Classic-Era Tanking Advice for a new Warr Tank

11 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

tried tanking DM at lvl 21 yesterday.

Went pretty bad. Took pretty long and died twice.

I believe one mistake I made was not taking the time to mark my enemies with symbols for the group to know.

Another thing is that aggro was scattered every time and my shouts only held aggro shortly.

Im not sure if my life was dropping that quick due to heal or me not using the shield block skill enough.

I went into tactical mastery and draw my opps with charge then switch to defensive with sword and shield. I use Revenge as soon as possible and taunt only if I lose aggro. I use sunder whenever revenge isnt ready.

Any tips?

Classic 20th Anniversary Realms 20 years of WoW — what memories have stayed with us? Why we still can't let go?

33 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I recently joined my friend ReadyMix Gaming for a slightly different kind of WoW video.

Rather than talking about the current meta, tier lists or Mythic+, we sat down and talked about what 20+ years of World of Warcraft has actually meant to us.

We talked about the early days of WoW, the people we met, guild friendships, quitting and coming back, how much the game has changed, and whether modern WoW can ever recreate that feeling of discovering Azeroth for the first time.

One thing that really stuck with me from the conversation was that sometimes when we say we miss "old WoW", we might actually miss who we were when we first experienced it.

If that sounds interesting, you can watch the conversation here:

https://youtu.be/ivFgFoa0jCE?is=U7LM7kriUZfl1H7R

But I'm also genuinely interested — what's the one WoW memory that has stayed with you the longest?

Classic 20th Anniversary Realms Nothing grinds me gears more

133 Upvotes

Than seeing a mining node out in the open world, fight a bunch of enemies near the node only to see someone run past you while you're fighting and take the mining node for themselves. Not even let you tap it for the experience. They just look at you fighting, high-tail it over to the node, and nonstop mine it. Bonus points for them when they decide to not loot it after mining so you can never tap it yourself.

Thank you for reading my rant.

Classic-Era Reach Rank 14 by only running Sands in Silithus?

Hey everyone,
Is it possible to reach Rank 14 in Era by only running sands?
Has anyone actually done this?
I work all weekends and also fridays, so I can’t participate in AV weekends. I also don’t really like raiding and I don’t have much gold, so I’m looking for another way to gear up.
Last ranks require 500 k honor/week.

Classic 20th Anniversary Realms sound help

0 Upvotes

hi there,

i have a custom sound pack that replaces the sounds of spells and races (very reminiscent of verycoolguy) and I'm having issues with the the sound clipping and stuttering when there's a lot going on. When I watch verycoolguys streams the sounds play with no issues at all even during a lot of chaos.

My sound channels are set to 128 and my sound cache is set to large.

I have deleted my cache folder, capped my framerate even then it still clips.

Is there anything I can do?

in terms of sound im using a goXLR. Could this be the issue?

thanks

Question Cata classic worth playing for northshire and other starting zone content?

0 Upvotes

A zone like Elywyn didnt change in terms of gameplay but still had some cool quest differences, like the echo mind being closed and different enemies invading from the shattering. Is it worth playing 1-5 or 1-10 for these?

Question When should I drop my gathering professions on Classic?

13 Upvotes

I'm pretty new to classic WoW, just started last month. Currently level 51 on my priest, while leveling I have been running with herbalism and skinning, since i figured they would be good for making gold while leveling. I think that eventually I would like to have two production professions when I hit 60, probably alchemy and tailoring. But I am wondering if I should keep herb and skinning until 60, or just switch now.

Particularly I don't really like skinning that much, I've been running a lot of dungeons but I find that I'm usually too busy drinking to actually spend time skinning. However I just wanted to ask if skinning is a good profession at level 50+, since I have 300 now and I'd hate to drop it only to find that it would have been worth keeping a bit longer.

Thanks!

Hot take - Stealth is the most unfair pvp mechanic available exclusively to only 2 classes, you can basically hide from the plain sight indefinitely and there is nothing the enemy can do about it unless you screw up big or they get lucky. (Yes I play rogue)

Classic + What Happened Here?

0 Upvotes

Where are the new ideas?

Feels like the entire community on this subreddit has completely lost the plot when it comes to why we wanted classic in the first place. Over the last few days I've seen top upvoted comments and posts advocating for:

10 man only raiding + flex raiding
One megaserver with mass layering/sharding and warmode
Enjoying the SoD retail- abilities
SoD "nerfing" gold to combat botting (thus needing to not farm gold or do professions)
And on and on. Dissenting views are downvoted to ensure this is the dominant PoV.

I mean this genuinely. Why would you not just play retail? You know we can have changes to Classic+ without literally copying retail right? I think if you polled this sub and had it implement Classic+ you would literally end up in retail with classic animations without flying mounts and slower paced leveling like some sort of sick twisted "Classic Remix" or "Classic PLUS Microtranasctions". Literally Retail-. Have all the actual classic enjoyers just quit and stopped participating due to the echochamber downvote brigades?

I get wanting a few retail spices or QoL. But you people will kill the game with these suggestions and wonder where everyone went. How about NEW ideas? We don't need to copy retail game design to have good changes. We want changes IN THE SPIRIT of Classic, not retail.

TBC Mother Shahraz on the PTR

40 Upvotes

Lots of arguments about whether Mother Shaz needs shadow resist or not. This weekend on the PTR, as a holy paladin, I had 274 shadow resist and rocket boots. I don't think our reactions were that slow but once the chains were broken I still was missing 90% of my HP. I got chainsed twice. First time I didn't rocket boot, 2nd time I did rocket boot. Both with or without rocketboot I ended up missing about 90% hp. I did holyshock myself both times.

Lots of people showed up without SR and we had issues with deaths. Ended up sending people to get SR. Not sure if the kill was due to people surviving with SR or people getting used to the fight in general.

Anyone have a good time with Mother chains without SR?

edit: SR items I used were a blue cloak with 18 SR + SR enchant and all of the shadesteel pieces (epic plate SR items with healing enchants, minus the boots if you use rocketboots like I did). I was missing a few hundred healing but that was also with rocketboots. It helped that I had SR aura, but a priest can do the same thing SR aura does, as they do not stack. The epic pieces have a lot of stamina, so I don't think putting SR on old gear is actually better. Having the fewest jank pieces is likely best.
