Legion Class Preview - Demon Hunter, Blue Tweets, DLC #512

Classes
Will you guys be putting thought into things like Gladiator and Fistweaving as potential 4th specs?
It's definitely an interesting idea that we'll consider for the future, but for Legion we're focusing on the current 36 specs (WarcraftDevs)

Death Knight (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator)
Any current plans for Death Knights Presences in Legion expansion, or do they remain a same?
Presences have been removed. They were mostly clutter, and negatively impacted gameplay when off-role Presences were used. (WarcraftDevs)

Druid (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator)
Will Restoration Druids have Genesis in Legion? I love Genesis, especially for Challenge Modes.
Genesis has been removed. Instead, Flourish and the new Mastery will help in similar situations. (WarcraftDevs)

Hunter (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator)
Will we get an updated Aspect of the Pack for Legion? I hate having to find the forgetful hunter and tell him to turn it off
Aspect of the Pack will no longer bother you in Legion... (WarcraftDevs)

Mage (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator)
Wait, is Glyph of Regenerative Ice going away in Legion now that major glyphs are going away? Don't take our only self-heal
Mages should focus on avoiding/absorbing damage. We don't like self-healing for them. Instead, we made Ice Barrior class-wide. (WarcraftDevs)

Will the mage specs be more balanced in Legion? In WoD Fire was basically AoE only & bad for single target (e.g. most of HFC)
Previously, we favored some AoE niches between specs. We'll be toning that down for Legion. (WarcraftDevs)

Monk (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator)
With Elusive Brew gone, what will Brewmasters use Crit for defensively?
We're still discussing exactly what it'll be, but are going to ensure that Brewmasters still value Crit. (WarcraftDevs)

Clarification on the brew master keg? Is it just just the one on the end of the artifact staff or an actual keg?
Yes, the one on the staff. The base artifact's keg is a small bottle, but the alternate visuals have a much larger keg, like Chen. (WarcraftDevs)

Paladin (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator)
Will Light of the Martyr heal the caster if they have Beacon on them?
Yes. It's likely to be less healing than the self-damage it deals, but it does work. (WarcraftDevs)

Priest (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator)
Say we have a Lei Shen transition phase. Healing to be done, but not really anything to attack. Do you see Disc being useful?
In these rare situations, Disc would use pure healing spells. It's less effective, but far from useless. (WarcraftDevs)

Rogue (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator)
About CP wasting for rogues. Anticipation is a huge help, but it feels like something like it should be baseline. Any plans?
Not planning to make Anticipation baseline. Minimizing wasted CP is a core Rogue mechanic. (WarcraftDevs)
That said, we definitely recognize the ease of use it provides, so the other talent options need to be strong to compete. (WarcraftDevs)

Shaman (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator)
Could it be possible to allow Ele shamans Lava Burst precasting? So the dmg increase applies on hit and not casting? Please.
Possibly. Nuances like that will be evaluated in beta. Important to consider the reverse: casting LvB just before FS expires. (WarcraftDevs)

Will Healing Surge still be instant after some MSW build-up for Enhancement? Would absolutely suck if not.
We're still evaluating that. It currently costs a variable amount of Maelstrom (0 to 20). May affect healing, cast time, or both. (WarcraftDevs)

Warlock (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator)
I keep hearing a lot about executes being mostly removed outside of Warriors. Will Doomguard's Doom Bolt still have execute?
Still evaluating. We're most sensitive to abilities which are only usable at low target health. Doom Bolt is different. (WarcraftDevs)

Does Dark Soul still exist for Warlocks in Legion?
No. Instead, Doomguards and Infernals will be on much shorter cooldowns, and possibly stronger, to fulfill the same role. (WarcraftDevs)

Warrior (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator)
Not sure if this has been answered but, What about SMF for Fury warriors? I like using 1H's specially fist weaopns
Fury will strongly prefer 2H in Legion. We'll make sure you have appropriate weapons when the time comes. (WarcraftDevs)

PvE
Will number of valor upgrades for 6.2.3 be the same for all regions? Last time they were different.
All regions have two upgrades. (WarcraftDevs)

are the new CMs going to have a mob count requirement or are stealth runs back in business?
Yes. Kill count requirements are necessary to prevent shenanigans, but stealth is still a useful tool. (WarcraftDevs)

PvP
Will honor and conquest points get wiped with the new season?
Yes, Conquest will be converted to Honor. All Honor over 4000 will be converted to silver at a rate of 35 silver per Honor. (WarcraftDevs)

UI / Addons
simple ui request: option to outline my character (like you can with target and mouseover). increase raid visibility of toon.
Done! A toggleable self-highlight for improved raid visibility is one of Legion's UI improvements. (WarcraftDevs)
