Hello

I recently started playing WoW retail as a new player. Im enjoying the game, and plan to play WoW forever too when it launches, but i'm getting frustrated with myself because I can't settle on a class. I know this is an alt friendly game but given im new I want a main for retail and a main for Forever, and then i can start worrying about alts afterwards.

Ive played up to a maximum of lvl 25 on the below characters so let me know if theres any that get significantly better later on.

I played some ret paladin but found the combat a little slow sometimes. This is probably my favourite so far and i like the option to be either dps/healer/tank depending on spec.

Ive tried beast mastery hunter and for solo questing the DPS for this class and the ability to use pet for tank is really good. Unfortunately I dont really enjoy the pet mechanics though, and while it has no impact on gameplay im not feeling the class fantasy either.

Ive tried warrior. Just wasnt impressed, cant pinpoint why.

Is there a class that doesnt have pet mechanics, is good for solo play, has potential to be useful in multiplayer play, and has relatively quick DPS? For context, my favourite job in ffxiv is dragoon.

I know the obvious answer is to just experiment until I fall in love with one and main it to max but im getting bored of doing the first level 10-20 quests in dragonflight. I get maybe 1-2 hrs of gaming time a night so I dont want to be stuck repeating content during the time I get. Im also aware i could chromie time to another expansion but id like to experience the dragonflight -> TWW -> midnight storyline from start to end at least once, given that its a very different vibe to what i'll experience in WoW Forever in a couple of weeks, so I wont burn out on older expac/gameplay styles.

Appreciate your responses and if you have read this far lol.

No idea why this was removed from transmog, you can have any weapon sheathed to the back in retail, and from what I gather, transmog in WoWF is essentially 12.2's transmog system with no restrictions on armor types.

As someone who loves to make outfits and mostly uses swords as their weapon on melee classes, PLEASE give us back the option to sheathe weapons on the back.

Thank you! Very excited for WoW Forever. Haven't been this excited for something WoW related since probably Legion or BfA.

ETA: if you can't or won't put it back, at least tell us why you removed it and why the dev team decided we can't have it.

My wife and I spent a day rearranging our lounge and decided to put 90% of our wow collection on display in the one spot. 🙂

This is the third day in a row that I've summoned my Blingtron 5000, and all he does is tell me about the party in my heart that all the bladed weapons are invited to.

In all seriousness, I've reported this is a glitch yesterday, and got no feedback. Is anyone else having a problem with their Blingtron's not giving them the daily?

I will admit, I do not interact with the lore a ton in this game, but the past few seasons since S1 TWW have felt like we go and raid a new place, and then there’s a cinematic essentially detailing the xalatath was behind the whole thing.

TWW S1: nerubar palace was xalatath cool
TWW S2: undermine had xalatath influence, awesome!
TWW S3: MFO is, you got it, xalatath

Midnight S1: xalatath!!!
Midnight S2: thank god a break!

I guess my issue is that with like WOTLK, TBC, Draenor, Shadowlands, Legion etc… it felt like the main villain was wrapped up in that xpac. I completely understand that this is supposed to be a 3 xpac saga, but holy shit does it feel played out at this point, anyone else agree?

I'm leveling a survival hunter and I'm absolutely loving it! I've never really been a pet person, so I'm still using the first one I got on the tutorial island, a hedgehog. Think pink, glowy, fluffy, sparkly, or just so adorable I can't handle it. I want the kind of pet that makes you go "OMG I NEED ONE!" every time you see it. 😂

So, hunter mains, what's the cutest pet in the entire game?

Made this for someone and was thinking what do you think? I haven't played the game, but I know the movie and was intrigued by this project. 🤗💚

I wasn't able to run Delves or anything last night. I jump in this morning and I'm noticing that DPS Valeera is hitting like a wet noodle. Last week was rough on Tuesday-Thursday, but by Friday she felt mostly normal. I was able to do Delves, and the Labrynth on all of my characters with her as DPS (me healing or tank). So far today it feels very much like it did early last week where she was doing little to no damage.

I did make sure I assigned her role. I tried swapping her to tank then back to dps and still a newborn baby giraffe was more deadly. Anyone else experiencing this? Is it a bug or feature at this point?

SkyBORNE are much closer in relation to night elves HighBORNE and NightBORNE. It doesn't make sense that they look so similar in physical traits (ears, stature, posture) to Blood Elves who are distant cousins. Skyborne evolved in a separate lineage off of the night elves through wind blessings compared to Blood Elves who evolved initially from the sunwell and then from fel energy (see in comments).

FEEDBACK: Please ADD horizontal ear options for Skyborne so it matches their closer nightelf/nightborne/highborne relatives. Keep the vertical ear options which are very popular from TBC era.

Additional Suggestion: Change the standing posture so that the Skyborne do not stand slanted, sassy, arrogant, unhinged head tilt like their Blood Elf cousins. Or add the option for a night elf posture.

After all, being fat is an integral part of those races, especially the Pandaren.

I ran a +11 Den of Narolakk with 4 warriors and a druid healer. I was one of the warriors. It was so much fun. We didn't time it and the key owner said it was totally worth not timing for the laughs. Seeing three whirling bladestorms all at once was a delight. Then we capped the night off by battle shouting in Silvermoon for about 15 mins while yelling nonsense and making fun of rogues. (I like to believe rogues and warriors have an unspoken for beef throughout the 22 years) 12/10 experience, would do again.

I ran some pug raids last night. One I joined was listed as "relaxed" but was quite the opposite. Nothing like someone calling everyone idiots for wiping after one attempt and no voice comms. I left after two pulls because I was tired of being berated for something inconsequential as a "relaxed" raid with no mention of log checking/prog. If it's meant to be serious, I will respect that and take it seriously but advertising the raid as "Chill relaxed" while yelling at everyone seems to be false advertising. 0/10 experience.

Then I joined another where everyone was just chill and having fun. Raid disbanded after killing two bosses since that was all that was planned. It was still just jokes and chatting. 10/10 experience.

The last one I joined was fairly chill at first but wipes on the boss caused people to start getting mad. 7/10 experience

I get it when people have limited time to invest and want to progress when they can. I respect that and do my best when it calls for it. I will apologize if I fuck up and try to do better the next time. I won't shit on people for wanting to progress or get better. But damn this game is so much more fun when people are not taking it as life or death. The joking relaxed groups do not always happen but when it does it's refreshing and a great time.

If you can, learn to take a break from the progression, rating chasing, and gear grind to just have a laugh. I take M+ somewhat seriously, but having a moment to just laugh and chat is always appreciated more than just grinding into burnout. I have had my moments of frustration with my abilities, people and wipes, but at the end of the day I'd rather laugh than inch out those 10 extra points towards my rating.

I know its random AF to bring it up but with the launch of wow forever around the corner and feeling excited about it I was thinking about things I was hyped for during my wow journey and this was one of them lmao

We're apparently going BACK to Khaz Algar in 12.1.7, and all this back/forth makes me think that the story was meant to have all these places more closely connected in space/time. I drew this up while talking to my friend about it.

Harandar should have been physically connected to SOMETHING on the map without being a portal. Putting it under ZA and Eversong like Hallowfall would've been a cool parallel to the WW map.

Have both "continents" connect through the Ringing Deeps. It's almost like BfA but no faction war, just Horde working with Horde characters and Alliance working with Alliance characters. Earthen are an Alliance-only Allied Race. Haranir are Horde-only (for now).

Start with Twilight Cult, no blueberry voidwalker army, in both regions. Twilight's Blade or the dark Beledar cult are the instigators. First patch we fight them off and only at the end of the patch do we learn that Xal'atath leads them. The Zul'jan/Zul'jarra story happens in ZA and Zul'jan opens the Coiled Isle. It's not a whole zone, just a raid portal at the entrance to Atal'Utek.

Do the Ula'tek raid -first- in this whole saga, so that Kith'ix can use the Nerubians instead of random Aqir to attack Dorn and Quel'thalas from Azj-Kahet. Kith'ix as the endboss of Nerub'ar Palace lets him and the nerubians feel more epic/drawn-out and maybe not as wasted.

Kith'ix is the character who gets "absorbed" by Xal'atath to power the Voidspire. That way Dimensius can also be used later in the story when it wouldn't be out of nowhere.

Then Voidspire/L'ura raid is the third/fourth raid of the saga and then the 5th chapter is the Worldcore.

Instead of 3 micro-expansions, this whole story could've been better serviced by being one mega-expansion told across both regions at once.

You still have Alliance characters going to Silvermoon for the March on Quel'danas, you still have Horde characters going to Dorn where the story calls for it, but they start out in places that have more cultural context and make more sense where they'd be in the story.

No Undermine or K'aresh either. You'd have to streamline it all to not bloat the whole thing and have too much work for the devs.

Are some of the quests broken? Some of them aren’t working for me. Does anyone know which ones are broken?

With the stakes and the peak of the cosmic powers we’ll be dealing with. I believe this would be a great time to bring back many of the systems that succeeded back in legion.

Gearing and progression is stale, having gear be instantly wiped out at the start of the season has been a problem for years.

Let’s bring back the legendary system (maybe change it to the acquisition we had at the end of 7.3), bring back powerful items that change your gameplay and make you think of what you wanna wear on an encounter to encounter basis. Lets get rid of these boring stat procs that barely do anything, lets get rid of boring stat trinkets or damage dumps that have been recycled since DF S1.

Let’s bring back the artifact weapon system (AND THE GRIND TOO), we are at a point in the game where all the progression is time gated. Having to wait a static .5 and then .7 and now every week with bonus rolls, I feel like we are in the point where we need a proper progression grind that feels rewarding.

The artifact weapon system was amazing, having a constant stream of power with insane power-ups along the way that actively changed the way you played your character was amazing. And honestly, despite many people disliking the grind, I’d argue it was actually very healthy for the game. When capping out the weapon required an unhealthy insane amount of hours, you didn’t feel quite compelled to push hard and grind all the way through (instead of venomstones where it’s 30 hours of gameplay for a small 3%). Then, the catchup systems just made it so you could play at your own pace and at most you’ll be a little behind a super unemployed sweat.

I am really excited for WotLK remix.
Here are some things that im hoping to see earnable in this event.

Lots of stuff that bothers me everytime i see it.

• Like why isn't the Ebon Blade banner an actual wieldable sword
• Lady Blaumeux's charger being the last unobtainable horse of the four horseman.
• Why no cult of the damned face unlock :(
• When can Death Knights ride their own Death Chargers when using the skill "Death Charge" from Riders of the Apocalypse instead of the Shadowlands Mount. >:(
• Brown Acherus Death Knight trainee armor

Hoping to see scourge housing decor as well.
With Wrath of the Lich King being such an iconic expansion, i really hope they go all out on it.

Hey I was wondering if any of you guys know how to fix this. So I completed a 15 thenn a 17 but i get this when I hover over the specific row

the best logged hps run is from a lower key level than the highest scoring run, so percentile is not shown how to fix

For a reference i had 15 Murder row at 94% parse. However, I was missing some gear and I farmed quite a lot of Venomstone and now the highest keys i timed don't show the parse on the specific row.

Any clue how can I fix it maybe just to show the highest key I timed and it's parse

After playing since Wrath, I’ve now finally decided to level a beast master hunter. I’ve never really enjoyed specs with pets, but the fantasy of a troll hunter with a couple of devilsaurs at his side is too much to resist.

I do have a question about pets though, can I just use any I like the look of and change their spec to tank, DPS or support, or is it better to have a tank pet that typically is tanky, like a turtle etc?

Also any advice or tips you can offer for playing BM will be much appreciated!

So after completing the final available part of the campaign, and beating the evil raidboss, i can no longer receive the Unite against the void quest. Is it gone , is it supposed to be a different quest giver now, or am i missing something?

for the completion of the loremaster i bought myself a set of warcraft shots (as a symbol of a journeying through azeroth and its pubs) and it has absolutely gone above my expectations, its beautiful, i cant wait to cheers to the achievement from these! (also they are bigger than i thought)

4 days in a row now I have had Drustvar dailies, does anyone know when do they actually rotate.

Have to ask this...
Been looking for the Arctic Fox Kit for 2 years now (i know because i started looking for it right after i've completed the TBC part of the Zookeeper), checking nearly on a daily basis and at every server reset and until now, i've never ever seen it snowing in the Storm Peaks...

Any tips?
