All tanks will be excellent at solo play in Legion, and deal respectable damage on top of their great survivability. (WarcraftDevs)

What's the intended route for tanks and healers leveling? Grab their artifact then level dps?
Nope! Tanking and Healing specializations are being adjusted to be suitable for leveling as well. (WarcraftDevs)

Demon Hunter (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
Any word yet if Demon Hunters will be expected to use Fel Rush rotationally in raids for aoe damage? Could create problems tbh
We're currently experimenting with a few different options. Possibly only part of sustained AoE via a talent. Feedback welcome! (WarcraftDevs)

Death Knight (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
Please do not remove presences. They serve a key role in giving DKs choices in combat, and is a big utility they will miss
We can provide even better ways to make the same defensive choices in combat, and ensure DKs provide enough utility. (WarcraftDevs)

Druid (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
Any plans to Look at maybe tuning down Savage Roar to ensure the rest of the Feral 100 tier isn't overshadowed by it?
Yes. We're still experimenting with exactly where Savage Roar will go in the talent grid, and will tune accordingly. (WarcraftDevs)

I love tree of life form but not the talent, any minor glyphs in the works for treant form model swap or something?
Treant form is sticking around, though it may be via a spell you learn instead of a glyph. (WarcraftDevs)

Affinity: as a Guardian with Affinity Owl switching to Owl, can I be targeted by bossabilities only affecting ranged DDs?
None of the Affinities will change the targeting rules that affect you. (WarcraftDevs)

Hunter (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
Hey boss can we get clarification? Will ALL Mech pets be difficult to tame, or just the "Rare" ones Inquireing Gnomes want to know
Currently there are only a few that arent hidden away, we will see how that plays out. (Muffinus)

Mage (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
Invisibility pruned from Mages in #Legion? If yes, why? (Epecially in light of the Arcane PvP talent).
Nope, Invisibility is sticking around. Arcane even gets Greater Invisibility baseline. (WarcraftDevs)

Rogue (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
can outlaw rogues get cheap shot back? playing my rogue in legion alpha feels really terrible without it as an opener
CC is being reduced across the board. Outlaws focus on in-combat CC. Instead of Cheap Shot, they use Bribe, Blind, and Gouge. (WarcraftDevs)

Character / Items
. Is there any chance of reverting the mount size cap? Even a small one? If the answer is NO then just tell me I'm wasting my time
It was partially reverted in 6.2.3 i think? To allow you to still be like 50% bigger. Don't quote me on that number. (Muffinus)

Any chance we can see crystallized fel being purchasable for all the excess valor that we all have now? 40weeks for 2 rings
That's an interesting idea. Thanks for the suggestion! (WarcraftDevs)

PvE
please tell me augment runes are a thing of the past
We haven't made a final decision yet, but we think they worked well as a luxury consumable and market commodity. (WarcraftDevs)

Lore
Has there been a time skip between WoD and Legion? DH says BC was 10 years ago, but Wrath was only 4 years ago?
The Demon hunters in beta have a /silly joke line that shouldn't be taken as canon, if that's what you mean. (DaveKosak)
They also say mention being imprisoned for 10 years in some of the quest text though?
Quest name? (DaveKosak)

UI / Addons
will the new transmog system come with the prelaunch event or at launch of Legion?
In general, systems and UI improvements are tied to the pre-launch patch. (WarcraftDevs)

    Why are almost naked dudes holding all these weapons. That's quite distracting. At least give them pants and a shirt

    Tbh if they can sync zones and scale monsters depending on players then why not do it for what spec you are playing. Surely the tech is there?

    Relatively fitting though considering they're a vampire/reaper of sorts, stealing life and using blood magic.

    Then I look at the Subtlety rogue daggers and get a horrible sinking feeling. They're horrific, and I doubt Blizzard will allow me to transmog the Assassination daggers onto my Sub ones.

    I'm super bothered that you are bothered.

    Felicia Day has finally found something she can act as; an abomination.
  1. Super Kami Dende's Avatar
    I'll be honest, kind of over Felicia these days. Back when the Guild started and such yeah it was cool, now it just feels forced as if shes the only semi-quasi-popular Celebrity around Blizzard.

    felicia day is famous for her role in supernatural..

    and.. she is not a kiddy queen!

    She's also extremely annoying. Is she trying to be funny?

    I'm not sure who her fans are. Probably the same people who like Wil Wheaton, the Big Bang theory and other crap!
    You don't even know how right you are...

    Man, the sooner this irrelevant hoe disappears into oblivion, the better.

    I agree. Maybe it takes X sec to kill the boar in the woods regardless of spec or level? Would be cool!

    That hero's of the storm video made me cringe really bad. Not a big fan of the Blood DK wep.

    dunno who that woman was outside of her name but god was she gross.
  1. Lovecrafts's Avatar
    I didn't think Felicia Day could become any more of an obnoxious 'Guuuuurrrrlll G4muR1!1!', I guess I was wrong. What an embarrassment to female gamers everywhere.

    Woah, Felicia needs to avoid the extreme close-ups... she's 36 not 26...
