first and foremost if your new to classic wow. i strongly suggest taking few practice runs on classic era. before you take on hardcore. first and foremost hardcore has different builds then classic era. with good reason
Classic Hardcore - How Threat works - one thing manages kill people the most is not caring amount of threat or damage they do vs the tanks. lot builds that were good in classic era aren’t good in hardcore. damage is good but too much damage get you killed. specially having under gear tank
my suggestion - keeping old gear switch them lower your damage output. to that you can match your tanks level and deranking your abilities so spell casting.
GET YOURSELF A THREAT METER - this right here is most important thing you can have in classic remember this isn’t retail. a tank losing threat is very common. through the levelling experience. not caring will result someone else or self getting killed. dont do this
