Never be a class that moves people from point A to point B instantly. You will be on bitch duty till the end of times.
But if I summon everyone and give them lock rocks the raid leader will overlook me leaving on burning rush and doing 5 dps

I remember running PUG raids in WOD. Sole warlock was doing like half the DPS of the next lowest DPS. Everyone was yelling at me to boot him.

I did not obviously. But I did boot other bad DPS and used to warlock to summon in the replacement.

Yup. Same reason I didn't play a mage - "I forgot food and water, teehee! Can you summon me some?!" "My hearth is on cool down, can you port me?!"
Considering food buffs all have a 5% exp buff them being retarded is on them.

And that right there is your hint. He never played Vanilla, like a lot of those "Classic" guys. And yet, at the same time, they are all experts on what and how an MMO should be, and what it means to return to the root of the genre.

i played paladin in vanilla and while i had fun at the time i *HATE* vanilla now. it's without a doubt the WORST version of the game for balance and fun.

edit: should say i still play my paladin. he's around 600 days played at this point and my warlock (also from vanilla) is around 100.

As another then and still Pally main (which of course also makes me Alliance scum), virtually anything will be less painful than the launch ret (and in bands Prot) levelling experience.

(Hell, my pally isn't vanilla, he's launch day - I even (only) played Pally in beta.)

Nothing has really taken me away from warrior that I've seen so far. It still looks set for 20% of the population playing warrior.

Enhance looks online but not 100% sold yet. Paladin is a wait and see.

I remember the one Paladin in our guild who was forced to be Blessing of Kings bitch forever. Dude wanted to do other stuff and was forced to stay that spec because that buff was too fucking good

At the time the guild let me do the webpage updates for guild first clears/other notable things, so I put together a photoshopped comic of the paladin basically getting so mad he turns into the hulk and still has to be kings bitch

Oh wow, blue elves don't have to be blue. They can just literally be pale skinned and look like high elves. Still gay, but better.

Gonna play beta just to dick around and test some low level specs/class changes etc. Don't think I have it in me to level to 30 twice in around a month and a half. I don't want to give this too much time now when I plan to shitsock the holidays!

Yeah, you can thank the previous generation of "Influencers" for that, because when Classic first launched it was stricly "nO cHaNgeS".

And while Blizzard design philosophy changed over the years for the worse, Blizzard listened. Some QoL and improvements should've made it in back then, like dual spec, mounts at 30 and fresh balance passes after each raid tier to break the meta.

The fact that they are letting you toggle on/off graphics and transmog is such a massive win for everyone.

I foresee a bunch of blue haired cat women roleplaying their vampire fanfic out all over Azeroth.

Dual spec alone is the best change they made for classic servers, especially for classes like paladin. Playing a warlock on the TBC server and it's nice to have a demo spec for soloing.
