world buff meta was truly toxic

small bronze
#

The irony is parsing in classic involves no skill

#

A mythic 0 in retail involves more individual skill than you need for an orange parse in classic

rain ice
#

and yet people in classic still can't do those basic mechanics

#

getting 40 people that aren't asleep or braindead is incredibly difficult, as it turns out

small bronze
#

It really is

vital heart
#

How were druids in TBC (if they go that route). Got mad bored around lvl 54.

tacit sedge
#

Viable in all specs except moonkin

#

Lifebloom spamming groups was the play for sunwell back in BC

vital heart
#

Finally some quality gameplay.

cold moth
#

Druids are OP in PvP

#

moonkin is actually not only viable it's going to be highly desired for T4 content at least

#

there are so many fun specs

rain ice
#

moonkin is just as viable as feral, DPS-wise

#

and faerie fire is still a required debuff

cold moth
#

you have regular pvp resto, dreamstate offensive healer pvp resto, bearcat pve, feral pvp (kinda memey but not terrible)

rain ice
#

the improved faerie fire that moonkins get*

cold moth
#

yeah I do believe cats will outdps moonkins but doesnt mean you dont bring the latter

#

but yeah on the point of M0 vs classic raiding, it was a pretty huge jump for me to go from classic to retail

#

I played from jan 2005 to early wrath (i wasted money on the xpac since I played it for only a few weeks, decided to focus on drinking and meeting girls in college)

#

i come back for classic, then I get bored around p5 and start retail, and realize im TERRIBLE at PvE

#

Once I got okay gear I was still dunking on people in PvP and I plan on pushing rank S1 shadowlands, but holy shit PvE is totally different

#

it's actually kind of interesting, the avg player who pvps got better but not much better, still so many shitters

#

but i feel below average whenever I try to do even like M+5

rain ice
#

there's a lot more of a mechanical floor, at least, when it comes to retail

#

and it takes a few tries to learn dungeon/raid mechanics since they're significantly more complicated than the "don't stand in bad" in classic

cold moth
#

Yeah there’s still a lot of bad not to stand in

#

But now the bad is everywhere and follows you around

#

But yeah all the positioning stuff is much more complex

small bronze
#

Pve in retail actually challenging so it's fun to do mythics

#

Does Fungal Bloom apply to HoTs in the Loatheb encounter? Also, will casting NS apply Corrupted Mind prior to using the follow-up healing spell? 👀

#

Hey guys, new to being a Druid. Took a break from WoW for awhile, now im back and starting with a Druid. Any tips?

craggy river
#

What are you planning to raid with?

#

tank dps or heals

frail bobcat
#

Either tank, or heals

minor holly
#

If you are leveling do balance until 15 then switch to feral

craggy river
#

^

#

Levelling traditionally as feral is really cruisey

#

Finding a reliable spot in a guild as a Druid is kinda hard as most semi hardcore guilds want 2 druids max

#

resto droods

cold moth
#

not even most of em tbh

#

majority just wants one

craggy river
#

yea it’s two if they’re desperate

#

Sucks how resto stacking screws them selves over

cold moth
#

i mean, mostly they just take two if they dont have anyone that wants to have an alt druid but they do split runs

#

anyways, why am i here? i quit classic months ago lul

craggy river
#

Ahaha same

#

Still like to give advice though is comfy

frail bobcat
#

Lol let me ask. Why did you quit classic? Been contemplating quitting and sticking with retail but with TBC coming this spring not sure what to do

lunar viper
#

I cant speak for him. But min max culture ruined classic for me. And I can blame myself a lot for that for joining hardcore guild out the gates. Hindsight I wish I opted for a more casual relaxed classic outing and id probably had enjoyed it more. Its just not the same as it used to be simply put. Feels like retail wow in classic shell. Feels fake almost.

#

Maybe I'll try tbc out. But tbc raids were actual cringe as far as having to min max compositions and other stuff. So idk.

#

Tbc pvp is the main thing id be looking forward too.

cold moth
#

I mean classic was great for the nostalgia trip but there's nothing to do endgame

#

I have 6 toons at 60 waiting for TBC

#

and yea ill step into kara a few times and do a gruul pug but 90% of my time in TBC will be arena

#

if you are a 100% PvE player and enjoy challenging PvE just play retail

tawdry moss
#

That's pretty much it. Classic is a far superior RPG, but its raiding content is so far behind retail that it's just... yeah

cold moth
#

#nochanges amirite

frail bobcat
#

That makes sense

craggy river
#

Lol let me ask. Why did you quit classic? Been contemplating quitting and sticking with retail but with TBC coming this spring not sure what to do
@frail bobcat I like min max as hard as possible

#

I play feral dps and farming 10+ mcps for both AQ and BWL

#

then dying on Satura because our rogues and pallies won’t do the stun rotation I set up for them

#

You can only lose rend on a boss you’ve discussed with your guild so many times before you crack

#

So more so just lack of people to sweat with (sucks farming out mana pots, runes, MCP, and the 2nd tank wipes Twins cause he said flasks on our pve server are too expensive🤔

cold moth
#

I quit for the opposite reason @craggy river did, I'm the opposite of a min maxxer

#

back in the day when I played a shaman (MC, ZG, BWL, skeram only in AQ40 lol) I brought some mana pots that was it

#

there was no world buffs for us

#

I'd mess around in PvP and maybe drop some gold to respec when we were progressing in BWL

#

but otherwise I'd come to raid in a jank hybrid 0/30/21 spec and enhance dps on trash

#

in classic I tried to recapture that but ran into the min max and speedrun meta

#

I just refuse to farm (or buy gold) for consumes every week

#

so unlike most people, my progression in classic was actually less than vanilla (never stepped into AQ40 in classic)

#

and I had a LOT more fun raiding in vanilla than in classic

#

In TBC I didn't even raid past T4, but I hit like 1850-1900 in arena and that was more than enough for me as far as an endgame is concerned

mellow dock
#

There’s a ton of boomer guilds that don’t require consumes and buffs; or care what spec you play. They just don’t do well in Naxx but most of the other content including aq is on farm. Min/max culture is existent in retail too let’s not kid ourselves when for the millionth time someone asks which is the best legendary or covenant

cold moth
#

chasing down wbuffs, spending tons of gold of consumes

#

raiding is a far inferior experience in classic in basically every way

mellow dock
#

To each his own, personally been enjoying classic and I’ve played retail forever. Neither classic or retail are perfect but we gotta pick our poison. I’ve done cutting edge progression 5 times now and that’s way more sweaty and consuming then speed running classic.

cold moth
#

Don't get me wrong - I started when the game was new and quit pretty early (month 1 of wrath) so I came back for classic only, and stuck around for retail when I got bored of it

#

I really got my fill of classic, aside from AQ40 and Naxx I did basically everything (all quests, 6 60s, one ranked to 11, many profs, etc)

mellow dock
#

That’s sick! I swear classic is entirely what you make of it. A milestone among my years in Azeroth. It’ll be missed but good times were had

#

I’m doing 1 night clear of Naxx 2~ hours; but if I was in a casual guild Naxx would most likely be one of the roughest raid tiers.

cold moth
#

yeah I would never criticize or put people down for enjoying P6 classic and doing an actually challenging raid, thats great

limber hollow
#

There's certainly nothing wrong with enjoying Classic, but i think there's a right way and a wrong way to do so. That's my hot take

mellow dock
#

I respect all sides and takes. I play in a sweaty guild and did raid with a casual one separately until Naxx. Benefits on both sides. My original dream was to play enhance shaman but my first guild was short on resto and so the vanilla tale goes of playing whichever role to keep the raid going forward

cold moth
wintry patio
#

a lot of people quit over he fact that their friends or guilds have quit

rare grail
#

if I found retail to cause me nightmares, should I try Classic instead?

#

I know that queueing just won't be a thing

tawdry moss
#

I wouldn't bother if your goal is to raid. It's the same deal as retail, but with less interesting raids.
It's great if you're looking for a meaningful leveling experience and some decent RPG elements in an mmo

crude tartan
#

Idk about other servers -- Mine (Incendius) is raid logging and gold buying. If you're interested in clearing content cause you haven't ever played classic, maybe. But be prepared to level by yourself, struggle to prebis or find pug raids willing to let you in without good gear. At this point, nobody wants to teach anyone or help them if they aren't already self-sufficient

craggy river
noble forge
#

Some things are better in classic others the same and others worse

rare grail
#

by now it's obvious what I want: facerolls

#

I don't mind if the raids are less interesting if it's the cost of facerolling

#

and even 5-mans

royal cairn
#

u wont reach lvl 60 if u want faceroll unless u pay for a Carry

rare grail
#

speaking of which how expensive are carries in Classic for powerleveling (including, but not limited to, mage boosting)?

#

facerolling is twofold: first to get to 60 and second, once at 60

#

now that I fully understand the appeal of carries, while the benefit is obvious, I have no frame of reference for the cost of that kind of carry

cold moth
#

Classic is basically over

#

And I say that as a big classic lover who sank a shitton of time into it and still is casually farming gold for TBC

#

Unless you buy gold you ain’t boosting to 60 on your first classic toon

#

You’ll wait for hours to find dungeon runs if you’re not a tank and then even so

minor holly
#

The biggest problem with classic is the lack of tanks and healers

#

Not being able to duel spec hurt older dungeons and leveling

#

If you are leveling an alt i would take advantage of mage boosts now before it gets nerfed in tbc

rancid pivot
#

hey i just started levelling druid in classic in prep for tbc and i was wondering what are some of the lesser known arena comps they can play (pretty much anything besides druid lock)

#

cant find anything on google

cobalt vigil
#

Basically druid + anything will work (they are that good) i’ve done druid lock druid rogue druid war

rancid pivot
#

damn i had heard that much but i still wanted something more specific

#

but if you say so i'll take your word for it

#

i trust a member of this discord much more than random forum posts

tawdry moss
#

I used to run druid rogue & druid war back in tbc. Great fun

royal cairn
#

if u do it on ur first char

rare grail
#

so maybe some p2w game may actually prove better value

#

and allow me more facerollability per dollar spent

tawdry moss
#

Pretty much

royal cairn
#

yeah just drop 1000€ in bdo or something and faceroll idk

rare grail
#

or perhaps play in some BDO guild (if they are a thing) and pray that I can actually befriend someone that did

cold moth
#

Thinking you'll face roll in bdo with only 1000€ PepeLaugh

rare grail
#

it's still better value than $400 for powerleveling in Classic

royal cairn
#

for pvp around 15k€

rare grail
#

I don't want anything to do with PvP however so the outlay won't be as high

rare grail
#

I'm not paying for getting frustrated by content; I am paying for success within the confines of the game, but it took me forever to understand the appeal of carry runs, or of p2w

wintry patio
#

id rather be frustrated by me be unable to do content due to my time spent on the game or skill level then be frustrated by me being unable to do content because i dont wanna give them money

cold moth
#

I’ve never felt compelled to buy gold in WoW

#

Maybe if I was raiding Naxx it would be required

lunar viper
#

On classic its either buy gold or farm like a gold farmer does to provide for his family. Option A usually the most painless hehe

violet bloom
cold moth
#

@rare grail it depends what you want

#

if you want to purely just raid or have competitive dungeons and you don't want to grind a lot of gold or rep or get wbuffs (which you will have to stay logged out for the period you have them) then you play retail

sage remnant
#

This cat has almost full BiS (except mark and legs) and tbh for cats MCP is "just" 10% dps, and he compensated that with 53% crit on shreds and 49% on melees

violet bloom
#

Yeah, I don't know much about cats but was leveling a druid and was trying to see if other specs were viable without going into MCP farming hell and that parse made me optimistic.

sage remnant
#

he got very lucky there but for the most part, you can do very good damage without MCP, and unless you wanna parse as high as possible
especially with AQ hammer or End of Dreams from Naxx

violet bloom
#

yeah, my raid lead would like a feral dps in the raid but said he'd require MCP, I wonder if I could convince him otherwise

sage remnant
#

show him raid logs of cats pumping without MCP maybe ? lots of cats do very good dps , more than rogues and wars depending if your rogues/wars are sweaty

young palm
#

Does that raid lead require all warriors to Mighty Rage potion on every boss? require all casters to flask? require all melee to have 100% uptime on jujus? If not then it's silly to require feral to MCP, Pummeler for cat is pretty sizeable but only about on par with casters flasking in terms of dps gain.

violet bloom
#

Yeah I'm guessing he could be convinced, he's usually open-minded and genuinely wants a cat for utility (and appeasing our rogue officer with crit aura). We've raided with a ret, a boomkin, and a cat in the past. Also the only "official" guild raids now are Naxx runs so I could just do alt runs to get geared before naxx anyway and hopefully will have some logs to justify myself as not a meme even without MCP.

vague frost
#

whats mcp?

old portal
sage remnant
#

basically the On-use effect is so big for ferals that this weapon is more DPS than even Atiesh, but it has only 3 charges and then becomes useless and has a 33% droprate from a gnomeragan boss
so you gotta loaf your bags with dozens of these meaning spending hours in gnomeragan if you want those sweet pink parses

lunar viper
#

Don't think there are many worlds that happens unless the rogue and warrior aren't invested and the feral is.

sage remnant
#

yeah i said it depends on how sweaty the other melees are :p but in most guilds, feral cats can be in the top, just not in hardcore guilds (which dont even take any ferals anyway)

young palm
#

My point was if the guild isn't hardcore and requiring everyone to use full consumes then they shouldn't require a feral to MCP. Feral's dps is about on par with Warlock, hunter, and ele shaman, and whether or not you use MCP Rogues/fire mages/F.Warriors will still out DPS given equal skill. That being said, there are still definitely advantages bringing a feral over a rogue: easier to gear (most feral gear is trash for other classes), Only class with a brez, innervate for some of the longer fights in Naxx, and ability to offtank in a full dps spec.

serene snow
craggy river
#

@young palm wtf

#

Feral dps in not on par with a warlock unless your world buffed with consumes and mcp

#

and especially not close to rogues unless you have something they don’t like rend.

#

much of the feral gear in AQ was bis for rogues or near bis for warriors (kri chest, fankriss shoulder)

#

The only gear a feral doesn’t contest on Naxx is 4HM legs.

#

Also hardcore isn’t requiring everyone to consume/worldbuff. Hardcore is making you get rend as alliance and reroll to a warrior.

young palm
#

Look at the graph I linked, warlock and hunter are barely ahead of feral at the highest level. It's the mediocre ferals that bring the average down. Also, having a couple of leather items that are an option for other classes isn't in the same ballpark as all warriors/rogues needing good gear + 2 raid/pvp weapons.

Please read what I wrote before you ping me, clearly said rogue is always more Dps but feral has some added utility that makes it useful and it's not far behind regardless.

craggy river
#

Yes which is why there is a warrior tier distance between Q1 and Q3

#

But if you look at Feral Q3 and Warlock Q3 they are not close

#

My point was if the guild isn't hardcore and requiring everyone to use full consumes then they shouldn't require a feral to MCP. Feral's dps is about on par with Warlock, hunter, and ele shaman,

#

this is your claim

#

but then you supplement it with the 90-99 parses which are competetive with ele, hunter, lock

#

but all those ferals are using MCP, potentially counterweighted and even have rend buff.

#

Q1 - Q3 for locks is way higher because without MCP, Worldbuffs, full consumes feral does inherently less dps

#

Also not to mention utility, on most fights feral uses innervate to stay competitive unless they have a pally spamming wisdom unless they max out on dark runes and mana pots

#

Comparing MCP to jujus and mighty rage potions is dumb as well

#

jujus do not make up ~10% of your dps

#

caster flasks and wbuffs are the only apt comparison

young palm
#

he's asking if MCP is a big deal, and I'm saying if other people are leaving significant buffs out like mighty rage or flask then it's not a big deal. It's about the guild mentality not whether it's a perfect 1 to 1 comparison. If a guild isn't fully focused on maximizing performance he will do fine without MCP assuming he learns the rotation and gets some major manas.

craggy river
#

MCP is a bigger deal than any individual consumable or flask or world buff it makes up ~10% of your damage if you’re good and even more so if you’re not as rotationally competent.

My main gripe was you stating that competitiveness of feral so they don’t need to consume vs casters and hunters when the only reason feral can compete with them is they scale more from world buffs consumes and mcp.

#

No other class has a consume like MCP and it’s only comparable to world buffs. If your guild makes you get world buffs then you should farm MCP and mana potions.

Druid has been my main from end of TBC -> Current ... and in that time power shifting has changed a few times. I was playing with it on Classic last night and powershifting seems to be on GCD.
I remember in end of TBC and Wrath it was not on GCD ... is this a bug w/ classic or was that introduced in TBC?

rain ice
#

it's always on GCD

#

what changed is that, post-wrath, shifting out of a form puts a cooldown on it

#

whereas in vanilla to wrath, the cancelform doesn't give you any cd on the form which makes powershifting possible

elder grove
#

ok, there use to be a time when a /cast !cat form would seemlessly take you from cat form to cat form w/ out any chance of being stuck in caster ... when did that become a thing?

gray flicker
#

I have some questions about raiding as cat in classic. Does elemental sharpening stones work for druids in forms (cat/bear)? I've read conflicting things about this, so would like to confirm with someone who knows.

#

I'm also curious about the optimal consume/food buff list for druids who's looking to min/max

#

I have a fair idea of what I need but would love some input from cat experts

sage remnant
#

elemetal sharpening stones dont work in form, the only ones that work in form are the consecrated ones
when it comes to consumes, the hard part is the buff cap, you should use a tool like this one to make sure you never go over 32 buffs, if you do, some buffs will be replaced :/
https://querns.github.io/buff-cap/#
World buffs are the most impactful buffs, strength food, mongoose , blasted land 25 agi buff, jujus for strength and AP adn then if you still have some room for more mayeb dragonbreath chilli but chances are you're already past the cap at that point
dont forget to tick the different party buffs, HoTs, shouts, auras etc that you will get during the raid, also drinking/eating takes a buff slot etc.

I mean if you keep dying I guess you answered your own question :)
Try with around 100 unbuffed and see if that helps

If you have logs you can look at damage taken to confirm that its the fire damage that is your problem or not

Hello all. I am at level 40 and thinking to respec. I am thinking to go for Omen of Clarity, Natural Shapeshifter and Furor. I often find myself pop out of form to heal, even mid-fight (especially on 2 mobs). Can +10% damage, Omen procs, Furor offer similar damage to full feral build? I find the 1st build more "fun" and QoL. I play on PVE server, so pvp is not a concern. Thanks!

Just joined and a bit late on seeing this - but Mograine can deal big damage. I wear Fire Resist for the fight and prepop a greater fire resist potion since I start on him, but the other tanks in my run do not (I also tank him the longest). I take a little bit more physical damage, but the fire resist helps with the burst. I also power shift a greater shadow protection pot if I take any marks > 3. Outside of that - healers gotta be on top of things for that one.

Hi all, I've been grinding mobs as feral starting a pull with moonfire, rejuvenation, then swap to bear form and smack it down. I just dinged 18 and trained lvl 1 faerie fire and I'm wondering where that fits in the rotation. When is it worth using? Should my new rotation always be moonfire - faerie fire - rejuv - bear form? And does it overall add more damage than moonfire?

uncut charm
#

change abilities depending on what you have atm, also i think their is or used to be a leveling spec

cerulean escarp
#

Yes faerir fire is worth using, especially later on and especially when you unlock the cat/bear one

craggy river
#

When you’re running at the mobs there’s no point in not using ff

#

all the damage and milliseconds of kills time ads up

sour orchid
#

Its better once you get the one you cast in cat/bear. If you start the fight in caster form, its more helpful, but I wouldn't necessarily shapeshift out of bear/cat for leveling to cast them. You regen mana while in bear/cat so its kind of a balance of which mana spells you use vs how much you regen in bear/cat. With the right balance, you don't need to stop to drink.

hi, crowd pummeler drop in gnomer is farmable with /reset instance or need to wait npc spawn? in vanilla

dense bronze
#

its a boss, so you need to run out again and reset

#

luckily he is very close to the back entrance

#

so a run only takes a few minutes

#

Hope you like shoes, and good luck

cold moth
#

i think that boss is not inside entrance to gnomer instance, he is located like turn right from portal and go down, but idk is it work to /reset instance

#

i mean its not in gnomer, but outside

dense bronze
#

He is inside the instance, there is a portal there which is the back entrance

#

You can reach him through the normal entrance as well, just takes forever to run that way

#

Once you exit the instance again you simply do the normal way of resetting with right clicking your portrait -> reset instances

craggy river
#

Go through workshop door

#

kill him

#

reset instance once outside

#

and do it again x 5

#

In last 3days out of ~6 players I've met, 3 of them were bots. All dwarf hunters surprisingly, using the same script too.

unborn wyvern
#

Is what it is. Blizz doing the mass ban at this point in the game only negatively affects the Naxx raiders as it creates a volatile and unbalanced market/AH, especially on the smaller/medium pop servers. The bots just relevel and its only a matter of time until it gets back to "normal". The 3 bots you are seeing are lucky they missed the recent ban hammer though

young palm
#

Maybe you got lucky with your choice of server @unborn wyvern, but the market/AH is anything but balanced and stable on most servers.

In my opinion, the only way bots never getting banned will benefit an individual player is if they are buying gold. Most easily accessible gold farms get the value of their materials lowered by the massive volume of bot activity. The increased supply side volume from the bots decreases the individual players profits from these farms, but a lot of the items individuals purchase for raid aren't decreased to the same degree. In fact, on the server I played on (US-Blaumeux) the price of Flasks, firewater, jujus, and some potions have all gone up 25-40% in price since P6 started despite the aggregate demand for these items falling off a cliff after the first couple weeks. I believe this is due to the rate of gold buying going up massively during P6, although the decreased supply overall is also definitely a factor.

unborn wyvern
#

Something as simple as major mana pot on my server was 10g a stack of 5 pre bot ban. 35g a stack now IF (big IF, as there has been none) there are any on the servers AH at all. This is only one simple example of a basic consume that without the bots is dry on my server. Yes you can and should farm for yourself but we know the bots will be back, so why make the server suffer during weeks of absolute end game progression when it’s inevitable botting will happen is my thought.

#

You can imagine how volatile the market currently is with any other basic consume as well.

#

A 250% increase in a basic consume is a ridiculous result of banning

#

Now if blizz was somehow able to control bots before they were 60 and allow us to control our own market then this conversation is null and void. But they can’t and they haven’t, they let them run wild on the market and then at the point the market relies on the bots they pull the plug and screw the end game raiding community.

#

So I am leaning to the side of just let them be, because this back and forth is more detrimental to the real players imo

People just gravitate towards the meta stuff nowadays.

is what it is.

Well in classic certain specs just didn't work

Like prot paladin not having taunt or mana regen

stuff like that gets fixed in tbc

lunar viper
#

prot pal works

#

need TF tho

#

anything can work really in classic, just have to build for it

#

staysafe was tanking with his lock at one point lmao

lone vigil
#

Just cause you can if you have a specific weapon doesn't make it super enjoyable

#

You could tank in wrath without defense cap, not that it'd ever be recommended

lunar viper
#

Sure, enjoyable and working are bit different though.

#

Others may enjoy it, and it can def work.

#

Min max culture just wont like it 🙂

lone vigil
#

Like I define working as a functional combat loop, at least for tanks and most dps.

lunar viper
#

well see same stuff in tbc, instead of warr/rogues, it will be locks/hunters

lone vigil
#

Prot when they went oom, stopped functioning as a tank really

lunar viper
#

yeah most def, stuff def improves in tbc

#

still will see strict meta in speed run guilds tho.

#

just like we do now in classic

lone vigil
#

for sure, but I won't feel like half a class trying to do things in tbc

lunar viper
#

Yeah i feel ya. WOTLK honestly is the classic i really want. Wotl balance really gets no better.

#

Everything truly becomes viable.

lone vigil

I didn't play druid in TBC, I was a Draenei shaman, I honestly can't remember if intensity was important for bears

#

definitely moving my 60 totally ungeared druid to TBC realms cause I didn't enjoy vanilla

#

the feral/guardian hybrid seems easier to achieve in TBC

lunar viper
#

Yeah feral DPS in TBC is actually pretty legit. And Feral tank is 2nd best tank i believe. So feral in general becomes super valuable. They're def not op in terms of raw damage like Locks/Hunters, but their also not too far behind.

#

And to be able to off tank when needed is big.

#

Im looking forward to playing a lot of feral dps personally.

strong steeple
#

Feral/guardian is still one spec so you great at almost both
Special in some fight you need fewer tanks just go cat and start dishing out a actually decent dps

#

And les not forget the aura that feral bring to the raid

#

Which is a good one to have

lone vigil
#

I think the only thing I give up is rage with enrage haha

cold moth
#

I keep getting tempted to roll shaman and have guaranteed raid spot sadbear

lone vigil

I'm sure spriest would have a more likely one

cold moth
#

i have 52 one and want to dig my eyes out

strong steeple
#

Druid of all spec
Shaman of all specs
Prot paladins
Shadow priest
Survival hunters
Warlocks
All of the above bring a needed buff or debuff to the table that is raid wide ((if mine memory is correct))

#

So i am pretty sure people will try to make raid comps to get every single buff they can get

#

So no matter what class you pick if you prove a raid buff in form of aura or just be a buff you got to renew and can prove a decent dps (((which most if not all in tbc can)) then you shound get a guaranteed raid spot

cold moth
#

I dont mind it. I'd rather have more people to play with than appease elitist jerks.

#

(Who prob leveled through dung cleave or got boosted anyway)

lunar viper
#

Yeah the biggest mistake I did in classic was go all in on the min max/speed run culture. Not making that mistake again. I wanna play the game in a much more relaxing environment away from elitists.

#

best thing to do is fine a good and chill guild and hang out whit them and ignore the rest of the server
you maybe strungle to finish up some raids but surely will be more fun and there will be more memorable moment

#

also stay away from server that do have streamers or are very high populated as often the it is the type of server elitism is thriving or so i have hear and i can belive that even if i have not seen it for mineself

cold moth

All dps are viable

lone vigil
#

Be aware that the "hybrid" support tax is in full swing in TBC

#

@young latch viable just fine - I tanked everything through classic from mc up throughout naxx. Sadly, elitists have this idea through rose tinted goggles that classic was hard, it wasn't. The minimum amount of dps a decently geared feral did at the time was still above the dps requirement in a 40 man raid.

yeah, if you encounter the elitists, it may be hard to do certain things, but by now that shouldn't be around as much as it was in 2005

@astral nova the most you might encounter would be elitists that will spew some crap like "hurr that spec doesnt work, spec this way or gtfo!!!" nothing in the game during vanilla (classic) hit so hard / had a boss with such a massive health pool that only certain specs were required (assuming specs that were considered "hybrids" or w/e knew what they were doing.)

lone vigil
elder grove

#

and how does it compare to +4 stats to ring

sour orchid

That should work in feral form since it's not "on hit".

queen copper
#

Personally love + to all stats as druid
Literally every stat is so useful
Purely for dps in feral, wouldnt +4 agi and +4 str alone be more beneficial?

craggy river
#

2 damage to attacks is 4 dps maximum

#

4 agi in classic is ~ 14+ dps depending on n stats and 4 str is like 10-12 I forgot what the value of strength it’s like 2 + talents let me check

#

3.04 and 3.3-3.8 depending on stats

uncut charm

@queen copper i forget the exact time during vanilla, but str gave more dps than agi, iirc it was way before items were better homogenized with needed stats

craggy river

Only goes down when you reach crit cap ofc

hmm, i could have sworn their was a time when str gems were better due to the ap conversion, possibly during tbc?

craggy river

@uncut charm
No gems in vanilla so probably tbc

#

Strength is worth strictly 3.04 AP no matter what what because of catform and hotw

#

and Hakkar worldbuff and IMP Blessing of Kings

#

Agility is 1 AP, 0.05 crit and 0.05 dodge. 1 Crit is on an optimal character worth 38 AP because Hakkar and Kings give that bonus to agility as well it increases crit making it worth more

as long as you have the resist gear (huhuran and such) its not bad. The only reason for the warrior mt bs was due to a dev who pushed hard for it from the game he came from.

don't you need a warrior for him?

no

i believe we used two tanks, depending on the day it was me as guardian and a prot paladin or a prot warrior

one for each of the swords (w/e they are called) because if you were too far from the other it would bug (probably been fixed since)

thats good to hear

It sucked that people looked down on bears in classic

in the guilds who didnt care about world buffs bears were probably better due to the threat

eh, that's what happens when a troll from a different game (that staged riots causing server issues) wasn't the preferred mt and ended up being the lead dev at blizzard

honestly one of the only issues were healers had to be ready for up front damage on a bear

#

not too different from how it was healing a monk tank during pandaria

healers need to be awake

@verbal iris You don't need a shield. At the time with the health pools, almost (if not over armor cap) and 80% dodge (sometimes higher) a druid could be healed through shear. Stop with blindly following the thought process of an incompetent dev that couldn't cut it as anything but a warrior tank in the game he came from and on wow.

@sour orchid you don't - if geared right and knowing what to do, shear was healed through with a druid tank. It was done when it was current with no issues.

That shouldnt be true. I made this on my alliance char before on first endless release

#

hello

#

i have a quick question: does bear form innately increase threat generation (without talents)? It doesnt say anything in the tooltip about it but online im getting conflicting info

fervent mural
#

Im trying to decide what I want to play in bc so I can start leveling but I cant decide. I've played druid for so long on retail it feels odd to play another class as a main. I know druids are kinda meh in classic, but I also know they get a lot better in bc. What in bc are they good at?

shy grotto
#

boomkin as a dps support and tanking

#

cat dps good too, but its so hard to play it properly

fervent mural
#

what about healing and tanking?

#

im kinda wanting to push myself in bc and tryout healing

#

maybe boomy/resto

odd quarry
#

How good is feral in Classic?

shy grotto
#

resto top arena healers and good in pve

#

so if u into healing - great choice

uncut charm
#

@odd quarry it wont be near rogues and warriors when they go all out in terms of dps, but it is still above the required amount on bosses.

golden raft
#

are ferals gunna be dogshit in burning crusade?

uncut charm
#

no

proper maple
#

bc is when ferals start to ascend

#

altho thats mostly due to the power of bear

#

but cat becomes good offspec dmg when not actively tanking

craggy river
#

feral already ascended in classic unless you were a speedrunner

#

easy to gear and highest theoretical TPS unless you have a troll TF warrior

#

and extremely strong deeps, just not fury warrior broken

shell palm
#

Hey can we talk about TBC here too?

#

or is it Vanilla exclusive?

#

If so then is there a good DC for TBC Druid stuff?

tawdry moss
#

Considering we get about 1 msg per week I'm sure we'll cope even if we consider TBC to be offtopic :P

shell palm
#

Yeah maybe if there is another server thats more for that topic I would appreciate that too xD

unborn wyvern
#

I feel like I say this weekly. All things classic Druid are in the Druid classic discord, including all thing tbc classic

#

This discord is dead for classic convo. Druid classic discord has hundreds of messages tbc related everyday

Unlinkable in this damn channel for some reason. Literally the only link that needs to be in the pins and it isn’t. Follow the explore channels function in discord on pc

#

And @ doubtable who made the updated sim

unborn wyvern

Imagine that! More people looking for the actual Druid classic disc. <@&114146878353833984> do something about this so the community isn’t always stuck here looking for answers with little to no resources

brazen urchin
#

@unborn wyvern There are instructions on how to access that discord in pins?

unborn wyvern
#

The “instructions” of a screenshot of explore channels which is only viewable on PC disc and not on phone has proven to be insufficient in funnelling people with classic inquiries to the valuable sources of information. Why can the pin not have the discord itself instead of a shotty screenshot unusable from mobile where a ton of discord chatting is done off of

brazen urchin
#

We have a moderation bot that disables any discord links, due to the high population of this server there are a ton of randoms and robots who will spam discord links. We've provided the information needed to find the channel, as well as a lot of helpful members (see above) if that doesn't suffice.

#

Also, in the past it seems like the discord links keep expiring, and since we don't own that discord server, we don't control the link / don't want to keep updating the pin link that has expired.

#

So.... better to just teach you how to fish 🙂

unborn wyvern
#

Agree to disagree on all the above. Again, it’s been proven since classic launch, the resources here for classic are insufficient, and the “instructions” in the pins are constantly insufficient for community members to get their necessary resources. The focus and priority here is for retail and thats clear, I’ll leave it alone and go home to the classic disc. Nothing personal, thanks for the response. You were super helpful when I ventured into shadowlands for 2 weeks.

brazen urchin
#

No worries, hope you are enjoying Classic. If you have a permanent link that you think doesn't expire you can DM it to me, and I'll watch it for a bit, but in the past even the ones on reddit etc always expire.

you almost always spend 5 combo points if you're raiding

#

hey where can i find a resto druid talent guide?

sudden jungle
#

You guys ever heard of a moonkin putting their 15 points into feral combat as a kind of pinch off tank for Kara? All you're getting is reduced rage cost/ 10% armor and 15% increased threat 6% crit. But how effective would it be without the further stuff? My concern is losing the mana regen in resto basically makes me useless in both specs

steel iron
#

I feel like asking a boomy to wreck their spec to offtank is just objectively worse than bringing a feral instead when they can happily do both

sudden jungle
#

Yea more thinking oh a hypothetical where a feral isn't available. But I think I'm leaning to it would just make both specs sub optimal

you can tank most kara bosses with a BM hunter pet

Getting geared up...I am mapping out how to get my pre-raid BIS in preparations for TBC. I wont likely get to raid prior to the launch, so my question is this: (Feral-adjusting to Tank for TBC)
The wowhead list for pre-raid gear goes to many different dingeons, but the Wildheart Raiment Dungeon set comes from Strat, Scholo, and LBRS. Which set would be better to get looking forward to TBC?
In other words which is greater Wildheart or the pre-raid list gear?

tacit sedge
#

They'll both be replaced by level 61-62 greens, it won't matter

swift vortex
#

Hello all .. wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction for a good resource on BIS items. Also, returning player here wondering for raid content if Moonglow is viable or should I just go full resto

unborn wyvern
#

Check the pins for the Druid classic discord. Moonglow is most likely the spec you are going to want due to the mana efficiency. You still reach down into resto for Nature Swiftness when going moonglow so you effectively get most of the important resto talents anyways minus swiftmend.

Very good pvp, good in raid at <=2

in the end unless they adjust content it will be easy enough you can run only resto druids

#

I dont think they fixed how druid hots worked in TBC

in which only 1 person can have 1 rejuve and that single rejuve

#

1 regrowth

which means one resto can go swiftmend and another gets to go regrowth machine gun

The second one is better. Warriors will have a better demo shout, so let them do it and we use rip as a finisher more so you lose nothing there dps wise. Savage fury isn't a huge dps increase for cat, if i recall correctly, so if you wanted pvp utility, you might drop those for utility talents, otherwise the 2nd one looks like the standard feral spec for both tank and dps.

@sour orchid Thanks for your answer mate ! 🙂 I think I'll take the second one. I read somewhere that we shouldn't use rip as a finisher o0 But i'm not sure about it anymore xD

Hello! How are feral druids(dps) doing in TBCC? Currently thinking of using Booster58 lvl on druid. Is it decent or unplayable? Focus on raiding-dung-pvp.
Also I play feral in retail and its pretty decent(pushing 15 keys easily and myth raiding), although feral isnt respectable nowadays.
So, how are feral druids dps doing in TBCC? Will I have lots of issues with joining raid/dungeons as dps role?

My current issue is that when i am mounted i directly shapeshift without even dismounting on my own. I dont want it but the only option i can click is if im flying on a mount. Also able to shapeshift to any form during any other form without shifting back to nightelf first. Also an issue sometimes

Hello 🙂 Casual player looking for a class to boost, was thinking of druid. How friendly is a druid for a casual player? I never played a tank or healer, would not want to be forced to play those roles and I've read that feral dps is quite bad?

vagrant sun
#

Feral DPS is Okay'ish. not compareable to the high tier tbc raid dps speccs but not bad. Is one of the harder classes to min max damage output due to Energy management. Still would recommend playing it since its a lot of fun. and if u find it too hard to perform with you can always switch boomie

I assume i'd be leveling as feral, endgame either go feral or boom dps?

sour orchid
#

LW isn't great for feral right now - drums have a short cast time with an 8yd range that you can't powershift them and they aren't usable in form. LW has a pair of boots in P2 that are BiS for feral tanks, but they only last that phase. With the recent tinitus changes, its a good argument for ferals to not be a drummer in the group. Once the drums with the ZA patch get released, we can use them in form so could be a drummer then with LW.
