Patch Notes
Coming Soon

Don’t Forget: Update Your Drivers!
To make the most of Battle for Azeroth and avoid potential issues, it’s important to update to the latest DirectX 12 drivers. Please note that AMD and Intel GPUs will default to DX12, while NVIDIA drivers will remain at DX11 with the option to update at a later time.

There’s more to come in the days ahead, and it won’t be long until the Battle for Azeroth expansion launches in the Americas, Europe, Taiwan, Korea, and Australia/New Zealand simultaneously on August 14*. For more information on when the expansion goes live in your region visit our announcement post.

Poggers boys and gals

[The Stormbringer]

Fuck, I didn't know they were removing First Aid. Why?

[Onikaroshi]

Fuck, I didn't know they were removing First Aid. Why?

Because it's useless apparently.

[Silverforgerer]

Fuck, I didn't know they were removing First Aid. Why?

It's getting baked into tailoring.

[javierdsv]

Guys, this will be the true cataclysm. Deathwing was nothing compared to it.

[rhorle]

Fuck, I didn't know they were removing First Aid. Why?

As a stand alone profession it makes no sense. Bandages still exist as part of other professions in BfA. This why a lot of people were farming the field medic achievement and title. It goes away with 8.0 as well. Still time to farm those quest drops.

[Eleccybubb]

Fuck, I didn't know they were removing First Aid. Why?

To be fair it makes more sense with it being tossed into tailoring. I mean they use cloth. Might as well use that cloth to make bandages too.

Although as a lone profession it didn't have much worth anymore sadly.

"many of those traits have been baked into your class or spec by default" hahahaha

[zrankfappa]

having only played a couple hours on beta, is the entire expansion a series of scenarios?

Not really, there are still dungeons, raids, and world quests like legion

[Cæli]

good luck those still stuck in the mage towers, still a week end full of attempts

Well would you rather them not do so and have people complain more about losing something as huge as this?

As long as I get to keep a couple of my Resto ones I'm happy. Although we finally get fucking Earth Shield back at long last so I'm more than happy.

But, they have? I don't know what's funny. Have you looked at your artifact? 90% of it just spell x does more crit, spell x does more damage, spell x heals slightly more. Etc. The only thing we really lose with artifact are the gold traits and while they were fun, they aren't gamebreaking dps loss especially considering we were buffed in other areas to compensate (at level 120 with azerite gear and heart of azeroth)

I still got 10 chars to do in full gearing mode till sunday morning then 3-4 chars a day till patch day. Bit insane cause i decide to do em only last week but so far got 2 chars done in 5 hours.

[Nnyco]
