More like project Oppenheimer. It's gonna be Nostalrius 2. Gonna change the landscape of pservs. Classic+ we all waited.

dont care
still rolling on the pve server
On one hand, having 2 servers means I'll probably actually get to play on launch
On the other hand, my retard friend now wants to go pvp, which means I won't be able to make characters from opposing factions and do soul of iron like I planned.

>>716302339Playing on PvP realms is retarded
The game is solved and the only "pvp" that "world pvp" people want are one-sided stomps and corpse camping
TurtleWoW made the mistake of listening to these retards and making a pvp realm, it's obviously dead now because the only people that active want to play on it are people who just want to grief others and noobstomp, when there are no noobs the only ones left are people that can fight back and they hate that so they stopped playing
>>716302507I remember I used to get called a shitter and crybaby for saying pvp servers are fucking trash and that it's just basically griefing others or getting griefing
Why are WoWtroons so mentally ill?
>surely this Nth iteration of shitty WoW private servers will be different!
i genuinely don't know how anyone can look forward to an increased difficulty classic. your average wow player is already such a shitter in classic content, this entire experience is going to be miserable
>>716302632Yea they always do that, but the truth is that it's pure projection, they can't compete at an even level, that's why they use all sorts of niche trinkets and consumables to try to nuke you with their rogue before the stun even wears off
They don't like pvp, they hate pvp, they want to grief and waste their own and other people's time
>no pvp server
That's great, also does anybody know if it's just classic content or it goes up to LK?
>>716304496Is this engagement bait?
>>716304496Yes pvp server. No expansion content.
>>716304559I heard about it last month when some fag posted the server here and didn't look up anything after
>>716304573shame
>>716301405 (OP)Hello newfriend, let me fill you in on the private server scene.
Basically you have servers that try to copy the wow expansion as it was and you have "fun servers" that add whatever weird shit the devs thought would be cool to add to wow when they were 10 years old playing it for the first time.
"fun servers" with terrible balance typically dont do that well because everyone plays the game with the terrible PvP as they levelling hoping it gets better at higher levels and it always gets worse because the devs dont actually understand PvP and a few devs sometimes even make their favourite class blatantly OP to the point they arent fun to play against and when everyone realizes the PvP isnt going to get good then most people bail.
Some people play the game exclusively for the PvE and many of those will stay, but there arent enough of those people playing private servers for "nostalrius 2"
>>716302507>TurtleWoW made the mistake of listening to these retards and making a pvp realmturtle wow PvP failed because they removed the hybrid tax so paladins were dealing some of the best damage in the game while having the best utility in the game while having the best defences in the game, while having some of the best healing in the game, all while being able to do all that shit while they are literally immune to all damage. They literally had to make battlegrounds cross faction because no one wanted to play vs paladins, and even then the games basically just devolved into paladins vs paladins with the team who had the most people hoping to get carried by paladins losing.
>like PvP
>was going to play war mode on the PvE realm, completely confident that Epoch is going to be stable for as long as I want to play it
>now stuck picking between the sure thing PvE realm with war mode (which no one will be using because there's now a PvP realm) and the gigaSOVL PvP realm that could go tits up in a month
Fuck
>>716304559PvE players and devs typically dont like people having the option to play on a PvP server. they are all weird control freaks who feel insecure about liking to play on the less hardcore types of servers.
>>716305040Why does not someone else makes totally-not-nostalrius 2 if it was that beloved by the community?
>>716302507Adult-pilled.
Tbh i never liked griefing people, but used to always roll on PvP realms because of my friends. Years later, I reluctantly tried a PvE server, thinking it was babbyshit, but turns out it's just so much more tranquil and enjoyable when you're not spending hours being resskilled and ganked by higher lvl people.
Recently I tried a PvP realm again, Warmane - Icecrown, and max lvl, PvP-geared people camp lvl 30 flight masters there. So fucking tiresome.
>>716305040Turtle WoW's PvP realm also launched in 2023, after the server had already been online for 5 years. Veterans and even returning players had no incentive to roll on a fresh PvP realm and, as you said, Turtle PvP was known to be wildly imbalanced. For whatever reason, Turtle's population graph is no longer available, but you can still see that the server peaked at 16,000 players when the PvP realm launched. Project Epoch's Discord currently has 32,000 members. It's much less likely that Epoch's PvP realm will die, but still more likely than it's PvE one.
>>716305434Epoch could be nost 2, the big reason nost 2 was as big as it was is because there was a lot of hype for a classic server, any classic server, at the time and there werent any good ones out at the time. Blizzards classic is fucking garbage right now, so private servers are getting a little more popualr again and a fresh classic server could be more popular now than any time since classic released imo.
>Why does not someone else makes totally-not-nostalrius 2 if it was that beloved by the community?Nost was competing with another one that was also building hype and nost basically released the server before they were actually ready to. class quests werent working on release, stealth was broken basically the whole time nsot was out, out of combat healing from spirit didnt work the way it should. But there was huge hype for a new server for whatever reason and they released before their competition.
The funny thing is there was a huge debate about how nost wasnt accurate and their competition had the more accurate way for doing things. A lot of people were saying nost was the closest to real vanilla there has ever been and those other guys had no idea what they were talking about. then classic came out and it turned out the other server did have some of those things more accurate. nost maybe had some raid mechanics more accurate but fundamental mechanics like out of combat healing (not a big deal) were not done properly, stealth not being properly was really lame though.
ill be rolling a gnome warrior on the pvp realm, got invited to a guild who's planning to do world bosses and shit so should be fun
>>716302507It's this same song and dance every time, nobody will ever learn. Psychopaths ruin MMOs.
>>716305040>Hello newfriend
>>716306921It was pointed out in another one of these threads, but why don't any of these custom servers implement anti-griefing measures? It's a little extreme but if you straight up took away the ability for higher level players (3+ levels over maybe) from targeting lower level players would anyone be able to complain? Anyone complaining would just make it apparent they aren't interested in real pvp, only griefing.
>>716307384Nothing would help, not even dishonor points. Nothing deters psychopaths. All they want to do is grief, it's the only joy in their lives.
>>716307453>Nothing deters psychopathsThat's just defeatism. I guess we shouldn't have police irl, because psychopaths are invincible, there's just no stopping them.
>>716307554That's a false equivalency, you can lock criminals up and execute them, psychopaths on the internet have no way to be effectively punished. The more extreme psychopaths will ban evade to get their griefing fix. The only thing you can do is make your game fundamentally unappealing to them in the first place. Never give pvptrannies an inch, they will take a mile.
>>716307667I'm just idly spitballing ideas here, I'm completely fine with PvE servers. Maybe no one's tried this because as you sort of suggest, the only ones truly interested in PvP servers are all griefers so this would defeat the purpose. There's tons of things that could be done to stop griefers but if your entire audience is griefers then it is indeed pointless.
>>716307782>the only ones truly interested in PvP servers are all griefers so this would defeat the purposeThis is why they cry and bitch and moan about forcing everyone to play with them on PVP servers. They don't actually want to play on PVP servers, they want YOU to be forced to play with THEM. Their server is going to be dead by the end of next month, guaranteed.
>resilience
Like being fucking ganked by bis autists wasnt enough, you cant even fight back in pve/leveling gear. Fuck pvp realms.
>>716308024>No you don't understand, that's the fun and emergent gameplay and you're a pussy if you disagree
what's the difference? how long after opening will the leveling zones under 30 not be packed to the brim?
>>716301405 (OP)Why can't anyone make a server that changes literally nothing? Just make a server that's a precise 1:1 replica of old wow with nothing added.
>>716307453Psychos / Griefers can be really determined at times, I remember getting spawncamped by some rogue 20+ times, he seemed to never get tired
>>716301405 (OP)Is it the dogshit 1.14 client?
If it is. Lol
>>716308750We had fucktons of those. Did you miss out? There's probably still some out there, just with very low population, because almost everyone interested in that concept has had their fill of that many times over.
>>716308729The crowds will thin out after the first 5 days. After a month it will be like every other pserver and 1-30 zones will be dead.
>>716308805You basically just have to log out or play a different toon on the other faction.
>>716301405 (OP)>mfw big changes and rogues get fucking 1h axes
>>716302339they barely have any populace numbers and already are splitting? wew
>>716308750It's boring and we've all seen the old stuff, people want something new.
>>716308750ppl did that 4 last 15 years bro. its time for ++
Is the 2 characters per account the limit forever or just for right now? I really wanted to play a nice handful of classes.
>>716302339it makes sense when you consider they already announcing they'll be hard capping the population early on. it's just that dilemma which server to pick because you know one's going to end up dead in half a year.
>>716305167dilemma of choice. doom of our civilization
>>716305167Don't worry lil psycho, there's still world bosses you and your buttbuddies can set up ganks for. You "people" have friends, don't you?
>>716301405 (OP)There is nothing special about Nost, dunno why it gets overhyped.
It's just another Classic+ server like Turtle or Ascension.
>>716309061Just for name reservation
>>716309061should be only before full launch, so ppl dont eat up every single sane name
>>716308750The older clients are shit. In my opinion Wrath client is the one that's actually usable interface options and addon-wise. Classic doesn't even have auto-loot.
>>716301405 (OP)>no new races or racesBoring
>>716309313>There is nothing special about Nost,Dat serv birtheded classic wdym
ELI5 why a person into the idea of Classic+ should play this instead of Turtle who have been doing a pretty good job fleshing the world out?
Genuinely curious because I haven't heard about this project at all but now a couple of my wow buds randomly say they're gonna play this instead of mop classic.
Nobody is forcing PVE carebares to play on PVP. I don't understand why the carebares are so livid?
For anyone thinking about playing a rogue just to kill low levels like in red ridge, I would like you to consider picking druid.
Druid lets you quickly level as a tank while in feral spec and most importantly you get track humanoid. Track humanoid for killing low levels has been insanely helpful and I've found tons of people I would of missed if I didnt have it.
>>716310312>carebares Imagine if you spent that time learning how to spell instead of ganking lowbies.
>>716301405 (OP)>no worgen>no draenei>no goblins>no blood elvesim not playing
>>716310818And that's a good thing!
>>716310310If you haven't heard of Epoch until now you just haven't paid any attention to the WoW private server scene. Epochs release has been edged for years. Also, if you compare Turtles custom content to Epochs the difference is night and day.
>>716310883they've been working on the server for so long they might have included those races but nooooooo MUH CLASSIC!!1 JUST COPY PASTE THEIR STARTING ZONES INTO THE GAME, DONE.
NOT PLAYING!!!!
>>716308936The stress test was for 2,000 players. The theoretical limit for the server is 5,000 players. There are 33,000 members on the Discord.
>>716309205Who raped you in STV, my butthurt little friend?
>>716309313It was the time period in which it came out and the random chance of it getting big.
>>716310312Because instead of getting a 2nd PVE server that everybody could play on, they instead casted pearls before swine and threw you subhuman gorilla niggers a bone that you'll chew up and discard in a month.
>game requires elevated privileges to launch
>application binaries have changed and are now unsigned
>all that should happen in reality is you point an old client to a different server
uh huh
>>716310312Trannies are mentally insane and are mad people even have the option of not playing with them. They see picking the pvp server as a personal attack against them, picking the pvp server means their server suffers for it by not having that player on it.
>>716311678Some servers straight up use a RCE vulnerability to patch client in runtime.
Would that feel better to you?
>>716311825nta but nothing should use elevated privileges ever baka
>>716311825In case it passed over your head, I'm not retarded enough to install this malware anon.
>>716301405 (OP)Why Blizz charge for classic servers again? Data scrapping chink gold selling enabling NIGGERS. At least I am not gaslit on a pserver regarding moderation being in leagues with chinaman.
btw the server really using resilience? That's fucked.
>>716311951Every server using on an old client without a custom patch has a vulnerability that lets the server owner execute any code on your computer. They're all malware.
>>716312109What's wrong with resilience?
>>716312281I don't think the gear separation between pvp and pve is good for the game.
>>716312248I'm well aware, that's why I posted what I posted.

>>716304573>pvp serverbased. downloading now.
>>716312397Why? One of the biggest things people hated about classic pvp was naxx gear being absolutely broken in pvp. If you don't want to do raids to get gear you shouldn't have to to do pvp.
>>716312248run it inside a VM if you're that scared. it's a 2008 game, it runs on a potato
>>716312578I'm on linux and don't care, but that anon is complaining about this server specifically being malware.
>>716312563But that's fine, means raid gear is the one all be all goal. With resilience there's a split of the community.
>>716312709Would you prefer seasonal PVP gear to be on the same power level as the current raid tier then? Since there already is a split in the community based on the activities they want to pursue.
>>716312709If people wanted to raid, they'd raid and they would be getting raid gear to keep raiding. If people want to pvp, they'll pvp and will get pvp gear to keep pvping.
Forcing people to do raids which requires months of weekly log outs and something you'd need to keep doing as long as you play because of item level power creep, having to join and communicate with a guild focused on raiding, grinding gold for things like raiding consumes and res gear and all the other shit you have to do as a full time raider just so you can get pve gear and use it in a completely different game mode is fucking dumb and you're an absolute fucking mouth breathing retard for thinking its a good thing.
This isn't retail where blizzards sucks off their chink overlords, GDKP is banned so you're going to have to be a full time raider to get that gear.
You're asking people to be a full time raider on top of being a full time pvper when all they want is gear for pvp which is in the game, it just gets outclassed by shit in naxx.
>>716313708This. I fucking hate raiding just to be able to PvP.
>>716313673Yeah that sounds good.
>>716313708Anon modern wow lack of community started when blizzard slashed content in half and gave each part to a different community inside the game. Then they slashed those halfs in two to appease other sub-communities, in the end everybody lost.
>>716306029Everlook had over 30 000 in discord at launch but struggled to get 700 people online by the time Naxx came out
Most players are just chasing nostalgia or a fad and Epoch will bleed players like any other server
>>716314227According to Everlook's site its weekly concurrent player max is OVER NINE THOUSAND. Also, isn't Everlook just another bog standard 1.12 client vanilla server?
>>716314012What the fuck does that have to do with resilience gear on a private server you esl retard?
If you do pvp you should get the gear to keep doing pvp just like if you do in pve.
Since you're crying so hard about a divided community and you should be doing content on both sides to get gear, so I'm sure you're one of those sweats who grinded to rank 14 and the pvp weapons in original classic to do BWL better right? Post it.

Uuhhhhh where PvP realm?
>>716314506I just dont see any issue regarding getting raid gear and doing pvp with it sometimes. Resilience bricks that dynamic, essentially divides progression in two categories, so I have to do catch up duty if I decide to change categories at any point, a typical blizzard band-aid fix.
I haven't played wow in half a decade, didn't blizz tried to move away from this pvp-pve division recently?

>>716315883private server so druid always
>>716315146If you're only doing pvp "sometimes", why the fuck do you care? You obviously don't want to do pvp so why should you just get pvp gear for free? If you pvp you will get pvp gear.
>>716316471What retard private servers have you been on? I've been on a bunch from Emerald Dream to TwinStar and I've never seen Druids be better healers than priests or even Shamans.
>Spend 2 and a half years waiting for this
>Completely set on playing a PvE realm
>2 days before launch they put up a PvP one
>Don't know which will be dead in 6 months time
>>716317028Obviously PVP you mong.
>>716317028the pvp server will definitely be fine, pvp servers are always the most populated like on retail vanilla
the only reason people think the pvp server might die is because of turtle but its pvp server was added like 5 years after the pve server and it came out when sod dropped
>>716317028I'm making the same characters on both servers and am playing PvE first
I'm only touching PvP if the factions seem balanced
>>716317449They've already announced there are faction balance measures in place.
>>716309416I don't understand why servers STILL haven't come up with a way to allow name to be non-unique. Even something as simple as adding a hidden 4 digit alpha-numeric field would allow creating almost 1.7 million characters with the same name.
>>716317028Just take a look at historical facts about PVP servers, they all either end up completely one-sided or die altogether.
>>716317526I'll believe it when I see it
>>716316782Druid were really broken in TBC arena, werent they? Since a lot of this is based on TBC, wouldnt they be good here too?
>>716317543I'd love for every rogue in red ridge named redridgeguy.
>>716317621https://www.project-epoch.net/classes/druid/
Just look at the class changes. Mostly Feral stuff, almost nothing about healing other than Treeform and a normal rez spell. It's mostly affecting their viability as a leveling class more than anything.
>>716317543i just wish they let you have a first and last name, i feel like that would alleviate a lot of the problems with names. so you could have "sasuke mograine" or whatever
>>716305434Because it takes time and work to do so
gona level to 30 in 24hrs and gank in redridge for 3 days straight
>>716305434esl
also like the other guy said, back then people just wanted vanilla again and played nost because it was vanilla and the most popular vanilla server. it made blizzard give us official vanilla and that was over 6 years ago and its already relaunched and is about to go into tbc.
since we have offical vanilla and those other classic wow expacs available private servers have to compete against that and the thing people want now is vanilla+. turtle wow did vanilla+ but it wasn't very good, blizzard tried with sod and a lot of people hated it also it died, ascension is doing it with bronze beard but it looks more like sod+ then vanilla+.
epoch is probably going to be the "nost 2" and will the big private server people will talk about for years.
i love how you need to keep your computer open to RCE to play the version of wow without sexy women replaced with fruit pictures
>>716319037>RCEShould i be worried about it?
>>716307384It has the potential to create more problems than it solves
>Level appropriate twink>Kills everyone in the area easily>Can't be killed by max level charactersYou could add something like, killing X people in an hour or something will flag you as killable by high level players, but that would require more work to implement if it's even possible at all

Rollan a gnome priest on the pvp server
Let's go lads
breaking the game into two servers is a mistake and it just killed all my hype
pure pvp is boring. pure pve is boring, i liked mixing up both at my own choosing
>>716302339I made the mistake of playing on PVP server in turtle. that realm died after 2 weeks.
PVE is the server everyone is going.
>>716319912>i liked mixing up both at my own choosingThat's just self flagging on the PVE server isn't it?
>>716301405 (OP)>Undead paladins>Nerfed instance farming>Nothing done about a single group controlling world bossesYea, that is a NO from me
>>716307384Number 1, its not worth the hassle and it will just cause random problems and there are weird limitations because of how the game is designed. Reminder, we're talking about a game for the majority of its life they couldn't increase the size of the players starter backpack because of tech limitations.
Number 2, killing low levels is a completely overblown issue. People who act like it's such a common and constant thing that makes it impossible to level when in actuality its not.
Number 3, This is a social game and if you're having trouble with a high level killing you you can announce it in world chat or to your guild and most likely you will get multiple high levels come and kill him for you.
Number 4, you're signing up for this to some degree by deciding to play on a pvp server.
Finally, you can just fucking report them, holy shit. You don't need some nigger rigged solution shoved into this 20+ year old client for this "problem" when you can just fucking report them. If it is taken to far, it is considered harassment and they can be banned for it.
You ignoring how the most obvious thing in the world, reporting them, isn't the solution to harassment shows you're not actually getting harassed. Some rogue kills you once or twice and thats it but you sit there and fucking mald about it for the rest of your life.

>but Turtle's PvP server died!You mean the PvP realm that launched 7 years after Turtle's community of PvE Carebears had already entrenched itself on its main PvE realm? The PvP realm that launched with a fraction of Epoch's players? The PvP realm that launched a month before Season of Discovery siphoned away all of its players?
The circumstances are completely different:
>Epoch is launching with greater interest than Turtle did>official Classic is entering MoP and Season of Discovery is officially over>PvE and PvP are launching at the same time>because it's the only PvP realm, there's no realm transfers and therefore the faction balance will remain within 60:40, but probably closer to 50:50
>>716321102Personally I'm glad you PvP niggerfaggots aren't on Kezan to clog up the queue

>>716321102>>because it's the only PvP realm, there's no realm transfers and therefore the faction balance will remain within 60:40, but probably closer to 50:50They've already said there will be measures in place to force faction balance. Plus because you can use any races racials even if they're from the opposite factions I really don't see why people would all flood to horde this time.
>>716321102>faction balance will remain within 60:40, but probably closer to 50:50Delusional

*gets ganked for 4 hours out of his 5h play session because he's on the wrong faction*
h-haha you t-trannies
>>716321480When faction balance isn't enforced a lot of the time they end up being a 95 / 5 split with most of those kinds of servers horde majority. People mostly picked horde specifically for their racials like orcs stun resist or wotf which makes them great in pvp, but on epoch you can use any races racials.
Also, the majority of players prefer playing as humans and nelfs, so I feel like the majority will SHOULD be alliance this time unless people are literal npcs and pick horde because "its the pvp faction" and don't know about race changes.
>>716319912I've played on PVP servers for decades and never had issues, just don't get mad when they kill your pixels and team up with buddies to throw people off cliffs with mind control to unwind after a long day at work
>>716321998I've never understood Alliance players. I've tried the faction multiple times and it's just so god damn boring.
Has there ever been a casual WoW server with TBC, WoTLK and Legion expansions? And that skips Cata, MoP and Dreanor?

>DwarvesUgly and funny accents. My least favorite, probably. Dun Morogh is comfy at least.
>DraeneiSecond least favorite. Their starting zone spaceship aesthetics are sort of cool. The race itself is kind of stupid looking though.
I don't care about anything added after Wrath, it's all gay after that.
>>716322682>tags your mobI'm the same faction as you Anon, what are you gonna do about it?
>>716322794Why are you talking about blood elves and draenei?
>>716322794>immediate racism
Just play Turtle PvE, if you like wpvp you don't actually play WoW
Kezan will be easy rating in arena due to all the dad gamers coming from SOD, these players are dogshit.
>>716322885Tried to throw the horde a bone, but in doing so I was forced to expand the scope of discussion to BC I guess.
>>716323005Racism is a dish best served piping hot out of the oven.
>>716322794>WestfallI'd like some passerby to elaborate on westfall distaste, seems to be commonly widespread but I never found it particularly bad myself.
>>716323424I've seen it lately too, I have no clue why people would dislike it. The only annoying quest is the courier one.
>>716322794>KFC mudhuts>cute and funnySo Alliance players are... racist pedophiles?
>>716323354>throw the horde a bone>by adding the normalfag race to the discussion
Do NOT play a dps warrior or paladin
your ass is not getting a raid spot if these numbers hold up
>>716323424>youtuber made a video calling westfall bad>it's now the prevailing opinion among alliancegolems because they are incapable of thinking for themselvessimple as
>>716323627I mean they get the sexy shortstack gnomes and one of the most common thing they call the horde is noshoes.
Warrior, hunter or warlock for raiding as dps?
Turtle raids are always looking for more rangeds but I don't know if thats a constant for private servers or specific for turtle
>>716322794>orcs are le niggersWhere do you faggots come from? twatter?
>>716323723lock or hunter, easier to find raid spots and rdps is way more chill than mdps.
>>716323424Ugly yellow dead grass palette. Awful Westfall Stew quest that should be skipped always. Goretusk liver pie should probably also be skipped. Murloc Quest that requires you kill murlocs all the way across the entire coastline spanning an overly long range of levels. By the time you're ready to start killing the higher level murlocs the low level ones the quest wants are probably gray which will make you want to just skip it. Defias Messenger is annoying. The escort quest is very tough, pretty much impossible to solo at that level. Aside from that, it's fine I guess.
>>716323723This is based on tbc so warlock will be the top dps and also one of the least played.
>>716323723lock dps is the most brainless shit imaginable, its just shadowbolt spam over and over
>>716323627orcs invade our lands and everything turns to shit, of course we're racist
>>716323883I'm going full affliction
>>716323883And That's A Good Thing!
Luv me shadowbolts, sorry succ you're getting sac'd
>want to play a chill caster dps that just spams 1 ability
>also want to be able to actually get into dungeon groups and play the game instead of going "lf2m tank heals" for 2 hours
hope nobody else is playing boomy for raids because it's a druid's life for me
>>716322610nta but it was revealed to him in a dream by me.
>>716324062God forgiven me but recently I've played retail and leveled a warlock, the only time I've ever felt satisfied pressing a key was pressing chaos bolt. If I could just sit in raid and press nothing but chaos bolt I'd be happy.
>>716324461back in MoP there was this stat called multistrike and when it'd proc you'd see duplicates of your spell fly by. you'd chaos bolt and then have little chaos bolts following it, good times
Just remembered you can do sl/sl warlock with tbc talents
>>716323627>>716323005kill yourself niggerfaggot
>>716324389>>716324389>Druid complaining for the lack of healers/tanksDisgusting
At least do the dungeon grind as heal/tank, nobody will complain if you roll on dps stuff, I've done it on multiple servers
>>716325891you retarded or something, pal?
>>716323424Aside from the Defias storyline the quests in the zone itself are really dull. It's almost entirely cooking or loot quests where you need to get a bunch of boar livers and snouts, vulture meat, okra, hops, paws, bandanas, oil, and a bunch of other stuff. Unless you get super lucky with a bunch of bags, your inventory will be 90% sellable quest items. All of the mobs for those quests are spread far apart so you can't just focus on one. The main reason why people like it is because of Nostalgia, and because Elwynn/Duskwood are both great.
The treasure map quest is really cool though, and I like how the Defias quests stretch through multiple zones to tell a good story.
>>716326246People also forget that they added a bunch of new quests and other shit to discover, I wouldn't write off any zone just yet, unless you genuinely just hate traversing it which is fair. Could just be a rare spawn with some cool loot or whatever
>>716325270What's the matter, snowflake? Feeling triggered?
>>716326049It's spelled retribution
>>716321318what if u dont have frens
I am a brown man and I choose a fresh epoch server
who with me
>>716326683I'll be your fren, /whisper Rex and we can level together once we reach the barrens
>>716326683be social ingame and you will get friends
>>716320205>if you're having trouble with a high level killing you you can announce it in world chat or to your guild and most likely you will get multiple high levels come and kill him for you.This literally never happens.
>>716326570Yeah I'd imagine (or hope) they improve some of the zones that need help, so there's a good chance places like Westfall or Stonetalon will get some better quests. I'm mostly just explaining why some people (me) don't like Westfall as much as the other early zones.
>>716326871Have fun on the PvP server with all the other third worlders!
>>716326907What if I'm a dirty dps class?
>>716326897kek, i understood that reference
>>716323723Warrior pumps the hardest. a lot of the other specs that people think will be viable are not besides bringing them in one slot for the raidwide buff.
>>716326982Yeah for sure, I just replied to you cause I didn't wanna mass reply to every post about westfall.
It's gonna be worth stopping by there at least for the deadmines quests since they added new mechanics. I'll be horde and who knows if there's gonna be quests, I'll just do it once without any, still has good loot in there regardless
>PvP server attracts all the niggers, chinks, russians, brazilians, and assorted other third worlder scum
>Dies in a month
>Practically none of them will want to reroll on the PvE server
>Meanwhile PvE players get to enjoy drastically lower queue times
Seems like a smart idea to me.
>>716322794I love Dorfs but the one thing that always prevented me from playing them is the animations. Both 1-Handed and 2-Handed special attack has the Dorf do this insanely impractical 180-degree spin that just looks nothing like an actual attack move.
>>716327117socialize with people who don't share your gear type
when zugzugman the orc warrior tank is looking at his friends list for people to invite to razorfen downs he's going to pick clothies or leather wearers
be on that list
>>716326897@Ross
BAN HIM HE'S SAYING THE FORBIDDEN NAME
>>716327117Just be social and chill and play one that brings utility.
Just donโt be that guy who plays a warrior and then refuses to tank when asked if you want people to like or respect you.
>>716301405 (OP)stop hyping this up please. the queues will already be 10 hours long
>>716327486i love goofy ass animations

>>716326656oh you cheeky cunt you
who is making the /v/ guild?
which server and faction are we on?
>>716328332/v/ players suck ass. i swear on turtle there is like 2 people on /vg/ progging UKH and that includes myself. the rest cry about trannies.
>>716328332seconding this
As long as we go Alliance
I will play ze warlock
I will walk to the instance
I will summon you inside
All this for free, for you my friend
>>716328332As long as it's not a /vg/ guild...
>>716328332no guilds, just play on Kezan
>>716328616Summoning stones need 1 less person, so outside of repair runs warlocks are obsolete
>>716328871There's no "obsolete" class Anon, they all do useful things.
>>716329039I mean the summoning specifically
>>716328616I almost want to play mage but rune of power as a baseline sounds incredibly unfun. Would sooner play a memespec like shadow.
>>716329173Weren't arcane mages really good in tbc? And they got extra shit on top here
>>716329387yes I just donโt want to have to stand in ze circle
>>716329387NTA but this isn't really about class/spec viability.
The rune is unfun to the max. I had considered to play mage as well but after I saw that I immediately nope'd out.
>>716329678Yeah rune of power sucks ass. I don't know why they kept it in.
>>716329678>>716329545Just... don't pay much mind to optimizing it's use?
Not every retardin will be seal twisting, and they'll still be everywhere
>>716328481>As long as we go Alliance>Cross Faction: Grouping (Dungeons / Raids / World), Guilds, Mail, Auction House, Trade, and Cross Faction Chat.No need to pick.
>Faction population was slated to be an even 50/50 before the PVP server was announced
>Now both servers are lopsided
like clockwork
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LARV60Sj6d4cv8cx_0hNKMts8wSe51_7FUZRpY8gAC8/
>>716329826There is no "optimizing its use", you either use it or don't. And assuming they balanced the numbers around the available abilities, if you don't use it you will suck and that will be 100% on you for refusing to use free damage.
>>716302339don't get tricked by the pvp server, they only made it to split the playerbase and reduce queue times.
pve server will have warmode and more players, there's no reason to play on the pvp server unless you care about queue times but they will be gone in a week most likely.
pvp server will die faster than the pve server and I doubt they will merge the servers
pvp is better for short term, pve is better for long term
>>716329916>1/4 of the pvp pop is roguesI'm sure everyone involved will appreciate the experience.
>>716329916PvE server is crossfaction so I don't care lmao
>>716329916I unironically think splitting into two servers is going to ruin this unless they say outright that they will give free transfers between servers. If the PVP server dies in a month no one is going to reroll.
>>716330424>When the PVP server dies in a month no one is going to reroll.ftfy, also that's a good thing
>>716330115Use it whenever you feel like, leave it when it's inconvenient.
You still get some mileage and in a 2-3m boss fight it's only a 1.7-2.5% boost when used optimally.
Half the specs will probably doing significantly less damage anyway.
You don't have to be the sweatiest pumper with the hottest parses on the server, you know
>>716330363The real fun will be in playing a rogue on the PVE server, getting free raid invites and first dibs on all the loot, and spending all day in the enemy capital ganking PVP flagged people coming out of BG's
>>71633039225mans, world bosses, BG's and arenas are still single faction
most non-socializing guilds will still be single faction even on Kezan
>>716330560>end of life planwhy so vague?
>>716330696Because they're busy worried about more pressing concerns like the upcoming launch in a few days probably.
>>716330674>25mans [...] are still single factionHuh?
>>716330948Never mind, that was an outdated decision
>>716329545I never understood this complaint, it's not like you're ever running around that much when casting as a mage anyway.
>>716330674>pvp, pvp, and world bosses no one will care about a few months in aren't cross-factionWho cares?
>>716323883lets go with incinerate then
>>716330424>If the PVP server dies in a month no one is going to reroll.>IfI don't want to play with any of those fags, let them off themselves in their containment server.
>>716323975they often say reality imitates fiction
Will give the game a shot after the first few weeks of launch. I have a feeling that it will be borderline unplayable for a while.
Nice thing is that all the shitters on HC Doomhowl will probably bounce onto Epoch if they havent already migrated to OSRS so I can actually do some endgame content on my priest for the time being.
>>716327491And miss out on paraimg every pull?
You're talking crazy man
>>716301405 (OP)How is this different from Turtle WoW?
>>716330424>have a containment server for thirdies and turbo autists while simultaneously smoothing out the launch for the main serverbased. im even more excited to play now
>>716332142It's more like TBC classes in Classic, while Turtle is more custom
also it's fresh
>>716332210When Kezan dies from inactivity you will get merged with Gurubashi or forced to reroll anyway.
Have fun being a month behind everyone else and getting dabbed on by 60s in full pvp gear.
It's crazy how mad PvE players are over the existence of a PvP server. It's like their entire existence is threatened somehow.

>>716332635You know there's alliance shaman on this server right?
>>716332635The sample size is fucked, I doubt it'll actually be like that
>>71633263530% of those results are tank classes.
>>716302339PvP server will have all the autismo spergs who have done nothing but tryhard private servers/classic for over a decade. So unless you want to play hardmode and get nothing done, play on the PvE server.

-t 2014 hours played on Steam
>>716332921What part of it looks anomalous to you? Horde players always gravitate to PVP servers and alliance to PVE, it happens every time
>>716333020then why did you play it for that long
sounds like it's really good
>>716302507They hated him because he told the truth.
>all the players are going to be balding millennial faggot manchildren and 3rd worlders attempting to sell them gold
>>716333074Engineering being such a small % of professions on the PvP server while being a much larger one on the PvE one is immediately suspect. And with a sample size that small, this is basically a useless poll
If they don't change the visual on Troll Priest racial from lightning shield to the TBC one its DOA
>>716333527With the time you too to write that out you could've double checked the graph.
>>716333654>flipped around the twolel whoops
>>716333074i doubt the 36% vs 64% pvp vs pve server populations
you are right about faction balance
>>716333384How does them being bald affect you personally?
This server is going to be so exploitable. You get XP from PvP so you can just get a 2nd account and dual box killing yourself over and over to power level while you eat a sandwich.
>>716334267yeah itโs almost like wpvp is a total afterthought
>>716323724They're SPACE niggers. Get that right, at least.
>>716334267so true so true (I too havent read the rules)
>>716334267Multiboxing is bannable
>>716334440Doesn't matter. There's hardly any way to enforce it so people will still do it. Bots are against the rules too but they're still everywhere on every server.
>>716334441insane testosterone on the left, dude is straight out of the paleolithic era. an instinctual killer ready to defend his stranglethorn vale, unburned by modern thoughts with his other great ape hybrids

no

I was spoiled on single player private servers, it's way too hard for me to go back to playing with players. The MMO community now is just such absolute dogshit. It's filled to the brim with wannabe streamer min/maxxers and no one is allowed to have fun anymore unless you're trying to copy some meme some zoomer saw from discord. I fucking hate MMOs now
>>716323062Turtlewow rocks.

>>716336067>https://solocraft.org/Thx me later
>>716323724You can infer what each race is an analogue of by examining their /dance emote.
lol have you guys even used private servers before? they're hypervigilant when it comes to cheating. GMs will literally walk around and message people they think are bots and doing shit like crafting. if you don't respond they ban you there and then as they assume you're botting.
>>716336370this is such a dumb argument there will be massive "wars" at the least as soon as hillsbrad where raids will be formed these will no doubt be the best xp and the most fun more than likely especially at the 30 wall
>>716336449explains a lot about draenei players
>>716302654not world pvp though. you only go in the world to complete a task, and when your task is not pvp it's a waste of your time.
>>716332142less trannies, hopefully better custom content (turtle's is laughably bad), WOTLK client instead of 1.12, TBC talents, more difficult, a day/night cycle that influences the world and a bunch of other stuff
>>716336525Actual zerg rush PvP is going to look nothing like you sitting there AFK at the graveyard taking turns auto attacking "eachother" to death.
>>716323724>basketball americans obsessed with shoes>horde literally have NO SHOESi dont get it either
Will end game be an autistic spergfest like every single private server ever or do you think there will be an actual casual playerbase at max level? Turtle is fucking miserable in this regard just like every single private server I've played in the past.
>>716336760It's probably a way to lash out as a coping mechanism when confronted with the fact that they have gnomes within their faction.
>>716336984The SoD refugees and sweats are all going to be on Gurubashi
For better or worse Kezan will be dadgamer casual central
>>716336984It will always be an autistic spergfest, but the earlier you get in, the better chance you have of meeting normal people
>>716337072>For better or worse Kezan will be dadgamer casual centralI hope you're right because that sounds great.
>>716336697Yes anon, the trannies can't hurt you on epoch.
>>716336984Turtle is pretty pug friendly imo. I worry the SOD refugee faggots will be asking for logs and gear checks for fucking MC. These are the people that got filtered by Kelris.
>>716337072>Less faggots that only raid to get gear to PvP ruining the raidWow and what's the downsides?

kek
>>716332921This. Pitiful sample size.
>>716317226>pvp servers are always the most populated like on retail vanilla99_% one faction pvp servers might as well be pve
It's all fun and games until it turns into a Metafaggotry, Chink Gold seller infested, Try hard server
>>716317226Tel'Abim did recover a bit overtime and has 2k peaks but generally the vanilla plus scene seems to be a bunch of dad gamers.
It will be interesting to see if people stay on Gurubashi in large numbers there is always the sweats camping lowbies that hurt these servers. PVP def stat makes it so PVE geared players can't fight back either.
>>716339327>Chink Gold seller infestedWell, there is no escaping this, but maybe banning GDKP will lessen the infestation.
Retail > pservers slop > classic classic+
>>716329916>autists will run alliance into extinction then beg for cross realm pvp or transfersNO ONE WILL SEE THIS COMING
>>716339327>>716339785also banning world buffs in raids could help
>>716314227everchink got culled when the chinkypoos took over, i had like 10 friends playing with me there
eventually the majority of the city turns into empty speech bubbles, botlike behaviour and general subhumanity
chinks are like locusts, never let them play with humans
>>716339998world buffs are meaningless when you have bloodlust. every raid fight is going to last like 20 seconds and be easy as piss, classic was not tuned for how overpowered you get in TBC
it will be hilarious how soon people realize this once they get to end game
>>716340031why cant/dont chinks just make their own servers ?
>>716340096The raid size is 25man, there's obviously some rebalancing being done. Also T2 is Uldum so who fucking knows how it's going to be
>>716340096>classic was not tuned for how overpowered you get in TBCClassic was not tuned for high speed internet or playable frame rates.
I used to raid at 12 fps and 200 ping on most boss fights.
>>716340279>there's obviously some rebalancing being doneand the only source you have on this is a bunch of chatgpt written blogposts on their site
no one has ever successfully rebalanced classic wow better than blizzard managed to do and blizzard was fucking dogshit at it. it's always some bullshit powerfantasy or nerfing everything into the ground
I havenโt played WoW since MoP and never tried any earlier expansions, so this will be my first time playing on a classic server.
>>716339998idk if you're memeing about official Classic or something, but world buffs don't work in raids on pochie
>>716340461what're you gonna play?
>>716340428Except every "traditional" private server from Nostalrius to Elysium had their own balancing for mobs that made official Classic an easymode joke by comparison, that and official Classic did retarded shit like launching with post-Naxxramas talent reworks and hot-shotting the PvP rank system in an entire tier early.
>>716340428Still better than leaving it as is where Warriors are a billion times better than everything else. Not to mention garbage like Mages being turned into the boosting/power leveling class. It was honestly disgusting to see what Classic turned into when the current MMO playerbase got their hands on it.
>>716340428>and the only source you have on this is a bunch of chatgpt written blogposts on their siteThere's like a dozen raid test videos from the last beta you can watch for yourself, retard.
>>716340428Just the fact that the raid size goes from 40 to 25 means there's going to be a difference. Or are you saying that it isn't actually 25man?
>>716340615pvp, I have no friends and thatโs what I did when I played retail.
>>716340216because they are parasites
>>716340857I meant your class brudda
>>716340096Wbuffs are disabled in raids. The issue is more all the rets and feral/boomies thinking they will get a spot in raid and that epoch fixed the balance.
TBC design you bring almost 1 of each spec for buffs but the rest will be the meta pumpers. No one is brining 4 ferals and 5 rets.
>>716339327>turns into a Metafaggotrymark of our times, everything does eventually
>>716340096They retuned the entire game to play nice with TBC class balance
>>716340793Warriors are still the top pumpers on Epoch.
>>716308936Theres 30k people in the discord and over 60k registered accounts/characters in the name reservation alone, and its growing 1-2k per hour. 1 server, hell 2 probably cant handle it.
>>716340950You think it's just going to be the same meta as in TBC? I think gearing being completely different will have a huge impact on what is good and what isn't. And even though it's largely the same as TBC, it isn't exactly 1-to-1
>>716341126Yeah this servers balance looks like shit, supposedly the main dev is a Warrior main and coincidentally they're getting Bladestorm on top of remaining the best DPS and tanking class in the game with how they've chosen to balance it.
>>716340950Yeah with raid wide buffs you will just have one of each class and 15 fury warriors just like classic, I sure love WoW classic
Unless they overhauled itemization (which I highly doubt as none of these private server people know how to balance shit. they always have favorite classes and make those the OP ones as they play them)
>>716341045I feel like you can always just ignore the metagame and do your own thing. It's the master mentality.

>>716341617People still think that vanilla PvP is about dueling outside of Orgrimmar which is the only thing Horde has an intrinsic advantage in. When the meta to gaining honor is objective control and glorified PvE battlegrounds Orc stun resist and WotF really don't matter shit compared to having the healer/druid monopoly for WSG, Paladins able to guarantee stall out points with zero counterplay for half a rez timer no matter how many people pile on them for AB, and the entire fucking joke of a map layout for AV.

The orc players I knew in classic were freaking out about what's wrong with steroids and man tits while trying to talk about how they couldn't type the n-word in retail "Don't ask how I know" to a room full of chatter that immediately went silent.

>>716342156>r*sskiesGee, I don't know. Like 200% before the download page even loaded?
>>716341917In addition to this, there's also the fact that players who PvP in BGs and arenas are always going to be PvP-oriented players with a few exceptions like AV. It doesn't matter whether you play Alliance or Horde - you're going to end up playing against people who want to and ideally know how to PvP.
Even in the open world, it doesn't really matter much. I've been ganked by Alliance. I've been ganked by Horde. Everyone fights everyone, and if there is a difference between the two factions in WPvP it's not statistically significant enough for me to have felt it at all across 15+ years of alternating factions on PvP realms.
I just started playing Turtle, I really liked the high elf starting zone.

>>716342107>waste their timeyou waste time by playing video games period
some people enjoy territorial disputes, i often gank enemies in contested zones with my friends (never when i'm more than 10lv ahead, but still)
playing the game like a grass eater, speedrunning leveling just so you could spam shadow bolt over and over in the endgame is no way to play, you niggers are blind and just follow "the meta" or "how it's meant to be played"
i want to remain lvl 20 until i'm twinked out, and only then continue, i take my time, i interact
>>716341917The best PVP gear in Epoch will be locked behind arena which will have it's own issues.

Of course horde can just kill the Defias Traitor so anyone who tries to get their quest is shit outta luck
>>716343027I mean its one of the only games you can do this. WoW wpvpers are so mentally ill you are stuck with a 20 year old themepark. Glad your kind killed wpvp to the point all other video games outright did away with it. Enjoy your dying old people tab target dogshit. The entire industry stopped catering to you. You are stuck with chink private servers and old wow to even do it. Once TBC enters in anniversary you are stripped of even that as flying will prevent it outright. Good riddance I say, Vanilla WoW world pvp griefing was a time I think everyone outside a very very very small minority will even give a shit about never returning in gaming. We won.
>>716344038Was that supposed to be a hard raid? Our guild was far from hardcore and we still cleared it. The only fights I still remember are Mimiron and Algalon; those were fun.

>>716345937>Quite possibly the highest pop pserver yetlol lmao even
There's never going to be a pserver with a higher pop than Nost/early Elysium.
Retail Classic took a bunch of players and others have moved on from WoW.
>>716345937It's TBC classes overhauled with Wrath+ abilities/changes but only for the dev's favorite classes
Why yes, I do roll exclusively on PVP servers, refuse to actually engage in PVP, and loudly complain any time someone dares to PVP me, how could you tell?
>>716346190>LF 3 mages spellcleave pumpers only gogoIt's TBC, so it's all about seeding
>>716346606They nerfed the seed and buffed the rain.
We will see how it ends up.
Why doesn't someone take Wildstar and do this whole Vanilla+ thing with that game? That game could still succeed with a rerelease and fine tune some of the endgame stuff to be easier and attunement stuff reworked. I genuinely do not understand why they don't give it another try. I maxed a character on release and it wasn't a bad game just needed to be tweaked. Dungeons were too hard yes but that could easily be fine tuned. I don't understand why the devs don't buy their own game out and relaunch it with easier content.
>>716346784The nerf is .5 higher cast time (negated by the corruption talent) and higher threshold to explosion (actually makes it easier to manage pulls, also negated by a later affli talent)
There's no way these polls are right about Mage being the least played, right?
>>716346906Gee maybe because the only server emulator existing is still barely functional and barely has any progress because barely anyone interested in it?
>>716347248TBC mage isnโt the undisputed god it was in trve vanilla.
>>716347263Private servers will never take off, they are too sketchy. Nobody except brown people want miners installed on their PCs from some sketchy 3rd world modders that pretend to give you a video game for free
>>716329916I hope this is accurate because then my warrior (tank because I'm not a queer) will be top billing for spots.
>>716347248Its not the god class anymore.
>>716347263Made me remember how some argentinian twink was making bank with the City of Heroes server code until someone finally blew the whistle and we now have multiple open servers.
>>716347248Mage got heavily nerfed on this server in terms of farming. Mage counts have typically been inflated on other servers because people made them to solo gold farm or sell boosts, both of which arent possible on here. So the only people playing mage now are just the ones who like being a mage.
>>716347383What do you mean, I play azerothcore right now as we speak and it has no miners, I literally compiled exe files myself.
>consumes 10 minutes of poison
Why the fuck would you even have this as a "downside?"
How are locks? Probably the one class I never touched in any iteration of vanilla.
>>716347472What did they nerf? Genuinely asking, if you can't kite as a mage then the class is useless.
>>716347472Makes it kind of appealing honestly. The class always seemed fun outside of the fact that it was the defacto bot/boost class. Maybe I'll run that instead of Priest.
>>716346552Wasn't Nost something like 8k concurrent? There were that many reserving their name when the name reservation opened. Turtle also has those numbers right now
>>716347587It's called "devs favorite specs" also known as "balanced". Bend over kiddo.
>>716347662Very strong, pretty in-demand for raiding
Downsides are needing to farm a gorillion soul shards before raid, and if you want to get the most out of it in pvp you'll need to actually give a shit about microing your pet
>>716347248It's actually about the same amount of players as you would normally interact with, as the other anons have point out the gold farmers aren't bloating the numbers.
>>716301405 (OP)Don't care, Ascension exists.
>>716347680>Mage (Maybe others) AoEs are capped at 10 targets>Many well known spots in dungeons where people kite mobs back and forth now have invisible walls or force resets on enemies>Boosting in general is banned, but also not really possible because now if a high level hits a grey enemy at all nobody gets EXP>Unverified: Offering to 'sell' your class like "Hey ill join your group on my tank for 5g" is bannable too

>>716348173Idk.
They have a couple of other spell descriptions which aren't correct (i.e. the demo sacrifice lists the felguard despite being impossible to have both) so it could just be a typo.

>>716348827I have always wanted a mage type character that didnt actually do damage in group content or have good offensive spells but rtelid on wands, kinda like a paladin but full caster mode, all utility and auto attacks. The class would be for powerful short term buffs and debuffs and also cast stuff like "circle of protection fire" giving everything inside it like 100 fire resist or something.
>>716349328>>716349353Both siphon life and soul link have been nerfed and almost every other class has been buffed, especially rogue warrior hunter and druid
>>716349453I suspect a lot of PALADINS play without that shit because I can't get a bop to save my life when I get aggro on a caster and the boss slowly RP walks to me to gape me
do they add any lore to make sense of cross-faction?
>>716348009>>Unverified: Offering to 'sell' your class likeWelp, that's a dead server then. Imagine being mage and not being able to sell teleports, a warlock not being able to sell summons, a rogue not being able to sell lock opening, tank not being able to sell tanking ect
>>716349474You just described a shaman
>>716349329I'm playing warlock so I'm gonna need you to go spriest to give me +15% shadow damage and +5% magic damage
thanks bro, appreciate it
no sorry we can't inverse the roles, I've been playing priest on twow for 2 years and I've done my time
>>716349512>Both siphon life and soul link have been nerfedsay it ain't so
>>716349329Both are good in all content. May as well just flip a coin.

>>716349474>Bro finna never tried shaman
>>716349456Not a loot whore but does the damage into mana battery part even scales at a decent rate?

>>716349772Depends on the scaling, on twow it's quite good. It's a % conversion so more dmg = more return. You shouldn't top damage charts by design, but you're an MVP if you actually use your kit: shackles, dispels, fears, etc
also Misery + shadow weaving makes spriest a must have in my humble opinion
Can I heal while wearing plate like in turtle?
>>716349627>>716349767>no healing?>no good offensive spells?>HOLY HECK YOU JUST DESCRIBED A SHAMANi hate zoomers so much its unreal.
>>716349935Priest is very versatile and has two specs so if one is doodoo you at least have another option
Can't speak for the other classes
>>716349935Priest is a good one. Especially with penance from WOTLK.
>All priests have received a new baseline ability available from level 34, Penance: โLaunches a volley of holy light at the target, causing 175 to 214 Holy damage to an enemy, or 491 to 550 healing to an ally instantly and every 1 sec for 2 sec.โ. This ability is inspired by the Wrath of the Lich King with the below key twist.>Shadowform will now dynamically alter Penance giving it a new Shadow visual alongside flipping the potency of the heal / damage to do reduced healing to allies and increased Shadow damage to enemies bringing it into the Shadow DPS toolkit.
>>716350091I don't think they have that anymore, it's not on the class page anyways
>>716350091They removed Penance. It was busted and didn't make sense anyway.
>>716350228Ah damn. Was looking at an old post.
>>716349991Having zero aoe skills is dicks and like you said they wont be topping meters either way
>Disc spell Power Word Barrier: Create a barrier around you, absorbing damage dealt to all party and raid members within it. The barrier lasts for 10 seconds or until it absorbs 5962 damage, increased by up to 250% when affecting a large group. Priest must channel to maintain the spell.
Neat
>>716350631i'll suck your dick for a power infusion
>>716349820don't forget feral can use on-hit weapon effects
>>716350068You didn't actually say no healing. And Shamans in Classic didn't have good offensive spells lamo
>>716349634You really want to top of the charts or you prefer lock for some other reason?
>>716349634Destro lock might want to do fire damage with immolate/conflag/incinerate, dunno about the actual numbers though, and if MC is still fire immune then that's that. But affli would want to be shadow ofc
