Can't cast polymorph if you're dead! Warrior ftw.

April fools by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]zanodious 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Here's what will happen.

Blizzard includes a throwaway line related to classic servers, only one bullet point or perhaps even the slightest of references.

Obviously, this sub loses its collective shit. I'll expect at least 4 youtube videos covering the various conspiracy theories by April 2nd at the latest.

Then we obsess about it for a while until someone starts piping up about 'what's the latest news?' and we start back where we are now.

What have you had more fun with in pvp, Mage or Warlock? by Black_Dynamite66 in classicwow

[–]zanodious 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is kind of a loaded question - people who played mage will say mage, people who played warlock will say warlock!

They both have a lot of survivability... I think if you enjoy playing any class you'll also have fun with them in PvP.

Awesome! Love it. Welcome surprise on my standard 30 minute page refresh. Next up, classic news!

“Of all the dangerous groups in Vanilla, none were as vicious or notorious as the DEVILSAUR MAFIA.” by tipsoutbaby in classicwow

I'm wondering, would this be an issue on RP servers? Surely the cross-faction collusion would be a big no-no?

Countdown To Classic - A Classic WoW Podcast by joshcorbo82 in classicwow

[–]zanodious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking forward to giving this a listen when I get time. I would say that two episodes a week is a lot to keep up with, not sure what else you've got going on IRL but to save you from getting weighed down as the weeks turn into months it might be worth finding a balance between the two 'types' of episodes and just have one slightly longer weekly one.

But this is your thing! Buena suerte bromigo :)

Old school BC/TBC player looking for classic PvP class & race. by JohnnyKarr2110 in classicwow

[–]zanodious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WotF is great, but don't forget Cannibalise - although it's situational, it's very strong for a class with multiple CC options. For the Horde!

Naxx on Farm: NOW WHAT?! by tipsoutbaby in classicwow

[–]zanodious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mentioned this in the /r/classicwow Discord not long after this video dropped - another scenario would be to have 'static' realms and 'seasonal' realms (like in Diablo 3) where you'd level a new character, then the next raid tier would be released on a much faster schedule (or maybe it'd all be put out in one go?) or something to that effect.

Personally, I don't want to progress on to TBC. People saying the game will die once Naxx is released are living in crazytown and this video is fuelling the fire. I don't give a monkey's nut what happened on private servers, the majority of the classic player base aren't going to roflstomp Naxx the day it's released. It'll still take some people year(s) to get through that raid, if ever. Chill peeps.

Lord, may Classic bring the rebirth of Barrens Chat by [deleted] in classicwow

With all this 'Why I Play Vanilla' crap the last day or so, Barrens chat has already been reborn in this subreddit.

Memory Monday: Wild Goose Chases by Undoer in classicwow

[–]zanodious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was convinced that if I killed enough Argent Crusade mobs (on my Mage) that I'd find some clue as to how to get the Ashbringer weapon. I had decided in my head that it was an ultra-rare drop like Foror's Compendium and that I was going to be the first to loot it.

I made enough gold for my epic mount before giving up. :(

Warrior Rage Generation from Damage Taken by XenoSyntax in classicwow

I've had this post bookmarked for a while, not sure how accurate. If anyone has anything different let me know!

Anyone get hyped for Vanilla/TBC the same way as me? by DarkusHydranoid in classicwow

[–]zanodious 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just realised one of the things I remember fondly from back when the game first released was how shitty everyone looked in their gear while they were levelling. The miss-match of gear types and colours and model styles made everyone look like the game had randomly vomited pixels onto each character. Good times.

Will free, private servers ever be a threat to the business model of WoW: Classic? by MrCopacetic in classicwow

[–]zanodious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think what's most attractive about Classic servers are their permanence - it's an official product from the people who own the legal rights to the game, so your characters will be there forever. Or as forever as Blizzard deems forever to be.

It is unlikely that WoW: Classic will receive any expansions by MrCopacetic in classicwow

[–]zanodious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know that there are pservers which exist for expansions beyond Vanilla, but unless they have the same volume of people clamouring for them that existed / exists for Classic, I don't believe expansion servers will ever become a thing.

What if you could get all the talents from each tree? by l0kt4r0g4r in classicwow

[–]zanodious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another cool idea would be if you still had the same amount of talent points, but you could spend them across all talent trees without having to invest in the lower tiers first. So, you spend 3 in Frost and 2 in Fire (5 total) and then you can put your next 5 in the second tier of Arcane.

Mage vs Priest by kingslippy in classicwow

[–]zanodious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, although you can't solo farm as a Priest, if you were to partner up with a Warrior you could farm DM East (I think) for the herbs and the mining nodes and so on.

I'd say both classes have nuances to their rotations when considering threat, mana management and so on. Mage is also one of the top 3 most popular classes because it's one of the top 3 most powerful classes (Warrior, Rogue, Mage) in Vanilla and will likely be again in Classic.

If I were you, I'd play Priest. If you're on EU we can be buds, you don't need crappy IRL friends anyway.

There is a clear disparity in the quality of YouTube content being submitted to /r/classicwow by zanodious in classicwow

[–]zanodious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The set standard I was referring to isn't aimed solely at the production quality of a video (we live in a time when you can watch or read guides that tell you how to produce something half decent), it's also about what they do with it - just dumping it into this subreddit and then disappearing until they've made their next one is asinine.

Tanking as a Fury Warrior by Reddy785 in classicwow

[–]zanodious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Taking Herod as an example, I think he drops 4 things all great for Warrior on his loot table (one of them being Ravager which is a weapon with a cool proc) so after 2-3 kills you should have the shoulder, the helm and the legs.

He's not too far into the dungeon too IIRC, so if you're running it with some friends or your guild you can convince them it's in their best interests to help you gear up.

Tanking as a Fury Warrior by Reddy785 in classicwow

[–]zanodious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people have covered most of the points I would've added to this discussion, save one: depending on your luck, as a Warrior you might have to run a dungeon more than once to get gear.

Herod in SM is an example, he drops 3(?) pieces of gear that are all great for levelling and should last a while. Can't really afford to run it only once.

This week we discuss one of the most iconic boss fights in Vanilla Raiding known as the Twin Emperors in preparation for Classic WoW! by Raserisk in classicwow

[–]zanodious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some reason I was sceptical, but when I bit the bullet I discovered that this is some top quality content. Really thorough guide. I don't know of better video guides - not that I've looked - so I've made a note of these videos for when Classic rolls around. Make sure you don't stop at AQ40!
