Already included the Talisman of Ephereal power for +175 temporary spell damage in that number.
I didn't doubt this was real, I really just want to see the math behind it.

In regards to patching and balance, since the game was always evolving patch to patch and expac to expac; have they indicated will they follow a time line of patches for balancing and bug fixes as it originally happened?
I fear another reason it won't be a true vanilla experience is because they know what was changed and fixed down the road, but sometimes those bugs or "features" are what gave the game charm. If they fix/change things, how do they decide the intervals etc.

My favorite time in Vanilla WoW was when I was the only one on our servier with the 8 piece Netherwind set and the instacast/no cool down Pyroblast bug happened. I would feather fall off the cliff in front of the Mine in AB and rain death on everyone.
I hope they bring that bug back for old times sake.

The items and abilities are all patch 1.12. Everything will function that way from day 1. The phases are just the availability of of certain raids and instances. The only change to items will be certain drops such as titanic legging and t .05 won't be added until later patches.

Isn't this like, the entire challenge of being a DPS class? I always thought threat meters were cheating. (really should be called 'hate' instead of 'threat' though, as it makes more sense)
Managing threat is how DPS classes can outshine others. I recall one time for that dragon in BWL, I swapped from mage to my poorly geared (because I had retired it) rogue to help the raid. Since I was poorly geared, I just didn't bother reducing my DPS very much from spending my energy with the -threat ability. My DPS ended up at like #2 behind the top raid geared rogue using 5 man blues because I adjusted my energy budget according to the situation.
Imagine if in EQ, all the wizards could just spam their primary nuke as much as they wanted. Fuck that. I stopped raiding before 1.11 so I guess I missed this nonsense. How disappointing

All m saying is they cannot recreate the true vanilla experience 100%. And they wont. Like why would they allow certain game breaking bugs into patches which they hot fixed out days later and shit, does not make sense, lol.

Oh I gotcha. I legitmatly didn't understand what you were saying, I just kept reading the word "classic" over and over and was noding my head absently. rofl
And for me it was more about those I played with that I loved the game so much. Once expansions started comign out everything changed. Vanilla was one of the most fin gaming experiences I ever had and while a large chunk of that was the game itself, there was a lot more to it for me.

What the fuck are you on about.
Managing threat as dps where only 2 classes have actual threat dumps? If I pulled aggro as a mage, generally I died or fucked the raid because I turned the dragon and it cleaved all over the melee and breathed on the healers.
You out dps'd a bunch of people on a class that didn't have to worry about threat? "Aaaamaazin".... And what is this "adjusted my energy budget according to the situation"? This is some 65 iq level discussion with no facts here.

Dragons in BWL are a comical argument to make for any reason, didn't 3 of them drop threat randomly and just pin cushion whomever attacked next?
