Reckoning is better in classic than it was in vanilla!

Reckoning is working even better than it was vanilla. If you just try to get it to work like normal all it will do is reset your swing timer. You have to make a macro with /startattack /stopattack, then just spam it between swings. As soon as you are crit you immediately retaliate with 2 swings. I melt prebis warriors that crit me. Legit camped a prebis 60 fury warrior when i was level 49 because he just fed me crits and got destroyed.

Reckbomb sit stacking also still works but requires a little finesse. You have to sit, then stand the exact moment the mob attacks you, and you get the stack. Once you get the rythm down you can get reck stacks pretty reliably.

It could be x10 better still feels like :poop: to play

I think it is much more fun and effective than ret in solo pve, and it is arguably the best pvp damage spec

The one story I remember most about reckoning was how some guy had a rogue feed him crits for like an hour and then proceeded to one shot Kazzak.

Within 24 hours reckoning was nerfed.

Yes it used to stack indefinitely. They nerfed it to 4 stacks which = 5 swings in 1 swing. Still more than enough to one shot clothies/leather and chunk mail/plate
