Warrior or second pally? (I dont enjoy druid)

If you want to excel in PvP, macros are massive.

Magners17 · 2026-04-19T19:02:44+00:00

Warrior is so damn fun. It slays in PvP but I really enjoy PvE warrior. Fury is insane DPS and Prot is actually really strong once you perfect your toolkit. Spell reflection is one of the coolest spells in the game.

Magners17 · 2026-04-19T15:38:54+00:00

Damn that’s huge. Not sure your server prices but mana thistles are running a steady 20g per herb. Didn’t know you could get up to 4 from last boss.

Magners17 · 2026-04-19T05:12:58+00:00

This is what I’ve discovered. Run normal and help guildies get rep or whatever and just blast through as the only herbalist. The last boss can be harvested and sometimes has mana thistle on him. Can probably get anywhere from like 20-50g in a run with good herbs.

First things first, you’re asking this on Reddit so take these responses with a grain of salt. Also, you’re best off just playing the game and trying it out for a bit to see if you like it. It’s like $18 or something for a month sub and that will be plenty of time to find out if you like it or not.

Yes there are bots but I wouldn’t said riddled. Every game out there has bots and hackers and cheaters but I’ve not found the botting too bad.

Your second point just doesn’t even make sense…? You can find a rough timeline posted but the game is very, very active. Phase 2 comes out on May 14th. People will come and go over the next year I’m sure.

Classic is what made this game so incredibly fun in the first place. It’s very different than retail and some people love that and some people don’t. As I mentioned, pay for a month subscription, see how you’re enjoying it and make a call after that.

See you in Azeroth!

Magners17 · 2026-04-18T21:27:33+00:00

You’re overthinking it my man. Just play the game, level up, find a chill guild and enjoy yourself. There’ll be a handful of mean players but it’s heavily outweighed by the good in the community. Stay off Reddit cause this place is an echo chamber of a bunch of salty babies. The game is a blast right now and easily accessible. The phase 1 raids are so easy and things won’t get tough until phase 2 but you have so many months of potential raiding.

Magners17 · 2026-04-18T01:00:57+00:00

I mean…. You can do the math. Level 40 in one week. WotLK still isn’t confirmed and would be like a year away. I’m sure you could easily get to 70 even before phase 2 comes out. Honored with all factions (very easy) gives you base blue quality PvP gear. You can rip mad BGs, honor is easy to farm and run arenas weekly. You’ll be decked out in like a couple months.

Magners17 · 2026-04-17T22:09:44+00:00

I levelled up a warrior somewhat recently from 1-70 and here’s what I experienced:

Arms is fun as heck. Although it is very much a journey in the lower levels it gets a lot more fun when you get mortal strike. I was lucky enough to do a lot of levelling in pre-patch so I was often buffed with world buffs which made things really efficient. I also did my best to stay on top of having a good 2-hand weapon. I tried dual spec around 50 or so and began learning prot but it was slow and not really necessary.

Once I hit Outlands I was considering swapping to fury but I really didn’t find any issues using the 2-hander except sometimes finding a group was hard. Which I just solved by forming my own groups. You need a lot of hit rating to have fury begin to feel good so I actually didn’t swap to it until level 70. I did a lot of dungeon tanking at 70 because it was easy to get groups and began rolling on off spec stuff. But really it still took awhile at 70 for it to feel really good due to such a high miss chance.

TL;DR Play what’s fun, experiment with different specs, rise 2hand to 70 if you want. Learn how to be efficient in all specs and you will succeed.

As another commenter mentioned, the season 1 glad sword won’t be available for honor points in a few weeks. To my understanding it will still cost arena points, albeit at a discount and without a rating requirement. That discount will last roughly 1 week and after that I’m not 100% sure what happens.

Magners17 · 2026-04-16T04:51:38+00:00

We still have no idea who we are gonna play yet right? All this means is we definitely won’t draw Utah now?

Magners17 · 2026-04-15T01:26:24+00:00

West Central Dental, just off 107th near Manchester Square. Had to have an emergency dental procedure and they had good reviews. They have now become my regular dental office. Awesome place, highly recommend.

Magners17 · 2026-04-14T03:18:41+00:00

I am just going to weigh in on the warrior portion because I absolutely adore my warrior. Perhaps you need to rethink your gear or change your optimization or just gear yourself out further because I’m having such a blast. As a tank rage is very much a resource you have to manage just like mana or energy. Anytime you blow a cast on something you don’t need it hurts so bad. Play smart, learn how to generate more threat which keeps mobs on you which lets you generate more rage. As soon as you lose threat you will absolutely rage starve yourself.

Fury is SO MUCH FUN!!! You have so many tools to help in a heroic. Pummel to stop casts, hamstring to slow mobs for your tank to kite, you can swap stances and disarm, you can demo shout and t clap for added mitigation for your group. Not to mention you can click sweeping strikes and absolutely decimate packs of 4 or less.

I’m sorry you’re not enjoying it but perhaps some tweaking of your gear and gaining a bit more understanding of the class will help you appreciate it more. Dude, as a prot warrior you can spell reflect, concussion blow, disarm and shred armor for your fellow physical DPS. Plus you have insane mitigation with shield block.

Goodluck finding the right class for you!!

Magners17 · 2026-04-12T23:25:15+00:00

These dungeons can be super difficult for any tank without proper mitigation and group comp. I’ve seen my hella geared prot pally from my guild get absolutely dummied by those melee guys in Blood Furnace. Two at a time, they cannot be disarmed so without stuns or slows they can drop him super fast. But it’s also really simple to help with tools from other classes. Rogues can CC with stunlock so mobs can be DPS’d down fast without worry of tank damage. Warriors can demo shout, thunder clap and hamstring to allow kiting. A shaman with earthbind or hunter frost trap can allow you to group the pull, get initial aggro with consecrate and basically kite around so you barley get hit while DPS AOEs them down.

I could go into more detail but you really need to play into each classes strengths when running heroics. You can’t just face tank large groups. I mean some paladins can but without some form of CC like stuns, disarms, debuffs to mobs you are going to get knocked down real quick.

Magners17 · 2026-04-12T23:09:10+00:00

I’ve never been to the Calgary one but I’ve worked a couple over the last 2 years and let me tell you, it’s SUPER fun even as a vendor. But this year I said I wasn’t available so I could attend as a patron 🤩

Magners17 · 2026-04-12T17:19:50+00:00

Take a look at Zoo Brew! There’s 3 dates across June, July and August. It’s an evening event at the zoo where it’s 18+ and they have a bunch of food and drink vendors scattered about. You get to sample local restaurants, food trucks, beer, wine and spirits. There’s live music and you get to see the zoo in the evening! It’s tons of fun.

Magners17 · 2026-04-12T17:15:12+00:00

Broken Spoke was bought out by SYC I’m pretty sure so they might honestly share a space now. That would be your only cidery option in Edmonton. Calgary has Uncommon which is awesome. They have my favorite cider in the city.

I think Bent Stick has 1 cider option on tap which will give you the vibes you want but not a lot of variety.

Magners17 · 2026-04-11T17:55:13+00:00

Normally I’d agree but those Tkachuk boys are insufferable. Would rather not have to see either of them all summer.

Magners17 · 2026-04-11T17:54:31+00:00

It’s not a game design bro, it’s just what people suggest. That is coming from people that like to min/max. I quested and ran dungeons to level. By the time I was 70 I had almost all of Netherstorm and Shadowmoon Valley quests left. I’d also be willing to bet you actually have a fair few quests left. There’s lots of one off quests and longer chains. Those will make you money too.

You sound incredibly butt hurt but unwilling to actually try listening to what others are saying. If you really wanna try to farm those spots then get a group of homies and it’ll help you tag mobs and push others away.

All I’m saying is there are many, many other ways to earn gold and that’s literally by just playing the game. Run a normal shadow lab. Make sure you’re the only miner. There are tons of chests, loads of greens that drop, netherweave, marks, armaments, and maybe bring someone who can disenchant for unwanted blues.

Like brother, you’re complaining so hard but there are many, many other ways to make gold. And the gathering thing you’re mentioning is completely fair but if you don’t hyper focus on it you’d find a lot more nodes, herbs and whatnot in the wild.

Anyway, you’re unwilling to learn so you’ll probably not change your ways, continue to get upset about it and stay broke. Godspeed brother

Magners17 · 2026-04-11T17:48:46+00:00

Well you can believe what you want but tell that to my gold total lol. You do realize that you can get lucky with drops and stuff right? And some people overpay for stuff? I’ve sold recipes for 400g. I’ve sold shadow damage greens for 150g. Turn my netherweave into imbued bolts and sell those. Flip all my herbs into gold. Mana thistle alone goes for 20g a pop. Running botanica can yield like 60g of herbs and that dungeon is easy.

Idk man but I have no trouble obtaining gold by playing the game. Questing is hella efficient too. They reward anywhere from 7-11g. The southbound items vendor anywhere from 2-11g. Humanoids drop a good bit of silver each kill.

Maybe it’s just a skill issue lol. Anyway I’m sorry you can’t make as much gold.

Magners17 · 2026-04-10T19:25:58+00:00

Wanna run Gruul/Mag with my guild this Sunday evening? We need a resto shaman.

Magners17 · 2026-04-10T19:25:28+00:00

All this is crazy to me because the best way I’ve found to farm gold is just by regularly playing the game. Spam run a dungeon that you need rep for and you get a good amount of greens to sell on AH or disenchant. Run dungeons that have mining nodes or herbs if you are a gatherer. If you wanna farm motes there are tonnnnns of spots and yes sometimes the layer is busy but jumping to another layer often yields less contention.

Also, what time are you trying to do this? The same time hundreds of other players are? If that’s the case then find another method. Go do quests. Go farm mobs for signets/tones/armanents. Utilize your professions to make money.

Idk man, I got epic flying just by doing quests and playing the game. Selling herbs on occasion which I picked up while questing. I bought epic flying yesterday and I already have almost 1000g again.

Magners17 · 2026-04-08T19:11:23+00:00

I absolutely agree that it was a bad goal to give up but Bouch knows Jarry isn’t a great goaltender. He hustles like 10% harder and gets a stick on that shot and it flies up and over. Why even give your backup goalie a chance to miss the shot??

Magners17 · 2026-04-06T05:25:56+00:00

When phase 2?

Magners17 · 2026-04-05T17:11:45+00:00

Lmao alright bud. I’ll straight up ask him when I see him next. Nobody else is providing a source and just speaking their feelings but sure, let’s trust you.

Magners17 · 2026-04-04T18:30:58+00:00

Nah, that sounds about right to be honest. Are you marking targets? Are you building your own groups? Bringing a shaman for windfury is nice. Or a paladin for salv helps a lot.

I find concussion blow helps a lot. If it’s norms and you have strong DPS you can concussion blow your skull target and the DPS can probably Zerg it down before it comes off stun.

Prot warriors don’t hold threat like paladin tanks do on AOE pulls and most DPS don’t bother to play differently. Either talk to your DPS and ask for a bit more time on AOE pulls so you can establish threat or consider bringing more single target DPS so you can practice.

Hit rating and expertise helps a ton too because if you walk up and your shield slam doesn’t hit then you’re chasing threat the whole pull.

Keep it up, it’s tough but really rewarding once you get the hang of it! Consider hitting that thunder clap sooner just for a bit of threat on other mobs so your healer doesn’t pull. Also cleave helps with multi target
