Wow Classic TBC

Is it possible to do the 10-25 man raids due to the movement mechanics?
I was curious if you stacked BM Hunters / Destro locks if you'd get enough physical vs magic damage.

I understand that TBC has a lot more "utility" gained from having a variety of specs.
I'm trying to make a quick and dirty spreadsheet to calculate dps to see if it's viable.

karazahn with the exception of netherspite is fairly easy movement wise, everything that comes after will have atleast some bosses that may be "impossible" until you can outgear them with endgame badge of justice gear (speaking of gruul, jan'alai,akil'zon for example)

the good thing is somewhere around the sunwell patch karazahn and ZA will drop badges aswell so gearing will be alot faster for >5 boxers

the bad thing is attunements will prevent you from farming trash/easy bosses in higher tier content until sunwell release

in other words, i wouldnt bother with 25 man pve boxing until sunwell is out unless you want to tryhard high king+ gruul with no gear advantage

When did Disc priests get their Atonement "smart heal"? (where you could just smite and do nice healing and mediocre dps at the same time) I remember doing it MoP and maybe Cata, but I don't remember how far back it went.

Cata pre-patch. It healed only 1 person though. There were bugs at release that caused it to heal everyone within a short range though, blizzard fixed that pretty quick.

The version of Atonement I was thinking about always healed the person with the lowest health within range - which is exactly what you'd want in a single target heal. I don't think I was often top dps in a LFD run, but close and often I was 2nd or 3rd. It was fun to out dps the actual dps. I was hoping it was in the game back in WOLK or maybe even TBC and I just never noticed. Oh well...

I would like to have as much information about PSSSS on Horde Side.

Paladin which profession is most useful?

Shaman which race?
how many leatherworkers useful for drums?
is tailoring or leatherworking good for starting gear?
all 4 shaman are elemental or is 1 heal?

All 4 shamans are elemental, always. You mainly use pvp gear always. Drums?? why drums ?Paladin is only be so you got no brainer there. Leatherworking could be useful I guess. Orc for stun resist mainly.

oh sorry I forgot to mention I want to run heroics, if this wasnt clear.

why pvp gear?

I asked about Paladin professions, not race

Between BC and WoTLK I had at least 1 Alliance Shaman (maybe all Draenei) at cap on all 10 of my accounts and had multiple Shaman twinks in the various brackets... When I took all 10 Shaman for PVP I think I had at least 1 Resto but I may have had 2 (the rest were Elemental). If I recall correctly I had at least 5 Paladins at cap (mix of both Dwarves & Human and then later at least 1 Draenei) so I could do all Paladin 5mans but found I preferred 1Paladin+4 Shaman for 5mans.

From memory for 5man dungeons I speced one Shaman Deep Resto with some Elemental and the rest were deep Elemental with some Resto.

From memory I think my main Paladins for PVP (that I also ran PVE with) had Engineering and Blacksmithing for Professions at least for Vanilla. I know it was Blacksmithing for the 'Glimmering Mithril Insignia' for at least Vanilla and I kept it until it was eventually nerfed (not sure if that was BC or WotLK or later). Once it got nerfed I think on at least 1 Paladin I dropped Blacksmithing and went with the profession that helped get more out of flasks/potions (memory kinda vague there as I stopped focusing on cap at some point).

Hard for me to remember for sure because even after the nerf it still worked on characters level 60 and below which means it was still fine for most of my twinks (which was what I focused the most on).

What do you all think would be best for running dungeons and heroics: SSSSS, WSSSS, DSSSS? I'm horde and I'd like to hit the ground running in TBC and don't think I'd level up a pally right off the bat. Would the warrior or druid tank will be necessary / worth it?

I think running with Tank+4S will be better than 5S in BC and especially into WoTLK.

If you you are well geared and have Engineering and what not maxed Warrior will be better than Druid Bear because Warriors have better defensive cool-downs, can push better DPS, swap weapons/shields, and use consumables etc (Bears don't have thumbs)... If your tank will have average or lower gear Bear is likely the better choice. In the end both can work though neither is as good as Paladin in BC+.
