@@rattlehead999I’d say legion is where the love stops. I enjoyed all up until the point that’s when the real shift started to what we have today on retail
@@conorf8091 True, Legion was the first modern expansion, but Dragonflight is almost nothing like Legion and BFA. I also think that Legion and BFA are great, outside of PVP. I also preferred a more complex class design, but nowadays anything WotLK and above is good with me. Shadowlands would have been great if there was no time gating and was alt-friendly, and had 4 raid tiers.
a little pro tip for all the tanks, especially dk tanks out there in cata: the tol barad resistance trinket is not only good in early cata, its also fabulous against baloroc in firelands. dk tanks also keep hands on your sindragosa res trinkets. with the sindragosa and the tol barad trinket dk tanks can cheese baloroc and solo tank him but thats only possible with both of these trinkets.
Hey man, I’m an old wow player and have recently returned to play cataclysm after 12 year break and absolutely loving it. One question I desperately want the answer to, is how do you get the little Tank, Healer, and DPS icons on your party members portraits at 6:25 ? I remember this being normal back in the day when I played wow, but since returning, it’s been driving me INSANE in dungeons as a healer when I’ve not been able to see who the tank is, as my party group portraits don’t have their role icons like yours do. I’ve scoured the options but couldn’t see anything. In the end I’ve resorted to changing party icons to raid frames as this shows me the role icons, but it means I can’t see healers Mana so when I’m playing tank I keep pulling sometimes without realising the healer needs to regen. PLEASE can you be a star and tell me how to get the role icons in dungeons on party frames?
Cata is the MOST alt friendly expansion WoW has ever had for a large number of reasons. There isn't a ton of upkeep on a toon once you get through the initial hump, so you will have PLENTY of time to spend with alts. =)
Is there a chance that you make some dungeon guides ? Since there are some tricky trahs packs and boss mechanics, they seem to be quite essential for a smooth run.
I have actually been thinking about it, but that’s not something I want to tackle on a private server for a myriad of reasons, namely how they are going to be balanced, if we do get pre nerf heroics, a private server will not do it justice. So if I get lucky and get a beta key dungeons are my first priority
Therazane exalted shoulder enchants were not BoA in Cataclysm. Even to this day on live servers, they are not BoA. You may be seeing them as BoA on your private server.
Sooner or later, you reach saturation point with vanilla. I was hopeful and kept going back to seasons and hardcore on the chance that classic plus became a thing. Now after playing SoD things are clearly in focus for me. Seasons are dead ends. I really liked the class balancing (within limits) and the rune system, even though it's just mechanics from later expansions. But it seems pretty clear there's no actual new raiding/5man content that doesn't involve a majority of recycled content. Maybe there will be a Kara crypts, I don't know, but endlessly replaying vanilla content shows me a couple of things - I'm really good at it after all this practice and it's become a chore. It's also unclear how blizzard is going to handle the power creep towards endgame. Some of the BFD loot is comparable to mid 40's dungeon drops. What will Gnomer loot be like? Inevitably when we get to existing endgame content will they fall back on their standard strategy.. buff MC boss HP and damage but nothing else new? So, I'll keep an open mind for classic plus but it's a fair way down the track (at the soonest after SoD) if it happens. I'll probably keep a presence in SoD but now that Wrath is done, I'm looking forward to Cata.
They should add m+ and great vault to SOD and cata . It’s the only content that is actual challenging and you can push your character and your dps to its fullest using full utility
Does anyone know ho wlong it takes to get from Honoured to Exalted with earthern ring and wildhammer etc ? im wondering if ill be able to get 3-4 of them to exalted in 2 weeks xD
Going back and doing quests at lvl 85 for gold and rep would be the worst thing you could do. You'd rather just spam heroics and get 1 boe in 5 dungeons and sell it for few thousands of gold early on or even the disenchanting materials you get from disenchant rolls would be more worthwhile for gold, and in terms of rep, just get to the lvl you can grab the tabard and grind away the rep of your choosing. Cap on justice and full 346 ilvl? Convert it to profession materials, ez. Don't do quests for those reasons at lvl 85, trust.
What do you mean? You don't like the improvements to azeroth leveling or you're not sure why someone wouldnt pre-level a character now during wrath? Or you simply don't like cata? Either way your statement makes 0 sense, please clarify.
It's actually hilarious how everyone who doesn't like cata has absolutely nothing to say about why they don't like it beyond #1: the old world is gone and #2 the game is too hard. So basically you suck at the game or you suck at the game, either way just go back to animal crossing. We don't want bad players mucking everything up cuz you can't even follow a basic mechanic 😂
@@ahetzel9054 theres a million things wrong with cata that have nothing to do with the old world its the class design changes and reworks i could go on forever about trash warlock design changes for one example. its hilarious you think raiding is hard in any expansion you are a monkey
Lol what? Cata is the last best expansion. If you don't like it don't play, you've got your hardcore vanilla game for those who want the most boring watered down experience of auto attacking till 60. Purely garbage game Design. The only people who like it are the ones who don't like pressing more than 2 buttons because they're not skilled enough for a complex rotation or actual mechanics.. or simply want to play a warrior and walk all over everyone else without struggle. Vanilla was bad, No matter how you slice it.
Cant wait, really feel most will end up enjoying it a lot more than they think
I think the prejudace against Cata is too high for people to enjoy it, but I think more people will enjoy it than expected. Same goes for WoD and BFA.

Uldum and Twilight Highlands are such good zones I cant wait to play Cata again
@timselbach9194personally I love uldum far more than the others. The Harrison Jones quests were hilarious
I'm pretty sure they mentioned that they wanted to keep the dungeons pre-nerf in a recent Q&A :) I'm super excited as well
I'd love confirmation of this. Those launch heroics were perfectly challenging
Pretty sure they said they are not sure yet lol
Orzuk ptsd
Thank you very much for this video! I always struggle at the start of an xpac with direction. This helps a ton :)
Finally, a WoW RUclipsr that shares my love for Cataclysm!
I will watch your career with great interest.

Which weak auras are you using on your dk?
is this the expansion where GearScore disappears and Item Level takes over?
can't wait cata realize. my 1st exansion i entered wow.

Yes mate, Im aware they weren't but I recommend you take a look at the Sons of Hodir in wrath - no reason that shouldn't be repeated in cataclysm.
@@TheMightyKarrot It would be nice, but the Sons of Hodir shoulder enchants were originally BoA back in the day. This wasn't a change for Classic.

Probably whitemane. Great server but it's been dying after DS came out.
deepholme was fun to mine before it was nerfed.

Yep, it's just like WotLK, but better. And future patches have more things to do like the Molten Front.
I hope they completely remove Archaeology. It is the worst
Question yourself as to why you leveled in cataclysm classic.
Loved leveling in cata was so smooth

Best plan is ...wait for the launch of Cata...Then hit uninstall....Cata is why we wanted Classic
You can play vanilla, old man. A lot of us want to play cata
Pandaria is why i uninstaled. Cata was great 😘

You should uninstall this shit game and never look back.
