I know a few of you guys used to play WOW.  Does anyone still play it?

I haven't played since the expansion.  I really haven't played since S3 arena.   I went on this weekend and played a few hours and forgot how much fun it was.  I have a druid, a warrior, and a warlock.  I'm thinking about getting my druid to 80.

It would be cool to play with some people that like to PVP arena or WSG.  I don't have enough time to stay in a raiding guild anymore.  But I used to be unstopable playing WSG and arena on my resto druid.

It sucks now how they changed the talent trees so much.  Not being about to get swiftmend, insect swarm, and feral charge.  But I will agree that it was way too overpowered.  I could have the whole other team on me carrying the flag in WSG having that spec, and still cap the flag.

If you haven't played since the expansion like me.  You can sit in AV and get exp out the ass.  I played about 4 hours this weekend and got 3 levels.  The only thing that sucks is the new spells cost about 17g at this level so If you don't have money saved up you have to go out and do quests for gold to train.  I started out with 3k on my druid and now I have like 1500 left.  So i'm gonna run out before I hit 80.

I know having only 1 capture the flag area to play over and over might seem dumb but I actually enjoy playing that.  It would be really cool to get a full premade of people that know what they are doing.  I can pretty much win a game on my own running the flag but sometimes I run into a full premade and have troubles.

Yes I still play.  I got my pally and priest on ursin horde (smucher and omajsan).

come on over and I'll get you into my guild.  We lack a lot of pvpers but there are some pvp guild on the server as well.  I got stinking rival last season on my pally because my priest in 3's quit half way through the season and my spec got nerfed out the ass.  I'm gearing up my priest now since the pure classes seem to always do better.

You still need to quest for cash but try to make every wintergrasp, that will net you a bunch of gear pretty easily once you hit 80.

Oh, and I'm pretty much only a pvper now, I don't have time for the raids.

Darick - Alliance LVL 80 Warrior Tank on Lightning's Blade http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Lightning%27s+Blade&n=Darick
Zhed - Alliance LVL 17 Holy Priest on Dawnbringer http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Dawnbringer&n=Zhed

I have a couple others, but pretty much inactive. Zhed is my latest one, started about a week ago. My buddies and I are looking to start a guild on Dawnbringer if you wanted somebody to play with. I've got a vent server we could use too..

bish, what realm are you playing on?

Why dual spec feral twice? Have you had better DPS vs the other?

I have done half my lvling to 80 (from 70) by tanking. I know you don't need to spec tanking to tank, but it sure makes it easier. Other spec is Kitty DPS (for soloing). I will stay 2 specs forever. I hate healing & boomkin

Yeah, I completely understand that... I went from 1-70 in a month as arms, then switched to protection when I hit 80...

After the people I was raiding with took the game too seriously, I pretty much bailed out on that and started another character on a PVE realm to get back to the fun parts of the game...

This was my warlock that I raided at lvl 60 on.  Did up to 8 bosses in Naxx at lvl 60.

http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Duskwood&n=Gacey

This is my warrior I tanked up through some SSC in the first expansion but I got tired and quit.

http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Duskwood&n=Maeladrine

This is what I pvp'd on:

http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Duskwood&n=Bearlol

I made my druid boomkin for a minute.  More PewPew less QQ.  I need to grind out a little gold to get some money to duel spec and have some left over.

Anyway so I can pretty much move from horde to alliance anywhere except I guess it has to be a PVE server.  You can't go from PVE to PVP but you can do anything else now on a x-fer.


All of my characters are on Duskwood which is PVE when I started WOW I hated PVPing and just wanted to raid.  But now I hate raiding really and just want to pvp.

I still play.  Unfortuantely i didn't know what I was doing when I signed up and stuck myself on a non PvP server, so BG's and random city raids are my only chance to PvP.

You should have tried Rest pvp when you could get Insect swarm, feral charge, and swiftmend.  You would jizz your pants.  You could do dps.  Moonfire, insect swarm, wraith spam.  You could charge and spell interupt bash people.  Plus you had nature's swiftness and swiftmend for quick heals.  By the time I stacked up 400+ resillience at lvl 70 I could seriously have the whole team play defense in WSG and make it back with the flag pretty easily unless it was a well organized pre-made group I was against.

It's still ok now to resto pvp you just can't really kill anything but no one can kill you really from what it seems.  You go like 21 points in or maybe a few more in balance and get insect swarm then get improved tree since that would be like your new bearfrom in pvp because of the armor buff to it now.  So you go caster from if you need to help burst someone down with dps or you go tree in defense mode to take damage and heal stuff.

I have a few characters on PVP servers that I leveled to 50ish before the expansions.  I don't know how it is now but it used to blow ass trying to get to 60 on a pvp server.  You would spend more time corpse running than actually questing.  I'm sure once you get to max level and gear up it's fun to go gank people.  But there are times when you will be the ganked. 

So pvp servers are both fun and teh suck at the same time.

You still have those one assholes that sit in cities like Darkshire and gank you while you're trying to level. It takes a bit, but once you get a couple 80s near ya it's usually fun to camp them. I have been the asshole and the gank-e many times..

pvp servers were fun to level with in classic but they've lost their fun.  Now i don't see the difference since all pvp takes place in bg's and arena and wintergrasp.

True story..

I'll stick to my PVE realm for now and just go into some BG's. I've always got my 80 on a PVP server if I want to go gankin

The server I lvl'd my Drood (blackwing lair) was 3-1 horde to ally. There was a running joke on the forums that Ally don't exist on the server and any Horde talking about xfering to the server was told "Ally or go home"

Stormreaver has 1.1 ally to 1 horde, so it's kinda neat. Haven't really been killed much lvling though, mostly I ignore the horde, and they do the same. I'm not interested in area PvP, just lvling (BG's when I get board)

I hate how dorky wow sounds. I had a co-worker who played, and I mentioned to him that I played, so then all the time he would talk to me about it. It was very embarassing  undecided embarassed

LOL true, it does sound a lot dorkier than it really is, also, I would put money on the fact that about 25% of the people at my casino are players.  Talking about WoW is as common as talking about kicking out a drunk.



Worm.  PvP = player vs. player  (pretty self explanatory)  (1v1?  No?  Didn't think so)

PvE=  Player vs. Environment (Raids = dungeons, dragons, bosses, etc) (Capping on empty server)

Guild = Clan

Level 80 =  Hops, Cleaner

Level 70ish = Playah, Fors

60& Below =  Cartman, Bones, etc

Arena = as2m7

Nerf = Yellowfire caught with spikes & now playing without spikes

Tank = Boost

3's = 3v3

2's = 2v2

Have a 80 protection warrior on Area 52 and a 80 enhancement shaman on Stormrage.  I play the enh shaman the most. Once you experience the fun that is playing an enh shaman, you don't go back to other classes!

I played the warrior first. Tanked MC, Onyxia, BWL, and AQ. Later on there was the server migration and I transferred him to Area 52 before retiring. I really enjoyed tanking but had an offer from a former guild mate to come join their alliance guild back on Stormrage. Made the enh shaman, been there ever since. Such a fun class when played and geared correctly.

Warrior tanking makes me sad these days. It's so much easier to tank as a druid, paladin or DK.

When a druid is the tank in a group and says "I have to afk a bit, gonna have my 5 year old son play. Here son, just press these 3 buttons and you'll do fine" and the son has rock solid agro on 4-5 mobs at once, something is wrong.

Tell me about it...

Trying to hold aggro with very little to none decent AOE spells, gets kind of a bitch.

Comments like these always tend to piss me off. I couldn't tank in Vanilla. When I could tank in BC I didn't have anything (no last stand or Lay of Hands or shield wall) & most groups wouldn't take me cause they didn't understand druid tanking. Now we get everything other tanks have (to some degree) and we are considered OP? Name any tank that hits more then 3 buttons....

like every other tank.

idk warriors have like 7-8 buttons.

pallies have like 6 or 7, maybe 8.  judge, shield slam thingie, hammer thingie, consecrate, self shield, holy shield, throw shield thingie.  guess you could throw taunt and lay of hands in there.

warriors have like several:  thunderclap, HS, Dev, shield block, shield slam, revenge, like several more things i'm not thinking of cuz i'm not a warrior, shield wall??

dk's:  don't really know.

druids must have more than 3...

there was a druid in BC that had 75% mitigation with like 60% dodge or higher.  he also did better single target aggro than any other tank.  There's a reason 2nd tank on gruul was usually a druid.  I don't think druids sucked as tanks in BC, quite the contrary.  Almost necessary for bear runs to boot.

I've seen vids of a Boomkin MT Gruul, and a rog evasion tank Gruul, so that's not a good example. And sure a bear "can" MT alot of bosses in BC, they usually wern't allowed to because they had no "omg" buttons.

I personally MT'd every boss in T4, and a few (that I was allowed) in T5. I also (in T5 equiv gear) got booted from a Kara run because "druids can't tank "x" boss). Fucking gay.

And by 75% mitigation, you may mean armor capped (75% less mele dmg). I was almost armor capped too (only about 44% dodge though)

Here are all the buttons I use on a daily basis while tanking on my warrior:

Taunt, Shield Slam, Revenge, Cleave, Heroic Strike, Shockwave, Concussion Blow, AE Taunt, Thunder Clap, Heroic Throw, Mocking Blow.

That's just to hold agro...

Don't forget Shield Block, Shield Wall, Vigilence, Intervene, Bloodrage, Berserker Rage, Demo Shout, Battle Shout, Commanding Shout, Spell Reflection, Disarm, Shield Bash, Last Stand, and Charge.

I remember the good old days of warrior tanking when it was sunder armor, heroic strike, shield slam (when it was patched in), AE taunt, mocking blow, and revenge. 

Let's not even talk about how spikey warrior tanking damage mitigation is...

Well I mean I can list off every drood ability (and trust me there are more the war's) but how often am I poping an innervate (or you a battle shout) in the middle of a battle? There have been times where I have Brezed in the middle of a boss fight, or tranquility in between pulls.

Warlock was my first character. @ 70 I was always having to watch my threat (cause I was always right behind the tank) and in PvP I would get so many "unearned" kills it would be stupid. I very quickly found the role boring.

There was an instance I ran on my drood the other night as dps, healer died in the middle, I brezed him, healed tank till healer poped up, then innervated the healer and went back to dps. I have much more control over the outcome of the fight then "spaming 3 buttons" or casting some dots....

Wait what? I said it takes three buttons to tank as a druid effectively.  I listed the abilities I use to generate agro, because you asked what class uses more than 3 abilities to tank. I use eleven abilities just to hold agro. The other buffs are more utility and mitigation buffs.

I'm not saying you're some moron who doesn't know how to play his class, or that druids are overpowered. I just believe warriors need a buff in the mitigation and ae agro generation to keep up with druids, paladins, and dk's.

thinking of picking up aion.

Playing 2's as a priest with a warlock buddy and I honestly cannot take a warrior or a rogue for very long.

Seems all they have to do is tunnel me and I'll never get on top of my healing.  My lock can't peel a warrior and I just get like 12 crits in a row.  constant overpowers and executes (as if warriors needed that) with mortal strikes for 4.5k on a 700 resil target....  a warrior will keep my health constant through constant healing casts, then when my spells are cooling down he drops me more.  I still need more spell power but I can't imagine it getting much better.  the shit is just stupid.  I have to blow like every cooldown during a bladestorm.

Please do tell so I can be a more effective tank. So far I have been using...

Aggro -> Taunt, Major taunt, FFF, Lacerate, Demo Roar, charge, natures grasp, maul, swipe, mangle, with thorns up

Defense -> Bash, Barkskin, Survival Instincts, Frenzied Regen

Of these 15 which are the only 3 I should use?

Not trying to add fuel to the fire and no one is saying that someone is a bad player.  But I have played Druid and warrior all 3 specs before.  A warrior is probably the most difficult class in WOW to play.  You are trying to keep the threat level up and all the while during boss fights you have to make sure shield block is queued up.

I don't know how much things have changed but at lvl 60 cap and lvl 70 cap 1 crushing blow on a boss fight = game over and you either had 39 or 24 people pissed off that 5 mins into a boss fight you where 1 second late queuing up shield block.

I really don't know how deathknights and prot pallies deal with it but i'm pretty sure druids are just beefy enough to eat it.  Warriors not so much.

I don't know how much I would get back into raiding.  What turned me off of the 3rd expansion was the rehash of Naxx.  That place is the reason I quit playing the first time.  You spend 5 hours a night inside that hole for 2 months trying to do progression in the place when it was super hard mode at lvl 60.  My guild was on the 4 horseman when I gave up on that place.  I just couldn't stomach leveling to 80 and going back into that hole. 

That would be just like blizzard to say we aren't going to do any new raid instances for Cataclysm.  So when you get to lvl 85 you can just go back into Molten Core, Blackwing Lair, and AQ40 again.  I would rather jump out a 5 story building.  Especially AQ40 I would vomit if I saw the inside of C'Thuns chamber again.  I have nightmares about that place.  We spent like a full month killing him then we went back every week for months.

Warrior tanks have changed quite a bit bish, threat is easily maintained for all tanks with not worrying too much about specific rotations. On top of that, Naxx in WotlK is retardedly easy, with my old guild we cleared it in 4hrs a few weeks after release of WotlK. Pretty much all raiding has been dumbed down to the point that a mentally challenged monkey could clear content. However some of the events have become fun in raiding, almost all the fights in ulduar have been a good time. Even the new ToC raids are pretty fun, but still extremely easy

Well that does change a lot of things.  As much as I used to bitch about how dumb they where that some random thing like crushing blows that does make it pretty dumb easy to tank now.  If all you have to worry about is threat and not if 1 swing is going to do 99% of your health bar.

I wasn't allowed to tank any boss who did crushing blows. Even though I _could_ have (maybe) it was easier on the healers if I didn't. In BC when a drood started a fight, other then keeping threat on target, there was nothing else they could do to change the fight (IE no last stand/shield wall/pot...etc). Either you could tank the boss, or you couldn't.

Still have to worry about getting one shot. Few bosses in Ulduar hit like trucks. Thorim for example puts a debuff on you that reduces defence by like 40, making you crittable, have to have another tank there to taunt immeadiatly or could drop.  Iron Council is another, one guy steelbreaker does an ability called fusion punch, hits for 20k and ticks every 1 or 2 seconds for another 20k

Wait what? I said it takes three buttons to tank as a druid effectively. 
Of these 15 which are the only 3 I should use?

Lacerate, mangle, and
I just macro maul/swipe to one button.

Situationally yeah you can press more than that, but really thats all a feral druid needs to tank.
Totally boring playing a feral druid tank..

Warr tank is where its at! And pally tanking is total zzzzzzz...

War tanking is fun I just wish bliz would buff our AE threat.  I don't have any issues tanking a shit ton of trash in a 5 man instance, but in 10/25 mans a paladin, druid, or dk can pull agro off me immediately, so i don't even try to tank trash.

At least with the next patch they're buffing revenge to make it worth using and increasing the HP vitality gives by 3%.

WARRIORS FIXED AMIRITE??

Yeah i hate that shit.  Pvp servers were cool back in the day in some respects but there's no difference anymore.  Only real difference is that I wanted to mine a cobalt node on my rogue that i transfered to a pve server and some alliance was about to get there first and i was like OOOO, STEALTH SAP but i couldn't.

other than that ONE TIME there's no difference. 

I have to say that in classic it was rather thrilling at times being on a pvp server.  Now, who wants to fly into splintertree with 3 80's just wrecking the place?  It's dumb.

Yeah, I didnt play til BC...kinda wish id been around for some Vanilla WoW action. I enjoyed both PvP and PvE, but I enjoyed actually being able to quest without getting ganked 24/7 the most, so i was always on PvE realms. Had like 20k PvP kills a few years back when i sold my first account though. Bunch of Season 2 stuff with a few Season 3 peices a few months after Season 3 was dropped. Oldskewl!

Eh, slightly, only in the fact that one can get to an equivalent of "pretty good" in say, Halo 3 or Quake 2 simply by being good at first person shooters, while in WoW (or any other role playing game) you actually need to log some serious hours... strike that, days, to get your character experienced enough, even if you're the RPG equivalent of Neo.

Which is basically the reason why I think RPGs that require you to pay monthly fees are exploiting (and contrariwise empowering, oddly enough) nerds with no life, and why I never got into Warcrack.

P.S. Real life equivalent is "Anyone who drives slower than me is an idiot, while faster than me is nuts."

P.P.S. Shoutout to my peeps on I-77S... well, any expressway: STOP HOLDING HANDS WITH THAT SEMI NEXT TO YOU, DOUCHENOZZLES
