Really sad to see Zen Flight lose some of its features in Legion. Can you explain the reasoning for this? :(

No changes intended, aside from being learned via a book instead of a glyph. If you're seeing any, please report the bug!

Turalyon’s Might was inconsistent with the Paladin fantasy. Instead, we're offering Divine Steed to Retribution via talents.

For Legion Brewmaster, will Haste reduce the recharge times of Ironskin and Purify in addition to increasing energy regen? Because I've seen that Haste is reducing recharge times on other tank AM abilities.

Possibly; we're still deciding. Haste does give you more Tiger Palms, which give you more Brews, but that's relatively minor.

Is Enrage's duration/Rampage extension's for Fury being decreased by haste intended or a bug?

It does look odd, but it's necessary to ensure that Haste doesn't change the rotation (or create gigantic haste breakpoints).

So Judgement can get to 100% uptime with haste, but enrage has to be demolished by haste? I'm a little confused.


The haste breakpoints caused by fitting additional GCDs within that sort of short very powerful buff are a significant issue. Judgment and Colossus Smash will be adjusted to solve this as well.

I need 750 Honor for the next levels. Will this stay till 50? So you would need 35-40k Honor. Sounds ok to me.


The amount of honor per level increases every 10 levels. At the moment, going from 1-50 takes 50,000 honor. Leveling through the honor system is a point of emphasis for us right now, so we are open to feedback!
