wait what? the red tint is the mythic one, even though its metal parts are bronze and clearly belong to the normal armor set?

I just checked in-game, they definitely have the normal and mythic weapon designs the wrong way around.

Roger Ebert never directed a Hollywood Blockbuster. Does that mean all his criticism was invalid?

(Obviously Hypersonic's criticsm was pretty poor, but still, the "I wanna see you do better" argument is just BS ? )

I will admit, this artwork is not my favorite but neither was the original Ulduar artwork. It is particularly ill-suited to the druid aesthetic...

That all said, Ulduar was and still remains one of my favorite raids so these new weapons smack a bit of the nolstalgic and that is quite ok in my book.

At least we're not in for a bunch of re-re-re-skinned troll weapons during this expansion

 

 

...Right?

I do have to agree with hyper and krap... I won't go as far as calling them ugly since tastes are different. But to quote krap it is clearly a huge step down from legion artifacts. I was scrolling through them thinking "meh" at best, looking for the one to really stand out. But there's none IMHO. Granted they probably put a helluva lot more effort in the artifact skins, knowing we would run around with them for an entire expansion.

When Legion hit I was like wtf man - just one Weapon the entire time? And what's that BS relic system they came up with... In the end I'm quite sad we're losing them. I think the whole Artifact thing was really well done. There really was the feeling of carrying around some meaningful piece of wargear with its own lore - for me at least.

Well – lucky us still got Transmog ?

Well, I like them. The blades are a little too wide on the 2H swords, if you ask me, but otherwise, they're looking nice. And happy to get rid of my "weapon that literally everyone else also has".

(...) look quite good, except for fist weapons which I think they could work a bit more on them.

I think those previews on the modelviewer dont catch the appearence right, since the effect are always big color layers without transparency.

Especially the fist weapons are my favorite of all those uldir weapons. The moving effects look awesome, and make them and the 2h sword a whole lot slimmer.

No, it's as valid as "it all sucks."

Very good, didn't consider this. Actually went through all of them in the 3d viewer. Looks really good. ^^

I dunno, the guns look decent to me. All in all it looks like they've enlisted Starcraft II art department to design these weapons, they look extremely protoss-y, especially the glaives.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
