Make a crafted one in a pinch?

Trust me when I say it will be so damned anti-climatic when it does drop.
"Off of a fucking rat!?"
They went waaaay too overboard with the pure rng drops. The whole impetus behind the move away from purely deterministic drops (I farm x to eventually get y) so players could have something exciting occur while doing any activity in the game has been anything but that in my experience.

Took me like 20 scenarios I think. Now I just have 60+ keys in my bank. It's actually decent gold for a quick run but CBF.
The Outlaw one will never drop for me.
Fine with me, 40 is plenty to get from 0-concordance quickly enough, and anything past concordance is worthless and the more they convince players not to try for it the better. Also lets me stop having to play the annoying metagame of "well I have a new AK finishing in X days so I won't pick up Y until then" sooner.

Got VP pinnacle mount finally. Yay.
I look forward to AK 50 in 7.3.
If that was the only thing they wanted to do there's a really easy way to design that. But they want you to still feel like you should be chasing something, so they don't. All about dat engagement.
Not that I care all that much. I haven't bothered with AP since we knew how little progress 7.1.5 traits carried over to 7.2. I probably should have at least done the healing traits quest before healing M+ this week though.

Yeah. My Druid is my main, I've played more time on her than all of my other characters combined. I finally started focusing on her and getting geared up to play my old Balance spec. Xoni's Caress in Resto spec off an LFR boss, ok no big deal. Then Cinidaria's Symbiote off another LFR boss and Prydaz opening a Legionfall Container. Is it wrong to say that those two really should be tank spec only? At least Prydaz will increase my DPS a bit by giving me a bit more leeway to stand in the poo, but the only use I've gotten out of Cinidaria was speed-running dungeons past the healer's range, which is the only time the mobs are over 90% to get the healing.
And it really couldn't have been less exciting. I think if they gave you a countdown or something to let you know something good was about to happen, then at least it gets your anticipation going. You also get that in Diablo if you haven't memorized the icons for all the items yet, and then you still have to uncover them to see how they rolled. In WoW the legendaries are just emblazoned all over your screen instantly and you only process it after the fact.

Regarding the "Wyrmtongue Caches" quest. When I'm on an alt who's not on the quest I see chests, but when I'm on my main (same server) who is on the quest they're not appearing for him.
I'll log off by a chest, go there on my main and it's missing, log back on to alt and it's there. Phasing fucking up? Stealth conspiracy nerf? Why is this questline so fuckin' awkward?

Fair enough. I think we'll be extending till we get Eli & Gul'dan.
Gonna be cutting really close before ToS hits.
Yeah, haven't bothered with AP after obtaining Concordance.
More time to work on alts!
You got put onto a different 'shard' most likely.
Blizzard really fucked that up this expansion too.

Yeah, that elemental mount is really nice. It will be the second one I go after.
I still need to get the 10 chests. It's an absolutely absurd quest to include as part of this.
It seems the last 3-4 quests have all been things you would do as an intro to the broken shore.
Also:
Super frustrated I didn't get Agatha down this week. I got some really solid pulls in on her a couple sub-10% pulls. But then my pulls just seem to get worse and worse. I could honestly tell within the first 10 seconds of the fight if it was going to be a good attempt or not. Basically the way that the imps spawn underneath her - sometimes my CL would hit all of them, or one or two would be out of range of the chain. If the latter ever happened it was guaranteed to be a shit pull.

As usual, I'll do it on my druid and then never actually use the mount. Nothing new
Yeah, I love how unique it is. I'll get them at basically the same on my shaman and DK. The frost DK one isn't nearly as unique as the shaman ones, but I like how it looks.
That reminds me of how crazy Legion's catch up mechanics are for gearing. I started playing my DK only a few months ago and he's already 904, two item levels ahead of my shaman who I started playing at Legion's launch.
:lol yeah I can see why mounts would feel a bit pointless for druids.

It's a replacement for flight form or at least hast the option to replace flight form iirc.

I stopped using this for a lot of my characters as it isn't character specific. I know it's sort of stupid, but I like using certain ones for certain characters.
For instance, my trolls look terrible on mounts that look fine for my dwarfs and goblins.

God damn, getting the prot warrior hidden skin is a pain in the fucking ass. it's not even a bad one, it just feels stupid.
Oh shit, that's pretty cool then.
Oh, the extinct Great Passenger Owl. I see. That passenger better be a Demon Hunter or an engineer with the way I treat flight form, or it's going to be splat city.

I'm still confused on how this works. Will it be listed in the mount tab and count as a "+1," or what? A few months ago Blizzard mentioned that the player has to go to Moonglade and activate or deactivate it but now I saw a topic on the druid forum with people mentioning it's nothing more than a glyph that you apply.
If it's a glyph, then I'm going to need 4 of them for all of the specs. They don't carry over from spec to spec. My Balance spec has the Sentinel Owl, but the other specs still have the old troll bat. That's pretty weak sauce.

It's not a glyph. There are NPCs in Moonglade and Dreamgrove to toggle it on and off. Sentinel glyph takes priority apparently and overwrites it for those specs, so you'd have to disable Sentinel to use the new one.
It's also apparently account wide if you have extra druids by going to the toggle person in Moonglade.
You talking about the one in the cave where you have to check it each day for a "whisper"'? Been 2 weeks for me of nothing and wondering if I did something wrong. Hell the Fury hiddeb artifact is ridiculous as well as you need to kill 2 specific world bosses, considering my warrior alt hit 110 2 weeks ago and one od the bosses being 3 weeks ago, I'm gonna be waiting a loooong damn time before I ever see it.
It's so strange how hard these warrior hidden artifacts are to get compared to my Main which is a Shaman, one artifact was a drop I got on like my 3rd heroic run (Restro) abd another was just a simple drop off Floatsam world boss
My new flight form is almost there can't wait! 2 more weeks of waiting...
It's Reyn Time!

Fuuuuuuuuuuuck yeah baby:
And I've only run this place like <10 times.
Congrats, that one dropped for me really (comparatively) quickly too. Still grinding away at Horridon though
My mount runs are currently Vaults for Elegon, Throne for Horridon and Dragon Soul for Experiment 12-B, on six characters each week, sometimes a dozen characters for Dragon Soul. It's getting me down now, haven't had a raid drop a mount in about six months. Even sharing my own lockout each week so I can skip right to the bosses I need, listening to the roleplay before Ultraxion is driving me insane.
So someone in my M+ group finally rolled a tank alt, and I've been thinking about messing around with a DPS alt for a change of pace from tanking. Anyone have suggestions on a DPS class that isn't super legendary or raid set/trinket dependent (like DH with the ring, or fury war with Draught/CoS respectively) and is also actually fun to play? Don't have a ton of experience on DPS classes this expansion. The only class that's out of the question is Druid, since I already have two of those hah, not gonna level a 3rd.
Elemental Shaman are pretty simple gameplay in M+ groups and in my opinion aren't entirely too dependent on legendaries, especially when it comes to M+ content. There's a few very nice legendaries but aren't make or break your DPS type.

Frost DKs are amazing....even without legendaries, even without high ilevel, even without proper talents I'm still top DPS. Even when I'm not our class is so much fun to play and feels strong.
Did a series of 5 timewalking dungeons with the same group, and the rogue in the group outdamaged everyone else so much it wasn't funny. I was expecting the rogue to be wearing all mythic stuff, instead the mythic items were just a few (trinkets mostly), most stuff was, apart from the mop leg cloak, the 2 legion legs and the Khadgar ring (not the leg one, the one before the ring becomes legendary), pretty much old items, as well as old set items. Got me thinking if old sets work when doing tw stuff or the bonus effect stays inactive. In case the bonus effect doesn't work, what would be the upside of using an old set vs using the current set? The sockets?
Mostly because of the sockets.
I understand why Blizzard disabled old sets, but at the same time it was kind of fun to throw those things on.
What talents are you rolling with? I feel like I'm doing something wrong on my frost DK.

Get all the Vengeance ones.
I was used to playing tank classes in previous expansions, mostly bear tank. I've had a blast playing Enhancement Shaman, but be forewarned that it sucks until you get some gear. You're like a Rogue only with no get out of jail free cards. But, you get gear so fast now that it doesn't really matter. In 2 days at cap you can be more powerful than I was after 2 months.
