BG forums lounge (Part 1)

I made my Horde guy on Skeram as well. Can’t even get into Herod.

Classic has turned out to be a ton more enjoyable then I ever imagined it would. I logged in to my ret on retail to get my weekly boxes and my item level is now 441. What’s weird is that somehow I feel much more rewarded on my lev 17 priest in classic just questing and leveling tailoring.

I’ve also died sooo many times.

I was talking about this in the other forum.

Even low level quests feel immersive again. I’m not following arrows or shaded blobs on a map then sparkles on the ground.

I actually got excited from getting a green item as a quest reward.

For the first time in over a decade, I said “ooo, silverleaf!”

It felt nice to get an Arcane Intellect from a run-by Mage and in return, giving them Fortitude.

Seeing someone taking on 2 quest mobs, getting low on heath and saving them with a Lesser Heal.

All these nice, positive things began to fade in Wrath.

At level 17 I am still getting excited for getting a white quality armor upgrade.

Wrath is always on a pedestal because it was really the first xpac to give quality of life instead of now to where we expect the quality of life.

I would also like to point out general zone design. Retail started this jumbled mess of zone design in Legion and playing classic has made me realize how much I hate it. Zones like argus, broken shore, Naz… they are vertically designed zones where to get to an objective on your minimap makes you run around the rocky mtns.

I too get excited for even white stuff if it’s an upgrade. Minor things like that, you can notice the difference in performance. I can’t wait to do Shadowfang Keep (my favorite dungeon of all time) and get Arugal’s gear. I specifically remember those being good for a very long time. Granted, this would be on my Undead Priest. My Human Paladin on Grob… I’m not sure what to look forward to.

I did have fun in Wrath. Death Knights were cool and Blood DPS was very very awesome, so don’t get me wrong. I do hope they come out with it again (but separate from this).

That’s a good way to describe Argus for sure. It may be aesthetically appealing but that’s about the extent of it.

If you think blood dk is tanky in wrath, try out 1h shield on a ret paladin. It’s nuts. It kinda emerged on private servers but it makes ret pallys only counter class a shadow priest.

Wait… in Classic?

Wrath I meant

lol ok, I was gonna say. I’ve been using 2h this whole time and doin it wrong!

During Wrath, I liked Prot Paladin. They were such good tanks and the rotation was fun and adequate. However, if the chance arises again, I’ll try it since I’ll have dual spec by then.

Unless you are raid tanking, you can actually tank all heroics in wrath as ret with 1h/shield and righteous fury.

Looking back at it through the private servers, rets were more cheese than what they were already considered lol.

I want to extend an invite again to the forum regulars to come and join us. It doesn’t matter if we clashed here, you’re still welcomed. No grudges, no cliques excluding you.

+1 to what Floyln said. Come have fun with us.

Also, I would like it to be known that I slaughtered Jadei in a duel. For now, I will take my place as the superior priest.

My lock is taken by the militia but my hunter, which I plan to start within the next 4 or 5 days, will be all yours.

So many lol… When I started I was secretly telling myself it wasn’t that bad and I’d be bad if I died, I was super wrong :joy:

I get so greedy with Mana/health that it’s lead to a few deaths. Every time I do the math “well I have just enough Mana to kill this mob before I have to drink”. Then one of two different things happens.

  1. The mob resists 3 spells in a row and I’m oom and he’s full health or
  2. A pat shows up and I’m oom

Still hella fun though!
