Human rep bonus makes a huge difference with so many things being gated behind rep. It's like walking around with a permanent Darkmoon Faire top hat.

Human is by far the best race this xpac because of rep gain, yes.
Paragon rep makes it so that I would probably only main a human

Humans are the worse tho so.
This could be returning hype talking, and im only like 1 week into my resub (well plus the free week they gave me) but I could totally see myself level my non 110s just to do this mount quest. Did they make the order hall campaign faster btw?

Yeah, the follower mission part got shorter times now. I believe 2 hours missions (which can be shortened to 1 hour) for the first tranche and 8 hours missions (which can be shortened to 4 hours unless you're a mage, in which case you're rekt'd because you don't have access to a follower with the right counter until after getting those missions done) for the second tranche.
Those missions might have been shortened further though, not sure.
I'm so fucking sick of achievements popping up everytime I fart and when I fart again at the same spot on another character.
And people in guildchat always spamming "gg!" regardless of what it was. Why even bother. Fuck this. I want an option to disable achievements pop ups and more importantly, kill this atrocious idea of notifying everyone in your guild everytime you get one

I was in a guild for a short time over a year ago and one of the reasons I left was because of that. What was even more annoying is that there were people who got upset if you didn't acknowledge their "grats" or whatever it is they would say.
As someone who also returned and have been leveling characters up, they're all 1 hour missions now.
sweet, makes the prospect of lvling my remaining 100s mroe appealing. You also dont need that pillars of creation bullshit these days right? that doesnt actually affect anything in the end game, the game / story just assumes you did it right?
oh and Priest mount got
oh awesome it changes tints depending on your spec... as they all fucking should. WTF blizzard?Good to know, I have to go through it on my Warrior so the shorter the better.

The only thing alts need is the class specific questline for the 3rd relic slot. It usually is under the title Rogue Campaign or Death Knight Campaign, etc.

I am still waiting for a Druid BE, one day, one day.
I'd settle for a Goblin or Pandaren one.

Yeah, but on my alts I'm usually 110 before I finish it and running off to gear up using WQs. I always forget that I have to go back and finish the third slot.

Is there anyway to transfer nethershards to an alt or buy nethshard equips and transfer to an alt?

Pally requires the Exodar / Light's Heart scenario, if you skipped that like a sane person.
son of a bitch.
Also, that feel when you want to try out other specs and your artifacts dont have relics, or have random low ass relics ;_;

yeah right. you need ilvl 900 followers for that. that takes forever
man fuck this exodar lights heart bullshit
edit: heh solo'ed the 3 rare elites as demonology, that actually felt pretty good. Interesting, the defeat a invasion quest doesnt seem to be part of the mount questline, because I still havent done it and im already up to the garrison mission part, which is the second to last, after its 100 demons on BS and then its the actual mount quest.

One shotted every boss in Heroic Tomb but Maiden who took two.
Then we wiped 13 times on KJ with one 1% wipe. I hate that darkness phase and the third phase is brutal

Yeah Broken Shore, it sucks
Mostly enjoying my time leveling in Northrend right now. It got a bit boring but I found a tower in Dragonblight with a bunch of other players talking to a Gnome called Chromie and a shit ton of dragons everywhere (who doesn't love dragons?). I really enjoyed questing there, even did a quest where a future version of me appeared -- very cool.
I also installed my first couple of Addons (please recommend me some more if you'd like). I got Bagnon, which makes my bags all merge into on window - which I love. AutoTurnIn but I'm only using it for boring questing zones and dungeons to get through quickly, I've actually turned it off right now for where I'm questing, I like and want to read the quests. Rarity which shows me mounts and pets that I can get in my zone, this is mostly a thing I've added for when I'm higher level. And then I also added an addon that shows me numbers on my cool downs which is just handy for me. None of these drastically change the game in anyway which is why I liked them, Bagnon being the only interface changing one and is just way better than half my screen been filled with separate bags in my opinion.

At least we can fly on the shore!
Speaking of flying I still find it weird how certain zones are still no-fly once their time in the spotlight faded (i.e. they are no longer current content).
Lock mount done. All the mounts shall belong to me!
edit: son of a BITCH. Mount not done because one of the steps is a item from a legion assault scenario boss, and I JUST did the one up right now earlier lol >_<
Also got to 110 on the pali... any tips for gearing him up quickly, bar buying crafted gear? Any trick quests that give a high lvl item or something? Seeing those 805 world quest rewards is a bummer.
yeah because im getting into one of those with my 792 Pali

BT timewalking
apparently heroics are 845 base now too?
ty guys, will do after i finish up my art quests I guess
edit: heh timewalking gear really makes the whole color system seem meaningless, got 865 boots from it, and its...well blue

Heroics are 845 base yeah but there's no real requirements for timewalking q'ing so if you ding 110 in a TW week it's probably where you should focus.
Half the time gearing to be able to q for heroics I'll end up surpassing them entirely (via dauntless, basic mythic, LFR, etc) and have barely done heroics at all since the bump.

I was inspecting a Rogue who was doing some awesome DPS in the group and I saw a piece of her set was Relinquished. Can Relinquished gear also turn into set pieces?!
Also, decided to make my DH an Alchemist, since my other Alchemist is on the account without Legion. I'm really hating how long this questline is going on and on before I can even start getting some real recipes.

As a person that enjoys questing and leveling up alts, it's pretty sad that the point of professions now are to level up professions, and not to get any sort of use out of them during the process. Crafting in games is usually tedious, but I don't think I've ever seen such a useless crafting system in a game.

Yes. I assume they can't turn into the current tier, but they can definitely turn into the previous tier.
Yeah, it looks really really good. I could consider buying it too if it was a store mount.

In legendary blogging news I got Salsabim's on my monk last night, which is one of two I want so that was a bit of a relief.
And then it was canceled out this morning by getting Valeera on my rogue. Four left in Outlaw, 3/4 I would equip.
I think my fun rankings would go 1) Druid / Brew, 2) DK, 3) DH, 4) Warrior, (not 110), 5) Getting run over by a ca,r 6) Paladin.

I really don't know why they insist on making crafting so shitty and tertiary to the game. With ALL the ways they add to acquire relatively amazing in a decently easy manner, it's just terrible that crafting is such a roundabout way to get the same junk without any other benefit.

It's timewalking...it's scaling everyone down anyway, you could do it on a level 80 character and be just as useful.

1) ehrm? do you play demo? your pets last very little, and when you move you don't generate shards (or at most random shard via legionwrath) and you're not casting more demon... demonology damage works on having a STEADY amount of demons and has a terrible ramp up..
2) agreed, but you're a fracry from "pure aoe" build.. the only way for you to aoe properly is that you have to take the talent where gul'dan applies doom, you have to pop the beholder like demon and you have to spam legionwrath and alternate the hog... so much to do whereas most spec use one button, you have a long setup...
4) of course for the felguard it's easy, i'm talking about the other pets
5) yeah but again, instead of having on demand damage on acceptable cd, you have ONE burst (depending on the number of demon) on a longish cd
Well, I just hit 80 and jumped into my first Cata dungeon -- holy shit difficulty curve much? I mean they look beautiful but the enemies are doing much higher damage and are using new attacks such as spawning poison under players who aren't tanking... very interesting. I also think we just had a shitty tank on that dungeon as he died a few to many times but then again that could have been a bad healer too. Anyway... back to underwater questing I go!
Which dungeon was it? sounds like Throne of the Tides perhaps. It's not that the older dungeons don't have mechanics, it's that they've been neutered so many times that you just ignore them during levelling, where Cata is....I wouldn't say HARD but it's tuned a little closer to where you can't just act like nothing does anything lol. Most groups should still be totally fine though, since most people levelling already know all of these dungeons, so if you got a bad group I'd consider it the anomaly.
Normal/levelling dungeons should be LARGELY at the point that you can kind of mess a mechanic up and learn from it without dying or wiping, like standing in that poison for a tick won't kill you and then you learned that it could happen and improved etc.
EDIT: Oh I forgot, RIGHT at each level jump it tends to be harder too since people who are getting in at like, 80 for example, don't have higher stats from gear yet most likely, like an 80 tank vs an 81 tank is probably half as survivable unless they've tweaked heirloomks since the last time I levelled.
The ramp is bad if you have to start from zero, but you can miss a GCD or two moving it doesn't hurt that much. Especially if you have AOE going since you can channel Demonwrath while moving. After living for it for a while it just feels the same as Affliction ramp. Destruction has less ramp, but it is punished a lot worse by having to miss even one cast.
Hand of Doom is all you need. The Darkglare eyeball isn't worth taking, and the shard return from Soul Conduit is way better in any situation. If you have 4+ targets stacked up, you can pre-cast Demonic Empowerment, /petattack, alternate between Demonwrath and Hand of Gul'dan twice then use Demonic Empowerment again and just repeat. Use Dreadstalkers if you get a Demonic Calling proc. If you need even more cleave then use your big cooldowns, that's what they're for and I don't shy away from using them on trash.
It was Throne of the Tides, I really enjoyed the final boss actually - really cool dungeon and looked amazing. I can't remember dying in any dungeon before now and this was the first time an entire team wiped, which I think was down to a slow and poor Tank. I'm going to level a little more in Vashj'ir before queuing again anyway.
