Just to clarify something regarding Blackwing Lair. For the Complete Raid rankings (Speed/Execution/DPS/HPS), skipping trash with invis pots etc will not be allowed. For the progression race, anything goes. I validate progression off boss kills, so if you want to invis, you can.

For 9 bosses.
That is impressive.

I Think Nefarian is about to have a very bad day tomorrow.
I'm betting he dies within 2 hours of the raid opening.Comment by TofkeNot that I ever cared for speedrunning in games... but a bit silly they say: can't use this potion.
It is an in-game item, everyone can use it... it's not an exploit. Just let them use all the tools and see what is fastest.Comment by AgentkillerleeNot that I ever cared for speedrunning in games... but a bit silly they say: can't use this potion.

People back then were dumb, not skilled. Because right now skilled players are making classic a piece of pastry.Comment by mfuehrerAnother evidence that how ridiculously easy vanilla was.

Odds are the vast majority of the players do want the speed runs to be full clears.Not that I ever cared for speedrunning in games... but a bit silly they say: can't use this potion.

It's common practice to separate runs based on what's allowed to do in the game (Like in SMB3, there's a category for glitching the game to skip to the ending and one for not using that specific exploit).
Even on the WoW Classic page on speedrun.com they separate the category for with or without invis potions, so I think it's more of a community agreement on what's allowed and what's not.Comment by DarkAvatarAnother evidence that how ridiculously easy vanilla was.
