I would say ToT is similar to a bigger firelands, but most of HoF and Terrace were leaps and bounds ahead in terms of fight quality. MSV was a solid introduction a-la a smaller kara.
What is the difference between a realm merge and connected realms? Seem pretty synonymous.
It's effectively the same thing for the connected realms, but it allows everyone to retain their names. It's basically just an extension of the cross-realm technology, only on a larger scale, and allowing you to join guilds, arena teams, and whatever else that still requires being on the same server.
So garrosh's weapon/offhand drops are BoA's that scale lv 90-100.

If they make it into the game in the current state, that'll be pretty interesting. Seems to point to a 10-level bump for the next expansion, too.
Or just making them last 2 xpacs.
It's also worth noting that they're all 2 ilvl higher than thunderforged, without saying they're tf or anything.
I.E. flex version is 2 higher than flex tf, normal version is 2 higher than normal tf, heroic version is 2 higher than heroic tf.
Which also means for wars/rets/dk all 3 tiers this xpac will have had 2h axes as BiS. NO HORDE FAVORITISM THO, JUST FUCK HUMANS AND HUG ORCS CUZ ORC DPS RACIALS ARENT ALREADY GOOD ENOUGH
Fortunately I can't complain too much cuz the 4th boss drops a sword that will be fantastic for progression, it's still frustrating to see them just not giving a fuck, though.
Ohhhh blizzard you sneaky bastards, 5.4 to drop same day as FFXIV goes live: https://twitter.com/holinka/status/367349083943350272
All i can say to that is FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.
What's FFXIV?
"Your father dabbled in 'power beyond reckoning'... Where is he now?"
every time they do one of these trailers i want to come back, but then i realize the storyline is literally the only thing about the game that interests me so i dont. very sad.
i hope chen recovers.
That wasn't Chen, that was (more than likely) Taran Zhu of the Shado-Pan. Still, these trailers are always amazing.
Yeah, that was Taran. First getting fucked up by Nalak's creator, then getting buttfucked by Hax-mode Garrosh? A rough few months for him.
so uh... they're nerfing the shit out of the last 3 fights before garrosh
a little disappointed that they're doing it this hard this soon, but I'm guessing a lot of people are starting to really bang their heads on them
Looks like they're only nerfing it for small groups and heroic. The small group nerfs are in line with what they did for Horridon, which was atrocious in 10-man groups. Can't comment on the heroic changes, clearly blackfuse is a brick wall given the wowprogress stats.
long story short siegecrafter is a fight with an amazing design for its 1-shot mechanics:
they're not really 1 shots
instead, you're in constant danger of dying from overload, especially during magnets, if you get hit by anything else; meaning you can absorb some stuff when necessary as long as you're aware of overloads (see: the mines I eat in my siegecrafter vid)
so they're nerfing overload and magnet damage heh
combined with belt nerfs I expect it to go from one of the more epic fights ever in WoW to feeling like a high end normal or low end heroic
but yeah, there's no question shit has been harder on 10 man than 25 this tier (most of expansion actually)
the second 25 man group on KJ to kill garrosh spent like 3 weeks on him, killed him right before we got there (we're 10's)... they then set aside a 10 man group to try for realm first 10 man achieve, and they got it after a month, the day after we had a 4% wipe...
meaning they spent 3 weeks from first seeing him to killing him on 25, sent their best players to do it on 10 man with full warforged gear having already cleared the fight on 25, and it took them a month to kill it on 10's
