Are you being serious?
No word on that from Blizzard, but they ll most likely let you copy to era.
Umm absolutely no they arenāt. This is the biggest lie ever told on these forums
The best runs 5 years ago were insanely fast and brutally optimized.
Casual guilds (the three that remain in era) are absolutely not sniffing a progress 45 minute naxx LOLOL.
If you think half the raid spending 10 seconds swapping specs, fully draining mana bars is going to make things FASTERā¦ I have some news for you
The marginal % increase in DPS gained from a swap spec will absolutely not make up for the time lost + mana break.
Just complete trash lie.

I wont commit to leveling a character until I know. In the meanwhile I will play other games
Yes, and even rogues and mages only need one spec, especially when fire takes over
smart decision 
there is no guarantee era copies will be available.
you donāt know what youāre talking about, youāre a self-professed retail player
You donāt know what youāre talking about fat elf the meta is the meta and multiple raid specs are useless

World record from when Naxxramas first released on 2019 classic was whatā¦ Like 1 hour and 15 minutes or something? Maybe more than that. It was definitely more than 1 hour.

<Rock Apes> from what I understand is not the greatest guild. They managed to get a 1 hour 6 minute run.
<Bad Seed> is decent but theyāre not the sweatiest. Also around 1 hour 6 minutes.
My guild, <Not Prepared> is right there at 1 hour 16 minutes. Lots of dads in our guild.
Thereās probably 100 guilds now that have broken what was world record not all that long ago.
So yeah.
Warlocks donāt need a mana break because they can life tap. Mages can use evocation. Druids can innervate. Healers can always green mana pot. Healers also donāt need mana for 2 minutes after Loatheb. Rogues and warriors donāt have mana. Mana is not nearly as much of an issue as you think.
Oh. Ok. Well youāre incorrect. There absolutely is not just one warrior spec. There are at least 2 depending on if you include minor variations like imp demo shout and piercing howl. Your main tank needs to output as much threat as possible as threat puts a cap on DPS. So youād have a pure DPS spec and a pure threat spec.
Mages would use frost spec in certain scenarios like when bosses are fire immune. Rogues might use a dagger or a sword spec. Iād image one or the other might be optimal in different scenarios.
And as for your comment on only warriors mattering, well, no. All classes are essential for one reason or another. And if youāre optimizing your raid youāre not just going to optimize warriors. Thatās silly.
Weāre talking about dps, and even in the example you just gave those specs are set and donāt change week to week. The entire point of this was saying pveāers donāt need 2 specs and they donāt unless a mage wants to parse as fire for some fights and frost as others, which is something a hardcore guild would want

Maybe you were. I wasnāt. I never implied that I was just talking about DPS. What Iām talking about is the optimizations guildās will require for speeding up raids in regards to dual spec.
They donāt need to, but itās potential for optimization. It will inevitably be utilized at some point. And itās not just mages that could potentially benefit from this. Probably every DPS class has specs that are more or less optimal in certain situations.
You should go watch some speedruns where the dps struggle to find time to eat new food buff, let alone take the time to swap specs equip different gear and get full mana

I know the struggle. Iāve cleared Naxx in less than an hour on my shaman. But there are still opportunities. The raid isnāt going to slow down if one mage swaps their spec or one warrior. And these optimizations may not even apply to speed running. It might just be one mage in a casual MC run thatās like āHey guys. Let me swap specs so I can parse on this fight.ā Thatās another thing I donāt want to have to deal with. And you know itāll happen.
Progress Speed ran naxx 3 years ago when it was current live content in 45:18. That was the world record.
If you think CASUAL GUILDS are ācompletely destroyingā that record then you are absolutely clueless and stop typing.

Thatās an Alliance time. Alliance are able to clear faster. You cannot compare Horde and Alliance times.
Also, that was at the end of 2019 Classic. I said when Naxx was released. Read carefully, my friend. If you donāt you may embarrass yourself.
Point? Who cares? You never clarified that at all
LOL NO YOU DID NOT ā¦ HERE IS YOUR EXACT QUOTE
So first you tell me to learn how to read, then you clarify it incorrectly. Nowhere and i mean NOWHERE did you say āomg ally vs hordeā NOR DID YOU SAY āOh i only meant week 1 of naxx teeeeheheheheheheā ā¦ No you said WORLD RECORD SPEED.
youre a jokeā¦ seriously stop typing and get that dent checked out. Im done.

Well itās two different speed run categories. Perhaps you didnāt realize the differences between Horde and Alliance means different potential for speed records. I assumed you already knew that since youāre pretending to know everything.
I quite literally did. Here is the quote from the post you responded to:
Youāre embarrassing yourself. Stop doubling down. Youāll make it worse.
Yes. I think you are. You need to go take a quiet walk around the block. Clear your head.
That doesnt even make senseā¦ there is no WORLD RECORD for a āfirst releaseā
That sentence makes absolutely no sense.
Better wording would be āCasual guilds are clearing now what the best guilds were doing week 1 and 2ā ā¦ those arent WORLD RECORDS
Which is also false btw. No they are not. CASUAL GUILDS are still taking 3-4 hoursā¦ again which if they exist at allā¦ and they dont.
and thinking rock apes is casual is LOL KEKW comedy. We have far different interps of casual bahahah
They quite literally were world records at that time. It doesnāt make them not world records at the time they were set just because they were set early.
And anyways, youāre just arguing semantics at this point. The fact is the top 100 speed clears of Naxx looks A LOT different than it did just a few years ago. Records will keep being broken. Casual guilds will gravitate towards optimization over time. Thatās just what happens.
