Theoretically if my goal is to get thunderfury on a rogue

What do I need to do in order to secure it? Assuming all options are possible. Start my own guild? Stock up DKP? Etc?

Start your own raid guild.

If female irl maybe sleep with guild/raid leaders?

Your best bet if you don’t want to infuriate people is to get into a good guild, let the tanks have thunderfury.

Eventually when your guild is mostly t2 or greater and you have MC on farm you’ll be able to do partial pugs. That’s when you take 10-20 of your guild mates, pug the rest and clear MC. With only 10-20 of your guild mates you should be able to work out binding reservations without “stealing” them from your guild’s tanks. Make sure those invited to the pug are aware of the reserved bindings.

Do these pugs weekly for about ~6 months or so and POOF! A THUNDERFURY!

This method basically gives your guild the potential to get two or three times as many thunderfurys. And if your guild is good they’ll have a good reputation and more casual raiders will be begging to join one of your partial pugs.

Alternatively if everyone in your guild has geared alts they can run MC multiple times internally and juggle whoever needs thunderfury into the appropriate lockout. Theoretically your guild could do up to 10 MC runs per week if everyone had 10 level 60 geared alts.

My guild back then cleared MC early and were up to date on progression, we farmed MC one night weekly (even while in Naxx) and never got our tanks all a TF. The rogues didn’t have a chance.

I would say to just wait it out. Classic isn’t going anywhere. Eventually you’ll be seeing hunters running around with it.

I used to be in a guild with a rogue with thunderfury. He used to die to bosses from pulling ago about a min into each fight. Strange part is he still out dps hunters mages and warlocks.

Be ready to evasion tank because you will be pulling threat like a mofo.

Hope and pray.

I preferred the typo version :smiling_imp:

Thunderfury has to go to the main tank first for threat reasons.
Should go to a off tank/ fury second.

After that its fair to let other warriors and rogues compete for it.

10

that’s the dream

11

Stay with the same guild for a long time and wait for the tanks to get it first.

The top raiding guild for Horde on Thunderlord had a Rogue named Pheq who had TF.

Here’s a video of them downing Nefarian for the first time:

I’m just gonna go ahead and tell you flat out right off the bat:

There are only 2 ways to accomplish such a thing.

  1. Start your own guild and somehow convince them and the loot council to be fine with getting you a tfury instead of a tank/warrior/paladin

or

  1. Host your own pug MCs and run them weekly with legendaries and sellables reserved.

Other than that, there’s absolutely zero chance of you getting one.

And honestly, why do you even want one on a rogue anyway?

  • You’re a DEAD giveaway if you’re stealthed and they catch a glimpse.
  • For PVP, a strong dagger in the mainhand usually allows for much more bursty, powerful, and dominating gameplay overall compared to swords.
  • The damage isn’t like super impressive or anything. Also, that chain lightning would screw up any sort of blind or sap or gouge you may have on another target nearby completely screwing up your game flow and most likely directly getting you killed many times.

I don’t really have any goals for classic wow so I figured I would contrive one. This sounds like a good enough one to me personally. Though, I’m not impartial to trying to get it on a hunter or paladin either.

  1. PvP: I could care less about PvP in an imbalanced MMORPG. I will play it for FUN only without taking it seriously like an esport. I am rated highly in other games which are better suited to esports and are generally even playing fields.

  2. PvE: I played a tank in Vanilla WoW. I remember just how boring it was and I always wanted a thunderfury. I have no interest in playing a warrior again. Though, perhaps I may just for the A E S T H E T I C S. Vain as that may be. I can argue that playing WoW and video games in general is an equal waste of time so please don’t act like your way of playing are goals are somehow more “logical”.

  1. Be a streamer.
  2. Have lots of followers.
  3. Get everyone to do everything for you.

Priority is generally as follows:

  1. Main tanks
  2. Off tanks
  3. Melee dps
  4. Anyone else that can equip swords

Considering how unlikely a main taink is to get one before phase 3, don’t get your hopes up.

I’ve been in a WSG against a guild that had several thunderfuries on it (all warriors), but that was an amalgamation of bored raiders just before BC. We lost that fight, for what it’s worth.

I mean if I don’t at least “earn” it then what’s the point? I might as well just play on my own private server and just give it to my character with a GM command.

Could always just Main Tank up to getting TF…then do a hard switch to Fury (which is Best DPS anyways) and join a new guild hah

19

Best bet would be to set up pug MC runs.

I would opt for gdkp runs and then save your gold for when it drops.

Or just set loot rules for legendaries at start of run.

Something simple could be if someone has 1 bindings and the other drops they only compete with people who have first binding.(maybe only implement this rule after you get one binding)

Or if you just wanna be forthright about it, create the pug and reserve the bindings

I am a rogue and just got mine this past weekend.

A number a lucky circumstances lead to it. Mainly the main tank leaving when we both had the right binding so when the left dropped, it was given to me since i was ready with my mats to complete it.
