Well well,
Did you adopt the mindset of “Im gonna take my time and wait a couple days so the sweats can get to 70 and I can quest / dungeon grind on my own pace”
Well if you happen to play a class that does physical damage Im sorry to say but, you got scammed if you didn’t go all in first week because guess what? Maintenance a couple hours ago fixed what appeared to be an “invalid armor” bug on mobs that basically gave mobs like 500 armor max (yeah even lvl 70 mobs).
So for the whole first week of release every melee or hunter was doing basically 40% more damage to everything, that’s why melee cleave groups felt too overpowered and why you could 3 shot mobs in your communal gear.
The first week physical damage classes leveled basically 2x as fast since they all went melee cleave with 4 warriors and 1 shaman for WF totem, some people even said bosses in Heroics were dying in less than 40s with the melee groups.
The sweaty FOMO crowd wins yet again..

Yes,
Was like that in both MoP & Legion remix as well.
You’ll be able to take advantage of unintended stuff if you discover it before it’s fixed.
”Shocker”
This is why people rush & Stress always, To be first and take advantage.

I wish I did that, i started playing 2 hours before maintenance and thought “this communal gear isn’t so bad after all, Im doing 500 non-critical auto attack damage” and then after the fix my auto attack damage never went over 300..

Physical damage is soooooo bad now, it’s laughable if it wasn’t so sad.

Im hitting for 250 white damage when I was always hitting for 400-500 before maintenance and thought: /
i tried to tell them melee cleave was finishing sh like 17 minutes while others in 40 minutes.
every melee cleave who started at the launch hit 70 in 3 days i’m not even talking %1 sweaty people. All lfg was almost melee cleave.
they accused me lying as always.
Ah yes the salty slow casters late to the party, dont worry grandpas, dont let your colostomy bags burst from too much pressure.
This was easiest 60-70 ever, dont think even retail felt that breezy. TY blizzard

I’m glad they fixed it before I hit 70, because now I’ll enjoy playing the game as intended. I don’t really care about other players. If they went so far, good for them.

This is kinda nonsense since even though Warriors were the clear best dungeon dps with this bug, they were still doing pretty low dps on bosses compared to casters. Also, in the open world the slowest levellers in 2021 were Rogues and Warriors, and by quite a margin they really sucked compared to spell classes unless you turned up like a Naxx raiding allstar.
The actual impact of this bug is basically nothing, a few Warriors and Rogues who were used to being the stragglers, the slowest levellers outside of dungeons got a bit of a boost, something that has zero impact on raids and zero lasting impact on the expansion because it’s already fixed.
By the way, Warriors will be the top dungeon damage dealers again by mid way T4 anyway, but they will still lack behind other classes on bosses in most group comps.

Fix what’s really wrong here, that melee dps is way behind caster dps….
Yeah the fix feels like it’s halved my damage and DPS - it makes sense when people was reporting that Warriors was top damage during PTR and people putting it down to fights being shorter because it was post nerf content - nope just another bug from Blizzard.
Absolute shocker how many bugs are in this version of TBC. I wonder how many there are that haven’t been discovered yet. One of my guildies said that Nagrand music has been replaced with Orgrimmar music (wouldn’t know I play with music/sfx off).
Another bug I’ve been getting is I turn sound effects off but the game keeps turning on my characters sound effects so all I keep hearing is “NOT ENOUGH RAGE” but funnily enough the rest of the sound effects stay muted.
Seems this version of TBC is littered with more bugs than original release.
