Who is the best class in WoW: Classic? Clearly Shamans, as they don’t need anyone else for Molten Core – as seen here.
Over time, players’ gear in World of Warcraft Classic is getting better. This leads some raid groups to rather unusual actions. A Russian guild has now shown that you don’t need all 9 classes for the Molten Core. One is enough – the Shaman.
What is there to see? The short clip shows the final kill against the final boss of the Molten Core in World of Warcraft. This is a raid for 40 players that usually requires a well-mixed group of most classes to complete.
How did they do it? Shamans can’t actually be “real” tanks in World of Warcraft, as they lack abilities to build enough threat. However, with enough Earth Shocks, the generated threat is enough to keep the bosses’ attention. Since Shamans can be both healers and damage dealers, the rest of the composition was quite simple. Enough healing Shamans and ranged damage dealers ensured that the bosses fell pretty quickly.
Moreover, some of the Shamans also had quite good gear. For example, the “tank” had several items that increased his defensive value, thereby reducing the chance of taking particularly hard hits from bosses. This surely contributed to the success of this raid.
Anyone who wants to watch the whole clip of the raid can do so on Twitch.
There are also some insane achievements in the retail version of World of Warcraft right now. Recently, 29 fire mages and 1 demon hunter cleared the heroic raid Ny’alotha.
What do you think of such a feat? Not hard with such an easy raid? Or an impressive achievement?
