in fact, the way to do it is mostly holy until somewhere between 40 and 45 depending on the quality of your wand at the time, and then respec so you’re shadow + wand spec at 45. I hate shadow priest, in every incarnation of wow. it always changes because blizzard doesn’t know what it is, and no matter what they do to it it still sucks. but it’s always pretty popular. probably one of the reasons it’s always popular is because when blizzard gives up with it and tries something else it is inevitably overpowered for awhile. classic wow shadow priest is very strong in pvp and 95% useless in pve.
all I’m getting from this is all the specs I think are boring are the good ones and the ones I enjoy playing are the bad ones
anyway, time to respec to boomkin
More like oomkin (am I remembering 2005 class forum memes correctly)

why are you making fun of my not being able to keep it up
My “main” that I mostly solo with is a Rogue and I have a Mage alt that I only ever play in a set 3-man group with my besties but I also just rolled a Druid alt? Why did I do that??
playing a druid is an act of masochism
I do not recommend it
fuckin’ 'ell, skimming this and getting nostalgic about farming barman’s shanker

Dude I played ret in the day literally everything is an improvement on that
Besides I need an alt with herb/alch for dat cash
I would 100% rather have a ret stashed away because I know how good the class in general gets in BC and Wrath
I almost rolled pally for Classic too
but I saw they were using 1.12 talents and went “well, I’m gonna boomkin like an idiot”
I keep wanting to make a dwarf pally alt for aesthetikk but I just… can’t… handle how terrible the racials are
you’re crazy
stoneskin is legit
Who pvps? Sword & maceskill + rep bonus is pve megabomb
Hey so, for no reason at all: How do the servers work between different regions like say America and Europe? Are ALL of you playing Alliance? Would playing a hunter (like I just happened to do back in 2007 but never actually got to 60) be setting oneself back?
just… random thoughts
the servers are separated as part of the legacy of WoW accounts being regional specific (it’s not like OW or D3 where you can launch to a different region)
Ah. Looked into it a bit more and it seems like the only real problem then is that you need to pay a separate subscription fee per region. One can probably live with that and just do the out of region one but I guess also would have to depend on how bad the ping is. (although a bad one would honestly just even more closely match my 2007 experience)
Everyone having broadband is a huge step up even from domestic in-region servers on release. The game can be very tight with timing but it’s not like, Street Fighter tight. I bet it would be fine. You may want to check official Blizzard forums for other people’s experiences first.
Hunter is the best solo leveling class in the game and very powerful DPS in group, it is the opposite of gimped.
(ROLL PAGLE US EAST)
eh, I rolled on a west coast realm and even then I still get weird “hey this guy isn’t near me but still smacking me” and “hey even though you’re 10 feet outside you can’t travel form yet, keep moving” nonsense

hunter scales inversely. the worse everyone’s gear is, the better hunters are; the smaller the group, the better hunters are. you’re the best solo leveler and arguably the worst late game raider. you’re great in 1v1 pvp and mediocre in large groups. hunters don’t add anything to zoom zoom cleave dungeon groups, but in your normal late game dungeon runs no one will complain about having a hunter, they have universal CC, group buffs, pet utility, and they feign off aggro. so it depends on what you want to do, but generally hunter is very good if you’re not planning on being a hardcore player

Okay, I figured out how to at least test this: While WoW Classic is locked behind $15 regular WoW starter edition is not. Also found a list of cities the various realm data centres are located in for both modern and classic (the closest for me sadly seems to be Chicago) so I should be able to get a very similar experience to see if it’s fun or not. The dark backside to this though is that I guess I am now downloading modern WoW…
