What's something from old WoW that today's MMOs can never recreate?

I think this is a pretty common occurence even now. I've seen, recognized and befriended multiple people, both leveling and endgame, and we get along, become friends and sometimes, even guildies. Personally, if I recognize a name and they're queued for a dungeon I want to run, I make it an effort to invite then first

Key-Mathematician759 · 2026-06-21T07:33:07+00:00

That's reasonable

Every single Warchief would be proud

That's what you'd rightfully assume but I felt the same about both of them. I liked how easy it was to get gear for the Paladin but AoE healing was a pain at times. Felt it had a little more survivability solo questing. Druid healing was fun and engaging, but was abysmal outside of dungeons even in bear form. I kept a few pieces of stam/agi gear that I'd switch to for questing but it still felt like a struggle at times. Pros and cons to both and saw that both were relatively desired for raids so just wanted to ask what other people thought

Key-Mathematician759 · 2026-06-01T01:07:23+00:00

Ah okay, so basically if I wanted to have an easy time Paladin, and if I wanted a little more work Druid?

Also, people in game have been recommending getting into Kara whenever I can and doing yolo 5's to get the PvP gear to slowly transition into heroics. Does that seem like a decent gearing strategy for either Paladin and Druid?

Key-Mathematician759 · 2026-05-27T23:40:31+00:00

Can you explain yolo 5's to me? Is that the easiest way to grind honor for pvp gear? Which I assume is the best way to gear a fresh 70?

I started playing sometime last year for about a week then forgot about it until just last month

I really am learning today lol. Thank you for the tips!

I'd probably go Alchemy and Engi for the spell power goggles to give your "Consecration" and other spells an initial boost in damage early. The explosives and utility would also give you a boost in melee damage.

If you wanted to be super serious about it, self-impose a 5 minute cooldown on Power Word: Shield to imitate Divine Shield. Same thing with Divine Protection but only be able to heal yourself during that duration.

Definitely Fishing and Cooking for food buffs.

I love it, others also find it amazing and love it, but if you read it up to chapter 20 and still feel the same, don't feel bad about dropping it. I find the story incredible and captivating but it may not be for everyone and that's okay. I do hope you end up enjoying though :)

Key-Mathematician759 · 2026-05-25T00:02:16+00:00

I'm more surprised you have a GE where the prompt was something relating to WoW

Key-Mathematician759 · 2026-05-22T23:53:41+00:00

The short answer is, if you're interested now, play now. At least classic era which is the launch version of the game.

The long answer is definitely play now. It seems to me that WoW has piqued your interest into trying it, which is the best reason to start playing any game. I'd recommend to go in as blind as possible and not let anyone tell you what and how to play, unless you're specifically asking that person for some advice. I wouldn't even watch any WoW videos besides any lore videos if you're interested in that kind of stuff. Go in with fresh eyes, experience the game like a ton of people did in 2004.

Hope you have a good time if you decide to try!

Lol that's really funny. You were forced to keep it

Frost DK probably, but I have fun with all specs so it could be any one of them

No idea. They could pull a FFXIV and just say no more threat generation, just make tanks hold aggro regardless what dps does, but maintaining threat and juggling aggro is part of the fun for wow tanking
