  1. 29 Warrior Guide

    Right now, this is my spec. It's a decent all-purpose prot spec, and you can swap to a Corpsemaker to do some damage when you need to. The other spec I've considered is this one. It has less teeth and no revenge stun so you're losing a lot, but I can't tell you how many times I've had to dump...
  2. 29 Warrior Guide

    I made this thread not too long ago with a lot of information about gearing options (particularly horde). Have a look and go hog-wild. Edit: In response to the comment above, I think last stand, imp revenge and 1 point in imp shield block are some of the best talents you can get at 29 on a...
  3. Comprehensive 29 Warrior Sets & Stats

    Can I just say now that I've made my 29 warrior and I'm nearly finished with librams... get the fuckin enforcer pauldrons instead of brigand's LMAO 40% level xp from Brigand's chain alone, plus another 3k or so for RFK belt/shield, plus Razzeric's adds up to nearly 80% of your XP. I went with...
  4. Enchantment & Enhancement lvl reqs

    There aren't any level requirements for enchants. Wowhead is also wrong about librams in the gear planner tool.
  5. Faction Changing

    Hi folks, does anyone remember how faction-exclusive quest reward items work if you pay for a faction change? I seem to remember one or two instances in early BC when someone had horde and alliance-exclusive gear, but that also definitely seems like the kind of thing Blizzard would want to...
  6. Is it ever worth using Cruel Barb (+15 agi) + off-hand (not furbolg) instead of Twisted Chanter's?

    I think the highest possible AP you can achieve right now is Cruel Barb mh with a Ritual Stein of the Falcon (+3 Agi) in the offhand, but I could be wrong. You should be able to reach 346 ranged AP if you make every possible concession (you'll have like 700 HP). Using Cruel Barb with Furbold...
  7. Why Mindthrust bracers?

    The only thing you're missing is that int also gives spell crit, otherwise you could also argue in favor of 2/2 eagle bracers or 4 stam bracers. I also think the 150 mana librams are fine as a healer once you overcome a certain baseline health threshold, but it's hard to reach that point at 19...
  8. New to 29's Class Question.

    I've seen balance druid builds, but they're mostly for fun. You won't be able to compete with the ranged damage of a hunter without sacrificing 1k health and 1.5k mana. Resto druids are interesting and semi-viable but extremely vulnerable to purge and dispel. I don't play druid so take this...
  9. Best 2h Weapons

    Yeah, I think Strokes was operating under a mistaken impression for a while re. how instant attack damage was calculated pre-normalization (when weapon speed did, in fact, contribute to the damage formula). This was exacerbated by the fact that I forgot Classic was on a normalized weapon speed...
  10. Best 2h Weapons

    If it has a high ppm I can see it being useful here, but I've never used one and figured with damage that high it was very low. I've also never heard anyone talk about the PoD procs being meta relevant, only its speed/top-end, since I don't play 39s lol
  11. Best 2h Weapons

    There's just no conceivable advantage to using it in this bracket as far as I can tell. It's worse than EC in every metric. PoD ((650/14)*3.3) + [127-191] = 277-340 Expected Mortal Strike Damage: 387-450 Expected Mortal Strike Crit: 774-900 Normal Attack Range: 296-360 DPS: 82.09 vs...
  12. Wand Mechanics & Theorycrafting

    Hi everyone, I have a few questions about W A N D S in Classic WoW and was hoping to maybe get some answers or at least start a productive conversation about it. I have always loved wand spec, but there is still a lot about them I'm not perfectly clear on. The weird spell batching issues (and...
  13. Which server to choose for 29s Alliance & Guilds?

    I am trying for AGM alone and beginning to deeply regret Skeram (US) for the first time. 5-10 people camping it at all hours, usually a guild working together. Starting to wonder if I shouldn't finish gearing up and transfer somewhere else for the AGM.
  14. Comprehensive 29 Warrior Sets & Stats

    I'm not precisely sure what you mean by "rage stacking," but to be clear, rage scales with damage dealt, so the primary benefit of a faster weapon isn't more rage generation, but rather smaller increments of rage generation at a more consistent pace. That's good a lot of the time, particularly...
  15. Comprehensive 29 Warrior Sets & Stats

    I am in no way, shape or form endorsing one build over another, haha. These are merely templates to help someone position their gear planning on a spectrum of all the possible build ideas. I do, however, think there's a viable use for almost any set you can think of, however niche. I've played...
  16. Rogue enchant Reccomendations wanted

    I would be curious to see those tests run again, because my understanding was that conventional wisdom held fiery as the highest dps enchant available since it could crit. Obviously in a 1v1 situation, the 30 heal & 30 damage outweigh 40-60 damage, but I tend to frame things in terms of premade...
  17. Rogue enchant Reccomendations wanted

    Unless things have changed, Fiery was 40 damage at approximately 6 ppm, Lifestealing was 30.
  18. Rogue enchant Reccomendations wanted

    I personally only think lifesteal is a useful enchant if your whole build revolves around it. Fiery is great in a lot of matchups, though. Crusader is probably just the best weapon enchant in the game if your character has any use for strength, so I'd use it as the "general purpose" mh enchant...
  19. Sought after twink items

    The burst potential just is what it is. If you're a flag carrier with 5 or 6 people opening up on you at once, your ability to counterplay versus ambush is extremely limited. If an FC drops under 1,000 HP, that could be a returned flag with a single button. Obviously it's a very specific niche...
  20. Sought after twink items

    They did, but either just for fucking around or for very specific, coordinated premade burst with Claw of the Shadowmancer + Ambush. It's a bursty bracket, so daggers have a viable place in it. But for 90+% your time in a battleground or duel, you'd be better served with a Zealot Blade in mh.
