what are some good rogue leveling builds using daggersfor pvp?
lol
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.
Seems odd to level with daggers to begin with, but OK.
how much does respeccing cost
Scales
scales for each purchase yeah?
Yeah I think the first is it free or under 10s.
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
TBC had the BS BSing patterns.
There are some other maces in Vanilla though.
this exists
Probably not what you meant.
Though still very good wtf is that 8 seconds buuuullshit
is very good
BIS
not better than the T.Bros hammer, but w/e
was looking at shadowpanther, and it has lots of good info. Did you know he assigns Wotf to be worth 60 agi.
Rogues can't use axes > _>
until Wrath
ah.

I was holy priest until mid nax.
Makes sense.
Benediction 
I had to murder a man to get that red scale trinket
I had to murder someone to go Enhancement
I hard swapped to horde enhance after my very very sad exit in naxx.
Best part about classic. I actually get to play Horde
I get to play as one of the BONE PEOPLE
How would a rogue aoe without bladeflurry? Tab ruptures?
2min CD for 15 sec seems pretty weak compared to warrior cleave.
No.
Cleave whirlwind sweeping strikes. That's a lot of stuff. I assume dps warriors peeled a lot and died.
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.
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.
I have read some really weird guides today
one said that shadow was top tier pve dps.
🚪
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.
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
Ye
vigor is for those mad pvp combos xd
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
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
orc racial is insane for pvp as well. 25% stunresist.
I might go for it just for that but i wanted to hear some opinions thx guys
also reminder you cant trinket stuns as a rogue, so its a big game changer

Around there ye.
How far behind was it b4 that
Dunno.
Don't have HARD numbers, yaknow?
It's an issue with energy, dmg, crit ratings, etc.
fair enough
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.
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
Yes.
combat swords to level
can reroll daggers later for pvp, or stay combat swords for pve
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
For leveling it's a struggle unless you wanna SS with daggers, which is fine, but the damage range is rough.
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
You smash with what you get.
Looks like that.
You basically want a weapon with your LEVEL as the bottom of the damage range.
can you link the original? @plucky nymph

Leveling, scroll doooooooooooooown

Mut being target isn't a poor decision, its play into assassin theme
Course it does, but it's BAD for leveling.
Just 2 shot
It's a poor decision on YOUR part.

My brother has claimed rogue. I might have to go priest :(
Anyone know if the guards in classic are tauntable by chance?
depending on the guards you're not gonna have room to taunt with the snap kick stunlock

Anyone try frontstabbing on live classic beta?
frontstabbing doesn't work on live
Heard people got it to work but just not consistantly. Didn't try personally.
oh really? Thought the already said it didn't work when people tried it on the first demo
Im going to look more into it. I'd be suprised if it works tbh.
yea me too
It didn't work in vanilla back in the day right?
so it shouldn't work now
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
yea exactly that's the info I read up on aswell
can't find any recent posts on it tho
or any info
Guess it will just be combat swords then 
Stuff just updates much better on live. Hamstring kiting was awful as well.
Thankfully you don't have to kite with the accurate health regen

just laugh at the idiots
hey guys has anyone installed the arctium sandbox client to install addons
or test addons?
im having trouble
"Wait, I can't pay GMs for thunderfury? Fuck this noise"
"PvP Rogues will be running "Rampant" during Phase1 because players will not have access to their class Insignia Trinket"
could anyone tell me what is this Rampant thing?
Just means they will gank and there's nothing you can do about it
NE players: are you a desolace dude or a wetlands wimp
Ne's 
when did the Stun DR start? couldnt you chain stun players for days in vanilla?
what professions are people thinking of taking?
Skinning and herbing
They don't take much time while leveling and produce good money for mount
Swapping to engineer at end game. Cause it's a must.
Lol I've seen people on private servers like "the smart people will continue playing here instead of paying Blizzard"
after a bit might switch to engineering tho
Or worse not being able to make a token on retail lmao
Engineering just too good. If you have any aspirations for pvp you have to do it. Isn't even a debate.

world first in a 15 yr old video game
still gonna be interesting to see where they optimize ect
yeah, it'll be fun.
real discussion point: et cetera or et cetera
etc.
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
the race will be "who gets the required fire resist gear first"
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
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.
4 is fast
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.
Depends
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.
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.
pServers tend to have inflated experience values.
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)
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 ?
WoW Icon update.png Patch 1.3.0 (2005-03-07): Added.
Some servers granted 10-20% more experience while not advertising the leveling experience as such.
I think they'll be in there at launch?
i remember them being added when i was running mauradon.
Summoning Stones will never be in Classic.
What
classic is 1.12 isnt it
Meeting Stones, the summoning component of them, were added in 2.0+
Gotta have a warlock in the friend group
When they made changes to the LFG System the stones were used to get people to the dungeon, before just TPing everyone into the iunstance.
I have a group of IRL friends I will be playing with and I think they will hold me back :(
If we will get the group queueing system, I don't know, but it's fine if we do > _>
I dont think people would use it anyways
It was one of those in-between solutions and is good for finding your 3rd+ members.
/join lookingforgroup
I wonder what addon is going to be released that is going to piss everyone off
VanillaIO lol
All of them, it seems.
and /LFG isn't a listing, just gimme a list to poke at to find a group.
Much easier than getting 20000000 whispers.
I don't remember how the lfg thing worked
My strategy was to jus type /who class level etc and politely ask if they would please like to fill x role in x dungeon
there any classic weakauras around yet? or would modern WAs work at all? but some of them probably have a lot of unneeded stuff thats in BFA lol
Yeah sure.
I saw someone with WA already
i didnt check if wago has a classic section yet so
_ >
Does WA work the same on classic as it does retail? All the same features etc?
Yes.
Things haven't really changed much since Vanilla and Power Auras.
Other than losing functionality.
So who's not maining a rogue?
WoW Classic release: 5 days 23 hours 2 minutes 15 seconds
@wind lantern yah, MC week 1 just takes 35ish no lifers, plus a few people (mages) farming waterlord rep. Don't even need to be 60, or have great gear. Won't be a week 1 on every server, but we will see a few for sure.
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?
Frontstabbing isn't a thing last I saw.
Swords/Maces/etc. the entire way, regardless of group.
Front stab is a private server thing. Backstabbing from the front would literally make no sense
Frontstab, again, just confirming for him not in classic
Theres gonna be a huge influx of noobs in clasic
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
I just hope the noobs make it to the contested zones so i can gank/protect them
In the lead up to the launch on August 27th, we wanted to let you all know that TradeSkillMaster 4 will be available and functioning in WoW Classic! As of version 4.8 of TSM, the addon will load in-game for Classic just as it does for Retail. You may need to select the option...
btw
i have no doubt a lot of noobs will fall in love, and a lot of them will get sick of the vanilla style pretty fast

o _O huh
dont think we beat locks unless im mistaken
you do if youre undead
Yeah undead is best bet, and even then its rough matchup
swords or daggers
id imagine daggers.
Not SL locks until later.
im trying to decide whether i should play warlock or rogue
im thinking warlock since ive never mained one
Yup you don't 2 shot SL locks, and even when we get better daggers and gear, Locks are scaling hard as hell, if not harder than rogues. not an easy matchup.

@wind lantern Stop spamming
i was surprised to see the classic talent calculators for 1.12 have premed as the top subtelty talent. I thought 1.12 had cloak of shadows?
do i remember wrong?
Pretty sure clos didn't come out until bc or wrath
it was a 41pt talent first
right before tbc
i just can't remember how long 1.12 ran before tbc
was there a 1.13?
ugh sad
Also no sstep
you know what, that must have been like RIGHT when tbc was about to launch
it was with shadowstep
yeah ok i remember better now
That woulda been a bc prelaunch patch if anything
sounds right. i mis-remembered apparently
cloak had super short CD too
is there a guide on what trainer skills to buy to save as much gold as possible?

WoW Classic release: 5 days 5 hours 44 minutes 56 seconds
Man, I'm so fucking ready for Classic..
This is the first gaming-related thing I've been excited about in 2-3 years
i don't think i've been this excited about a game since...
this same e xact game maybe?
i was unaware of wow, got trial from my friend in may or june 2005
lmao, just played cs back then
so i am more excited now XD
😄
I worked at Best Buy and we got a bunch of beta codes to give out
We instead, used them
I'd say I was most excited for TBC. It's still, by far, my favorite expansion.
I'm hoping for a TBC server last next year
itll be 2 years before BC atleast
maybe
anyone know if the deathstalkers have an official classic server?
TBC and Wrath was nice expan, even tho wrath started to go toward to casual route.
"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..
!classic
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
yaBigBaby
yeah thats def not fun lmao
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.
ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhdunnoaboutthat
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.
Yeah, getting through Naxx is a fucking cakewalk now
All it ever was and is, is gear checks.
Naxx in Classic is about LFR difficulty, maybe normal, of a modern raid
BUT, at the time, most people had never played an MMO and EVERYTHING was new to them
Right, at the time it def was more challenging, i 100% agree.
"Wait, this boss has 3 mechanics? WTF that's impossible"
LOL
it was definitely not easy at the time, pointless to compare current wow in any way
:3
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.
Yeah was only comparing since the guy brought up where the game became casual routed.
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
Naxx1 and LFR difficulty? C'mon now. That's just being silly.
Exactly.
razorgore will still surprise many raids
Please do note that when we had MC anniversary people still failed miserably.
guaranteed
I dont think its silly at all.
@sterile pond I know dude - I wound up taking over the MC raid and leading it in chat
i think you're right too, it will def catch guilds off guard but once again so many outlets of information.
I was the only one in my raid who had done it before
one quick youtube swipe and you have everything you could ever need.
its just a huge step up in difficulty from MC for a first boss
MC wasn't even hard at the end of classic.
Like we're spoiled in this day and age with information compared to back then.
we've learned from mistakes.
MC was easy always if you werent braindead
Gonna be hard to repeat a lot of mistakes if your guild prepares.
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
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.
Eh, we still didn't take the bad classes to Naxx.
If you know that sin will never be good. You don't play it.
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
There wasnt much of a rotation.
so will good builds
Not saying it'll be good - I'm saying the person playing it will be better
We you 12 in vanilla?
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
If they were hard for a 20 yr old you might have been 12.
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...
You said hard, I said hard.
Threatwjll surprise a lot of people.
I mean people can't even play on skittish weeks properly, cant imagine how its gonna be in classic lmao.

aoe taunt so i can do mega aoe plx
etc.
I just feel bad for all of the Deadmines groups that fail because they think Pallies can tank
pala tanks are sad, no matter how hard you try a keyboard turning warrior is better
One of our guys has a boner for pally tank. So we are building around it for lolz.
Like you said. Better players right.
I just think its greedy to play pally tank personally.
Pally Tank isn't even possible until like level 25 or something anyway
Sure.
And even then - it's not "good" until the 50s
but if you have buds that wanna play around it, then all power to ya
Paladin Tanks are pretty dumb in some places, but it's more about their damage than their tankiness at that oint.
this is also why TBC > any exp 😉
^
balance became a thing
oh for sure
they're def able to be pulled off but need a lot of specific gear if i recall.
Prot pally getting Disc PI and Misdirect
It woulda been boring in a normal build probably.
im pretty rock brain when it comes to pallys tho, kinda wanna make one eventually down the road tho.
Pallies are the best power levelers in the game
I had one. Pulling 50x undead and swarming them into a crypt.
Level 60 Pally can boost you from around 15 to 50 in no time.
thats nutty
consecration + ret aura + shield spike
Trying to decide my role for project prot. Rogue has vanish. But fury has offtaunt if shit goes sideways.
Frost can Nova peeled trash.
Fury is the highest dps in vanilla if I remember correctly
Warrior is very versatile in the DPS spot.
BUT, you'll spend 1/3 of your time tanking
Fury has the highest potential at the end of the expansion but their DPS is not actionable.
That's fine. Prot wants thunderfury tbh.
and is therefor useless.
gotcha
I'm just after lols
ignites pog
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
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.
Yes SP's too! maybe even balance druid!
We were so bad. We had 6 locks that had curse of Doom on onyxia.
love balance even tho its meme
Back at 8debuffs.
lol
Waiting for that to pop
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
Like I said. Leveling took so fucking long. People just kept what they made.
Yeah once that TBC server comes, ill be set as far as WoW goes.
Can retire then lol.
So if nothing else I do support people trying something different.
Just don't get pissy when we were right 15 years ago.
I don't care if people play fuck-off builds as long as they actually try to maximize it.
@plucky nymph Does the wise player go fury, knowing prot will need help with swaps.
yeah some guilds are ok with meme builds and others arent. i know the guild im in, isn't allowing meme specs.
I can dance and hot swap taunts.
I think if you are a warrior you have options.
Damn!
You have shield wall taunt weapon swap to cheese some stuff.
Can OT drakes in BWL/etc.
shazzrah for 5 hour queues 
My goal is clearing UBRS and mc probably.
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
Just don't have time to try hard.
Will be fine.
Get some Thorium Brotherhood Rep. as you might have to OT Rag.
and will need the FR + STA from their pieces.
Wanted rogue. But I feel that our stubborn project prot won't give up.
Rogue is not my best slot to assist
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.
Is feint classic?
tbf, i always thought threat is more a dps then a tank mechanic
It's very much both.
Just not sure that we had feint for 1.12 is all.
As taunt works differently in Vanilla than in TBC even IIRC.
It does
dps are the guys that need too watch out and stop doing stuff/use threat reducing abilitys
Unless you're a rogue
and it's minus ~800 threat.
Oh, I'm #2 on threat? Okay... vanishes
Which is almost 2x your DPS.
theres gonna be that dude still manages to pull aggro and die as rogue
100%
oh didnt know i had vanish xd
High dps with vanish and feint is prob better than a dead fury warrior.
My biggest "man I can't fucking wait!" is when I forget to turn taunt off in a 5man
Correct.
That and, "Oops, I accidently pulled 2/3 of LBRS with a multishot"
There's a very good reason Rogues get -Threat on tier sets.
even -Threat to Finishers o _O
LBRS, where you skp the first boss and then drop down and tag him on the way out
Yeah that's the thing.
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
Eh if you are a Rogue or Mage you can farm that gold pretty fast.
yup
Even running SM you get like ~40 gold per hour
I'll be doing things like that just to change it up.
i was so poor back then even tho i found a couple boe epics
I wasn't
maybe it was the warrior repairs
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 😕
Since it's not as competitive, maybe it's just fun this time.
Yeah should be much more casual this time around.
Minus the critical roles on some encounters.
Problem is, I legit love rogues
Lock is amazing for PvP
actually
m'eh for PvE
fuk soul shard farming
^
And, warlocks are literally, "Put your curse on then hit shadowbolt"
That's your rotation
If you're going to do that you might as well be a ret pally
searing pain when you wanna test your tank
warlocks get to tank an emp, thats cool
Since classic is coming Monday for NA, does that mean there will be a reset like 14 hours after launch?

WoW Classic release: 5 days 0 hours 35 minutes 46 seconds
So....yeah?
Nvm just realized those resets are only like 15 min anyways. And they'll probably have to reset at random times at first
Blizz already said that Classic wouldn't be included in the Tuesday morning maintenance after release in the AMA yesterday

Tfw one of my guildies wants to be RL and GM. I’m trying to warn him but he won’t listen 
that's too much for any one man
I think I wanna GM a social guild tbh
raids are cool and all and that can still be done but I wanna have a good time with people
lmao multi-GM'ing
Idk dude
Like I mentioned from the start that I’m interested. I’m playing classic>retail any day. And I have 2 straight weeks of nothing going on right when it releases
So I’m gonna be powerleveling to the max
I wanna chill level
Chill leveling 
Fastly leveling whilst chill


gonna fast level with my duo partner while we chill 
double chill 
big chill 
/wave at hordies while leveling

Will we be able to sap people for a minute again?!?!? 😂
I'm excited I'm going on a Normal server...
Roaming PvP is fun but there's nothing worse than being ganked over and over in STV when you don't have long to play
guys whats the best way to have the gold for mount ready at 40?
until you get ganked while ganking other people
@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?
no just vendor
No, vendor
oh really? 😮
Sounds like ez moneyz
Yeah everyone will run skinning so youll be unable to sell it
Might be worth to save "hides" on a bank alt
Esp on high lvls, rugged hide is pretty valueable and is relevant throughout vanilla
sounds good. i want to switch to engineering on 60 prolly
You need it for pre bis healer cloak, and i think leather classes need em for T3
this guide also mentions what skills to buy
engineering is bae :3
in order to save money
thanks nefy
i'll prolly play on a pvp server can't wait to play open world pvp on rogue 😄
na or eu? 
Im on the edge regarding expose. Its good in pvp sometimes. But most ppl wont use it
EU
nah I rather not buy it to save money tbh 😁
expose is good against warrior/pally/priest right?
Fair enough
might go on a german server and shazzrah seems overpopulated as fk.. i'm not to keen on those 5h+ queues
maybe shazzrah when stuff calms down later
Its best against priest and druid tbh. High armor targets id just rupture instead
tru aswell
Deutsche party in ravenholdt lul
Busty human rogue only way to go
yeah think so. i mean undead is amazing for world pvp but orc is just too good
yea
Ud is for giga casual pvpers with no engineering
the orc stun resist is insane
yea that aswell
also not sure if i should go sword or daggerspec for leveling
swords
it's just better
you don't have to get behind the target
swords are easy to get aswell
Theres a funky ambush build thats good at low lvls but never did higher lvls with it
if you level to 60 in a group maybe dagger is better
It might be viable.
probably yeah. is pvp'ing okay with swords?
Yes
yea
Take improved sprint and youre good
I'll probably go human priest and heal those two rogues you don't see that are about to counter gank you, nefy

Id change a few things in that spec
that's the bis build for leveling tho
Lethality is super overrated while leveling, you wont crit much
well you spec into it pretty late i guess
"BiS"
Most players just play what they see in a guide and assume its right
People who don't follow guides are usually bad tho 
Yee usually
what else would you spec?
But low gear situations are different
lethality always seemed good back in the day
no reason not to spec it imo
I don't see anything that is better
would you advice going the hemo build at early 60 if you want to pvp?
Hows that talent in assa first row called that gives youv40% crit after killing sth
remorseless attacks
@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 
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
guide*
when 2 of the toptier dps are last 😄
I mean if you pick a garbage source for a guide 
@fallen panther if youre alliance, just do darkshore asap, theres a good wand from a q there
what was that addon in classic that told you when an enemy player used abilities like Cooldowns or CCs etc?
ah nice because i saw a lot of people in youtube pvp vids using it
yea that addon was super nice
@spark raptor fair point. I might go horde and join nefy. Actually not sure yet
Just get a weakaura
does anyone know if the murder talent is going to work in classic? i see conflicting info on vanilla vs private vs classic.
wdym going to work?
apparently people say murder was bugged in vanilla
a lot of mobs didnt have types even though they were obviously dragon/beast etc
I mean if it doesn't have the type it won't work
right, but are the mobs fixed in classic?
Dont get murder for leveling
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
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
all good, thanks for the info all

Pretty sure it is. Free moneys basically. Plus you get reagents for your rogue shenanigans
if you want to have a shot at doing lockpicking while leveling you should do it
@lucid beacon Mount money is as simple as, "Sell everything you can, only pick up spells/abilities you're actually using, and don't be afraid to grind for a level or two."
Pick pocket, lockpick, etc. Use everything to your advantage.
I would highly recommend pick pocketing @lucid beacon
Gotta get used to unpatched stealth been getting feels for it on a bc pserver just to prep my feels for the feels I'm ultimately going to feel and it is classic af even tho it's a bc pserver don't hate me pls
Pickpocketing every humaniod involved in quests etc is definitely worth the $$
can you macro pickpocket to sap like I do on live?
or is everything a bit slower
How are you guys getting addons set up for classic?
Yeah, but how do you know what works?
You can't just throw modern addons in there, can you?
handynotes argus for classic
100%
@neat sun willitclassic.com
Ohh, this is handy. Thanks!
doesn't the twitch client support classic?
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
@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
Also good to know...
I got questie ATM but still looking
Questhelper is another
NVM about quest helper it was scraped and put into questie 🤣
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.
Allyroute seems really good.
yeah, nice and simple
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.
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
Oh really?
There was an addon that was literally a fishing bot
So, I should have bots that are built as addons?
There was guide back then but I didn't use it as much
Pretty sure anything related to bot is against ToS
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
@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
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
no battles, just pets
digusting oozeling gonna be farmed hard
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.
why are pets even important in classic
They aren't important in the least
They are literally just little pets that follow you around
So how are people setting up their addons already? I should probably do that in preparation
I completely forgot about them - saw that on a gold making guide and was laughing
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.
But yeah, you can go /chicken at a chicken and eventually it craps out an egg
I totally forgot about that... lol
not gonna bother with addons a lot tbh till higher level, plenty of time for that
Is ElvUI gonna have a built in swing timer?
Eh I guess I’ll find out when I actually see it
Ohh, I don't know?
It's sad that min-maxxing is classic is going to be optimizing swing timers
lol
I mean it was before
by that do you mean use ability right after auto attack?
Yes
yup
You never want to break an autoattack for an ability unless you're energy capped - in which, you've made a mistake.
sword spec procs
^ yep
I'll probably just start with ElvUI, TSM, and AllyRoute and figure out the rest as I go
TomToms
Not sure how much I'll need that...
Can nightelfs actually enter stealth from shadowmeld?
Alright thanks
You still have to cast stealth
But, if stealth is on cooldown, you can shadowmeld, then stealth when it's up
Say a mage is hitting me I can shadowmeld and go stealth?
you do - but you can't move
I mean
And mages aoe
You have Vanish
Yeah ofc
So you'll get broken out immediately
Just an example
Vanish would be better in that scenario 10/10
But it’ll break combat to right?
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```
Damn
According to https://classic.wowhead.com/spell=20580/shadowmeld
Did not know that
Nelf’s best racial is that they do flips
female orc for snoo snoo
3
female tauren are the best racial in the game
The MEGA arms
so, how hyped are we about classic?


I am ready to slay some Alliance baddies
@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?
Form a pyramid scheme
thinking skinning/herbs as i go. and dump skinning later for something more useful
Mining/Skinning if you just wanna sell
Skinning LW if you want to bank off Devilsaur preraid BiS pieces
will I need to wear those for MC?

getting close lads
