First rare mount!
Not sure HOW rare it is, but after 3 years of primarily being a pvp player... I randomly got my first 'rare' drop mount about 10 minutes ago and I'm EXCITED. This bad boy is about to be my mount for the foreseeable future Just wanted to share :)

Where are the laser camels, Blizzard?
There are no disco camels to be seen anywhere. This patch sucks.
What is Blizzard even doing? I need lazer humps as a mount right now!
You promised them to us, Blizzard. Hearthstone only set us up for disappointment.

If Blizzard decides to add a Void themed spec for DH - what role do you think it will have? Tank, Healer, DPS?

The Shadow rework has some very serious problems that make the spec even worse for high-end content
Hi! I'm a 3,300 io, CE Shadow Priest player (https://raider.io/characters/us/stormrage/Crazzlux) and I have some feedback about the rework coming in 11.2. It's no secret that Shadow is in a bit of a rough spot right now, mostly in Mythic+, and the rework seems to be giving us some things to help address that, but it's also harming our single target, introducing some new talents that are completely DOA, and not actually solving any of the problems in Mythic+.

https://www.wowhead.com/ptr-2/talent-calc/priest/shadow/voidweaver
The old (first) and new (second) talent trees if you're curious to look in-depth at the changes. But the primary concerns are as follows:
\- Pathing. Right now (and probably in 11.2), every build, regardless of which Hero tree you take, regardless of Raid, M+ or Delves, takes Void Torrent. For Voidweaver, it's mandatory as it enables the entire tree, and for Archon, it's just a powerful ability that does a ton of damage on a short cooldown. The introduction of Void Volley is excellent, it's a really cool spell and that's great, but the pathing changes in the tree leading up to Torrent are extremely problematic. The main way to path to it for M+ is obviously going to be through Shadow Crash, that's easy. But you don't want to have to spend points on SC in single target, and the new talent, Instilled Doubt, is incredibly bad, giving crit chance and damage to our DoTs when we don't want crit and our DoTs do no damage. This talent is so bad we're probably going to path through SC even in single target to get to Void Torrent, and that sucks because it's basically 2 wasted points.
\- On the subject of dead talents, several other of the new ones are pretty bad too. Madness Weaving, another newcomer, makes our Devouring Plague boost our damage through our Mastery more. Seems good, as Mastery is our best stat right now, right? It's bad. Like, REALLY bad. Literally a dead on arrival talent we'll never take. The reworked Dark Evangelism is in the same boat - in the old tree, it stacked up to 10% total bonus damage from periodic effects, and was a good talent. Now, it just gives a flat 6%, which is not enough because our periodic effects aren't enough damage. DOA talent we will never use.
The most egregious of these dead talents, though, is the reworked Idol of Y'shaarj. This is a capstone level talent, at the bottom of the pet side of the tree that buffs Shadowfiend/Mindbender, and it gives... A random proc for 15% Haste. And then when it fades you lose 10% Haste. This talent is so fucking bad I'm shocked it even made it into the PTR. I'm pretty sure it's a DPS loss to take depending on proc RNG, as it can proc \~10s before your cooldowns so you get a nice haste penalty during your burst. This is also the only capstone in the game that comes with an inherent drawback, and the proc isn't even anything special to warrant it. This talent would still be bad even if the drawback was completely removed, with it it's a joke it even exists.
\- Our single target rotation, primarily Voidweaver, is losing 2 movement globals. Unfurling Darkness, which was a talent that made your next Vampiric Touch instant cast and do a bunch of damage after you casted one, is gone. Voidweaver would frequently cast the first VT, and then hold the instant cast one for when they needed to move. Deathspeaker used to give a random chance for Shadow Word: Death to behave as if the target was in execute regardless of it's health, and this was also a proc that Shadow could hold for movement situations. Both of these are gone, and the only replacement instant ability is Void Volley, which is good but is available half as often as Unfurling alone. This is a significant hit to our mobility in a spec that already suffers from mobility problems.

Dps output on retail is more balanced than it's even been but you wouldn't know it by the way people worship the lists
I'm weirdly mad when people say things like "finally my spec is viable!!" when you got buffed from the 14th best spec to the 10th best. You're doing like 2% more damage.
I played classic where we had shit like Shadow Priest and Ret Paladin trying to raid and doing 1/4th the damage of a warrior.
And on retail you see the colored graph says the other class does 3m dps and yours does 2.8m so you have a meltdown and reroll?

split Spirits talents up EVEN MORE. Shadow's AOE is looking to be based more around Auspicious Spirits, which is great and what a lot of players wanted! However, we now have 5 talents in a row to support them, meaning Spirits now has the same problem a ton of other spec's abilities have - the baseline version is awful and you need all the talents for them to be meaningful.
\- Finally, the biggest problem... Shadow Crash. Shadow Priests have been BEGGING for 2 charges of Crash for years at this point, and Blizzard finally delivered! Kind of. They reduced it's target cap from 8 to 6, so it's more like 1.5 Shadow Crashes. And, more importantly, they added a talent that boosts Shadow Crash's damage by 300%. SC doing basically no damage was a deliberate design decision by Blizzard in the last rework the spec got so we could use it just to refresh our DoTs. This was fine, as our damage was tuned around it and we don't need/want SC to be a nuke. It doing real, significant damage is actually bad, because now we're incentivized to use it on cooldown for damage rather than to keep our DoTs rolling, which means having 2 charges is moot as we'll never hold to DoT 12 targets with both of them anyways.
This means our uptime in M+ is going to end up being nerfed from these changes, as we'll play the entire key with 1 charge of SC anyways, minus the first pull of the dungeon. And we'll have to DoT more targets every pull to accommodate SC only hitting 6 instead of 8.
TLDR if you don't care about Shadow: This rework fucks some of Shadow's pathing to important nodes, adds a bunch of really bad talents that are DOA and need to be reworked again (seriously Blizz? A talent that gives DoTs crit and a CAPSTONE WITH A DRAWBACK?), removes even more instant casts from our rotation (the last rework did too!), splits Spirit talents from 3 to 5 without adding in anything new (except a bonus crit chance talent that's entirely passive... yay) and makes Shadow Crash's issues WORSE.

I wish rogue was fun
For so many years (since reading about Jimmy the Hand as a teenager) I’ve loved the rogue/thief theme and vibe. They’re extremely cool in every way. They’re a staple of almost every single RPG or fantasy setting ever invented. So much about them is awesome.
Except the way they play in wow.
I really wish Blizz would give them a proper work over, focusing on making each spec play in fun ways. It feels like such a missed opportunity to have a quintessential RPG icon be the second least played class in the game (according to Data for Azeroth - they would be lowest but evoker bumped them up one spot).
