      I'm watching streamers that have beta, but never play it. They're giving accounts with level 16's access like yours. I'm missing 3 rogue BiS items and I've done all but 5 quests in the game (scarab lord raid quests and abyssal sceptors) and I still don't have access to test... just seems really biased. I wanted to bug test and try out builds, but now I'm just losing all interest in ever logging in again.

    zirene is like the worst player to ask regarding questing and levling. sounds like he literally want a button to click to get to lvl 70. how about removing the ledges? or the things that you use to jump up on the ledges. how about blocking the entrances to the ledges so that the mobs evade and reset? there are more ways to stop the boosting without affecting the classes.

    @33:20 The discussion about the warriors, looked into the video to see if I could spot what kind of spec they were.
    Shameless is Arms with Cataclysms Edge
    Shaltika is DW with the Warglaive set.
    Not saying Warriors will be good/bad, just saying you're taking an ideal gearing in t6. I've not delved further into the video to see if Sunder/Expose were up on every trash pack.
    Would like to see Zirene put together a melee comp on raid testing later today to try it out.

      @@OzzyOstwand The Blacksmithing weapon is only BIS in the main hand, it's already worse in the offhand than T5 weapon drops, and Dragonstrike is replaced by Warglaives which is an absolutely massive increase in dps. Dual wielding the blacksmith maces is still good even if it's not BIS, but it's not even possible on Classic TBC as they are mainhand restricted until Sunwell releases.
      And for Arms, blacksmithing sword is only BIS until Kael'thas Sword, and it's quite a lot worse than Cataclysm's Edge from Hyjal.

    Solution to mage boosting that avoids stealth boosting would be to have a multiplier on a buff that ticks up as you get a kill that consumes for large xp on a boss kill.

    Warglaives will be bis single target dps for warriors regardless of what argument you make. Yes 2 slow weapons for trash is bis but for single target warglaives will always be bis, far above anything else. Whirlwind damage makes up such a small amount of your single target dps.

    An economists approach to the boosting problem is to just buff questing. If you want people to do it: Incentivize it. People fundamentally chase what they perceive to be valuable. The current discussion on TBC leveling has mage boosting firmly in the lead in that regard. It's not ideal but the original spirit of the game will never be replicated for the reasons outlined in here "its not them it's us".

You could also nerf xp from boosting to close the gap even further. I personally have nothing against boosting but there is something to be said about the sentiment being a reflection of player's sentiments on how rewarding the questing experience is.

Anyone can innovate new speedrun strats and beat what Progress is doing if they believe they are better at not just execution but innovation as well.
      In snowboarding for example, my competitor wouldn't expect me to show them how I do every trick I have saved up or expect to have time to take my best trick and perfect it before the final contest. You prepare before the contest and if you're not ready with your own strat and innovation on the day that's on you - not your competitor.

    He's spot on to what I think people have been overlooking with these comp calculators. They're juggling modifiers, with no regard to base damage, what are you modifying?

    Dual-wielding Blacksmithing weapons is currently not possible on Classic, and will not be until Sunwell. Even if it was it's not the optimal setup, the proc doesn't stack so you'd just run one in the main hand. Warriors in T5 are gonna be scrambling over Rod of the Sun King and Talon of Azshara for the offhand, also gotta hope for Dragonspine Trophy to actually drop. I love the idea of the Warrior novelty stack, but you're gonna run into issues.
    Think about Kael'thas, how you gonna kill Kael'thas with half a raid full of Fury Warriors, they can't generate rage on his pyro shield. Or think about trying to kill Vashj, all those Warriors get rooted in poison and half your raid is wiped out in an instant. They definitely do a lot of dps, but there are other issues.

    I think the sunder argument has some validity, but at the end of the day it's only making caster comps look stronger. Even with 6-7 warriors in the raid it's gonna take a little while to get everything sundered up on trash. Depending on how quickly things die that might be too much of a ramp up time on every pull compared to just going full blast right away with a caster comp.
    It's also worth considering that BT and Sunwell are very much opposites when it comes to trash-boss ratios. A moving wrecking ball comp might do really well in BT where there's a ton of trash and a lot of "weaker" bosses, but in Sunwell there's way less trash (with a higher proportion of "big mob" pulls) and all of the bosses are designed to take a lot of time.
    Overall, if you don't have a super flexible roster I think a caster comp will be much more suited to deal with most of the raid content, and be much more flexible, while a melee comp might find it's stronger very specifically for just BT.

  • @JustinAndrewNash
    @JustinAndrewNash 3 года назад

    you guys had some interesting discussion about raid variability for speed run comps. One thing I'm looking forward to is more experimentation by top end raids. I feel like with classic due to the 40 man raid comps and the high stakes nature of DMF and full wbuffed runs, guilds are less inclined to experiment with raid compositions. Do we know for sure that a 25 mage comp with extensive trash pulling isn't viable? Not really, but no one's ever gonna try it so who cares. Hopefully with reduced raid size and less "only 2 runs per month matter" will encourage guilds to branch out and try to shift the meta.

  • @Zetgeist

    giving exp from dungeon bosses instead of trash is what they do in FFXIV. You still have to implement it properly though, because if the exp per boss is not balanced right, people will just kill the first boss or two and reset, because it's more time efficient than doing the whole dungeon. Though I suppose the instance cap solves that problem. People will still want to kill trash for rep though and might still want mage to boost them for that reason instead.

  • @mourbonaventure7475
    @mourbonaventure7475 3 года назад

    If instance cap is 30 you will be 70 and instance capped for 3 days... then it doesn't impact you at all... Instance cap is good. Instance cap was not to stop mage boosters. It was to stop bot exploits... For example, they could hack to the end of dire maul and farm 3 nodes instantly and repeat.

    People need to chill on the hate to mage boosting. I have levelled 3 characters to 60 boost free (and have two others I am actively levelling via questing) throughout the span of the game and I have never had my ability to enjoy it soured knowing that just behind the corner is a group AFK in SM getting phat xp. I feel like it is a super loud and grouchy minority that is really upset about this, and I think it has more to do with them being a puritan concerned with how others play the game more so than how it actually impacts them.
    Play on a high pop server and you will see more people out in the world this phase than I remember seeing in vanilla. We have to remember these servers have a lot more players on them than back in the day. I don't play on any low pop servers, so I can't really speak to what the experience there is like.

    I really like the idea of melee comps in t6 content but i would rotate out the prot warrior entirely and play double feral + prot paladin and let the prot be the maintank on bosses. Paladins have insane threat against all the demons and the ferals can do kinda decent dps in catform while not tanking bosses. And u can kick the debuff on RoS and with the right gear a paladin can also tank illidan.
    Archimonde is kinda different but speedruns in MH are probably a joke anyway and u can swap the prot paladin with a warrior at that point anyway
