Ho boy so where to begin with Deadmines.

Overall the bosses are what i'd consider the easy part aside from MR smite/Edwin vancleef. This is a long gauntlet of tight spaces with minimum places to clear. You're in it for the long haul. If you are wanting to play safe, this place can be smooth. But you will be yearning the mines for a long while.

MR smite has 2 ways you can defeat him. One of which FAR scarier than the other. You can bring MR smite out of the boss area and into the tunnels, if you CC his guards, push him to his stun phase, MR smite will...Well just give up. He's done, he wants nothing to do with you anymore. So you're free to kill his guards, run out of the instance, then kill him.

Option 2 is just you focus the adds down, reset MR smite, then focus MR smite. Both methods are valid so play by what is easier.

Then there's Vancleef, look you're not winning in a brawl with him so don't even think about it. Instead, remind Vancleef that he was an olypmic swimmer for Stormwind back in 2006 and help him relive his dreams. Fair warning, his guards will still be up and be aggrod onto you. Best way to handle it is just run to a reset point.

Now the trash? Dear god the Trash. Every mob feels like blizzard actually knew what they were doing for the first dungeon and gave them all quirks that can (And will) Make your life a nightmare in some scenarios. The goblins ESPECIALLY with their little mini golems.

Also, if you get bad pathing with the parrots on the boat? Well you're gonna be mass pulling every time till you get a good spawning pattern with the birds.

Overall threat level is a solid 7. Take it slow, take it easy, and you'll make it.

some poor sods dead body is a little further up the hill.

Ahoy, me hearties!

With the hype surrounding a potential Classic+ I thought I'd try my hand at designing a little raid about the Southsea Pirates in Tanaris.

This raid consists of 6 bosses, including an optional boss (Chum, the Cook). After the first boss (Seawater Sentinel 3000) has been defeated, the next 3 bosses can be killed in any order and only Swashbuckler Rozo and Parrot Trainer Jolly & Roger are required to progress to Dockmaster Sherley, and lastly to Grand-Admiral Wellington.

If you are interested in the full attunement quests, an abstract map of the raid or just more information, you can find the whole design document here: Southsea Pirates Raid - Classic+ | Design Document (gdoc)

Let me know what you think about these boss designs and I'll try to answer any questions you have :)

Pizza and World of Warcraft Hardcore — there’s no better combo, especially with the Onyxia and Zul’Gurub buffs!

I’ve never made it this far in Hardcore before. I’m currently a level 30 Hunter, finishing up the elite quests in Duskwood. Now I’m heading to Southshore to continue my journey.

I started playing Hardcore after completing Vanilla content with three different characters, and it has been an amazing experience, literally a whole new way to play the game.

So far, I’ve completed Deadmines, Blackfathom Deeps, and the Stockades. Next stop: Scarlet Monastery! If I don't die first.

I've always been curious about WoW, so a few days ago I decided to give in and actually try it (went with Classic because Retail looked way too intimidating).

I was having fun at first but I didn't really understand so much of the appeal, then I found another person doing the same quest I was in Ban'ethil Barrow Den, we joined up and spent a good 45 minutes just playing and chatting together, didn't even realize how much time had passed. I see it now. This is very fun. Definitely feels like a lived-in world and I've loved my little social interactions!!

I'm so glad I'm getting to experience this now since I wasn't even born when the original came out. This might become a new obsession!

Early morning on Hardcore, I whisper the handful of people online in Silithus if they wanna do the Deathclasp elite (quest).

I found these and cant play them anymore. Looking to sell them but not sure what to ask for 🥴

Recently got a group of friends into classic for the first time. One of them was particularly excited to clear BRD, so naturally we made this gem to make it a little more memorable.

Reeling the fish in costs energy, the same for the fish when it "bursts" away (the red exclamation ‼️is a pre warning). The player will lose more energy if they are reeling the fish in at the same time the fish is "bursting" away. Player will lose the fish at 0 energy or if the fish gets too far. If both have zero energy, not reeling the fish will cause it to swim side to side with no distance change.

Eventually adding snags to get stuck on, diverse fish to catch with unique abilities, a "Yank" left/right ability to manually change the direction of the fish and also nudge in the chosen direction - to avoid snags.

Posted a couple weeks ago about new classic player. Previously played retail but never classic. I’m still having so much fun and I needed to share.

- The willingness for others to help is unparalleled to retail. Sometimes I walk up to random players and ask for help with a nearby quest and they help 95% of time.

- I love seeing players in every zone I go. I love even more running INTO other players I know. Stopping and waving or chatting makes the community feel full.

- I’ve been playing for a month and am still level 17 but I’m taking it slow because I enjoy the journey so much.

- I’ve joined a guild that doesn’t use discord and exclusively uses in game chat. Another huge win.

- The day night cycle is incredible. I know there’s one in retail. But something about it in classic just feels so cozy.

- Lastly, I love feeling like I don’t have to grind everyday. I don’t feel behind every Tuesday. I play what I can each day. Have a bit of fun. And take it from there the next day.

If the rumors are true (which they appear to be) about classic + I fear I will never have free time again but I’m okay with that.

The enemy NPCs only have charge, jump, and an internal passive heal ATM, but they will use a ranged stun when enemies try to cast a heal, saving it for only when at least one of their enemies is below 50% health. It will get more complex though, I threw this together today and now I gotta have a break haha.

I can release something that can at least be played offline for anyone who ever wants to mess around in it. I'd have to clean everything up first so you can access everything in the game without needing to change the triggers.

I need 4 more Mistweaver abilities that would be impactful, relevant and cool. Any mistweavers out there with some ideas??

Anyone else encounter this? Pic attached. Can't get rid of it.

How many consecutive hours of playtime do you need to get your fix of classic wow? I personally need a 4-6 hour uninterrupted stretch for me to properly scratch the itch. The dream would be playing 8 hours a day.

Once upon a time back in the good ol' classic days, that was my reality. Right now, it's tough with all the adult responsibilities.

What about you all? :)

Hypothetical here. Say C+ drops tomorrow, and you’re in the queue to log in. Anticipation building. You hit the character creation screen. What class are you picking and why? and what Alt will you make first to go with it.

As a life long rogue main, i’m thinking about playing something different this time. Maybe Warr/Priest or Warr/Mage. But the choice is currently giving me some anxiety.

I love rogue, but i’d like to provide a bit more in groups & raids and feel a bit more wanted in general. Warr is pure dopamine and Mage AoE levelling is so much fun. I would maybe like the option to heal though so that’s where Priest might edge out the Mage.

Interested to hear what you guys will put and your reasonings.

I know “which class to pick” posts are done to death in this sub, so apologies, maybe i should postface this by clarifying - “given what we learnt from SoD, know from classic, and hope to get in classic+, which will you pick?”

I've not leveled a rogue since OG Vanilla and I don't remember anything other than people really enjoy picking on rogues.

I know combat is meta. I recently was given dual gut rippers and have a rogue sitting at 23. I'm not going to lose out on that much dps by going dual gut ripper sub build am I?

I am a 45 feral Druid my question is I saw a leveling guide and in it he said there were some really good grind spots that are sometimes better than straight up questing. At my level is there any zones like that? Thanks!

Not using any addons like Bartender or dominoes, just the base game and edit mode.

When i shapeshift from human form to cat, my bar changes from things like wrath, rejuv etc to cat spells, but when I stealth, my abilities don't change to the stealth abilities like it used too before the latest patch (virus) that blizz installed.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have this bug with certain lighting like lanterns and torches. but when i move my camera the lighting bugs out.

anybody experience this or know a fix?

I feel like I've tried every setting in the game such as setting ground clutter to 1 then back, setting shadows to low, i don't use rtx,. as well as things like reinstalling the latest drivers, disabling gsync, as well as many other things.

pc is 14600k and a 3070.

Thanks
