The one word that no one knew about before WoW

Viable, no one ever said that word pre-WoW. Now everyone says it pretty much all the time. I think this is more true for European players though, but still.

gank

wtf

i dont think ive ever seen that word in a WoW related context

Uh, I'm fairly verbose and have used/heard that word on several occasions. You should expand your vernacular.

Dps warriors are not viable in 10mans bleh bleh.
That spec isn't viable blah blah.
Bringing blah class to bleh instance isnt viable etc etc etc.

This is a retarded thread.

:picard:

It gets tossed around in every rpg, but especially the ones with an active PVP element. I think people just use it more in wow for the same reason they refer to damage as dps and deadmines as vc. Sort of a sheep thing. The funny thing is that almost without exception almost all talent trees are "viable" in that they do what they're supposed to do. Choosing a path that is optimal for what you're trying to accomplish is a horse of a different colour. There's no class and spec though that isn't capable of killing an even con by itself really, where that was actually very possible in a few other games. Somewhere along the line people started confusing viable with optimal and it sort of stuck.

I mean if I was inclined to play a hunter, and pick up a great big spear or axe and go around using melee skills like raptor strike, counter attack, mongoose bite, and disengage. Those skills are there for a reason, and you could technically kill things by using them (and as we all know, hunters are capable of hitting pretty god damn hard with melee weapons). It'd work. It might not be the best choice, but you could do it and be somewhat successful.

It also gets used frequently everywhere.
