Pro Toss Defeat Shadow-Lord Iskar in Hellfire Citadel without anyone holding the Eye of Anzu for more that 5 seconds in a row, on Normal difficulty or higher.	10	Draenor Raid

After Iskar's efforts to resurrect Terokk and return to power ended in frustration, he was approached by Gul'dan with an offer and a promise to break the ancient curse of Sethe. No longer flightless, elevated from the shadows yet still a master of illusion and deception, Iskar's hour of vengeance is at hand.

PvE
yeah rag, garrosh all that 3 healing is a thing currently, which is bad. 4 is acceptable,I pref 5
What fights do you see get 3-healed currently? It's incredibly uncommon. (WatcherDev)
you can 3 heal everything except maidens blast and blackhand As far as i know
3 healing not especially common. 4 healing everything except Blast Furnace is the norm, however.
The only fights in Foundry that are 4-healed a majority of the time are Kromog, Maidens, and Blackhand, fwiw. (WatcherDev)
Are we talking Mythic, or just in general? Sort of changes the dynamic.
Mythic Foundry specifically - obviously comps vary wildly in Flex-size difficulties. (WatcherDev)
We 4 heal every fight in BRF except BF. Starting to 4 heal BF as extra dps bypasses mechanics.
Right, but huge difference between dropping a healer for speed/efficiency on farm vs. progress norm. (WatcherDev)
Well most fights were 4 healable because of a lack of raid damage (flamebender)
Sure, though there's a difference between "4 healable" and "doing it wrong if you bring more than 4" (WatcherDev)

Reputation / Questing
Great feedback that I'm sure you'll appreciate, and maybe even relate.
Thanks for forwarding! (craig_amai)

Patch 6.2
Tannan is tuned to Heroic/Mythic geared? Is this accurate, because that's what's being reported.
We'd be curious to hear specifics about mobs or areas that felt too punishing. Definitely not the intent. (WatcherDev)
should be the intent. Endgame zone built up 2be the Fortress of new "Fel Horde " should be challenging
Definitely should be tougher than the rest of Draenor. Definitely should not require high-end raid gear (WatcherDev)

Overwatch - Zenyatta and Mercy Gameplay
Blizzard released some gameplay footage of Zenyatta and Mercy this week.

Leeroy Jenkins in the Warcraft Movie
It looks like Leeroy Jenkins was in the script for the previous version of the Warcraft movie that Gary Whitta was involved in.

[minywheats]

If that script is any indication of the final movie Im terrified

[leothar]

I believe that's the script for the movie not being made. Thank god.

[MikeBogina]

Riflemen? Theramore?


What, no.

[Lahis]

If that script is any indication of the final movie Im terrified

First script from the movie that was never made. Theramore hasn't been founded during the first war during which the current movie will take place.

[Chickat]

Why is lfr gear 655? Thats the same as BRF. I understand them wanting it to not be the main catch up, but it should be at least 665. 670 sounds fine. Mythic is either 685 or 680 with the last boss dropping 700, so as long as lfr drops worse gear than normal Mythic bosses its fine. Seems way too low. No one will do it.

[Graden]

Theramore? First Dalaran flying already, now this??

It seems likely 655 is just a placeholder, as being the same as BRF wouldn't make any sense.

Good. LFR should be removed anyways. It's not real raiding, I don't see the point to it. Pugging normal is so easy it's pathetic there is a difficulty below it.

[Lahis]

That's the rejected script from before the movie was about the First War.

Ah, i see. Good to know.

HFC drops three different item levels of gear in each difficulty, I have not seen anything that shows LFR starting at 655, until today, but even then it would be in line with the rest of the instance. With the harder bosses dropping 670. What I have seen is end bosses dropping 675 in LFR, which should make the starting point 660. But even BRF LFR doesn't follow the same rules as flex and mythic as it drops both 655 and 660 gear.

Also, LFR never should and never will drop gear even close to the previous tiers Mythic content within the same expansion. Nor should be equal to or even close to previous Heroic gear. Again HFC LFR is supposed to top out at 675, right where it should. 10 ilvls lower than BRF herioc and equal to other catch up gear like the 20k gold Alexis gear.

Reading comprehension is not your strong suit, is it?

[Somarlane]

Reading comprehension is not your strong suit, is it?

No need to be rude. We all have misread something at some point, and he has already been corrected. Next time, take the effort to correct the misconception when posting, instead of attacking the other's mental faculties. Literally would have been less effort than flaming.

[Mormolyce]

Theramore?

Mythic dungeons.

- - - Updated - - -

Mythic dungeons.

Catch up gear is 695 in tanaan. The old Apexis gear was converted to gold to devalue the items. If someone wants to pay it, good for them. It gets gold out of the economy, but its not meant to be bought. The new apexis gear is 650 for 5k a piece and an item for 20k that upgrades it to 695.

[shoc]

Theramore?

http://www.wowhead.com/achievement=6070/thats-not-canon

Like others have said; that's the old rejected script from years ago. The new script has the movie taking place during the First War, in which Theramore did not exist.

[Teebone]

Reading comprehension is not your strong suit, is it?

-OR- you could consider that the script might be replaced with something even worse. It has me nervous, too.

[lichbane]

For some people, LFR is the ONLY way people see content. It was bad enough that they took out tier gear from LFR. Now you want to get rid of it? That would be the death of WoW. The only people left would be elitists like you.

[Findus707]

That is not the place Leeroy Jenkins die, they can't change the lore that much!
Leeroy dies and stupid, but heroic death, fighting dragons!
