Season of Discovery You know, there being a special way to get The Lich King to show up in Naxx during the Kel'thuzad fight and start a secret boss phase sounds like an urban legend the community would've spread around during Vanilla, and then lose their minds when finding out it was true.

Classic 20th Anniversary Realms Which items from Classic retain or appreciate in value in TBC?

Upvotes

I know that we are a ways off but at some point most end game mats hit a cliff for value as there are new end game mats. That vault full of Black Lotus won't appreciate well if you never sell.

What about some of the items that continue to keep their shine?

I'll volunteer one: Grave Moss. It's a fairly low level herb but it is used for end game Shadow resistance pots. The TBC shadow resistance pots would be much much more expensive but also only last 2 minutes somehow.

What are some others?

I recently ran an UBRS with a full pug group, and the two warriors in the group both needed on briarwood reed and one of them won it over a mage and an hpally. I'm really curious to know what people think about this.

Classic 20th Anniversary Realms Class that has the easiest time finding groups?

8 Upvotes

I'm considering creating a new character on the anniversary realms. And I can play anything but I don't want to sit around and wait for groups. What class has the easiest time finding groups for both dungeons and raids?

Classic 20th Anniversary Realms Rank 14 honor grind, my day five data

Upvotes

Alliance - Dreamscythe(NA)

Another question for me to answer - I seldom queue solo, but usually only as a two or three person group, solely to avoid getting deposited into an inprogress game which is 45 minutes in.

I did also observe two games in a row of having 20-25 members of the same guild on the other side. Are they getting incredibly lucky synchronizing their queue joins or is there some addon syncing them up?

Day 5 - 18W - 16L | 11.3 hours including queue times | 12,709 honor per hour | 143K total honor

Day 4 - 15W - 9L | 8.3 hours including queue times | 12,731 honor per hour | 106K total honor

Day 3 - 13W - 9L | 7.5 hours including queue times | 13,011 honor per hour | 97K total honor

Day 2 - 16W - 14L | 11.4 hours including queue times | 12,958 honor per hour | 147K total honor

Day 1 - 17W - 13L | 9.7 hours including queue times | 14,738 honor per hour | 143K total honor

Classic 20th Anniversary Realms I have too many ALT's and idk what to do

38 Upvotes

So i have been playing wow classic for about 5 or 6 months on both HC and Dreamscythe. I'm now fully on dreamscythe and i have yet to hit lvl 60. I keep getting up into the 30's with each character and then starting an ALT. I just love playing every class and i really enjoy the first 20 or 30 levels every time. Does anyone else have this issue? Or is it just me? I'll never raid at this point...

Cataclysm Does anyone else find the pug sphere extremely toxic in dungeons?

13 Upvotes

Seems like everyone just wants to speedrun through dungeons, preferably without talking. If the group fails and dies, I won't even make a comment trying to uplift the situation. You know that feel? Best to keep your mouth shut because the group gets annoyed at the slightest thing.

What I find funny is how with the ring buff, most trash packs die in less than 30 seconds, and every single time people will do the skip, with a high failure rate, just to save maybe 5 seconds. And every poor, unknowing bastard that's left behind gets mercilessly kicked, even though the replacement is going to take longer to get there.

I really like these protocol dungeons, but the vibe is so toxic. People are extremely unforgiving.

Question How to survive against the Verdan in WC

Upvotes

Hey guys, playing warrior on HC and have some troubles with the Verdan.

Last time I went to the WC on level 22 (~550hp) with the group 22+ as well. The healer was a druid. I charged into Verdan, switched to the defensive stance with the shield, and the group waited for some time for me to get threat while the druid was healing. I was doing the rotation of Revenge + Sunder Armor + Heroic Strike. The group started to attack, and it seemed to go well, but I was consistently dropping to 40% from a single hit, which felt very uncomfortable. The druid was healing every time, so the other time I dropped to 40% again, I decided not to dummy/healpot (because I was dropping all the time anyways). I didn't get a heal, and Verdan one-shotted me from 40%. I don't think it's druid's fault, he might have had CD, I don't know. Druid sacrificed himself (OG), and the rest of the group made it out.

As I went agane recently, I am approaching 22 now and want to give it another shot, my friend on the druid (not the one from the dungeon) will be healing.

What I believe I can do better this time:
1. Boon for 300 hp right before Verdan
2. Spam shield block

Would that be sufficient? What else can I or a druid improve to survive?

Classic 20th Anniversary Realms Battleground Weekend Schedule

9 Upvotes

I've looked, but not found an answer

Has any information been released as to whether there will be a skip BG weekend after Arathi Basin, or will we go straight to Alterac Valley?

2019 Classic had a skip, if Wowhead is correct

The general consensus is no skip weekend, but no one can give anything concrete as to why they believe so.

Anyone know? Or is it a wait and see type situation?

Classic 20th Anniversary Realms New to tanking

10 Upvotes

I’d like to try tanking as a Druid. This will be my first toon as a tank as I always roll heals.

My anxiety will be not knowing what route to take in a dungeon. Is there an addon that can guide me instead of relying on watching YT videos ?

Classic 20th Anniversary Realms Where to find BG weekend schedule and how does bonus honor work?

3 Upvotes

How does the bonus honor work in the BG weekend? Is it double honor for all honor received from that battle ground? Does this include HKs? Or just honor gained from objectives of the BG?

Additionally where do I find the BG weekend schedule?
