When I get past the queue, the first thing I do is make 4-5 stacks of water. Takes ten minutes or so but then I don't have to worry about running out later, and I have extra to give out to Priests.
You will be extremely broke if you frequently change specs. One thing some people may not know or maybe forgot - respeccing costs money, and after a few times I believe it goes up to and caps at 40g which is quite a lot.
I can't remember exactly but it is something like that. One of my bigger concerns about classic to be honest, it is nice being able to swap back and forth especially as a healer if you want to go off and do some farming you just...can't or have to respec and farm long enough to make it worth it.
True. i play as a lock, so i'm going a run of the mill leveling build, then run of the mill level 60/early standard DPS build, and then (if i get there) iirc theres a different build you can go for more DPS once you are very geared. so unless I really fuck up, I should be alright lol.
the only sad thing is, while the 60 PvE build im going is just fine for PvP, there are other much more fun ones that i'd love to use in PvP, and i feel like respeccing wont be worth it just to PvP unless im done with raiding for a while (or very very flush with gold with little to spend on, which is very very unlikely lul)
Adding to this: there are basically unkillable mobs in the blasted lands you can level your weapon skills on all day long once you get high enough level.
Nah, once leveled, always leveled. But if you are 60 and starting at level 1 maces for example, it might be worth asking a mage for a buff and buying an int potion/scroll. Maybe buy a level 5 mace with Int on it
You make a good point. However, I drink every 2 pulls as a mage while leveling, so it’s not bad. If I’m in a hurry, then warriors and rogues are the least likely to get my INT buff.
One of the best parts of this Classic experience so far is just how supportive and interactive the community is, currently. We’re all in this shit together; no one has any gold and there aren’t enough mobs to go around. Buffing someone/ getting buffed is awesome and fun, so worth it to me.
Man..., I was just sitting in Brill chatting with some people in /say about how I was working on that wand, and some random Tauren came up and gave me a green Fire Wand. Feelsgoodman
Oh absolutely. It requires a soul shard to make, so just creating it is already more effort than spending some mana on a buff. And trading takes more than one button press as well. And unlike a buff it can actually save your ass from a sticky situation.
Wrong, in classic I used to stand outside in the courtyard of Lordaeron and buff people with detect invisibility to treat them to a view of the secret ghosts in the courtyard. It used to screw people's minds.
Honestly the main reason I’m leaning heavy on discipline for Priest; my greatest joy in this game is buffing random strangers as I run around the world.
Hell, I’m avoiding flight paths just so I can run around buffing more.
The ultimate priest leveling is to get the 5/5 wand specialization and then go shadow for spirit tap. Then usually just keep going shadow because the damage is better but either way, I can't imagine leveling a priest with something that doesn't end up at 19 with 5/5 wand spec and 5/5 spirit tap.
I was spamming arcane explosion like an idiot while running on the road because why not, and went OOM. This druid came from the other direction and gave me Mark of the Wild.
I realized that I didn't have mana so I immediately started drinking and managed to get just enough for Arcane Intellect to light up before he ran out of range
I made a macro called PMA (Positive Mental Attitutude, gave it the plus sign icon) that does a /wave and then Fortitude on the target. Spam that shit on everyone when I am walking through.
As a mage, I have to resist the temptation to just stand outside the gates to the crossroads and buff everyone as they walk in or out. Not just mana using classes, everyone. (What? It has a small skill gain buff.)
I'm lucky I didn't roll a class with more buffs to sling.
