[Dartz1979]

I like the changes my demon hunter will be good again to tank.

[Tyrilion]

I like the changes my demon hunter will be good again to tank.

Defo helps with the lack of cds but doesnt help with gaps in our mit

[Gatto]

So, lightning lasso will be available for all shaman specs?

nvm, they removed the elemental tag from the tooltip but the fix is still under elemental.

[ThiagoTorres]

8.2 is late like 6 months

[FelPlague]

8.2 is late like 6 months

8.1 only came out 7 months ago and the raid 6 months ago....

[dranlord]

8.1 only came out 7 months ago and the raid 6 months ago....

he is been sarcastic about the lack of content of 8.1 compare to 8.2

[Justpassing]

8.1 only came out 7 months ago and the raid 6 months ago....

He meant "8.2" was long overdue.

[FelPlague]

he is been sarcastic about the lack of content of 8.1 compare to 8.2

8.1 had a fair bit of content though, not enough t o last this long, but if 8.2 came out a month ago it would be fine.

[sch1ntus]

These punch cards are inventive, for sure.

But I can't help but compare them to the old meta gems, like: Thundering Skyfire Diamond.
So if we had newer versions of those + the new punch cards, it would be amazing.

[iamthedevil]

These punch cards are inventive, for sure.

But I can't help but compare them to the old meta gems, like: Thundering Skyfire Diamond.
So if we had newer versions of those + the new punch cards, it would be amazing.

I wouldn't say they are inventive. Like you pointed out, they are the original gem system stuffed into an item. The entire gem system should still be this way.

[Queen of Hamsters]

If I were a labrador, I'd be wagging my tail like crazy every time there's a sliver of news.
Then slowly have the wagging fade as there's still no date given... T.T

[Dartz1979]

Release date won't be too close to first week of july thats final fantasy 14's expansion launch so im gonna say maybe first week of august.

[FelPlague]

I wouldn't say they are inventive. Like you pointed out, they are the original gem system stuffed into an item. The entire gem system should still be this way.

i dont think we have ever had gems that deal damage, increase breatrhing, allow you to hack mechs, allow you to loot extra items... etc.
salso meta were 1 gem, and you required a certin amount of other colours.
these are 3 slots, with just color requires.

[ShimmerSwirl]

I don't think I realized until today how dead MMOC is. 14 comments. Damn.

[sch1ntus]

Release date won't be too close to first week of july thats final fantasy 14's expansion launch so im gonna say maybe first week of august.

Patch 8.2 (a minor, nevertheless) really breaks the record of longest development period...
