Swans tbf I've just always wanted to play shockadin. I mained hpally in Wrath and wish I could've enjoyed that fun in tbc.
Swans I mean flat out 100% tanking or off-tanking the majority of bosses in WoW.
Most of the meta will remain the same.
However, the meta is still being refined even recently on private servers, and some things will work differently on classic. So there will be small changes. Not "Moonkins are great now" type changes, but more like "Elemental Shamans are slightly more viable if you do a few of these crazy things that only a small percentage of the playerbase will bother with" type changes.
Reiker agreed the last few years, as an ele shaman myself, we recently started using flame shock+flame buffet in our rotation and also doing a fire totem rotation.
Any class that specs 17/17/17. I would have to say that would be pretty unusual. That and Shaman tanks and Pally DPSers, those poor lost souls...
I have personally played everything that I will be mentioning in this post. I'll tell you weird spec stuff and tell you what they can achieve.
- Priest Raid Tank (probably the funnest rotation in the game)
- Rogue Raid Tank
- Warlock Raid Tank
- Hunter Raid Tank
- Caster Resto Druid Raid Tank
All of the above can get up to AQ and some even AQ itself with a competent guild and good gear.
Melee Spell Power Hunter is a weird build but causes more damage than Ranged Hunter.
A Holy paladin will cause the most damage within the Paladin Class. (this one shocks a lot of people...pun intended)
Tag me, if you would like to know more about what was said.
Hey Caperfin, would you mind sharing any tips/guides on priest tanking (Zin-Malor stuff I guess?)
Heard of it but never tried. Time to set new ambitious goals for Classic.
Shadire sent you a pm
Does anyone else remember seeing rogue evasion tanks?
Caperfin I would love some more info on all of your tank specs you linked. That kind of stuff is very awesome
Cereal_ sent you a PM.
You've seen Reck-Bomb Paladins. You've seen Shockadins. We laugh at Ret Raid DPS, and as tanks they're forever stuck tanking 5-mans and trash.
My weird spec, is going to be Holy based, but not a Shockadin. I'll have Holy Shock, yes, but I'm not going for PvP burst memes. I'm hoping to go the route of Spell/Heal-Adin. I want to heal 5-mans (maybe raids) with ease, while also weaving burst DPS with SoR, consecration, judgement, holy shock, and hammer of wrath.
What I want to test is fast vs slow weapon for weaving.
Caperfin I would love the read about every spec you mentioned, if you care to share.
Could I too please get more info on those tanking specs, especially the priest tank one?
