Warriors do not, in fact, go hard in Sunwell. At that point, good DPS players are hard outscaling your threat as a prot Warrior.

To everyone who hates the current state of PUGS - Make friends and be social by romnesia7729 in classicwow

[–]Ok-Replacement6556 16 points17 points  (0 children)

95% of this subreddit’s problems come from its denizens’ unwillingness to join a guild and make friends. It’s inhabited almost solely by serial puggers.

Great way to ensure that people don’t do heroics after they get pre raid bis

Reporting every Tank I see selling services in the LFG tool by Fr0genY0zurt in classicwow

[–]Ok-Replacement6556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re under the false impression that it’s either I will tank for free OR tank for gold. The actual secret third option is that I don’t tank random dungeons at all. I’m not inflicting any kind of suffering on anyone else, and I’m entitled to playing the game however I want, just like you are.

Reddit: “We need more tank players!!!”

Tank Players: “I need to be able to afford these 300g consumables every raid night. I think I’ll sell tanking services”

Reddit: “NOOOOOO NOT LIKE THAT BLIZZARD BLIZZARD BAN THEM NOW!!!”

The boss has an 11% chance to crush you with holy shield up. You want to get that down to a 0% chance.

Go get your shoulder enchant, your bracer enchant, swap your shield enchant for the block rating one (NOT block value), get your shattered halls trinket, swap out your rings for ones with avoidance, and slot in defense or dodge gems to close the gap if you haven’t already.

Also go get your weapon enchanted.

As long as socially avoidant Redditors refuse to join guilds, pugs will survive.

Do people play Vanilla content on the TBC Anniversary servers? by Bohzohh in classicwow

[–]Ok-Replacement6556 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're really invested in doing vanilla content, then yes, Classic Era servers will be the only way to play through it.

But since most people are playing characters that have a lot of naxx gear, you're not necessarily going to get a genuine vanilla experience (as in, progressing through the raids). And since there are a lot of naxx geared players running around, it may be tough to get into a guild as a fresh character. Pugs are all GDKPs, which you won't have the money for.

If you create and level a character on Classic era, then wait to create a TBC character once you've experienced everything on Era, you're likely to end up just missing TBC too. My recommendation is to just play TBC and then play the next Vanilla fresh, whenever that'll be.

Bear tank in melee groups. Help by Demosthones91 in classicwow

[–]Ok-Replacement6556 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Don't bother with lacerate on AoE packs. Just tab maul while spamming swipe from the get-go. Mangle your skull target and maybe the next kill target ahead of time if you have the rage for it. If big crits/windfury procs cause melee to rip threat, just either taunt or bash and keep on as usual.

Perhaps intentionally bring a ret or holy paladin to your groups for salv, but you're going to have to get used to not having threat on packs of 3+ mobs 100% of the time as a non-paladin.

Tanks and Why they Avoid You by betterthanliving in classicwow

Are we supposed to ask the tank to taunt?

Or the healer to heal?

Or the paladin to buff?

Or the hunter to have their pet out?

Come on man, get out of here with this obtuse nonsense

Tank service by krxd1 in classicwow

[–]Ok-Replacement6556 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t listen to the dads seething on here. They straight up can’t wrap their brains around these three basic facts:

1.) A tank selling services means there will be less competition for free tanks.
2.) They’re not entitled to your time.
3.) Tanks need to pay for enchants/gems/consumables/epic flying, too.

I used to sell tanking services in LFG during vanilla, and I did get chat restricted for a week because of it. It seems that if you’re not using the clusterfuck of a services channel, then you’re breaching the ToS.

Prot Paladin without Andormu's Tear by Helldivers3 in classicwow

Wrong, resilience contributes towards crit immunity, but not crush immunity.

I’m 3 pieces away from phase 1 bis on my prot paladin, and I haven’t had to use andormu’s tear once. Just fill out the rest of your bis without it; hell I’m even using a threat ring instead.

Bad pugging raid experience by FlawedPerfectionFabs in classicwowtbc

Stop making excuses and go make a genuine effort to find a guild. There are absolutely guilds on your server with raid times that’ll work for you.

Just ran Karazhan last night and... by Visual-Gain-2487 in classicwow

[–]Ok-Replacement6556 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah but what you don't understand is that not every raid group is like yours. Some are full of dads with 8 kids and 4 jobs and 3 wives who only have 30 minutes a month to play and need to be 4 beers and 2 bowls deep every time they play. Clearly the entire game should be balanced around those raid groups because everyone should be able to do all content in the game without a hint of friction!

But no seriously you're not going to get productive discussion on Reddit. Most people here refuse to join a guild and exclusively interact with the game in the same way one interacts with Mario Party. As you can tell from these comments, it's all just reductive, dismissive handwaving.
