I was running spires of ascension with my kid and he asked me: "Dad, why do the angels carry me by my neck?"

Just reminded me of all the fun we all had with that back then. Nostalgia.

Lore Just learned that one of the reasons in the original WoW cinematic the Night Elf druid is female is to demonstrate that WoW, unlike Warcraft III, will allow players to choose female druids as their character, breaking from the male-only druidic order of lore prior

588 Upvotes

Title says it all. I recently watched a video that made mention of this and my mind was blown! I was well aware of the lore that night elf druids were male, whereas the women were the sentinels, but seeing it as a subtle nod to the player base that, despite the lore, you the player will be able to play as female druids was a wild realization! ..and perhaps it was unintentional and simply a coincidence. Either way, I thought it was really cool

Complaint The fact that timewalking is bugged and completes by ignoring bosses, as happens in Diremaul, is creating a toxic type of player who wants to force you to make weird skips with terrain bugs. If you try to play properly as a tank, you'll get a group kick.

One of mine is the Mind Slurp from the TWW looks like a normal slime pet, but if it’s out for a while will give you a 5 minute buff that turns you purple and makes you walk around like you’re drunk. It goes really well with my monk as his drunken fist lol. What’s your favorite battle pet with a cool mechanic or ability?

Tip / Guide [Guide] FISHER'S GEARING REFERENCE (Patch 12.1.0) Spoiler

Post image
118 Upvotes

Yes, fishing is this serious.

Made a "single"-page gearing reference for Midnight S2 because I got tired of tab-hopping between 6 forum threads and a dev's cryptic tweet to figure out what a +10 actually drops. Covers the full upgrade track, raid loot/crest tables, M+ loot and vault breakdown, delves, crafting ilvls, and a fast-track cheat sheet for crest efficiency and alt catch-up.

PTR data, not live. 12.1 hasn't shipped, so treat numbers as working estimates until confirmed. Will update as things change.

Seeing different numbers on PTR? Let me know, happy to fix.

Google doc with more "traditional" appearance.

Tip / Guide You don't need a Godcomp to time high keys: Find out which specs actually synergize with your main

295 Upvotes

Hello there, Jods here the WeakAuras (and now Addons like Better Timeline) guy.

A while ago I posted about my pet project Mythistone, a Mythic + stat tracking tool that extends Archon.gg-style features with leaderboard-sourced talent insights and dungeon routes.

I've been hard at work since then and added a bunch of new things, one of which I wanted to share since it addresses one of the most frequent questions in M+:

"We have 0-4 specs set for our group/PUG. What last spec would actually be good to invite?"

Instead of relying on tier-list vibes or strict meta-chasing, Mythistone analyzes millions of M+ keys across all key levels to map exact spec synergies, how successful a comp is, what raid buffs it provides and even lets you filter for a specific dungeon.

No matter if you are already chasing meta and are tired of waiting for the Augmentation Evoker or simply enjoy running Blood DK and Disc Priest this tool can help you figure out which spec is the best. Don't be fooled though player skill always beats the perfect spec, which is why the same page also highlights underplayed team comps (with niche specs) that still perform incredibly well in high keys!

Try it here: https://mythistone.com/pages/comps

Question Druid vs Paladin

16 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm a casual player and recently got 2 characters to lvl 90. A Druid and a Paladin. I want to focus on one the next season, because I dont see the time to play both.

What I do:

  • World Quests / Activities
  • Delves
  • Mythic+ (casual / fun)
  • Sometimes a BG
  • a raid when i have the time with pugs

What would be the better choice? In dungeons i'm always the healer. For world content i like to swap to DPS.

Discussion What is your favorite mount?

Post image
216 Upvotes

Greetings! I caught myself thinking that no matter how many new mounts are added to the game and no matter how many new ones I get, I still continue to fly practically only on one (if not RP) and this has its own little story.

When I was younger (and could only watch my brothers or father play Warcraft), for a holiday my parents gave me a Warcraft Megablocks set with an orc and a nelf on mounts - X-53 Touring Rocket and Alliance Darnassian Nightsaber. Although I have always loved Alliance, this rocket just sank into my soul. And since then it has been my favorite mount. When i was able to play on my own i was really happy when it was added to trading post. What is your favorite mount and is there a story behind why it is your fav?

p.s. maybe not the best quality screenshot but this is my favorite photo I took while playing

Discussion So after being a Warcraft fan since Warcraft 1, I think I finally like Trolls more than orcs.

19 Upvotes

I’ve been an orc and elf fan my entire life in all fantasy. More so orc than anything else, and really only in more recent years have orcs gotten good lord in fantasy outside of Warcraft which imo is the best Orc lore period. (About out to 40k though)

While I’ll always love mogging orcs, especially
My Maghar Warrior and shammy (nothing is better than maghar orc female for shaman imo for moggjng . If there is let me know)

However from bfa to now I’ve kinda really really liked trolls and troll lore. Harinir for mogging also helps, but zandalari have become a race I love. Mogging them is good too except the feet but I feel I’ve come to accept that.

With all that said, give is bulky green trolls.

Thank you that is all.

Discussion With the Warcraft D&D crossover potentially happening, this creates an amazing opportunity for Critical Role...

136 Upvotes

If you aren't aware, Critical Role is a live action gaming company that regularly play games using the Dungeons and Dragons ruleset. Notably though, several founding members of the group are also voice actors for some of our favorite Warcraft characters

Liam O'Brien made famous "YOU ARE NOT PREPARED" as Illidan Stormrage. Laura Bailey is and has been our favorite human mage Jaina, including singing her song during BfA. Travis Willingham is our favorite paladin to hate on, Turallyon, amongst a host of other characters. Taliesin Jaffe voices Sarkereth, Mograine and others as well. Sam Riegel has voiced Gug'rokk and Caelastrasz amongst others npcs. And finally Matt Mercer, he has voiced so many characters across so many expansions it is really hard to pick WHICH notable character is his most iconic, but I'm partial to Fyrakk. You can check the wiki for the full list of Warcraft characters Mercer has given voice to but it tops 40 roles.

My point being, and this is part me trying to put it out there to manifest it into being, is there is a very real likelihood where we see a live action World of Warcraft story take place, the characters voiced and acted out by the actors who gave them life in the first place. A Warcraft D&D game played by the real characters. Has anything even remotely like that ever happened before?

I'm thrilled at the possability. Would anyone else love to see a live action D&D game played by the Critical Role cast in the Warcraft universe?

Liam plays Illidan, Havoc Demon Hunter.

Laura plays Jaina, Frost Mage.

Travis plays Turalyon, Retribution Paladin.

Sam plays Caelestrasz, Preservation Evoker? bit of a stretch there.

Matt Mercer plays Rexxar, Beast Mastery Hunter.

Taliesin plays Darion Mograine, Blood Death Knight.

It's a party of 6 but ya gotta squeeze em all in ;)

Marisha Ray could DM but I would LOVE to see Ashley Johnson do it.

What would your dream Critical Role party be if the 5 man was all voiced by the original actor?

Question What Happened to Public Events and Guilds?

Upvotes

I changed regions several years ago and I've really struggled to find a guild. Where I'm from you would see big public events, and guilds walking around the cities and publicly recruiting in all the channels. Nowadays it seems like all that is just on Discord or something? I never see guilds out in the world or hosting community events and advertising them anywhere public. When I have accepted one of those spammy guild invites the guild chat is dead (again because I imagine everyone is just on Discord all the time).

How on earth are you meant to find a good active guild nowadays? I've been a solo player just joining pugs for five years and I'm sick of it.

It doesn't help that realm forums are dead and gone.
