None of the legion will attack us, in fact they'll invite us over for fel-mountain dew and pizza in their bat-cave.

It was this fi...HoF Heroic - Blade Lord Ta'yak. It was this fight that made me switch from maining a DK to maining a Hunter. I cannot recall a more unforgiving fight for melee than Blade Lord Ta'yak. It was the pinnacle of frustration.<br /><br />Granted, I am a Wrath baby, so there may have been fights that I didn't experience when it was current that were difficult for melee; but I raided everything from Wrath on (Normal and Heroic) and Heroic Blade Lord Ta'yak was by far the worst IMO.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13942440850950953231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-72826993156065100302015-09-22T08:27:26.577-04:002015-09-22T08:27:26.577-04:00Talking of melee, you forget one important thing: ...Talking of melee, you forget one important thing: a good and clever melee dps attack the big bad from behind :)<br /><br />It works both for game mechanics (no parry, no block of your attacks) and common sense. <br /><br />I've always felt like a ranged player. If possible, it's gonna be something like mage in any game, and preferably ice mage who can stun. Guess who's my main in WoW? <br /><br />I was afraid to start a melee for a long time. When I did, it was a paladin because I thought I would have some backup self-healing. <br /><br />Now I'm raiding 7 melees and 4 ranges. And you know what? At certain fights, like Maidens, Kilrogg, Iron Reaver or Archimonde, melees feel like they're in paradise. They just merrily stand in place and bump a boss in his heel. While ranges have to ran like hell, all toungues out. So sometimes melees are easier.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-64680442048351485632015-09-22T01:01:57.085-04:002015-09-22T01:01:57.085-04:00All specs will be fighting from melee in Legion. T...All specs will be fighting from melee in Legion. The devs feel that fighting from range makes it too easy to avoid danger in a raid, and the devs want raids to feel dangerous again. The devs put in a lot of effort into the design and feel of a raid for the players to avoid it from ranged. Ranged fighting may be added in a later patch with an achievement once all raid tiers have been cleared, although the devs may feel that this is the way the game was always intended to be played and remove it from Legion and all subsequent expansions.

You basically have to seriously out gear them to have a smooth run, which defeats the purpose.<br /><br />I've said it before and I'll say it again: I want valor gear back.<br /><br />I rarely use healing pots since we can only use one per fight. I'll use it as a last ditch effort to stay alive, but that's all. Using them regularly while in combat would definitely be interesting.<br /><br />I really hope they finally balance absorbs in Legion.<br /><br />I hope survival isn't super OP in Legion. I won't be switching to it, but I won't even switch to MM now... I might finally make a horde toon and level it as survival, but that's still TBD. I'm not even sure if I'll still be playing in Legion.Jaegerhttps://twitter.com/makosdvnoreply@blogger.com
