Shadow Priest is not needed for raiding. Their damage is not great and they go oom extremely fast. Guilds usually bring 1 Spriest for the shadow damage talent and that's it.

Mage is more wanted by groups and guilds. Mages bring strong dps, amazing cc, and free food and portals. Mages are easily the most welcome dps in any group. Mage is also the best class for solo farming. There's more Mages than Warlocks though, especially on Alliance, so competition is fierce. Warlocks are MUCH easier to level than Mages. And as I said Warlocks are quite scarce on Alliance so that should make you more wanted. And yes both classes spam bolt. Mage has the odd decurse. Warlock has infinite mana.

I did that. Doesn't help at all.

Is there a way to disable this annoying fog? To make it look like in the 2nd picture. It's a headache playing like this.

It's stuttery and glitchy, with weird fps issues. TBC and Wrath clients are way smoother.

Does this exist?

Intellect didn't give any spellpower till MoP. You are far from home.

It's how it was back in the day and it's not going to change. All you can do is get your own group going on Horde side. Alliance pugs lose to Horde pugs 90% of the time as well. Not to mention world PvP is incredibly Horde dominated too, just try leveling as Alliance. So the Alliance pvpers who don't do premades, which is like 95% of the playerbase, aren't having it super easy either. It's their own initiative to make premades. Nothing's stopping you guys from doing the same. Imbalance is just the nature of Vanilla WoW. If you can't take it then leave it. Asking for custom restrictions is futile.

I don't see what makes vanilla Rogues so OP. Okay their damage is wack and the stunlock is brokenly OP. But their mobility is so cripplingly limited. They don't have cloak, or shadowstep, and a lot of their abilities have arbitrarily long cooldowns (sprint 5 minutes). I can't imagine a Rogue owning it up in a battleground, next to let's say a Warrior who can just keep going and going after each kill as long as there's heals.

Holy Priests are the best healers by far.

Yes it's particularly good against Undead Rogues and Warriors, about 40% of the horde player base.

You didn't tell us anything. Is your focus pve or pvp? What role do you want to play (tank, heal, dps)? Best leveling/solo-play classes: Hunter, Warlock, Mage for farming Best PvP classes: Rogue, Mage, Priest, geared Warrior Best Tank: Warrior Best Healer: Priest

As far as casters go I know that FMage and SP are pretty godlike in vanilla PvP, but what about Warlocks? I feel like a good geared Lock can do some sick DoT damage. Though how well do they hold up against Rogues, Wars, Hunters?

Elysium is not dead af.

Unbelievable but it fixed itself somehow. My casting bar is perfectly smooth now. The only notable thing I did was play my TBC client for a few hours (which always had a smooth casting bar). I then went back to Vanilla and the casting is fluent. I actually recorded the stuttery casting yesterday: And here's today: Beauteous. Thank you all for your help
