It hasn’t been too bad Alliance side all things considered. A lot of Stockades spellcleave groups, but they aren’t too hard to avoid and 9/10 groups in the group finder tool are chill and cool to bring whatever.
A lot of turds out leveling though who will snipe mobs/nodes.
I will respectfully agree to disagree with your assessment that its right to exclude the paladin because you want all yhe loot for yourself. Roll against them and let the dice decide who gets it. Bring a priest; guess what? The priest healer is going to be competing with the mage/warlock for gear. Bring a druid, well there’s a relative lack of good leather healing gear, so guess what? Theyre competing against other casters. Why are you so special you shouldnt have to compete for your gear? I say this as a warrior player myself. You’re having to compete with the pally for your gear? Cry me a river. That’s the game, suck it up buttercup.
Just do the dungeon as a healer and roll on the loot. That’s what I do. One war got mad and left. I just said “I don’t really care” and moved on. Browns are a dime a dozen. Let them get mad at you
I tanked everything in classic as a full on ret pally with a 2h up to ST or something. Just put on RF n SoC n hit things hard with your 2h. Judgment of command will be your taunt. N HoJ your savior.
