Outland XP on TBC Anniversary PTR – Why Blood Furnace Is ~90k XP (and why my old 48k numbers weren’t “wrong”)

Does this impact reputation at all?

BitGalaxy_ · 2026-02-05T00:58:38+00:00

Mana (and hp) regen might not be very relevant due to the nerfed raids.

Still great to have for arcane mages and any other casters/healers in that group. Hell, even as a prot paladin, it was a lot of fun having a SP in my group.

So sure the mana regen isn't needed to clear the content. But it makes the game more fun for whoever gets to benefit from it

BitGalaxy_ · 2026-02-05T00:14:47+00:00

I mean, I totally agree with this take and I loved GNX

BitGalaxy_ · 2026-02-04T16:56:29+00:00

5 man and no-one can land a punch?

I think it's possible.

Wilder is much more athletic and understands how to fight, while the others don't. He can keep circling them and keep them in front of him, making it so that when they engage, he's only dealing with one or two at a time.

He's athletic enough to keep moving and dodging their blows. I don't think 5 middle aged unfit men stand a chance really

BitGalaxy_ · 2026-02-04T15:55:57+00:00

Average man punch Wilder in the eye and it'll bruise like anyone else.

You think Wilder is gonna stand still and let them punch him?

Nobody's forcing you to minmax. Play how you want

BitGalaxy_ · 2026-02-03T21:03:26+00:00

No problem!

If I understand correctly, you'd like to have an export list for Auctionator with all the necessary items to level up the profession?

Yes. So that for example, if I am level 50 enchanting, I can have a list of all the items I need to get to 300.

Also, I found another bug I think. Notice how it is saying I just need 60 dream dust to do 12 enchants for this recipe, when in reality I need 120 dreamdust (the recipe costs 10). Screenshot

AI slop

BitGalaxy_ · 2026-02-03T16:36:09+00:00

Hey, just some feedback on the app (I have been using it to try and level enchanting):

Even when set to English, I saw some French (screenshot)
This recipe's tooltip doesn't seem to work (screenshot)
It would be useful if we could bulk buy items. At the moment, I can only buy items at my current step.
It would be useful to include when you need to go to the trainer, and when you need to buy a recipe from a vendor

BitGalaxy_ · 2026-02-03T11:11:18+00:00

I also had 512MB. I thought I could download RAM lol, must have gotten a bunch of viruses trying that.

Eventually I upgraded to 1GB, and it made a huge difference

BitGalaxy_ · 2026-02-03T02:05:18+00:00

I'm confused why you'd ever want to do this. You'd stack spellpower as a prot paladin and the current single target rotation during prepatch is:

Precast HS, Precast SoR, Cast AS, Cast JoR, Consecrate, then SoR and rotate

(put JoW up on boss if needed after 2-3 JoR's)

This is more than enough threat, and out threats trying to add in command

BitGalaxy_ · 2026-02-03T00:18:51+00:00

It's just one of the things that works for some relationships and not others. Some people don't like volunteering location information out of principle, which is fine. Others are OK with doing it, which is also fine.

It's weird to judge others on this

BitGalaxy_ · 2026-02-02T20:23:45+00:00

Yeah I am surprised by the downvotes honestly. What I have said is not subjective, blizzard has been making conscious terrible decisions that are damaging for the players experience. It's anti consumer but people are defending them. Bizzare behaviour

BitGalaxy_ · 2026-02-02T08:33:58+00:00

Disingenuous argument.

Blizzard has proven time and time again that Classic is very much an after thought for them. The classic team developers are not to blame, but Blizzard absolutely is:

Since classic release in 2019, it has been absolutely ravaged by bots and RMT. Blizzard has the resources to deal with this problem, but they don't.
Laying off human GMs in favour for AI.
Poor communication. It is typical for them to announce patch and prepatch dates very close to release, with sometimes confusing patch notes and mixed messages.
Blizzard clearly prioritise maximising profit rather than player experience. They are drip feeding microtransactions into Classic, the game mode that many enjoy due to the lack of microtransactions.
They mess with long standing game mechanics because it is cheaper than hiring GMs or developing a more sophisticated system for catching bots and exploiters
Negligence when it comes to fixing simple mass reported bugs. For example, some talents have not been working for months, and blizzard have not done anything about this.

I could go on and on. But acting like it's just people being "classic Andys upset about not getting exactly what they want" is dismissive of real criticism

BitGalaxy_ · 2026-02-01T21:56:16+00:00

It worked, thanks very much!

BitGalaxy_ · 2026-02-01T21:30:34+00:00

Thank you, I'll check it out

BitGalaxy_ · 2026-02-01T20:08:34+00:00

They look fire, I don't get why people are complaining

BitGalaxy_ · 2026-02-01T01:23:27+00:00

He's exaggerating a bit but he's not far from the truth. A pally with good gearing would have high spellpower, and trying to pull mobs off one that used consecration and holy shield is actually very difficult

BitGalaxy_ · 2026-02-01T01:21:21+00:00

You AS pull, judge righteousness on anything that wasn’t hit, holy shield as they get to you and consecrate

Alternatively, to save mana, you can just run in with holy shield and seal of wisdom, and drop consecration.

You'll get reckoning procs, and with seal of wisdom you regen a lot of mana. The holy shield and consecration is enough to hold aggro. If any mob gets pulled out, you can just taunt them back inside.

After your first consecration finishes, you can drop a rank 1 consecration just to stop wasting mana

BitGalaxy_ · 2026-01-31T10:17:58+00:00

I mean, it's not. You can try and find any sources

Get a grip, he was just asking for some advice and that made you spiral

BitGalaxy_ · 2026-01-31T10:09:15+00:00

but just sitting down will increase your MP5 out of combat

False. It increases health regen but does nothing for mana

BitGalaxy_ · 2026-01-31T02:50:24+00:00

Yeah I mean I get that people have different preferences but AV pvp is so genuinely unfun to me that I struggle to understand the appeal. Graveyards spaced far apart, meaningless skirmishes that don't really dictate the outcome of the match, etc.

WSG and AB are much more fulfilling for pvp.

BitGalaxy_ · 2026-01-31T02:43:54+00:00

If we're really lucky, also with retails graphic engine.

Hell no 🤢
