders, strong jaw. facial hair is generally *masculine* (not male), and the opposite is generally *feminine* (again, not female, feminine.)

And up to this point, pronouns have been basically entirely avoided in comparison to "The Champion" or "This Recruit"
 
Since the mounts of the dragonriding are in the mount journal, and all unlocks are account-wide, I recon that if you summon yourself to the new place on a lowbie, that it'll be available to your low level alts as well, then?

If I am being honest with myself, having all the items with broken scaling in the Shadowlands prepatch and the few months that followed were some of the most hedonistic fun I have ever had playing my twinks.

I don't enjoy BGs all that much these days, but I do acknowledge that these items cause problems with PVP balance.

Personally, I have zero shame about getting every single broken item I can get my grubby little hands on, but I stear pretty clear of competitive PVP environments. While I doubt it will be anywhere near the amount of items we saw during the last prepatch, I am hoping for a few new toys, even if they end up being temporary.

I am quite curious about how much of the Maw we will be able to explore as part of the Shadowlands intro quests.
 
I don't really think it matters with enhance... you either get more or less damage (or the other classes overall will do less because they lose abilties)... you still wont have the things that matter at 20 (or whatever), like execute or a stun... people can blather on about whatever they want... the totems are just ok.

The amount of fights you lose as enhance as opposed to other classes that have a closer is bonkers... not really sure how that will be fixed... maelstrom weapon is just more or less damage, its just unexciting news.

It just depends on what the actual burst potential is with the malestrom is (or what you have to give up, I have not looked at any actual tree yet)... because that would be what is missing as an pseudo-execute for the entire package. It just looks like what we have now, just worked differently.

Being able to make other classes worry about actually being in a 1v1 is what matters... right now unless you get super crit happy and lucky... you just get a heal kicked and die... it does not matter who is behind the wheel. If they make it where the other person has to worry about randomly getting killed that will go a huge way.

stacking maelstrom is for people that don't play shaman at all and think getting to 10 stacks is something that is gonna happen 100% of the time (or even 10% of the time without already being dead)... and base their opinions off of simulations and hitting training dummies... which I get is forum practice. Or maybe some other stupid shit like limited class arena.

Hopefully enhance shaman gets more abilities available at 20. If not - maelstrom weapon will be a big meh. They need a defensive (astral shift), a gap closer (feral lunge) and some form of cc (cap totem or hex). If their toolkit remains as bare-bones as it currently is, will be better off playing an ele shaman and not succumbing to the weaknesses of enhance.
 
I mean go watch a video on classic and exactly what spellhance was... the 20s regardless of what we will get aint it.

I'll be happy with whatever... but again, fixing the issue with being alive for 1 second versus Stier fat kid trash is what really needs to be fixed, then *more damage matters* will be a bonus.

I'm gonna ignore your whole "woe is me Im not a surv hunter, nothing matters I hate this game but still play it constantly" pity party you throw any time you decide to weigh in on a conversation and just say

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SPELLHANCE IS BACK BABY!

Not sure if this was posted here yet, but this might mean we get access to Cataclysm stuff and.. well, everything else in the game almost.

https://www.wowhead.com/news/leveli...ragonflight-level-from-10-to-60-in-any-326805

Edit: If we have access to all zones that currently exist up and together with Shadowlands then that means we can also get stuff, like, a level-3 Garrison and all that.

We'll just have to see, I guess.

I have speculated that as well, since "Cataclysm-Cataclysm" is the only expansion you can't level 1-50 right now.

But Chop's point is very probable. Enabling "Cataclysm-Cataclysm" zones for pre-flight leveling would require them to provide a slow, temporary Flying Mount (which was already done in the past, in the Enhance Artifact Weapon questline).
 
Enhance is legendary in the right hands, Jadefire just sucks donkey balls. Nothing new here continue on with the news.

Try not to be such a toxic kid, dude. You get called out all of the time on here by your superiors for being trash... wrap it up.

That aside, seen the best play... outside of arena and limited class solo shuffle which nobody cares about... the best suffer from the same issues (sendbob, stocks, multi, name any other 100 guys that are better than me). I do hope that maelstrom will help... and it might, but again only a complete idiot just ignores that main issues with enhance (or does not understand them)... no execute, no stun, no instant heal... those are the fundamental issues with the class that stop it from just being a glass cannon dps machine... unfortunately the games were you get away with that have more to do with team comps than individual skill.

I'll be more than happy to get out of melee range as much as possible if malestrom works the way I'd like. I don't like seeing flurry tied into crit, but we can deal with that later. Love to see spellhance... sucks I wont get to use it swinging around the crow-wing reaper with super windfury... but people can complain and also look forward to something... these are forums... not the "I agree with everything anybody says candy-land".
