World of Warcraft 2 (BC)

It's been a very long time since I started playing this game. I found some of my random thoughts from way back when, and as I'm anti-deletionist I want to record them somewhere.

OptionHouse is an AddOn to manage AddOns. It's a pretty simple concept.

Works, but no longer shows what addons are loaded

It's called OptionHouse on curse, and the escape menu shows "Option House" (with a space)

World of Warcraft classic content

I was never a "Vanilla WoW" player, and so I never got to see the vast majority of the raiding at that level. I sortof saw patches of stuff, and I even got to wipe on a world dragon a few times. Having not seen all this content, and having gone through most of the quests and very thoroughly through all of the instances I've come to appreciate the stark contrast between Vanilla and everything since.

The Shaman Melee Healer

A while back I had a crazy idea about actually using a hybrid character as a hybrid. I'll post an old essay of mine, just to get it out there.

First some thoughts which are more recent than this piece. Yes it was an oddball idea that I really wanted to try. Hybrids are under-utilized. This was also early WotLK and things may well have changed a lot since then. I also haven't used a WotLK Shaman at all, so I'm probably wrong on a lot of things.

There are various assumptions about range, positioning and mana usage which are actually quite wrong in practice. Melee-range totems don't offer too much of an advantage, being very close to a tank isn't needed, etc.
