I have some incomplete info about WoD I would like to confirm. I DID Google these, but there is a bit of outdated information out there, so I thought it would be best to ask here.
1) I heard WoD will rely less on daily quest grind. Is rep grinding no longer necessary for gear? I think there are very few dailies, yes. Rep, not sure. You can check wowhead for the rep rewards though
2) I heard you need to obtain a Proving Grounds medal in a specific role (tank, heal, dps) before you can queue up for heroics in that specific spec. Sounds like a good idea. Is it true? Does this apply to LFR too? Just heroics, LFR has a ilevel requirement though.
3) I heard there will be faction capitals in Draenor (like in MoP), and not a common sanctuary like in TBC and Wrath. Not really a fan of this, but I guess it may be a lag issue.
4) I saw somewhere that your equipped gear would re-spec automatically whenever you switch specs. So for example, if I switch my prot pally to holy for doing a dungeon, all the defensive stats and +str in my gear would magically change to healer stats and +int, etc. Sounds amazing. Did that make it into the game? Does that apply to any gear you find, i.e. quest rewards, dungeon drops, LFR epics, etc? Gear doesn't have int or str, but whatever your spec will change the main stat. The secondary stats do not change, so you won't get "defensive stats" like parry/dodge, but tank classes do get passives to help there. Prot paladins get parry from crit chance for example
5) I heard that Blizz would add a feature which would make addOns such as oQueue unnecessary. I saw that there is a new "group finder", is that the one? This is already in the game and functioning.
Thanks in advance.
