Tanking in Classic is a lot more about threat than mitigation/avoidance. If you can kill bosses in 20-60 seconds your healers can just dump their mana and anything short of a oneshot on the MT is a non issue. But your tank needs to hold aggro while the DPS is all going ham in order for that to...

We roll everything with items having certain class/spec priorities. Occasionally some dumb shit happens like a brand new person getting an OEB or the lock who got our first mageblade quitting three days later, but meh. At this point I have T2 hat, Ring of SP, Staff of Dom, a few shit t1 pieces...

They said Medium classic servers were the same or more than vanilla full servers. It was a blue post on their forums but I don’t know when it was made. Bull shit, Bliz listed the servers that were projected to have way too many people based on character reservations and everybody stayed on them...

Rag died on day 5, yet there are still guilds that have been raiding for weeks but haven’t killed him. BWL will be cleared the night it unlocks by many guilds, but there will also be a ton that can’t kill Vael or Broodlord or just take a few hours and call it during the drakes somewhere. No...

They are dueling and then MCing people and killing them in the duel, for honor. That has absolutely nothing to do with helping hunters do their demon kills for the quest.

From watching them do it, I’d say mana buffs/pots are more important than Fort, fwiw. Also you can have the lock refresh Reck on you while you’re fighting the demon if the duel is still going on and it starts fading, just be sure they don’t do anything else.

I assume you mean Silithus, what is the priest for? I’ve helped four or five hunters with it and curse of reck is all that’s needed, they all one-shot him except one guy that chose a bad spot to try him. Doing it near the ramp leading to AQ is good since it helps kite bugs a little and has fewer...

Wow it’s weird seeing him namedropped here, I’ve known him since we were both like 14 and playing EQ on Nameless. The combination of honor being split up amongst your group/raid and the extreme diminishing returns in place currently makes soloing as many different people as possible each day...

Right now a warlock with mining can farm more g/hr than a mage if you have decent gear and put the effort in to learning how to solo DM:E. It is tricky though and not really a ton better than what mages can do. And in 4-6 months when ZG is out, mages will leap upwards with their ability to aoe...

1v1 is the best way to grind honor anyway. There are diminishing returns on killing the same person over and over in the same day, so you want as much of the honor for killing them as possible. Only doing a small portion of their health because other people are killing them, or being in a raid...

Even if it was the OG version, most games would still just be a race. People these days know all the terrain skips, evade spots, and ways to cap flags rather than just perpetually throwing themselves at each other on the bridge or whatever. I still would prefer the original AV but the days of...

So the mystery of ony aggro resets has apparently been solved, there’s a YouTube video about it. Basically her fireball in p2 targets the person with the most threat, but it resets the aggro of the person with the lowest GUID that gets hit by it. So your tank needs to stack with somebody who...

Spend 6 bucks and use Zygor’s ingame addon.

Some librams drop only in DM but voracity isn’t one of them. It’s a random world drop so not really farmable.

Yeah I had to mail a focus to my alt and back and leave it sitting in my mail box so I could get a second one. That reminds me I can go ahead and grab it now though since I got my Neme hat last night and enchanted it.

Yep Mankrik is the same, was a 500 person queue after they merged layers last night. The handful of servers that still have layers have vastly more people than the rest though due to streamer influence and whatever else so it’s going to be interesting when layers are removed for them. And by...

Trying to form specific types of dungeon grinding groups is probably not worth it at this point. The first two weeks, most people doing SM/ZF/BRD etc were obviously playing a lot and probably focused on leveling. Now the people LFG for ZF are more casual and less likely to stay for 5 runs back...

Doing the content with smaller raids is way more productive than speed running. When most bosses drop like 2.5 items on average and you’ve got 40 people your odds of getting decked out fucking suck unless you’re a main tank or something. Never mind the fact that some bosses (like Ony) feel way...

I bought hundreds of elemental fire when it was 30-60s on my server and have a decent stockpile of dreamfoil from herbing and when I see it cheap since it’s used for so much. 1 gold GFPPs ftw. Our first two Rag kills I handed out dozens to the raid and now I’m trying to get people to stop...

You guys should look up the prices for elemental fire and dreamfoil, probably a shitload cheaper than GFPPs if it's anything like my server. No reason not to bring a few to trivialize rag and ony. Vendor epic mount is better than the warlock mount for pvp and for farming and gold is very easy...

A warrior meleeing mobs just claimed that killing stuff 5 levels apart makes no difference. That’s about as wrong a statement as you can make when it comes to WoW calcs.

Pretty much worthless for gear yeah. Mage and warlock trinkets are both worse than the 2% crit quest reward and Briarwood Reed although many people won’t farm a Reed. Locks can get the 5stam 19shadow dagger that’s a marginal upgrade over existing pre raid stuff. The only genuine upgrade is the...

~10 spawn points in each of the four zones it can spawn in. When it is picked in a zone, it respawns one hour later at one of the spawn points in that zone at random. Pretty sure it's not precisely an hour respawn either but has a bit of a +/- range on that as well.

I mean from a warlock perspective the only pre raid bis item is the shadow damage dagger or the rod of ogre magi, plus the crafted felcloth gloves. BRD LBRS UBRS Strat Scholo have like 8 bis items between them on the other hand.

It’s coming in the first patch thank god.

Trap Launcher was Cata. And yeah the TBC hunter macro was hilarious, a lot of people bound it to mousewheel and just spun the wheel to spam abilities as fast as possible.

Yeah because a 63 gets the defense-weapon skill disparity over that threshold. That’s one of the weird things that private servers never actually figured out.

It does have the additional effect of forcing the target to attack you for a few seconds even if somebody else passes your threat, but relying on that is not a good habit to have at all.

Don’t taunt on pull lol, that does nothing but waste it and a gcd. Use tclap or a shout to generate initial aggro on everything. Then start sundering skull and then other targets. A lot depends on your group and whether you’ve got people dotting/cleaving secondary targets immediately or if it’s...

I guess it depends on your guild/server. Enough people are getting 60 now that trade and world chat on my server has plenty of scholo/strat/lbrs groups forming instead of it all being SM, ZF, and Mara like it was a couple weeks ago. Plus my guild is massive so there’s always stuff going on.

It’s not hard to put together 5-man Jed+Rend farms if you really do want the set. Briarwood Reed is amazingly good for DPS casters and even healers and it only takes a couple minutes to have everyone zone into BRS solo and see if Jed spawned in their instance, then whoever gets him invites...

People get quests and want to do Ulda at 38-40 and then get curbstomped by the level 47 final boss, especially if it’s a pug.

Were you tanking with a ravager? Mid/high 30s warriors with that are pretty hilarious, doubly so if you have a shaman in the group. I have two friends that are playing War/Sham together and I ran them through armory a few times for it. The guy playing the war has never played WoW before and...

The Azshara ones drop felcloth and demonic runes at the same rate, I was just pointing out that the Felwood plant consumables are an additional thing you can get which makes them better than Azshara

Felwood satyrs are a lot better to farm because they drop the items that let you harvest night dragons breath, songblossom, etc. Also different layers will sometimes have camps wide open that were completely dead on another layer so be sure to check.

Hoping phase 2 does come out in one month, and lasts two months itself, before switching to ~3 month durations for the rest of the phases. 12-13 weeks of farming MC and Ony is gonna feel like an eternity.

If you really care about leveling fast, good ZF groups can make most of the 40s go quick. The problem is that most of the people who are good at the game and want to level fast are already 60 so the random groups you join while leveling at 40 are nowhere near as solid on average as they were 4...

Caster pants are from Omokk in LBRS. Low drop rate and LBRS sucks so I’m just keeping Felcloth until t1/t2. Also pre raid bis for casters includes like 4 green items, maybe fewer if you count stupid shit like Drakestone of X Wrath or incendius bracers of X Wrath but those really aren’t farmable.

Yeah there is a massive difference between a good aoe dungeon group and a typical aoe dungeon group, and soloing as a lock falls in between the two when it comes to xp/hr.

I’m still missing three big 5 man upgrades and a few small ones and I’m at like 270 shadow damage. Will be at like 320 without any raid gear. IDK, as you get higher your VW won’t hold aggro on a mob even if you only hit it with Agony, Corruption, and Siphon while killing other stuff. And VW dps...
