Imagine getting edgemaster when leveling
You'll basically get your 100% mount at that moment
And more
dunno if I wanted to sell that, especially on fresh server where gold amount is low
If a guild is hardcore, I assume they could pool together gold to buy one
Otherwise you would wait for a bit before selling
Are the legendaries not worth getting with an orc? Thunderfury/hand of rag
i mean thunderfury is mandatory MT weap
and you would never use any axe over it
hand of rag is a very good wep in p1 but isn't as good as BRE and falls off even more as the game goes on
Hand of Rag is a pvp meme weapon for ret pallies and enh shamans
by the time you actually get an eye of ragnaros to drop and do the 10k gold worth of farm for crafting, you'll have better weapons
eh if you're a warrior who wants to rank and eye of rag drops
hard to justify passing on it hoping a BRE drops
when it might never
We saw 1... 1 BrE. And that was after we were well into BWL but only went back for bindings / eyes

it's like someone looked at the BC LFG system
and thought
"how could we make this even MORE useless?"
BRE is bis but not like the other big weaps are shit
DEOI on orc in pvp hmm
lol did someone really make a lfg mod for classic?
Mm
i give it a few days before blizz breaks it
yea exactly
How viable is 2h hamstring spam?
Is it comparable to dw fury?
Depends
ye i wish the classic warrior discord went into more depth about that
DW scales better, but 2H is superior in the first 2 tiers with BiS
its super dependant on guild, kill time etc
no real way to get 305 skill with 2hs outside of racial traits ,yea?
There are items
except for OEB, no
Help me a bit which one is OEB?
obsidian edged blade
I believe there were some gauntlets , but I might be mistaken
They're only for 1HS
@woven torrent lmao. as if chat spam LFG was any different. enjoy lfg in /2 on high pop servers. dunno much about this addon in particular but it's not automated LFG. it's an attempt of making lfg a bit less shit in vanilla by having a separate interface
hope you're playing without any addons and on your 2004 potato and 17" CRT for that real vanilla feels
Of course. And if I haven't been running out of quests when I hit 55, it's not vanilla at all
This purist stuff are so annoying
Guys is Alchemy a viable choice for a warrior?
ok, define "viable"
because you want engi 100%
and the other slot is best used with a gathering prof
If engi is 100% how much is Alchemy? I understand that everybody wanna be engineers cause its very effective,but my friend is rolling Rogue and I am considering alternatives
So there is no way around it,I guess
Sorry Psilol, it was not my intention to come through as purist or fancy, I don’t mind if they enhance and fix a few known issues with vanilla wow. In fact, I think they should. I will however say that some of those grind-for-xp-as-there-are-no-more-quests-nights I had were some of the most rewarding gaming sessions had all together. Because goal oriented, magic and steady (but slow) progression.
Pursuing the original vanilla experience is totally understandable. But some people take it too far. We dont have to use ventrilo or run the game on a pedium 4 cpu
The reason I wanna play classic is that its way more difficult than retail, so I totally get your point
I've seen some of the threads on official forums as well. I don't know, why not just, let a server or two be "purist", and then a few more 'enhanced' vanilla servers. Problem solved, right? But yeah, it was more difficult back then. For a while I thought it was I who had gotten better, but nah. Vanilla was a harder game.

@gleaming karma They need to optimize their boar killing time fam.
First time I saw that, my parents were watching it with us and my mom flipped out.
Maybe it got nuked
actually impressed that this SP episode got so many people to WoW. heard that more than once now
@gleaming karma i fixed it

external emotes in this channel when

Yeah that episode got me into WoW as well. We drove to the BX right after watching it to pick up two copies of wow for me and my sis.
I loved that episode.
Then when I was playing the stress test and saw all of the different abilities, I was so excited because I remember them from that episode.
"Kenny, I'm going to cast Mocking Blow".
That was one of the better ones I remembered.
That quote may be completely incorrect, but Cartman mentioned something about Mocking Blow.
do i prefer the ww axe o sword while lvling as arms?
What race are you gonna play?
human most likely
Sword then
thx
always Axe as you shouldn't be fighting +3 level mobs when leveling as Warrior
any good guides for warrior in classic?
not yet afaik
@wild elk there is a few discords with guides, macros and other stuff around.
Skarm's discord and "Fight club" to name two.
not really guides tho (yet). but plenty of good information to make your own conclusions.
@crimson jay there is multiple stream vods and stuff that you can use as a guide if you have a brain. 😄
@woven torrent 😦
I prefer relying on actual data which is available than some 2nd or 3rd hand (mis)guides or youtubers. very few good ones around, loads of shit.
Sure sure, but as for classic we already know pretty much everything.
The first draft of "shit tips that only worked on private servers due to wrong server values" have been removed.
no pepeLaugh emote allowed here, sadly
Best discord has been Fight Club. A lot of the theorycrafting has been going on there, tracked via git hub: https://github.com/magey/classic-warrior/projects/1
The wiki on GH has things like the attack table, etc.
Recent update in the mechanics channel is stuff like:
* Extra attack multiproc works (a single attack procing multiple extra attacks like WF and Sword Spec.)
* Extra attack chain proc does not work with WF/Sword Spec (procing an extra attack off of an extra attack)
* Pummel procs WF and Sword Spec
* Shield Bash procs Sword Spec but not WF
* Sword Spec with a queued HS and instant attack gives the HS immediately just like WF
* Multiproc extra attacks (WF+Sword Spec) with Hamstring while having HS queued - you get the HS and another regular white hit
* Battle Shout on guardians does not work :feelsbadman:
* Chance on hit weapons: work with Bloodthirst, Sunder, don't work with Shield Bash / Shield Slam
based on log analysis. So pretty thorough, data-based.
@prisma silo If you're solo and trying ot level fast you should skip it altogether. If you can get help, or aren;t in a rush, go for it.
@alpine belfry please add this to the Classic Resources pin
http://classic.raidbots.com
You never played Vanilla did you?
Did I get wooshed
I was actually super excited to see a proper raidbots for classic
people used spreadsheets in vanilla to calculate dps
some classes went as far as like wotlk
I remember hunters using them
simming was pretty niche until cata and reforging
Isn't the WW axe pretty fucking sweet until you get to strath?
WW Axe to Executioner's if you get super lucky.
I'm sure a bunch of goblins are going to have stupidly unreasonable prices at first.
Traveling salesman?
Nah, goblin is just a term for auction house guys
can't sell really high on release. hardcore crowd will have the gear from dungeon grinding and casual crowd won't have the money for it or way behind lvl
Won't stop them from trying.
^
8 days! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
All aboard the HYPETRAIN chuga chuga chuga choo choo!
Is WW axe "worth" the time investment at 30 when you get Bonebiter (as Alliance) at 34? I am planning to go pretty hard with healer friend and potentially even be slamming a fair amount of dungeons with full group and our plan was to only take the detour for SM quest at 34.
Depends if you wanna rush to 60 or take it slow. Also on launch you will most likely be able to fo the ww quest around 38
He's slamming a fair amount of dungeons so definitely not worth the time to get the WW axe, just get bonebiter
@steady palm
yeah, not worth efficiency-wise. get Corpsemaker at 29 if dungeon farming (or try to farm it with 1-2 friends) then Bonebiter/Ravager. WW Axe at 30 only if primarily soloing and having support of lvl 40-ish friend / multiboxing
IMO
yeah im trying to figure out
where my next weapon after WC staff
is even gonna come from
speedleveling solo there are VERY few options
You can also consider just not speedleveling 🤔
Hey, im gonna play classic with 2 mates, a mage and a heal, which spec should I go with? We can probably pull more mobs and got some good AOE.
Also I want to tank dungeons if needed
but speed leveling is fun 🤔
There are some weapon progression spreadsheets for both alliance and horde in the warrior classic discord
If you're doing some dungeons you can get strike of the hydra from bfd at 26
Corpsemaker at 29 from rfk
yeah i have my own spreadsheet i made
the issue is grinding a dungeon for a weapon isn't really feasible outside a group that is grinding dungeons
and even then is kinda iffy
The next weapon from quest i can see after the wc staff is all the way at lvl 30. Silver spade from a stv quest
you can get the quest at 30
not really practical to do it till late 30s
also the only mace i'd use in my levleing so i'd have to train it up to like 200 just for that
big investment
could try to snipe any cheap 2h weapon from AH if goblins aren‘t faster
like literally any that is better than current
doesn‘t have to be Executioners or other „bis“ stuff
but probably need 2nd account for that
If you're really speed levelling you should be ahead enough that ah won't be a great option
weapon is best investment tho. would rather skip some more abilities than going cheap on weapon. but just saying it could be an option if running 2 accounts with a goblin alt
@solar matrix https://classicwow.live/guides/42/1-60-shaman-leveling-guide-by-kargoz#2h_weapon_progression
👍
Ignore the shaman part. Lots of weapons other classes can use
Just not all
how is sulfuras for warriors actually
It's a very strong 2h for a good part of the game
You're not gonna be a 2h dps warrior though, but the pvp lulz would be good
I guess horde can technically do the 2h fury thing because of WF, but I don't know much about it tbh and I'm pretty sure normal fury is always better
And wouldnt
be better for raiding than sulf!
BRE was inflated on pservers because of the increased armor values right?
I'm not sure how that will translate into classic servers
Still a good proc tho, so its not useless
yeah sure, just saying the weapon dps difference will matter more on classic
yes Artunias
specifically on nostcore-derived servers; on another kind of core that shall not be named they had the right armor values
The existing PvP realms all now have either a Full or High population tag. With the potential for extended queues on the Full realms, and 10,000+ queues on Herod, we are opening two new PvP realms on Monday, August 19 at 6:00 p.m. PDT: Blaumeux – PvP – Pacific Time Zone...
it keeps happening
I suspect they will add atleast 2 more by launch.
Is there enough axes or are there axes usually the best weapon often enough to really get the benefit from the orc racial?
@idle shale 😡 ^^^^^^^
is that a spam server or just someone being a noob
yeh, I'll just delete the post for now doesn't seem like he's posted it anywhere else
@slender scarab yes. Is the short answer. Once you hit 29 corpsemaker is insane. Ww axe afterwards. Executioner's Calling or whatever is 23 str 1%hitwhich is probably the single best axe until 60.
How about post 60?
lots of pre-bis options at 60 with 1.12 itemization
one of the many drawbacks of going with 1.12 itemization instead of progressive is that AR's value is greatly diminished
i mean it's still really good, but you can get something almost as good for basically free
nope, in phase 1 too
Oh so orc is definitely the choice whether I want to play arms, fury, or prot. Damn. I was trying to convince myself somehow that I could play undead. 😒
I hope some good pve guilds pop up for horde. I hear many are going alliance. I kind of want to try alliance just since I haven’t for something new, but I’d feel like a traitor.
I have a discussion with a friend, he is convinced Tauren are the better choice for PvP, in my opinion Orc is the better race, so whats objectively the better race just for PvPß
Tauren have stomp but that orc stun resist is insane
I'd give the edge to orc
what abt leeway tho
2 extra yards is still significant but stun resist and fury are both way too good
if you're going to be the suboptimal faction it doesn't really matter what race you pick
just play what you want 🙂
Was there a classic warrior FAQ running around somewhere?
Looking for something similar to an infographic I happened to see around an orc warrior for leveling and gear related to upgrades as you level that I saw on Reddit.
nevermind I found it sorry
pls dont use that reddit one 🚯
@slender scarab uh no. You go trol lfor fury and prot lmfao
I mean, tauren could be for prot. BUT. TRoll has the most TPS and DPS BY FAR with DW. BF doesn't come close to comparing to Berserk
what
are you ok man
You know BF > Beserking, right?
troll best for tank, orc best for anything but MT
Indeed @distant saffron but the Orc is so good all around that there is no other choice imo
If I played Horde ,I'd play Orc fo sho
Big mooos
wouldn't orc be better due to axe spec and more threat
High end Trolls generate more threat early in the fight
Or something like that ,due to berserking
But Orcs have a steady bonus due to Axes (assuming you have an 1h axe)
@torpid sleet stop spreading misinformation.
I guess you wanna generate as much threat as possible as early as possible
You are full health and have cooldowns available , so reduced healing should be managable
Beserking isnt the one tha2t reduces healing
it just increases attack speed
thats bloodfury, the orc racial
Yep
why would you do something stupid like that
"Rotation" 
both are pretty calm and simple...
So are you guys going to skill Cooking/Fishing? I don't need to ask for F.Aid it is a given.
I will try to skill them as soon as possible, I believe they are a good source of consumables which can save money,and a good way to make money via AH,/2 trading
Cooking yes. Fishing no because fuck that (but do it if you don't mind this shit).
Fishing is a good money maker because people like me will pay absurde prices just so they don't have to fish themselves.
See what I mean?
I'll make my little brother fish 🤔
200 IQ plays
Is Tauren the best tank for PvE on Horde Side for survival or does any other race contend?
tauren is best for survival but threat is more important
and what would be a better choice for threat then, troll?
@crimson jay it's not misinformation. Berserking costs flat health and gives you immense TPS. BF is terrible in comparison for a tank. The only good talent orcs have for tanking is axe spec and most swords are better as you progress anyway. Why don't you not spread misinformation?
Yes
Troll is most TPS on Horde.
If you're gonna be an offtank orc might be worth it if your guild is gonna make you use Nightfall or Annihilator at times.
I mean, tauren could be for prot. BUT. TRoll has the most TPS and **DPS BY FAR with DW. BF doesn't come close to comparing to Berserk**
DPS part is fucking misinformation
Orc is best DPS
Troll only MT
Again, no? DW FUry>Anything else for warrior dps
@Cbegs uh no. You go trol lfor fury and prot lmfao
Berserk>BF
Provei t
Show me anywhere anyone recommending orc over troll
Because again
Most of the time you're using swords
literally the whole fucking warrior theorycrafting community
Especially at the start of the classic theres a pretty big lack of them in raiding
are you high
apparently you are
every video i've ever seen recommends berserking over blood fury and axe spec doesn't fix that gap
you are watching shitty videos then
Maybe. But I doubt anyone calls Skarm shitty lmao
I highly doubt that Skarm said that Trolls are best for Fury
Go watch his videos then lmao
I don't have to because data is clear on that
Apparently not because you've got 2 other people, besides me, who have disagreed and you haven't attacked them with such vitrol.
O R C
If you're that certain it's misinformation, tag an admin instead of going on a rampage or post something that backs up your side
Babyhoof told you exactly the same
I can't prove something that is wrong. you're saying Berserking > BF for DPS which is wrong.
baby hoof didn't say anything of BF vs Berserking at any point lmao
If you roll anything else than orc you are dishonoring the horde
6:02 AM] Babyhoof: You know BF > Beserking, right?
6:03 AM] Babyhoof: troll best for tank, orc best for anything but MT
Oh. I gotta scroll up, I started reading from your @
Orc best all around
That is still 3 to 3. Unless someone can throw a video from someone famous in the community, I'm gonna keep my opinion. THAT SAID. I wouldn't play a troll warrior because they look too janky and slim to be wearing plate.
And fashion > function
lmfao. not sure if trolling
Skarm Tank breaks down how to play a Protection Warrior in Classic WoW. Skarm's Discord: https://discord.gg/utzJC9u Skarm's Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/...
He goes into it on a sidenote during his talk about deep fury prot.
😃
Fury Prot =/ Fury
Sidenote
timestamp it
Man, it's almost like it was kind of related to the subject matter so he broached it.
anyway you are wrong
i mean maybe at BIS naxx gear levels
considering the 2 best weapons in the game are swords
correct
as was said before: Orc for everything but MT. if min-maxing obviously.
wouldnt racials be so minor that it really in the grand scheme not matter in terms of DPS gains
racials are pretty strong in vanilla
25% base AP Inc every 2 min when there are not that many dps cds in vanilla gives people an edge over classes without it.
Especially when 14 AP ~1 dps
orc racials are super strong overall, bloodfury + axe spec
What I can't remember is if it's base AP at lvl 60 with zero str or base AP with all strength gear but not counting any AP gear/stuff you have additionally
axe spec is worth basically 3% hit, -0.5% chance to be dodged, 30% increased glancing blow damage
blood fury is base AP including AP from strength from gear/buffs
was verified on the beta
does not include raw +AP from gear
Yeah so it's definitely op considering other warriors have recklessness which is a 30 min cd
yeah it's super strong
When you pop that during execute phase and wipe
since it scales with your gear/buffs
you can also time it with crusader proc(s)
or if you have UTB with its proc (300 strength)
since it also takes strength from buffs
Mhm
Since so much info out there is for private servers, is there a place where people are pooling the resources for classic? Every warrior I talk to seems to be completely sure of very different information for leveling
rending vs not rending
fury 2h till 40 or not
improved rend
etc.
that's not really cause of pservers
well fury /sit with pservers skewed meta a lot
you sit and then stand right before the hit lands, the way batching works with hit calculations means the game sees you as sitting when the attack is rolled and guarantees the crit but sees you as standing when the crit actually lands
so you have to have a swing timer for mobs ?
it's easy enough to do reliably with a swing timer that shows the tick on it but it's far more effort
yes
and even with those guaranteed enrages it's debatable if fury is better than arms
So guys will you be partying while lvl and if so what class/classes are you gonna party with ?
I am gonna party with a Rogue and hopefuly with a Pally as well
I'm going duo with a priest
I think I'll duo with a Rogue. I think my wife want's to play Rogue.
I will most likely duo with a mage, unless we change our minds at the last minute
Having a party is pretty important for a warrior
I will primarily solo but group up with the occasional random in the quest hub or for dungeons.
playing the hard way
get balls of steel
Got my starting prep for my warrior tank now - unsure if may help/assist someone. Got a pre-raid bis list with some options on it

As a human warrior how soon should to train 2h?
you'd want to train it probably as soon as you found a decent weapon for it
like maybe before level 15
Watch some of the original World of Warcraft developers play WoW® Classic together and share behind-the-scenes stories about the game that started a 15-year ...
hasn't been posted here yet
so enjoy
look how happy they are
what vill respeccing cost in classic? is arms the way to level as?
is this true "It varied by how many times you respec. IIRC 1g/5g/10g/15g/20g/etc till you hit 50g. Then it has a decay of 5g per week or month that it isn't used, forget which. Will only reduce down to a minimum of 15g however. Pick your talents wisely when levelling tldr. "
yeah, 50G cap. don't remember decay exactly but sth like you posted. Arms is generally preferred as leveling spec.
yeah, won't see respec cost decay by much or at all usually
has anyone done the math on the dps difference between orcs and trolls between having axes and not?
aight. not an issue to me tbf. gold is not that hard to come by
Since our last update, we have continued to see the community create new characters in preparation for the launch of WoW® Classic next week. During this process, we have seen a regular trend where characters keep being made on Full realms. Each of the Full realms has a LOT o...
You level 2h fury until 40 then respec arms. It seems like dungeon exp is buffed so prot spamming could be okay too
prot spamming wtf
thats actually the dumbest idea ive ever heard
spec arms for dungeons
??? You need the survivability badly early lol
bro
have you watched the beta at all?
mobs hit for nothing
you dont need 10 defense and 10% armor to survive them
jfc
you are an absolute pool of misinfo
@silk rivet Hey man how are you?
@torpid sleet don't spread misinformation. round 2
If that's the case you should be fury tanking. Way more damage pre-40.
🤔
Yes, sweeping strikes is bad ofc :pepega:
Jesus you make derilore seem clever
And can even get some good use out of the weapon specializations
I have no fucking idea how to write that word.
Sweeping strikes is level 30. You could be using enrage at that point. You're also missing out on 5% crit, and more rage generation. Which means more threat. Sweeping strikes and anger management alone doesnt beat out 5 rows of just better talents building up.
well, considering most of your damage in dungeons is TC and rend before you get SS/WW, im gonna say stop being silly
LMAO
You think rend is viable for anything except hamstring kiting. (Its barely good for that) get out of here
That ALSO only reinforces more rage generation being better for more TC. If you're not using heroic strike or slam during Sweeping Strikes what's the fucking point
ok this is some pepega shit right here
like someone literally built a DPR calculator
and you're just sprouting random shit and acting like you're clever
It's not random. This is well established shit. Rend is a waste of rage and gold unless you pvp or kite a stupid amount. I'm gonna go ahead and call the calculator wrong. Why? Because even on private servers people didn't use rend. Where it was typically buffed. They took the talent solely to get to impaling.
??? Are you high
Unless they changed it, if you're not going into the fury tree while tanking, you go impale for threat
ok this is some ultra pepega tier conversation
you understand what impale does, right?
it changes your crit modifer on YELLOWS from 200%
to 220%
- your damage while levelling is not mostly yellow attacks that can crit, its sunder/rend
- this is a tiny fucking upgrade
It matters SOLELY at end game because you're never gonna fucking use rend while you level
If you do you are wasting rage, and gold, by leveling it.
youll never use sunder at end game at all
who the fuck is talking about sunder
and you cant just call any sim that proves you wrong, "wrong"
A, you never posted the sim. B, again, who talked about sunder here
You can't even keep the conversation straight so you're bringing upo things I never mentioned lmao
well, you said you went impale, so i told you why you didnt
No. I didn't say I went imaple.
ugh
I said the only reason to get the rend TALENT is to get the imaple talent
there we go
Personally, the fury build is much more fun and viable for tanking, I'd do deep wounds at best otherwise.
if you wanna go fury then power to you
but stop spreading misinfo
you did this a day or 2 ago with the troll > orc for DPS
It's not misinformation, all of this, especially for tanking, is quite liberally covered in Skarms tanking guide
Granted, that's Private vs Retail Classic, but it's pretty fucking accurate for the most part still.
skarm is also a TANK, not a DPS
hes also not an expert on levelling, and hasnt spent weeks making a fucking DPR calculator
??? THIS ENTIRE DISCUSSION WAS LITEARLLY ABOUT TANKING WHILE LEVELING USING A DPS SPEC, BEING ARMS VS FURY
You have to be high lmfao
Being a tank at end game doesn't suddenly mean your strategy is vastly different beyond not DWIng at low levels like a fucking jackass
yes it literally does holy fuck
You still use the basic principles of what gives you most rage, what gives oyu most threat, how do you keep chaining that together smoothly
Sweeping strikes and REND of all things is not the way to do it
Lmao what the fuck am I reading
you mean this one?
which i linked after saying UGH when I copied the old dev link for it?
Even with that, exactly how many things are immune to -Bleeds-. Elementals, undead, mechanicals. Tell me, how many of those are in Westfall? Duskwood? Hell, but surely the most common higher level zones are better. YOu know. EPL. WPL. The Warpwood Quarter of Dire Maul. Scholo, strat, etc. Rend is a garbage mechanic that you will waste gold to train only to not even use it later for the majority of dungeons and raiding. And that chart had to start at -40- apparently. So you've got 39 levels where it's less useful than Overpower, and I'm willing to bet that number is -super- low pre-30 compared to HS with a good weapon.
This conversation has run its course here. Take it to dms if you feel you must continue
Apologies
damn this spreadsheet
Could a fully geared mage always kill you within 6 seconds even without one shot abilities up?
sometimes, but not always.
lots of variables here.
What spec? are you being opened on? got engineering for spell reflect/absorb? ect
Arms
I've just forgotten the level of imbalances in vanilla
I know sometimes mages could smash you with a huge pyroblast
But how often that was I forget
Ap pom pyro will one shot you but that's 2 CDs required, other builds could kill you quite quick with a bit of luck and setup on the mages behalf
Yeah but wont you be able to reflect it?
With trinket yes
Well yeah I was just clarifying what the guy asked! Lots of variables involved lol
my main concern is frost mages,how do you fight those?
FAP
Have 4 more friends
1v1 with warrior 😂
Use FAP and tryhard lul
can FAP be stolen?
Yo, I got a question. Is warrior tank in PVE endgame a viable choice for semi-hardcore/casual players? I always enjoyed tanking and I think I'm okay with leveling a warrior but there are like 1-3 days a week I can't play. Also I'm not into min-maxing absolutely everything, like I'd rather not go engineering if I can, just because it seems to be so much effort
Yes, its fine
Well, I got the impression that raid tanks live a hardcore life lol
engineering actually isn't so bad to level
other professions are much more costly/time consuming
should be no issue with the right guild where everyone is on a similar schedule. it's a linear game so as long as everyone's fine with doing MC week 4 or whatever you target goal is you won't miss out on anything and have the time to prepare
Thanks, that's helpful
nothing in vanilla is inherently "hardcore"
it's all a matter of what you want to put into the game
it's entirely possible to hit cap 4 months after launch and start raiding one day a week and see success
it doesn't really matter what you play in that regard
being a tank without a guild will always be a bit of a struggle though as it's hard to find guilds recruiting tanks
to be fair, in a rather casual guild that are not min-maxing and probably not stacking consumes etc. you can drool along as a pure DPS quite easily. MT is always a bit more dedicated as your guild wants to have the most loyal and reliable player(s) as MT. however, as MT you usually have full guild support so there's that.
as a tank you have free choice on dungeons groups too. so I guess it all evens out eventually
@round gate druid tanks are entirely viable and only slightly worse in late game
doubt they are as horde due to threat, but why tank as something subpar
maybe as OT 
The only tanks are Warriors🍆 do druid tiers have any def on 🤔
they're not as good, and early game they're straight up mana sponges. but later game they're completely viable and not shit, just behind warriors
you can technically make druids work, sure
but why go to the extra effort
for no gain
I seriously doubt there will be any lack of warriors in classic
even 4h will be solved by simply making the guild's dps warriors tank
havin druids spec feral/resto means that you can have them competently OT certain fights and heal others. It's a flexibility no other class really has
or even dps
there are very few raids where you need "x amount" of tanks, the number changes sometimes from boss to boss
and, as opposed to warrior, they can also heal
well yeah, you give the dps warriors def pieces anyway for 4h
even before naxx your dps warriors should have an offset
Do warriors gain rage from parries? Im having a hard time getting definitive answers on this
Parrying incoming damage, that is
I think you get 40% faster auto following or something
do you think it would work to level prot warri + ret via multiboxing? the idea would be big aoe pulls with imp. retribution aura and later blessing of sanctuary, using imp. rend on all targets while the pala keeps me alive.
mostly for farming on max level. same method as above works fine for making money with crappy gear in uldaman
Yeah that makes sense if its gold
Any thoughts on using the leather Blademaster Leggings (5 agi, 1% hit, 1% crit, 2% dodge) for pre-raid BiS? Prot Warrior, btw
Will classic support azeroth auto-pilot?
this is a forum in skyhold for classic discussion. does anyone have a more populous, dedicated wow-classic discussion forum/discord?

that a link from skyhold disc for classic to a discord for warriors in classic wow
just about the same thing
dioesnt answer the AAP question either
but ty
I used AAP on Public Test and it worked fine
It did state that it was out of date but if you force it to load it works
There was an update though on the 10th of august
I never played a warrior in classic so I'm gonna give it a try this time. I'm thinking of using this spec on my way to 60. What do you guys think? Anything I can improve?
My biggest concern is if I should put points in 2h specialization or max out parry. 5% extra damage feels just kinda worthless? Does it make a big difference?
https://classic.wowhead.com/talent-calc/warrior/053050213025100031-55000104005
5% is a very nice increase
https://i.imgur.com/5LVTXxw.png most people go with something like this
The 3% extra parry you're gonna get isn't gonna be big compared to just a 5% increase
Thanks!
@chrome pelican https://github.com/magey/classic-warrior/wiki/Parry-haste
there you go
Do warriors gain rage from parries? Im having a hard time getting definitive answers on this
Parrying incoming damage, that is
no
you get 75% rage on outgoing white parries, ~80% refund on outgoing yellow parries
but nothing on incoming
ty for the AAP information
Curseforge the go-to site for classic add-ons, I take it?
ye
we cannot just search it on twitch app anymore? we have to go to actual site?
so help me out here was the crit cap for fury war in vanilla 21 percent or 40 percent cap wise with world buffs i feel like the 21 percent is way to low and feels wrong
21 is low
one sec
40% i think is what to aim for
at least that is what I am reading
You can calculate your auto attack crit cap with this formula:
100-Miss%-dodge%-(parry%)-(block%)-glancing+crit suppression.
100%-26.4%-6.5%-0%-0%-40%+4.8%+hit%
= 31.9+hit (-1 if hit > 0)```
```305 wep skill dual wielding attacking from behind vs lvl 63 boss
100%-24.8%-6%-0%-0%-40%+4.8%+hit%
= 34+hit```
but I do not think that will be obtainable for a while
and the general rule of thumb for dual wield fury is 9 percent correct?
I am not entirely sure what this means
in terms of hit
hit I think 10-12?
so essentially its 9 percent if im a human any other race it would have to be higher
Yup, but you can compensate with items such as edgemasters etc
cool because i am literally arguing with this in my classic guilds discord about this saying and point out this stuff and im getting the run around with him
warrior class leader they made this guy too
Extra hit over cap is pretty shit
Unless you are crit capped, in which case its ok
so thats the bis roadmap i have
and went off of the cookie cutter build
talent wise
Use mask, truestrike, devilsaur for hit
Swap out the other hit items
If u wanna be really try hard you can use blackcrow/Blackstone and use eye of rend instead
Get LH asap tho
LH?
Lionheart helm
thought that only drops off of the nightmare dragons plan wise
or are the plans a world drop and not a world boss drop
World drop from elites over level 61
gotcha
what would you reccomend to replace the pices with hit?
other than what youv told me
@distant saffron so you think 2h fury > dw fury until more raid geared? Does that include preraidbis?
Yes
@median rivet battlechasers, magnis will, riphook
Why arc reaper
Just get nightfall
👌
why do that let the ret pally do nightfall
It's a 67 dps weapon
ah shit nvm ignore me
Good for orcs in preraid weapon
it'll do till i get my reserved BRE 😏
generally thats how you wanna go 2h fury > dw fury until more raid geared
and dont do arms in raid less you wanna get benched quick
but arcaninte reaper hoooo
oh wait they fixed the weapon speed thing didnt they
nvm
eh
point of p1 is to gear for the PVP grind in p2/3
arcanite reaper still v nice for that
so whats the deal with slam vs nonslam 2h spec
Slam = easy to fuck up, less mobile, bigger dps
Non slam = simple, easy, slightly smaller dps
how big of a dif is it
Eww pvp grind 😦
compete against your own faction... not the enemy
8-10%
thats pretty hefty
It depends on lot tho
No thanks - did it once already
is improved exec actually biog dps?
Not so much for 2h
With dw its worth 100%
With 2h? Personal prefernce
You dont execute every global , so you bt - ex - auto - ww - ex - auto, etc
So looking to mainly pvp as a warrior (obviously I’m going have to do some pve) what’s the gear/spec I should be aiming for? I have x2 pocket healers ready to go.
Arms for pvp because MS is OP
So, in yalls opinion, what role do yall think warriors will predominantly do?
tank/dps
warriors are basically the best pve class at both tanking and dps
you can do either/both and be desired almost always
are there no cast bar addons for classic? or no cast bars at all lol?
i thought i read there weren;t but thats weird if not
Can you tank dungeons while specced as fury/arms? As long as you have a shield available?
Y
@bold cargo ive read in this disco that arms is still good to tank as w/ shield. They don't seem to meme much so it seems legit.
you can tank dungeons as any spec
does simming work with classic?
Raidbots will be released for classic, I think
There was some people working on simc for classic but idk how far they got.
Guys ,is it legit if I go tanking in dungeons and roll Need on 2handers? I dont want to deal with ''ninja looter'' shit
But I cant reliably try to crawl dungeons as MS
@solar matrix I get that,I am just wondering if the rest of the group will share my opinion
be upfront about it when the group forms
if its that big of an issue they can find a new tank
but considering how long it takes to find a decent tank
i doubt they will
best professions for money making in classic as a warrior?
herb/skinning while lvling,then switch to alch at 60 and sell consumables
Ye. Its smart to inform people ahead of time if you need something that you srent gonna use in that dungeon
Like when i have to heal dungeons as a dps i tell people i will need on caster gear.
Hey guys, do you watch any warrior streamers/youtubers?
I mainly watch Bajheera,sometimes Sco
Are we allowed to talk about this here?
If they play classic i guess
How's tanking in classic dungeons do you do much aoe threat or is it all tabbing and sundering is it difficult to hold threat ?
tabing and sundering I guess, I have only tanked TBC and newer content
As a tank you generally have to work your ass off in order to keep the mobs on you
And people need to learn to main assist fast
Cause there will be too many mobs running around during the first days
HERP DERP NAB TANK L2P POM PYRO ON PULL
Haha sounds definitely more engaging yeah my first tanking was mount hyjal on Belf pally in tbc.
What about classic raid tanking how does it compare to bfa are there lots of mechanics or is it more knowing your class ?
Can't tell much about Vanilla raid tanking
Prolly something like ''WAIT FOR 3 SUNDERS''
I'm glad duel wield 1h fury is coming back
There weren’t a lot of mechanics in MC / BWL for tanking. Yeah ok, you kite on razorgore or you’re going to fight for Aggro and die on Vael.
For the most part it was pretty simple.
In AQ40 some things started to be added.
Tank mechanics are positional and threat mostly. It's very easy to spot a good/bad tank when looking at a threat meter.
Best Horde dual wield tank warr? I'm really thinking to roll Troll
Human
dwarf is ok too
in a distant third you could play night elf
pretty suboptimal tho
Horde @round gate
Troll is the best threat tank with beserking. But it's not as big as an advantage as human is for alliance.
doesn't follow
if you care about optimization you should be alliance
horde is for rp casuals
Kek no
Look out Zelos is edgy
not wrong tho
it's not edgy to say it's pointless to optimize the strictly suboptimal
you're already making the choice the not care about optimization
why are you half-assing it
Optimization within the confines of what faction you want to play. There is nothing wrong with that.
I want to play with RL friends who are horde, but still min/maxing as much as possible beyond that
In horde side none of the races are hands down better. If you can snapshot berserking then troll is where you want to be.
It's really a choice between tauren and troll. Tauren more Stam, and bigger hitbox/range. Troll berserking.
I'm personally playing tauren but it was not a min/max decision. The people I'll be playing with won't require me to generate theoretical levels of threat. So I'll have 5% more HP to help out healers(not that they should need help)
Orc is hands down better for anything but MT
stop the Tauren meme
play it if you want but don't act as if it was better or on-par
I am MTing. Orc provides nothing besides axe skill. And I've outlined what the only other 2 choices provides.
play Troll then
The reality is if you are asking these questions it does not matter for you. as you don't play at a level where the race choice matters.
I'm not telling them to. I'm saying I am
5:06 PM] Opiee: In horde side none of the races are hands down better.
when in fact there are
My first statement was troll is better I believe.
But the difference is not as big as human on alliance side.
And horde is just cooler. :P
Who wants to be a boring human
Is arms bad in raids? Like bad enough they won’t be brought? Kinda wanna just go pvp arms in classic
Or prot
choosing race based on who will be a 1% better dual wield threat tank which is probably a year away in terms of progression
seems silly to say the least
And the guides don’t say to use rend while leveling. Is it not worth using at all? Seems silly if you take improved rend
@slender scarab most likely you will be invited assuming you're fury and they'll be disappointed you're arms
also MS takes up a debuff slot so you cant use it in raids
Wow that’s a big rip
2h fury does well on horde
TL;DR is: don't raid as Arms
Is it so expensive you can’t swap between specs enough to raid and pvp?
no, it's not that bad if you're playing smart and your guild raid days aren't idiotic
a lot of people do 1 respec a week, raid one day and pvp the rest of the week
smart guilds raid alternating days of Tue/Wed for long gaps inbetween raids
lets say if you only raid and pvp, then you probably wont make enough gold to finance even 2 weekly respecs
but if you want to pvp and raid as a warrior, you'd probably be fine playing fury for both
@stiff sail just have a farming alt, make bank to pay for respecs
farming alt is a big investment tho
well yeah that is why I said if he only raids and pvp
might as well farm 100+ hours on your warrior
Cringe.
yeah that works too, but if you really want to be self sufficent, investing in a hunter or mage alt to farm can pay off
Or play rogue lol. 1 spec for both?
sure, not arguing against farming alt but keep in mind that it only pays off long-term
rogues dont really have 1 spec for both
the pvp spec for rogue isnt that great in pve
I mean you can play fury in pvp just fine too
the pve spec for rogue is okay, but i mean the warrior pve spec is okay as well
in pvp*
being shit dps pre-P4 
I'm looking forward to some time as 2H Fury 🤷
Anyone know of a lightweight addon that will tell me to refresh battle shout?
weakauras
Can’t wait to arms dps in raids again

We’ve been closely following the community discussion around this add-on for WoW Classic, as well as analyzing it to make sure we understand how it works. After careful examination, we believe the nature of ClassicLFG is incompatible with our social design for Classic. Thus...
👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
ZOOMERS: flossed on
Now to disable Questie!
Hey there! I m new here and I will roll a warrior in classic.
I ll level with guildies and my wife so I m looking for the best build to Tank dungeons and hard quests while other kill things.
I ve heard some Fury build with a shield would be the best, do you guys have some sort of guide of how to chose talents and stuff ?
Thank you for taking the time !
Skarm has videos on the fury/prot build on youtube
for levelling just go arms
so for dual wielding we want the most weapon dmg not the most dps right
@simple talon depends
moms basement must be nice lmao
@novel gust #promotion
@simple talon i assume it's easier to play those hours if you had your own place
my mum would have never let me do that, basement or no
which addons should we use as warriors for lvling? it gives a azeroth auto pilot addon? and how can i install these addons?
Twitch have them if you change to Classic wow
Is there already a nice and clean interface option for warri in Classic to copy? 😛
are they seriously getting rid of fucking skeletons
Skellys despawn quickly. It's mostly to prevent people spelling out shit via deaths/skeletons
On YouTube you can look up when gold farmers use to advertise their website like that. Randomly fall/die
@hard obsidian I know this is very delayed but the best build to go if you are tanking dungeons while leveling is deep protection
deep prot will out perform fury prot in all instances with lower gear
after you are set with your hit rating and get some Crit and AP that is when it gets sexy
but you could always run in with a beefy 2 hander, pop sweeping strikes, and than whirlwind an entire trash pack and than pop your shield back on
thank you ! I actually find the dedicated classic warrior discord where they are advising for this build to tank and group leveling in dungeons
https://www.bobo-talents.com/?c=warrior&t=qfrqrryKyLqgrurvqlryqisYrzrArBqmp-rIrJrKqjqCsyszsAsB
Shareable Classic WoW Talent Calculator that tracks the order that you spend Talents.
okay yea see how they go into improved 2 hander, sweeping strikes, and cruelty? that is what I was just saying where you can EASILY get aggro on a trash pack by getting some nice crits off an initial Whirlwind, than Demo Shout, and than pop a shield back on if you are getting beat on too much
but remember if you plan on tanking it is important to use your sword a lot to keep your weapon skill increasing. Otherwise when you get to Scholo and Dire Maul you won't be able to hit shit lol
Wondering if there is a warrior spec that will have remotely any self-sustain... Looks like going prot for last stand+blood craze might be the only self sustain I can realistically get? Really hoping to build a 2h (arms?) warrior that can run BGs solo without getting roflstomped but I don't know if it's possible...
nope
this is vanilla, so not every spec can self sustain
warrior is not supposed to be an epic solo spec
bet you warlocks can though
Hey guys. in a given raid, is only the MT warrior in prot spec, or are the MT and war OT both prot spec?
usually 1st and 2nd tank
sad to hear edgemaster's handguards are no longer BiS
seems like blizz changed how weapon skill works in very last patch
it was one of those moments getting a 30g BOE from the AH and becoming a god
Still bis for non hukan/orc
but imagine not playin an orc
its weird, I can't find the nerf in vanilla patch notes just 2.0.1
which is TBC's pre patch
thanks @distant saffron You're awesome.
In my old vanilla raid we usually ran with 3 prot warriors. I was #4 tank in my 31/5/15 spec.
And I tanked most instances in arms spec before level 60.
Had a friend who played an enhancement shaman very well. Taught me how to hold aggro. :-D
is hamstering kiting possible whle leveling in wow classsic?
2 days away fuuuuu
2 sleeps
and then 10h queue
@slender scarab it is but not the same as on pservers and it's rarely necessary on Classic
sure helps tho
thx
[Horde, EU, Firemaw] Experienced priest LFG dungeon cleave, looking to hit 60 asap
hi we need help
for classic dsp warior talents

0 queue on Zandalari Tribes 
@misty bolt you gonna go zt?
Yeah
Horde?
Not 100% sure yet but wanna go horde yup
Well, i will be going horde, so hmu if you do
2 sleeps ye. One til tomorrow and one after work
Well I for sure aint sleeping till morning lol on release day
Anyone else going ZT here ?
What's "easiest" to level as, fury or arms?
Arms with some fury trairs
Because its good tank tree at the same time + sweeping strikes
I dont there will be too many people that will play on a rppvp server here
I am shocked that i am not the only one tbh.
No queue (hopefully) and mature playerbase. Rppvp rocks
Hopefully the server is 50/50 split horde alli like defias brotherhood so theres some guild rivalry and stuff
Ye
From what the survey says, we are pretty close to 50/50
But who knows what it will be
Theres a survey ?
I will dm it to you
Looks like an even split nice
@misty bolt yes
im playing on that too
@woven torrent @misty bolt https://puu.sh/E9mWB/cc66668644.png
no.
Shiet
i'll see you in searing gorge mining thorium, friendo
Gonna go with same name?
Prolly Ishy, or Jotaro
Any thoughts on Troll vs Orc for prot?
Im still on the fence on alli vs horde fuck
If you pvp, Horde so you can play Orc for stun resist. If you PvE, Horde because Shaman can bloodlust @misty bolt choice is easy 😂
Isnt lust a tbc spell
Think you meant windfury 
nah, people confuse addons easily
happened to me too when you
are playing this game for almost 15 years
So I have decided 14 seconds ago to be a warrior tank and make a guild and own a thunderfury
What do I need to know
This is all as opposed to being a mage
think about it while you're leveling to 60
Oh I didn't realize lust was TBC
can someone link actual vanilla parses?(not pservers)
parses from 2005 don't mean much
99% of people had no idea what they're doing
it's going to be very different this time around
Imagine being that guy in BiS with BRE
Its insane to think theres only 1 day till we can play the real wow again man
btw with sims
coming into classic i wanna see if BiS lists are actual BiS
or will they be proven wrong
I dont think they will
The classic theorycrafters had loads of time on this, unless there are some huge changes from private to actual game
I am right now struggling to decide whether to relive my nostalgia as a human warrior or try something new
is leveling as prot to slow?
By questing, yes.
by doing anything, yes
So can arms spec basically tank all leveling dungeons?
You can tank everything as arms. Briefly.
I was dumb in vanilla and didn't roll war so I don't know :/
But dungeons, specifically, yes.
Not a problem at all.
I think I even off-tanked trash in MC as arms when we needed it.
Good deal. Thanks!
BLASPHEMY

Is it again later for EU
nah 0:00
Excellent
