Season 5 Ending Next Week, Bluddshed's Starter Builds for S6

New Warlock Card Reveal - Possessed Villager; Druid Spell - Wisps of the Old Gods, Soggoth the Slitherer

HotD Finals & New Observer Interface, Murky In-Depth Tips & Tricks

Overwatch Patch 28484 - New Genji Skin, Competitive Splash Screen

Legion - Resto Shaman Artifact Effect
Resto Shaman also get an effect from their Artifact weapon in Legion, though it isn't as exciting as the Fire mage effect. After you have been idle for several minutes, your character assumes the pose shown below and a blue swirl appears underneath you.



Legion - Character Trial Boost
The latest Legion build added some interesting strings that point to players being able to boost a character to level 100 to try it for a limited duration. Unfortunately the process isn't enabled on the Legion Alpha right now, so we don't have more details.

This is a bug - Fury of the Eagle should not be consuming your stacks of Mongoose Bite. Thanks for the heads up! (WarcraftDevs)

Weird/stupid question: What's the bulk of quest design? What skills are needed?
it's about 50% spawning (creature placement/actions/flavor), 40% mechanics (building spells and gameplay) and maybe 10% writing. (DaveKosak)

Computers - Setup of the Month
Each month or so 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 fairly flat right now, with most SSDs under $0.50 per gigabyte when on sale. New GPUs may be coming later this year.

Depending on how much you want to overclock, you may need to spend a bit more for a better CPU cooler like the NH-D15.

Unless you are doing a lot of video rendering or streaming, you do not need the 6700K and should spend that money elsewhere.

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

Don't forget to visit the Computer Forum for any extra questions!

    Boost token? So they are "finally" adding new tokens and not just game time tokens? Boost tokens seem to be a thing. Can we also perhaps hope for server transfer and race change tokens?

    Iv'e always gone on the PTR to test classes and specs I don't have. You have the full access on there. This seems a little limited, but welcomed.

    Im pretty sure it just means the 50$ / expansion pre-order boost "token" (service), not a new gold bought boost token


    even though a boost gold token would be fuckin awesome, Id pay up to 500K for one

    So the most expensive set up is also the one that supports an item that requires an expensive setup.

    Working as intended.

    Mby consider updating Dell monitors since they released updated models U2417H and U2717D and prices are about the same.

    Boost gold token would be awesome from a selling perspective!

    @PC setups: save $'s, skip the dvd players. And why no high end GFX cards like the Fury (x) and 980 TI? Not even de 980 and the R390x.

    Looking at those PC setup prices, it seems that gaming laptops are really overpriced. You can get a lot in a PC for the same price. Granted that laptops have mobility but most of the time you travel, you are not going to have time or even good internet for gaming.
