@@assboi no it wouldn't because it makes no sense that a hunter would roll on an obvious spell caster's weapon, god damn boomkin made the story so much funnier
back in 2006 when I did the ubrs key quest thing, I explicitly said "I gonna take all the gems that I still need okay?" everyone agreed. didn't bother to set masterloot because people in the group seemed chill. ofc at the endboss the dude named mutawa ninjaed the stone. it was the last stone I needed. I was sooooooo fucking furious that this was my first legit rage /ignore and up to this day on my retail char that dude is still on ignore, proabbly the only one I never unignored.
As somebody that had to run Molten Core for 6 years (2005 to 2011) I know that feeling. At the time, we didn't know what a binding of the windseeker is, so everybody that could use it, rolled. I won it on my Paladin. I promised I'd uncover the secret about this strange item. Little did I know at the time that this was a big mistake. I began to solo molten core somewhere around TBC when Zul'Aman was released, because there were some really nice block rating items that allowed me to get to 98% or 99% combat table coverage (need 102.4), so that was enough to solo Garr, which took about one hour with a Suneater just auto attacking. I kept playing the game into early Cataclysm, even after my guild that I had spent years with was disbanded, just to keep that promise. As soon as I got Thunderfury, I looked around. None of my original friends still played the game, so I quit.
As someone who mained boomkin through all of classic raiding and (deservingly) was passed over on loot for warlocks, I’m like “good, I would have needed on it too.” And before anyone says anything about it, I’m merely representing the boomy nation.
This sort of reminiscent for me lol. I played a hunter, back in Vanilla all the way too Cata. But to a certain extent I was wanting the Sunfury Bow of the Phoenix from Karazhan back in TBC an it never dropped. The first time it did…of course I was ecstatic, only to lose it to a Warrior…but finally months later before moving onto Serpentshrine Cavern. I finally got the fucking bow
In my experience the rando druid players are by far the goofiest, strangest players ive ran into on classic wow never ill meaning even downright cheerful but blissfully strange and oblivious or complete monsters in thier chosen role there is no in-between
I have that on my hunter. Got while soloing Scholo for Dark Runes. Too bad the skin is not unique anymore in Classic, as it was used on the heirloom items.
Technicaly Scholo was an 8 man raid because noone wanted to take 2 of the same class so they wouldn't lose their dungeon helm in a roll in case it dropped. The only times i saw double of 1 class was when someone already had the dungeon 1 helm and was there for a diferent item, I happened to be trying to get my shoulders on my warlock for example, and already had much better hat from Strath :) I still have screenshots from 2005/2006 with me wearing the Crimsom Fel Hat and my dungeon 1 shoulderpads. I felt epic haha.
In the early days, not having Master Loot function, etc., was so dumb. Pretty sure I remember there was no "Greed" option. Only roll on it or pass. I got kicked out of a 10 or 15 man raid because all I knew was to roll on anything I wanted. It was my first MMO and I was like "if there are unwritten rules, you need to tell me!".
As a lock main I would've been insufferable about making sure everyone knew to pass, to the point where someoen would've probably rolled need out of spite 💀
I mean yeah it sucks and all for the Lock, but it was 100 percent the guild's fault for not telling him about it, or making sure he was in Vent, or any communication whatsoever.
The rarest Epic item in Vanilla WoW is/was Teebu's Blazing Longsword. There is no debate on that what so ever. Odd to suggest anything else. My guild cleared OG Scholo with 6 people and would run UBRS with 8. I Thought this was the standard. 5:25 no appeals? Uh not true - Many times during Vanilla guilds had help getting items to the originally intended players because of mistakes with the help of GM's. Now a days no.
I remember when epics were AMAZING because they were so much better than blues and required either luck or raid level "ability" to get. (I was never in some big time guild). Then epics became commonplace after expansions.
Haha, I was a resto druid the first time around and I aqquired that staff as well.. it was a 5man dungeon at the time, seems druids are destined to own this xD
