Hey everyone. I’ve recently returned, just a few days ago and was able to get to level 120 from 110 on 4 characters right before Korraks Revenge finished. Ended up being really nice. I have started Nazjatar and gotten through a lot of the quests in the past 2 days and im almost honored at this point.
My question is regarding essences. Every guild I have looked at is recruiting only classes with (x,y,z) essences of (x,y,z) rank. This is fine and all, but after doing my research, several of these essences of the ranks required to be relevant nowadays in Mythic + and raiding will take me several weeks to months (per character) to obtain, even if you use the reputation increases that are now Account Bound.
Are essences going to be in the future of WoW (Shadowlands for example)? I just need to know, that Blizzard isn’t intending on deprecating them upon launch of Shadowlands? I do love this game and I am willing to do the grind. However, it is absolutely not worth the next 6-8 weeks of grinding every day for these essences, if they will just disappear in Shadowlands. I would much rather just wait until the next expansion to get serious in the Mythic + and raiding scene if that is the case, and just focus on the less serious aspects of the game until then.
Thanks for your time and I hope you have a great day.
