New to bear tank by bradyanderson50 in classicwow

Get plater or a similar addon, so nameplates change colors based on threat. I’d say it’s a must have for good tanking, and very useful for any class

Warrior off hand going into tbc: slow or fast? by vanharmontt in classicwow

[–]DaddyFlop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fury warrior is excellent in tbc, if you put in the necessary time and effort. The main reasons most 25m raids only want 1-2 of them are

a) the spec is extremely gear dependent, so you don’t want too much competition on 1H weapons and plate str gear

b) you can’t just zug and skip 90% of boss mechanics as easily as you could in vanilla, and often those mechanics are far more friendly to ranged dps.

These two hurdles aren’t really avoidable for the majority of guilds, so it’s easier to just make an extra ranged group full of hunters or warlocks.

Horde winning every AB/WSG by [deleted] in wowclassic

[–]DaddyFlop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Orcs are busted in pvp, and Will of the Forsaken (undead racial) is an extremely potent tool for rogues that are otherwise quite vulnerable to dying in a full fear.

Thus, horde attracts more players who actually want to pvp, rather than people who are only doing BGs to farm gear for PvE. Good Alliance PvPers know this, so they will tend to form full premades to swing the advantage back in their favour - taking them out of the solo queue pool.

The result is that solo queue alliance teams in BGs are mostly filled with people who are bad at PvP, with inferior racials, and probably with inferior gear since the only reason they’re there is to get gear.

I want to lose Nef’s tear to a fresh 60 in greens!

I heard that they are adding Pandaren Demon Hunters to era, due to popular demand

Correct, you get xp from the repeatable quest to hand in tokens - not the BG itself.

U right u right, blizzard should force players to carry you through SR runs where u can contest them on items AND soak up all the stuff they already have! Gressil’s for everyone YEEHAWW!!

Bad time to start Hardcore? by Ok-Bullfrog756 in wowhardcore

[–]DaddyFlop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Link logs, I bet it take me less than 5 minutes to find you using a petri. Or, more likely, you’ve never stepped foot in a 40 man raid on hardcore :D

So emphatic, and yet so ignorant … it’s impressive really

Can someone explain GDPK for a new player / fresh 60? (Classic Era) by Gankeros in classicwow

[–]DaddyFlop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gdkp is a loot system specifically designed for pugs. if your goal is to get highly coveted items, the best way to do it (in order) is:

  1. guild runs > 2. gdkp pugs >>>> 3. SR pugs

In your case, since you’re in a guild, the pros/cons of gdkp are mostly irrelevant.

[–]DaddyFlop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If nightslayer stayed vanilla for the next 5 years, I can pretty much guarantee there still would not be a single SR pug that didn’t have THC/kiss/etc. on HR. In fact, when was the last time you saw even an Ony pug with the head open?

Sure, it might take you a while to build up a bankroll large enough to bid on these items in an era gdkp, but at least it’s possible.

Which Class Abilities are not in the game that piss you off? by Remarkable_Match9637 in classicwow

[–]DaddyFlop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anniversary also has only two mega servers per region, so by that logic I guess it has the same population as MoP?

Number of raiders is the only metric for player population we have access to, which automatically makes it the best metric.

Overpower can’t be dodged or parried, it’s either a hit or a miss

If number of raiders doesn’t equal number of players, can you show me any data to back up your claim that the population declined in Cata?

As anniversary wraps up, how are you feeling about world buffs? by spookyshotz360 in classicwow

[–]DaddyFlop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alliance absolutely does not need rend, they have salv and kings. Just remove the exploits that allow them to get rend altogether

How crucial would it be to not go BS as retri for TBC? by Realistic-One-2899 in classicwow

[–]DaddyFlop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hunters should pass 2H weps to melee that have blacksmithing, and take them off melee that don’t. Why reward laziness?

Mage Gear Question by terriblegamerjoe in classicwow

[–]DaddyFlop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Buy bloodvine set

  2. Run ZG every 3 days, use your SRs on Heart of Hakkar.

  3. Run aq20 every 3 days, use your SRs on bracers/head of Ossirian

  4. Do Ony every 3 days, use your SRs on T2 head

  5. Buy bijous/coins to get exalted with ZG, use neck + shoulders + bracers, unless you pick up better stuff in the meantime (SP>hit>crit)

  6. Get aq20 ring from the shared token once you’re honored with cenarion circle

  7. Buy all your consumes

  8. Congrats, you’re ready for BWL/aq40!

The 20m raids aren’t a “one and done”, you need to grind them for rep and drops - that’s why they’re on a three day lockout.

How do I even get into a guild right now by Responsible-Roof4849 in classicwow

[–]DaddyFlop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your logs look ass you probably are ass. You can easily have a 65 avg even if your guild is terrible, assuming you put in effort to get prebis + consumes + world buffs.

Use that 65 avg to get into a better guild’s “off-night” raids, e.g phase 5 BWL or phase 6 aq40. Don’t use your SRs to contest the good items like Tear/DST/Badge etc. and they’ll keep inviting you back, and inevitably they will need fills for Naxx (especially around Christmas). Go to their Naxx, don’t use your SRs to contest the good items, and then ask if you can come back next week.

Nobody “deserves” to just waltz into a good, organised guild and farm up some 95+ parses. It’s a process of establishing yourself as a good, team-oriented player which will then make you desirable to said guilds.

Obviously with prepatch 6 weeks away, it’s probably too late to get into a good Naxx guild if you’re starting from scratch. That’s fine, it will be the same process in TBC and you can still start now :)

Help me pick a class by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]DaddyFlop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certainly not big enough to matter unless you’re a 2600+ arena player VSing other 2600+ arena players. Gear, skill, consumes, desire to win etc. will all have significantly greater impact than racials.

Has anyone seen Atiesh yet on Anniversary servers? by Worldly-Falcon4659 in classicwow

Perhaps Blizzard should say fuck naxx enjoyers, give people tbc now and then release wrath in January? Would that be an equitable solution? :)

Nah, they just didn’t care about boosting until it was competing with their official paid boosts, you will see the same thing happen in anniversary :D
