I don't want to miss reforging. The problem is, for me, some stats are still just garbage - crit and mastery are still our absolute best stats, haste is still bad (bordering on very bad depending on talent choices) and both versatility and multistrike are, at best, meh. Yes, it's true, with the changes to gear and enchanting and gemming I can put on a new piece of gear almost immediately without running off to tinker with it. But the problem is, often, I don't want to, even if it's an ilevel upgrade, because it's a haste/multistrike piece and why even bother?

A new short story has been released on the official website. The Code of Rule, by Ryan Quinn, gives us one of those chunks of lore we were missing from the development of Warlords of Draenor's story -- how exactly the ogres of Highmaul allied with the Iron Horde in the first place.

Welcome to the seventh episode of Blizzard Watch's podcast!

RNG is short for random number generator, and its the randomness when you do something like roll for loot, or even the randomness that determines whether a certain piece of loot even drops - whether loot is set to personal, or you're using master looter, there's always some randomness because a boss doesn't drop everything it could drop when you kill it.
