Legion - Fury Warrior Spell Animations
New animations aren't complete, but here is an early preview of the new and modified Fury Warrior spell animations.





Legion - Tier 3 BMAH Gear Transmog Restrictions
The developers answered one of the questions about transmogging BMAH gear again today.

This was originally done to encourage players to diversify secondary stats -- the closer an item was to a single-stat secondary, the more it suffered from this penalty. We reevaluated the method we were doing this by in 6.2, finding that most people were just confused by it and it didn't affect balance in any significant way, so we changed it. Your secondary stat ratings should add up to a consistent value no matter what the combination is from here on out. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Ability Damage in PvP
We've discovered a bug where weapon damage is being calculated incorrectly in our PvP stat templates. A lot of damage is overtuned as a result. We're working on fix it as soon as possible. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Ashran in Legion
Level 110 players will be able to queue for Ashran from the UI in Legion. It will work similar to battlegrounds, you can queue with up to 5 players. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

[Request] Equal Gear for Factions/Vendor
Can we get a vendor or something so we can have equal gear regaurdless of which faction we choose?

It's kind of weird how Horde and Alliance Shadow Priests have different gear. Alliance gets the RPPM caster DPS trinket, while horde gets the on-use versatility caster trinket. Not to mention for whatever reason, I have 2% more crit on Horde, but 5% more haste on Alliance before BG scaling.
Are there any other cases of this or just Shadow Priests? (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Greatly reduced skill plays?
At least for warrior, there seems to be nothing. No spell reflects, no fear, no intervene. It seems like all of our pvp talents are just "more ways to deal damage" with maybe 2 or 3 exceptions. When I look through other dps classes it seems mostly the same. Most every class has become a gigantic damage bot with little else to offer. Especially from a tournament standpoint it seems like a very *boring* route to take. I dunno. Maybe I'm wrong.
There are some specializations we agree may feel "flat" with lack of utility tools right now on alpha. It would be useful for us to hear which specializations testers feel are in a bad/good/too good spot in that regard (with reasons why).

While the gameplay of specializations without PvP talents is important, it's most useful to us to hear feedback with full PvP talents. Some specs may feel flat baseline, but with talents feel like they're in a good/too good spot. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Demon Hunter (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
Demon Hunters and Flag Carrying
Demon Hunters are able to zoom across the map before it even has time to appear on the mini map. Timed it and it was 23 seconds from point of pick up to capture. Is it worth stunting their mobility like several other abilities while carrying the flag? It isn't fun when the flag is picked up and then captured before you really have time to react.
Agreed. We're making changes very soon. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Priest (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
Discipline Priest Feedback -- Build 21232 -- 3-Mar
Note that AoE damage spells don't (by default) fall off after 6 targets; that's only healing spells. For damage it's a much higher number of targets.

Correct though, the bulk of the value of Divine Star and Halo is still in the direct healing effect. Their gameplay is still meant to be focused on their use as healing spells when it comes to aiming/positioning. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Rogue (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
Outlaw Rogue Feedback -- Build 21232 -- 3-Mar
Do we have everything available to us atm? I miss a few of the "combat" spec had. As far as lvling goes and using Roll the Bones, its fun in the world, but i can see where it will be a hinder in a raid environment, to busy seeing what buff you got (miss an interrupt, stand in some poo, ect).
The intention is not for you to keep fishing for the lucky 5-buff Roll the Bones. If you have theorycraft indicating that it's optimal to keep using Roll the Bones, when you already have a buff (apart from the Health one), we'd love to review that. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Warlock (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator)
Demonology Warlock Feedback -- Build 21232 -- 3-Mar
I havent seen anyone talk about this but it seems that the dreadstalker imps are hitting significantly harder then imps summoned from impending doom and hand of guldan. Also they are not scaling with the infernal furnace tallent.
The Dreadstalker riders should 100% count the same as, and deal the same damage as, regular wild imps. There are just likely some bugs with that. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

    The old bladestorm was much better, it merely showed a red whirlwind to emphazise the storm... not some silly daggers appearing out of nowhere.
    Well some people will love the new animations and some will hate it. What Blizz can do is add the option to show old animations like they have done for character models.

    Whirlwind, Charge and regular strikes animations are AMAZING.

    Bladestorm really needs work. It actually almost looks like fan of knives and it makes no sense to be on a warrior's arsenal.

    that bladestorm is definitely not daggers, they are swords. a simple pause could have made you see that. Also it helps show where the distance of bladestorm aoe is. Could use some more work though, those swords look awefully generic so I bet there will be, or maybe something to change the swords.

    Why would you need to do loremaster on alts to unlock everything? First toon can do loremaster and unlock a good chunk. Every toon after can do selective quests to unlock things. And many pieces have the same look so even if a quest rewards it, you might find the same look from a BoE off the AH or from the salvage yard. So questing isn't required for everything.

    You only really need 4 classes to unlock everything. Warrior can unlock pretty much every weapon and the plate. Hunter for the bows/guns/crossbows and mail pieces. Any leather wearer for the leather although need a demon hunter for warglaives. And then pretty much any of the cloth wearers for any cloth. You don't need to do loremaster 12 times to unlock everything. There's very little that's class specific while leveling. Only thing that's really class specific is tier and even a good many of those have non-class lookalike sets. Earlier sets don't really have them, but later ones often do. So again, why would you need a lot of max alts? You can do it with 4.

    Can't say I like the restrictions since I have some items like a BoP epic cloth chest on my rogue that I got in Sunken Temple I likely won't be able to unlock as a result, though. I can understand restrictions to transmog to an item, but to unlock it? If it is bound it to us, it should be unlocked. BoEs would have to be equipped to unlock.

    Other than the fact the same tweet got posted on the front page twice, nothing.

    Could a solution be to use the skin of the quipped weapon (and maybe reduce de number of weapons turning around the character to make it more clear) ?
    Some RPG provide spells in this spirit.

    But maybe the technicality behind it is too high.

    With the 3 and 1% saying theyll play it on consoles, wonder if the console version is even worth it

    This is a WoW fan site though so most people here are clearly computer gamers

    So... my rogue has the Haliberd of Smiting (Spelling?) from the original zg, and thus it won't unlock because rogues can't equip it? ;_; nooooes!

    And Overwatch, get off my launcher! Blizz changed Mac support to Console so why keep trying to push it on me, when my MacBook won't run it >=[ (Would have given it a go otherwise)

    Uhm no. They get EARLY open beta access. Everyone else gets it on the 5th. Preorders just get it 2 days earlier than people who don't.

    Fuck overwatch, battleborn is so much more nuanced and fresh.

    The warrior animations definitely needed the upgrade, but I agree that Bladestorm needs a little work. At some point you're just being too literal with the animation. Might as well add blade clouds and blade lightning to go along with it.

    Well same can be said of any fps game or any game for that matter. People in the Legion Alpha or lets say The Division beta will have an advantage over those who haven't.
