    I dunno what armor class that helmet is from, but guessing it's for the Forsaken WF and I need it.

    Will we finally get some class changes? Been a while and nothing on Shadow still.

    Blizzard tired of data mining?

    While I wouldn’t jump to that conclusion just yet, if they were ever to make a move against data mining, it stands to reason that this expansion would be a good place to start, as their “cards to the vest” storytelling angle is kind of made a joke by data miners.

    Don't even start that. Once they find out they aren't getting Zandalari Paladins, they will Cry cry cry.

    Wouldnt count on it, just logged on to the PTR and no changes for Prot Warriors yet it would seem.

    Their shadow and shaman community are still ever so patiently waiting.

    Paragon reputations
    Hated the grind in Legion, and now there is no WQ that grants decent rep (apart from seekers and champions).

    Why can't they implement paragon from the start?

    Lucky the people who care don't have to visit places that give spoilers!

    Wow, Lorthemar has a new robe model. Dawn of a new era.

    RIP sole original robe model, 2003-2018. The accumulated might of fifteen years and literally billions of net income from one game have allowed Blizzard to make a single new robe... that players will never get.

    God damnit I thought that was the Belf heritage armor NNNNNG!

    Dude, that Lor'themar model...

    They go there to ask the Lich King who ordered Vol'jin to make Sylvanas Warchief, and why Vol'jin spirit can't remember. As seen on previous texts.

    Is it just me or does that new Lor’themar look like he’s dead, laid down at some sort of funeral with his eyes closed and hair up like that?
