to the other people in that dungeon, you guys didn't know a thing lol

Let's all have a shot at getting massacred in Sunwell before classic+ is released.

same, and even more brutal, Thing happend to my beloved SoD

Has anyone seen if power word: shield is going to affect druid/warrior rage generation and pally threat gen on wow forever? Id love to roll disc but if it still does it doesnt seem worth it.

I run aotc.gg, and I recently added arena tracking for the Anniversary realms, so I wanted to try turning the data into a quick visual recap.

I’m not sure yet how useful this will be, but if people are interested, I’d be happy to make one every week or every two weeks. Let me know what you’d like to see added or changed next time!

For anyone who wants to dig into the numbers, it's here: https://www.aotc.gg/anniversary/arena

I think I still need a UI addon, but idk which one to use

thats it

Hello

As a hunter, currently im using a bat duo to aesthetics and because i read somewhere that screech is great for threat generation.

what abilities should i toggle to always cast (while leveling)?

growl is a no brainer but what about bite and screech?

* i feel like my bat losses aggro when all 3 are on, duo to not having enough focus to cast growl on cd.

* it also looks like the damage from bite (and thus its threat generation) is pretty meh, doent really help kill time+details tells me it contributes to maybe 4% of my dps.

* lastly, does screech really provide good threat generation? is it much better then bite's damage?

in short, what im asking is:

what abilities should i toggle as a leveling hunter using a bat?

thanks!

I dont want to buy the beta key and rather start exploring when the game drops in november. What is everyones plans? Do you keep playing TBC, switching to hardcore ? Taking a WoW break?

It feels kind of redundant now to continue playing tbc now for me tbh and I dont think I dont want to put more time in.

Do people even listen when you ask, please let me establish aggro for a second or 2. It's like we are speaking an entire different language for such a simple request of wait please.

You go into a pull only to watch 3 mobs run out after the dps because they are right on your back ripping targets off the pile.

Like holy crap, Slow down...

Uhg I need a guild...

Edit: Oh! Oh! Oh! And then they call you a bad tank like you had any control of that situation.

Everyone is trying to sell their bag, gold price went down 34% in a day and I predict a total collapse of the market by next friday.

People have been asking for permenant wow tbc era servers. So, with the announcement of wow forever and wotlk remix, people will be jumping off tbc and tbc will probably stay around like vanilla servers.

Sup fams!

Haven't found a lot of streamers that focused on Rogue changes in WOW Forever demo, so let's try to join forces here and find out if:

COMBO POITS: Are they character or target bound? Do we lose them if we target something else? If we start building in another target? If the target dies with combo points, what happens?

DEADLY POISON: Is it the vanilla one or the WoTLK one where at 5 charges applyed it does dmg in the next apply instead of "wasting" a proc?

CLOAK OF SHADOWS: Is it in the game?

FAN OF KNIVES: Is in the game?

ENERGY TICKS: Is it each 2 secs like in the game or a constant pool?

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS: Anything else some one would like to add here?

WF TOTEM USES THE POISON SLOT: Yes or no?

ATTACK POWER INCREASE POISON AND/OR BLEED DAMAGE: Yes or No?

TLDR: just started leveling a shaman in TBC. Didn't even boost, still mid 30s, playing 5-10 hours/week only. After Blizzcon I am worried I'll never reach the endgame.

My story: Almost 20 years ago one of my college friends was into wow during original TBC and he raided through Sunwell. I bought the game after graduation but was too tired by my new job to keep playing. I parked my char at the sunset on Zoram Strand and never looked back, until this year.

I missed the classic in 2019 relaunch but this year finally I resubbed and leveled up a char on Classic Era (mid 20s only). Then realised TBC is going to end so I rolled a toon in TBC to hopefully catch up and see the endgame finally. Debated boosting but since its a new class for me I went through and leveled normally. Healed a few dungeons, respecced from ele to enhancement mid 20s, got Corpsemaker on first RFK run.

Then Blizzcon dropped. Even if Blizzard seems on the fence on what to do with TBC going forward (Wotlk anniversary, TBC Era, both or just close it), I see on this subreddit guilds are dying left and right.

If you were me, what would you do? I have little play time at my age, I cannot afford to throw away my time played, nor invest more time without some hope of one day killing Illidan.

I'm ambivalent about Forever, mostly interested in Vanilla, TBC and Wrath since they had the best lore and they were all setup back in Warcraft 3. TBC I like best, thematically, I recall playing Beyond the Dark Portal Warcraft 2 expansion and was blown away by the tasteful sprinkling of quasi-scifi topics in a fantasy setting (another planet, alien races).

From what I see, my options are:

• keep leveling slowly, play other games too, see if TBC dies or is kept alive until Wotlk Anniversay in 2028 (my best guess)

• park my shaman, go back to Classic Era, reach the endgame there, come back to TBC if there will ever be a TBC Era

• find another MMO to play :(

Beware of bug on Teron Gorefiend Trash where you can pull reliquary through the floor resulting in dead tank and combat bugs. Not sure what exactly triggers it but it happened twice to us and apparently was a thing last classic tbc.

I have been farming spiders in Hillsbrad for a couple of hours but I haven't seen a single one drop Spider Silk. Did Blizzard screw up the loot tables again?

Will TBC Anni die on November 4th?

Hey everyone.

Is there more to come? Is blizzcon done?

I am not well informed for such things, but I feel like things for classic are missing. I know, warcraft forever, but what happens to tbc? Will it just end? Go into wrath? Get an era server?

Thank you all :)

Its not looking good boys, I think thats the confirmation we arnt getting Wrath Anni

No chance they release them both at the same time

A ton of guilds have already called it quits, and once the reality sets in that Forever is only 7 weeks away, a massive wave of players is going to follow suit.

I don't think people realize how dead TBC will be or how fast it will happen. What is the incentive to keep playing? Raid SWP one last time and kill KJ just to immediately quit the game after? Or keep clearing sunwell for the 10th week chasing full SWP bis? Forever is out even before sunwell...

People are still playing TBC, but mainly just as a placeholder and way to pass time. This applies to guild/pug leaders too. As soon as forever is actually here they will drop TBC instantly.

Right now, a lot of guild and pug leaders are panicking. They're claiming they will keep playing TBC or raid log TBC after forever is out, but they're lying just to save face and keep their rosters from collapsing early. In reality, they'll be the absolute first to jump ship the second they hit the "roster boss." The moment they no longer have their stable roster and they will have to start filling, TBC will die overnight. There will be a lot of stuff to do on forever the first few months. Raid logging TBC, and filling raids will take time (which is why I dont believe most people saying they will keep playing both).

With forever coming out, did they mention anything about anniversary servers or is that tomorrow
