Hallows End, Healing & Honor Hold

-
Over the weekend, marked the start of Hallows End. The holiday that has for 7 years failed to drop the flying horseman's mount for any of my max level characters. This also marks the first event with the new balanced loot drops as promised by:
With this I ran through Horseman's on all my 90's until they each picked up their appropriate ring ( Warlock, Priest, Druid). Now I need to run through a few more times, because I'd really like to get one of the new pets, like the Curse Birman (curse siamese) or Widget (ghost tabby?), only need 150 candies (each).

Update: 10/21 12AM - If you are leveling up a toon using heirlooms, don't forget about the Wickerman buff, Unburdened / Grim Visage. This buff can be picked up by throwing a piece of embers on the Wickerman. Undercity/Stormwind have a wickerman immediately outside the city. I don't know if  it sticks around while logged out.

Healing in Horseman's was absolutely painless. I am not sure if it was the dungeon(?), the recent respec and re-gem, or maybe the fact that the horseman's fight is only 30 seconds long.. :) It does give me hope again that healing another dungeon won't be as dreadful as before. I think I will run a heroic MOP dungeon before hand though..

Honor Hold?! Remember... it's the first Alliance inn in Outlands. Around this Alliance castle I've been leveling up my skinning and think that I am close to finally catching up with the required level to skin in the dungeons. The leveling guide has been quite useful. I've been sticking closely to each of the areas, except for 260-300 zone. I found that the Burning Steppes (around Dreadmaul rock) to be close enough in level, within a single flight path from Stormwind and plentiful of wolves and dragonkin.

OMG, Outlands dungeon bugs! I tanked Auchineai Crypts on my alliance druid (was level 65) and ran into the bug. Each trigger, the dungeon resets and puts your entire group back at the beginning. (sort of looks like you've been kicked, but still in group, then need to 'enter dungeon' again.) All mobs respawned. The only saving grace was the resets happened a little further along each time; just got up to Shirrak, just got passed Shirrak, just about to Maladaar, and finally we killed him (while healer was dc'd). One complete run through AC and I used up all my 3-days of rested and leveled up to 66.

Overall, a nice weekend. I will be trying to run the HH dungeon every night for the next 11 days.

Legion's Mythic+ Dungeon Final Impressions

-

Yesterday, Ythisens  posted a question on the WoW forums asking for final impressions on the Mythic+ dungeons. With Legion coming to a close we thought we might try something a little different and collect some specific feedback on things. While we normally are reading tons of posts you guys make and sharing the details internally, we want to try collecting focused feedback to ensure your opinions are being heard. We're still doing our usual methods but want to see if this can be something we use going forward.    For the first one we're going to try one focused on Mythic+! We want to hear everything you guys have on this feature we introduced in Legion. What you think it does well, what you think it doesn't, ways you'd like to see it go, how did it work throughout the course of the expansion, etc.    Also a friendly note that just because you see it here doesn't mean it will be changed or added - and this topic is not an indication of future feature deve...

Profession Opinions

IMHO, spend your first points for herbalism or mining in 40 into [ botany ] or 35 into [ mining process ] so that you can gather while mounted.  I hate that the skinning trainer is standing immediately behind one of the leatherworking tables. I am constantly clicking on them.  I 100% agree with everyone that says the fishing profession needs a hat slot. We may need a secondary equipment slot for toons with a fishing ring.  I wish the crafting orders system worked 'better'. To complete "# of (profession) crafting orders" quests, my default is to go to my bank toon, and order low-level items. Gimme 3 bolts of cloth, or 2 handfuls of bolts, or 3 'profession equipment'. I sort of wish that when I specify a personal order, I could see their available recipes. Oh, look my hunter can make ___, lets's order 3 of those? My bank toon could order profitable items, not just garbage fillers.  Leveling engineering is dreadful. Creating 1 middle-level item, requires 1 ra...
