A few months ago I promised that you'd be able to run your BC Classic healing character through QE Live on day one of the expansion. It was a photo finish, but today both QE Live and QE dungeon tips go live with full BC support. For me this has been a really exciting combination of exploring old theorycrafting and writing new stuff for a game that is similar to Retail WoW in many ways, and completely different in others. It also made me miss tier sets a lot so if Blizzard could get on that fo...

Hall of Fame
Moving forward I'd like to increase the number of patron rewards offered to thank you all for making QE possible but I'd like to avoid restrictive paywalls wherever possible. Both QE Live and QE Dungeon tips will soon have a Hall of Fame module where all patrons and contributors can display their favorite character. This is completely opt-in and you can do so here: https://forms.gle/jpg...

Shadowlands is live, and with it, some big Questionably Epic updates.
QE Live Revamped

The QE Live BFA engine held up incredibly well through BFA, with Azerite, Essences, and Corruption all seeing implementations. By the end it did feel like it was starting to reach it's limit, in speed and in possible future functionality. I'm happy to announce an ent...

I can't believe how close we are to 8.3! The new patch brings a replacement for Titanforging in "Corruptforging". I've put together an in-depth look at each of the effects so that you're ready for patch day. They've done a reasonably good job of balancing these and outside of a few outliers you're likely to wear whatever Corruption drops for you in the first few weeks.

Happy New Year! I can't thank you all enough for sticking with me and the site the past 12 months. What started as a way for Resto Druids to compare two azerite pieces has grown into a multi-spec, multi-function gearing tool and it wasn't possible without you. We're going to continue into 2020 with new, deeper, easier ways to look at your characters in Classic, BFA and soon Shadowlands. Now, on with the new stuff.

Ny'alotha drops a huge number of healing trinkets and I've written an in-depth breakdown on how they currently sit. Sadly no fantastic DPS options at this point for all of the battle-healers out there. They usually do a tuning pass toward release but they've done a reasonable job at the outset this time so we might not see the same large swings. They're also in QE Live now for all patrons so that you can start comparing them with what you already have. Let me know what you think!

What an exciting month. 8.2 finally gave us some solid content to do outside of raid and now Classic has drawn more players back to the game than I ever believed possible.
QE Live for WoW Classic
Speaking of Classic, would a tool like QE Live be useful to you as you start to approach max level on your Druid, Paladin, Priest or Shaman? Please get in touch if this is something you'd like (or respond to this post). It would likely include all gear above ...

The three part Essence series finishes with an in-depth look at Ever-Rising Tide along with a few generic stat procs like Worldvein Resonance and Ripple in Space. You'll find the article here: https://questionablyepic.com/patron-preview-essences3/ and the password this month is tide.
New to QE Live in 8.2: Essences

8.2 is starting to draw very close (two weeks time is my guess)! This is going to be a big one. Two new zones, new raid, new dungeon, new gearing system.
Part 2 of the Essences break-down is now available to all patrons. This time we look at Vision of Perfection, PVP essence Conflict and Strife and starter essence Crucible of Flame. The third and final part will drop next week and then we can look at what combo's we might be running in the first few weeks of patch...

Resto Shaman is now available for beta testing for Diamond+ patrons. It will go live for the greater community in about two weeks time if nothing is amiss. You can add a Shaman to the app by hitting the + button under your characters and selecting "Restoration Shaman" from the box.
All features are available including Gear Compare and the new Trait Analysis. I've also snuck speed increases into the update for all users. Coming up next are a few articles to make sur...

Trait Analysis is a new feature that adds an extra level of depth to the results you're given. QE Live always provided accurate, easily accessible results but it lacked a way to dig deep and work out where the power in each trait was coming from. You'll get a full breakdown on every trait and it works with your logs too.
Trait Analysis is live now as a beta feature for all Diamond & Rolls Royce supporters and supports both raid and Mythic+ as well as all optimizatio...

8.2 brings with it a new progression path within the Heart of Azeroth itself. If they tune and develop these right they could be the most exciting thing to launch so far in BFA. They definitely aren't quite there yet on the PTR but there's so much potential. This article covers the four most significant healer essences and part II next week will cover the other half which are mostly stat procs.

Use Quick Compare to find out what your best items are. You'll usually wear your highest ilvl gear in non-azerite and trinket slots and while that's often the right decision, sockets and leech can make it much trickier. When Crucible releases you'll also be juggling special effect items in multiple slots. Quick Compare hopefully makes all of that trivial by flat out telling you which pieces are best. You can also import all of your gear at once with SimC import strings (this is coming to Trin...

Knowing your best Azerite combo is incredibly useful, but often times you might be interested in a little more detail. How far ahead is your best setup compared to the next best? How big an upgrade is it over what you're currently wearing? Hitting the Report button after a compare will give you a much more in depth breakdown featuring your top five Azerite combinations.
This is live now for all patrons, and will go live for all other players in two week...
