omfg prot, solo machine

[pixartist]

I played prot in wotlk, and I just now had a closer look at the new talents. And what did I see? Blood Craze and Impending Victory. OMG! This means that warriors can finally solo anything just like druids! DEAMN! I was thinking of playing my shaman or rogue in cata, but now I know that prot warrior will definatly be my choice

Or are these talents not as strong as they sound ?

1) fixed
2) if you decide what class to play based on what you can solo, you're doing it wrong. because soloing stuff will be pretty much over after you're done with all quests.

Define "anything just like druids" or paladins :P

doing it wrong? who are you to tell him what he can find enjoyment in, or what he should be playing this game for?

get off your high horse and realize that others may happen to play the game for different reasons than you do, and it's not the end of the world.

Paladins can solo AQ20 and AQ40 ?

I find MGT HC, MC, AQ20 etc all MUCH easier on a druid than on a pally.

Not just for the stealth and mob skipping, but everything in general.

I'm aware that soloing is not a very big part in WoW, but it can come in very handy, when either getting a friends twink through instances or farming elite mobs without downtime

Indeed, as far as I heard prot paladins have it quite hard for soloing now, while rets usually lack the survivability.

I manged MGT HC, MC, AQ20 and AQ40 (well, couple of bosses, not all of them) with my Paladin, While i didn't managed it with my Druid. both tank specced and around 6k gs (to get a feeling of the gear level) btw.

playing a MMO for its singleplayer part equals doing it wrong. because it'd be dumb to pay a monthly fee for a singleplayer game. But hey, if that's what he's looking for in 4.0.1 and/or cataclysm, I'm the last one who is stopping him from doing so. yet it remains the wrong way of doing it.

hey didn't you read my 2. post ?

also I find it funny, how you brag about what instances you made solo, and in the same sentence condemn playing solo as it defies the payment model.

MGT HC, is soloable with all classes, FYI

What a hypocritical post. So it's "doing it wrong" if he decides to do it but not if you do?..

OT: In beta I soloed Maggy on my Prot warrior . OF course, Blood Craze was bugged and it was healing for like 10k a tick..so..I wouldn't suggest trying it now :P

[Samyaaza]

You solo for rep in old instances... For fun... For money... Or well you can idle in Dalaran and be bigger part of MMO-idling community. I choose doing instances alone if there isn't nothing else to do.

- I only wish that impending victory would work all the time not only below 20%.

MgT heroic is not a big deal, that can be done on a retri-paladin or even a mage. Tried both, and I'm not that into my mage, so I think most classes can pull that off

AFAIK group quests in Cata will have a strong emphasis on a "group" part. i.e. they won't be soloable for the most part.

We can talk about that in 1 and half month...

Soloing old content is very useful to people who like to farm achievements, mounts, etc. For stuff like old legendary and mounts when you won't have any competition to roll against.

[Raxiel]

As a DK, I solo more than all of you classes.

So far in beta, I have only come across one quest I found that I needed a group- it's an escort quest in twilight highlands, and the NPC dies due to taking too much damage, he isn't heal-able, and doesn't regen his health between mob packs.

Leveling as prot in DPS gear felt like it was a better way to level my warrior.

[Deleted]

yes DK is and will be the class for soloing up to a rate i would be led to say 'op, go nerf nerf'.

but jokes aside, i think the intentional (no proc needed) 'min-10% max-health heal' + 'min-5% max-health shield' of Death Strike sounds somewhat op to me (even more so as it does ~ the same damage devastate does...)
if this is wrong please tell me.

if i am wrong please feel free to enlighten me.
