We're proud to announce the addition of two guides to our Classic section.

I skimmed through the guides, and couldn't help but notice you are going down the combat tree without taking the sword specialization talent. Care to explain?

The text of the guide addresses this:

Sword Specialization can be run instead of using both Improved Gouge IconImproved Gouge and Improved Sprint IconImproved Sprint, if you would rather have the extra DPS instead of the utility. The chance on this talent proccing may be low, however in a long fight where you are attacking a lot, this does proc a decent amount.

Ah, okay, thanks. I'm still sceptical about this one though. Imp gouge is a tier 1 talent, so you can't really pass on that in favor of a higher tier talent.

Secondly, dungeons and 40 ppl raids is exactly where you are going to aa a lot, so there is even less sense in skipping the dps talent on a dps class. When you are stacked on buffs and maintain SnD, the 5% proc is going to benefit your dps generously.

Lastly, based on numerous guides I've seen on other resources, this talent is not really a matter of preference, but a mandatory pick in the combat tree. I don't know if it's okay to put links in here, but it's totally googleable.

I personally would, and will, rather pass on deflection/riposte combo in a dps build. I don't think it's that useful in dungeons or raids cause you should not be pulling agro from tanks in the first place, and there are not too many mobs that can be disarmed to make it worth taking.

I think you forget how wonky threat generation was in Vanilla. Tanks losing their threat lead was a major problem if the DPS or healers were too bursty.

      You can customize your Human and Worgen forms separately in Cataclysm Classic.
      Cataclysm Classic comes with a neat quality of life update which hasn't been included in the game when the expansion originally launched. MrGM discovered you can customize your Worgen and Human forms separately.

      Today's SoD hotfixes bring Hunter and Mage changes, as well as Arathi Basin reputation gear adjustments, and a Wrath Classic fix for certain DoTs affecting players.
      March 12 (Source)
      WoW Classic: Season of Discovery
      Class restrictions on Arathi Basin reputation armor rewards have been lifted on all Classic Era and Season of Discovery realms. Fixed a bug causing Blood for the Blood Loa stacks to not be exchanged when the battle is not active. Hunter Steady Shot damage increased to 75% weapon damage (was 60%). Rune of the Trapper icon should no longer be a question mark. Mage Living Flame movement speed adjusted to 86% of normal player movement speed (was 100%). Living Flame duration reduced 10 seconds (was 20 seconds) Living Flame cooldown reduced to 30 seconds (was 60 seconds). Wrath of the Lich King Classic
      Fixed an issue with Piercing Shots, Deep Wounds, and Ignite that causes them to sometimes do too much damage to players.

      Four years ago, Blizzard decided to remove the word "b****" along with its audio sound from the dialogue between Garrosh and Sylvanas. But now, it's made a comeback in Cataclysm Classic!

      The initial decision to cut the word came after Steve Dansuer, the then Lead Narrative Designer, received feedback from a team member who overheard the voice line while playing the game with his child.
      Steve agreed that removing the word didn't detract from Garrosh's message and went ahead with the edit.
      Placeholder for tweet 1298728022653075456 Now, with Cataclysm Classic, players have noticed the line's return, which isn't surprising since it was originally included in Cataclysm. You can check out the entire dialogue, thanks to N_Tys26.
      Placeholder for tweet 1766198235700580807 It remains to be seen whether Blizzard will decide to remove the line once more. Given WoW's ESRB rating of "T" for Teen, what are your thoughts on this? Share your opinions in the comments below.

      Blizzard will be removing the class requirements from Arathi basic reputation rewards. The change is coming in the next few days and will affect both Season of Discovery and Classic Era. 
      Arathi Basin Sets (Source)
      Greetings,
      We’ve seen a lot of feedback and comments recently on the Arathi Basin reputation rewards, and we wanted to let you know about a change that is coming sometime within the next few days to live realms via hotfix.
      We are going to go ahead and remove the class restrictions from Arathi Basin reputation reward 3-piece armor sets. We’ve read your feedback around this issue and we largely agree that these restrictions are fairly arbitrary and felt like this would be a good change for the game overall to allow for a bit more flexibility in PvP gearing.
      We also wanted to point out that this adjustment will also extend to WoW Classic Era realms. In discussing whether we should keep this as a Season-only change or extend it to Era, we felt that this would be strictly additive to the experience of those playing on Era realms as well.
      We appreciate the feedback we’ve received on this issue so far. Thank you and have a great weekend!
