Classic WoW Hardcore

Just takes one bad healer in a group to wipe everyone, watch them healers or be the healer to make sure it can't happen to you [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It seems to suck to be a tank in classic hardcore

You're usually the first, and sometimes only, to die for other people's mistakes in groups

I ran DM/VC last night (god those arguments are dumb) and it was a great time! I thought I should stay away from grouping or dungeons due to risk, but these guys were all playing like pros! we had no risk of death the whole time, ever. even when they insisted on breaking my sheep which forced me to just bliz the whole room down.

I found out that if you die you get to server xfer the character which has made me play with just a bit more bravery.
whats the dungeon after this one? Gnomer?

Careful, Gnomer can be a killer. The elevator in the beginning kills the impatient and Gnomer has a wide level range, the mobs at the end are I think like almost 10 higher than at the begginning

The other 2 biggest killers are there are casting into the robots that put up a magic reflect shield (they glow green, don't cast into those or you will kill yourself with your own frostbolts like other mages have on HC), and the dark iron dwarves who put down mines with deceptively large hitboxes. Those mines blow up many people

There's multiple ways to go down, don't ever go down the middle, it's possible to accidentally body pull the mobs up on the ledges who will run all the way down pulling a small army and wiping you. It's better I hear to go through the ledge paths rather than down the middle

Oh speaking of the magic reflect mobs it is very helpful to know what mob types do. Certain types called like pather or tracker or something related to movement can dash like rogues and outrun you

Vulture mobs can execute like warriors. Hydra mobs can thrash which is the most dangerous mob attack, like 3 swings in one. Some of the satyr mobs can put nasty curses up that stun every few seconds. Boars can charge which does extra damage, big damage. Basically every mob type has certain things it can do

It seems like the only real mechanic that matters in classic raiding is threat. Streamer JokerD got bonereaver’s edge (https://www.wowhead.com/classic/item...nereavers-edge) off rag because of course he did, assuming streamer privilege is why

And Karma comes round and he dies with it in ZG. Lol, way to give that awesome weap to a streamer

I wouldn't even do Gnomeregan in hardcore with randoms.

Too much at risk. It can just be skipped.

I hear they call this: “magebrain”

It’s where cocky mages who know their class is S-tier for HC do extremely dangerous shit and die

World First level 60, aaaaand he’s gone

That would be some good youtube money if he's got a channel.

What's the safe middle ground? A warlock I suppose? Can heal self but no expectation on saving anyone so much.
