that guy has a speed buff
if something was killing you , you coudnt just run away from it without getting dazed or back stabbed or chased down.

It’s called strafing and you can really guarantee that you won’t get dazed by jumping and turning as the attack comes in. Practice this and you’ll be able to strafe in a straight line while timing your jumps to take a guaranteed frontal hit.

I outran wolves many many many times at like level 3.
While Classic is undertuned for every content phase except for the one with Naxx, it is not farfetched for level 40s to kill a 62 elite with two raid groups. The majority of attacks will miss, but a decent amount (around the ballpark of 20%) will hit. They also were geared close to twink quality as well and they even then just barely got him down.
Meh. Still not as impressive as lvl 1’s killing Hogger.
I love the elitism of some private server people. I mean, you are obviously the only ones who actually stick with things when the going gets tough…oh wait.
Gonna go drink my coffee now.
should have
Nah…they still have Ony to down and maybe even faceroll MC if that gets opened in Beta.

Yes we know. 6.5 million at the end of vanilla were just bad players.
glad to see you finally accepting the truth!
Nah…I always knew I wasn’t a leet player.
I’d get the “Behind the Curve” achievement if there were one and then “Still behind the Curve” when that came out.

This… these guys have spent several days at level 40. Twinking them and even pushing higher content and crafting.
Level 40 creates a very unique meta… get 70-80 peeps together, many of eared like level 50 players and yeah… it’s no wonder.
I’ll be willing to bet that many of them were hunters too whose white damage were leading the meters. Add to that their ability to feign death and ping pong kite the boss? Come on man.,. THIS is what makes Vanilla awesome… not easy!

I really hope this is the case.
It is disconcerting to watch streamers roflstomp dungeons like a group of fully-geared level 60s. That was the only time I ever saw content cleared so easily when I played in Vanilla and TBC.
Classic dungeon runs on Twitch look like every dungeon run since Wrath to me.
I hope they are not tuning dungeons down to cater to casuals, yet again.

How did the tank hold threat? 1.11 tanking changes seriously effed things up then.

I don’t think a tank did without the hunters cheesing feign and ping ponging him. I haven’t seen the Nathanos fight, but I know on the SM Cath run, without FD, it would have been impossible for Asmon to hold aggro.
Everything checks out 80 people in very high quality gear etc taking on an Elite Mob.
The only reason it took ‘raid groups’ to take on Nathanos back in the day is because groups of Hordies would be around healing him etc, making the fight last far longer.
Also it’s 1.12
I wouldn’t call it roflstomping at any rate. I watched several streamers running Zul’Farak… and it took so long that trash was respawning before they could pull the bosses on some. Some bosses proved impossible for them as well.
I recall in TBC, Shattered Halls being the bain of most people’s existence… and me (on a prot pali) and my two pali buddies would pug two DPS and “roflstomp” it every single time. And that was long before I ever got into raiding.
As a whole, players are more savvy about encounters… and it’s not going to be “hard” for the average person to do any of the content except maybe Naxx.
But it’s OK. These guys doing it now with low levels, and use doing it at appropriate levels… are going to have FUN doing it.
