Battle for Azeroth Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Zorish]

about DK i am more interested in this thing https://media-azeroth.cursecdn.com/d...night_d_01.jpg
*in hope* maybe... it's legendary from Bwonsamdi? *naive mode off* or atleast some piece of lore

[Syegfryed]

Maybe blizzard will give the dark irons something cool? Like shaman totems that drill out of the ground instead of the normal placement animation?

dark iron are not tagged as shaman until now

[Phunkle]

This is exactly what they intended, though. Going away from the need to design a class-based set for every raid, and instead based on the location. If you prefer something that just screams "Paladin/DK/DH", then transmog

What was intended was to get rid of set items that interfere with your gearing process, because you were locked to certain items in order to maintain set bonus. Not having to create class specific sets was just a side effect.

"just transmog" is not really the most compelling solution to that.

Yeah, I prefer this new set design method as it cuts down on wasted time for me going after shit on alts of the same armor type. Some people just get too spoiled with what we have and expect more of the same without change, ever. There are plenty class sets as is, covering many themes. Mix em with the new shit and have fun.

[Nathanyel]

Thinking about it, this would also make it marginally easier to introduce new classes.

[Venziir]

And they already suffer from this "no class specific sets" theme - Some of these sets simply don't work on some classes. Horde Warfront cloth on Warlock? Great. Horde Warfront cloth on Priest? Not so much.

Can't wait to see Demon Hunters and Death Knights buried beneath troll armor sets, because the raid theme is apparently more fitting for a set than a class theme.

Plenty of tiers have been "raid inspired" and not "class inspired". Don't see the difference. Besides, very often, when the set is "class inspired" it seems overly odd, for example all the ToS sets, why would a bunch of nagas, ghosts and demons drop items made out of Gronn bones?

Selective quote confirms Shandris being killed and raised as a Dark Ranger :P 

Is that true? And if so, where can I see it?

[Nathanyel]

Haha, just a joke

The actual comment (regarding BfA Followers/Champions) was:

The only ones that shoud be changed are John. and Voss, to Shandris and Valorana or Belmont preferably, or whoever else.

meaning "John to Shandris, and Voss to Velonara or Belmont"

TBF, they should also remove class restrictions from old sets. Lookalike sets are easily obtainable, they, however, often miss one piece because Blizz didn't want to make full lookalike sets available to other classes.

The only reason why it wasn't done was some old PvP-related bullshit that they didn't want to cause confusion by having paladins who looked like DKs in BGs/arenas/etc. Class identity and shit, but it's no longer a part of their gear design philosophy.

But obv it won't happen. Zugsworth, the guy in charge of tmog system, is in favour of heavy restrictions.

[DeicideUH]

It's interesting that the mag'har totems have the Old Horde symbol, instead of the Iron Horde one. Blizzard keeps sending mixed signs of where these orcs are coming from...

Or they don't care about such minor details, however, they fixed the joke that made some people believe that these orcs could be from MU Outland.

Hmeaning "John to Shandris, and Voss to Velonara or Belmont"

Is it bad that whenever i hear Belmont, i think Vampirekiller and Dracula?

[Deleted]

You're just upset that Blizz is not giving you this one little thing. You already got druids and shamans. DI get Shaman and Paladin. All other classes are probably going to be the Same.

?
You already got paladins. You dont need more of the Horde class. And druids have nothing to do with this.

- - - Updated - - -

Nothing. Horde has not lost a thing since Cataclysm (and veen in Cata they had major gains).

Because they had less from the begginig, equalizing after a disparity is not disparity.

While we're at it, make old Elite Arena sets available again.

[Stiven]

Idk why wowhead hasn't found these yet but some other person datamined these hairstyles and beards for the mag'har from the last build https://twitter.com/handclaw/status/970419162911858688 , so they do get new hair styles and beards idk why wowhead showed the original orc beards/hairs in their post today.

Why would they use the Iron Horde symbol?
