If you could, would you go back to Wrath? and Why or Why not?

[Holmeser]

Basically i'm just interested on what people think of boxing in Cata compared to boxing in Wrath.

If you could go back to any point in Wrath, would you? when and why?

I started boxing properly late in wrath and would like to go back to release and box from the on set.

i'd love to go back to vanilla and box that

I started several months into BC if I recall. I would love to go back to that point in time with what I know now. Hell with even half of what I know now.

And I'd also know to skip buying the Cata expansion until it's on sale somewhere. lol

I feel exactly the same.

The good old days of stacking totems, chain bloodlust. AWW do I miss those days :S

Unfortunately you also had to stack shadow priests and we were always short on those.

Edit: Gear progression in TBC was also absolutely garbage for certain classes, resto druids and shadow priests come to mind who went from crafted primal mooncloth healing set and the shadow weave thing to 4p t6, for most of ssc/tk and during bt/hyjal progression they wore the same gear.

Prot pallys were not viable either till t6 and even then they were wearing warrior pieces.

I also started boxing during wrath and even though Cata is okay I still get annoyed by zone phasings and Cata dungeons seems (my experience so far) a lot more unfriendly for boxers.

So I do hope the next expansion will be more boxer friendly...

That's a tough one.

I started boxing in Burning Crusade, and that is my favorite era of Warcraft.
But my current favorite team is Death Knights, which weren't around back then.

I wouldn't mind if it was the BC world, with tough heroics and the raid content which I loved the most.
But with all the race/class combinations that are available up to and including Cataclysm.
Still a level 70 cap, and the old style of talents that did not force very cookie-cutter builds, with the exception of the final 10 points.

only problems i have with Cata are the healthpools.

As a boxer at level 40-60 you could get lucky and take down a level 70-80 toon. Now its like trying to kill a raid boss.

Sad thing is its only going to get worse.

Vanilla hitpoints = max of about 2200-3800 hps
Burning crusades = max of about 5000-11000 hps in epics and chants
Wrath = max of about 18,000-32,000 hps with pvp gear
Cata = max of about 110,000-160,000.

Thats a huge jump.... i just dont get it.. .its only 5 levels.

Well I've seen some Wrath characters with health pools of 45-60k of health with heroic raid gear on, and even maxxed out with epic PVP gear. really quite disconcearning when you start out with 10-15k of health when you first hit 80 if you're lucky. when my hunter hit 85 he was sitting at a cool 105k health!

Now as to what point in wrath, I'd say roughly when the tournament came out. I started boxing 3 toons shorly after I hit 80 on my hunter and got into raids and what not. But then I saw a character known as Ace. A paladin with 4 mages all named Ace with alternating accented E's or C's.

I was first thinking to myself "Hey thats hacking" then uppon searching forums and chats, I came to realize it wasn't. So after getting capped toons at 80 in LK content I was able to raid with my pally and 2 mages, but I was really wanting to do 5 toon box, so I bit the bullet and when cata launched and I saw wow had a sale on the vanilla, BC and LK I just snapped up another two (don't know why I didnt' get another 20!!!!) and proceeded to level 85 with my first Pally/Shaman5 team!

But I wanted to have that compilation back with my first 3's team in LK but instead when the Tourney came out so I could farm those dailies and pull in tons of gold! However now in cata gold farming especially with 5 toons is like breathing air now lol.

I imagine that I still had another 18 months of exploration to enjoy with a couple of friends. /shrug
