World Of Warcraft

There is a Forsaken Druid in an aquarium in Dalaran stuck in Aquatic form. Someone in Blizz really wants to see the world burn.

.....A Forsaken Druid? Since when was that thing?

Might've been a Gilnean harvest witch, afaik being a Forsaken doesn't disqualify you from using nature magic.

Current Dalaran or pending Dalaran?

Legion Dalaran, NPC named Victor Ebonfall. I have my doubts about his Forsakenness, tho.

I watched most of the Artefact intros, and, the rampant copy pasting looks lazy. But! I like the way Blizz did the Tyr's tomb. It basically boils down to: Warrior stomping on Twilight Hammer while they gather info at the entrance, then stomping the returning Old God general and skyjumping from the cave with the artifact. Priest stomping on Twilight Hammer while they have infiltrated the tomb and prepare shenanigans, then absorbing the power of that Old God general(permanently killing it) into their artifact. Paladin stomping out the last remnants of Twilight Hammer, Old God minions and remnants of that Old God general's power, then collapsing the tomb on an Old God ascendant while retrieving the artifact. Tyr's resting place is conveniently left out for future. That's how you do it, Blizz.

Well admittedly Forsaken can become priests which technically shouldn't be possible for them. So I guess a Forsaken can become druids if they really wanted to.

Well there is an Orc Druid in Warspear so anyone can become one apparently but the players,

No, Forsaken priests are canon, though using holy spells causes tremendous pain. The playable classes do not represent the full range of what can be done, various classes can be mixed in such things as battlemages and scouts, and the race/class combinations are not absolute, Blood Elf druids exist but are very different from those of the Cenarion Circle. A Forsaken druid sounds like the most oxymoronic possible, but you could get a backstory for it (say a Gilnean who was outside the kingdom when the plague struck).

Continuing on wonky scaling, at level 80 my elemental shaman has more than 100% mastery.

That's not that unusual. My elemental shaman has 96% mastery at 100 without that much gear. It's basically meaningless for the class.

Forsaken Priests are probably the biggest examples of Heroic Willpower in the game, They channel the light because of sheer force of will and belief in spite of the lack of gods or churches to guide them. The class trainer in the undead starting zone explains it.

Honestly I do wish Legion would go more into the relationship between Blood Elves and Undead, the banter between Sylvannus and Lorthemar is some of the best dialogue in Siege of Orgimmar.

I do remenber there is a religion of forsaken? the shadow priest I think, it could explain why

The Cult of Shadow if I remeber correctly.

Also, it feels like Blizz is setting up other races to become more classes. This is most prevaleny with the return of Bolvar in my opinion.

All they need to to get me to subscribe for the two months that a gametime card would buy me, and maybe have a chance of keeping me, is make. Worgen. Paladins. That's it.

If zombie scum from the ruins of the once proud city of Lordaeron can be Priests, there's NO excuses.

Legion Alpha Build 21134

Notable changes include the removal of gold rewards from Garrison and Naval missions, so you can't just hang around in Draenor collecting infinite gold on your alts; and the removal of the ability of Water Strider mounts to walk on water in all areas of the world. Seems they will be expansion-restricted.

Uh, isn't that kind of removing the point of it?

Well, the tooltips indicate that the Azure Water Strider will only be able to water-walk in Pandaria, and the Crimson Water Strider will only be able to water-walk in Draenor. So it seems likely that Blizzard intends to introduce more farmable water-walking mounts and doesn't want people to ignore them because they already have one.

It takes an excruciatingly long time to earn enough coins in Warlords to get the mount from Pagle.

If it's to not obsolete new mounts it's a really dumb move, considering they're also adding an easy to get ring that lets any mount waterwalk, and waterwalking is one of the bonuses of the artifact fishing pole.

I didn't even bother with any waterstriders, the pots are cheap as fuck.

Damn. Better level my poor new Monk so she can fly before her water strider starts to drown in the booty bay.

As long as blizzard doesn't see it fit to remove path of frost then I think I will be just fine riding across the oceans on my dark horse.

My druid has orca form.

Only a few classes suck on water.

My hunter always has a Waterstrider with him.

Wish they would make Water Walking castable while mounted though.

They've heard the response, and are changing the water striders back to working almost everywhere. Except for Legion zones. Their reasoning for the initial change was "But water-walking makes Water Striders mechanically superior to other ground mounts in a way that risks removing a feeling of choice."

At the level of difference water striders make most people pick ground mounts for Looks/Coolness Factor over functionality.

Also most people quaff Water Walking potions if they feel a dire need.
