World of Warcraft Classic Discussion Megathread

That's how I'd level them.

You prefer druid over paladin for off-tank? Are the priest buffs enough to warrant giving up the extra mage?

The longer I look at this the more I like it. Thank you.

Human warrior, pallys
Night elf hunter and druid
Gnome priest, mage, warlock or go dwarven priest?

Thanks for the feedback Apatheist.
I've thought about it some more and for my first PVE team I think I'll go:

Mage (Raid toon)- Undead or maybe Troll. I hate the troll model though! Enchanting/Tailoring
Warrior- Orc, maybe Tauren. Skinning/Tailoring
Shaman- Tauren, mainly as it will be my herbalist/miner.

God I love planning out characters in rpgs

If you're planning on playing the mage solo for raids or PvP you're definitely going to want to pick up engineering.

Engineering is pretty much mandatory for everybody in both PvP and PvE in vanilla. Any serious raiding guild will require everybody to have engineering. It's actually great for tanks as well, giving you a high threat AE skill to pull with as well as the force reactive disk and a bunch of other gadgets that are pretty useful.

Goblin sapper charges are also amazing for a boxer. Having 5 characters run in to a pile of enemies and pop an instant 500 damage AE at the same time is a lot of burst.

You won't even need to pug DPS, you can 3man most dungeons while leveling.

Uh, are you sure about this ? I don't ever recall being able to do any dungeon with only 3 (at level)

Depending on several factors. Gear, level and your group composition. Warrior, paladin, mage would be able to 3man most dungeons on level with decent gear. Being a level or two above the mobs reduces incoming damage quite a lot. Paladins have a ton of mana regen between blessings and seal/judgement of wisdom and when you're low on DPS the healers mana is really the limiting factor.

So there is no auto looting in classic, only shit+right click.
In retail I use the 'Interact with Target' on the corps to let my minions pick up their loot. Unfortunately the equivalent to that method in classic would be to shift+'Interact with Target' .. but this comb doesn't work. Does anybody know a workaround other than giving Lootmaster to your main account?

The auto-loot option was present in the BlizzCon demo for Classic, probably because auto-looting was already a thing in Vanilla with Shift+click, so they left it. I don't think the #NoChanges crew is up in arms about his being left in, so I doubt it'll be removed since Blizzard has already stated they'll be using the modern interface on top of the Classic client.

Long time lurker here. I did some 2/3 boxing back in TBC. I’ve been considering getting back into it for classic. What would be the best way to practice between now and launch? Get ISB working on a few retail trial accounts? Try to use HKN or ISB on private servers that permit it? Something else entirely? I understand that any way will likely require adjustments once Classic launches, but I would like to choose the path that minimizes friction in the transition to classic. I probably have more catching up to do working with boxing software than I do on classic gameplay basics. Thanks!

[Harem]

I re-upped my old retail accounts and started leveling new toons so I could work out my ISB setup, macros and addons. Same as you, just trying to prep to be ready when it hits.

I've only run Deadmines and Stockades so far - but, needing the practice, I'll go on up the line.

There is a new WoW Classic beta category on Blizzard's CDN as of today.
