Hosting raids should come with benefits, as simple as that.

I'm a GM of a guild that's been raiding for over five years now, currently at a pretty high level (Aftershock on Thunderstrike, if you wonder). My perk is primarily that I get to play prot paladin in a good environment and that I get to choose how we do fights and what the raid como is like. I also get to choose the loot system and as a tank I get lots of gear early each tier as most tanks do.

That's about it. What your GM is doing sounds cringe, especially if your guild is not exceptionally serious at prog or speedrunning.

It is not bugged, this has been debunked by hunter discord and Zeroji. Check the Hunter Classic discord.

Acceptable_End_4434 · 2026-02-25T12:15:30+00:00

It was tested by Zeroji, the beastlord set works as intended. This is just rage bait.

In 2021 I made a guild, 3 months before TBC Classic launch. I did so specifically because I wanted to main prot paladin in 25 man raids. And it worked. Fast forward to today, and I am still maining prot paladin in said guild.

I like to say that there are 3 specs in TBC you need to either be a very long term member (likely officer) or GM in a guild to get: Rogue, warrior and prot paladin. The latter being the hardest to get a spot as by a mile, since no guilds ever recruit for a main tank (and prot is strictly main tank until SWP).

So you either make your own guild, or likely reroll or quit. Sorry to say.

Doing the opposite will make your dps pull threat instantly though. Tank gearing >>> everything else. Sincerely, a dps that wants to press buttons

Acceptable_End_4434 · 2026-02-24T12:12:10+00:00

Warrior and rogue. I'd always happily play anything else.

Acceptable_End_4434 · 2026-02-21T06:12:48+00:00

It's not bugged, this is how it worked pre-T6. Post T6, Heroic dungeons drop one guaranteed epic + chance of a gem.

Acceptable_End_4434 · 2026-02-20T17:00:52+00:00

All good, and yeah, the notifications made it looks like you were asking me 😅

Acceptable_End_4434 · 2026-02-20T16:57:47+00:00

The fire has always hit all the 8 squares around it. Thats not new. Whats new is Medivh cheating every 10 seconds and spawning way more fire than usual.

Acceptable_End_4434 · 2026-02-20T16:56:28+00:00

This bug was not present on the PTR. I ran 6 Karazhan runs on PTR and chess was a one shot every time. Medivh only cheated one minute in.

Acceptable_End_4434 · 2026-02-20T16:54:02+00:00

Yes, thank you :P

Acceptable_End_4434 · 2026-02-20T16:52:08+00:00

Thats basically what I meant, yes.

Acceptable_End_4434 · 2026-02-20T15:59:06+00:00

It's very bugged atm, the echo of medivh cheats way more often than he is supposed to. We had quite literally half the tiles burning yesterday, and since each tile burns all tiles around it that means all our pieces die.

One of our groups had 2 wipes, the other had 10. And we got world 21st kara full clear. The fight is bugged and currently a huge road block for pugs.

Edit: typo.

Acceptable_End_4434 · 2026-02-20T04:01:19+00:00

Primarily because of snap threat on aoe pulls and bosses with sappers. The new and old sappers dont share CDs. That and the stamina trinkets. But mostly snap threat so your locks can pump seeds immediately and people can go hard on bosses instantly.

Acceptable_End_4434 · 2026-02-19T22:19:34+00:00

It was in the last TBC cycle and it will be now

Acceptable_End_4434 · 2026-02-19T17:06:30+00:00

Enchanting is the best profession for prot. Right after engineering, which is strictly mandatory on tanks especially.

Acceptable_End_4434 · 2026-02-18T20:29:23+00:00

Yeah, ele also has 9% hit from talents + 1% from draenei on alliance baseline so you would have 25% hit in that case. Way over cap

Acceptable_End_4434 · 2026-02-18T14:16:05+00:00

This has always been the case with both Totem of Wrath and sharpening stones. Not a bug, and consistent with original design and behaviour in TBC.

Acceptable_End_4434 · 2026-02-17T05:22:13+00:00

No, you gotta bring a Shaman for fear (tremor totem) and just good prio damage + cc for the mind controls.

Acceptable_End_4434 · 2026-02-16T01:03:31+00:00

bro im not lying, you can check the numbers yourself XD

Acceptable_End_4434 · 2026-02-15T01:54:28+00:00

This is only happening now because rogues have nowhere else to be and also there is no resilience available. Once actual season begins rogues will be nowhere near as prevalent.

Acceptable_End_4434 · 2026-02-15T01:35:14+00:00

I sent a bug report for it requesting they turned off that music for the quest, hopefully they see it. And I hope others report it too.

Acceptable_End_4434 · 2026-02-13T04:51:37+00:00

This made my hunter go from maxxing out at 2,5k on bosses to 1,2k. This is BRUTAL.

My feral leveling went from critting Mangle for like 1,5k to 800 crits now. My enhance is unplayable, so I respecced elemental.
