I will post this in every WoW Classic thread until I find a Pally who wants to poopsock with my Warlock to level 60 on a PvP server. Shooting for 60 within the first week of launch, minimum. Practicing on Northdale for now. I thought finding other nolifers on Yea Forums would be easy, wtf???
>BfA is garbage.
>Most people hate it.
>It's been confirmed all the important WoW players like Swifty, Kungen and Towelliee will be moving to Classic.
>Future is uncertain for retail.
Anyone else worried about this? I'm feeling a massive population drop in BfA in favor of Classic.
We've known retail was on an irreversible decline for a long time. The fact blizzard gave up and decided to jump ship only made the inevitable slightly faster.
Stop
not worried at all, classicfags killing wow would be top tier & worth
This thread would look better with warriors being BTFO

Retail is going to take a big hit, my prediction is that Blizz will only release total sub numbers not differentiating from Retail to Classic. The true gauge will be the first expansion after Classic. Blizz can't hide sales numbers, and I predict it will be a sharp decline from BfA.
I've said it earlier and I'll say it again

Party at fucking moonglade bruhs
You must have played in Vanilla and been rightfully shat upon in favor of a real main tank. Seriously man you must be so butt hurt and have nursed it for like 15 years. It's not healthy to be this autistic....
Absolutely fucking based
Absolutely fucking seething
I'm tempted to roll a warlock, I'm committed to farming shards and making portals... Is there anything else I should know?
>Shooting for 60 within the first week of launch, minimum
Not possible. The records on every server I played on were usually 7-8 days played, and it was always by hunters who got banned the next day when blizzard found out IPs from all over the globe were signing into it, taking shifts to level it up fast. If the fastest class in the game being played by a group of speedrunning poopsockers couldn't do it, a pair of people splitting XP in a group and having to grind double quest drops sure as hell won't.
Ah yes 'nilla the time when 99.2% of the community didn't know how to play the game.
That they are best on horde, and you pretty much kill anyone pvp if you play right, like they don't have a prayer if you use ur brain
>Not possible
If private servers anywhere near blizzlike, the world record is a little over 3 days played. Joana's record is 4 days played.
Man I play a lock. And my Pally was always ret. I don't tank. I did however raid in Vanilla and we never used a drood tank in progression. It was always Aces in Their Places. That meant no bears and no oomkin. Heals yes but never a tank. Just fact you can not compete with a warrior of same equip and skill level. You would be out tanked 10/10.
"Sorry Warrgin, we've decided to replace you with a druid tank."
>What the fuck?!? NO NO NO Yea Forums TOLD ME ONLY WARRIORS ARE ALLOWED TO TANK IN VANILLA PLEASE NO
"Its too late. The rest of the guild has already decided that bear tanks are vastly superior. I'm afraid we're going to have to bench you."
>NOOOOOO I SPENT TWO MONTHS LEVELING SO I COULD TANK PLEASE TAKE ME WITH PLEEEEAAASE I'LL DO ANYTHING

This is true. The girl who made me play wow with her (and suggested I roll warrior) for 5 years dumped me for a druid.
she then dumped him for a death knight, and then dumped him for a guy who plays FFXIV
Hopefully it will make Blizz release a decent expac

Druids produce so much testosterone with their oversized bear balls that they basically have to go AFK to lose threat against a warrior. Patchwerk is the only fight Druids will let a warrior get threat and of course it's just for hateful strikes.

Still doesn't detract from Joana's record which was some 4 days, on a Blizzard server during vanilla. You don't know what you're talking about if you honestly think 7-8 days played is the fastest.

reminder that druid tanks are only good on farm content. on progression you always want to bring a tank warrior.
I didn't say it was the fastest, just the fastest I've seen. I doubt someone looking for another user on Yea Forums to be their healbot is world record material, so I compared it against what I'd seen myself.
>>Will buff every player I pass and save any warrior bros I meet along the way (Lets be honest how many warriors/rogues go into fights way in over their head)
a true bro. i've been saved by a healer so many times while leveling on private servers. always a top tier bro move when it happens and I will forever remember the name. if they are ever looking for a group i will invite immediately no matter what
>non spec
>worst pure DPS only brought for tranq
>best DPS and best Tank in the game
Not sure.
you guys gotta remember that only the turbo neckbeards spend time grinding on a private server. these are the 1% that are going to min/max the fuck out of leveling to speed past it while the other 99% will be comfy people who build friendships along the way.
*tips arcane intellect at you*
*accidentally freezes a melee by farting*
I never said I was going for World Record. Under 5-7 days played is more than doable. If Joana got 4 days all the way back in Vanilla, I'm inclined to believe that 3 day runs are possible now that the game has been out for 12+ years to theorycraft. I'm not sure about Nost, but I know that Light's Hope has relatively accurate experience rates. I'm just practicing speed leveling until classic comes out. Already pretty comfortable zooming through 1-20 in 9-10 hours.
Learn how patches works first m8
I see very clearly how it works. The druid sits in the back jacking it to furry porn, while the based warrior carries the day.
What a pointless argument. Rushing the content of the game is moronic no matter how you do it.
Enjoy rushing to 60 then realizing you ruined the game for yourself and getting bitter about it :^)
Minmaxers dont 'play' WoW, they just seek epeen status, they are also generally more depressed, miserably people with no social lives or ability to even talk in games. People who take weeks or even months to level are the only real WoW players.

So I'll say the time to beat when classic drops will be 4 days, because like I said earlier, I think Joana's original time is going to be surpassed. I will be very happy with anything around 5-6 days played. A day behind the leader is a lot of fucking time. As a Warlock this is entirely doable. That being said, I guess I'll be more aiming to hit 60 before the first 10 days have passed, rather than the first week.
Scarab Lord no question. Everything else is obtainable in your own time but Scarab Lord is aids and god forbid you are on a server with a popular streamer.
Yes, one per raid is very viable and actually very meta in high end guilds.
DPS is viable if you're willing to spend 4-5 hours autism farming every raid.
taladril youve always been an irrelevant meme in every guild youve ever been in
imagine fucking raiding with problazer lmfao
does no one play on lightbringer? or is there just a faction imbalance? there's like no one in any horde cities and trade chat is completely dead.
tried northdale and it had the exact opposite problem.
Everyone plays on Northdale. Lightbringer is there to see how fast you can level solo.
Rank 14. At the end of the day, Scarab Lord confers no advantages besides bragging rights. I'm not going to have the will to grind for Rank 14. 11-12 is the farthest I could see myself going.
Scarab Lord no question
>Everything else is obtainable in your own time but Scarab Lord
You will never get R14 on most servers, unless you do an inhuman amount of grinding.
What is the point of playing an MMO if it's not for bragging rights?
Benji here.
As far as RMT goes Scarab Lord is worth the most. Rank 14 is worth 1/3rd of a scarab lord, and as a scarab lord do you get the admiration and support of the guild that got it for you? If so that's the Chad option right there.
24 hour headstart COULD mean you could infinitely control the AH though which is really powerful but you'd be nolifing the AH round the clock for months. Not worth it.
How late do you plan to stay up the first day? I plan to poop sock it and I also plan to play paladin.
The only thing is that I've never leveled on alliance and I don't have much time to practice before launch because of work.
Scarab Lord is literally a fraction of the time required for R14.
Honestly I think this is still based.

Instant 60 and gank everyone.
They have more hp and armor, but can taje crits and crushes. Also worse at holding AoE threat with no threat booster sapper charges and grenades. No good defensive cooldowns so enrage phases or massive speed AoE pulls are much more lethal. No fear break means they need fear ward for certain fights.
However their single target threat is supreme, and does not require wearing gimped mitigation gear. They also start strong and reach armor cap early and don't steal gear. Overall they're worse for progression, but better for farmed content for higher raid DPS cap. In addition their threat and rage generation is still great without being targeted, so they can keep 2nd threat on untauntable bosses so when the MT dies you start tanking instead of the melee being the next 10 on threat.
probably like 12 hours. I can get to lvl 22 in 12 hours easily been practicing on private servers.
22 should be enough to get past all the plebs and even if I sleep for a good 6 hours I will still be ahead
headstart every day
Some cringy tripfag who wants to be an e-celeb. Ignore him
Is that with playing gnome or human? I'm going human so we wouldn't share starting zone if you're gnome and as far as I know human is the worst start.
Sorry, but THIS is my home
Honestly not really and even then they are niche on some fights and require a lot of gear to make work. They won't be tanking BWL or MC near the start of the game for one. Also no one will take you seriously if you try pull this stunt so don't even bother considering it
Rank 14 has more tangible benefits than Scarab Lord.
I'm not,
But I am the guy you originally replied to. Shit man, I wouldn't be surprised if I stayed up the entire day. I would be up for practicing on Northdale sometime. If anything we could just focus on zooming through 1-10 for that head start advantage. Not sure how effective duo leveling is after 20 or so.
If you are pushing content they are pretty garbage. They might be fine when it's on farm status but at that point no one really cares since everyone outgears the content. You wont be accepted as a tank in the bulk majority of guilds in otherwords
I'd rather brag about my Epic PvP set that lets me 1 shot undergeared people, than a mount. Don't forget that the actual Scarab Lord title was added in TBC.
lol
The entire point of classic is to boost numbers - period. They won't differentiate between retail and classic players, and they don't need to because shareholders don't give a fuck about the specifics. They'll see an increase in "World of Warcraft" players which is all they care about. Nu-Blizzard doesn't give a fuck about what the players do or what they want. If classic doesn't pan out it just gives them more time to plan their next scheme to raise numbers, if it does pan out they spend less money and time developing BFA since classic runs itself.
He said in his stream she doesn't want e-celeb status he just wants friends to play with and has no idea how to achieve that.
Some rando kid keeps begging him to go alliance every stream and he won't do it.
>Not going Dwarf for instant respect, chill bro status and sweet sweet stoneform
You aren't get Rank 14 unless you're a NEET who plays wow 14-16 hours a day 7 days a week. It's not even a skill based achievement
Rank 14. Free ebins. Scarab Lord is useless except for being a cool spriest mount.
Reminder Rank 14 literally means nothing except you have no life and don't work. A literal monkey could get the rank if they could spin in circles in a bg 24 hours a day
reminder that if you play on a server with someone like esfand, asmongold, tipsout or some other shitty meme classic streamer, they will be guaranteed scarab lord without ever doing anything as their cronies will literally fill every hive and farm every bug for them
No diplomacy though. It's by far the most underrated racial in the game, saves you so much time.
Nobody said it meant shit, retard. Doesn't change the fact that the epic PvP set is an objective advantage.
These are true. In the very early days of WoW (BWL progression) not a lot of people pushed R14 so you could do it in a month or so after hitting rank 10.
when warriors shield block, they are immune to crushing hits. They can also parry. Druids do not have these mechanics, they can either dodge an attack or get hit.
And?
I hate the horde niggers, i don't want to play on the ooga booga faction. All my friends are rolling horde. Why did i make so many mistakes...
not if the server pulls together to ding gong 2 days ahead and cucks them forever
Can't you read? I never played a warrior.
Rank 14. It's an entire gear set of broken items that you don't even really have to replace to be relevant in all raids. Replace an item here and there and you're on your way to Naxx.
Because you get to feel special user, very special
Shut the fuck up, you ungrateful dick sneeze. I wish my guild was going horde. I wish I could be a chad Orc instead of a fucking MIDGET GNOME FUCKKKKKKKKKKK
t. analy anguished warrior
all my friends want to play alliance so i won't play with them. they can fuck themselves. no-shoes
It's literally impossible to go from rank 10-14 in 4 weeks. Why do you people post about shit you know nothing about?
Based. This was my life, based 2h tanking
Why would you rather be a ORC DINDU rapefugee? Are you one of those self-loathing white-adjacent Americans?
no shoes
I'm actually black so it's fitting.
It was when everyone on the server is pushing BWL and NOT giving a fuck about PvP.
How can Drucucks ever recover??!
>he just wants friends
>has no idea how to achieve that
Don't we all
No. It wasn't. That isn't how the ranking system works.
Oh. Well carry on then.
I'm going to get drunk and high while playing on Northdale tonight. What beer do I buy?
Drucucks BTFO put me in the screencap
As if that's a possibility.... At least with classic they have the actual 1.12 client for reference. Hopefully they can plagiarise themselves well enough to keep Classic comfy.
You'd think warriorkids would know how bosses work.

What alchemy level is needed to make hormones? Asking for my alt haha.
Uugghhhhh we get it you are gay. Let it go it doesn't make you special.
Druids, either pacifist cows taking orc dick and doing what they're told, or matriarchal fuccbois getting bossed around by stonk women.
Maybe you will be able to offtank one or two bosses, IF you farm gnomer enough. And only IF the guild master is pleased with your dicksucking skills.

Haha gee i was wondering as well, for a friends alt lol he has a skin condition haha j/k pls answer though
Yeah it was. #1 honor gainer on each faction was the one to hit rank 14 from rank 13.

Benji, this is embarrassing please stop.
Technically Barbarous Blade is a fine weapon for warriors and shammies.

Can I get a source on that
I usually play a caster so whatever man....
Stop replying to him so he goes away.
It really is funny how the average persons opinion is, "the game is solved, there is no challenge or difficulty because there are guides for everything!" This in an of itself is true, but you can tell from these threads and especially the classic wow blizzard forums is that the average player on classic is going to have literally zero fucking idea what is going on and it'll be hilarious to see most people struggle through MC and BWL. 95% of the people in this thread right now absolutely will not kill Cthun if they even stick around that long.
So what
No one is going to be struggling through MC user
>the game is solved, there is no challenge or difficulty because there are guides for everything!
What gets me is that's literally retail raiding if you aren't one of the world first guilds. I mean, for 95% of raiders they'll already have a pro strat by the time they get to the content, it's no different from Vanilla.
who the fuck wants to play horde
literal mudhut niggers eating KFC in their designated nigger KFC huts in the middle of every zone (complete with every vendor, more quests then alliance and FP ofc oh and sometimes there is even a zeppelin or free transport thrown in) while chimping on anything that moves in numbers only despite rolling for pvp racials but never actually 1v1ing to use them
then porting into their literal mudhut nigger KFC city called "orgrimmar" more like ogreshit lol blizzard literally took some somalian shithole town and copy pasted it into wow to give that authentic nigger feel to the faction le monster races br0 check out these NO SHOES so whacky better name myself something fucking retarded like boogerbones to fit in btw get owned kid totally bg queued out of that 1v1 close one

MC is not hard user, stop running with shiters
How do non-undead s. priests do? I know devouring plague was memes.
I hope there is never a guild from this site. Especially Yea Forums or /pol/.
What he's saying is that most people are shitters, which includes the average mouth breather browsing Yea Forums
I never played a priest seriously back then. Warlock though for sure if you want to dps. Priest oom bad in shadow. I watched them bottom out often. Lifetap OP.
Retailfags won't even get to 60 lol.
But yeah, idiots thinking they can just LFR zerg rush down bosses in MC are in for a rude awakening. Especially the more casual raids that try to treat it like 'easy early game content' and barely do any preparation or pre-pull strategizing. Just imagine some pug getting to Sulfuron and trying to AoE tank him and all of his guards together.
Trust me you don't want the alternative. When it releases Just join the Yea Forums guild and have fun. MMO communities aren't like they used to be.
Smartest guy in the thread, well meme'd
>bunch of videos on youtube talking about how warrior is the best dps in classic

>follow max level talent guide

>they ether quit or go rogue
I can imagine this happening on a huge scale. Expect the rogue population to be huge
Do you care about 1v1s or group pvp?
Grace of Air+Flametongue is objectively superior.
Grinding in secluded areas as rogue (back of caves, etc.) is safer, exp / hr is STABLE. When you're running around the world turning in quests you're getting zero. A quest reward is the equivalent to killing 10-30 mobs depending on quest difficulty. Grinding is better financially as well. Rogues double dip due to pickpocketing mobs before they kill them. Rogues are top single target DPS and can wipe out entire camps of enemies, especially with bleed kiting.
Watching his streams he wasted an hour turning in quests cause it wanted him to go to Booty Bay for Warsong axe shipment, got feared off a boat by a warlock cause he just HAD to pick fights on the boat. (He did kill two though, amusingly enough.) and had to swim back to Ratchet from orc starting zone, got killed by a 60 hunter, so he missed five boat cycles all in all before doing it. He tried dungeoning, ended up with a warlock that was doing 5% dps despite outleveling the dungeon by four levels and had all the best BoE blues for his level. (The healer literally out DPS'd him.) with tard tanks and snoozing heals as well. I think BFD took over 2 and a half hours.
If he was just constantly grinding that entire time he'd have gotten way ahead, even with gold and drops.
His 1-40 grind wasn't streamed but in the image you can see he had so much moolah that he was burning it power leveling trade skills and still had tons left over at 40. Mount + 40g spillover.
>Expect the rogue population to be huge
Everyone knows 1.12 rogues suck though.
MOOOOOOOOOOOODS SEND THESE NIGGERS BACK TO /vg/
Going to make a mage on a comfy PvE server and a rogue on a PvP server.

Give me your # so I can call you in the morning. Cause you just got FUCKED.
They got nerfed really hard, they're not awful by any means but nowhere near where they were in previous vanilla patches.
If blizzard did a progressive patch release you'd be right but if its 1.12 then warriors will forsure be more popular, not to mention most people spout the "you'll never get a raid slot as a rogue meme" and people avoid them for that reason.
yeah damn you got us, we are shills. thanks for the free bump though, kiddo.
just realized first week(s) are gonna be so cancer. im more of a casual player and i can already imagine the fucking hell it will be for me to just level till 20 at least
I want to raid as either an arms warrior or hunter. Why must I like retarded things?
>The absolute state of droods
>ignores all but one point, hoping to cherry pick his way out of the cuck shed
but on your dress and heal bitch
If the wow general is anything to go buy itll never end. There will always be retards addicted to that game and molding their life around it no matter how bad it gets.
Every private server rogue pretty much just grinds and does the rare occasional quest.
As far as gear upgrades goes that warsong axe quest is good boots but not worth going across the world to complete.
I get that the streamer is a self aware brainlet as he calls himself and grinding works for him but for everyone else just use a leveling guide if you aren't rogue or warrior and you can get ahead of the pack easy.
Are shammies really that popular? Might go warlock then.

Just don't go Horde. Choose shoes.
he is going to shit on your at every point in the game due to having a massive lead at endgame content
even if the early content is bad, having been there and helping clear and gear others will be a big argument for his guild to give him what he wants when the shit drops
i've played on emerald dream, kronos 1, nostalrius, kronos 2, elysium, lights hope and chinkdale, with more than 1 60 on each on average
the game is going to be seperated into the shitters, and the elite, whom shits. i've seen it all too often.
i'm hoping to be a great beacon in denmark, leading another raid guild to and past bwl as human or orc warrior.
>the most efficient way of raiding as a shaman is to stop four totems slowly and then drop the other four so the bluffs stack and them rinse and repeat
>literally 90% of your gameplay endgame is dropping totems
The only fun way to play shaman is to go enhancement and delete people in pop with lolfury 2h strikes
BASED GAAAAANG DRUIDS WIN AGAIN
holy fucking based
There's not a lot of classes that are good at pvp/easy to gear and easy to play.
Paladin is really all there is.
Shadow is however easy to gear and play, I played one on nost and it was really fun you don't need much gear just some dungeon gear and crafted blues will let you roll over t2 geared players 1v1. Group pvp though, you're useless as fuck and go oom after one maybe two kills.
Hunters are somewhat easy to play and very very easy to get enough gear for PvP but they have a decently high skill ceiling. But if you can click on viper sting everyone will think you're an amazing player in group PvP.
Warlocks are easy to gear but you'll have an awful time til you have enough stamina to survive rogues, and most other classes will roll over you if you're not half decent at the class.
Mages are really easy to get into and play but they have a decent skill ceiling for 1v1s, they're also a pain in the ass to gear.
Shamans are easy to play and easy to gear but Ele doesn't shine until t2.5 and enh is one of the biggest memes in vanilla.
Warrior is easy to play if you have a priest heal bot but also hard to gear since 1/4th of the server will be warriors.
Druids are very easy to gear but have a very high skill cap.

They're a bit less popular at 60.

That's a lot of reading man, but we already have warrior tanks. We have room if you wanna heal tho.
enjoy spamming farie fire because a warrior has better things to waste his superior rage on sunder

More like 20 hours per day for 3 months. Shit is actually unhealthy.

I've already been home at Kronos. If my finances get better, I'll play Classic WoW.

Fuck off retail fag. All rogues need to do is show up and they get top parses, even when warriors begin to outscale everyone rogues still show up 2nd.

They have no serious competition on what they do well.
His fat gf sat on his face and snapped his neck,
The worst thing about them is that you will be competing with a billion other mages for raid drops, that's probably it.
Steam shows Dead by Daylight, double blood points and he plays with his gf. She wagecucks so 2x days off a week I assume. Or maybe just burnout? Doing 1-40 over and over is autismal and boring.
7-8 days is the average time it should take someone who isn't tryharding or trying to be efficient, even then it's slow by current standards
>get 60 early
>massive early gear advantage
>cherry pick literally any guild you want
>headstart on ranking grind because you get to farm fresh 60s while you have full preraid bis
Sure man he's just straight up ruining the game for himself, enjoy getting farmed by morons who rushed 60
F...fuck you man, just let me have this, let me tank 5 mans, let me tank UBRS, let me tank Molten Core, let me tank Zul'Gurub, let me tank man, I don't want to go back in line with the million other fury warriors. I just can't take this. DELETE THIS, DELETE THIS NOW BEFORE DRUIDS TAKE MY JOB AND RUIN MY CLASSIC EXPERIENCE, THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN ON RETAIL, NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO!
That depends on class.
That's what made it great. There was still a sense of mystery. It hadn't all been datamined and reduced to meta and reading wiki pages.

Sorry man, but uh you furies just take too much that others could use and you're just kinda trying to take all gear for your "offspecs". Like we can't really afford another fury. Again im real sorry about this man
Yup. Being in front of the pack is honestly what really matters for uninterrupted leveling. I'd keep out of potentially populated areas if I were you.
I love you man.
We can only hope

Death coil is ur fren
u mad bro
Is shadow priest fun to play in vanilla?
no
yeah u can pretty much blow anyone up right quick
Only if you roll Troll
It's fun but raids wont want you and premades would rather you be holy, you'll have a lot of fun in phase 2 world pvp tho
They own in PVP but have mana issues, those same mana issues make them mediocre in PVE and often aren't really viable in raids with the exception of bringing one to shadow weave for warlocks
>classes that are interesting or different like Shaman and Druid blow in-game
>the most thematically boring and uninspired classes like Mage are great
lame ass blizzard
>>classes that are interesting or different like Shaman and Druid blow in-game
Both of those classes are amazing, are you high?
DRUIDCHAD RISEUP
I'm gonna assume you were replying about my first point, every class can get 60 in 7-8 days pretty comfortably. Even warriors can do it in 5 fairly casually so long as you're decent
>7-8 days is the average time it should take someone who isn't tryharding or trying to be efficient
And he wants to be 60 less than a week after the server launches, along with a healer he'll be splitting xp and quest items with
oh god...maybe I was wrong about Druchads...OH GOD I'm even calling them chads now!
>often aren't really viable in raids with the exception of bringing one to shadow weave for warlocks
How often does this occur?
I mean if I'm gonna play priest I don't mind having to heal but it would be cool to stay shadow all the time.
>tfw Warlock chad
>1.12
>Scarab Lord
Not topping DPS or healing meters =/= bad.
I'm more interested in having a group partner for 1-10 or 1-20. I was comparing my times to two friends who were practicing duo times, and duos really do have the advantage in 1-10. They move through the questing hubs much quicker, which creates space.
Seeing as they're hybrid classes they're out performed by any other pure class at their chosen role.
Do you like never losing 1v1s? except to warlocks lol
I wasnt really defending him but desu getting 60 in the first week is pretty regular for top end players these days. I'm not sure about duo leveling so I cant really comment on the xprates
Their main drawback is that they can't get defense capped, which is a really dangerous RNG element being introduced to raids. They start off weaker, but will ultimately outscale warrior tanks in other areas.
Cat has bad gear options til AQ, because shapeshift forms don't use weapon damage, only raw stats. It will never be top DPS even then, but becomes much better. They, along with bears, can also give a crit buff to your party.
I've always heard balance has mana issues holding it back, but even if it didn't, it would have threat issues instead. Boomkin gives a spell crit buff to the party. You will be mostly limited to starfall spam, because moonfire chews up a precious debuff slot, and wrath deals nature damage (which can't benefit from warlock curses). Nature damage really sucks in vanilla.
Healers are kinda iffy. Their HoTs don't stack with other druids, which limits the number of dedicated druid healers you can make full use of.
Idk why it added the desu there, on my phone but I literally never say wtf
Based and redpilled
>Kalimdor vs Eastern Kingdoms
show me your ways senpai
But this isn't retail, theres more than pure numbers to consider. Also feral tank is actually really good if you know what you're doing
If you want to do something other than heal ever the choice is basically Druid. The 0/30/21 point build gets most of what Healing Touch spam Restos need other than 10% healing, but in exchange you're getting 20% more int from Heart of the Wild, and have most of the core tanking talents other than 10% damage from Balance.
>t. newfag
How big of a fag am I that the only reason I dont play a druid is that I want to see my l33t gear all the time, and not when I'm just doing nothing
We brought one along for raids on Lightshope and they were ok. If you use consumes like mana potions and runes you will be fine on 99% of fights early on. Its when you get to shit like AQ/NAXX that you mana issues really start to show since fights last longer during progression. I wouldnt say its uncommon to take 1 though.
I'm in the same boat to be honest, so I play Shaman to hybrid it up.
*Hits you for 8K*
Since there are too many guides and people have been practicing on ILLEGAL private server, they're going to level too fast and ruin the true vanilla experience.
In order to keep things accurate and keep the rat race autists from tainting the server, xp/day should be hardcapped so it takes at least two months to level on launch.
No, Hwang, not all of us live under fascism, and are required to have our products artificially limited so we don't fall into a coma from malnutrition.
Can't get ganked on a pve server
Also depending on the guild you will have to wait in the back of the line for anathema so the healing priest can get their benediction. Just be cool about it and dont try to take other classes weapons. You get a neat epic for doing a healing mini game while other classes have to wait a while for a good drop. (Chest always drops leaf or eye) If your guild is cool they will help you.
Name a more comfy channel, i dare you
I can't, too many other vanilla channels have horrible accents or bad mics.
why is crowd pummeler so needed for druid tanks?
>needed
It's not but it can skyrocket them to the next level, even if they just use 1 charge (5 minutes worth of farming) per fight.
I can't wait for the game to drop. Mainly so I can go home, but also for these druid delusionist zoomers to get a dose of reality. Also Warlock is best class.
Frostadamus has a funny accent but his videos are pure comfy and really well edited.
Weapon DPS doesn't matter for feral forms. They added feral ATP items in later patches. Pummeler still does way more DPS than Atiesh.
I only watch him and Skarm Tank, and Madseason is definitely more comfy.
Madseason is dope. I dig his laid back style.
I god damn love that man
I welcome the Druid TPS chads to be quite honest with you lads. Only makes my life easier.
thats the helm fury warriors wear. prot wars dont wear that helm. which basically means in this image that some fury warrior went ham af and got 1 shot by patchwerk
>thats the helm fury warriors wear
No?
If you are playing Classic just to loot and show off the Black Scarab Mount, you are the reason this game will be shit
There is a video of the kill in this very thread you know
How would fury warriors even make use of their DPS in a raid environment? Wouldn't they constantly be threat capped?
Salv and good tanks. I don't think they would be as popular or prevalent in raids if they couldn't be utilized correctly.
What?
Dude that quest chain requires so much fucking effort, not to mention a guild helping you.
There are a lot of tryharding shit that makes the game shit but the AQ opening quest shit isn't one of them.
99.999% of the fags saying they'll get the mount are either shitposting or don't fully fathom how much goes into that quest chain.
>spams frostbolt
woah best class!
Warriors outside of defensive stance also have a 0.8x threat modifier.
So it's exclusively alliance, then. I wonder how many of the nu-wow babies will realize this before grinding their warrior all the way to 60.
>So it's exclusively alliance
what
>So it's exclusively alliance, then.
Not really. Horde just ride the line a lot closer. There are several videos of Horde Warriors also pumping in Naxx without threat reduction.
He mentioned blessing of salvation.
I'm just an Alliancefag that's all. Horde have an equivalent, I'm not sure if it's as commonly used though.
>may 4th
>still no release date in sight
they wouldn't cuck us like that, would they?
lmao @ people thinking the game is "solved". the fact that stuff is common knowledge and we have a lot of online resources does not translate to people being able to execute correctly and do what they need to to clear content.
In wotlk there were 1000 different youtube guides on how to clear every boss in ICC, there were the easiest catchup mechanics in wows history to be prepared to do the content, and heroic 25 LK was the only really hard fight in that raid, yet 99% of pugs wouldn't get past the first 4 bosses and like 90%+ of guilds didnt clear heroic lich king. on a given server, each faction would have 1, 2, or even 3 guilds if you were really lucky that would be deep into heroic ICC, and a handful of guilds that be slightly better than most pugs.
Now try getting another 15 people on board good enough to clear AQ40 and Naxx. It's laughable that people actually think endgame vanilla content is going to be a cakewalk for the community. A lot of people will clear MC, a good amount will clear BWL, ZG, and AQ20, but I seriously doubt each server is going to have a lot of people clearing AQ40 and Naxx.
typically you use grace of air instead but there's nothing stopping you from doing this if you have to
It would mean replacing the grace of air totem. I guess that could be overcome by putting a second shaman in the group, but that's only for that one group.
They probably don't want to commit to anything until they're absolutely sure the game is in a state that the community will (mostly) accept because they know all of the hyper-autists are going to pick the game/beta apart once they get their hands on it and they want to have time to cross their Ts and dot their Is.
They can twist, which isnt as common as the tryhard guilds make it sound but it does happen - often if they're using a melee shaman. Which i think sucks but if they're doing it right it's not so terrible for overall raid performance.
But you'd typically twist wf and agil, but yeah like the other user said you can sub tranq in as necessary. That's already higher IQ required than most memehancement are going to bring to the process so i'd be wary, and resto can twist as well (and could swing nf too if we're really meme'ing it up) but its a lot more obnoxious in my gay opinion. I'm sure some sweaty pserver tryhard would disagree and they may not even be wrong.
Either way i definitely wouldnt put a 2nd shaman in the group, you want to spread the totems around. I guess if you absolutely had to the world wont end but it wouldn't be ideal.
blizzard cuck here
games gonna be released on either July 18th or August 20th based on how the beta goes.
also, Lore is biggest fucker ive ever worked with, but due to nepotism he'll never get fired unless he does somethin real dumb
I honestly hope classic completely shits on retail and buries it forever. There needs to be some sort of reckoning or purge in WoW's development team to dispose of the countless deadweight employees who have parasitically attached themselves to the game.
Yeah that's kind of what I figured, thanks for clarifying.
Deathwisper is harder than most AQ40/naxx bosses.
Why the big disparity in the dates? And when is beta?
And at first i doubted you but Lore IS a fucker so you must be telling the truth.
Please give us more. The blazers are beating the nugs in the third quarter and i'm prepared to believe anything.
These threads are garbage
>we could have had mode comfy, master piece 5 man dungeons like BRD
>instead we get 40 man snooze fests
Raids were a mistake
Do you also think Mages are wothless as fire because they don't have Ice Block, so they can't drop aggro, and they do 1.0x threat, so they have to wand every fight? All classes can drink invulnerability potions also.
I think it will be super popular for 3 months then drop off just like the past 4 expansions... but here's hoping!
Why are you here, then?
Ice block doesn't dump aggro. It just makes them ignore you temporarily until it wears off. Same as invulnerability potions. They're an emergency button to buy you a couple seconds.
SwoleBenji here. Why not poopsock with a rogue?
lmao the blazers. im watching the game right now, lillard is the truth.
those dates are tentative based on how they feel about the beta, and are influenced by retail wows content release. they dont want to release too close to patch 8.2 cause its a huge content patch for retail, but shit could get pushed even to september if there are unexpected problems with the beta. i dont work on the wow team, i work on hots, but a lot of the hots team worked on OG wow and so i stay updated in the internal conversation cause they're all pretty excited to play classic.
Someone post the class and race roll chart.
I have a level 30 rogue in a private server. kind of want to just get him to 60 since i wont go rogue in classic.
How long would that realistically take, ignoring ganks? I know it isn't literally half way in terms of overall xp, believe thats 45ish.
what's the most populated vanilla server? i got to like level 23 on elysium but its kinda dead
I'm excited that Horde can't be Pally and Alliance can't be Shaman, used to feel like a nice point of difference for once. I look forward to that feeling again
if old school runescape is any indication at all, the game will stay popular for a long time. people like to point to all the content updates with old school runescape but the vast majority of their active playerbase don't even do most of that "endgame" content but they still play cause they love the game.
wow is way bigger, has had way more players, and has bigger reach so i wouldnt be shocked to see it last a long time. the biggest concern honestly is how loud the minmax autists become once they hit max and burn through all of the endgame content. they'll inevitably get bored much quicker than the other 99% of the playerbase so hopefully they arent so loud and annoying with their complaints that it ruins it for the rest of us.
but if the path retail took is any indication, these minmaxers are eventually going to fuck it over for all of us.
40 is half way as mount speed cuts down on travel.
45 is what a reddit cuck says.
4-5 days /played from 30-60 if you're casual, 1-2 if you're not.
Asymmetry is kino. Can't wait for Classic+ after Naxx with a permanent separation of Shaman/Paladin.
Let's say I decided to play a Night Elf instead of a Human, how much does this realistically impact my damage by missing out on, or needing to swap certain pieces of gear to attain weapon skill parity? Is there a rough % value you could assign to sword specialization?
Is there an indepth guide for druid tanking?
>Step 1. Roll a Druid and get to 60
>Step 2. Let a real tank, a warrior, take over
>Step 3. ???
>Step 4. Roll Resto
Have you ever seen that graph of the osrs pop over time? The game died shortly after the hype wore off until they started pumping out new updates

misplaceditems.com
at what point in time are you talking about? the only noticeable one i see is that upward spike when mobile got released
>people will actually try and grab 40 people for a mc raid when you can do it with 20 people that arent pants on head retarded
I have already
>that arent pants on head retarded
hey i analyzed your statement and found your problem
was referring to this one specifically
no that's me
You're horde. My guild is going Ally.
Just imagine all that cut content that never made it to retail.
We have SwoleBenji if you're horde and a rogue. Otherwise we ain't got /ourguy/
if you're pugging, tanks are always the hardest to find. 9 times out of 10 if someone has committed to being a tank, they're in a dedicated guild. finding random tanks who are geared and just wanting to pug randomly is harder than most people think
so how far in to classic will they announce it lads
yeah, that's my point.
druid tanking is awesome for 5mans, and im not saying druid tanks dont work out fine. Plus outside of the gnomer meme they aren't rough to gear.
But to main tank is different, guilds need someone reliable and you're typically the gm's friend IRL.
i just set up a private server for myself and no one else. i'm just soloing pve content for the fucking mindless grind and i'm not paying a fucking dime because it will come to the same head as it would if i were playing official classic servers, which is to say that it will get fucking boring as hell and i don't want to fucking have to co-operate with you fucking faggots for raids anyways.
honestly hope the no changes autists can eventually settle down a bit and we can just get classic+ instead of starting the whole going through all the xpacs thing
Classic needs to have two different queues for Alterac Valley. One that leads to the streamlined npc and quests removed 1.12 version, and one that leads to the 24hr+ AV Original.
Make the OG AV give rewards that scale linearly with the time invested, and reward players for participation even if they left before the end.
If they do, probably in the last phase.
i think thats a good point. more than that though, that's a really cool set of data. i am interested to see how well classic will do, but there is 1 big difference that will affect sub numbers in my opinion: the 6 phase content plan.
Sure we'll see a dip, because obviously the highest sub count will be at release. Everyone knows that, you're retarded if you think otherwise. But due to them already having this much content planned out to look forward to, I doubt it'll be anywhere near as steep as OSRS. OSRS was originally released without much promise as to how much or what kind of content was going to be released and that was a big factor as to why people didn't stick around for long, but have since started to come back again.
honestly you dont even need the MCP for 5 mans. druids can hold aggro fine there. raiding is where you run into trouble.
But they could potentially get more people to sub and play right away up til BC, because hardcore BC people will be like "fuck it, might as well play now." if they announce it like 1/3 or 1/2 way through.
Yeah for sure the allure of future content already laid out on the table will keep many more people around. I'm just concerned about the point after that if anything.
How does totem twisting work, and wouldn't it make me go out of mana amazingly quick?
If they do, it better be quarantined to its own servers. It was the start of the Quality of Lifening, and it raped the lore as well.
It wasn't ALL bad, a lot of positive things happened as well. But really there was just so much that I think did irreparable damage. Arenas were the worst from a gameplay perspective. Suddenly PvP needed to be E-Sport balanced. So that meant adding sham/pally to both sides, adding things like divine shield counters, giving out mortal strike effects to more classes, nerfing CC down to 5 seconds max no matter what, making a hard separation between PvE and PvP gear with resilience. And it just kept going until all the fun and unique things classes could do were things either everyone could do, or nobody could do.
just waiting for a new thread to drop druid pills desu
weapon buff totems give their effects for 10s even if the totems die, so drop wf totem then goa and your group has both buffs for the remaining 8s. use that window to refresh other totems, heal or interrupt or purge or just auto and regen mana.
putting that many totems down wouldn't drain my mana in a matter of seconds?
>Instant picked for everything
Tankbros we are GOING HOME.
>kungen
that dumb nigga shills new MMOs all the time and then abandons them
i dont think BC was really that "esports" about their PvP. I think WotLK was the era where that really started becoming a thing.
More than that though, what did they "rape" concerning the lore? I'm not a lorehead by any means but playing warcraft 3 and reading the novels and just following it loosely it didnt seem like they did anything that bad
>classic

I mean, you got mana spring too right

I don't really feel like going too deep, but a quick rundown is:
>Quel'thalas was supposed to be completely destroyed and ALL Blood Elves had fled to Outland
>Eredar were not Corrupt Draenei
>"Broken Ones" were a totally separate race that were Outland natives
>Kael, Vashj, and Illidan were all NOT EVIL and just fled Azeroth after facing various defeats and hardships
>There was no such thing as space ships or space travel, the burning legion wasn't from space, they were from the Twisting Nether which was more like the Warp from Warhammer, aka, another dimension.
>There was no such thing as brown orcs, orcs were just naturally green, and turned red only when ingesting demon blood
I want to go home.
I WANT TO GO HOME RIGHT NOW!
I know they probably won't, because we're based in a later patch, but I wish that at least for a week or so they would let shit like this get out of control again just for fun.

I tried testing some stuff on a private server and holy shit there are fucking bugs everywhere. Pathing is fucked on several fronts, quests are bugged, who knows what shit is bugged under the hood.
The races they brought in w/ the xpac (BE, Draenei) were already existing races within warcraft lore who's stories were retconned for BC content, most people think these retcons were unnecessary and also poorly handled.
thanks for the info man. ill look more into this. i definitely already knew about the draenei bullshit but this other stuff is interesting.
Wow really?
Classic is fucking dead.
fuck you warrniggers
thanks for that hot take that no one was aware of, my friend!
There are multiple formulas floating around, but I trust this source the most:
web.archive.org
If true it'd mean 5 skill gives an effective +0.2% hit/crit/anti dodge/anti parry against bosses, and takes glancing from 40% to deal 70% damage with no crits to 40% to deal 85% with no crits. If crit didn't exist that'd be a 6% DPS boost to white DPS, but depending on crit it is a smaller proportional DPS boost likely ranging from 2-3% in practice, more with really shit crit.
tl;dr The 5 skill races will likely do 2-3% more white hit DPS, okay for rogues, better for warriors.

Hey thanks man. That's the idea I got from reading around more. I appreciate the reaffirmation.
you can use rank 1 wf totem since max rank just increases the damage by like 30
also you should be wearing mp5 gear as well

yikes
>rank 1 spells
OH you silly classic faggots. Only people who didn't play vanilla want to play that garbage. Or actual manchilds.
You're saying you raided as a ret pala in vanilla but you think an anything druid is worse than that?
Shaman or paladin, friends? Why?
I like both, i am okay with healing in raids. I enjoy aspects of both of them in pvp and solo.
The decision is rough for me. I have friends coming with me but they are indifferent about faction.

it wont be same
kinda sad people still fall for this
find a tree, go hide behind, kill pet. there u go. if ur in zul farrak tho, ur fucked

I'm not an expert but I don't think they downrank their totems to avoid oom, they mp5 gear like you said and cycle mana pots/runes.
Someone who knows better could correct me. In fact i think just pots/runes is enough.
I don't expect it to be the same, and it's okay that it won't be.
Shaman because they are fun to play as and level as. Can be pretty squirmy in PvP and blow people up as ench or ele. Like druid their wolf form isn't a mount and benefits from PvP set + defilers.
Pally leveling sucks bad and pally raiding is even worse gameplay wise. Pally PvP also sucks in comparison.
Shaman multi heal good.
Paladin single heal good.
Both buff good.
Both have meme off specs.
Both get around the same number of slots in a raid.
If you pick one you won't need to deal with the strengths of the other competing with you. The only difference your friends might notice is that shaman enable 2h melee better with windfury. Performance is too close, pick what looks fun, or whatever faction you want.

pally pvp is fine as long as you like sucking warrior cock
I can't wait to finally go home. FFXIV and ESO don't fill the hole that Vanilla and TBC left in my soul. I hope we get TBC servers someday too
Fuck. I've had this dudes videos on in the background while playing XIV for a week now.
Thanks guys!
I should have said I've played both, retail vanilla as a shaman (but didn't raid a lot, mc/zg pugs, mostly pvp) and i've played paladin on a private server.
What you're saying is about what I'm thinking, tho i did enjoy paladin pvp just as much as shaman. It was fun being virtually unkillable in an organized setting, and paired especially well with engineering tricks to make up for traits i didn't have. I also had peelers as well tho so that made it a lot easier at times.
I'll give it some more thought, it sucks since i like them both.
Would go orc for shaman or dorf for paladin, obviously.
I started playing in TBC. Is it cool if I play classic with you guys?
Yeah. Prepare for hybrid taxation without representation (in raids). What are you thinking of playing?
Yes.
eh i like the support role in pvp to be honest. I don't think it has to be a meme about sucking cock unless that's something you can't control yourself over, user.
If the game had bards i'd play that.
I'm thinking of going shaman and healing at end game. What would be the most tanky healer for PvP on the Horde?
See you there dude
Yes. Vanilla and TBC go hand-in-hand. They're both good.
The tankiest healer for PvP is Druid, as in all expansions. HoTing yourself, then going into bear form is even more disgusting here as armor cap is not too far away, so an armor/healing hybrid spec is retarded good, innervate helps you do it all even when using expensive HoTs and shapeshifting.
But Druids get like 2 slots in raids, and Shamans get like 5-6.
All are welcome
Except wrathbabbys
>What would be the most tanky healer for PvP on the Horde?
For PvP? You probably want a druid. Slap HoTs on everything, then shapeshift to something useful.
Interesting I'm gonna have to do some research I was leaning more towards Shaman but being an annoying Druid that just doesn't die also sounds good.
I'm excited. I want to do some world PvPing are battlegrounds going to be a day 1 thing or is that later down the road?
imagine actually playing a night elf
>the only good elf is a dead elf
No battlegrounds til phase 3. No details about specific dates yet obv
>Can't play x, y or fucking z because MUH META
holy fucking shit I dont vanilla or any other nostalgic circle jerk and I dont want fucking retail braindead slot machine I JUST WANT A GOOD FUCKING MMO FUCK.
get ready for female night elves. they will be literally everywhere on the alliance side. most attractive race in-game tend to do that.
>entangling root, and moonfire you
>traveling form away
>shadowmeld out of combat and drink while stealthed
Elune's Blessing.
What is it with hunters, and elves that always attract the noobs and the degenerates? 9 times out of 10 if its a night elf hunter, you can guarantee they wont know their ass from a hole in the ground
you can't have that in 2019. as long as there is the slightest advantage in a class/skill that class/skill will be picked. doesn't even matter how small it is, it is still the META and will be picked.
what you want is a perfectly balanced MMORPG and I don't think that has ever been a thing
I don't see any problems with classes being restricted to one role they excel at.
t. Warrior
I dont even give a fuck about the meta the thing is classic WoW had an insanely strict one because it was janky as shit. Thank fuck for xiv even if its not everything i look for in an mmo.
>Want o play WoW Classic
>Live in fucking Mexico so my connection will be above the 9999 ping mark all the time
Oh well, have fun guys
this mentality always makes me kek so hard. only at the top, top levels does it really matter that you play what's optimal. fucking bronze league players in ranked in games like overwatch and league will flame you for picking something off-meta and think that's why they're stuck at that rating.
i dunno why this meme got so big in gaming but it did
Compared to Overwatch you have much less personal input for PvE raid encounters. Some specs just don't bring the throughput others do, and the guild slots, and raid invites reflect that. An adderall filled Hunter can only do so much to eek out more DPS compared to a sleep deprived Mage pressing one button.
my stratholme pug grouped just wiped 4 times an hour ago. 4 times in retail stratholme, we wiped 4 fucking times.
i'll pray for classic players. everyone seems focused on raids and shit, without remembering just how painful strat, ubrs, dire maul and many of the end game 5 mans could be(aware that ubrs was raid)
can't wait for some impatient tank to pull ghoul pack + pat, then blame healer for why he died.
but everything up to AQ40 is so piss easy that it doesnt really matter. you can bring 20 boomkins into a BWL and you'll still be able to get through the content
>kill this guy when he spawns, not this guy
>dont stand in the bad circle
>its ok if u do for a while though cause just pop one of ur 5 defensives and wait for any healer to drop an instant cast and bring you back up to full
oh wow such difficulty
gonna be legit really fun watching impatient shitters get mad and leave after one wipe
this man. even in piss easy fucking retail heroics, you still get people who fuck up and get killed and wipe the group. i ran a heroic maw of souls in legion where we wiped 6 times cause people couldnt dodge the shit during the final boss encounter.
anyone who makes that argument of "oh its 15 years old gotta be easy" is going to be in for a rude awakening. hell, the original super mario bros has been so optimized that speedrunners can glitch through it so effectively that they beat it in under 5 minutes, yet i guarantee you put that game in the modern gamer's hands and probably 75% of them wouldn't be able to beat the game without getting a game over
Yeah i always grow tired of meta-slaves. It's not that they're bad players necessarily, it's just that they think the sole measure of a player is whether he conforms to the HOLY META or not. And they will call you shit if you picked 1 talent point different, no matter how many times you cleared Naxx on your feral druid, they just have to point out that you aren't playing the game the way they've been told you should play the game.
I almost feel bad for Warriors who won't take full advantage of their ability to tank while gearing up, except that they bring it onto themselves, but I have the patience of a saint and through hell or high water I'll finish every fucking dungeon I set foot into. Even if I have to replace some disposable, impatient shithead every now and then.
i'm excited but I need to hurry up and find a dedicated guild. i'm afraid to join one from the classic forums, and really don't want to fuck with /wowg/ and their discord circle jerk.
Literally all you need to do is put on 1h + shield + defensive stance. Now you are a tank, lel.
>15 years of wait to play on PVE servers
Come on man.
WHEN IS THIS COMING OUT I WANT TO PLAY FEMALE DORF HUNTER
In my brief time messing around with a private server, the number of Warriors who were willing to tank while leveling up were next to none, and I feel like that's going to be greatly amplified with Classic and the tourists playing the class because they heard it was top dog.
I'm on the fence about finding a guild prior to launch. On one hand, it would make a lot of sense to establish myself with a group of people beforehand. But I've heard many tales of groups thrown together with little to not vetting prior to a launch not working out in the end, and that sort of makes me want to leave open the possibility of finding something organically in-game rather than take a gamble on people I haven't at least seen play a little bit.
And it's easier for people like that to commit to an idea now than actually show up and play later.
I'm playing a femnelf rogue and there's nothing you can do about it.
Your completely right but there are going to be some guilds that have been speed running this shit for years that will clear shit in like a day
The only way to ensure you aren't playing with total retards is to have some RL friends who are coming in with you. If you don't have any RL friends playing with you at launch, fuck any of that pre-release guild shit, just jump on a server and go the organic friend/guild discovery route. Half of those pre-release guilds will either straight up not happen or they'll end up barely doing 1/10th of all the shit they claim they're going to achieve.
Orc (male, of course) warlock coming through boys
Fury warriors have one helmet that they wear forever.
Yeah, I only have a few friends planning on playing and of those, only one is going to be as serious as I am. It just makes a lot more sense to meet more people and eventually a guild through playing for us.
>Half of those pre-release guilds will either straight up not happen or they'll end up barely doing 1/10th of all the shit they claim they're going to achieve
The real kicker here. I've experienced this myself with other games, from groups made both inside and outside of Yea Forums. Guaranteed most of the people who sign up won't even show up to begin with.
If presented with two strangers, and the only difference is class/spec you take the optimal one. Anything else is either for the sake of pity, or novelty, and most 40 mans don't care about either. Nobody wants to slow down their personal ascension for the sake of a random ret pally that could just as easily be a random fury warrior.
Sucks for the person it affects, but to expect everyone else to be personally invested in your uniqueness is just as sad as any meta observance. You can dislike what the end result of the system does, but the individual choices are not really criticizable.
0/30/20 or 20/30/0 while leveling up a shaman?
cry about it you whiny little bitch, go to bed before I fuck your mom also check my 4
why the fuck would anyone take blue pill over yellow pill
how rare is lionheart helm gonna be in phase 1?
Because some people want to play the game?
Im going to be troll priest as well.
>Shaman
They just went all out with TBC though, it's why it was so good. They used up all their Warcraft RTS currency in one go.
SO many good characters to see and meet, very fan service type expac. The only problem is they killed off everyone who was good, that they could have used even now to sell and keep players
Kalethas story was a royal fuck up though, not sure why they wanted to get rid of him so bad. He, more than any other character in the lore, had the most potential. Was actually complex, but nah just shows how much of a fucking hack Metzen was
>quest has you kill level 26-28 mobs
>the next part has you kill level 21 mobs
Defend this.
Why would anyone take blue or yellow? You would have nobody to play with.
either is fine, you'll get conflicting opinions on which is "better" and the playstyle is pretty similar.
For pure leveling efficiency, putting your spare points in elemental is stronger after you fill out your enhance tree. It may be a good idea to go ahead and get stormstrike even tho it's a mana sink at those levels. It will be helpful for pvp and even if you went resto for NS, NS isn't a leveling talent in that you wont get it until 60 typically anyhow so who gives a shit.
But related to that, if you plan on healing dungeons while leveling or when gearing up at 60, which you should since as a class that CAN heal you'll have an easier route that way, then putting the pts in resto after you go enhance would be better. If it matters, i'd go for heal cost reduction over the reduced cast time, but that is up to you.
Since those minimal resto pts dont matter that much for leveling dungeons, I usually put more enhance pts in than normal. I really like the reduced grounding totem cd, really like improved lightning shield (most mana efficient damage you can do), also really dig improved fire totems in ele since searing is cheap as hell to drop all the time.
Anyways, either is fine. It's up to you and waht you want to be a little better at. If you're on a pvp or pve server, if you're going to be healing in dungeons, what your eventual plans are at 60, etc. As long as you frontload your casting as best you're able and aren't dropping buff totems unless you get the max duration, you can level effectively as a shaman in any spec.
I play DK currently, what class do you think I can transition to for classic
What quest?
>phase 1
I guess I will try with resto since I want to enjoy the support side of the class during early-mid dungeons as much as possible.
I want to see how much I can get my party's numbers up and feel accomplished by doing that.
Raene's Cleansing. First you gotta kill lv 26-28 treants and after that you're told to kill level 21 slimes. I'm pretty sure there were a couple other chains where a similar thing happens.
woyer
Play resto in vanilla if you wanna stare at some elf girl ugly butt instead of glorious bear ASS
Huh, wonder why all of these Classic BiS lists keep including it then.
undead, dwarf or troll spriest? i want to melt faces in pvp
UD if Horde, dorf if Ally. Figure out which faction you'd rather play and its easy from there.
the only choice
Here's the alternatives

There's also this quest, but I'd prefer to keep the trinket as it's going to be harder to replace as a cooldown trinket.

This desu
is paladin worth playing if i dont have a premade group of friends ?
will a guild let me in for casual raiding ? or is rogue more fun ?
BFA is such a fucking shame since all the raids released so far have been excellent. it's too bad the base game is just so far gone.
Thankfully I knew about most of these already because I didn't plan on following on be-all end-all list, just in case, but I am beginning to realize most of these lists made for Classic are keeping a lot of items on them that aren't going to be added until like Phase 5, which is strange since they've been updated post-clarification by Blizzard. I guess they just forget how late some of these items came in too.
don't mind if I

do you find healing fun? if not then rogue
Druid super comfy to level. And its a lot easier to gear. However every druid is lowkey a furfag and try to constantly tell you how 'viable' they are. Seem to have whole slideshows to tell you how good feral dps is
Warrior look cooler, but suck ass to level, top 3 dps end game, arguably the best. SUPER reliant on gear tho. Can tank with dual wielding, but 90% seem to be too dumbfuck to it right and just act like a whiny dps
What is everyone doing to pass the time until Classic?
Because it's in phase 1. Wowhead's added in patch data is wrong. It says added in patch 1.11 for everything that came before that, because wowhead wasn't a thing until around patch 1.11. So all the stuff in the game before that were just thrown in that category.
classic.wowhead.com
You can see that the comments go all the way to patch 1.2.
Ah, well, that does make a lot of sense.
Despairing, meditating, training in the gym, thinking about the future of the clown world mostly.
>tfw I remember all these guilds
Nostalrius wasn't perfect but damn I had lot of fun there

Playing a bunch of stuff on my PS4, Resident Evil 2, Yakuza 0, and Ace Combat 7 most recently.
Playing retail because despite how much I loathe it I just keep farming gold to perpetuate my sub.
Watching classic/vanilla vids, mostly stuff from Madseason and Skarm.
Binging Trailer Park Boys.
That about sums it up.
