US Haven't played since the WoD release event, what's new?

[Robert the Druid]

Hello again old (and new) friends!

Been out of the loop for a little while, what have I missed out on?

Also, is there a new tier-list for F2P twinks? Been wanting to actually play some of my others aside from my druid, so I wanted to weigh my options on which I should play.

Thanks!

U mean u haven't played since Legion release event?

Yea, that.
My bad, lol, couldn't remember what expansion we're in.

Hunter is broken still. Arms looks like its in a good spot. Rshaman got some buffs in 7.2.5. I've been seeing some enhancements and they've been decent.

 

[Chops]

Balance is really strong, if you prefer your druid. Fury and Arms warriors are ridiculous, though fury is more group/healer dependent.

As @Hashbrowns mentioned, I think enhance shaman are THE sleeper class in our bracket. Really strong in the right hands.

Honestly, every class has a viable spec. Aff locks, outlaw rogues, disc priest, frost mage (ray of frost OP), even ret pallies.

Outside of Hunters being OP, the bracket is in a really good place right now. And hunters are so OP, you have a ton of FotM rollers who still backpedal and keyboard turn so 90% of the ones you see arent worth worrying about.

Here's what's new.

 

[Nocontest]

Are we going from survivals hunter being op to all hunter specs are op?

hunters have been up since day 1 in twinking
range mele is just super broken (in catac, mop, wod, etc.)

they will always be op and a flavored class, so yeah any hunter is a scumbag, don't roll one, real deal.

its really nostalgic to see old f2p twinks
keep in mind there is always a next expansion ,and that could bring life again to our community like never before

not much tbh or not that noticeable changes.

the only major thing you've probably missed was the "love was in the air" dungeon event was now obtainable level 15 and up.

meaning ya could farm the http://www.wowhead.com/item=50250/big-love-rocket

in addition could farm the new epic neckless that could scale to your level and spawn in during that event only.

that's the one for the achievement but it doesn't really do much other than being a snow blower rather than a leaf blower.

If I was being pedantic, I'd say survival is broken, MM and BM are predictably a little OP (just given the mechanics of ranged dps and lack of gap closers on melee at this level)

But I'll just shorthand that with "hunters are op"

 

[brayae86]

Can confirm rays of frost is pretty badass.
Hunters have always been OP in twinking but don't seem that bad right now, warriors are the real hassle. Geared right they're hitting hard and it's consistent

Patch 7.2.5 dropped the other day. Shadow priests received some really nice dmg buffs. Disc received that one talent that increases your dmg/healing after damaging anyone at low HP which is pretty strong for a lvl 15 talent. Sub is now likely the best rogue spec. Arms is even more of a terror than it already was with recent buffs. All warlock specs were buffed. MM hunt and BM got buffed. WW monk buffed. I keep seeing ray of frost pop up for mages, but arcane is the way to go.

Thank you That's very helpful.
I'm gonna try to queue up for some BGs on a few random specs I have geared up, see what stands out to me.

With Warlocks getting buffed I definitely might give them a try, since I would imagine there aren't very many poking around.

Edit: Rogue definitely isn't for me, lol.

Can confirm aff locks are pretty fun, especially with Malefics Grasp. And they arent too common.

Lock was pretty fun, I did affliction but will try a few more specs.
Gonna give some more of my toons a try and see what I think of other specs, but 'lock is pretty appealing so far.

Edit: Not feeling Balance druid too much, sadly. :/
Was my hands down favorite spec, P2P and F2P for so long.

Edit: Enhance shaman are low-key OP, and pretty damn fun.

Edit: Shadow priest is feeling lackluster, like it's almost good but it's missing something.
If I'm allowed to free cast I can do some decent damage, but how often does that really happen.

Edit: Fury/Arms warrior are both pretty fun, but if you're solo queuing you're gonna have a bad time. Need a healer to do anything.

I've been leveling (Now 18) a Enhance Shaman, and it's pretty fun. Quite resilient! Some nice crits, as well.
