Well, a better password would be combination of a few words, i.e. 3-4, that password could be found in less than a year, I've tried, you can easily rent supercomputers and let them do the calculations for you, that's way faster that such an absurd amount of time.

Yeah, Maisteri showed me the "4 random word" method which never really occurred to me, might update this some day.

Aye, because what a bruteforce would do is to browse through all the combinations in rising order, i.e. a-z(ö), then numbers with just 1 letter, next time it will try all combinations at 2 letters, however, when using words they can be long as shit as really easy to remember, and wordlists never use x4 words to combine, I mean, my password could be Dick******HomoVagina and it will take forever to figure it out

You are wrong, many hackers use words from dictionary ( entire dictionary ) for hacking passwords. It is much easier and faster to crack such password then a password containing same number of letters but using random ones.

Brute force won't work, Blizz would lock down after too many failed attempts. So the hacker would only get a few guesses. And that is assuming the account doesn't have authenticator.

That is true, however, always prepare for the worst case. (Blizzard's password hash table leaked or hacked)
