World of Warcraft Classic Discussion Megathread

Whatever works on retail is 100% not working in classic to the same extent because the slow mana regen screws up everything.

Yep, sustained output with people sprinting from spawn to spawn to mass-pull everything in sight because infinite mana/focus/energy/rage wasn't a thing until what...Legion? It was well after the whole talent dumbification as I recall.

I thought about rshaman 4 warrior with the BRD trinket and windfury would be fun as hell but warrior back then was a bit more complex to play (and multibox) as today Im afraid (switching battlestance for overpower, slam resetting autohit ect)

Probably wouldn't work as well with a shaman since you have no way of dispelling roots/slows. A priest would work but priests are super squishy compared to paladins.

for pvp yes, i think the best way would be to have the shaman replacing one of the warrior because he brings ranged slow, purge, wf totem, strength, grounding and ranged interrupt so while your healer is dispelling the shaman can screw the casters and once the warriors connect target drops immediately anyway. I dont think blessing of might and freedom make up for that.

I mean it got better in burning crusade when all the casters got some sort of mana regen while casting...in vanilla its basically zero mana gain while casting and for example ele shamans and shadow priests have zero mana reg talents which is why the spec is considered not viable, once you're oom you stay oom. And ofc, the high nature resistance that was was put on some boses in bwl/aq doesnt help us either.

At least the spriest could wand bosses that were wisdom judged for mana :P

Edit: Level 60 spriests were the most powerful in WotLK, just check my signature picture below haha.

Ah yes, mp5 and swing timers....good times.

4 Enhance shamans plus a priest for dispels could potentially work. You would pretty much one shot anything you can touch and 4x grounding totems plus the ability to peel with a ranged slow would make your priest less squishy.

Still pretty hard to beat paladin though. Plate+shield, multiple defensive cooldowns plus they're nearly immune to poly/sap/seduction. Holy paladins were OP in classic PvP.

This is going to be interesteing, I was reading up somewhere that you can have Classic wow if you have an active licence on your battlenet and I was testing out on blizzard beta that I could have multiple Classic wow running on the one battlenet even tho I have 1 BFA licence running.

Does this mean for classic wow as long as you have a BFS licence and subscription available then you can have 1 to many classic wow accounts.

Not exactly. You dont need BFA licence or whatever expansion we will be in the future. You only need an active subscription. You can get an account for each subscription.

This was my understanding as well. The restriction is that non-subscription (trial/free) accounts cannot get into the Classic servers.
