PeakCraft Podcast

As we recorded this episode of the podcast, Echo was showing the world the true power of Plagueborers in the Great Push. Wow. This week on the show, our hosts Anomoly and emallson chat about the Great Push tournament (and why it is better than the MDI), the recently-tested Sylvanas Windrunner encounter, and the newly datamined Anima Power Mythic+ Affix.

This week’s show was streamed on Twitch and is also available on YouTube. You can catch the show live at 1:30pm Eastern Time on Sundays over at https://twitch.tv/emallson.

The long-awaited Monk legendaries (and Mistweaver buffs!!!) have finally appeared on the PTR! This week on the podcast, our hosts emallson and Anomoly dive into how they work, what they're good for, and whether they seem likely to unseat any of the current BiS legendaries. Anomoly also breaks down the Mistweaver changes (turns out the Revival change is very good!)

Yup, you heard that right. Anomoly himself has asserted that Mistweaver will never get Healing Spheres again, and certainly not in 9.1. This week, Anomoly and emallson spend the show speculating on what will be in 9.1 (definitely not Healing Spheres), alongside an extended discussion of WoW's open world...problems.
