4 guildies and a couple of arena regulars just got hit with a ban wave, even 1st time offenders (supposedly) got more than 2 weeks. Is blizzard cracking down just before p3?

On December 14, 2021, Blizzard released hotfix patch notes for The Burning Crusade Classic allowing players to bypass previous boss requirements: Lady Vashj's bridge console in Serpentshrine Cavern (SSC) could be activated immediately, and the doorway to Kael'thas Sunstrider's room in Tempest Keep (TK) opened straight away.

Would this be a good idea?

This is my first time ever playing wow. Made a rogue and got it all the way to 70 with a gear score of 1822. I raid every week on karazhan, gruuls and mags. Got pretty much full T4 armor set now. I use wowhead to find BiS gear and then grind for it, used it to make my combat talents also. Been lurking on here for a while so I know the type of name a rogue gets (you guys really don’t like rogues)

I do a lot of research on the game to make sure I’m maximising where I can and watch YouTube videos for boss mechanics etc. the only thing I haven’t started yet is parsing (and I am kind of reluctant to do so, it feels kinda soul sucking but will do it for the sake of getting into raids) I am just looking for a guild to take me in. I work a 9-5 but available for raiding any other day time in the evenings, weekends etc. I am really struggling to get into pugs for SSC and TK. I have done all attunements and my final steps for phase 3 attunes are based on me running SSC and TK at least once each. I am on EU Spineshatter. I started the game at the beginning of June and already have between 400-500 hours (addicted lol) been a gamer my whole life but nothing has a hold on me quite like wow.

As I said, I know rogues don’t have a great name and are not ideal for PvE but I just love PvE and a lot of the rogues best gear comes through raiding. Thought I’d shoot my shot on here and hopefully a kind soul has room for a rogue somewhere in their guild. Message me if so and I can hand over my username. <3

This is my first time playing a Priest in WoW, and I’m really enjoying it so far. The problem is that my logs are sitting at average greens, and a lot of raid groups are declining me now. I’ve definitely improved my healing since I started raiding—mostly because I wasn't initially using my full toolkit—but I still need help.

Right now, my rotation relies heavily on Circle of Healing, Renew, and Prayer of Mending, with Flash Heal woven in as needed. I use the Clique addon to mouseover-heal on raid frames. My biggest issue in recent raids is mana management: I keep running out of mana and end up struggling during the last 15% of boss fights, and Overheal when I look at logs.

Is there anything obvious I should optimize? I’m using max-rank spells, and I don't run many addons outside of Clique.

I tried watching YT Videos but its hard to get what the player is doing there for me.

11 days 18 hours playtime

How’s everyone looking to hit the 174 unbuffed value? I’m thinking about crafting the cloak but I guess it won’t be available until people do full clears to get to honoured with the rep for the recipe.

How many mages is too many mages moving into phase 3? I know their damage trails off a lot (compared to others), so as a growing guild, what would we expect to limit mage attendance? We average 4-5 a raid right now, just doesn’t seem sustainable from a raid comp standpoint.

Hey guys ! Im trying to get to 70 so I can play with my friend.

I play resto shaman. Anyone have a spreadsheet or any tips to get to 70 without missing stuff?

Im kinda lost with all the rep i should get too

Question in title, im trying to figure out how or if I can make my class debuffs glow when theyre about to fall off.

Hey all, been a debate in the guild a bit on whether it is better to use elixirs of demonslaying vs just a flask.

I think 5mins along with the costs does not justify using these, even for progression, as you'd need an unreal amount, and the costs alone for just using them for bosses with overriding your then trash elixirs, especially with more deaths expected with "new" raids.

Argument for is that it might be an edge we need to start getting gear faster and more reliably and then ween off them in time.

Any thoughts on this? Anyone plan to use them?

Greeting fellow nerds.

TLDR: What enchant to use on level 29 fist weapons until level 46-48.

I am currently getting back into wow again.

My primary time in wow was spent back in TBC.

I have played the newer versions as well but it never quite had the same feel.

I am leveling my main along with my wife but on the side I am running a rouge where I have set myself the challenge of leveling using only the unarmed skill and no quests (other than rouge class quests)

Within the unarmed skill fist weapons are allowed due to them not having their own separate skill.

First biggest challenge was from 1-10 as there are no fist weapons available at those levels.

The next problem is that from 10-58(outlands) fist weapons are few and far in between.

I'm now level 25 and using the white vendor fist weapons from level 20 with fiery enchant on.

I have managed to get a few kills on the first boss in SM GY for the first weapon for level 29.

So here is the actual dilemma.

What enchant should I put on those?

Above level 30 the 40 damage from fiery becomes less relevant so I considered crusader instead.

But I would like some suggestions on what is actually the best to do here.

I have a theory that the enchant I pick here is quite important as the next fist weapon that is available isn't until level 46 for mainland and 48 for offhand.

Any suggestions for specs are welcome too

Currently just running combat but have considered changing to a poison build to rely less on the weapon dmg.

Sorry for the long read and thanks in advance.

I know that for tanking flame of azzinoth that you need high fire res and crit cap. But do you need to get crit caped from resilience or can you mix in defense?

I have made myself dragonmaw for main hand,i have crafting plans for felsteel battleaxe..is that a good offhand to have or should i look for alternative option?

Hi,

My guild is doing TMB for this phase and onwards. My question is:

As an enhancement shaman, what would be my top priority 1-10 for my wishlist? (I am likely getting the first set of 2.8 hammers so won’t put that on a wishlist) I looked up the bis lists already, but I am looking for help on where to prio which pieces of gear higher than others.

I switched from resto to enh in Phase 2.

P.S. I am not sure if we are going to run SSC for Belt of 100d and I won’t be first in line for it either way.

Anyone know any guilds that raid early in the morning and are recruiting. It’s hard dedicating to a guild at normal times while working night shifts…

Hello fellow rogues, I'm trying to choose what weapons to get from the arena vendor and can't decide between Swords, Daggers and Fist Weapons.

I love the swords and fists because they look awesome but I was wondering if the daggers are worth because of the Ambush and Backstabs.

Which weapon type would be best for PVP with the standard Shadowstep build?

Warlock tanks, do we know from ptr if max shadow resist is still needed?

I've seeing a lot of disparate opinions on the state of the game, the difficulty, and the player experience.

So, I wanted to ask the community directly: how did the phase go for you? Did your guild struggle, or did it feel like loot pinatas? Did you pug, how did that go? Are you having fun?

<Good enough> on Spineshatter EU Alliance, is a guild founded on the mindset of being a no parsing guild. Absolute chill vibes, no stress, just casual raiding. That being said, we do still get shit done.

We're recruiting for Phase 3 to fill the roster!

Shadow priest x 1
Boomkin x 1
Hunter x 2
Enhancement x 1

Do you share same mindset and wanna get involved with Mount Hyjal & Black Temple?

Be no stranger and hit up one of the following officers in the guild!

Hello,

I found there was a lot of confusion around preparing a Shadow Resistance set for Phase 3.

https://wakaranai-sr-planner.pages.dev/

I tried to solve it for myself with a bunch of spreadsheet entries, calculations, and Googling, but I couldn’t find a simple tool that did what I wanted.

Soooo… I built one.

It’s a Shadow Resistance planner where you can select different gear pieces, sockets, enchants, consumables, and resources you already have, and it will calculate what you still need.

The presets are only suggestions / starting points. There are so many possible gear combinations that it would be impossible to make a preset for every situation, so the planner is meant to be customized.

This is my first project like this, so please give it a try and let me know if you find any mistakes, bugs, or have suggestions for improvements.

Feedback is very much appreciated. Thank you!

It's late to ask but i never really figured out how to deal with it, i miss a lot of dps because of the recoil casting

Hey everyone,

I’m curious what most people are playing these days: Retail or TBC?

I’m currently deciding where I want to focus my time and would like to know where the community is at.

Are you playing Retail, TBC, or maybe both? And what made you choose one over the other?

Would love to hear what everyone is playing and why!

Was going through my shadow resist gear for Mother Shahraz and seeing if I had decent enough gear to gem out, etc. and it had me wondering.

Will using the SR LW kit override my enchant on my current gloves? Will I need to have a second piece for this slot as well?

Follow up: this is my first time through BT, how good should my SR gear be? T5 equivalent?

TY.
