If you're paying attention to the Legion alpha, you probably already know that there have been some changes to how Active Mitigation tanking works.

So last month, just after Christmas, Lemmy Kilmister died of cancer. He’d literally just turned 70 years old, his birthday was December 24. Then this month, both David Bowie and Alan Rickman die of cancer, Bowie just after his 69th birthday, and Rickman less than a month before his 70th.

All three of these men had a pretty substantial affect on my life, so I’m sort of in a daze right now.

Anyway, this is The Queue.

Hi. I have an incredibly bad cough and it’s utterly kicking my butt.

Let’s do the Queue. I’ll be stopping to cough a lot.

I haven't been back to Un'Goro since Cataclysm, and I only went there the one time then just to see how it had changed.

It's time.

One of the things I love most in World of Warcraft is the pet battle system...

Between Garrison Followers, especially the bodyguards you can give yourself, and the coming system in Legion that expands upon it, I find myself wondering why World of Warcraft hasn't embraced Diablo 3's system and let you have permanent companions.

While I'm on the record as thinking the Garrison Mine and Herb Gardens ended up separating players from the world, the more I think about it the more I realize that I hate Mining, Skinning, and Herbalism.

Talking about Arms in Legion right now is hard because it wasn't live when the Alpha went down, so all we're left with is datamined information like the talent calculator.

If you haven’t read Avram Davidson, I recommend you do so. Start with the Limekiller books, then move on to Doctor Eszterhazy. The man was an unalloyed genius and shockingly well read, I learn something new every single time I read him.

This has nothing to do with today’s Queue, I just wanted to mention him.
