Why on earth would you nerf BM when it was already terrible? Or is it an oversight that it got collateral nerfed by MM?
.That Kill Shot change has an extremely trivial (Celestalon)
Problem is BM was already low.
.It's difficult to say anything conclusive (UP or not) about a spec that only 1-3% of hunters play in raids. (Celestalon)

You realize Gladiator is still ahead of both arms and fury on ST right? Fury is close, though.
It's almost as if that was the goal... (WatcherDev)

PvP
Changing previous tweet: Looking for feedback on extra damage debuff to tank flag carriers IN RBGs. Too much? Too little? Just right? (holinka)
FYI: In RBGs only, tanks take extra damage when carrying the flag. They do not in normal battlegrounds. (holinka)

Seems like the pvp scene is lacking control of balance changes this expansion.
All hotfixes aren't released at once. (holinka)

Lore
Morning Dave, is it possible to be both undead and demon? For example, Xavius died and his disembodied soul was separated from
Lorewise, I think so. In game terms we choose one or the other for mechanics reasons (shackle undead, etc!) (DaveKosak)

Garrisons
Even with a barracks and level 3 inn, a person with only lvl100 followers often ends up with ZERO missions.
The intent was to taper off missions as you leveled so it felt like you had to check in less, but were more rewarded (1/2) (Muffinus)
In retrospect, missions are probably more fun than anticipated, it's good feedback, we hear you. (Muffinus)

Mythic Ko'ragh Kill Video
While we wait for a Imperator Mar'gok, we can take a look at this close kill by Avast. An Arms Warrior point of view is also available.
