I didnāt raid in Vanilla, but with amount of knowledge of classes, and the technical changes to computers since then, there may be more raiding guilds using the ābadā classes/specs than in the past.
An all druid guild certainly would present an interesting challenge. Iām sure they could clear MC, Onyxia and BWL. They may run into trouble once they get to AQ40 and Naxx may not even be possible. But who knows? Weāll have plenty of time to see.
naxx would probably be impossible in a practical sense. there are some dps races, and tanking would be questionable. that said if everyone had bis gear and they made smart use of 40 innervates they might be able to surprise some people
it would take a guild full of top talent a long time to get all of that gear just for a novelty though
I donāt think tanking would be an issue. Bear main tanks existed in Naxx in vanilla. DPS might be rough, but probably still doable.
I think the real issue in Naxx would stem from a lack of buffs. With only MotW and thorns youāre really gimping yourself. Everyone would do significantly less DPS, healing and have less HP and take more damage all because theyāre missing nearly every buff in the game.
There would be some interesting fightsā¦ Even in MC. Just to name a few mechanicsā¦ Mag with no Tranq, Domo w/ no sheeps, Ony w/ no fear ward/tremor/zerker rage for swaps, BWL Supression with no Rogues to put down traps, and these are just off the top of my head. Iām sure there are a lot more insurmountable issues as well.
Heh, that is a good question. I didnāt consider that. I suppose thatās where those 40 battle rezs would really come in handy.
How long are you stuck in cat form anyways? Is it until the next class call? The class calls are random if Iām remembering correctly. Maybe youād just have to get lucky.
But you canāt cast Rebirth while in cat form, which means Nefarian has 30 seconds to splat as many cats as possible. Once the tank is down, the dpsāers will each get one-shotted and drop like dominoes.
Ideally youād probably want to have multiple ātanking Druidsā sitting at 2/3/4 on threat just for that and hope that the debuff runs out before you run out of beefy cats.
It would be one of the more difficult fights to pull off as an all Druid raid, though.
