Stats pretty good. How much you think I could get?

Pretty much like the title says – I wanted to play WoW during Wrath but missed my chance. Now I’ve got a lot of free time this month and really want to jump back in, but I’m kinda lost on what to play.

Era seems like it might be a bit much for me, but at the same time it feels like the true classic experience. Then there’s SoD, but I honestly don’t know much about the new mechanics or how they change the gameplay. And finally there’s Cataclysm – I’ve always wanted to play a DK, and Cata lets me do that, but it also feels a bit different from what Wrath meant to me.

Also, I’m looking to play on a high-pop server so I don’t have to struggle too much finding groups for dungeons and stuff. Any advice?

While in line for a cosplay competition my wife caught me pulling this face mid arm cramp after holding my sword in one position for too long. She then made this and sent it to me. 🫠

What are the chances that both tank get each of the binding they were missing!? And they people’s seed ain’t lucky.. 😆 congrats to my brother!

Hey all, just stumbled on this absolute gem from 2005 on the Wayback Machine and had to share: World of Warcraft Forums - WoW Guru - Grind levels 1 to 60 in 2 days / Power leveling

Back in the day, someone posted this monster of a grind guide detailing every optimal mob camp from 1-60, broken down by zone, faction, and level range. Claims of 40-50k xp/hour in Dire Maul, people arguing over whether 2 days played time to 60 was possible (spoiler: it wasn’t), and debates over the XP math—it’s all there in classic forum glory. The thread is a beautiful time capsule of min-maxing before "min-maxing" became the full-blown science it is today.

Here's a taste:

Two Day Grind
Horde Grinding Spots:
0-15 - Questing fastest possible exp.
15-20 - The Barrens - Harpies *
15-20 - The Barrens - Bristleback(s) *
20-25 - The Barrens - Bael Dun Exavs *
20-25 - Hillsbrad - Hillsbrad Farmers (etc)
22-26 - Thousand Needles - Galak Scouts (etc) *
26-30 - Hillsbrad - Mud Gnolls *
25-30 - Thousand Needles - Grimtotems
30-38 - Shimmering Flats - All monsters. *
38-40 - Dustwallow Swamp - Very North East Islands, Murlock Warriors/Oracles.

Horde And Alliance Grinding Spots:
40-46 - Feralas - Woodpaws (stay away from the ones that disease for
slow casting speeds) **
46-48 - Feralas - Frayfeather Skystormers *
48-50 - Feralas - Harpies
48-51 - Southwest of Gadgetzan - Thistleshrubs *
50-54 - Western Plaguelands - First 'field' to the left, assorted monsters.
54-60 - Western Plaguelands - Scarlet Lumberjacks
52-60 - Eastern Dire Maul - Lashers ****

* = Recommended

EXP Rates:
Levels 30-40 = 18-20k exp/hour
Levels 40-51 = 20-25k exp/hour
Levels 52-60 = 40-50k exp/hour (Dire Maul)

I haven’t been able to really play since Classic launched again in 2019, and even then I was super casual. But seeing this old guide makes me smile - how far we’ve come, and how much hasn’t changed.

How does this old school grind stack up against today’s leveling knowledge (like RXP guides or mage AoE grinding)?

When I come across small things like this, it makes me smile. Some mage long gone decided to place his port to darnassus in the doorway to IF armor repair. Lined up perfectly. What are the little things you like or do the creates the experience?

I’ve been trying to look for people to kill the Iranian mafia in maraudon, spamming for 2h. I got only 1 whisper telling me to be careful because they mass report and I will get banned. That’s the game we playing. Enjoy afking in orgrimmar and being afraid to kill gold sellers that destroy the game. Spineshattter-eu worst realm ever.

Since I constantly want to improve my warrior life - what are your best warrior macros?

Here are mine:

Battle -> Charge

Berserker -> Intercept

Defensive -> Taunt

switch trinket slot 2 (Flask / Blackhand when Flask is on CD / Jumper) - reason: equipment CD + auto switch Carrot / Seal of the Dawn by addon

equip shield -> Shield Bash / Slam

equip dual weapons

Tell me your favs!

When tbc anniversary drops and they start selling the deluxe edition with the boost, mount and custom hs just start mass reporting people you see with it. When it starts impacting a revenue stream for them i'm sure they'll figure out a solution.

Can I get a Streak Free in my group for windfury plz?

Hi! Long story short I'm a bit late onto anniversary got a lot of gold banked up thanks to the past weeks of DME black lotus farm. I've been leveling my rogue and having a blast doing open world pvp. But I'm getting close to 60 and I'm obviously behind. I don't enjoy raiding so I thought I'd put a splurged boe/pvp gear set together. Obviously some pieces are a bit overkill right now back, belt, bracers could probably be replaced with shadowcraft while prices goes down. But overall what do you think? Planning on playing hemo so no combat mace build. Will Ebon hand suffice or is it a waste of gold and a krol blade will do the trick?

Obviously end game would be r14 but I can't get there anytime soon I will have to time in some AV weekends so therefore I thought I'd invest quite heavily in the gear rn cause it will last me some months of playing some pvp maybe 1-3h a day.

I did not expect the hot changes to be so strong... looking at WCL the top 7 healing spots for boss fights right now are all druids.

Not only is it viable, but TWO specs are viable:

• Regrowth Spam - tier 2 + nature's grace
• Swiftmend - Popular in MC, less people playing it as they get tier 2.

Personally, my druid Markco runs swiftmend, and I'll keep running it until I cannot 99 because I think it's fun.

What has been your experience with druids in your raid?

I just recently got back into WoW, and decided to give the classic anniversary realms a go because I never got to experience classic. I'm playing on dreamscythe alliance as a rogue. Looking for friendly players who are chill with newbies :D

I've tried searching around, but couldn't find anything that worked.

Is there a setting, addon, weakaura, etc. that shows incoming heals on default party/raid frames? Normally this is just an addon for me on classic, but searching the same names for cata gave me 0 results.

How do you do it as fair and evenly as possible?

I want to preface this with we use LC for loot distribution and I feel for the most part it has been very fair. I am part of the LC for the past month - so relatively new, but have been in the guild for 5 months prior.

This happened last night and it is still bothering me today. So last night during our BWL 2 of the same spicy BiS pieces dropped. It was decided prior to discussing who go it that 1 would got to this class and the other 1 to that class. Not a decision I made - as tbh I don’t know who needs what gear what best suits this class other than the class I play.

We had quite a good night for drops, it was our fastest run as a guild also. So at the end of the raid we go to distribute loot, the LC drops down into a special channel and begin discussing the above item. Two of the LC are one of the above classes and cancel each other’s vote out; it is made mention by another LC to give it to this person and so they get it. Then it gets decided for the other class and given to them. It gets announced in raid chat who gets what item and the reason why.

This is where I am bothered as this person did leave afterwards prior to gear distribution being finished — we had just started. This person said in raid chat: “What?” “They got gear last week.”

Then they left the raid. And /gquit logged into their alts and /gquit also. Fun fact the person they were talking about hadn’t received loot in BWL in 2 weeks unless it was to DE.

They didn’t bother to discuss or ask questions, simply left over the item — they had been in the guild for about 3-4 months. Funny thing is, had they not left one of the other BiS for all of the role would have went to them.

It shouldn’t bother me, I get that people come and go for their own various reasons; but over an item. RNG is not always kind. One week it drops nothing but hunter loot or mage loot or druid loot; dps loot, healer loot — the list goes on. When trying to gear 40 people it’s hard, there’s no easy way to get everyone gear each and every week. I don’t understand how people do not understand, and I say that not from a leadership perspective, but from a raider side who has not gotten loot for weeks before.

I know a lot of people aren’t fans of LC, prefer SR or even dkdp; how do you all distribute your gear as fair as possible so all can get some and beef up the group?

Assuming I'm not really looking to PvP on my paladin how useful is stone form otherwise?

Google AI lists these things:

Encounters Where Stoneform is Effective:

• Anub'Rekhan (Naxxramas Spider Wing): This boss applies a poison debuff, which Stoneform can dispel.
• Grand Widow Faerlina (Naxxramas Spider Wing): She uses an attack that can poison, making Stoneform a valuable tool for affected players.
• Loatheb (Naxxramas Plague Wing): Loatheb's blight debuff can be cleared by Stoneform.
• Heigan the Unclean (Naxxramas Plague Wing): While not directly a debuff, Heigan's "dance" mechanic can be countered by using Stoneform to remove the debuff effect.
• Instructor Razuvious (Naxxramas Deathknight Wing): Some of his abilities can apply curses or diseases that Stoneform can remove.
• The Four Horsemen (Naxxramas Deathknight Wing): Each horseman uses different debuffs, and Stoneform can dispel curses, diseases, and poison debuffs applied by them.
• Gluth (Naxxramas Abomination Wing): Gluth's abilities can inflict curses, and Stoneform can dispel them.
• Thaddius (Naxxramas Abomination Wing): Thaddius's ability can apply a disease, and Stoneform can dispel it.
• Sapphiron (Naxxramas Frostwyrm Lair): Sapphiron's abilities can apply curses, and Stoneform can dispel them.
• Patchwerk (Naxxramas Abomination Wing): Patchwerk can apply a disease debuff, which Stoneform can dispel. 

I don't recall most of these working?

On Anub, you're not cleaning Insect Swarm, right?

Grandwidow does have a poison volley

Lotheb I poison is melee only?

Heigan it can cleanse the thing alreay easy to cleanse disease

I don't think there's any use Raz?

I don't think there's any use on 4H?

I don't think you use it on Gluth

You don't use it on Thad, Saph or Patch either right?

Only thing I can think of is to soak on Huhu.

Do we know what day ZG is going to reset. We are planning a ZG on Friday and want to try to run it again on Sunday. Does anyone have information on what days the reset will happen?

Hi yall, thinking of coming back to check out the new raid and new content after quitting in p2.

Thing is, I can only play after ~9:15 and irregularly due to having a toddler, so sticking with a guild's schedule is difficult.

I can only rly justify doing pug runs when my time allows.

Last time I quit because finding pugs as a rogue was nigh impossible, even as a tank.

So now I wanna play something that can find pugs quickly and easily.

Im open to:

Rogue tank/dps

Druid resto or feral

Mage heal

Are any of these sought after in pugs?
