I think it's time to come home in BFA. I mained priest every expansion except WoD and Legion, although I always kept a priest leveled just in case. I have 7 priests, I think it's time to make that 8. I've missed it a lot, and the changes to both holy and discipline for BFA are pretty exciting.

I have a feeling I'm going to end up playing both alliance and horde this time, so I'll keep my monk going on horde and make a new alliance priest.

SEVEN?

Yeah, but not all of them are even close to leveled to max. My friends and I moved servers a lot and I was too poor to pay for a server change, so I'd just start over. It's been a long time since WoW came out.

Haha oh okay I gotcha. I thought you meant you had 7 max-level priests! I'm kind of in the same boat with all the characters I have spread out across like five servers.

I used to main priest through the first few expansions and then again in Warlords. Never quite got back into healing on him though. He's still one of my primary mains though.

and that a big fat NOPE on leveling a LFD from 20 lol. Immediatly bored after not even leaving SW :p

The voidy was really a right place right time thing I guess, class I want to play in BFA plus new cool race that alliance didnt have.LFDs are basically just Draenei (i imagine Horde players feel much the same with Nightborne vs Highmountain Tauren no?). Anyway, guess Ill do the Argus stuff with the lock this next week, get him some gear and shit, fuck around a bit before taking a break until BFA. Think the sub is up on the 19th or something, hopefully 8.0 will be out before that so I can quickly do the Teldrassil stuff to see it, I also have Octopath Traveler pre-ordered which is out on the 13th so it seems like a good time to take a small break soon, no point in burning myself out leveling another character, one that I dont even want to play, when BFA is around the corner and I want to be fresh for that.

I do still have that 110 boost tho, not really sure what I'll use it on. All the classes (besides Warlock) that I could potentially see myself playing in BFA already have race/class combinations I enjoy. Guess I save it for a Kul Tiran druid or something.

edit: oh the Teldrassil stuff is going to roll out weekly? Welp, guess im not seeing that shit then, im not going to stay subbed just for that, ill do it in the weekend before BFA or something when I resub.

The launcher thing about pre expansion checklist has the mage challenge on it. I'm under the impression they go away with 8.0 which is why I'm kind of racing to finish it on my main.

Yes mage tower will be gone when 8.0 hits it is expansion exclusive there doing this for long as i can remember.

I still need to try to get Disc priest at least that staff looks cool.

You guys think there's any chance 8.0 is this week or we thinking it's a lock for the 17/18th?

Doubt they'd do it this week, that would be super short notice at this point and they know people are still trying to get stuff done. I think 17/18th.

I just met a cool multiboxer while fishing and farming the Darkmoon Rabbit. He actually ended up giving me one!

I only have two characters, (a human paladin I've played since vanilla, and a worgen DK I've played since Cat), but I'll probably make some new characters in BfA now that I've unlocked LF Draenei and will probably get DI Dwarves as well.

I might get Void Elf. I'm halfway between Revered and Exalted with Argussian Reach, but the grind is real.

Does overcharging your weapon help with the Magee tower stuff at all? I'm tempted to jump back in and knock out a few mage tower appearances but I don't want to do hours of questing on each character if it's not worth it... I'm not hyped for BoA at all. I don't know why. I think it may be because I rarely play anything else when I'm playing wow and I'm enjoying playing other games.

Going to Silithus after basically taking a break for this entire expansion was certainly an interesting discovery.

I highly recommend at least running through the LFR versions of the raids (or just youtubing the various cutscenes) if you just blindly wandered into it, the storyline in legion is pretty good. All in all the 'throughline' type story they've been running since MoP has been a great success all things considered, and they really do keep it moving from one patch to the next.

Hours? You can do the silithus stuff in like, minutes. You don't have to do one of the quests per faction either. It definitely helps, cause your weapon is jumping up quite a few levels depending on how high your AP is. On shitty alts that don't have the crucible fully done it's even bigger.

The overcharge questlines takes fifteen minutes, tops, if you only do the necessary bits.

I definitely need to find a group to play with, because random people are just unbearable. Everybody is so rude and impatient. Dying once is not the end of the world. (._. )

I need practical tips for flying up to 915+ quickly. Leggos can't be the answer. Shit is too random, and the grind is so long to get 1k for the guaranteed one...isn't it? I suppose Argus LFR is the way, but man, that's a time investment.

I'm just whining. I'm panicking all of a sudden b/c I thought I had til BFA launched to do Mage Towers. lol

BoE gear. Primal obliterum can get the pieces up to 935. Depends how much you have/want to spend.

You could do Mythics?

Try to combine the LFR with the mission table quests if you have any.

After 9 wipes, the group I was in managed to finish the last raid in LFR. Now I feel like I actually finished the expansion.

Are you saying you got to 9 stacks of determination on Argus? Because if so, HOLY SHIT, that has to be one of the worst LFR groups I've heard of EVER.

I have been doing world quests and invasions for a few days and I've only managed to get to 894. I must be missing something.

At this point you need to be looking at getting the 910 gear with Argunite currency and having 2 legendaries.

Also the event that should begin next week gives 910 gear.

How do you equip 2 legendaries? The ones I got yesterday and today say unique (1) legion legendary on them.

And when I said world quests, I was talking about Argus ones. How else do you get argunite?

Finally exalted with all four reps for Allied Races, now I just need to max Dreamweavers and Wardens for all Legion reps max. I'm not sure I care enough, and paragon mounts won't go away or become harder at 120.

Thought you meant gear from WQs themselves, which is always a bit lower.

Argunite sources:

But given the biggest chunk of that is from weekly quests, I wouldn't worry now too much.

Well, the only reason to gear up right now is to potentially try out the mage tower quests, and there is a major time limit on those... probably next week they will go away?

Thanks anyway, though.

Ugh, fuck the mage tower challenge for brewmaster's. I'm sure the issue is just me being under geared and terrible, but I'm never going to get this skin. /rant.

Summon Black Ox Statue will tank the entire first phase for you, it's incredibly cheesy. Other than that, Argunite gear or LFR gear should be enough. Make sure you roll w/ the Tiger Palm relics to help with single target dps.

LFR is definitely the way, it is going to get you higher level gear, as well as all of the wakening essence. It's not a long grind at all to get the 1k essence if you just do your emissary every day and some form of the raid every week, because the raid accounts for several hundred essences. If you aren't doing it, you're skipping the biggest source of them. Also, if you've done the argus quest chain you get the ring guaranteed the first time you kill Argus himself.

Hmm it's getting closer to that time to resub. Though I think I may stick with healing this go around to get faster groups/results. I really really want to play Holy DK but ehhhhh, maybe not this expansion.

How are Disc Priests holding up in BFA?

Reaaaaaaally? Last time I played Disc was back in Warlords. The current style fits the way I like to play (Looks like a FF14 Scholar, just without the pet doing all the heal). And dps to heal? Damn, I think I'm in.

Oh shit, the ring is guaranteed from LFR after the end of the chain?
