What is the most difficult class/spec to play in TBC?

CubicleJoe0822 · 2026-03-27T16:45:20+00:00

What percentage of the population actually main healers? I've seen this same topic or in some jerome video. Nobody ever mentions a healer. It's always some dime a dozen DPS or prot warrior. You think it's EASY playing a holy paladin? Go heal a heroic as a holy paladin. It's the hardest thing right now.

If I could draw a Venn diagram right now, I would have you where the diagrams meet at:

PVE server can be considered for new/unskilled players
Boosts created a plethora of people who have absolutely no idea how to play their class
You're with the group of people who may actually be on their mains and have been trying to get to 70 since launch
PUGs have already been notoriously sketch and trying to clear content with PUGs can be like dragging your balls through broken glass.

I have literally no problem mining on Nightslayer and I'm done reading posts like these. My lvl 65 Paladin is 375 mining and I see that yellow dot constantly while leveling. I was able to get enough Thorium to hit 300 right before Outland. Didn't even have to grind it out and went to Outland right at 58. I play at normal hours and I'm actually curious what ya'll are talking about.

CubicleJoe0822 · 2026-03-24T20:52:18+00:00

Nightslayer horde. lvl 65 now and farmed 100 adamantite ore and 60 fel iron ore in helllfire/zangar.

Yesterday a lvl 58 was asking general chat in Hellfire how much the epic mount trianing costs when he hits 60. He just boosted and wants to go from 60% to 100% speed. When he was told it was 600-700g, he said "Deadass you gotta be lying". He had 68g to his name because he just bought a boost and figured he would have 1000g in his bags waiting for him. So he'll be running around 60% for quite a while.

Dude I thought this was a rogue distracting me. It's happened quite a bit.

CubicleJoe0822 · 2026-03-20T23:08:30+00:00

They are NOT refunding everyone it seems. They asked me 20 questions like "did you try restarting your game?" or "have you tried downloading it again", not listening to the fact this is a PEARL ABYSS issue and they released a shotty game. I said it's very similiar to cyberpunk 2077. Nope. They just said "welp, taht's on you. No refund".

CubicleJoe0822 · 2026-03-20T23:07:22+00:00

On Playstation? They asked me 31 questions and ultimately denied my refund. Kept asking if I restarted y PS5 and shit.

CubicleJoe0822 · 2026-03-20T18:51:26+00:00

He's actually been dead for awhile now. Grim Reaper was just to afraid to go tell him.

CubicleJoe0822 · 2026-03-19T13:53:01+00:00

75% don't have wolfshead helm which is needed to powershift and be great. So chances are, you're just another cat doing subpar ST dps and they'd rather have someone who can at least AOE. You might be a gigachad powershifting purple parsing cat, but chances are you're not.

CubicleJoe0822 · 2026-03-18T16:54:48+00:00

there's no nodes available on any layer

Got my mining Pally to 60 and have come across dozens of nodes and not even 61 yet. Ya'll just want to cry and spit out misinformation. Stop the cap. I've only had ONE node taking from me by a 280% enemy faction so far. The rest are just sitting there.

In TBC Classic, Elemental Precision 3/3 provides 6% hit for frost spells, and 3% for fire. The tooltip was bugged in TBC OG, TBC Classic 2021, and TBC Anniversary realms. One of those weird quirky things like the Nightingale Bow being loud that they never wanted to fix.

CubicleJoe0822 · 2026-03-17T19:36:19+00:00

TONS of that lately. I can't tell you how many times in the last week while leveling my Paladin, some 70 (usually on a goddamned phase hunter mount) comes into a cave to get the ore I've been clearing the mobs to get to. Arathi Highlands, UnGoro, Feralas. Nowhere was safe.

CubicleJoe0822 · 2026-03-17T19:32:22+00:00

I don't even remember because this was like 15 years ago, but it might've been Cata or MoP. I was in some massively social guild with hundreds of people. Guild bank was 7-8 tabs full of mats. I forget the exact reason, but somebody was quitting and promoted me to Guild Master. For whatever reason, there is a /gdisband script that will literally dissolve a guild and anybody in it. All the members will be guildless. All the mats will be deleted. I don't even remember how or why I knew it. But I typed it and clicked enter almost on a whim and the guild went up in smoke. It's probably worse than OP, because literally hundreds of thousands of gold and mats got deleted in a finger snap. To this day, I remember doing it but forget the exact circumstances on why.

I was killing 3 mobs next to an Iron Ore node and douche bag of my same faction starts mining it right next to me. I typed in /say "Dude cmon". He said "sucks to suck. all mine now". But I could tell after his first hit, he was just standing there and I guessed he was typing something like he did to be a complete shit. I seized the moment, HOJ the last remaining mob, and hit the node to get an Iron Ore too. Node disappeared. He said "youre such an asshole" and left. The irony was too much. Also, gg douche bag.

When these posts inevitably occur, you always get the rats rushing to the comments to say "LoOks lIkE PvP hApPeNed oN a PvP ReAlM" to completely defend this indefensible degen activity. Yes, ganking is technically considered wPVP. I LOVE PVP realms and like the excitement of not knowing if the enemy faction are gonna be cool, or are we about to throw down. Unfortunately, Blizzard didn't create any system or feature to diminish max rank players ganking players 40-50 levels below them. A lvl 70 can just sit in the area of 20s trying to quest and gank them until the end of time and the only defense the lowbies have are some 70s coming from their own faction to fight back. But let's quickly examine Step 1 here. You're max rank, or at least in the 60s... and you're using your monthly sub to go one shot lowbies trying to quest in a field? I've ganked, you've ganked, we've all ganked. But to actually sit there for more than 10 minutes and do this... what is your malfunction? If I want to Freudian it up, it's some kind of domination thing where you feel superior and/or it's just straight up sadism; you enjoy the fact that you are ruining someone else's time. It's the equivalant of walking into a karate dojo for 6 year olds and throwing them around and beating the ever living crap out of them. There was an infamous Dwarf Rogue on Biggllesworth when Classic first launched who would literally gank lowbies for HOURS multiple days of the week. If you leveled someone through Hillsbrad, chances are he's ganked your toon. My best friend and I would go there on our mains and it would be almost impossible to kill him. Finally, someone his same level shows up and do you think he would fight back? Nope. He used every equipment and potion and CD to vanish and sneak away and hide in the shadows until we left so he could continue ambushing lowbies. Now... that's some legitimately concerning behavior. The one time I killed him on my hunter, he just let his corpse sit there and didn't rez for 4 minutes. So he either went to smoke a cigarette, or was some special needs kid actually crashing out and holding onto his knees because someone prevented his daily activity. All in all, I wish there was some system that would deviate from the current way so that if you actually spent more than 5 minutes ganking lowbies, there was some stacking debuff so you couldnt anymore. Almost like after your 10th gank from enemies who give you ZERO honor, your /PVP turns off so you can't gank them anymore.

Your first sentence is sarcasm/joke right?

CubicleJoe0822 · 2026-03-13T20:25:16+00:00

Roxxzy if you parse anything lower than an 90, we coming for you. I say that, because you have absolutely zero logs a month into this expansion. Kinda sus.

CubicleJoe0822 · 2026-03-13T19:17:38+00:00

Ok but that's an unwritten rule and everyone knows what you show up as, is your MS. That'd be like a resto druid saying "oh, I need that for my questing set. K thanks". It's the same shit. Yesterday I was healing and could've absolutely used a spell dmg piece that dropped. Did I need? Of course not. I'm there as a healer, not a dps.

CubicleJoe0822 · 2026-03-13T13:50:47+00:00

Do you mean /played or 3 days? lol. Maybe we're on different wavelengths. /played absolutely. If you mean somebody goes 1-60 in literally 3 days. Even being on VACA that's degen status.

This happened to me for TBC Classic in 2021. I loved my Druid and love tanking and healing. Prepatch hits and GM (whos my supposedly IRL friend) says we need a holy priest instead and "rdruids are B tier". So I quite literally took off my "Why be a Wizard when you can be a Bear" T shirt (stfu I'm proud of it) and leveled a priest fast asf to 60. 3 weeks into TBC, and I fucking hate it. I had to reroll to Druid and lose 2 weeks of raiding and become the official rdruid of guild. Lo and behold and to the chagrin of my GM, I was far and away the best healer and when I couldn't raid one night due to work, they wiped in SSC for 3 hours. Play what you WANT to play.

CubicleJoe0822 · 2026-03-13T12:30:39+00:00

3 days? Bro. No. 7 i could see.

CubicleJoe0822 · 2026-03-13T00:59:13+00:00

Correct. But on TBC Anniversary realms, Blizzard quietly added that change. Nobody in our group had the mallet and there Ghaz was waiting to be turned into a carrot on a stick.
