Not Updated Jamesb's 19 Vanilla Gearing Guide

Jamesb's 19 Vanilla Twinking Guide

Two years ago I started playing Vanilla private servers and it was tough to get back into the swing of things or to remember what my old gear was. Many of us will be going through the same problem come classic so I put together a short guide on 19s. Enjoy.

II. CLASSES

Warrior - "Spamstring" Warriors do pretty crazy damage if geared correctly and offer the only non-dispellable slow besides wing clip.

Paladin - Great for FCing or for offensive pushes. Blessing of Freedom is amazing at 19.

Priest - Priest is one of the most overpowered 19 classes. Viable as a flag carrier in pugs. Great healing.

Mage - Polymorph is undeniably over powered at 19. Mage is a necessity on any team. They do amazing damage when stacked with fire gear, and have extreme CC potential with stamina / frost gear.

Warlock - Squishy as h*ck, especially when geared for damage. Extremely annoying class to play against. Much more fun on horde when you dont have to deal with Willof the Forsaken all the time.

Hunter - Come on, its vanilla hunter. If youre not completely brain dead youll be fine.

Rogues - Good damage. Easily peeled unless its a gnome.

Druid - Another great FC choice. Viable heals if geared correctly. Has roots and Nature's Grasp which are pretty nice.

Shaman - Pretty much does anything. Has great heals and purge makes them a real issue for other casters / enemy buffs.

1.8 I will add that! Thank you

Wrynn is alliance only and shaman was horde only in vanilla. Paladin is ally only.

 

Nah you’re okay dude, glad someone brought it up so that the information is here in the thread for when people start rolling classic
I edited the chausses. Good catch man.

 

Very good points but I think I disagree with a few just from what I see currently playing vanilla 19s:
Paladin FC is not inferior to Druid. We use one now with great success.https://legacyplayers.com/Armory/?charid=894994
Shaman heals are excellent, very good. They’re a must for horde for premades offensive team for pouch purges as well as agm purges and slows.
Fire mage does insane damage. Like 450+ crits damage not to mention you lose absolutely no cc ability playing fire mage other than the rank one FB. You still have nova and poly. Fire mage on offense in a premade is deadly.
Shadow gear stacked warlock hits like a Mac truck.
Warrior is a NECESSITY for premades. In fact, we use two. Hamstring is ungodly and they do wild damage.
We’ve placed a one hunter limit on premades and it’s the best thing we’ve ever done. Allows extra skill classes to play.

Edit: we’ve also banned all consumables with the exception of health and mana potions and bandages
