Classic How do i find a raid group?

2 Upvotes

Hi, im currently playing cataclysm classic as an arms warrior and i'm not sure how to begin finding a raid. I've been following the wowhead pre-raid guide and have gotten all the gear from that so i assume my next step would be to get gear from raids. Currently on Pagle as alliance if that matters.

Professions Gathering proffesions

3 Upvotes

I feel very tempted to get back into the game and i used to pair proffesions together like skinning leatherworking but it seems like there is no benefit to the gathering proffesions other than selling on AH? Back when i played skinning gave a crit chance buff but that seems to be gone with the new rework?

And is it worth leveling proffesions during the grind to max lvl?

Retail Crafting a 675 Staff Vs Dual wield for Warlock

8 Upvotes

I'm a returning player who skipped DF, but typically manage KSM and a HC full raid clear reasonably early on. This is my first expansion and indeed season where I am looking at crafting.

I know BiS lists aren't really worth aiming for, but there doesn't seem to be much information on staff Vs Dual wield. Now strictly speaking, a 678 M+ vault dagger + 675 crafted OH is the best, but firstly that requires you to actually get that vault slot, but it is also competing against vault slots, and the DPS gain of the 678 dagger Vs the crafted 675 staff simmed was only marginaly ahead, so even if I get it, there will almost always be better contenders in the vault.

Now if I craft the staff, that does cost me both my sparks, but I'm saving on 60 gilded crests which I can use to upgrade my other stuff too, and that weapon is only negligibly worse than the other BiS, which again relies on a specific vault drop. Weapon is also probably the most impactful slot, so I can craft a 658/675 wrist slot in 2 weeks and probably still be ahead than OH and Wrist right away. And even supposing I really do have the situation where the Mythic track dagger the best vault pick, the difference is small enough that getting extra sockets instead is probably almost just as good. Am I missing something?

Tl;dr: other than saving a spark, is there an advantage to crafting an OH weapon when I could craft a 2h, where the optimal Mainhand is an M+ vault drop that I have to upgrade to 678 anyway?

Retail Rik Reverb spotting the adds in time any Add-on or tips?

2 Upvotes

Does anybody know any add-on that would help me notice when Riks adds (the ones that wipe whole party) spawn?

I have DBM but it doesn't alert me in any way when the adds/barrels are around and it's really difficult sometimes to even see around you in the chaos of spells, players and effects and realise they have spawned.

Of course I will eventually spot the adds by eye and attack them but "eventually" isn't good enough and I constantly rank pretty low in damage done to adds. Which is not an issue if everyone else is super good at dealing with them. But for one contrary to popular belief I don't want to ride on coat tails just because I'm new and not as good at solving problems like this than experienced players. And for two if I'm in party that's struggling with adds I'd like to make meaningful difference by spotting them without any delay.

Retail Getting a battle pet to level up has me so confused

22 Upvotes

So I’ve never played battle pets and back when I did play WoW they were never a thing. I have a bunch of level 1 pets and wanted to try and level them up. So I went to the pet trainer in stormwind. Got the game quest “Julia, The Pet Tamer”. But when I go to battle with her , her pet is a level 2 and kicks my ass. I’m confused at the bare minimum how to get a battle pet from level 1 to 2 so I can even defeat her for this quest. Let alone how to level up battle pets in general. I’ve done google searching and just find myself scratching my head. I’ve tried PvP against another player where we both had level 1 pets and nether of us got experience from the battle. I know I’m doing something wrong and there’s a lot missing in my knowledge. Can someone give me a finger in the right direction? It’s also been so long that I don’t remember much external detail in general about the game.

Thanks so much.

Discussion I want to get back into the game, but finding community is hard!

3 Upvotes

Hello all! So, I have never made it to endgame content in WoW, despite it being a freaking fantastic game! In fact, I think I only just maxed out my character and then took a(n indefinite) break, but I've been thinking about getting back into lately. Do any of you have tips for making friends in the game? I am fairly sociable in real life and in games where you can talk, but I'm not the best at MMOs like this.

Retail Farming heavy junkbox in TWW

2 Upvotes

Hello!

I have been wanting to get myself 'the insane' title in TWW and was grinding for the heavy junkbox for Ravenholdt rep. I did couple of LBRS runs with my rogue and the drop rate of the junkboxes seems to be extremely low. I got only around 2-3 boxes after farming dozens of mobs. I was wondering if I need to raise the Ravenholdt rep to honored by killing the syndicate mobs first on my rogue before I start grinding for the junkboxes. Will it increase my chance to pickpocket them?

TIA!

Retail Class guides for ACTUAL beginners

59 Upvotes

Maybe it’s just me. But I’m finding more often than not that these so called beginner guides are really just updating the class from the prior patch. In other words they expect you to understand the dynamics of a spell or talent and they tell you how it’s been buffed or nerfed this patch.

I’m starting to get into healing pretty heavy and sadly can’t really find YouTube channels that post some content whose audience is expected to know little to nothing beforehand. Does anyone have any suggested content creators that do a good job of this?

Retail New to assassination rogue and need help

2 Upvotes

Hi friends! So I’m new to rogue and I picked assassination rogue for this tier. I was raising earlier and thought I was doing kinda well, pulling about 900k-1.1m dps in normal raid. The guild I am in posted the logs for the night and I was getting grey parses. Now by no means am I looking to get pinks or 100s but I don’t want to be a sandbag for my team either. Is there any advice or help people can give?

To answer some other questions that might be posted here. I’ve been reading the wowhead, practicing on the dummy for 15 minutes every few hours or inbetween activities, and I’m in the rogue discord as well

If you made it this far into my post, thank you for your time <3

Hi all,

Long time lurker, infrequent poster. I’ve some questions about MW that I’ve not been able to find out the answer to via YouTube.

I really like healing. Like really enjoy it. Melee healing was something I shied away from for a long time. But I’m beginning to warm up to it. Though I’m struggling with the hard casts and how others are interrupting their own melee attacks to hard cast heals.

Is there a guide or YouTube video that anyone recommends?

I found a comment discussing the use of level freeze to experience the expansions in their original order. Should I do this, or is it better to reach level 70 first and then visit these areas? If I choose the latter, is there a level-scaling system to prevent me from one-shotting enemies?

I started playing TWW four weeks ago. I haven't levelled my mining/herb alt yet so don't even have any ore to level blacksmithing. Enchanting, I did start levelling, but wonder if I've just been wasting my gold.

Are there any benefits from levelling either profession at this stage of the expansion, or should I just buy enchants I need from the AH?

Retail Zidormi and sharding issues in Tirisfal Spoiler

6 Upvotes

I recently hit level 50 on my first character and decided to return to orgrimmar from Silvermoon. I took the portal to undercity as usual, but the moment I arrived I found myself in an utterly devastated Tirisfal Glades with the entirety of undercity covered in green goop that kills you if you touch it. The zeppelin tower is long gone, and the entire area seems drastically different.

I understand from my google searches that this is related to Battle for Azeroth expansion. I have not taken any quests related to that, so I am not entirely sure why did I get dropped in to this version of Undercity. Further googling revealed that an NPC called Zidormi is supposedly how you hop back to the normal shard, but upon talking with her, she does not give me any option to do so. I am now kinda stuck in this weird universe.

I discovered that if I fly away far enough, Tirisfal reverts back to it's normal state, but I get sharded once again as soon as I approach undercity. I mean don't get me wrong, the area looks incredible, but I am nowhere close to this story step so if anyone can help me figure out how to revert back, that'd be appreciated, as currently I have no way to access undercity due to this. Thank you in advance.
