Nathanos just went down to level 40s

So?

Many hunters didn’t even think/know to do that back then much less at lvl 40. At lvl 40 I was letting my pet tank everything and if my pet couldn’t tank it I couldn’t kill it.

In beta I know much better and have solo’d, yes 100% solo’d Stitches at lvl 26 via kiting him, managing mana and distance perfectly.

Hunters used properly are the most OP class for solo’ing/dragging down an OP Elite even if higher lvls so long as they have space.

Here’s a link to the video someone recording me doing it. Few caster lowbies tried and failed, and he was/is yellow when in/near darkshire cus lvl 30s couldnt handle him, aka temporary.

Hunters used to kite things all the time in vanilla. It’s how you ended up with world bosses in major cities. Wasn’t there also a quest in un’goro for hunters for an epic bow where you had to kill a mob almost completely by kiting? (never mained a hunter)

Things get significantly harder when technology only allows you to do one action every 5 seconds :joy: :rofl: :joy:

Oh no no no, vanilla content was the hardest. What do we do now vanillabros? keyboard turns We can’t let these twitch zoomers defile our content before we the chosen ones, the ones who wanted classic the most have to sit outside the streamer beta? clicks spells on bar

Blizzard must have obviously messed something up! still plays with dialup internet My years of experience on funservers told me that vanilla was harder than any mythic boss! has no addons installed NO NO NO! This cannot be! The values must be wrong, blizzard has to be lying! still thinks sit to crit is right I’m going to boycott this abomination of classic cause it isn’t the true vanilla. Am I right Nostfriends? Secretly was never going to sub anyways But first lemme go on the forums and complain!

The numbers are accurate. The groups of people that would wipe at 60 were bad.

No, they’re just not interested in making changes to Classic just for the sake of catering to private server players or folks with bad memories.

Which is negated by have 80+ people there, and several hunters who do not suffer from glancing blows.

Yes, but no one would QQ bout a 60 hunter kiting something. These ppl QQing bout hunters kiting things 10+lvls above them miss the fact that most unders didn’t really get a full grasp on kiting till MUCH later levels.

115

there is no gear or stat inflation in Vanilla so it’s not nearly as big of a dropoff from 60 to 40 as it sounds. For example, there’s a bigger jump from 60 to 65 than from 40 to 60.

116

Its pretty true, the only part that made it hard was the people you were playing with. Used to get really frustrated with hunters especially; they tend to be great at accidentally pulling enough to wipe everyone…

117

I don’t remember him being that difficult. You definitely didn’t want to go near that hill on your own though. The difficulty was the swarm of Horde players in the zone flocking to defend him when you engaged. I’ve seen that hill and the surrounding area littered with skeletons.

Now I do wonder how long this fight took. There should have been some difficulty in hitting him with that level difference.

118

They stacked TONS of hunters so the level difference doesn’t matter as much as people think

No gear or stat inflation in wow.
Imagine saying this when AQ40 and Naxx gear exists. Ilvl 89 for might of menethil and 90 for atiesh.

People saying nathanos should be one-shotting people… The warriors are sitting unbuffed at about 2500 health. Barely any mobs in the entire game hit that hard.

Nathanos is a chump, he’s got like 60k hp or something meant to be killed by a group of five Lv.60s.

The apparent easiness of classic has me really worried.

Damage from mobs looks really low, this has nothing to do with player skill, just simple damage.

123

This is preposterous. Full raids did go after him, but that is purely because of horde interference. The dude himself could be killed by a couple people… probably solod.

Since stacking hunters works so well I can seen hunter being elevated and wanted more in groups…especially raid groups.

125

speaking of which that brings up an interesting point. At level 60 in dungeon blues, since that’s probably what people remember, how many hp should a warrior have? Someone with beta access needs to check player hp then and now at level 40.

126

Nathanos has 75K HP.

I find this hard to believe that people are prattling on about it, but since some people are adamant on comparing him to a Raid Boss, Lucifron has 351K. Onyxia has close to 1.1 Million.

Let that sink in.

127

Beat me to it, back in the day Nathanos got raided a lot and if memory serves well, the alliance wipes didn’t come from Nathanos but from horde jumping in. It was near impossible to kill Nathanos without a bunch of hordies trying to save him.
