AFK in Orgrimmar!

This will happen when hell freezes over and pigs fly. Return to retail please.

5. Yes, atleast Nostalrius-devs (most of whom has transfered to Elysium). One exception would be +3% hit enchant for ranged weapons that in vanilla gave melee hit aswell but this was removed with AQ-release, Nostalrius made it "fixed" from the start. There are probably other exceptions. For the record, I didnt agree with that decision, in my mind they should've kept 3% hit for melee until AQ-release, perhaps there were technical reasons for it. 6. By "fix the many problems with vanilla", do you also mean making all class specs raid-viable? Balancing PvP between all classes? Where do you draw the line here? It's better to set a HARD and FIRM precedent here, which is what Nostalrius devs has done and I hope they will continue to do. "Servant of Allistarj" is a "banished" invulnurable mob in Blasted Lands that people in vanilla would hit for long stretches of time in order to test proc-rates in various abilities, items and lvl wep-skill. These fill the same function as a practice-dummy would.

Implying anyone ever goes for SM-GY. It's a waste of time.

1. Many un-blizzlike suggestions arent bad in and of itself, but the main point of Nostalrius was to mimic EVERY SINGLE ASPECT of vanilla AS CLOSE AS TECHNICALLY possible, meaning blizzlike is PRIO #1 and takes precendence over QoL. 2. Lag and server-caps was not inherent features of vanilla but symptoms of lacking hardware/software/available connections, this is not the case anymore. (I do understand you ment this with a bit of sarcasm) 3. Addons do not modify game API, meaning new creation of addons today does not violate the blizzlike-goals that the server has. Why Decursive was banned by Blizzard, despite it only using resourses within the API is beyond me. 4. Dummys are not needed because you can test procs on banished mobs in Blasted Lands, and if those are not available you can just run proc-watch or any other addon while doing a 40man raid against raid-bosses. 5. I wont name a QoL-improvement that ruined retail because that is beside the point. As pointed out in #1, they main goal is to replicate vanilla as far as possible, meaning no modifications to the vanilla-formulae. No ifs, no why, just replicate as close as possible. 6. If you dont like the idea of keeping vanilla pure, without the rot and pollutants that small QoL-modifcations bring, then by all means return to Kronos with their practice dummies and lower respecs, or p2w Feenix-Warsong with their buyable gear. TLDR: If you dont want to play on a replica of vanilla, there are PLENTY of "fun" servers out there.

SLI will work in fullscreen, probably wont in windowed-mode. If you leave it on or off is up to you.

Slippery slope, not blizzlike. No. Any modification that takes us away from blizzlike is a cancerous rot that will destroy the game gradually, no matter how small, insignificant or "quality-of-life" it is. NO, NO and NO!

Dont roll warrior. I wanna be the speial snowflake that I am!

How hard is it to understand? NO MODIFICATIONS WHAT SO ваууING EVER! Addons is okay though.

Part of the beauty of making a twink is the intricate planning needed. Begone to retail if you dont like it. Keep vanilla pure. Modifications to make it a "fun" server is a rot that will fester.

Pottu is needed to control the rabbelous plebs. If you dont like it, please move on.

Retail impostor detected!

T1 shoulders and boots are pretty equal to pre-raid-bis though.

He's right you know. You rarely see more than 1-3 druids in 40man raids, meaning you'll get into raids very easily and get alot of gear.

In pre-raid enviroment and early raiding you'll mostly use Rank 3, 4 and 11.

This is a bad suggestion and you should feel bad!

It's "okay". Better for Horde due to WF-totem. You wont compete for top5 dps like a Dualwielder would but you wont be at the bottom either.

Hej Gabooty:D And to the OP, pretty much this. You'll be expected to heal in 99% of raids, but bringing some tanking gear as druid is actually a good idea. There are situations where healing isnt an issue and you might want to keep a fury warrior in dps mode, this is a good time to beartank!

Why would it? As far as I know EVERYTHING about you char is saved to the database.

Being Raid/Guild MT and 3rd or 4th OT is a BIG difference in terms of responsibility. If you enjoy tanking casually, being OT is a really fun role to have and it doesnt not involve a steep learning curve.

- Haste is equal-ish to 7str/8str, depends on buffs and gear scaling. - Ironfoe is DOPE (but alot worse if its "fixed" on this server). - Painweaver band didnt exist in the patch Nostalrius was when the original thread was made. - Dragonscale items wasnt bad in the patch Nostalius was when the original thread was made. - Why is the spec bad? If you have a better suggestion please post it and lets hope the OP of this thread will edit. - With full raid/world/consumable buffs and touching critcap, yea Cadaverous is probably better. - Felstriker is probably over-valued yes, I never got it on Nostalrius so didnt get the chance to test out its proc-rate.

Just chill and wait it out.

It will last you from lvl30 to lvl 40 when you get tuten'kash chest from RFD. Is it worth it? - "Possibly".

Evidence supports that Ironfoe does infact have a much lower proc-rate than the 10% base-line that seems to be common on most private servers. It also makes sense considering just how OP it is with 10% proc-rate. Weaponspeed is of little interest for 2h fury, that's an "arms-thing".

x-realm and battle-net intregration is what ruined retail.
