Shamies were OP in vanilla weren't they?

[Mosg2]

Shaman weren't OP at all in vanilla. I mean, you needed one for Bloodlust in raiding, but they weren't good healers or damage dealers, so unless they do a pass on balance (which seems unlikely to me) it'd be unwise to roll a group of'em.

There is no bloodlust in vanilla. And 5 shaman is a known vanilla composition that is OP for pvp.

Whelp.. what do I name my warriors? lol

Does a blizzcon virtual ticket hold the only way to get into the demo? And does one ticket on a bnet account give you access for all accounts on that bnet?

As Ebony and Lax said, yes.

Also, there are 20 realms listed for BlizzCon:

However, I find it odd that they overlooked the fact that you could just get around the "limited play time" hurdle by just having multiple WoW licenses on your BNet account. If multiboxing is actually going to be a thing with this demo, I have a feeling it's going to be somewhat difficult seeing that there will not only be a lot of people jammed into a single zone, but loot that drops from mobs isn't shared with the entire party, and so you're going to blow through that limited time you've got trying to get half of a quest completed.

Personally, I expect that I'll just be going in solo, but if they relax the restrictions at some point then maybe I'll fire up a DPS + Healer duo or something. The thing is, if the add-on or macro system is left out of this build, then those with ISBoxer are going to need to manually configure their setup.

I can confirm that Classic is unlocked for all accounts on the bnet with the ticket. I can also confirm that ISBoxer works with the demo without requiring any updates.

A virtual ticket or an actual ticket are the only ways to get the demo, from the info on the Blizzcon site.

Yeeeeeeee so pumped.

I think at this point there isn't enough data to make a call. The big "ifs" in my opinion are:

Will there be IWT?
Will there be a balance pass, or will classes be as they were?

If you're after gold, then I imagine for the first six months of the server's life you'll want to farm humanoids for raw gold plus cloth drops. Tyr's Hand or running a group of 5 through dungeons might be the most lucrative.

As far as group comps go? With no balance changes and IWT, then Warriors will without question be the best class for everything. They scaled better than every other class with gear, and they were the best (read: only) tanks. Without IWT, then Mages will probably be the best. Even with the larger debuff limits, Warlocks and Hunters lagged pretty far behind Mages for damage; we should probably not even talk about Druids.

If they do a balance pass, then everything's up in the air. All of the classes were pretty trivial to play compared to today's standards, so pick the one with the best looking T2 set?
