@Not Drunk James The majority of classic WOW players will come from the current WOW player base. Once you are the other side of letting go of your wow account it is a stark realization of how bad the the whole experience actually is too your well being. 'Wow killers' have mostly failed because they cannot match the 'investment' players put into their Wow accounts. If classic Wow can pull players away from their modern Wow accounts, they will find it much easier to let go of classic later* We'll see. *That being said, if Blizzard pulled off a full rewind and long time players started the journey all over again, that would be quite spectacular, scary but nonetheless amazing.

When I started vanilla I was shit, then I randomly met a druid who became my friend, she taught me how to tank and tested me by pulling extra mobs when I least expected to see how I coped with it. Still friends to this day, but one of the best things she taught me about foresight as a tank was if you needed to use taunt, you'd failed at tanking (unless it was a specific mechanic that needed you to taunt). The idea being if I needed to use taunt I hadn't been paying attention or keeping myself prepared for the unexpected. I ended up being main tank for my guild and raided all the way to naxx 40, so I'm always grateful for her turning me from a shit tank into a good one who was able to help push the guild forward in raids. It felt great!

Enemy can Dodge and Parry attacks which degreeses your Threat and some Hyper-DPS like Mages can only go Single-Target and not AoE everything down in seconds.

Asmongold has spoken time and time again that his average viewer is between 12-16yrs old... with only about 10-15% of his audience falling in the 20-30yrs age gap that WE represent.

@Preach Gaming Shield slam actually does a huge amount of threat in an attack, it's just usually not worth using it until you have a pretty good block value. But far as I can tell, with more recent math and understanding of how threat and such works, deep prot is the way to go as a full time tank, with some in arms and fury. Also, Battle Shout generates threat on enemies for each party member buffed by it, so weaving it into your rotation in groups of mobs is a good habit to get into. Edited: Corrected shield slam's usage

As someone with no interest in trying Classic myself, I'm really interested in hearing your views of Classic after level 30. Most notably, do you think this enjoyment would continue long term? As you've said before, the core gameplay itself is not particularly good, but you seem to have found your joy in the older style of tanking specifically. Do you think that will be enough to carry you through some of the more tedious aspects of the game? Do you think you would be enjoying yourself in any other role where you don't have that factor of tank management to keep the combat more involved for you? Most content creators that are hyping up Classic at the moment don't seem to really have a good explanation for their fondness of it, it generally comes off as just enjoying experiencing the game in such a different way, but I feel your perspective could have a lot more insight into what is actually enjoyable about it.

One hundred percent agree on the tanking minigame and "keeping things moving". Watching your threat on each mob, evaluating the next pack, marking CC targets if necessary, checking your healer's mana to see if you can continue chaining or need to take a break (which you can only do after monitoring them for the first 10 minutes to see how efficiently they use their mana in the first place). The hyper-awareness of so many moving parts allows a TRULY talented tank will single handedly craft a satisfying dungeon experience front to back, and is one of my favorite parts of the game to play as well. P.S. Nice to see you picked up the Wing Blade. You not being on the Leaders of the Fang quest in WC made me cry XD

Dude, "Deep Prot" is the shit. I used to do it all the time, not only do you make yourself basically invulnerable, you're also a stun machine. When you're almost at 50% chance to stun on EVERY REVENGE? You are constantly stunning targets. Also, the rage generation with level 5 Shield specialization is sick because it's every time you block. Shield slam does a shitload of damage, because everyone misses the part about "Modified by your shield block value". So you're a blocking/threat/stun machine that's basically invulnerable. Takes a ton of heat off the healers.

Aggro management, threat management, and dungeon knowledge was quite important to learn. Like the old rule of not attacking a target full on till the tank had five sunders on it, some could do it that had either a good control of thier threat or abilities to deal with threat, but also knowing so many ways of pulling groups to make it easier to defeat them an group them up. Like when I switched to a paladin tank in BC i would use line of sight so much in shadow halls , which also having so many undead an demons made it that I could use my holy long range attack nice for pulling groups instead of using my shield or face pullig them.

Nah, Warriors in Retail still have most of these abilities, they simply have no real need to use them outside PvP

If I recall, full Prot builds didn't become viable until later in the game with all the balance patches, but late-game is when you want to do things like Fury-Prot anyway (for the extra threat from your damage that lets your raid hold back less).

Im sure the other group members can step up a bit if you’re still learning, instead of just expecting you to cover all their slack. I’m joking of course. Learning will be stressful. But you’ll be fine in the end I’m sure 😊.

Dont worry about it! Its different than retail but not really harder, you just have to keep track of different things (like Preach said, what enemies have you hit how many times, did they dodge/parry, rage management, ...). You learn that stuff quite fast in low level dungeons where its not a wipe if a mob hits a clothy 2-3 times. If you want an easier time (and also min-max a little bit), go for engineering - those bombs really help! Keep it up and enjoy your time!

Taunt is a failure, I love that quote! That is exactly how I view tanking as well in classic! (Which is why I am going to be a pally tank) because of the tank is doing his job correctly, taunt is merely a worst case scenario spell.

Preach, do you think you will release some class guides once Classic hits? I have played a resto druid from the beginning, and have decided to change it up and roll a mage for my main, so any help would be appreciated.

I was a tank (dungeon/raid) pretty much all vanilla and tbc and loved it. I quit at the end of tbc just from burn out of basically feeling like I was being forced to login all the time 'for the good of the guild'. When I came back (just before mop) I just couldn't get the same feeling back. At the time I thought it was the fear of being forced to be on all the time but I'm beginning to realise it was more that it was just more fun back in the day. Sure the classes were crap and you pretty much just hit 2-3 buttons but having to think about aggro, target swapping etc.. just added a skill to the game that appealed to me. Used to love getting complimented on my threat holding, survivability, etc.. dammit! Wasn't interested in classic but these vids are getting the old nostalgia juices flowing

Classic and Bc tanking was such a blast. I can still remember a run I had in Uldaman back then and how good it felt managing aggro on so many different targets. If you did a good job you also got complimented way more back then seeing as the difference between a bad and a decent tank was very noticeable.
@SpocksBro5 жыл бұрын
Not sure if Preach remembers but back in classic the earth shock spell used to generate additional threat. Not quite clear why they decided to create such a spell for the shaman but that's how it worked.
