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
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
It really is
How were druids in TBC (if they go that route). Got mad bored around lvl 54.
Viable in all specs except moonkin
Lifebloom spamming groups was the play for sunwell back in BC
Finally some quality gameplay.
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
moonkin is just as viable as feral, DPS-wise
and faerie fire is still a required debuff
you have regular pvp resto, dreamstate offensive healer pvp resto, bearcat pve, feral pvp (kinda memey but not terrible)
the improved faerie fire that moonkins get*
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
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
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
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? 👀
I think I get it. It's referring to the level 30 talent choice
what does this have to do with classic @fading ore
can anyone confirm the consecrated sharpening stones work for dps/tank druid?
Yes they work
600 +healing 65 mp5 ic/171mp5 ooc unbuffed, 3/8 SR, Idol of Longevity, ZHC. Healing patchwerk tonight one other druid. Should I be moonglow? heavy swiftmend? Nature's grace regrowth?
Moonglow for one druid swiftmend for the other
If double druid in raid they do well together. Regrowth falls off due to longer fights in naxx
check offtopic👌
zoomer
Anyone knows if the proc from naxx 2 set bonus take up an extra buff slot ? Can’t seems to find a spell id for the proc?
Or if it simply modify the reju
anyone up for deadmines? need tank and healer. nethergaarde keep. alliance
@jade atlas my buffslot weakaura only counts the rejuv
great then I will turn some pices in @worn wigeon
Buff slot doesn’t count Darkmoon faire CD either but you can actually push it off if you fight a 5 boxing warlock and have buffs and hits rolling
Hey guys, new to being a Druid. Took a break from WoW for awhile, now im back and starting with a Druid. Any tips?
Either tank, or heals
If you are leveling do balance until 15 then switch to feral
^
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
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
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
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.
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
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
#nochanges amirite
That makes sense
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🤔
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
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
the difference between min/maxxing leggos and covenants and the kind of min maxxing you have to do in classic is huge
chasing down wbuffs, spending tons of gold of consumes
raiding is a far inferior experience in classic in basically every way
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.
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)
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.
yeah I would never criticize or put people down for enjoying P6 classic and doing an actually challenging raid, thats great
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
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
i quit because i've already been playing for 4 years and at this point it just gets tiresome to see people do the same minor mistakes that costs people hours of preparation, so my previous guild disbanded because i didn't want to be GM anymore and there was no one else proper up for the job, and without that guild i didn't see a point in playing anymore
a lot of people quit over he fact that their friends or guilds have quit
if I found retail to cause me nightmares, should I try Classic instead?
I know that queueing just won't be a thing
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
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
Depends to why
Some things are better in classic others the same and others worse
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
u wont reach lvl 60 if u want faceroll unless u pay for a Carry
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
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
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
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
Basically druid + anything will work (they are that good) i’ve done druid lock druid rogue druid war
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
I used to run druid rogue & druid war back in tbc. Great fun
would be about 250-300€ for the regular methods
if u do it on ur first char
so maybe some p2w game may actually prove better value
and allow me more facerollability per dollar spent
Pretty much
yeah just drop 1000€ in bdo or something and faceroll idk
or perhaps play in some BDO guild (if they are a thing) and pray that I can actually befriend someone that did
Thinking you'll face roll in bdo with only 1000€ 
it's still better value than $400 for powerleveling in Classic
yeah more like 5k€ if u refuse to play the market/game at all and just want to faceroll
for pvp around 15k€
I don't want anything to do with PvP however so the outlay won't be as high
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
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
I’ve never felt compelled to buy gold in WoW
Maybe if I was raiding Naxx it would be required
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
I'm surprised to see a cat with a 99 parse on Patchwerk without using any MCPs:
https://classic.warcraftlogs.com/reports/kQ4dmW967v3VhZXN#fight=691&type=casts&source=2027
@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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
whats mcp?
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
Id like to see an equally skilled feral beat a warrior or rogue lol
Don't think there are many worlds that happens unless the rogue and warrior aren't invested and the feral is.
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)
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.
@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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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?
Classic
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
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.
ok, ty
what is resto druid good for in Classic? Priests and paladins seem to be better raid healers
Battle rezzing, they're the best at that.
Raid healing on fights with mass AoE damage (Sapphiron)
And helping warriors/rogues parse with our t3 set bonus 
applying faerie fire
hello i just ding 60 on my 5th alt its druid i need heal sapphiron to help guild where can i find FAQ to download easy addon and not move a finger kk thanks
Just hit 60? You need gear for sapphiron
Unless they boost you in all previous raid tiers for gear, you won't be helpful
Hey folks. Anyone know if there is a Sim for Druid DPS for le Classics?
in the Druid Classic discord
I'm not sure how to get there, it says directions are in the pinned message here, but I must be missing something?
I suppose my problem is simply that I do not know what the Server Discovery is.
At the end of your server list there should be two extra buttons one is to join/create a new server and the other is the discovery @broken parcel
Not sure why the discord itself just isn’t pinned
^ I figured it out, but thanks for the link.
People learn if they're taught/teach themself
Hey folks. Anyone know if there is a Sim for Druid DPS for le Classics?
@broken parcel I’ll link
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fjNn8n6I8T79lZ8Ycr0KzI6e2MObldVJmWCH3qdZm9I/edit?usp=sharing
It’s intuitive and classic numbers and rotation is so basic that you can sim via math instead of actual simulations
Let me know if there’s something you don’t know
8 days late but I saw nobody actually linked the disc or sim
@craggy river Thank you. <3
My guild is short on healers tonight for Sapph and KT hence I'm going to bring my druid. Only played her a little in MC/BWL. Need a crash course on the spec/spell to use for Sapph. Please help!
For sapph just use downranked revju, which rank depends on you gear and amount of FrR people have
Thanks!
Hi, so I'm lvling a druid to lvl 60. (lvl 48 now) and when im 60 I want to use him for Mining / Herb. Now I'm thinking of not buying an epic mount yet and just using travel form. Anyone here know what items / trinkets (passive) give movement speed that stack so i can get the fastest movementspeed
Nothing sadly, only thing u can do is gloves herbalism enchant, other kind of ms don't stack with travel form
thnx 😄
Anyone know if 1-60 xp was nerfed in tbc? Debating on leveling to 58 now so I'm ready for tbc, level 38 atm. Or if I should wait till after tbc
i vaguely remember it being slightly nerfed before BC, but not significantly
25% nerfed to get from 11-60
@lapis gulch
I might try to hit 60 before pre-patch and farm GM gear or just level up during pre-patch. We might see people doing dungeons again etc to level new chars for tbc
Lol my server hasn't had a b1 spot in like 2 months
if you get ranked gear you get a movement speed boost
Kinda read about that, you need rank 12 right? That's not going to happen 😛
no you only need rank 8
you get the bonus from the 4 set non marshal gear
rank 10 is more optimal so you get all 6 pieces but 8 will give you the boost
yeah, not sure how long it would take with ranking being pretty much dead
It's worse on the server i am on 😛
its bis for flag carrying in WSG too
Is classic dead?
Not for people that buy gold
Hello I thought I would ask and see if anyone can help me with 4h fight in classic, I seem to keep dyeing in the fight when I switch over to mograne I feel like I need Fire resist gear but unsure what people recommend.
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
Aye, guess I was just asking for validation but curious what other druids set up is for tanking the top of 4H
Depends a lot on the guild 
Fellas, anyone tried the procc on Lion horn of stormwind?
is it affected by bear amor multiplier?
@brazen tide wouldn't bother with it, the proc chance is too low (imo) whereas that slot can be more useful with something else along the lines of smoking heart of the mountain / mark of tyranny
Its not affected by bear form
How is the cookie cutter pvp build for feral in classic?
Do you guys think its worth starting classic now?
@golden bane depends on how you play, i ran the cat dps build with gear switches depending on what i was doing
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!

Pagle lol alliance only 
Curious about that myself.
I mean that is only something you can decide yourself
If your goals is to raid in classic you might be slightly late to enjoy all of it, but there is so much more depending on what you like
And if you are planning to play in TBC it doesn't hurt to get a head start now
has there been an actual announcement that classic will be getting the expansions?
Nothing official.
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.
Shred is pretty good in classic right? Meaning you should try to use it even if no OoC proc?
use shred
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?
change abilities depending on what you have atm, also i think their is or used to be a leveling spec
Yes faerir fire is worth using, especially later on and especially when you unlock the cat/bear one
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
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
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
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
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
Go through workshop door
kill him
reset instance once outside
and do it again x 5
Hey is rake useless in classic? As in leveling
not if you have extra combo points
@astral idol nope
how many times i need to kill hunters pet to have it run away
Assuming the pet is at full loyalty? a very long time
Why would you want to do such a thing you monster
hunters deserve everything bad in the game and irl
In last 3days out of ~6 players I've met, 3 of them were bots. All dwarf hunters surprisingly, using the same script too.
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
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.
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
Retail andy here. How’s druid in TBC?
I know Feral (tank) and Boomkin become pretty good in TBC. I don't know about the other two specs
You will run 3 druids in your 25 man raid comp. One Feral / Tank, one boomkin and one resto druid.
whats a boomkin druid
im playing the druid in classic rn but idk what a boomkin is
not being mean just trying to familiarize myself
idk i'm a retail cat lol
You click starfire, then go out of mana
and do slightly more damage than a Retribution Paladin
Classic players don't even know boomkins exists 😂
wrong I have been a classic player and i know boomkin exists
i just have think they had a rare drop xD
but damn boomkin will be sweet if we move to tbc xD
Yah boomkin is one of the best support classes in TBC. They bring alot of really important utility and they are significantly more mana efficient compared to Classic Boomkin
I finally got around to working on my lvl 20 I left way behind from early Classic launch. Spent 2 hours just being Feral grinding with a moonfire pull here and there and gained a level. Long road to 60 this way.
I raid Naxx as boomkin. And I love it
@cerulean escarp one of my guildies was a grand marshal moonkin during vanilla
oh nice, should have been a nightmare. anyway i also levelled a boomkin and was about to delete it first zg
Start botting yourself on a second account
I implore everyone to do so. This will hurt gold sellers hard and increase ah supply making consumes affordable for casual players.
It kills the worlds "soul" but blizzard clearly doesnt wants the money more
Dont bother with moonfire. Just rip then claw spam. This will cut down on drinking since your mana will be fully regening
any leveling bots? 😉
I wana return to classic for TBC but christ leveling takes its sure time
I dont have any on hand because i havent botted in wow before but i would hold off until we know for sure that level 58 tbc servers arent a thing.
I believe we get that info today or whenever blizzcon is but if it doesnt end up happening I would start looking around. Dont be silly and use your main account to bot.
i know some websites that advetisive for that but i dont trust them not a single bit......
personally if you got gold in classic just buy yourself a couple dungeon runs as there are a billion of tier 3 set mages that can pull the entire dungeon in 2-3 go aoe them damn and get like 1-2 level just like that
interesting, I wasn't aware.
Just another Q, I have a level 15 on one realm and my mates are on another. How long does level 15 take again? I don't mind spending the xfer fee but apparently theres a huge cooldown?
on when u can xfer again
level 20 took me around 15 hours iirc
you can get 15 lvl from 4 hour but can take you 20 hours depenting on how efficient you are whit your routes and how you tag mobs because i have seen people actually been taking advatage in all kiting abilities they got and tricks like jursting ((or whatever it is called)) and pop the level up and cleaning entire zone of questing like it is the zone barely had any quest
Man, it feels so weird seeing Holly work on WoW
I still think of her as an EQ dev
I'm excited for TBC
all specs are at least minimally viable if my memory serves even if some are more support roleish
oooo, I forgot that mangle came in tbc
i mean this is the case in classic vanilla as well. its just min max culture gets rid of that.
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
IN THIS VIDEO YOU CAN WITNESS A CHAD PALADIN ALL CHOOFED UP SQUASH SOME DASTARDLY BUGS
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
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
Sure, enjoyable and working are bit different though.
Others may enjoy it, and it can def work.
Min max culture just wont like it 🙂
Like I define working as a functional combat loop, at least for tanks and most dps.
well see same stuff in tbc, instead of warr/rogues, it will be locks/hunters
Prot when they went oom, stopped functioning as a tank really
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
for sure, but I won't feel like half a class trying to do things in tbc
Yeah i feel ya. WOTLK honestly is the classic i really want. Wotl balance really gets no better.
Everything truly becomes viable.
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
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.
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
I think the only thing I give up is rage with enrage haha
I keep getting tempted to roll shaman and have guaranteed raid spot 
I'm sure spriest would have a more likely one
i have 52 one and want to dig my eyes out
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
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)
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
or at least that what worked for me
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
is feral dps good in BC?
All dps are viable
Be aware that the "hybrid" support tax is in full swing in TBC
some specs will not do nearly as much direct damage, but help out raids in other ways
Like spriest damage isn't the highest, but it does passive healing, massively boosts warlock shadow damage, stuff like that
feral tank is very good
Yeah?
Good to know
My fave is healer but Im guesing they wont be all that great
Im new to classic though, only just starting out
So got a long way to go
Is lotp not required in current clasic then?
tbh i didnt play much classic
but druids arent a viable tank in classic
they are in tbc
Does anyone know if feral was viable in arenas in TBC? Mostly thinking about 2s, like feral/priest or double dps with somebody, is it possible to climb with that or will be sitting at middle bracket endlessly?
Feral rogue is the only really viable 2s comp. And depending how competitive the ladder is that would really dictate how far you can go with it. Honestly if you're not playing lock, rogue, resto druid, disc, mage in arena you're gonna have a naturally harder time
Be ready to see tons of rogue and locks. Rinse repeat
Certainly more viable in my opinion than paladins or enhancement haha
Still not viable in a min max perspective tho 😉
That's what latter meant by "meta"
Tbc was the era of taking of gear to keep generating resources right?
still a meme, but as were all hybrids
it wasn't until lk that hybrids did par dps
you might bring one to put in your warlock group to buff them, if you only had 3 warlocks
Feral is pretty high dps apparently
Most the data was pre power shift dps from what I’ve heard
But that’s just internet bs I’ve read so idk
You stop going oom as balance, but the hybrid tax was real
@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.
its not even a rose tinted phenomenon its just an attitude ppl have in general around games
ppl take everything as a competition and if you arent top you are trash
such a self defeatist attitude
exactly, i showered in their tears when patchwerk would drop them and they would ask for a druid tank

I just wish I enjoyed classic dungeons
Tbc is a bit better in that regard
Watch it turn out the gauntlet is easy and we all just sucked
lol
Is feral going to be good in tbc pvp?
hello guys! i myself am a lover of druids
one could say i might fancy bear stance a little
any one else ?
dont send me to the gulag pls
Follow the stream for more shitposting like this
https://www.twitch.tv/ginggingtv
Anyone and everyone asking tbc advice here should go to the classic Druid discord server where there is conversation all day and everyday about all the questions I see posted here. Just an FYI
can you send a link to that server?
@unborn wyvern ^ 🙂
Discord links get deleted by a bot in this discord. Follow the instructions in the pins on your PC to get to the discord or google it. You won’t regret it if you’re hungry for classic (tbc or vanilla) knowledge
There from time to time is decent classic info here. But hundreds of topics gets discussed everyday in the actual druid classic disc, where the dreamgrove is more suited towards retail
found it and have join it
thanks!
Theyre fine in 2s with rogues thats really about it tho. They lack a lot of stuff that makes good classes in arena good. World pvp they do well in tho as with bgs.
Now resto druid on the other hand.... insanely good
Hey, anyone able to assist with a macro for classic wow druid :3
What type of macro?
Was looking if its possible, to make on that allows you to shift out of bear form and cast moonfire
Just for a throwboack for the OG's in here http://azeroth.metblogs.com/files/2009/10/catdps.jpg
Is that not wrath?
wotlk, yes
#showtooltip
/stand
/dismount
/cancelform [noform:5]
/cast Moonfire
Can try this one
I'm gonna be sad replacing a warden staff with something I get in the first 5 quests in hellfire
But that feral ap!
that first few minutes in outland replacing all your gear with so much better greens, wonderful. Of course we NEEDED those upgrades....
I will. My bear has levelling stuff from classic
I'm not kidding when I said one dungeon and I was out haha
I liked brd, but strat and lbrs broke me
Are druids going to be like the warriors of classic or do you think our representation will still be relatively scarce in comparison?
what about in raids? I am nervous to roll druid and have difficulties getting raid spots, etc.
@astral nova we never were a problem in raids, only issue was the elitists that blindly listened to kalgan's incompetence of being biased towards the only class he ever mained in multiple games
so id be g2g if I rolled druid?
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.)
the only thing im worried about is that I wont like tbc druid outside of healing.
sorry for the wall of text, i was bored and trying to figure out how to low key kill my raid team during raids...
it was fun to tank, i sometimes was feral, mostly tank tho
think i have screenshots somewhere of being dodge capped and causing a'lar to bug, despawn and wipe the raid )
🙂
no I like hearing it straight from the horses mouth. its kind of a big decision so the mroe insight the better!
play the spec/s that you have fun as
its between this, pally, and shaman. I have no experience playing any of these older specs so im not sure. I watched the madseasonshow breakdown of tbc classes and druid sounds awesome
hmm, you could try each one, but you are going to get druid bias in the druid discord 🙂
if you like one and have fun playing as either spec, go with it
I'm playing classic again, and I'm remembering hating graveyards being rare
how was this conisdered fun
@lone vigil that's kind of what happens when things are rushed to compete with the game where the devs came from
oh I'm aware graveyards at all were considered a genre changing improvement, but still
GYs being rare is incentive not to die 😄
are belfs/draenei implemented on classic yet? like a pre patch - to level them before tbc
Not yet, but there'll be one
I wonder if I level belf in prepatch, will he transfer to "forever classic" server when TBC launches
Hey all. Could anyone tell me how the CD for Imp LOTP works? Does each player affected by the buff have a cooldown, or is it that only one person can be healed per 6 seconds max?
Im asking for TBC specifically
No, you won't be able to make a blood elf on the vanilla servers
That should work in feral form since it's not "on hit".
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?
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
@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
Agi > str in dps
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?
@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
ah it was tbc
;;play hi
If anyone is looking for a fresh NA classic experience, join us as we revive a dead PvP server. Come on in! (DM me...I can't post discord invites!)
anyone know the attack speed for bear tank in TBC?? Does it get faster? I wanna tank in the next expansion but only if the attack speed is faster
Haste
so, still 2.0 or?
you should be spamming pummelers in classic anyway
its fast then :v
base is 2.5 I think
2.5
you have MCP
multiple haste enchants

hey all, i'm UK based and playing on US server, my ms ranges from 100-150 and i read somewhere that feral in classic is pretty important to have low ping. Any truth in this or am i overthinking it ?
unless you have some insane high ping, due to crap isp or playing on a server across the world it shouldnt matter
well it is pretty far away xD but the latency is not too high ..spikes at times but not crazy
honestly the issues you are going to run into are more along the lines of a mis understood stigma created by fanboys who blindly followed a failure of a dev in that feral cant dps or tank during vanilla (classic)
so unless your ping makes it literally unlayable, dont worry about it
Yeah well i'll have to cross that bridge when i get there, more looking forward to TBC tbh
ok sounds good , ty 🙂
no worries
They said they are from the UK playing on a US server and you said unless you’re playing on a server from across the world it shouldn’t matter... bruhhhh. They literally said they are playing from across the world...
its not as bad now as it was during vanilla with pings, since their are 4x (if not more) datacenters around the world
as long as you arent being hampered by your latency to a point where it is unplayable, youll be fine
@unborn wyvern
I get you’ll be fine. I am laughing at your initial response of unless you’re playing on a server across the world you’ll be fine when they said they were playing on a server across the world lol
i just drank a monster, and did a 10 as not the correct spec, im fucking pumped, bruh

That feels good. Been a long time since I’ve gotten a PI (p3 BwL) and the priest engaged it at the weirdest times so it still felt bad
I lie. I had some decent PI feels in AQ40
you are giving me flashbacks of aq40 where during the gong event a crap paladin guild leader came on late at night and screwed people out of the mount and title scarab lord, he also was caught throwing gear to and cybering a terrible lock
lewl good times
Toxic asf
will bears be able to main tank everything in TBC?
Yes
@golden arch the only issue you might run into is if you manage to over cap dodge, it can bug a boss - tanked a'lar back in the day and i accidentally hit my trinket. A'lar shot up to the middle of the room, despawned, respawned and wiped the raid. It was great 🙂
I remember main tanking all of MC but in BWL a warrior had to MT Broodlord and Nefarian, don't know how it is in AQ and Naxx
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.
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
yes
healers need to be awake
in MC I was MT because I could keep aggro way better than all the warriors
we were just casual guild
but once you get going, unless its a disconnect or you have a spaz moment, its hard to kill a druid tank
so we werent min maxing on every WB
same here, one of our warriors ninjaed a sword and it was either wait a week to gear up our arms warrior or "hey,. those 2 ferals that pvp you are tanking now"
To be fair the warrior tanks were boomer warriors who thought deep prot with defense stacking was still the meta
but when we got to broodlord it had to change
I thought you needed a shield for Illidan's shear ability?
you do
Blizz devs literally said in tbc that they made fights that required warriors because warriors were the only tank a real guild would use
youd have to dig but that is almost a verbatim quote
bluepost back in the day lmao
@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.
i came across the Wolfshead Helm, but in wowhead it says only horde has access to it, any chance of me getting it (alliance, not leatherworker)?
That shouldnt be true. I made this on my alliance char before on first endless release
But perhaps that got changed in tbc to be open for both factions so idk for sure
Yes, you can buy them off the AH on alliance
@languid tangle this might help a bit - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wGBasFY8fFGpBtiD1TAUBB99wxboCSVh5MW_6b_z0oU/pubhtml#
well this is the wrong channel for that lol
my bad
no worries
to make up for it @ goosy cat pictures
he likes those
preferrably in the balance channel
g'day
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

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?
boomkin as a dps support and tanking
cat dps good too, but its so hard to play it properly
what about healing and tanking?
im kinda wanting to push myself in bc and tryout healing
maybe boomy/resto
How good is feral in Classic?
@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.
are ferals gunna be dogshit in burning crusade?
no
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
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
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?
Considering we get about 1 msg per week I'm sure we'll cope even if we consider TBC to be offtopic :P
Yeah maybe if there is another server thats more for that topic I would appreciate that too xD
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
link it
pins
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
As is pictured in the pins, instead of the link itself...
Classic druid server requires me to verify my phone to post in it? What on earth
That's cat
When I change the "Use Mana / dark rune" parameters or the Natural Shapeshifter talent the DPS is not changing. Should I Flag something else to consider shapeshifting? (PS: I also changed the fight duration to >90s).
If you’re running alliance it assumes you have judgement of wisdom on the boss which gives so much mana
nop. I changed to horde
Hmm, well the sim is just purely equation based
Try yourself right now and put zero on Natural Shapeshifter
Check which buffs you have on
I haven’t turned on classic in a while
But iirc it’s like 100 mana per second without mana regen if you don’t get any omen stuff
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
@unborn wyvern There are instructions on how to access that discord in pins?
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
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 🙂
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.
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.
DM’d, thanks for your help Broccoliz.
the feral models are so bad in classic/tbc its the entire reason I dont play druid again
@proper maple some players used to customize forms, it was amazing being a giant aq40 scarab bug running around
Would be nice to put the hd cat into tbc..
The wotlk one?
The resources here are insufficient as fuck
No link to feral sim, no link to any stat guides and weights for feral bears
No information on values/weights and optimal pieces, no info on talents
only good thing in the pins is the link to the actual discord

You guys think this is a good talent tree for TBC powershifting? https://legacy-wow.com/tbc-talents/druid-talents/?tal=01400000000000000000055000213232210503125105403001000000000000
if this is just pure feral dps, you should take 4 out of improved NG and do one more point of naturalist and 3/3 survival of the fittest. buffing NG slightly isn't worth giving up 2% damage and 3% stats
can anyone tell me what talents I take pre level 20 if i plan on leveling as feral
i just specced as if i had access to cat form but just used bear instead
Reduced cost of abilities. Then demo shout thing too. Basically top two talents fill.
do addons still get conflicted between retail and classic?
No, if they do they have a seperate version usually
so after hitting 2/2 blood frenzy ( leveling ) is spending CP at 4+ or always 5 ?
you almost always spend 5 combo points if you're raiding
if youre levelling do whatever will kill it fastest based on current hp
hey where can i find a resto druid talent guide?
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
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
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
when was savage roar put in?
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?
They'll both be replaced by level 61-62 greens, it won't matter
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
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.
anyone have a good sim of kara tier worth of gear vs wolfshead helm?
Wildheart is junk. Get the pre raid list if you can
Imho only long term prep before tbc is consumables for leveling and professions.
Thank you for an actual answer. I realize that all this will be replaced as we work our way towards Shattrath, but we will need gear good enough to run the dungeons right off the start.
Lvling as feral. Weapon damage/speed mean nothing correct. Just looking at stats?
Correct.
If it has increased attack speed/haste on it that's great, but the speed of the weapon does nothing
Hey guys, is Resto in TBC going to be a full time tree? Or is that a cooldown ?
Full time
I'm just going to chug rotation videos and figure it out. looking at it typed out i don't think that's a good question to ask.
my friend said tbc hunter is so good and boomking for the buffs
people! Specifically people with beta!
did anyone try out the boomkin-mana-melee mechanic?
like procc rate etc, mana gain etc
How does resto Druid play in tbc?
hello. does anyone by chance know of a guide for feral druid in TBC arenas? comps/gears/stats/talents, in 3v3 especially? thank you very much 😄
Where could I look to get boosted in lvling for gold? I am EU
Anyone know where i can find boomkin sims kekw
does leader of the pack apply to yourself or just party members
It applies to all 5 party members.
so question - is maim actually useful in arenas? there's no combo point carryover, right? so youd have to build points, then maim (but it not being a stun.. kinda defeats the point then)? please prove me wrong
as a feral, that is
Ye s it’s very useful, 20 second CD 1-5 second cheap shot
Being able to double stun within a 1 second gcd with berserk burst and follow up is godly
Onl this is classicI just realised
No
feral isn’t that good in tbc especially with everyone going to be meta slaving maybe in a 3v3 rot comp
Go resto
mh, does anyone have an idea what we can do to farm a bit more gold until tbc ? i have no gdkp runs on my realm .. and herbs are almost worthless atm :/
Is resto good in TBC?
Very good pvp, good in raid at <=2
so 2nd tier in pve?
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
@brisk jackal TBC resto was unreal in pvp
I mainly Pve though
Hots stack in TBC @craggy river
Can someone expain to me how detection works? Is it a chance, does being lower level make you more likely to be detected? Im having trouble figuring out when players (and mobs) can see me.
It's not a chance
It's more like a range
Depending how far you are away and only infront of them
will guilds taking 1 feral tank also be taking a feral cat? does it bring anything extra to the raid#?
For TBC or Classic? My guild runs with 1 feral tank and 1 feral cat in classic now. In TBC, I suspect there will be some guilds still running that as well if they aren't min/maxing the raid comp
@sour orchid sorry, for tbc
Does anything like the hotw druid build exist in TBC ?
where you can heal and do world content
Resto druid dreamstate pvp spec: https://legacy-wow.com/tbc-talents/druid-talents/?tal=51430201203313023100000000000000000000000025003350031500000000
I play feral so I can't vouch for it personally, but i've heard of others running it and it looks fine to me.
Go to the classic Druid discord in the pins. Mountains of resources there.
great tank, great healer, average dps. Great, desired, arguably necessary support
As always, check out the Druid Classic discord link in the pins for in depth info.
Bosa doing gods work here lmaooo
Lol it’s painful isn’t it
Bosa sent me here
Guardian is great if you want to get prebis for dps quocklh
imagine being called guardian in tbc
Oh no... lol
Anyone who can point me to a good resto spec for raiding please
Should I say it?
51/0/0 is the right spec for healing bro
what level do you get moonkin
What would you do for talents for leveling as a druid?
I'm thinking going straight 20 in feral for movement
40
Feral 10-60
is swipe actually useful in tbc for cat dps? 🙂
Balance Druid is the only way
convoke in tbc confirmed? ppc
Little payo ppc ofc
"If any moonkin in Classic Wow has Hand of Sulfuras ... just stay away from that person." - Asmongold
the original owlweaving
i'm more upset about the trinkets actually
Upset because you’re a mage?
Yep main mage in classic, got nelt and mgq first in the guild and still upset. I lvld a 60 boomie did zg spent 60% of time melee swing the bosses coz oom and deleted the char
Then you didn’t rank 1 SF at the proper threshold + vate/major mana/rune on CD. I’ve never melee swinged once in all raids including 15/15 naxx
Chad tear
I can hear the cries of mages and locks from here
do i have time to be ready for bc if i start now?
Wdym by ready
If you just mean level 60 then that's like 6? Days played time at least or so
Also considering there's gonna be a boost option when BC hits anyway
i mean dont you need rep and what not?
You don't need vanilla reps for bc content
If you've been looking at the wowhead stuff about how to prep it's loads of clown shit about how to sweaty try hard minmax levelling when it's just absolutely not worth it at all lmao
Endgame content will still be piss whether you devoted 1000 hours to preparing for it or just 10
Just boost a 58 and play
any tbc classic druid discord server?
Same one as the classic one in pins. They have tbc channels in there w/ a bunch of information
Anyone maining feral In tbc?
Ewww feral
Does anyone have a macro for casting Faerie Fire/Feral Faerie Fire in one button depending on form. I tried a form command macro but it doesn't work
/cast [form:1, form:2] Faerie Fire (Feral); [form:0] Faerie Fire
^ This. I'm not sure what commands are available in classic
Cat is form:3 if you have aquatic form.
/cast [form:1/3] Faerie Fire (Feral); [noform] Faerie Fire
are there any active druid discords for classic
this one is dead nobody discusses anything
Literally first pin in this channel
streaming tbc beta if anyone wants to talk druid w me 🙂
Scottejaye also on twitch. I'm doing twitch on boomy later tonight in aq40
how viable is feral in arena for tbc?
people didnt go treeants in tbc?
This channel
Does Mangle Bleed bonus damage apply to existing bleeds?
Hey all! I am currently a resto druid in wow classic, however i am thinking in going feral tank route comes TBC for dungeons leveling. However i am concern if i will be able to tank TBC's Hellfire Peninsule dungeons on Normal with my current feral gear: wowhead.com/gear-planner/druid/tauren/AjwM9QUiATAwIhUfBQAvAVi-AkKpAzJ_BTrYBlSrBzrWCFSNCTKmCjrXC0m_DDEADTTLDjaOD0u6EEhj
Hey anybody knows or can confirm of the feral power shift change?
is this the BC druid discord?
It doesn't snapshot in TBC. If the mangle debuff drops, the next RIP tick will not have the extra damage to it.
First pin has the link to the classic one that has channels for TBC with lengthy discussions of TCing and all other things TBC druid.
No i mean if I apply rip and then mangle, the next rip tick will benefit from mangle?
It should, yes
thx ❤️
Quick question, Did tank druids stack hit or expertise or did they jsut stack stam agi in TBC
Same question for Feral as well
thanks 😛 one more question. When you powershift, does it reset your auto-attack swing time? Mostly interested for Bear form, if the 10 rage from powershift worth it.. unless I miss the next auto attack (threat and rage)
It's all good, just in different values. Can check out seventyupgrades.com and look at the stat weights there for a starting point.
I think it's 5 rage in TBC and you don't want to powershift bear for rage in TBC. You want the auto/threat generators.
ok thanks! its 10 rage btw
maybe its worth as you move towards the mob if you have no rage
Im late to the party, but just got Beta. I have a question about Feral talents when we first go, Should you fill in the resto points for Omen, and then go down the feral as far as you can, filling out as you level? Or the other way around? (edit:since we will only have 51 talent points before we start leveling to 70)
You're right, it was 5 rage on the wolfshead helm.
:)
yooooooooooo is MCP supposed to not incur a cd on use
is that a bug or is MCP still the play
When you switch to a new MCP it does
@final mantle

Hello everybody,
i need some help and i hope you can help me?!
Im looking for a bis list or something else for TBC. Prefer RestroDruid.
Yes. Won't get replaced until possibly the end of TBC/WoTLK prepatch
Thanks!
Hi everyone. New to classic and levelling my first druid. I have a question, wrt weapons, does weapon skill matter for cat/bear form? Also, do on-hit effects like the attack power for beasts work in cat form?
Like I have this staff from houndsmaster and I'm not sure it's an upgrade?
My dumb ass vendored the staff I had accidentally so I can't test til I find another. lol
Weapon skill doesn't matter for druids in cat/bear in classic. Cat attack speed is 1.0 and bear attack speed is 2.5. If it says "proc on hit" or something along those lines, it wont' work in form. If it's just +attack power against beasts or undead, it should work.
Thank you!!
(Does this change in BC?)
Not to my knowledge
thank you, again
in BC you will have feral attack power, which effectivly is the dps of a weapon
which means dps matter, while in classic weapon dps isnt relevant at all
Does any one knows if we gonna get a free talent respec comes the pre-patch ?
you do get a free respec because the trees don't just extend but change enough to warrant it.
Hey, do you know if someone streams TBC feral these days?
Scottejaye87
Got it, thanks 🙂
Do you always use mangle instead of claw once you get it
Yes, mangle > claw.
virgin mangle vs the chad claw
do you guys think its possible to reach 58 or 60 till release if i start today and cant really nolife it?with druid
It's like 6-8 days played time in vanilla without any dungeon boosting or cheese shit
Prepatch has nerfed XP and more quests but it's still probably at least like 5 days played or so
So probably not
rip then
Basically yeah
You can buy a 58 boost. You’re welcome
yeah i know but rather spend it on gametime
hi
guys
so im back 🙂
for TBC tmrw
any1 have a BiS list or website that shows BiS PVP gear for every phase?
I have scoured the net and cant find anything
any urls?
Your scoured did you? Did you just happen to pass over Seventyupgrades?
how long is 60-70 going to take?
probably one week of casual play
yea you can boost 1 character per account starting after maintenance today
is there an official druid tbc discord?
Aldor or Scryer?
idk xD
Hey so I'd my understanding is correct all 3 specs except moonkin should go aldor? Is that right or wrong?
Same as classic (first pin), they have a lot of TCing going on in their TBC channels.
Feral doesn't matter, just personal preference.
always forgot the pin,thanks
When is the prepatch coming out in EU ?
tomorrow
they said 4 am on twitter
Shit
How many points do I do in feral tree before going omen for omen of clarity?
Just saw Barkskin is only usable in the caster form... wtf 
Maintenance time extended again. 10pm PDT
feral tank here I come 🙂
I mained a holy priest in TBC and always wished I was a bear tank haha
I kinda want to try my druid again with the pre-patch
He got 60, but classic was not for me
Do it
I love my bear in classic
I will be playing a priest in tbc though cos my druid is on a dead server and I cant transfer cos it's the only oceanic pve server
When is servers up?? for EU
anyone know if Swift Fligth Form quest will be available from the start?
it was 13 GMT, but they extended 'til 14
will our addons just work as they did before?
Does anyone know how to setup elvui for TBC?
KEKW
Unlucky TBC got cancelled 
Hey guys! I have a question about build and template in TBC. Someone can explain to me why in tank spec Shreddings attrracks is taken but not Savage Fury... I don't understand why ... Can you help me please ? thanks guys 🙂
16! Hahaha
Which template?
And I also Find this one, It's better I think but without demoralizing roar talents https://www.wowisclassic.com/fr/calculateur-talents-tbc/druide/-3wFj8UaQdFtUc0M-4RSzc/
In fact I want to Tank dungeons and Dps everywhere else
@sour orchid =]
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
But Anyway, thank you Keynas 🙂
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?
it's about as good and desirable as it is in retail, lol
We didn't use rip as a finisher in classic due to debuff limits and because boss armor was close to 0 that ferocious bite did more DPS. Going into TBC, the bosses there have more armor and the debuff slot limits are are essentially removed and mangle buff to bleeds, so rip's value goes up
anyone else getting insane lag spikes when shapeshifting?
Question, in the TBC client can you have a macro that shifts into cat form if you are in any other form or no form but doesnt do anything in cat form?
Trying to make a dash macro to shift into cat form from anything but cat form, but its shifting out and back into cat form, in cat form and using a ton of mana
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
Would anyone know if Vuhdo is working for tbc classic? I use Wowup and the button on the minimap is not showing up.
#showtooltip
/use [noform:3] !Cat form
/use Dash
Using the form or noform conditional helps you make macros that do different stuff depending on your form
form:3 is Cat form unless you have skipped the quest to get aquatic form (in that case I think it's number 2 instead; The number of the form is always is the position of the form in your form bar)
You can change the first line to #showtooltip Dash if you want the icon to always show dash tooltip and cooldown
Anyone got any good uis and any keybind tips
Anyone have a recommendation for a resto build? Finding different ones on guides
@sly nebula what exactly are you looking for ?
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?
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
(farming new gear excluded)
Thanks. What do you mean with farming new gear excluded? are you referring to switching to boomie, or is farming gear not fun? 😄
For level 60-70 or before hand too?
Surely is fun. Yet doing it solo may take some time
I guess druid it is then 😄
and enjoy your flying mount lvl 68, just being able to taunt people from the sky is worth the boost
Does anyone have a macro working on BC for War Stomp and going back to form? my old one doesn't work anymore since we auto unshift now (finally).
Should I start out with two gathering professions, or is there any good gear to be crafted in LW/tailoring?
What spec (feral, boom, resto?)?
I assume i'd be leveling as feral, endgame either go feral or boom dps?
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.
and if you want the helm for fun it's easier to just buy it.
What helm is that? sorry, my knowledge is limited 😄
for 60-70
Game keeps freezing up anytime I shape shift or mount up. Anyone else having this problem?
I don't have a poo poo computer so am comfused
Might have been hear kitty
i disabled it and now im guuci i think
My prowl macro in case it might save someone some time. Will prowl you from any form whether you're mounted or not:
#showtooltip Prowl /dismount /cancelaura [stance:1] Bear Form; [stance:2] Aquatic Form /cast [nostance:3] Cat Form(Shapeshift); [nostealth, nocombat] /cast Prowl
