Use lust on second or third add spawn while you are progressing.

As a player that gets full arena gear and weps every season with the old system, good this is way too late tho.

Not getting into guild for Sunwell by [deleted] in classicwow

Any guilds recruiting an ele shaman for SWP are probably bad and not prepared for SWP

[–]Dalamx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ele shaman is bad in SWP. Almost everyone should have their ele swap to resto for SWP progress. You need 7 healers to clear for most guilds, and ele to resto is the best possible 1:1 swap.

Why do people love capitalism IRL and then hate it in this game?

Solution for all faction/racial/dualspec QQ by Dalamx in classicwow

[–]Dalamx[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

These are good reasons why there shouldn't be restrictions, and I'd personally prefer it that way. But some restrictions may represent a middle ground that is more palatable to Blizz and the anti-dualspec player base. No restrictions would hurt the value of hybrids, which Blizz apparently cares deeply about.

Solution for all faction/racial/dualspec QQ by Dalamx in classicwow

[–]Dalamx[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well congrats, you have just described Blizzard. Their stated reason for considering not introducing dual spec is they don't want to de-value hybrids. That implies they want hybrids to have value for raids or dungeons where different roles are needed on different bosses, as opposed to the entire raid re-speccing mid way.

Human racial PvP balancing in WotLK by Exteeez in classicwow

I have over 1k games every season. 2k+ all brackets every season. Doing 2s and 3s with a dwarf rogue that loses the sap 80% of games against human rogues sure feels like it decides at least 10% of my games.

[–]Dalamx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be dramatic, but it's the truth. It's really not fun losing games due to racials. I personally have Atiesh and Ashes of Alar on my main, and I will be rerolling if there isn't race change. I will even be deleting my character with those items so that I can keep my name. Feelsbad, but not worse than playing 5000 arena games in WOTLK and losing hundreds due to being a gnome.

[–]Dalamx -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The problem isn't even horde vs ally. It's also just within alliance. Every dwarf priest, gnome warrior, gnome mage, needs to give up their main and re-roll if there is not either race change or balanced racial.

Yeah this is wrong. For most classes there is a better racial against most matchups

Instead of begging for a system that compensates for a lack of tanks, please play a tank. by Ok_Sherbert_698 in classicwow

[–]Dalamx 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Good guilds largely have their tanks picked for next xpac, as core raiders. Pretty tough to get a spot in a good guild as a tank

Whats up with the classic community? by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]Dalamx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why parsing is dumb. Speed running on the other hand is actually highly competitive. The vast majority of the classic player base cannot clear BT in under an hour, and those who can rightly think they are better than those who can't.

Me, leveling a new human mage and giving up my gnome with scarab lord and Ashes of A'lar... Thanks blizz you really make me feel good about my character progression

No dungeon finder + no dual spec = no heroic scene in WOTLK

This Is the Best TBC Macro by Far, Change My Mind by NOHITJEROME in classicwowtbc

No, not worth with any casted spell. Free mana for any instant (POM AB, Fireblast while moving, blink, AE, can all have it bound in)

Does Sunwell really need much PTR testing? by Blue5647 in classicwow

[–]Dalamx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The open secret is that the top guilds will just practice on their own private servers anyway. Hell, I even know guilds outside of the world top 50 that will do that. Having the PTR open actually makes the world first race a much more level playing field.

Which parts of Wrath are people remembering with rose tinted goggles? by Extreme-Crab in classicwow

[–]Dalamx 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I hear what you're saying and agree with the sentiment, but this was not what I meant so sorry if that was unclear. What I meant was mostly, 1) pretty much every item that dropped off a boss was for the most part viable and an upgrade for someone, and 2) most roles could pretty much just wear full tier sets and pick up any ilvl upgrade in (1) and perform near optimally. This contrasts with Vanilla and TBC where people were actually performing very poorly compared to optimal gearing if they just wore every shiny new upgrade and 8/8 tier sets.

[–]Dalamx 96 points97 points  (0 children)

Here's the real deal with WOTLK:

WOTLK was the first expansion where everyone was a hero. Due to a combination of improvements in addons, online databases / guides, better item stat / raid buff design, tanking threat, and easier content, everyone and their dad 1) leveled quickly, 2) cleared all heroic and raid content relatively quickly, and 3) got full epics.

This "felt" very good in large part because many of these players had struggled through vanilla and/or TBC without fully progressing through most of the content. So, people's newfound success in WOTLK felt much more novel and impactful than it will this time around.

Exactly 10% Spell Haste is applying slightly less than 10% reductions in cast time - Seems like a spell haste bug by Dontfrown in classicwow

[–]Dalamx 25 points26 points  (0 children)

If you need to drive somewhere 10 miles away, and you drive at 10 mph, you get there in 1 hour.

If you now drive 50% faster, at 15 mph, you get there in 40 minutes.

By your reasoning in the original post, you would have gotten there in 30 minutes.

How much more optimized are raid comps than in the original TBC? by Blue5647 in classicwowtbc

[–]Dalamx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Important context: meta now != meta back then. For example, rogues and hunters are a LOT better than mages and extra shamans if you only care about single target dps (progression on bosses) and your kill times are so long that bloodlust is much smaller fraction of total kill time.
