I remember that and I would really love to do that again like in the good old days, but I'm not sure they release cata classic.
When these characters would eventually level up they would get ilvl 463 archeological weapons at level 85, was insane.
Most insane though was that dude who got the epic...
Yeah, you might also want Northrend alchemy at level 25 to use endless mana potion and endless healing potion. If you don't use those you can use PvP potions from Warsong Gulch vendors (major healing draught and major mana draught).
I'd take alchemy as a last profession because you don't need enchanting and jewelcrafting to use gems and enchants but you do need alchemy to use the permaflask.
Yeah, but not nearly as extreme as now... Back in the cata/mop days a lot of bis gear for 20 and 24 was the same, now it is much better gear for 29 and also extra PvP talents and abilities... And grandfathered enchants too. In cata it used to be 6 vs 8 talent points for 20 and 24, in mop it...
