It's something we can consider for a later time, but right now the system is designed for proper heirloom items. (WarcraftDevs)

PvE
seems we got mythic ability in hc Blast Furnace? slagpool givin energy to boss? DJ says mythic only?
Slag Pool is used on all difficulties and affects Heart of the Mountain in phase 2. Dungeon Journal will reflect this in 6.1. (WarcraftDevs)

So Sigil of the Black Hand quest, if I use it and kill Blackhand first will the rest of the instance be available?
Yes, the quest unlocks the ability to go directly to Blackhand, and you can still do the rest afterwards. (WarcraftDevs)

PvP
Appreciate that folks still send bug reports to this account despite it no longer being a source of discussion about WoW. Very helpful, ty. (holinka)
You're a dev who uses this twitter for WoW. Until you stop anything and everything wow from this account, deal with it
I dont use this twitter for wow. (holinka)
Yeah, okay. The problem is you've used it in the past and you are the lead pvp dev... You can't just use twitter and then not
but that's what's happening. (holinka)
Not offended, but that and 'not using twitter for WoW anymore' makes it a bit uncertain.
Suggestions/feedback are fine. I just won't be replying with insight from this account. (holinka)

i have a question about Damping debuff in arena's, i played some with a friend after a few games we got a insta debuff, why?
In 2v2, if both teams have a healer, Dampening is applied immediately. (WarcraftDevs)

http://t.co/2BBrxGOsgh Tournament trinkets have the wrong stats. Also missing the new versatility trinket for tournament
They’ve been updated but the new versatility trinket will not be available for tournament in 6.1. (WarcraftDevs)

Computers - Setup of the Month
Each month or every 2 months, depending on the hardware evolution, we will post a couple of hardware setups for those of you who are thinking of upgrading their computer!

This month
The current SSD prices are trending slightly downward again over the past few months, with most SSDs under $0.50 per gigabyte when on sale.

Depending on how much you want to overclock, you may need to spend a bit more for a better CPU cooler like the NH-D14.

Unless you are doing a lot of video rendering or streaming, you do not need the 4790K and should spend that money elsewhere.

Make sure to keep your AMD and Nvidia drivers up to date.

Don't hesitate to post any feedback in the comments of that news post, and don't forget to visit the Computer Forum for any extra questions! If you are interested in Folding@home, take a look in our team's thread.

Plus I still use mine to burn CDs for the car(despite that one obnoxious guy yelling about nobody has CD players in cars....lol, or watches TV lol.... or uses Desktops/Laptops....lol, I'm sure next it'll be noone doesn't use a driverless car), and I like to buy boxed copies where possible, if there's no direct download service for the game, gotta use the disc. If you don't want one, don't buy one.
    I use optical drives because I have 20 year's worth of client files backed up onto DVDs. (Illustrator and designer) I also send hard copies of files to client via DVD, as well as thumb drives.

    Besides, I don't trust thumb drives and HDDs and SSDs for long term storage - been burned by HDDs before, badly. $20 to make backups? Pffft. I spend more every month on coffee. I can't see why it's even an issue, unless it's some neckbeard who thinks choices like that define your manhood, or some idiotic thing like that.

    The most reliable form of backup by far would be cloud storage. Redundancy and geographic distribution can protect you from things like house fires and meteor impacts.

    Because certain applications will shred through the life cycle of an SSD in no time heavy manipulation of databases and lots of read writing. Also if the SSD crashes all you data is pretty much gone. On a HDD drive if your HDD drive crashes there's a chance you can still recover some data if if a a hefty price.
    You really want to have a file server just running all SSD drives? Can you buy me a small country while you are at it?

    Maybe on day SSDs will replace HHDs but there is still a use for HDD.

    True. I'm still not sure I want a third party having access to all my data, files, etc. *Shudder*

    Okay, I'm new to these setups. Why is one called "Puppy" and the other "Dolphin"? Does that actually mean anything?

    What is the addon that allows you to share notes between raid members? It is present in the Midwinter kill video...outlines healer CDs and boat kill party assignments.

    Anyone?

    Patch 6.1 class tuning is mostly buffs to weaker specs and talents, so it shouldn't drastically change things.
    Yeah, that's why they are nerfing Warlocks when they were already down near the bottom of the list, haha.
