classic.wowhead.comSurprising news but welcomed. I wonder if this allows unlock of epic mounts for lock/paladin or still gated behind P3 content (I don't know questline sorry)
8
should allow unlock, since it reqs only DM
4
Big surprise
2
I wonder if this means they planned for phase 2 to be released about this time too but found some complications with it, so are giving us diremaul seperate?

Just seems odd that they're suddenly splitting up content that was announced to be coming out together
0†
They rationalize it by saying giving more content to the players while phase 2 is still a ways off.
5
All we really get now though is two world bosses that the vast majority of players will never see and the honor system. Dire Maul was the biggest part of phase 2 content.
-4
.......no, it doesn't seem odd that since people already have P1 raids on farm that they're releasing some content quicker.
3
You are probably right. I think the amount of people surprised them and the bigger servers need more time before they remove layers alltogether
-3†
The way they made it seem in the video is that they plan for Phase 2 soon, but people have progressed quicker than expected, so they're releasing Dire Maul to help tide everyone over.
8
It's almost as if they stated that nothing has a set date and they are watching the players to judge the best times to release phases. Who wouldda thunk it?
5
Can someone copy and paste the info the devs are giving us? Work firewall sucks ):
2
TLDR: Dire Maul Oct 15th, rest of phase 2 is still a bit away, but this year. Most of the video was about retail lul.
2
Time to run around the start of the world pvp days with my ugly ass dire maul helm like god intended.
1
do we know if the hunter solo tirbute farm will work?
1
Most likely yes. The dev even mentions to brush it up.

I wonder if AOE farming is nerfed in Dire Maul..?
0†
Better not be. No changes.
0†
Alot of private servers actually let it slide for a few weeks because it was a vanilla thing, then nerfed it because it's broken as fuck.
1
It was only not changed because people by and large only started really leveraging it towards the end of vanilla, so it didn't fully buttfuck server economies. It would have, had DM had been released in 2004 and if people had the knowledge now that they do.
1
Agreed it shouldn't be changed.
However, the exploits should be punished.
-4
Releasing DM separate from phase 2 already is a change. Why aren't you throwing a fit about that?
-10
"No changes" refers to vanilla -> classic. It doesn't mean no changes to the content release plan.
8
Because that's not the type of change they're talking about. "Phases" weren't even a thing in vanilla, the whole phasing system is a "change" in that regard. Changing something that's already not like it was in vanilla isn't exactly a "#NoChange" thing.
3
Honestly phases were a thing in vanilla, they were just called patches back then. The change here is for classic they bunched together patches into 6 phases, rather than 8 or 9 major patches and a bunch of minor ones.
1
Are some blues from dm better than rag loot? :/ Seems like a strange choice
-1
Just no, there's some really good weapons and trinkets but MC loot is still better for the most part. People were still running MC when diremaul released in vanilla for a reason.
11
Dire Maul gear will make MC gear obsolete, outside of a few items. Especially for casters and healers. Your healers are about to be geared to the nines.
-27
Why do people keep parroting this nonsense? Or am I being wooshed here?
13
This is a troll right...?
11
No it's not. As a resto shammy I'm gonna be in DM balls deep for weeks. 11mp5 trinket that you can equip TWO OF? Sign me up boss.
4
what MC fight is long enough that you need that much mp5 in the first place?
1
No it won't... Maybe for some classes but as a rogue there's literally zero pre-bis or BIS loot from DM.
1
Same as fury warrior.
1
Tarnished Elven Ring?
1
I see that listed as being in phase 3. Assuming the tribute run won't be released in a week or in phase 2.
1
As a mage I only need 2 pieces from DM. That can be replaced with MC gear. Deffinitly wouldn't say it makes gear obsolete
1
Lmao messing with their content cycle just because archeage unchained gets released
-18
Because what gets who now?
12
Nobody knows or cares about that game.
9
???????
5
Hahahahaha. This hot take. That game is trash dude.
5
Lmao
3
Imagine thinking Blizzard is sweating bullets over fucking Archeage.
2
probably because the dev team is sick of not having lvl 55 mage water, i know i fuckin am
Lmao wouldn't be surprised
I’m too, so happy for this
going back to creating 2 water a pop is going to be horrible tho :(
good news is can probably earn some good money just by sitting afk in cities making water selling it
It makes 10 at a time.
it should be 6 per, since its a level 58 spell so 2 at 58, 4 at 59, 6 at 60, could be wrong tho
I think its level 55 water, and i believe its 10 at a time.
It was changed late in vanilla to be 10 at a time instead of the 2 it was to begin with.
Remember having to show up early to raids to summon wager for everyone. 7p Raid time. 6:40 for mages.
Would rather pay an npc than som prick
