one frost mage doesn’t have the damage/mana to aoe farm several packs…

164

Wow that logic…
No, you bring one frost mage to cc the adds while your group burns them down one by one. You don’t even need to stack aoe.
Also, ZG farming calls.

165

Btw, you know ZG farming was nerfed right and at one point made impossible. But people didn’t know about it because it wasn’t “documented”. You wouldn’t know unless you were actually doing it.

As for if they reverted those changes in 1.12? I guess we’ll see.

166

You’d have to show some proof. I’m not about to deny patch notes, but ZG farming was 100% a thing for a period of time nonetheless.

167

Why are you talking about serious bugs as if they were Class design? I said if they went with earlier Class design, the same situation would arise, bugs wouldn’t be included. If you want to include stuff that obviously wasn’t intended, then lets’s talk about how easy everything would be with 1500 stacks of Reckoning.

168

It sure was. But Blizzard put the nerf bat on that and many other AoE farming places quickly. As for proof, anyone asking for it already knows it’ll be impossible to find. Especially it was a ninja nerf.

People also didn’t know rolling ignites used to have unlimited stacks. Again, if you weren’t there, you wouldn’t know.

Whoa-ho-hoooo there Mrs. Super Computer. I think when I started I had a 433mhz Pentium 3 and maybe 64mb RAM? I remember upgrading it to 128. Ballin. At least I had dial-up internet to balance it out. :neutral_face:

You know what, I really don’t care.
Anything is possible outside my knowledge, but you making claims without showing any proof is the standard of every wannabee on these forums. Keep it up.

171

At the end of the day, most of this stuff can’t be proven. Was Vanilla, even as of 1.1 difficult? No way. It was just more time consuming and punishing for stupid people screwing up for various reasons.

But the game was different back in 1.1 than 1.12. And there are some of us that weren’t 12 years old back then, and actually knew how to play. I’m not here to vouch for mid/low level dungeons. Frankly, I don’t know. I power gamed Vanilla. I didn’t read or do many quests unless they were straight forward and easy.

But this whole idea of “proof” or it didn’t happen is … i don’t even know what the word is. Inflexible? Like, is it really that unbelievable that ninja changes happened all the time?

It’s like, if I used to watch a certain TV show as a 10 year old. Am I going to tell someone who was 30 at the time, that what they remember is wrong???!!!

I grant that you could be correct. But, trying to call out people without proof? Get real.

173

ZG farming is done by a max level mage? in a different dungeon. Can a single mage AOE farm SM? No not really.

174

Not trying to call anyone out. Granted, the people now who flood the forums and are waiting for Classic are NOT of my generation. And there are probably those are are indeed spouting nonsense. It seems like everyone has an agenda.

Not all of us have one. Just trying to get some perspective out there.

Again, this logic…
Look at what I posted dude.

176

That’s fair.

177

No but these bugs did make the instances harder during early classic compared to 1.12. Was it as bad as some people remember? that all depends on the people. If you are saying 2 hand tanking is proof that it’s easier for people, I will also note that 2 hand tanking was 100% a thing during vanilla.

I will add this I had to change to a shield In either BRD or Sunken temple. Cant remember if I was able to get Eranikus going 2 hand. But I do remember getting the shield and using it from that point on.

I wanna say that computer was like $1100 back then? My dad had a friend build it for me as a graduation present “to use for school”. Luckily the friend knew I played PC games and built me a gaming computer and not a “for school” computer. :joy:

They don’t have all the 1.12 data.

Damage is low.

181

no, the damage is accurate.

It’s also completely 1.12 authentic.

I find it funny how most of the no changes people don’t realize that the content in 1.12 was heavily nerfed (directly and indirectly) from what it was when it first launched. The 30% higher dps (a ballpark estimate) compared to 1.2 is equivalent to a ~23% nerf to all the hp of the mobs. So you are probably looking at the equivalent of a 30% global nerf to early content at least. That is a HUGE change!
