Let me ask a query: have you ever died in WoW Traditional Hardcore but? I’ve and, actually, it was one in all my favourite World of Warcraft experiences thus far. Hardcore is about survival, certain, nevertheless it’s additionally about going out in a blaze of bloody glory – or, alternatively, yeeting your self off of one thing by chance (responsible, as charged). Within the wake of Hardcore’s launch, Blizzard has unveiled some stats in regards to the MMORPG‘s newest mode, and belief me after I say it actually, actually sucks to be a Hunter.
Blizzard has recorded over 360,000 deaths post-launch, with most of them showing to occur round Orgrimmar and Darkshore (and Teldrassil, apparently, Evening Elves be mad) in Kalimdor, and Westfall, Ironforge, and Tirisfal Glades within the Japanese Kingdoms.
Whereas The Horde appears intent on utilizing Orgrimmar as its battleground, a minimum of the Alliance retains the combating a bit farther from its doorstep. Darkshore and Westfall are degree 10-20 areas, so having an abundance of deaths there is sensible given the common degree gamers are dying at is 9.
Tirisfal Glades (my previous Forsaken stomping floor) and Ironforge are barely higher-level zones, so it’s doubtless extra skilled Hardcore gamers who’ve been juking it on the market – maybe making use of the brand new Duel to the Demise operate. Or, alternatively, that’s the place all the Hunters are, given 32% of all Hunters on the Hardcore realms are actually lifeless. Fs within the chat, mates.
The carnage continues in #WoWClassic Hardcore!

That will not be too shocking, although, as the great of us over at Wowhead do place the category on the backside finish of the DPS PvE tier record for Traditional. Survival Hunter at the moment ranks C-Tier with Marksman, whereas BM is lagging at D-tier. Given Blizzard’s give attention to making Hardcore PvE orientated to draw extra informal gamers, Hunters struggling isn’t actually that a lot of a shock.
Whereas I don’t play Hunter, I’m simply typically very, very unhealthy at, y’know, staying alive (in videogames, don’t fear). My first (and solely) demise was attributable to yeeting my Draenei Priest off of a cliff face by chance, so I’ve no proper to giggle on the Hunters – however I’ll, after all.
Within the meantime, in case you’re hoping to overcome Hardcore we’ve a WoW Classic Affliction Warlock guide that will help you whittle down enemy well being bars from afar or, in case you favor to stand up shut and private, we’ve a WoW Classic Death Knight guide, too.
