consecrate not being affected by ap won't help killerduki much.

The cost for just making an arcanite rod is staggering to someone who just hit 60. Worst, on nost because of the population the recipe you have to have to even be able to make the rod was going for crazy prices. It was literally a legitimate way to make money - sit there and wait for the pattern to appear. That aspect alone makes enchanting rough for leveling.

Reporting because Destron clearly sold his account.

If they fix rage generation then no one is gonna want alcors, which would be nice to see to me. That weapon originally never was the pinnacle of anything back in the day because rage management was a thing.

I'm not very good at pvp and I can tell you that a feral playstyle is a great way to feel like you can't kill anything one v one. Now maybe it's cause I suck but I think if I did an approach that involved more damage spells and running away that would have worked. Going at them full out as a cat and bear sucks.

I think you're missing on why we are hating on Mot and his spec. It's actually for the very same reasons that you are frustrated as well. His very first sentence was this: He was the one that is trying to pigeon hole the class. He's the one telling you that you're nothing but a heal bot. And then his example spec is not what any min/maxer would consider "viable" (again as per his quote). He is touting that druids are sub capable healers - something that good druids don't want to hear. In the same breath he is saying to not take a spec that is 100% optimal for quality healing. So what are we supposed to think? We aren't bashing him for having a hybrid spec or enjoying the game how he wants to. We are angry that he is telling us to spec a specific way - a way that isn't optimized for healing at all. So what do we do? We react angrily and rightfully so because his experience is not reflected in raid stats and his opinions for what a healing druid can do are off base. No one will tell you how to spec. That's your decision. If you want to raid, some specs are harder to convince a raid leader than others. If you don't like the truth of that then you can go the easy road and heal or keep looking for a guild that will find a spot for you. No one will tell you that you are wrong. But if you come here and tell us that certain specs are the only option or that they are optimal when they objectively are not then we will tell you that you are wrong. If that happens, it's up to you to take a step back and learn more about what we are saying or you can just get mad about it.

What is the right answer I think is going to heavily depend on what the queue actually is. For now it is entirely speculation. If the queue is on the order of 1-5 minutes I would think that no modification is necessary. It won't impact anyone and how they play. If the queue climbs to 10-30 mins or more then yeah there probably should be a system to prioritize level 60 players. Raids need to start on time. Some players may have to wait while others log on which will significantly impact the effectiveness of world buffs. DCs would also be a major factor for raiding and pvp. Also some people may be in a guild where they start to raid right after work or something like that. A queue of 30 minutes could cause them to either be chronically late or unable to raid with their current guild.

Mot, I'd like to help you but at this point I'm not sure what your focus is that you're arguing. I say this because I don't want to just spout off every inaccuracy I see because I'm sure posts have a character limit. So are you arguing the role of druids in raids? (if so the realmstats proved that one otherwise so that seems like a bad choice) Are you arguing your spec? (play what you want, I'm sure it works but it is mathematically not optimal for "healing" and may be a reason why you feel that druids are suboptimal healers) Are you arguing a general sense of raid knowledge? (Ok so you're 8/8 on a server with scripting that makes naxx tank and spank) I'd like to help as even the build you are going for is suboptimal for a pvp hybrid spec but it seems you just like being mad at us. I get it too cause we're reacting poorly to your posts... Even though I know the druid community is pretty nice.

The only "fact" you provided was that you were 8/8 which even your realm players can't prove. The rest of what you said is generally called an "opinion." For opinions to have weight the person speaking needs to have weight as well. You tried by saying you are mr elite naxx expert. Great, we don't care cause that server means nothing. Please start over with a more modest approach.

Maybe tone down the pomp, lower your ego level, and maybe you'll find that not all of us are idiots and our reaction to you is because of said pomp and ego. There's much to learn out there and I'm not saying I know it all yet either.

I'm telling you you're wrong because you said this: Which is such obvious garbage that your entire post is moot. Additionally just cause you were in Naxx on a garbage server with poor scripting doesn't make you knowledgeable.

Your recommended healing spec for raiding has feral and balance talents but not Nature's Focus or Improved Regrowth? I'm sorry but I don't care who you play or what server you were on. You're wrong. Full resto druids are either swiftmend spec: http://db.vanillagaming.org/?talent#0zLZZxEcqeqio or moonglow spec: http://db.vanillagaming.org/?talent#0zLxf0xsZZxgcoxq or maybe (untested in aq or naxx) regrowth spec:http://db.vanillagaming.org/?talent#0zLxf0xoZZxgcoLaV Your spec is called a "hybrid pvp spec" and not "healing spec for raiding" thanks.

Hey guys, you'll probably see me spamming IF, but if not, know that I am a very trusted crafter who can make anything available as a tribal leatherworker and have most all enchants. I currently do not have healing or spellpower though. Hopefully that will change. My specialties include: Hide of the Wild Corehound Belt and many more. Tips for most services are enough as well as a friendly demeanor. For specialty items like those listed above as well as some enchants prices will be mentioned. Whisper me in game for current market price. I don't want to be tied to a written number because people love to undercut and I want your business! -Taladril

A little gift for every day of the week up to release. Yay!

It's not impossible and you'll have great gear. But it won't be fast. In vanilla, dungeons are excellent xp when you do the quests for them. After that they are useful for the gear. Leveling speed is far faster by questing or even grinding by yourself. But if it's what you enjoy you can do it and it works.

This is ridiculously misleading. A lot of launches of huge private servers? Nost was THE biggest launch and it was far larger than anyone expected. And we are on track for easily double the launch nost had. None of us has any idea what this is going to be like, because it will be unprecedented. But I can guess. It's gonna be more frustrating than fun. It was crazy to level on nost but at least we could breathe. And I had it easy starting in teldrassil. Elwynn would have been bad. And please... 60% bis? Really? Hyperbole much?

The 1.4 mounts are available to nost servers up to a point. After the specific patch they become unavailable, just like in vanilla.

No it just means if you wanna do world pvp then you need to explore those areas first. if you are worried about people around you killing wildlife then don't group with people who aren't twinks, make it a raid, add a 60 so that the effect is lower, or don't group with idiots. It's very easy to not get xp if you plan it out.

Threads like these prove that we need these servers released NOW! You guys are far too bored without a game to play.

For Posterity for those out of the loop https://forum.nostalrius.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=17101

Yeah I remember the reason. Doesn't mean I can't disagree with it though. All I know is you guys left so competition went way down for top spot. Too bad I think.

That was pretty much my point as well. Anybody with a couple of seconds of rational thought and basic understanding of software development would realize that the reason that Nost couldn't keep to the timeline that they promised was because there was far far more population than expected. Because of that they spent much more time getting the servers stable and able to handle the numbers - which shockingly they did a good job with. But Grizzly would rather throw a hissy fit that they had to farm MC for a few more weeks than expected. If they have a problem with that then they are gonna have a problem getting to and beating Naxx. Vanilla is not a sprint, it is a marathon, especially when it comes to raid content.
