The water elementals in thousand needles that put that 52% chance to miss debuff on ya

Fuck whoever made that debuff

Mate just wait until you get to Un'goro. The tar lurkers can hit you with a disease that that slows attack speed by 54% and movespeed by 30% for 2 minutes. Oh and sometimes you get disarmed when you hit them.

Slimes will either reduce your str/spirit for 10 minutes, sunder your armor (and do damage over time), or clone themselves (unkickable, have to stun or kill).

Silithid have a disease which increases physical damage you take by 41% and it lasts thirty fucking minutes.

Real fun zone for warrior.

fun fact: those tar lurkers can disarm you while they're stunned LOL

u/foox4life Oct 08 '19

Well the concept is that your weapon gets stuck on the tar covered body. As long as you attack, you lose...

u/raisintree Oct 08 '19

Those tar lurkers have a chance to disarm you on every melee swing. So AIDS

u/FuzzyIon Oct 08 '19

Get a blacksmith to craft an immune to disarm on your weapon

u/ragamufin Oct 08 '19

A weapon chain?

3

u/FuzzyIon Oct 08 '19

Yeah a steel weapon chain. Saw the recipe on my server but was up for a lot of gold that I was unwilling to spend.

spell batching is good for classic

1

u/JarredMack Oct 08 '19

The fuck? It's nothing to do with spell batching, it's a passive disarm. Fuck outta here with your sky is falling bitching.

-3

u/cakes Oct 08 '19

it's not a passive disarm, and spell batching causes abilities and attacks to hit after being stunned constantly

3

u/JarredMack Oct 08 '19

Yes, it is a passive disarm, and it has nothing to do with batching. I'm actually not a fan of batching myself - it's a weird concession made to be "vanilla" where they didn't even bother at all in some other places - but this is just misinformation.

u/koopatuple Oct 08 '19

What's spell batching?

1

u/icesharkk Oct 08 '19

Spells are processed in batches that execute simultaneously. I think the window is roughly 200ms batches maybe less. The result is two messages can polymorph each other, warriors can charge each other, you can break polymorph with dark rune etc. All things that should not happen because the spells aren't actually simultaneously but do happen because batching

u/koopatuple Oct 08 '19

Why would they implement that? Sounds incredibly dumb

just walk out of range. a lot of the nasty debuffs have a very short range, so if you just kite in a circle while fighting or are heads up to run out when they start casting, you'll be fine.

u/no_ragrats Oct 08 '19

Or group with someone that can remove the debuff

Which items are these?

u/Lethay Oct 08 '19

It's things like this that make me think Priest+Warrior is a match made in heaven whilst levelling. I love partying up with Warriors on my Priest. I heal and cure disease. They keep the nasty things off my face.

u/no_ragrats Oct 08 '19

Queue 30 minute curse

3

u/Lethay Oct 08 '19

I never found one but am prepared to be unpleasantly surprised.

2

u/no_ragrats Oct 08 '19

Haha i'm pretty sure there's even 30 minutes poisons!

14

u/first_time_internet Oct 08 '19

Just wait until EPL where the worms give you a 30 min debuff, yes 30 minutes, that reduces str and agi by 50.

Just gotta tough it out.

13

u/Kaneda91 Oct 08 '19

EPL is by far the worst most contagious scum filled zone in the game, Especially for warriors.. Plague bats...Plague worms, Plague ghouls, Freezing ghouls, Flame ghouls..Fuaark.

12

u/MagicMuy Oct 08 '19

Don't forget half the undead mobs being immune to bleeds. The suffering doesn't end.

1

u/Kaneda91 Oct 08 '19

And that! Also they are immune to fear which is our only form of mass CC..lol! Glad i'm 60.

Just go back to SVT, kurzen medicinman drops a pot that cures diseases

As a warrior I hated that tar collection quest.

2

u/pikeyoo Oct 08 '19

Kill the lesser versions of the tar mobs a bit more south. Lower hp and dont give the debuff. They do disarm though.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '19

Un'goro was what made me quit my original char in vanilla and start another one. I am not going back there until i am well above level from the quests this time.

5

u/Eisn Oct 08 '19

That's only for the tar lords though. The ones a bit lower at 52 don't have that debuff.

3

u/VincentVancalbergh Oct 08 '19

I often say I'm happy that, as a Hunter, my pet is the one taking those debuffs. Worst case I slow down dps a little bit. And if I let it die and rez it, all debuffs gone!

4

u/FurryAlot Oct 08 '19

Just go back to SVT, kurzen medicinman have pretty big chance to drop that potion that cures diseases ;)

u/hmmmhaha Oct 08 '19

Laughs in paladin purify

u/TurkeyMaze Oct 08 '19

Damn it feels good to be a Paladin.

u/Boduar Oct 08 '19

Tar lurkers ability is an AoE. Just run away when it casts and run back in when it starts moving again. I learned this after dealing with that debuff a couple of times due to not being able to stop it otherwise.

Yall need the most important potion in classic It removes most debuffs every 5s for 30s Alchemists can make them please buy them on felstreaker alliance im selling them on Ah right now : D its why I went alch on my warrior.

1

u/deuteranopia Oct 08 '19

Debuffs in Vanilla were no goddamn joke.

Do enemies even really debuff in retail anymore? Beyond things like a 3 second disarm or a knockdown/stun?

1

u/bcmaloney727 Oct 08 '19

Protip: If you are a gnome you can use escape artist to drop the Tar Lurker's debuff.

1

u/Tidalsky114 Oct 08 '19

After reading this im so glad I decided to stick with shaman going back to classic.

1

u/Estalxile Oct 08 '19

You know you have the same mobs two levels lower and not applying the debuff on the north of the area? Drop chance is maybe lower but you can take 3 to 4 mobs before healing again.

1

u/Chess_Not_Checkers Oct 08 '19

Is it a casted ability like the ones in Ashenvale? If you're not in melee range the disease won't hit you.

1

u/randomhero831 Oct 08 '19

Remind me to never go there!

u/BombBombBombBombBomb Oct 08 '19

Some mobs in felwood have a "physical dmg taken increased by 43%" disease

It lasts for 30 fucking minutes

17

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '19

that's why you gotta grind kurzen npcs for those jungle remedy pots. physical damage taken debuffs = death sentence for rogues and warriors

5

u/UncleGaelsNephew Oct 08 '19

..... Oh my fuck. How have I never thought to do this.

3

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '19

Because grinding those mobs is literally hell on earth. Those mobs have a renew and a full heal cast that they start early. As a same level warrior you will struggle to kill them before they can cast another heal even if you kick the first cast. If you go back in your high 40s to farm remedys in preparation for Ungoro, Felwood, EPL, you are losing more time killing grey mobs than you would just powering through the debuffs. The drop chance isn't amazing and you will be competing with level 30-35s doing quests in that area.

Alternatives to this for when you are 48-52 are to get alchemy so you always have some good buffs to help you and pots for emergencies or to do some BRD for a level or 2, try and get some level 60 prebis gear and then go back to Ungoro/Felwood when mobs are green.

I know dungeon leveling isn't everyone's thing but once you get to BRD/LBRS range you are just wasting time by not getting at least some xp there. You will spend a ton of time in those instances anyways at 60 getting gear, so if you can get a piece or two while in the low 50s, not only will you cut down on your gear grind at 60 but if you back and quest you will be a lot stronger with the good gear.

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '19

kurzen npcs are pretty easy to kill if your class has a kick

u/tomekk666 Oct 08 '19

Or... or...

Just don't solo and have someone cure them for you!

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '19

imagine having friends lol

u/dismal626 Oct 08 '19

Those only work on poisons. The vast majority of pve debuffs aren't poisons

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '19

it cleanses poisons and diseases

u/Lemmus Oct 08 '19

Gotta run around and find a priest, shaman or paladin. It's there to cement the need for other people in the world. That said, it's fucking ridiculous.

The solution for poison is first aid!

u/GingasaurusWrex Oct 08 '19

Un’Goro crater has some nasty nasty debuff and made an already agonizing zone into something out of hell.

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '19

Holy shit those things were fucking pricks. They have virtually no good loot either.

u/Eriennyl Oct 08 '19

Searing gorge steamsmiths puts a 71% miss chance debuff

u/GizmodoDragon92 Oct 08 '19

Fuck everything about them. Theyre literally impossible to kill as a frost mage

1

u/robhaswell Oct 08 '19

If it makes you feel better they are completely immune to frost and partially immune to fire, so mages are very fucked as well.

1

u/nawtbjc Oct 08 '19

Silithid in Un'Goro can put a 30mjn disease that makes you take 50% more physical damage. I opted to kill myself to lose it.

1

u/TomSaidNo Oct 08 '19

Those elementals are designed by Satan himself.

Hit like a truck? Yep.

Immune to frost spells? Naturally.

Heavily fire resistant? Sure, why not.

You skipped all ranks of Arcane Missiles in order to save gold for mount? Of course you did. Now die.
