Yeah me too. I know that usually after a launch, they sometimes put in artificial queues to ensure realm stability, so perhaps that's what they did and now they've cleared them?

I hope this is the case, moved over to Silvermoon last night.

Nice, are you Alliance or Horde? If you're Alliance, give me a shout if you fancy doing anything. I normally do BGs at max level and some dungeons, but I am still only level 101 at the moment so I don't know what I'll be doing at 110 until I get there!

Legion looks pretty but I got bored of the last WoW expansion, does this change much?

Also found being a shaman sucked for DPS at the time

Ayahuasca · 7 Sep 2016 at 13:32

It's far better this time around, as long as you aren't one of those who plays 14 hours a day there's plenty to do every time you log in.

I got this legendary last night from a heroic dungeon boss:

Not great for DPS but it's a decent self heal and had almost 1000 more agility than my previous helm.

What's wrong with the dps or are you melee hunter?

Survival is way ahead and BM slightly ahead of MM for single target atm, MM isn't even that high up the rankings for 3 targets either.

I remember MM being weak at the start of WoD though.

You want to be looking at the Icy-Veins guides instead of Noxxic.

Noxxic has time and time again proven to provide misinformation.

Ayahuasca · 7 Sep 2016 at 15:00

I can't see a rankings list on icy veins, I do use that for the class guides though.

Gee · 7 Sep 2016 at 15:07

Well I'd take those DPS rankings on Noxxic with a giant pinch of salt. I'll stick to MM.

Drei · 7 Sep 2016 at 15:09

damn didn't know they dropped legendary stuff in dungeons now

I'm around 833 ilvl atm and they don't seem to be far off, our single target is crap unless you get lucky and proc all the time.

More targets it's a bit better but still not fantastic, most boss encounters in the dungeons are single target.

No doubt you'll see all the top Hunters switch to MM when the raids are released. Everyone is playing BM now as they're all running Mythic dungeons to get gear.

You only need to read Azortharian's Hunter guide on Icy Veins to see that MM is the best spec.

Well I prefer to see real world boss kills to simcraft. But I doubt that take into account you may have more down time being melee.

Also for me, a melee spec I don't count it as it's not ranged which is what my main spec roll will be in raiding, I'll only go melee if the encounter requires it, I suspect this will be rare as my weapon wouldn't be the same lvl for some time.

Given the time it will take up upgrade weapons I wouldn't pick a spec just based on estimated DPS as this can change, but on what spec you prefer to play on.

Couldn't have said this better myself.

Ayahuasca · 7 Sep 2016 at 15:41

Oh I much prefer MM over the other specs and when it comes to raiding it will no doubt be better.

I know once we have the set items and 2 equipable legendaries (3 eventually I believe) the spec will likely play very, very well and won't be as reliant on RNG.

This. For me MM is the playstyle I always wanted hunter to be when I first played in TBC (first ever character which I retired in early Wrath). Pet management always seemed a bit clumsy, AoE shots were ridiculously naff (remember the old volley?)

Now MM is an awesome, lonewolf, powerful slow shots in between bursts of rapid fire.

Of course if you're not careful, you'll pull a whole dungeon room but we need something like that without a pet to accidentally do it with!

I felt so inferior as a Hunter in BWL/AQ40 back in Vanilla with the old Volley.

i'v only played Beast master at the moment, i want to switch to MM and try it but don't fancy having to gain all of that artifact power again :/

Squink · 7 Sep 2016 at 19:14

Is this expansion looking good? I'm sure I could dig out some reviews but I know what they'll say, so would prefer some personal opinions.

I feel the same tugging every new expansion but only played the last one for a month, even though a lot of people were saying it was great at the time. I didn't like garrisons at all with the 'gotta log in or fall behind' mentality behind them. Having said that, I don't have vast amounts of time, so probably couldn't play loads even if it was great.
