***World of Warcraft : Warlords of Draenor***

Mid level tanking is utterly broken right now. My level 59 fully heirloomed character couldn't tank Sunken Temple without mutliple wipes and me running out of mana several times. Blizzard seems to want a shift back to a more tactical play-style but I fear they've created a casual monster that will take a lot of hard work to turn around. Players just aren't used to the vanilla play-style anymore.

Whilst people will eventually come around I fear it's the tanks and healers that will suffer the wrath of others caused by multiple wipes until people get used to this new way of playing - making life miserable for them in the process.

Not enjoyable at all at the moment, even though it's only hours into this patch.

Might mean the complete abandonment of the LFG tool and making premades again. I've hated the pull 1201920192 packs and AoE everything playstyle that MoP has brought.

It's generated a breed of absolute idiots who run around as healers and DPS, pulling extra mobs to the tank, tanking themselves and generally just being scrubs.
 
Armor is more aimed at the secondary stats in Warlords.

Quite near the top there just under Armor, the secondary stats remain the same when you change spec, but the primary changes. Allowing me to switch from Feral to Balance, without having a bag full of 2nd gear. Yes the Secondary stats might not be as good for one as the other, but the baseline of stats is there.

Oh my, I didn't know about that. That's actually really really nice.
 
Well I finally got logged in successfully and managed to do some of the new quests in the Blasted Lands. But now I gotta go to bed. Guess I'll finish tomorrow.
 
ah im in and its working fine. few bugs here n there. but ive got mates who keep getting disconnected all the time. coming off though. Once you do the quests and UBRS...its just the same, but better looking. Nice seeing it so busy though!
 
I have to say I'm quite impressed by the new character models, especially my NE female rogue, looks much better. Feels a bit odd having some blank spaces on my bars due to the ability prune.

Only think I'm not 100% keen on is the change to the AA settings, has anybody had a go at forcing it through the catalyst control center?
 
I just solo'ed 25-man Naxx, was an absolute breeze apart from Patchwerk (but that's only because I didn't realise you need to clear out the area before taking him on). Oh, and any acid on the floor seems to be pre-squish. Took me down from 67,000 to 6000 in one shot :p

Now have the shoulders, chest and legs of Valorous Cryptstalker. Such a good looking armour set, possibly my favourite hunter raid set there is. Definately transmog material as the WoD stuff looks a bit pap.
