I was initially excited for Classic Cataclysm, but then I remember what it was like when I first started playing (during MOP). I had no heirlooms, and I did struggle with certain classes and I wasn’t satisfied until I tried hunter. But then in dungeons, I remember doing terrible DPS and it seemed like most people had heirlooms and did all the damage. I eventually managed to do heroic dungeons to get JP to buy heirlooms. Should I expect Classic Cataclysm to be frustrating this time around until I obtain heirlooms?

of course. everyone will be fully decked out in tier 10 and you won’t.
I assume you are being sarcastic, but I hated being in dungeons and doing almost zero damage. And the one time I tried a BG I was one-shotted over and over . Actually, I am being to think that most people who play Classic Cataclysm will have been playing Classic Wrath so probably a lot of people will have heirlooms. I remember the game being much easier when I got my heirloom bow (since I really only played hunter when I started).
Do you mean from 80-85, after people have upgraded and gotten all the new heirlooms, or before?
Or do you mean just leveling alt after alt from level 1?
Heirlooms are the number 1 reason I’m not interested in Cataclysm Classic. I had most heirlooms by the time it came out first time around but I hated feeling like I needed them to contribute to dungeons and not die in one hit in battlegrounds.

The damage output is not that important when you’re leveling. Ofc heirlooms give better stats than the quest gear probably, but thats not indicative of your skill. I honestly wouldn’t worry about being out dps’d in dungeons while you’re leveling. Have fun! Its only important once you get into raids and progression content.

In Wrath classic folks were getting kicked from the first dungeon for not being in full Sunwell gear.
