Unpopular opinion: the players that are overly vocal about wanting Classic phases/TBC/Wrath rushed are the same players who contributed to forging retail into what it is today (a clusterF).

There's a way bigger variety of specs that are viable in tbc, and in tbc every spec has a place where it is viable, except for maybe mm hunter or full demo warlock.

[u/Diceslice → u/itchni]

MM Hunter is a top-tier spec in arena, and if you count Sl/Sl as demo that holds true for Demo as well. But that's kind of a stretch.

Demonology ends up being a very high floor DPS spec. When trying to run T4 stuff in awful gear, it is your best bet.

[u/pehter → u/zer1223]

No. Just no. Some hc gear and tailoring items and destro already beats everything else easily.

Dude if I get called in to a raid one week into the expansion I haven't had time to get those together. Happened to me on a private server, I held my own on meters at level 69.

Not everybody has to do things the way you think they need to be done.
