They just can't simply fight 1 vs 1 with a similar level. They always run in that case.

I think it's pretty easy to see why based on what people read prior to starting WoW classic. Pretty much everywhere you go you read how priests are fucking amazing across the board. You're also told that Paladins are garbage tanks and druids are situational at best. Also only roll a hybrid if you want to heal.
Basically it created a situation where people only use warrior to tank and ultimately lots of warriors want to DPS instead.
Personally I'm happy as I rolled a Druid. I just alternate between tank/heals/DPS depending on what's needed. Probably the most underrated part of the leveling experience as a Druid.
I did RFD last night with a Druid tank and Shaman DPS and they were both talking about how they'll be forced to go resto at 60. :-(
Chances are if I level those I'll happily heal anyway.
You know RP servers are great and all but they should really make it so it uses a first name last name system because you can't get any fuckin name holy shit!
What's a good east coast PVP server? I know one was filled with Streamers. I created a character on Thalnos and barely saw any English then read its like the unofficial Brazil server and another server might be mostly other South American countries and I know no Spanish.
Edit: looking at the newer servers. Has anyone played on Kromcrush?

What are you looking for? Faction balance, or tilted one way? High pop with queues, or medium without?
Going horde, so I'm not expecting to be fully balanced but something close and preferably a server that hits High. Also looking to avoid streamer servers or servers taht are majority not English.
Went to Westfall this afternoon to get myself a red defias mask, which is a rogue rite of passage, and am all set for WC tonight. Hopefully can then to SFK straight after. Happy to do SFK a ton of times cos I'd absolutely jizz if I got Shadowfang or Assassin's Blade. 🤤
Gonna do my best to do both dungeons without a hunter (or another rogue) in the party so I get all the +agi leather stuff. Oh and the Venomstrike bow yes plz
I F'n love WC!

Grobbulus, Benediction, Incendius, Kromcrush, Blaemeux are all relatively balanced high pop servers, mostly skewed somewhat toward horde.
Do you inherit any hit chance? I mean in the sense that you start of with say 5 and you need gear to got to that 8-9%?

Grob is virtually streamer-free and has a 52/48% A/H split last I check. I've never heard of non-English speakers there, and it hits High pop on weekends and evenings consistently.
It is an RP-PVP server and not plain old PVP, however.
At what point do Paladins become virtually unkillable? I hear all about how Paladins have somewhat low damage, but that they can solo elite quests and tank 4 mobs at a time without any problems. I'm level 15 now and I'm super squishy. Fighting two mobs at my level and I'll come close to dying.
I don't play a paladin but keep in mind level 15 is very early. Many classes don't really come into their own until the big skill gains at level 20 or even level 30.
edit: looks like paladins get Divine Shield (aka "bubble") at level 34. That is a key ability
It's 8% for yellow attacks but for a complicated reason it's actually 9%. If you have 5 weapon skill from human or orc racials, it goes to 6%. Should be top priority for all melee.
For casters it's 17% I think? I might be wrong.
I use TradeSkillMaster but I believe Auctioneer has the same bug where it uses the retail auction times so 24 is really 12 and 48 is really 24.
lmao me and a friend were 52 and leveling in searing gorge when we accidentally killed this gnome who was super low with an aoe and it seemingly started world war 3.
The zone was super crowded and about 5 minutes after that kill a group of 2 alliance rushed us and then some more horde came to help and after we barely survived the fight we went outside and no joke it seemed like every player was fighting another player. It basically became impossible to quest for about 45min.

man starting a new character, people in elwynn are rude as shit now as opposed to the start of the server
Was kind of in a slump as i hit 32 because all the zones were full to the brim, and there was a lot of random ganking going on.
Right now i'm back in full swing. Started going to zones that are a little below my level, and i can kill mobs faster, get more rewards and gold, and breeze through most of the quests.
Just hit 36 last night in Desolace, my professions are all at or near 225.
I've had a lot of spontaneous grouping, helpful players everywhere, playful banter during dungeons.
This game is good.

Yeah they fixed that bug in a beta release which I downloaded, but even with the time correction to 24h I'm convinced the 24h option gets me 12h of actual AH time. Which is incorrect, right?
Ended up doing WC with another rogue. Skum dropped the cloak and the other rogue got it. :\ I didn't mind so much, cos I wanted the dagger but ehh it's still annoying. Loads of mail dropped but our tank was a druid so it all went to waste. Still need more wailing essence and serpentbloom so it's an excuse to run it again, and get to level 21. Hopefully Venomstrike drops too. I reckon I'd probably just use that bow forever, given how little I actually use ranged attack.
Hopefully I can play my priest tonight with my friend and build up some rested xp on my rogue.
Ahhhh!
I hit 40 last night with 80G in my pocket. Being a shaman I looked at my skills and just bough Chain Heal, and the ability to wear Mail armor. Each cost 1g8s a piece.
I put a ton of stuff on the AH last night and woke up to another 12G, so I'm sitting around 91G right this second. It's worth noting there is also about 14G worth of skills from my class trainer I haven't bothered to pick up yet. I'll get there, I just don't see the point in learning FlameTongue Rank 3 when I only use Windfury and Rockbiter.
I got super luck over the weekend. Friday someone was listing full stacks of Mithril ore with a Buyout of like 9G (Which is never gonna sell on our server), but the initial bid was like 60s. and there were 3 stacks listed this way. So I got 3 stacks of Mithril for less than 2G and just threw the right back up on the AH.
Lately I've been offering my own discounts. So if I have a 20 stack of Mithril, I'll sell 10 of them for 10s each, and then I'll sell 5 sets of 2 for 19s. Basically giving a tiny discount. It's worked like everytime, too.

Just wait till you meet corpse gankers, the absolute worst motherfuckers. Had 2 gnomes kill me like 5 times until I got some higher levels to help.
There are better boots in I think UBRS anyway and since they're not "pre-BiS", no one ever wants them.
This morning I killed the same rare mob three times in the span of about 10 mins. Not sure how that happened, but I will take the 3 easy greens. 😆
So I'm looking to start leveling a farming alt to my holy priest main. I'l be picking up herb/alchemy as professions but I'm torn between mage and hunter. They're both great solo target farmers while the mage will be able to aoe farm DME and the hunter will be able to do DM Tribute runs in the future. I'm a bit more intrigued by the gameplay and general sustain of the hunter but the wide utility of a mage seems more useful.
Anyone able to sway me in one way or another?

Play whatever is most fun. You won't be farming all the time.
Hillsbrad is active but Stranglethorn Vale is on another level at least on Incendius. It's a blood-soaked warzone. You can practically hear Fortunate Son playing as you roll up to Grom'gol in the zeppelin.
Never played hunter but its easily more of an AFK class than mage. Mage has utility which means more effort, generally. AoE farming is great though.
Is it wrong that I actually wish it did play as you entered the zone?
Wow, grats. 90g all in.

I should've grabbed two gathering professions. Blacksmithing is just gathering dust, and not the kind of dust I can sell. Even in end-game I'm more of a farmer of materials to sell rather than crafting goods just because the returns may be smaller but more immediate. I really liked the synergy of Jewlecrafting/Mining because of prospecting but I can't have that here.
The only tough part is that you can't track both at the same time. Maybe it doesn't even matter right now. Mining is more than enough to support me atm since I got my mount at level 40.

I haven't played in over a decade. Is it worth picking up a trade as an early rogue? Right now I'm just skinning and gathering herbs to make money.
Those are great professions. Maybe pick up First Aid as well if you haven't. But those professions are fine.
Skinning is another gathering professions that doesn't require a tracker on your minimap.
Yeah I was thinking about that too. Maybe I'll wait until I'm 60. Though I do wonder how fast I could catch my skinning back up to mobs around level 40. Too bad I already did the nesingwary quests. a skinning dream.
Skinning must be the easiest profession to level up. There's dead stuff everywhere just waiting for you.
Leveling skinning is insanely easy. You can basically always put yourself in areas where you will get guaranteed skill ups and you can max out skinning on low level 40 mobs. It probably wouldn't take more than going Mulgore, Barrens, STV, ferales
