Don't say that word or mods will close the thread!!! Oh wait...
In all seriousness I have always been down for 50 twinks. Part of the reason I ALWAYS keep my shaman updated!
Add me Kick#1611
I have fully geared sham. I can heal or dps.

As for what tools to make...
The old tier list is still reliable. Spell casters have never been good at 50 given the lack of hit rating (given, this is based off of broken hit rating stats). And gnome is no longer the master race given the new prof cap

The PTR Profession Cap?

Live prof cap. I haven' really fully understood what bfa professions gets 50s for now.

Didn't people do gnome for 390 trinkets? Thought 50s could only hit 375.

I might be confusing 59s here. Disregard what I said.

59s can get to 450, well 58+

Ya that makes much more sense. Same bracket, different level!

I'm leveling a resto druid to 50 atm, hoping to gear and find some people to raid with.

Lmk if you need runs to gear. I may need to pick up some of those new scaled epic items here and there. I think 50s is exactly what I need to get back into this game .. druids is a good pick.
It's time to summon him

Is this still a thing? I was part of this guild back in 2012 on Stormreaver with my old druid. Wouldn't mind making a toon for it if it's still active.

I'm super down to get some stuff rolling again. There's plenty of content for smaller groups to do right now as well, UBRS and Old Hillsbrad, elite and rare world mobs(more now should be doable I believe as the mobs in WotLK zones should scale down closer to us), and bg's/arena. The stat squish seems like it lessened how much we miss a little bit and I've even been able to land spells on the 60 dummy. I think there might even be some hope for dot based casters. If anyone is down to do some testing or gearing soon lmk, this is looking really promising right now. 50's seem to be on good footing even without the old engi items. @thelse come back buddy we need you

I was part of this project for a little bit a while back. Seems as though your miss on higher level mobs were a lot higher chance as a caster. So we tried to make most dps go a melee class. Though all classes bring something to the table now and they might have fixed hit again recently. Maybe casters miss much less now. It would be worth testing

Yeah I was in this back in the day, Bambiluv the feral. I think the hit stuff is all different now, gonna have to test it out and research.

Spell hit seems pretty dismal still, and with no way of increasing it I've found trying out caster dps on the 60 dummy to be quite frustrating. If you want to go for it I would encourage it but you might not enjoy it, it's super frustrating to miss like 8 or 9 out of every 10 spells. Historically we've had DOT based casters do better, I remember an affliction lock for example on the EU project way back when you could gear for hit that did acceptable dps. DOTs in general have always done well for dps, I have some vague ideas why but not super sure. I would especially steer away from anything that needs you to land multiple spells in a row or stack something up like a fire mage, often you'll miss a bunch of your abilities building up to your big damage, and even if you do manage to get all your stacks and procs its more than likely that you'll miss the ability you've been building up to.
That being said though we've been surprised in the past and there's so much room for experimentation. I remember times when shadow priests and melee mistweaver monks were our top dps specs. Demo locks in the past have been viable since they do a lot of damage through the melee felguard. That's what I find so fun about this kind of twinking, you have to think so creatively and work so outside of how your class is supposed to function to make things work. With the way arcane missiles works right now, i.e. doing so much damage and being a spammable channel like mind flay, I could see an arcane mage doing decent just spamming arcane missiles at the target until one lands. Not a very entertaining playstyle imo but it would be worth a look. Just try stuff out and you'll figure out what works. Keep in mind though that you will land slightly more spells and abilities on the 60 dummy than you will with the raid content
