World of Warcraft Classic Discussion Megathread

[Apatheist]

So like i said its all about aoe damage on trash.

I don't find arcane explosion to be particularly efficient for trash farming. Rain of Fire / Blizzard (when spec'd appropriately) do more DPS and cost less mana. The only negative difference having a priest instead of a paladin as your healer will make will be the lack of retribution aura, since your tank will be using devotion. An imp in your party will give your tank fire shield which partially makes up for this and the significant boost in party HP and utility more than makes up the rest in my view. Threat is a non-issue. Consecration alone will hold agro from Blizzard spam.

What changes are you talking about in particular?

They went out of their way to keep everything as it was as far as I understand so far. Remember they have to strip the current client to be as close to 1.12 as possible. So some things might not be technically possible.

Yea, we won't get all the fancy ADDON possibilities we used to have, but to be fair that was never really in the spirit of the game... decursive anyone?

Either the lack of what was available at the time or the addition of what is currently available API-wise significantly changes the way the game plays. The inclusion of modern rules like disallowing follow in BG's (and world PvP?) make the game not worth paying for as far as I'm concerned which is precisely why I unsubscribed in MoP.

Then again, I may be wrong and Blizzard may keep it genuine in which case I'd be happy to resubscribe. It's not about the money, $75 / month is nothing. As I said, it just seems silly to pay for a service that offers me less than I can get for free. Guess I'll just have to wait and read some reviews here on the forum but judging by Blizzard's recent history I'm not going to hold my breath.
