How hard was it to boost dungeons in vanilla? I started in BC and I remember even then you could die while boosting if you got overconfident and tried to pull a huge amount without knowing what to do. Was the dungeon xp really good in vanilla too, or did people just want their loot/quests and move on?

You try to escape into your imagination, but you imagine yourself as a weak anxious screwup. Even in your own fantasies, you're still a failure.

Yo f'real I talked to Benji and he seems like a swell dude. Consulted me on how to lift and get strong. Much appreciated bro.

Reminder to all DPS Warriors, Rogues, Rets and Huntards. As part of the Warrior Tank ubermensch I will have total control over who gets in my group, and if there's a single physical dps item I want in the entire dungeon none of you shitters will get invited. Caster dps ONLY.

to be frank noone ever really needs this. there was an issue years ago with one of the keyboards that would let players abuse it throu macros. it was banned/you would get banned for using its options. at best it is a crutch and there is hardly a good argument that you would need it. for every button that you have on spell bar you can bind another similar spell (fear, howl of terror) in logical manner to use ctrl+key. with all them combinations seeing that you also have shift button etc. you also have side or extra buttons on mouse. whatever floats your boat tho.

The question is are you?

whens the news?

Diplomacy is a good racial overall as there are a few rep grinds in Vanilla but the extra Int and EA make Gnome the premier choice.

Extra spirit is meaningless to Mages and Perception won't be as useful as you think as most Rogues will get the drop on you anyway.

So what's the best build for prot warriors?

Fury.

Gnome is better, but do you really want tl play as a gnome?

Tauren or Orc warrior?

You must feel right at home then

Best levelling warlock build and you post a level 60 build, what levelling you doing at level 60 senpai

for PVP its obvious, for PVE the better threat generation from an orc is better than the 5% health bonus

you may not like it, but this is what peak raid comp looks like

This is the official tier list for classes. It's a combination of all specs and both pve and pvp.
You're welcome.

>alliance

Nah bro, 4 warriors, 14 priests, and 22 rogues is the best raid comp.

you need 2 hunters because average hunter is too stupid to handle enrage solo

Alliance is peak raid comp

But if you must have one for Horde, swap the 4 Paladins for 4 Shaman, swap 3 of the Priests for 3 more Shaman on top of that (for 7 total), done.

Whats the most painful class/spec to 1v1 against

Alliance is peak tranny too

Why do people think that Classic druids are bad?
They can even farm very efficiently youtube.com/watch?v=V9sI38mG46k

They're alright healers and always wanted in raids, they can do all roles in 5mans, they're fantastic in any spec in pvp.

as someone with like 1000 hours of vanilla priest this is good advice, however it's only good on farm or progressing easy content like MC, I would rec full holy for progression

Balance/resto druid. You're never gonna win unless it's a duel.

>almost home

I've been playing Vanilla for 10 years straight.

They are good for innervate

Any hybrid class specced into their healing tree, they're basically unkillable unless your class has a counterspell

They're not bad by any means, they're just suboptimal for PvE and it triggers autistic poopsockers

kinda ironic that you put warrior who needs pockethealer in pvp in S tier. pally in B and druid in C? the hell mate. also if it is a combination of pvp and pve why is lock not in A tier? seeing that sl is unkillable, sm/ruin or ds/ruin is somewhere on par with mage in naxx? you know nothing NPC.

>Hunter not in F tier
Literally only brought for tranq shot in PvE and is more of an annoyance than anything in organized PvP.
They're good at solo'ing, ganking and casual PvP I guess, but to me they're easily the most useless and forgettable class in vanilla. Druids suck and they're better at PvE and PvP.

barely anyone plays them so they don't really understand them, people that try playing them like a 'normal' class end up performing badly.

I'm still using the old nostromo one. One of the best buys in my entire life. Way more comfy to use it + mouse in pretty much any game rather than keyboard + mouse.

sl lock with 7k hp and 2x void. endurance fight of which only druid can contend to in world pvp.

I mean, yeah, exactly. No matter where I look, they seem fantastic in all forms of pvp. Their "downside" is being forced to heal in raids, and their healing is subpar, but they're still absolutely needed and wanted. Plus, healing is pretty chill anyway.
Am I wrong?

What will people do after clearing naxx?

Actually in MC, BWL and ZG you go full immersion but at AQ40 the spreadsheets start because Blizzard fucked up.

I'm interested to see how it will play out with streamers and leveling.
No doubt wherever the streamer goes there will be a horde of players just following him around. His group will tag everything and then have his army of pocket healers quickly get him back to 100%. It will be like the normal clusterfuck of new servers but worse since they'll be competing directly against you instead of it being like a free for all. It's like they're their own faction.
I could see people being reported for harassment for simply trying to compete against a streamer in the same area.
I guess at some point they will outpace everybody else in the zone but still, it's gonna be a nightmare if you happen to play on the same server.

Attached: 1555418367219.png (640x626, 97K)

Vanilla is a solved game. There is literally no reason to take someone who will purposefully do their job worse just because they like it.
You're more than welcome to join a casual raiding guild and play sub-optimally, but don't expect everyone to indulge you by carrying a person who is willfully playing worse than they could.

in reality noone cares how you look if you gonna get 2 shoted atleast on pvp server. stay on rp server with that mentality since you will enjoy it more in a long run.

kino
>You're more than welcome to join a casual raiding guild and play sub-optimally

example. dont go to xr at lvl 11ish as an UD and stick to sepulcher. you avoid most of the cluster fuck which is tied to streamers.

>they seem fantastic in all forms of pvp
god no, no amount of pvp videos of boomtards killing retards will make druids any good in PVP, they are good at flag carrying and that's it

Tell me something i don't know.

>seething druidlet links footage from his chinkdale server
sorry by PVP I didnt know you meant 1v1s in WPVP, have a great time

No, you're not. But many Druids try to stick to one specc throughout level 60, it isn't an issue exclusive to Druid's but they're punished hardest for it. You're meant to be flexible as a Druid, tanking dungeons and healing raids etc. But whenever you have people begging to go feral dps despite underperforming compared to a Rogue it just makes all druids look bad. But fuck the community perception anyway, you have one of the most fun levelling experiences with no downtime while being great at PvP and that's better than most classes, raiding is such a small part of the game and people shouldn't be detered from Druids because of it.

any chance of Blizz rereleasing the vanillia cd boxes?

I dont mind healing at high level and from my pserver experiences, druids are pretty scarce

Game will be already dead to that moment.
All private servers died after AQ.
So just wait for new Vanilla Server. Literally PoE style league gaming.

Are rogues a top fun_ class in PvP? I played a hunter to about level 40 in Vanilla and want to do something different.

What's a good race on each faction for a rogue?

>There is literally no reason to take someone who will purposefully do their job worse just because they like it

Sounds like you are one of the spergs who enjoy arena.

>Just as effective in BGs
This is where you're wrong, druids are good at running flags in organized pvp, ooming yourself after an insect swarm and a few moonfires might kill spastics in Wpvp who aren't hybrids but it does nothing in BG's

Druids are more fun.

>F R E S H every year
sounds cool

And yet ironically you're convinced druids are good at pvp because of arena-esque 1v1's

>fear locked
Deminishing returns.
>endurance fight
Literally THE thing druids are the best at in pvp, what? Being so infuriatingly difficult to stop or kill is what makes them so strong. Look at the videos.

There is lvl60 epic katanas?

Sounds really cool since I want to play too many classes to be competitive on anyone I'll be just sticking to Priest on Launch but if we get FRESH every now and then I can do Druid/Mage/Lock

Comfy as fuck

can dwarves be rogues?

Look at youtube.com/watch?v=ArRdJBeSDbY, 45 minute mark. Druid > duo mage easily.

meh i always viewed them as idiots who feel as their guild should give them a title of scarab lord etc. just because they are "e-celebs" and under some pretense they want to show all their viewers pov of getting scarab lord. entitled cunts simply put.

Yes, they're top tier, don't listen to the druid defense force here which are actively trying to recruit people into a lifestyle of farming gnomer just so they can kill tram rats

It's because it is a solved game that meme specs and suboptimal, but fun builds are more viable you retard.
Everybody fucking knows the game like the back of their hand now.

That's why we have a lot more ret pallies and feral/balance druids and enhance shamans coming out and flexing their muscles in modern Vanilla now that the game is solved, compared to back in the mid-00s when people were trying to learn the game and needed to minmax so guilds prioritized the best classes, best specs and best gear over fun.

I know this is a meme but I can't express how accurate it is.
On private server, I had way more fun wearing my "shitty" tier set than minmaxing shadow damage and collecting all the bis gear from a spreadsheet. Plus you live way longer and aren't always oom.

It's not a job, its a simple choice. Do I want to play with people who are purposefully and specifically playing worse? That's literally it. It takes no effort to gear and spec correctly. But yeah, lets take fire mages and firelocks to MC and BWL because fuck everyone else in the guild

>NO FUN ALLOWED

>I don't know how software development works

You might not mind healing at top level

But as:

- Druid
- Paladin
- Shaman
- Priest (except 1 shadow priest per raid)

Not only will you be forced to heal or not invited to raids, they will not allow you to get anything but healing gear, and re-speccing back and forth costs 100G, which is like 10 hours of farming.

So I hope you enjoy clicking on raid frames and pressing a healing key, beause that's the only thing you will be allowed to do as any of these classes in end game.

You won't get anything but healing gear, you can't change out of heal spec.

You will also be treated like shit.

Picking any of these classes is basically being a literal cuckold.

That's only if you join a no-fun guild.
Ret pallies and feral druids can, and have topped DPS in raids before.

Yes, that happens, and the two mages are very average players you can expect playing against. Hell, even these fags playing on private servers for years are only this skilled, now reduce that skill by less than half and we have the average retail Classic player skill.

Bros less than 2 hours .....

>druids are good at running flags in organized pvp

They aren't just good, they are the best and almost unkillable if they know what they are doing and have engineering.

Outside of underperforming in PvE Druids have some issues like not having a standard ress which many players don't know about (and blame the Druid for after they get soulstoned pointlessly). Also their biggest strength as a healer is their mana-efficiency, but for that to be apparent all other healers have to go OOM and in a situation like that it's likely a wipe, likewise their HoT's are easily 'snipeable' in raids so they get a reputation of being mediocre healers too. I wouldn't say they're a powerful class but the thing's they're actually good at are hard to see from the outside. I'm only picking one so I can tank for my bros to get our pre-raid BIS and then i'm taking up the dress for raids.

>What's a good race on each faction for a rogue?
Minmaxers will say that human is the best race for PvE but I wouldn't choose my race for PvE because it's gonna be a joke anyways. Go for the PvP racials instead, unless you're some PvE server sissy.

Dwarves have the ability to remove bleeds, poisons and diseases. Good way of getting back to stealth because DoT will remove stealth from you, but since it won't remove magic and curses, it's not as strong as it could be. Still strong against certain classes.
Gnomes can remove roots or snares, incredibly strong against kiters. Good choice.

Undead can remove charm, sleep and fear, making it arguably the best racial in the game for rogues because your pvp trinket will also remove fear, giving you two ways of breaking fear which is very strong in classic.
Orcs get a 25% stun resist passive, making you immune against stuns if you get lucky. Blood fury gives you shitloads of attack power but also gives you a healing reduction debuff for a long time. Can be a good racial during bursts but wrong usage can fuck you up because sometimes crucial health potions and first aid can save your ass.

Rest of the races don't have that amazing PvP racials compared to these four.

You can literally clear MC with less than 30 people still in their leveling greens/blues, get off your high horse.

I wish the announcement was full release today for everyone.

Hey so in Classic I'll probably end up leveling multiple classes to 60, but I want something really efficient as my first 60. I'm thinking a mage for the easy gold farming in DME, as well as trading and retrading free food and water, and of course portals are super convenient.
However, DME isn't until phase 2, and ZG (for highest rank food/water) wasn't until fucking phase 3 right?
Would a hunter or warlock be more useful as a first main? Both can easily do Princess solo runs right?

I remember that since i was also farming cloth sets at the time around AQ wall camp where they were fighting. Haki was at the time DS/Ruin spec meaning no active demon. makes it even more ironic since FF was using eng shadow trinket. In the end the word spread but there were no videos of it.

But healing in PVP and farming mats to make money is perfectly viable and enjoyable for me

How accurate is Shadowpanther now?

this fucker gets it

Pretty sure he's updating it for classic

a casual now is a lot different than a casual 15-ish years ago. nu-wow mobile game players won't be able to stand vanilla.

Would I have a decent chance to actually get to raid as a hunter, at least 3 or 5 pieces of tier 1 (both bonuses will make soloing even easier)?
Or should I just go for something closer to pre-raid BiS and then level a "real" main?
I am nervous as hell because in the long run I just really want to experience all the raids. I don't want to heal or tank though.

Reminder

you wont be desired in raids if you are under hunter on dps meters as a rogue or mage. finding a normie guild who cant get 20 people on for ZG and wipe on Venoxis isnt viewed as fun even for the normiest people.

I don't mind leveling speed, it's not a concern actually.
I want my first 60 to either be able to farm and raid, or at least farm efficiently for my new main. I figured getting something that can farm to 60 first is best to get that income going though.

It's still the most normie MMO, South Park and Leeroy Jenkins immortalised it. They may not play it for very long but WoW has always been one of the most casual games of all time, even most news articles kept pushing horror stories about how WoW was addicting just like they're doing with Fortnight now

>Would I have a decent chance to actually get to raid as a hunter
If you are like, a founding member of a guild, sure. Even the normiest casual guilds don't take more than 3 or 4 hunters. They're just really fucking bad at raiding. Shadow priests, ret pallies, cat druids. All of them out dps hunters and everyone knows it. You will get your tier gear and your ranged weapons and be absolutely last on every other item in the game, if you can even get an established spot.
I played on Nost, K2, Elysium/LH and now Northdale. Not once can I recall a guild recruiting hunters EVER, besides the absolutely brand new raiding guilds that are just leveling guilds in disguise, who recruit anyone that will join.
>I am nervous as hell because in the long run I just really want to experience all the raids. I don't want to heal or tank though.
Then play a warlock

I don't really care about the beta, we can play the game already on private servers

Ask again, what you guys think of Dwarf or Human Warrior? I have a level 35 Dwarf and level 30 Human on a Private Server ( Also level 30 Tauren and 20 Orc but decided Horde is not for me).

I like tanking, though I'm not sure how many spots there will be for that in raids, maybe as off-tank or for dungeons at least. I don't mind PvP either and do wanna play on a PvP server. In terms of active racials, I like dwarf more but human passive ones for PvE are apparently very good. As for model/animations I prefer the human model, dwarf customization and am mixed on the animations.

What would you guys pick?

There's literally no point in minmaxing unless you're going for server firsts.
Vanilla is easy, it's pretty much a solved game. It's been around for over a decade to the point that people even found out how to make the "shitty" specs viable and good.
It's not fucking 2005 or 2006 anymore.

You can get to raid, you can get some decent dungeon gear easily enough. Getting hunter t1 might be harder since its actually good, you might be able to work something out by passing on other loot. I always level a rogue and they can get some decent and easy money by pickpocketing brd

yea no idiots will still wonder how did they get chain cleaved on Vael etc.

Why do you guys like Dwarf more in terms of aesthetics, surely human wins out because armour fits them better?

Also what professions would you pick? Engineering/mining seems good for best result but part of me wants to go Blacksmithing to just be cool and make gear, though I tried it for a bit and it is a complete pain in the dick to level, needing tons of ore and rocks.

I genuinely enjoy playing as an undead rogue, but i am going to go warrior because of the sperg stereotype.

I hear warlocks are crap until AQ/Naxx geared, and they're mediocre in pvp? I forgot to mention that I would love to pvp a lot as well, both wpvp and BGs.
The playstyle, having different pets, life drain/life tap, etc does appeal to me. But the only thing a warlock does better than a hunter seems to be being able to summon and give out healthstones, at least until they get really well geared, and they're still mediocre in pvp (some even say they're bad if you don't exclusively play undead).
Thoughts?

They cost basically the same. Warriors have fewer spells that cost more. Warlocks have more spells that cost less.

Who is getting away with what exactly?

If you cared about armor aesthetics you would be playing fem orc. Dwarves are cool and they have the coziest ally capitol.

All the casters are worthless until AQ/Naxx. In AQ mages get to meme with rolling ignites and warlocks start to show up. Locks are good in Naxx, but still below warriors.
MC and BWL are the warrior and rogue show and everyone else is just along for the ride. Every single damage meter in those raids is 1 through 12 or 14 or whatever warriors and rogues. Then everyone else. If the melee are even remotely competent, it's impossible to lose to casters. The deck is completely stacked against them with no hit gear and school resists.

Theyre squishy and relatively weak in blue gear but possibly the strongest class in t3

I never said you had to do anything. I said there's no reason to take someone who is choosing to be worse.
Min/maxing is farming retarded consumes and camping for DM/Ony buffs. Picking the right spec isn't min maxing and requires absolutely no more effort then choosing the wrong one.

It's like being a bus driver and seeing two roads that end up in the exact same place, but one is windy and longer and the other is straight. You're picking the windy road because 'its fun' then getting mad when everyone else on the bus is annoyed you took the long route when there's a blatantly easier and shorter path.

True, even the game itself is made to a casual one, and to immerse yourself and enjoy it much as possible. This is the plan, but the reality is completely different. People changed and immersion is swapped with a rush, and using guides, and being as much optimized as possible. Everyone will install a fuckton of addons for starters, do the most optimal routes, play with the most cookie cutter talents, read up wiki, and follow a shitty green arrow, and think about raid environment on their character select even if the said person will never reach 60.
This lelo dawg taek it easy :^) is an utter bullshit. Private servers proved this a hundred fucking times already how autistic as fuck the playerbase is. They will completely siphon the fun out of the game, everyone will be a wannabe vurtne and play its linkin park on the background.

Again though I get that WotF is powerful against warlocks, but when it's been used, if the warlock is still alive, why can't the warlock still win?

Because ud warrior

If you're just solo BG'ing you're going to hate your life as an alliance warlock. And you'll probably hate leveling too because every single horde player is an undead rogue.

It's a nice idea, but seems like it wouldn't be very fun for the people who aren't playing meme specs. I'm not sure if you can make an entire 40-man raid out of only meme specs. Someone's gotta heal. And some bosses just aren't doable without a Warrior tank. I think you can fit about 25 memers in but the other 15 would have to suck it up and be the glue that keeps the raid from wiping every single pull

Well that's one hard counter, but many classes have hard counters right?

I'd prefer WPvP vastly over random BGs, but potentially organized PvP above both. I absolutely love WPvP though.

>Especially if it's a sort of bad choice
>Why would I get my dick sucked for just existing?
Answered your own question my guy. Alliance warlock is one of, if not the least played demographic in vanilla wow. There are some fights and trash where you gotta have locks, and they're really hard to come by for ally guilds

tho to be realistic i might add that you as an ally can also rely on stun nades and there is always deathcoil as a chain breaker plus numerous other stuff as tidal charm etc. but like said before i view them as a crutch.

I still can't decide what class or faction to play. I'm also considering what will be good in TBC aswell. Leaning towards UD warlock so far though.

Hmm.
Fear is 1.5 sec cast according to classicdb.
Howl of Terror is 2 sec. Ouch. But does terror count as a fear as well?
Otherwise, can't you supposedly just VW Sacrifice -> Fel Domination (+ 2/2 Master Summoner) + instant VW -> VW Sacrifice again if you really need to play around WotF?
I mean sure you can get kicked, but you have ways to simply deal with the damage, you've gotta have right? Hmm..

Huh. So it's quite possible that if I mained a warlock, I'd get to see every raid if my guild just was good enough? Would it even be possible that I'd be one of very few or the only warlock in a guild somehow, if they're so underpopular?

Gonna roll an UD rogue anyways on whichever pvp realm turns out to be the most populated just to become a Stranglethorn ganking shitlord. That sounds fun.

They have Death Coil as well in vanilla/Classic huh? I actually thought this was added in TBC.
So they have one instant "terror"/fear(?), and two slower fears.

Well still, I should be able to fight around it even if I need engineering (which is expected for all pvp), right?

Delusional, just like many classic advocates, who ooze about how classic is the alpha and omega. I completely agree with Asmongold about this topic that it would be a lot better option if blizzard would take its time and get his shit together learn from mistakes and made a good current game.

user the reason why there is a massive shortage of warlocks ally side. You can play one, BUT you need to put an incredible amount of effort for bread crumbs.
For PvE you are easily accepted to the group especially ally side BUT you the mage's bitch and a soulstone dispenser. Well you do actually some dmg BUT you need at least AQ gear to do so.
Leveling is easy as a warlock BUT you are in target, especially on a PvP realm, by this I mean you are literally in a crossair for the horde. You will be one of the first people who die. I'm not saying not to roll one BUT again most of the horde is not only undead BUT a warrior and rogue.

As you see every time in vanilla there are these BUTs you'll always stumble upon. They stack up and stack up until the point where you stop giving a fuck and not playing.

Aye I looked it up and you're right. Also it seems that Death Coil counts as Horror, which WotF doesn't grant immunity to?
So sure, I'd have to depend on engineering and Death Coil, but I'd still do quite fine by just playing my cards right, it seems.

How are warlocks for gold farming? I've read that they can do Princess runs and even lashers, just less efficiently than hunters and mages?
At least their repair costs are rather low, and they don't need to invest in pet food and ammo.

Okay so all these things said, just how are warlocks with

Who's saying that all Horde players play Forsaken though?
I've been watching vanilla PvP videos for some days and Forsaken aren't more common than orcs who seem to be way more common, but there's also plenty of trolls and tauren. Seems like a very balanced distribution on private servers at least?

Dumbest and most factually wrong post so in here so far

That is correct, everyone just plays whatever they like without giving a fuck about racials, there's plenty of gnome/human warlocks too, the only exception for alliance side are dwarf priests but even then there's a decent amount of human/NElves ones.

I will be playing a troll warrior and there's nothing anyone can do to stop me.

yea youll get it around lvl30ish. mostly you will use fear while howl of terror goes for rogues who want to fuck you up with jumping around you using LoS as a tactic.
Eng is not "needed" for pvp since you have items from quests or rare mob drops in world of which you have Skull of impending doom ala rocket boots. tidal charm stun trinket from naga rare in arathi, luffa for bleed effects etc. Eng will give you extra edge but you can find items in world that can compensate not having eng. tho nades can be a fight changer lots of times. dont forget bout insignia and that having felhunter out you can remove most of enemy spells that are on you or benefical buffs on enemy via purge while also having silence. you have nothing to lose with having eng. but on ZG release if you are gonna PVE it is viable to have 300 in tailoring.

Chill the fuck out everyone, we still have AT LEAST 20 minutes before we hear any news.
If you refuse to watch streamfags(and I don't blame you), then hang out in this thread or the next and I'll keep you posted- with screencaps, if applicable.

Probably I'm not the only one, you could also f5 /r/classicwow, sorted by new and get the same result.

Its literally going to them Playing Diablo Mobile on their new OnePlus 7 Pros that are launching in 20 minutes

>plenty of gnome/human warlocks too
All the true warlocks are gnome warlocks.

Well since most of them are private server crusaders who buy gold, then talk about how hard the game is, I can safely say to simply dodge these people, also most of them are banned anyway.

Because if your class has this many BUTs you should reconsider rolling one. Its not that you can't play one, but its the scenario where: why do you want to handicap yourself this badly?

Warlock is a horde class, this has been established many times, and horde players pick on warlocks. Its that most new players are always unaware of what will happen to them, they roll this class then get frustrated. I'm not saying not to play one, its just that there are so many things going against you, that your experience will be miserable. People figured this out way before even when classic became a thing, and they either gone horde or rerolled. Well you can thank minmax autists too for this, but if you are that devoted to play alliance I can guarantee you you'll have a lot better time as a mage, just because there is a massive overpopulation of rogues and warriors, and I don't need to explain why being a mage is always a good choice. (Not to mention as a starting character, because you can actually make money pretty easily)

This. Literally the only popular and big streamer on EU will be Kungen

I'm considering going skinning/mining til I hit 60, get the mats I need for important shit, then replace both with engineering and either tailoring/enchanting (which?). I guess enchanting could make me some easy cash but tailoring could be great as you mentioned until I have the gear I need from it.

Warlock gold farming though, what are their options, how much worse than mages and hunters are they?

what you'll see my dude is a lot of blue warriors and rogues. There will be a shitton of them.

No shit because the game itself is nowhere as near good as they hype it up.
you don't level in healing specs amigo. Also leveling a priest is probably the easiest, just use your wand and that proc which gives you bonus manareg after killing enemy

lmao do you actually think these big classic advocates are not doing so too? Even a lot players are often proven to do so. Let me say it again: Private servers functioned entirely on chinkfarming, and the owners are often exposed to made deals with them. Even in officials there will be a lot of people who will buy gold. So much for the brave, cool gamer classic community :^)

Disappointing but what can you do.

WHERE'S THE FUCKING LINK YOU NIGGERS

>>gold farming, i'd hope at least efficiently enough to repair and buy raid resources as well as for mounts for alts down the line
you can do dungeon runs or you can juggle with affl specc. it aint bad and you have zero downtime bcs life drain and lifetap.
>>dungeons and raiding performance, newly dinged 60 to Naxx geared
youll need to get hit capped tho most of the gear is easly obtainable. chest if you dont get bop epic from scholo you can get robe of the winter night, bis shoulders for raiding lock are lvl 40-50ish green craftable and so on. its aint that hard to gear him. at bwl stage you are shadow specced so you try to get as much +shadow dmg gear from ebonroc etc. zg release you go for 3 set tailoring garb which are rep rewards recipes and are bis until mid aq40ish+-. t3 naxx you are god.
>>random WPvP / ganking / getting ganked etc
wpvp. depends really. SL specc you get killed slower than a prot tank with pocket healer tho you have bout zero dmg output/endurance fight. aff and destro are another thing. one relying on having control of the enemy while having dots on them and drainging so to speak while destro being control at start followed by massive burst. they can go vs any class in vanilla.
>>random BG pvp
dot every1 up and wait for nightfall procs, can hold off multiple people with competent player by his side at flags in AB etc..
>>organized BG pvp
crowd control and endurance mostly while being annoying.
>>alternatively; compared to hunters and mages?
should win both. mage can fuck him up if he doesnt have felhunter out.

go for tailoring since to make money from enchanting youll need to get most of recipes from exalted rep farming. trust me that grinding timbermaw hold aint fun and you have to be one of the first to make bank of it. same goes for about every other recipe ingame other than crusader recipe drop from elite scarlets/epl which is also if nothing else atleast annoying.
