The skill ceiling for Balance increases by a great deal... not only do you have interesting decisions of exactly when to refresh dots (if you are about to go into an eclipse state it could be worth waiting to refresh), and the usual proc tracking for dot specs, but in addition your AoE is effected by eclipse and is a big thing to think about. Ideally you will want to time it so your eclipse state (preferably solar with three mushrooms waiting), so this might even effect which way you move your bar at the start of a fight. Pretty simple to play, but difficult to truly master. It's really a spec you can sink your teeth into and always feel like you are learning something new.

For these videos do you get the footage from a private server, if so which one? I’m finding it hard to find a private server for Cata that gives instant 85 so that I can test each class. Great video by the way, can’t wait to see the rest of the classes!

@astralfields 3 месяца назад

I'd recommend Whitemane. You can get instant 85s there but those characters can only do PVP. Regular characters are still extremely quick to level. They have massive XP bonuses, both questing and dungeons are super fast. You basically only have to quest until 15 and then you can spam dungeons, and from 20 you can also do archaeology which gives absolutely ridiculous amounts of XP. Once you hit 60, you get a free boost to 80 and full 232 ilvl green sets for each role. You can quest 80-85 in one zone, or spam dungeons, whichever you prefer (though I'd recommend questing, as the 232 gear is not actually great so you'll be weak and squishy, and quests will give you guaranteed huge upgrades). Lastly, every max level toon you have gives you a stacking 15% XP bonus for your next toon. So while it's not quite an instant 85, it's at least a very fast 85, and every subsequent one will be even faster. The leveling is so quick that it's actually a bad idea to get heirlooms, because farming the justice points (and guild rep/gold) to buy all heirlooms will take far longer than the actual leveling process.

@ez6791 3 месяца назад

I'm gonna watch this series even if I barely touch cata hust because I'm very interested in the development progression of the game from classic to current retail. It's changed so much so trying to better understand why certain changes were made, their philosophy changes, the result and a possible better alternative that captures the classic vanilla feel in a modern mmorpg for wow 2 or classic+ would be insightful. Im starting to think even making every spec viable is just too many classes. Each spec is basically a class to manage and balance. I'm kind of interested in seeing a type of wow class system with hero classes where the original classes can transcend into a hero class at lvl 40 or potentially stay as the same class. The only exceptions being shaman, paladin and druid since they're basically hero classes with very little to transform their class. Probably should prune all class specs/roles. I think a paladin should merge holy and ret to be a dps healer similar to arcane mage in sod and change the whole idea of a healer intentionally being a healbot spamming heals. Whereas the more basic classes can have more faction and race identity by having certain hero classes exclusive to that specific race/starting class combo

@Nazrahnas 2 месяца назад

I remember playing cata as resto druid and absolutely SMASHING it! Nobody could outheal me, no matter what they tried. On top of that, i never ran out of mana and could basically solo-heal 10-man content. OP? Hell yeah. Resto druid > all other healers. For example: With the 2-set bonus from firelands to increase mana regen when lifebloom ticks, combined with tree of life where you can have lifebloom on unlimited targets. This means that if you are totally OUT OF MANA and pop tree of life, you can get FULL MANA very fast just by spamming lifebloom on all targets possible.

@natecw4164 Месяц назад

Breaking feral into two trees was my least favorite class change since they have both factions all classes. So glad my memory was wrong, it may sound petty but I really truly prefer having dps and tanking within the same tree -- really unique for druids!

Was not a fan of Cata the first time around. For better or worse, they've tuned the balance tight as a wire, making it hard to stray outside the bounds. I like doing weird builds, which is a bit harder since the trees are locked. Druid I'm hopeful I can at least do something interesting, since they're such a flexible class. @@BREAKocean

@HotShotPoE 3 месяца назад

As a long time feral cat enjoyer, I think cat performance will heavily depend on if they keep the glyph of omen of clarity in the game. We will see what happens I guess. It will either be a B tier or S tier spec depending on the glyph (Imagine it during the 25% execute phase) BUT bear is 100% the winner in every aspect

I mained feral all through Cata... Bear was UNTOUCHABLE (literally, sometimes) in raids with huge health and dodge approaching god tiers. By Firelands, the swap mechanics on bosses would MISS (I personally dodged 6 of Baleroc's strikes IN A ROW). And PVP tree was a beast with kitty sprints and cheetah escapes.

Cata was the first expansion I played in its entirety and I'll never get over the loss of Tree of Life Form :( I'll still play a druid for the nostalgia, but it probably won't be my main

@naejimba 3 месяца назад

It had really good implications for PvP... certain CC doesn't work when transformed (so they can actually be poly'd), and the ability to burst heal is welcome as a trade off, since that was always where they struggled. Instant roots on as many targets as you want is just dirty, plus you can spam wrath and do really good damage.

@Doddweon 3 месяца назад

@@naejimba my main disdain is the loss of a proper form for healers. Druid is such a creative concept and being locked on a form always seemed like a fair tradeoff to its unique playstyle. The current retail iteration of resto might be the most interesting, shifting between all available forms including caster and Incarnation, but the dislike for Tree of Life as an obligatory short-duration cooldown (a.k.a. The Broccoli Years) was one of my first opinions in game design and it stands even after revision hahahah

I won't play Cata. But if I did I would be bearcatting again. The only thing that I would look forward to. And I'm a rogue main that got his daggers.

Can someone inform me how the population numbers on the EU Wrath servers are like at the moment? I realise that its kind of come to an end now so numbers will be naturally lower. What about the classic era realms? As we are finally at the end of the classic trilogy have people now accepted that TBC is really the true masterpiece of WoW expansions? I never bought the "retail starts at Cata" argument as there is far more content post Cata than between 2004-2010. I loved Wrath the first time around but lets be honest, TBC is the last iteration of anything remotely "classic". The raidng attunement questlines are a prime example of this, when the game was still an RPG. Once Wrath arrived and did away with this stuff the game became what it is. Although Ulduar is still the best.

As a feral cat, I'm not looking forward to cata: - will be expected to off-tank, no one will take a pure cat to 10m - if off-tanking, can't optimize for max dps but logs will probably still count for cat like on halion, so will get sht parse - losing guaranteed omen proc on FF, leading to vastly reduced dps output - will still be expected to use FF x3 for no personal gain, only to help out raid with armor debuff - losing ability to shift out of roots - new spells suck from a personal dps standpoint: tiny aoe ms buff that costs energy, interrupt with long cd that costs energy - will still be expected to use new spells that will be a dps loss - rotation gets more boring and simple with bite refreshing rip, amplified further by tier sets I'm thinking about swapping mains. Not excited by any of this.
