to the World of Warcraft, where everyone has an equitable chance to obtain end game loot!and speaking of end game loot, my rogue is working on her Raid Tier set of armor. so far she's collected 2 of the 6 pieces. Tier sets always come with set bonuses as well, which are basically additional buffs that you get when wearing matching equipment. the rogue Tier 2 set bonus reduces an important cooldown substantially, and the 4 piece set bonus then also increases combo point generation. together the set bonuses improve DPS by a fairly large factor.
the only gear better then these pieces are these same pieces collected from hardmode raids which come with better stats. so there are definitely better pieces out there, but i'm not very likely to try anything more difficult than Normal mode. Hard modes are, first of all, hard, but they're also just difficult to organize and get into. the easier modes have a Raid Finder which lets you just queue, but hard modes require you assemble the raid manually which is a bitch.
it's actually easy to waste a lot of time trying to raid and the frustration hasn't been worth it in my experience. already my rogue is one-shotting most things, and fights with "elites" are usually less than 20 seconds. very few fights are even challenging anymore, raids are the only places that are dangerous. So i'd be improving her gear for the sole purpose of repeating the content on a higher difficulty, because her gear has already trivialized a majority of the content.
but, i do want the 4 piece set bonus at least, and i want the set for transmog. and i might want the normal mode recolor even more, we'll see. it'll be a bitch trying to farm those if i decide to.

I really like the liberal rehabilitation of George W. Bush. The Bushes are #NeverTrump so they can be forgiven for Iraq and Guantanamo and 9/11 and whatever else people were upset about.

there's new races too. Lightforged Draenei and Void Elves for the Alliance and the horde gets Highmountain Tauren and Nightborne elves. each new race has their own set of Racial abilities, some of which are pretty good and others that are pretty blah. Pretty difficult to unlock them actually, there's high reputation requirements and you need a max level character (which is the easy part). i've only met the rep requirements for Lightforged so far, and have a couple of hours of rep farming to do to unlock Void Elves. I don't have a max level Horde character, so unless i Boost one or pay for a faction change then i won't be playing the new horde races.i made a Lightforged Paladin, it's one of the classes i've never really played. the odds of it getting deleted are pretty high, tbh.

@861,170 (Meta)anyone who loves hyperbole would love the new void elves, they're so good blizzard can be excused for every mistake they've ever made. they have a racial passive 5% damage buff that has a chance to proc with every damaging attack and it procs often. They also don't suffer a knockback penalty when casting which is one of my biggest frustrations with trying to level up casters. i could see a Void Elf Mage or Warlock as actually maybe possibly being fun for me.
so i'm definitely going to finish grinding out the rep to unlock these ones. but i haven't decided if i'm going full caster or going to level a hunter which i've had fun with in the past. I think if i level a void elf hunter i may not benefit fully from the race.

and i have yet another character boost. this is like the third i think, i keep getting them with the expansions. so i gotta figure out what the hell to boost this time. I could totally boost a Horde character and start developing a Horde roster instead of continuing to make everything alliance, but they won't get the benefit of the nice crafting loop my alliance characters have been working out. i don't have any duplicate crafters, only duplicate farmers. regardless of what i'm playing i'm usually gathering materials to feed a single crafter to optimize materials spent. if i also have a horde blacksmith then it'll take twice as much farming and twice as much crafting to get both factions to the same point.i'm considering boosting an undead Death Knight cause they're kinda awesome. I already have a death knight on alliance, so i question if i'll end up not playing one or the other. instead of wasting a boost on a duplicate class, i should probably boost something else. i could faction change something and then boost one of the new races. it's a tough call. i'm not sure i'll play anything else really besides possibly a hunter or a Monk.
i could potentially build a Horde roster with an undead warrior, a pandarean Monk, a Nightborne Mage, and a highmountain Druid. faction change the warrior, boost the monk, level the mage, level the Druid.
with the lightforged paladin and a void elf hunter that would pretty much plan out whatever alts i end up leveling in the future. so i could at least have 2 max level horde characters to play off of if i do that.
if i say fuck the horde and keep them all alliance then i don't think i need a fancy plan. in ten years i've not finished my druid, so, switching to a new race probably won't get it there any faster.
oh yeah, pictured: a possible undead Death Knight to boost. likelyhood of deletion 75%, he'd already be deleted if he didn't have mail to deal with...
