Okay, so I’m leveling a brewmaster monk sans heirlooms on the leveling stream. Again, sans heirlooms. So the following opinion is entirely based on how strong she is without a single heirloom on.

Brewmaster monks are ridiculously OP so far. Like, every level up to 48 (her current level) I just annihilate things. We pull huge groups of mobs and I just hit them with Keg Smash. I was level 46 before I even had to learn what Dizzying Haze did. I just discovered Paralysis yesterday – I’m essentially a tank that can sap things now. This is ludicrous. How does anyone enjoy playing such an overwhelmingly potent class? I’m glad I didn’t level one when Vengeance was still a thing, I’d be unstoppable.

I’m softening on my declaration that I’ll reroll DK as soon as we hit level 55, because frankly, a DK wouldn’t be this crazy powerful. Anyway, The Queue. Your questions. Let us discuss.

Paul Sams, formerly Chief Operations Officer at Blizzard is now the CEO at Ready at Dawn, developers behind The Order: 1886.

Got a little Queue to sing for ya.

Questions and answers coming up.

Looking to learn more about the dwarven king who inspired Hearthstone's new hero portrait? Read up the history of Magni Bronzebeard here.

Tanking in a massively multiplayer game like World of Warcraft is when certain classes (Monks, Death Knights, Warriors, Paladins and Druids, in the case of WoW) choose a specialization and perform a role that is intended to keep the monsters in a dungeon or raid focused on said tank, and not instead on the healers or damage dealers in the group. You may already have known that, but it can be useful to establish basics right up front.

Hi, It’s The Queue again. I’m up late writing it because I can’t sleep. Ask me questions, I try and give you answers.

Yes, I’m excited about the new dinosaur they found in Alberta. I’m always excited about new dinosaurs when they find them.

Onward and upward.

I have to admit, I like it when games are designed by people who are enthusiastic about it. And game designer Kent-Erik Hagman fits the bill. Reading this interview with VentureBeat, my immediate thought was that I'd like to get a chance to watch this guy play the game because he's just so into it. Maybe we could make that happen, Blizzard?

Hi. Welcome to The Queue, Blizzard Watch’s Q&A space. I’m listening to The Cars in tribute to Benjamin Orr, who died too soon.

Let’s get to the questions, shall we? I don’t mind you hanging out and talking in your sleep.

The fallen Titan unleashed the Burning Legion and sent them across infinity, devouring worlds like cosmic locusts, rendering them lifeless. A nearly unstoppable army of demons under his banner finds worlds and unmakes them, and so far only one planet has held out against the onslaught of Sargeras and his Burning Legion. But who is Sargeras? What motivates this being? What drives him to seek the unmaking of the entire universe?

As you may know, this Saturday, June 6th there will be a live Q&A with Lead Game Designer Ion Hazzikostas. Now they're asking for your questions for said Q&A, and there are two ways you can get involved.
