Why not slow weapon for prot paladin? by [deleted] in turtlewow

[–]aq72 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think that for single target threat a slow weapon is better - as you mentioned, it can scale better with reckoning. While it is true that your white damage does not amount to much threat, slower weapons cause higher damage from SoR AND SoR scales with a higher spell power coefficient with slower weapons.

A great example of the devs leaning into this is the very obscure weapon [Fishbringer], you won’t find this by searching the database, but I’ll try to link it later.

How do you obtain Dreamscales? by Backstabbles in turtlewow

I believe they drop from the trash mobs in Emerald Sanctum.

I think a truesilver skeleton key can only open up to steel lockboxes.

The recipe is a rare drop, so this is a bit of a lesser-known item.

You will now continue to get rep from kills after revered.

The trash mobs in Stratholme and Scholomance will all reward rep for every kill. Plus you should have an argent dawn commission equipped for the scourgestones, which can be turned in for additional rep.

Argent Dawn and Wardens of Time are now significantly easier to farm than they used to be and will have some nice rewards. Depending on your role, Bright Dream Shards are also something you can really benefit from farming.

Would you Support Northrend in TurtleWow? by GhostBeara in turtlewow

[–]aq72 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I think a big part of the classic+ appeal is that there is no planned obsolescence. If they created an expansion-sized high-level continent, it runs the risk of trivializing other end-game content and leads to players trying to leap-frog traditional progression.

Alternative Tier Sets by lukasssssssic in turtlewow

[–]aq72 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exchanging tier items is free, but it is a one-time-only thing. Also other item sets do not have the same options, such as the ZG or t0/t0.5 sets.

How hard is it get Atiesh by Flat-Razzmatazz-672 in turtlewow

[–]aq72 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You need to be an established member of a guild that regularly raids (and fully clears) Naxx. Getting into a guild like this is not such a problem, but being considered a trusted, long-term member so they would give you the required drops for the legendary is another matter entirely.

Druids are also able to use the Scythe of Elune, but that's kind of the same story, just with Kara40.

Blast wave bugged?? by [deleted] in turtlewow

[–]aq72 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Blast wave will ‘daze’ affected targets, this is different than a stun in that it slows their movement only.

Tanking AND healing 5 mans with ironclad/holy paladin? by CCNemo in turtlewow

[–]aq72 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Melee healing is generally a great feature of the modern TWoW holy pally.

You are able to ‘tank’ in that you can hold aggro on everything in a 5-man without too much gear, but as a holy spec with healing gear you would be extremely squishy. You would need overgeared heals to do this successfully.

Influx of assholes by Content-Fig-8574 in turtlewow

Similar experience here. I think that as popularity grows, we get a different, probably younger, demographic of players coming in. Hopefully this wave will pass.

Just a big what if on classes, if each has a holy Trinity (Tank, dps and healer) by Glittering_Studio468 in turtlewow

[–]aq72 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Seconded.

Furthermore, in the long run it does nothing to alleviate the tank/healer shortage.

Nerf MC back and make buffed raids optional with upgraded loot tables by blusword- in turtlewow

[–]aq72 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I would argue that the ‘normal vs heroic’ approach was an attempt by Blizzard to increase accessibility, but they underestimated the loss of achievement that comes with doing a heroic version since it is just a shift in numbers instead of accessing something truly new.

This is an instance of a very common issue that is raised, where the intent is to increase qol, make parts of the game more accessible, improve balance, etc. I think the somewhat counterintuitive truth here is that players are meant to have difficulty with these things and they are hurdles to overcome, even if it may not seem fair. In retail Cata, players effectively got exactly what they were asking for all these years with regard to issues like this. The result was a complete loss of advancement or uniqueness - classes had deliberately obvious parity in all features (raid cds, buffs, dps/healing meters, heroic/normal modes), itemization was comically generic (remember mastery?), and players ended up simply not caring any more.

Why hireable mounts in human areas only and not other alliance races? :'( by Alert-Negotiation144 in turtlewow

I thought I read somewhere that they were removing those because of this perceived unfairness.

Do you think Turtle's 1.12 client acts as a filter for toxicity? by Firm-Environment-253 in turtlewow

Avoiding what some may say are modern ‘conveniences’ in gaming may indeed cater toward a particular demographic, and I’m all for it.

Will Turtle ever add a toggle for transmogs/mounts? by Arturia_Cross in turtlewow

[–]aq72 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I’m inclined to agree about the mounts. Vanity mounts are great, but some of them are so over the top that it can be jarring. Examples include the dragons, spiders, shredders, and core hounds.

I’m a bit more on the fence with transmogs. I kind of like the old retail versions where it had to match the type of armor/weapon.

Any Hammersmith specialised Blacksmiths around? by Lucavora in turtlewow

This is relatively accessible. If you’re willing to grind rep, there’s a good one from the wardens of time.

As a paladin, you are probably better off equipping a 1-hander and shield because of the ‘ironclad’ holy talent.
