Welcome back to vanilla WoW everyone, with hybrid tax complaints initiated our journey is complete!

Don’t even get me started on how hunters couldn’t raid heal or tank.

Wait for the BC classic servers I guess?

How about …no? The fun part of classic was that since every class could or rather should not do every role it forces guilds and raids to bring every class. Otherwise you get what bfa has. No class identity and everyone heals, dps, tanks… no class buffs not really any reason to bring a class. Could run dungeon with 1 tank 3 priest and 6 mages lmfao

Not even close to to the same thing. Hybrids get teased with talent trees giving them almost enough tools to dps or tank, but no gear to back those specs up, and on top of that the “hybrid tax” on dps, ensuring that no hybrids would ever do as much dps as a pure damage class.

I love playing Druid now, and leveling up back in Vanilla was good, but it all changes at 60.

Welcome to the classic life mate. Broken specs are just a part of the landscape.

Nice interview at this point Theloras you need to just make the following mega-thread: Guide for DPS Paladins. Then carefully break down Spelladin and Ret, their talents, necessary items, functions, pros, cons, and BiS by phase.
