what are some good rogue leveling builds using daggersfor pvp?

plucky iron
#

lol

dusk crystal
#

u can't use axe

#

couldn't until wotlk im pretty sure

pallid vigil
#

im acutally thinking of dropping MOD and going full into opportunity for leveling

#

This seems a little odd as a pvp/leveling build with daggers.

plucky nymph
#

Seems odd to level with daggers to begin with, but OK.

pallid vigil
#

how much does respeccing cost

plucky nymph
#

Scales

pallid vigil
#

scales for each purchase yeah?

plucky nymph
#

Yeah I think the first is it free or under 10s.

pallid vigil
#

I likely wont be solo leveling so swords isnt really a big deal

#

I guess it doesn't make too much sense tho

#

since this is more a max level build lol

#

I guess the earliest you can get blade flurry is level 30

#

if you b-line for it

@plucky nymph Human rogue blacksmith gets that stun hammer? or is that bc

I really really dont want to respec a lot. and combat seems pretty smooth.

There are some other maces in Vanilla though.

#

How would a rogue aoe without bladeflurry? Tab ruptures?

#

2min CD for 15 sec seems pretty weak compared to warrior cleave.

plucky nymph
#

No.

vocal hornet
#

Cleave whirlwind sweeping strikes. That's a lot of stuff. I assume dps warriors peeled a lot and died.

plucky nymph
#

Yeah they could.

#

Still tanky due to plate and having defensive options.

#

After your tank has a Thunderfury though there's little chance of ever pulling any trash off of him.

tough pilot
#

lol to that guy who think leveling with daggers in a group is no big deal. doing less damage then you would with swords increases the time you and your group do dungeons and quests. If you arent going for speed then i guess thats no big deal, but if you're trying to hit 60 anytime soon, then you have to use swords.

#

You're legit sacrificing a huge amount of damage and time by choosing to level with daggers.

vocal hornet
#

I have read some really weird guides today

#

one said that shadow was top tier pve dps.

#

🚪

tough pilot
#

The best pve build for for leveling out the gates and first tier is basic cookie cutter combat sword builds.

#

There just arent any good daggers until later tiers to compete with swords. It's just fact.

#

So unless you always want to do less damage, then you're gonna be pretty much forced to go swords.

vocal hornet
#

lol riposte is a 6sec cd.

#

does a standard combat leveler fighting stuff a few levels low, kill ezpz?

#

someone was making it sound like I need a healer for solo content, and that cant be right

#

lol vigor doesnt increase energy gain, but +10e

#

wtf

plucky nymph
#

Ye

dusk crystal
#

vigor is for those mad pvp combos xd

sand cipher
#

you dont need a healer for solo content, but later on you may need to cripple kite mobs

Anybody have numbers of the quantity of ap the orc racial gives? Cause it seems to 25% of base ap, so it seems kinda shitty

plucky iron
#

its the best horde racial for rogues

#

for pve

unkempt cove
#

Orc and undead are both good.

#

Undead mostly for PvP

pure jewel
#

Yeah that's the question if the active racial of orc is such a changer to ignore the undead racial for pvp, cause i'll proabably play both a lot so dunno

spark raptor
#

orc racial is insane for pvp as well. 25% stunresist.

plucky iron
#

yeah

#

25% stun resist is retarded

I might go for it just for that but i wanted to hear some opinions thx guys

Don't have HARD numbers, yaknow?

It's an issue with energy, dmg, crit ratings, etc.

broken pollen
#

fair enough

plucky nymph
#

and a general lack of daggers.

#

But you get two very good daggers in AQ, so.

#

If you didn't have TF by then you probably go Daggers until you do w/e you want in Naxx.

plucky nymph
#

Then TBC releases and you go Combat again because your builder is Mutilate and is only usable behind the target and was a poor design choice at the tim

#

so our best bet will be to level combat, right? if i can remember from back in the day combat was go to for me when i leveled but i didnt know much about the game then

#

feels like its a better idea though

#

since were fighting mobs head to head so backstabbing is annoying early on right

plucky nymph
#

Yes.

sand cipher
#

combat swords to level

#

can reroll daggers later for pvp, or stay combat swords for pve

plucky nymph
#

Discord taking a poop on itself.

#

or do combat daggers later on.

raven snow
#

i mean i played combat p much all of vanilla mostly because i could never get good daggers lol. ill have to see how im feeling at 60

plucky nymph
#

For leveling it's a struggle unless you wanna SS with daggers, which is fine, but the damage range is rough.

raven snow
#

what do we do from 1-10? i forget where to get an early sword am i stuck with daggers for first few?

#

ideally id like to avoid spending money early on just to save for a mount

plucky nymph
#

You smash with what you get.

#

Looks like that.

#

You basically want a weapon with your LEVEL as the bottom of the damage range.

Anyone try frontstabbing on live classic beta?

acoustic heath
#

frontstabbing doesn't work on live

jade flint
#

Heard people got it to work but just not consistantly. Didn't try personally.

acoustic heath
#

oh really? Thought the already said it didn't work when people tried it on the first demo

jade flint
#

Im going to look more into it. I'd be suprised if it works tbh.

acoustic heath
#

yea me too

#

It didn't work in vanilla back in the day right?

#

so it shouldn't work now

jade flint
#

I don't believe it did, anywhere I read or look theres always a few people claiming it did. I was always under the impression it was a server lag on private servers thing

acoustic heath
#

yea exactly that's the info I read up on aswell

#

can't find any recent posts on it tho

or any info

rag first week gunna be interesting

wait, im pepega

#

2 weeks seems doable

mellow quartz
#

I think the race is going to be a dud, mechanically classic bosses are pretty tame compared to what mythic does today. like ragnaros himself was like, melee get out of melee range when he yells, move away from the dude that gets hammer of ragnaros. and kill the adds during submerge phase. thats dungeon boss material for BFA

fossil steeple
#

the race will be "who gets the required fire resist gear first"

hushed laurel
#

You barely need FR for mC besides tanks needing 80 or so

#

Week 1 rag will be interesting to watch to see their strats. I'm sure it'll be a few dungeon cleave groups and mages farming rep for quints

#

But the actual raids will be boring. Vanilla raids suck up till cthun basically

wind lantern
#

You think mc will be cleared first week?

#

I'd say like...
The 11th or 12th day

#

I'm interested in how small of a raid group people will be able to MC with.

vocal hornet
#

what is a fast lvl 60? like 7/days played?

#

4 maybe

ornate jetty
#

4 is fast

vocal hornet
#

i remember my priest was 22 ish. but that was dilly dally exploring

#

the 5 man dungeon grind bonus xp is probably the fastest way now.

ornate jetty
#

Depends

plucky nymph
#

Also most of the prior speedruns are done on servers and during a time where it's entirely undisrupted.

#

I'd probably spend a good amount of time trying to get out ahead of people and going back to questing once you're a few levels ahead.

wind lantern
#

I recently heard that average play time on "blizz like" private servers was 12-13 days. I believe it. I got about 10 on my shadow priest trying to go pretty fast but also doing dungeons and pvping here and there. I'd say 7 is still pretty damn fast, but yeah, some people will be at 4 days or less.

plucky nymph
#

pServers tend to have inflated experience values.

wind lantern
#

Yea that's one of the reasons I used quotation marks. But I dont think it's an insane difference. Also one thing to watch out for is world first vs speed run (lowest /played time)

vocal hornet
#

granted when i did it, I got rested. People racing wont. and there are no xp pots. so raw time and efficiency

#

when were summoning stones added

#

mid MC ?

Question;
If solo leveling as a rogue swords is the go to with the option of frontstab daggers as well. Is it better in a group with a warrior and hunter to go daggers for the extra dps as I'll almost always be able to attack from behind?

plucky nymph
#

Frontstabbing isn't a thing last I saw.

#

Swords/Maces/etc. the entire way, regardless of group.

livid palm

Front stab is a private server thing. Backstabbing from the front would literally make no sense

ornate jetty

Frontstab, again, just confirming for him not in classic

wind lantern

Theres gonna be a huge influx of noobs in clasic

hushed laurel

Yerp, it's exciting

Hopefully layering gives them a enjoyable early experience

If classic is to really succeed, they need new players to join up and stick around

mint socket
#

anyone know if the deathstalkers have an official classic server?

signal ember
#

TBC and Wrath was nice expan, even tho wrath started to go toward to casual route.

tough pilot
#

"casual route", because classic wasn't casual friendly?

#

Hate to break it to you but wow has been casual routed since day 1.

#

Doesn't mean that it doesnt cater to hardcore players tho.

#

Devs themselves even have stated they made wow for every day people. If you think classic was made for 1% hardcore players... idk what to say.

#

Hell id argue retail WoW caters more to hardcore players than Classic ever will.

#

Strictly due to Mythic raiding (which majority of the community doesn't even partake in) and mythic +

#

and im a classic > retail guy

#

but classic wasn't as hardcore as some like to paint the picture..

#

WoW Classic release: 5 days 2 hours 29 minutes 25 seconds

consumable and repair gold demand in naxx was the tipping point from fun to miserable job for me.

I made it through 4horsemen before crying

plucky nymph
#

yaBigBaby

tough pilot
#

yeah thats def not fun lmao

dusk crystal
#

casuals had plenty of shit to do in vanilla imo

#

leveling by itself was a big deal

tough pilot
#

People just have to take the goggles off eventually, i mean 5 days to go and people will see. Classic was amazing environment for casuals. Way better than retail.

plucky nymph
#

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhdunnoaboutthat

tough pilot
#

Being hardcore in classic is so minor to being hardcore in retail.

#

I mean i was a brainless 13-14 year old rogue at the time in classic clearing raids and content with ease. Wasn't hardcore at all nor even knew what hardcore was at the time.

#

If my dumb child self could do majority of the content, i can only imagine people nowadays with ENDLESS outlets of info will be fine.

#

I never had a Joana guide or a youtube 1-60 with pauses to push me to the finish line lmao.

#

Once you take goggles off its easy to see.

neat sun
#

Yeah, getting through Naxx is a fucking cakewalk now

tough pilot
#

All it ever was and is, is gear checks.

neat sun
#

Naxx in Classic is about LFR difficulty, maybe normal, of a modern raid

tough pilot
#

Aka time gated, by grinding endless dungeons or farming for resis gear.

#

Exactly.

neat sun
#

BUT, at the time, most people had never played an MMO and EVERYTHING was new to them

tough pilot
#

Right, at the time it def was more challenging, i 100% agree.

neat sun
#

"Wait, this boss has 3 mechanics? WTF that's impossible"

tough pilot
#

LOL

dusk crystal
#

it was definitely not easy at the time, pointless to compare current wow in any way

plucky nymph
#

:3

neat sun
#

It has a point because it's being released alongside it.

#

WoW Classic is still grindy - but all of the content will be accessible by anyone who actually wants to see it.

tough pilot
#

Yeah was only comparing since the guy brought up where the game became casual routed.

neat sun
#

People who only run Normal now will step into MC and BWL and think, "Man okay this is easy as fuck"

#

While back in Classic, they were legit hard

vocal hornet
#

Naxx1 and LFR difficulty? C'mon now. That's just being silly.

tough pilot
#

Exactly.

dusk crystal
#

razorgore will still surprise many raids

plucky nymph
#

Please do note that when we had MC anniversary people still failed miserably.

dusk crystal
#

guaranteed

tough pilot
#

I dont think its silly at all.

neat sun
#

@sterile pond I know dude - I wound up taking over the MC raid and leading it in chat

tough pilot
#

i think you're right too, it will def catch guilds off guard but once again so many outlets of information.

neat sun
#

I was the only one in my raid who had done it before

tough pilot
#

one quick youtube swipe and you have everything you could ever need.

dusk crystal
#

its just a huge step up in difficulty from MC for a first boss

neat sun
#

MC wasn't even hard at the end of classic.

tough pilot
#

Like we're spoiled in this day and age with information compared to back then.

#

we've learned from mistakes.

dusk crystal
#

MC was easy always if you werent braindead

tough pilot
#

Gonna be hard to repeat a lot of mistakes if your guild prepares.

neat sun
#

When The Forgotten Coast was released, my guild cleared to Domo on the second week of the server, and on the 3rd week we wiped at like 5% on Chromag

plucky nymph
#

Much like Heroic now.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

vocal hornet
#

Major difference I see between vanilla and classic. People leveled what they wanted back then. Turned out some of them sucked. But people had hope that things would be buffed/balanced. Now we know better.

plucky nymph
#

Eh, we still didn't take the bad classes to Naxx.

vocal hornet
#

If you know that sin will never be good. You don't play it.

neat sun
#

The thing is, even shit builds today will do more damage than they did back then

#

An ENH shaman today will do more damage than the average one did back then because they understand the rotation more

vocal hornet
#

There wasnt much of a rotation.

dusk crystal
#

so will good builds

neat sun
#

Not saying it'll be good - I'm saying the person playing it will be better

vocal hornet
#

We you 12 in vanilla?

neat sun
#

Yeah, but even then - "rotations" that were only 3 buttons seemed hard to most people.

#

Me? No - I was 20

#

Half of my guild? Probably 14-16

plucky nymph
#

If they were hard for a 20 yr old you might have been 12.

neat sun
#

I didn't say I struggled with it

#

But considering I have 30 year olds that fuck up the same task they've been doing for 5 years at work...

plucky nymph
#

You said hard, I said hard.

vocal hornet
#

Threatwjll surprise a lot of people.

#

aoe taunt so i can do mega aoe plx

plucky nymph
#

etc.

neat sun
#

I just feel bad for all of the Deadmines groups that fail because they think Pallies can tank

dusk crystal
#

pala tanks are sad, no matter how hard you try a keyboard turning warrior is better

vocal hornet
#

One of our guys has a boner for pally tank. So we are building around it for lolz.

#

Like you said. Better players right.

tough pilot
#

I just think its greedy to play pally tank personally.

neat sun
#

Pally Tank isn't even possible until like level 25 or something anyway

vocal hornet
#

Sure.

neat sun
#

And even then - it's not "good" until the 50s

tough pilot
#

but if you have buds that wanna play around it, then all power to ya

plucky nymph
#

Paladin Tanks are pretty dumb in some places, but it's more about their damage than their tankiness at that oint.

tough pilot
#

this is also why TBC > any exp 😉

neat sun
#

^

tough pilot
#

balance became a thing

neat sun
#

Pallies, IMO, shine in 5-man level 60 dungeons

#

Anything with undead, they are monsters

tough pilot
#

oh for sure

#

they're def able to be pulled off but need a lot of specific gear if i recall.

vocal hornet
#

Prot pally getting Disc PI and Misdirect

#

It woulda been boring in a normal build probably.

tough pilot
#

im pretty rock brain when it comes to pallys tho, kinda wanna make one eventually down the road tho.

neat sun
#

Pallies are the best power levelers in the game

vocal hornet
#

I had one. Pulling 50x undead and swarming them into a crypt.

neat sun
#

Level 60 Pally can boost you from around 15 to 50 in no time.

tough pilot
#

thats nutty

neat sun
#

consecration + ret aura + shield spike

vocal hornet
#

Trying to decide my role for project prot. Rogue has vanish. But fury has offtaunt if shit goes sideways.

#

Frost can Nova peeled trash.

neat sun
#

Fury is the highest dps in vanilla if I remember correctly

plucky nymph
#

Warrior is very versatile in the DPS spot.

neat sun
#

BUT, you'll spend 1/3 of your time tanking

plucky nymph
#

Fury has the highest potential at the end of the expansion but their DPS is not actionable.

vocal hornet
#

That's fine. Prot wants thunderfury tbh.

plucky nymph
#

and is therefor useless.

tough pilot
#

gotcha

vocal hornet
#

I'm just after lols

plucky nymph
#

Rogues and Mages maul them and everyone else.

#

Well, Rogues and Mage.

dusk crystal
#

neat sun
#

It would be interesting to see Classic overhauled to remove shit, like max debuff slots etc.

#

I wonder how good a warlock could be if they could actually use their dots

tough pilot
#

ive always wanted to see that as well

#

bet locks would def be nice

plucky nymph
#

Yeah I think the game could be made more interesting if some specs got a rework, though I think we will see more Enhancement Shaman if crit can get high enough.

#

More uhhh...

#

Shadow Priests, maybe.

tough pilot
#

Yes SP's too! maybe even balance druid!

vocal hornet
#

We were so bad. We had 6 locks that had curse of Doom on onyxia.

tough pilot
#

love balance even tho its meme

vocal hornet
#

Back at 8debuffs.

tough pilot
#

lol

vocal hornet
#

Waiting for that to pop

neat sun
#

That, IMO, is just another reason I'll spend far more time on a TBC server once it's available.

#

TBC will always be the best expansion for me

vocal hornet
#

Like I said. Leveling took so fucking long. People just kept what they made.

tough pilot
#

Yeah once that TBC server comes, ill be set as far as WoW goes.

#

Can retire then lol.

plucky nymph
#

So if nothing else I do support people trying something different.

#

Just don't get pissy when we were right 15 years ago.

neat sun
#

I don't care if people play fuck-off builds as long as they actually try to maximize it.

vocal hornet
#

@plucky nymph Does the wise player go fury, knowing prot will need help with swaps.

tough pilot
#

yeah some guilds are ok with meme builds and others arent. i know the guild im in, isn't allowing meme specs.

vocal hornet
#

I can dance and hot swap taunts.

plucky nymph
#

I think if you are a warrior you have options.

neat sun
#

I don't even have a guild

#

I don't even know what server I'm playing on yet

tough pilot
#

Damn!

plucky nymph
#

You have shield wall taunt weapon swap to cheese some stuff.

#

Can OT drakes in BWL/etc.

That will be very easy.

#

IMO

neat sun
#

I was hoping to have people to play with in Classic, but all of my friends are playing with people that I don't really want to be around at all.

#

So I'm rolling 100% solo in Classic

vocal hornet
#

Just don't have time to try hard.

plucky nymph
#

Will be fine.

#

Get some Thorium Brotherhood Rep. as you might have to OT Rag.

#

and will need the FR + STA from their pieces.

vocal hornet
#

Wanted rogue. But I feel that our stubborn project prot won't give up.

#

Rogue is not my best slot to assist

plucky nymph
#

TBF you can play around threat much better in Classic than now.

#

and so long he can do enough damage in burst he can effectively taunt.

vocal hornet
#

Is feint classic?

dusk crystal
#

yea it reduces threat by x amount

#

:x

blissful locust
#

tbf, i always thought threat is more a dps then a tank mechanic

plucky nymph
#

It's very much both.

vocal hornet
#

Just not sure that we had feint for 1.12 is all.

plucky nymph
#

As taunt works differently in Vanilla than in TBC even IIRC.

neat sun
#

It does

blissful locust
#

ye, but i mean

#

tanks use skills on the gcd if possible anyway

plucky nymph
blissful locust
#

dps are the guys that need too watch out and stop doing stuff/use threat reducing abilitys

neat sun
#

Unless you're a rogue

plucky nymph
#

and it's minus ~800 threat.

neat sun
#

Oh, I'm #2 on threat? Okay... vanishes

plucky nymph
#

Which is almost 2x your DPS.

dusk crystal
#

theres gonna be that dude still manages to pull aggro and die as rogue

neat sun
#

100%

dusk crystal
#

oh didnt know i had vanish xd

vocal hornet
#

High dps with vanish and feint is prob better than a dead fury warrior.

neat sun
#

My biggest "man I can't fucking wait!" is when I forget to turn taunt off in a 5man

plucky nymph
#

Correct.

neat sun
#

That and, "Oops, I accidently pulled 2/3 of LBRS with a multishot"

plucky nymph
#

There's a very good reason Rogues get -Threat on tier sets.

#

even -Threat to Finishers o _O

dusk crystal
#

yolo pet pulls, wasnt me btw

#

UBRS balcony or whats that thing

neat sun
#

LBRS, where you skp the first boss and then drop down and tag him on the way out

plucky nymph
#

Yeah that's the thing.

neat sun
#

Oops, accidently the whole room

#

My goal is to have my epic mount by the end of the third week. Obviously, I want it sooner... But I think 3 weeks to level and farm 1k gold is fair

plucky nymph
#

Eh if you are a Rogue or Mage you can farm that gold pretty fast.

neat sun
#

yup

#

Even running SM you get like ~40 gold per hour

#

I'll be doing things like that just to change it up.

dusk crystal
#

i was so poor back then even tho i found a couple boe epics

neat sun
#

I wasn't

dusk crystal
#

maybe it was the warrior repairs

neat sun
#

I usually worked overnights. On nights I didn't work, I just farmed Rich Thorium all night long.

#

I had a character named SchwettyBallz on Burning Legion where I'd crafted a bunch of Arcanite weapons

#

I have been thinking about rolling something other than rogue though - I've basically only played Rogue for all of WoW. But, I'm also good at it 😕

vocal hornet
#

Since it's not as competitive, maybe it's just fun this time.

plucky nymph
#

Yeah should be much more casual this time around.

#

Minus the critical roles on some encounters.

neat sun
#

Problem is, I legit love rogues

dusk crystal
#

lock, mage, rogue, warrior

not easy to pick

@lucid beacon skinning probably makes a good amount

@lucid beacon , get skinning, dont buy feint, dont buy wound poison, dont buy high ranks of gouge

thanks ! should i sell everything i skin in the AH?

acoustic heath

no just vendor

spark raptor

No, vendor

lucid beacon

oh really? 😮

Sounds like ez moneyz

spark raptor

Yeah everyone will run skinning so youll be unable to sell it

lucid beacon
#

imagine everyone being smart 😛

#

don't overestimate casuals 😄

spark raptor
#

Might be worth to save "hides" on a bank alt

#

Esp on high lvls, rugged hide is pretty valueable and is relevant throughout vanilla

lucid beacon
#

sounds good. i want to switch to engineering on 60 prolly

acoustic heath
spark raptor
#

You need it for pre bis healer cloak, and i think leather classes need em for T3

acoustic heath
#

this guide also mentions what skills to buy

lucid beacon
#

engineering is bae :3

acoustic heath
#

in order to save money

lucid beacon
#

thanks nefy

acoustic heath
#

you don't need to buy expose armor and stuff like that

#

np

lucid beacon
#

i'll prolly play on a pvp server can't wait to play open world pvp on rogue 😄

acoustic heath
#

na or eu? owoThinking

spark raptor
#

Im on the edge regarding expose. Its good in pvp sometimes. But most ppl wont use it

lucid beacon
#

EU

acoustic heath
#

nah I rather not buy it to save money tbh 😁

lucid beacon
#

expose is good against warrior/pally/priest right?

acoustic heath
#

yea its good against plate

#

shazzrah?

spark raptor
#

Fair enough

lucid beacon
#

might go on a german server and shazzrah seems overpopulated as fk.. i'm not to keen on those 5h+ queues

acoustic heath
#

yea was thinking about a german server aswell

#

but meh

lucid beacon
#

maybe shazzrah when stuff calms down later

spark raptor
#

Its best against priest and druid tbh. High armor targets id just rupture instead

acoustic heath
#

tru aswell

spark raptor
#

Deutsche party in ravenholdt lul

lucid beacon
#

i can't decide if i should go orc or undead

acoustic heath
#

I gonna go orc

#

nice for both pve and pvp

spark raptor

Busty human rogue only way to go

lucid beacon
#

yeah think so. i mean undead is amazing for world pvp but orc is just too good

acoustic heath
#

yea

spark raptor
#

Ud is for giga casual pvpers with no engineering

acoustic heath
#

the orc stun resist is insane

lucid beacon
#

true

#

engineering is insane

acoustic heath
#

yea that aswell

lucid beacon
#

also not sure if i should go sword or daggerspec for leveling

acoustic heath
#

swords

#

it's just better

#

you don't have to get behind the target

#

swords are easy to get aswell

spark raptor
#

Theres a funky ambush build thats good at low lvls but never did higher lvls with it

acoustic heath
#

if you level to 60 in a group maybe dagger is better

spark raptor
#

It might be viable.

lucid beacon
#

probably yeah. is pvp'ing okay with swords?

spark raptor
#

Yes

acoustic heath
#

yea

spark raptor
#

Take improved sprint and youre good

lucid beacon
#

i will !

#

not going into sub tree though right?

#

prolly just combat/assa

fallen panther

I'll probably go human priest and heal those two rogues you don't see that are about to counter gank you, nefy

lucid beacon
fallen panther
acoustic heath
#

try me uni

#

yea cherubii

spark raptor
#

Id change a few things in that spec

acoustic heath
#

that's the bis build for leveling tho

spark raptor
#

Lethality is super overrated while leveling, you wont crit much

lucid beacon
#

well you spec into it pretty late i guess

acoustic heath
#

yea you do

#

you finish the combat tree first

spark raptor
#

"BiS"

acoustic heath
#

I mean most rogues ran that on private servers

#

what else would you run?

spark raptor
#

Most players just play what they see in a guide and assume its right

acoustic heath
#

People who don't follow guides are usually bad tho nefyshrug

spark raptor
#

Yee usually

acoustic heath
#

what else would you spec?

spark raptor
#

But low gear situations are different

acoustic heath
#

lethality always seemed good back in the day

#

no reason not to spec it imo

#

I don't see anything that is better

lucid beacon
#

would you advice going the hemo build at early 60 if you want to pvp?

spark raptor
#

Hows that talent in assa first row called that gives youv40% crit after killing sth

acoustic heath
#

remorseless attacks

vocal hornet
#

@spark raptor funny. I saw a guide with list of bis dps. had combat last. and shadow priest ele shm top tier.

Do I have to go enchanting as priest? A wand seems mandatory and where else to get a strong one that reliably monkahmm

spark raptor
#

Yeah thats a good one.

#

Sword spec is great too

#

fury was on the bottom row as well.

#

I think they were taking into account dungeon 5man cleave. like wut

i think that guy was either troll or trash

when 2 of the toptier dps are last 😄

does anyone know if the murder talent is going to work in classic? i see conflicting info on vanilla vs private vs classic.

acoustic heath
#

wdym going to work?

pallid delta
#

apparently people say murder was bugged in vanilla

#

a lot of mobs didnt have types even though they were obviously dragon/beast etc

acoustic heath
#

I mean if it doesn't have the type it won't work

pallid delta
#

right, but are the mobs fixed in classic?

spark raptor
#

Dont get murder for leveling

acoustic heath
#

no idea if they fixed that

#

never heared of that bug either

pallid delta
#

was not planning on it, but it is nice for raiding

#

bwl was apparently an issue with dragonkin and beast not being actually named

#

which is a huge chunk of that raid

acoustic heath
#

was that bug fixed in vanilla?

#

at some point

pallid delta
#

i have no idea at all, but they are fixing other bugs with pets i do believe. things that should have been fixed but were not. i was hoping that this was one of the issues being fixed

#

Ohh, this is handy. Thanks!

ruby bridge
#

doesn't the twitch client support classic?

neat sun
#

Does it? I need to re-install the client. Every time I click on Mods it's just a blank white screen for me

#

I tried looking last night and discovered that

#

Looks like TSM updated, which is nice... Going to suck having to manually scan the AHs though

#

All I really need to get started is TukUI/ElvUI and a nice Quest addon

carmine idol
#

@ruby bridge I have heard from a few people that twitch app doesn't update classic addons properly, so I went back to doing it manually

#

Like I heard it sometimes replaces it with the retail version

neat sun
#

Also good to know...

marsh wyvern
#

I got questie ATM but still looking

#

Questhelper is another

#

NVM about quest helper it was scraped and put into questie 🤣

neat sun
#

Supposedly allyroute is good

#

If you're going Alliance

#

Seeing people on /r/wowclassic talk like they can get to SM as Alliance in 20 minutes is fucking hilarious.

#

Doesn't matter how fast I get there... We can't pull until the dude who's died 12 times gets here

#

Between that nonsense and the people flipping their shit about the LFG addon... Holy fuck. People need a real problem in their lives if this is what they are upset about.

tough pilot
#

Allyroute seems really good.

loud tree
#

yeah, nice and simple

tough pilot
#

I kinda feel bad for Joana, man tried to corner the market last second for guides by making it subscription based and everyone already going to other sites that basically just copy his route. Lmao

#

Kinda hard to put a price on a guide that's been out for as long as it has. 5 bucks or not just hard to justify it.

neat sun
#

I think the big issue for Joana is that he tried to charge at the last second, and it's subscription based. He could have added a quick little, "Hey, like the guide? I spent a lot of time working on this so if you'd like to donate a few bucks, click here"

#

Or, just charged $1 for it

#

I'm not even going Horde, but I'd have thrown $1 at him just for the guide.

#

But it's classic, you're suppose to not have that kind of addon

#

otherwise it would defeat the purpose of

#

erm classic

neat sun
#

Oh really?

#

There was an addon that was literally a fishing bot

#

So, I should have bots that are built as addons?

signal ember
#

There was guide back then but I didn't use it as much

#

Pretty sure anything related to bot is against ToS

neat sun
#

And yet with the Vanilla Addon API, it was fully functional

#

And all of it was using code that Blizzard allowed you to

#

There were LFG addons in Classic. Were they are good as one that's built now? No. People have years of experience building addons now.

#

I'd be willing to bet a large portion of people who complain about "#nochanges" also think that anyone not using raider.io or whatever it is have no business running Mythics

blissful locust
#

@neat sun mate, classicwow is a shithole you shit never visit

#

there are people that went mad because corpses are not on the ground for hours anymore

neat sun
#

My favorite "Vanilla Experience" is being able to consume player corpses and force them to rez at the spirit healer

#

If that's not in the game, we riot

#

You'll find Crimson Whelps in the Wetlands. You'll want to be level 26+ to kill them efficiently, but higher is better for speed. They can drop the Tiny Crimson Whelpling pet!

#

Evidently pet battles are in Classic? lol

loud tree
#

no battles, just pets

neat sun
#

Oh fuck... That was a thing, wasn't it

#

I forgot about the chicken egg and shit

loud tree
#

digusting oozeling gonna be farmed hard

neat sun
#

I really need to get my plan together. Once I realized I was playing alone I stopped putting together my own plans for what I'm doing.

drowsy phoenix
#

why are pets even important in classic

neat sun
#

They aren't important in the least

#

They are literally just little pets that follow you around

fair carbon
#

So how are people setting up their addons already? I should probably do that in preparation

neat sun
#

I completely forgot about them - saw that on a gold making guide and was laughing

loud tree
#

there was a little wolf pet that did 1 dmg and was great for spell pushback. also disgusting oozeling can apparently push a debuff off or something. not sure if either of those will be a thing.

neat sun
#

But yeah, you can go /chicken at a chicken and eventually it craps out an egg

#

I totally forgot about that... lol

dusk crystal
#

not gonna bother with addons a lot tbh till higher level, plenty of time for that

neat sun
#

I'm just tossing in ElvUI

#

So I have the familiar feel to my bars

dusk crystal
#

just SUF and some stuff

#

bartender

fair carbon
#

Is ElvUI gonna have a built in swing timer?

#

Eh I guess I’ll find out when I actually see it

neat sun
#

Ohh, I don't know?

#

It's sad that min-maxxing is classic is going to be optimizing swing timers

#

lol

fair carbon
#

I mean it was before

drowsy phoenix
#

by that do you mean use ability right after auto attack?

fair carbon
#

Yes

neat sun
#

yup

#

You never want to break an autoattack for an ability unless you're energy capped - in which, you've made a mistake.

dusk crystal
#

sword spec procs

fair carbon
#

^ yep

neat sun
#

I'll probably just start with ElvUI, TSM, and AllyRoute and figure out the rest as I go

fair carbon
#

TomToms

neat sun
#

Not sure how much I'll need that...

fair carbon
#

My goal is to beat the sweaty devilsaur mafia

#

So I gotta be fast

neat sun
#

I have no problem buying the leather

#

I'll make gold faster than they will

civic crest
#

Can nightelfs actually enter stealth from shadowmeld?

neat sun
#

yes

#

Well

civic crest
#

Alright thanks

neat sun
#

You still have to cast stealth

fair carbon
#

But NE is a meme

neat sun
#

But, if stealth is on cooldown, you can shadowmeld, then stealth when it's up

civic crest
#

Say a mage is hitting me I can shadowmeld and go stealth?

neat sun
#

you do - but you can't move

fair carbon
#

I mean

neat sun
#

And mages aoe

fair carbon
#

You have Vanish

civic crest
#

Yeah ofc

neat sun
#

So you'll get broken out immediately

civic crest
#

Just an example

neat sun
#

And if you're in combat, you can't use it.

#

So in your example - no

fair carbon
#

Vanish would be better in that scenario 10/10

civic crest
#

But it’ll break combat to right?

neat sun
#

Pretty sure you can't use it in combat

#

But I haven't tried in 13 years

civic crest
#

Yeah ofc but vanish is a rather long cd

#

You can’t shadowmeld in combat?

neat sun
#

I don't think so? lemme check

#
Cannot be used while shapeshifted
Stops auto-attack
Starts cooldown after aura fades
Can be used while sitting
Cannot be used in combat
Does not require shapeshift```
civic crest
#

Damn

neat sun
#
Wowhead

Activate to slip into the shadows, reducing the chance for enemies to detect your presence. Lasts until cancelled or upon moving. Night Elf Rogues and Druids with Shadowmeld are more difficult to detect while stealthed or prowling.

civic crest
#

Did not know that

fair carbon
#

Nelf’s best racial is that they do flips

neat sun
#

^

#

That feeling of hitting 3 or more flips in a row

dusk crystal
#

female orc for snoo snoo

fair carbon
#

pogu 3

neat sun
#

female tauren are the best racial in the game

fair carbon
#

The MEGA arms

ruby bridge
#

so, how hyped are we about classic?

fair carbon
dusk crystal
fair carbon
#

I am ready to slay some Alliance baddies

dusk crystal
#

ahh, STV

#

nothing personal, kid

fair carbon
#

You bet I’m ready to stalk Applejuicee in STV

#

@neat sun ok. tips and tricks on gold. I was a broke bitch as priest in vanilla. couldnt kill shit, swapped from shadow to holy too much for my own bank. anyway. how do I get rich this time around?

fair carbon
#

Form a pyramid scheme

vocal hornet
#

thinking skinning/herbs as i go. and dump skinning later for something more useful

fair carbon
#

Mining/Skinning if you just wanna sell

#

Skinning LW if you want to bank off Devilsaur preraid BiS pieces

vocal hornet
#

will I need to wear those for MC?
