This is really strange, it takes 2 seconds to check their health, lol.

No prot pala nerfs in pvp... It is annoying af to wait to get nerfed but on the other hand... Poor rogues and warriors in arenas "OP" they do nothing but run from Justice!

Yeahh...we shouldnt see nerfs on things that have zero presence in the top 500. Meanwhile ww,rogue, and war make up 80% of the top 500 with 3 specs. Learn to target the prot, they are not viable if you know their abilities(40% more dmg taken then ret in a stun).

I mean I am a prot paladin.. my dmg is insane

[LordVargK]

Why are corrupted cloudfeathers no longer skinnable? Can somebody enlighten me what was the reason for this?

[LemonDemonGirl]

De Other Side
-Increased the time to complete the dungeon by 2 minutes on Mythic Keystone difficulty.

Well, thank Bwonsamdi! Mueh'zala was already hard af to beat

[cparle87]

Probably heavily botted by skinning bots. They did it to a few other skinnables in Bastion, like the infinitely respawning flying critters and the ones where you go to the phalanx training.

Vanndar has been working out!

You're not touching any real dps classes dmg.
A 200ilvl prot can MAX hit a 9k shield with full buffs and 5stack legendary. Thats only 20% of his own health on a 2min cd. Spam hammer? Woo 1-3k.

Meanwhile disc dots hit as hard as hammer and a restoration shaman lava hits for 6k often unbuffed. You're just low rating and enemy damage is low.

I am not ofc but I just go around and 3vs1 people if there is no healer. Against double dps comp in arenas those - boys go down.

[GMZohar1]

Damn you Blizz changing Vanndars Health.. You always give us Horde advantages in PvP why you make this change for??

[Exeris]

Checked the auction house but there is no one for sale atm .

Prot is just a tankier ret paladin, you're just at low rating or fighting undergeared/stupid people, prot is a non issue, if anything their burst was better in BFA

Still no Legion soloing fix...

I've seen many people talking about legion soloing and i dont understand the issue. I did a few legion raids on my feral (EN for the shoulder xmog, and NH for the mount, doggies in Antorus for mount) and was able to solo np. EN was super easy and much faster than BFA. NHfelt about the same (in terms of speed) but in BFA i couldn't get illidan at the end and now i can, killed the dogs (barely) but i never tried in BFA so i can't compare.

So what is the issue that people are having? i feel like i hit the old raid bosses like a truck and receive an appropriate amount of damage it doesn't seem broken to me.

Okay. Now go solo mythic Tomb or Antorus and report back. And the entire point is that soloing any Legion content should now be effortless, not "about the same" or leaving you "barely" able to down a boss from content two expansions old. Blizzard implemented a system to let players deal massively increased damage in old content when they significantly outlevel it (it was +11 levels before the squish), which is still in the game and which Legion was due to roll into with Shadowlands. We should be walking in and destroying Legion raid bosses in seconds, just like we could walk in an destroy WoD raid bosses in seconds during BfA. Instead it's still a massive struggle and often outright impossible, especially for people not playing an easy mode hybrid class with infinite self-healing. It is broken, and Blizzard refuse to even acknowledge the problem, much less fix it.

Let's the honest ....the expac is pretty much trash.....
