Op is just jealous you’re having fun. Keep fighting the good fight!
Hunter 
is most funnest class in Level 60 WoW, probably only because Druids are so clunky and annoying until TBC. 
vanilla would have been more interesting if they actually recreated it patch by patch

We pushed for the 1:1 but the private server warrior mains cried murder to blizzard because they’re not a DPS until 1.10; they were worse than ret.
Also pre-nerf hunters were really damn good.

Exactly.
I’m glad this game is a playable option. That said we are essentially playing on the catch up patch before TBC launch(ed/es) and that makes a difference.
People like OP are so weird.
I would say most people didn’t do it for “nostalgia” they did it because they enjoy Classic WoW as a game and want to take their previous experience and build on it to make this journey better than the last.
You can’t recapture the feelings from 20 years ago or even from 2019 and most people are intelligent enough to know this. Most people…

I am only maining a warrior in Fresh until TBC launches. Then I’m going to either switch to resto shaman or combat rogue.
DPS warriors are going to have a rude awakening when they find out they’re going to be mid DPS in TBC raids. lol
you’ll regret it come tbc. shammy is god tier.
Dont worry, tbc prepatch theyll all be on locks and hunters…play what you like…and other people will do the same. I personall love dung tanking on my pally with 3 mages or a bunch of warriors lol…ez mode

I created a mage, but only as an alt, not because it’s overpowered, but because I played one during Classic BC. I never rolled a mage in Vanilla. I also wish Classic hadn’t been rushed as much as it has been, because I really enjoy making alts and playing them to their fullest potential. I love doing all the dungeons and as much questing as I can along the way.
Five-man dungeons are my favorite content. Raids, while fun in their own way, can feel repetitive and boring, but I still try to complete them eventually. Some might say, “Just go play Era.” The problem there is that around 70% of leveling seems to be boosting, which makes finding an actual group to run 5-man dungeons with incredibly difficult.
I would not say “mid”. If I recall mages, hunters, locks and warriors take turns topping charts during the various phases but they are all in the top mix throughout TBC.
I guess if your saying Warriors drop from undisputed king of DPS to not then yeah that does happen.
nostalgia? what’s that?
the re-release of classic is all about RMT & abuses.
yea they took the “invite” approach back in 2004. Much of the classes were balanced around leveling/dungeons/pvp/class fantasy.
Kevin Jordan also said they ditched the “hybrid” design intent very early in vanilla, and this only applied to druids. His intention was for each spec to hold up on its own in a myriad of situations/content.
If you go back and listen to his Countdown to Classic interviews, you’ll find he largely didn’t have many changes for classes, even druids he thought were pretty good. But paladin he stated to have failed the worst, their class fantasy just didn’t line up with how they were being played.
It would have been a lot more fun to have them give us the old talent trees.
Go look up the druid and priest 1.1 trees.
31 Pt Druid Resto talent was Innervate

Only at the start when theyre forced to go arms, by mid tbc once they have the expertise fury warrior will be top again just like it was in the first tbc classic
what if I played a warrior in 2004
i’d second that. Would be an interesting playthrough if you could do nax with the old talent trees.
You wouldn’t have the old talents by thte time Naxx hit.
Its all about what people have the most fun with.
Some people just want the easiest class to play that requires the least amount of thinking. Some want to play the hardest challenge, and roll like a solo SF HC warrior. Others want the ones that will top the charts, or be the most overpowered in PvP. Some want to play something they never have before.
I went into classic HC ready to roll warrior because I never played it. When none of my friends wanted to play a healer, I rolled paladin which was my first max character… after sacrificing the pally twice to save my friends, I landed on druid, a class that deserves more respect. Their toolkit for HC is actually really fun. This is pretty close to the most fun Ive had in WoW, and Im okay with the mages and warriors, they dont roll on my gear!
That would have been WILD. I remember warriors tanking 2 molten giants at a time in dungeon blues and taking virtually no damage by stacking def gear.
