What I mean by that, if you’ve disguised them as stream artifacts, so the only reason I even knew it was a jump cut, is cause I edit video as well.

[@christianprevost8455]

what about infinite stun from mace rogue in bc?

[@JesusProtects]

Play the card game "Horus heresy legions" and play a match against any alpha legion deck. I guarantee you, like 40-60% of the match you are going to have most of your cards on the board stunned. In some cases against decks that use few strong and expensive troops you can potentially stun everything the whole match. Now that's what I call not allowing others play the game. I haven't play wow, but being a team based game, wouldn't 12 seconds of stun not be that big of a deal? I can see it a problem on 1vs1 or 2vs2, but 40 vs 40 doesn't seem that bad. By the way, the devs of Horus heresy legions still think to this day, 8 months after releasing the faction, that the alpha legion mechanics are just fine and balanced. The fact that they are the most sold legion on the shop must be just a coincidence... Ha.

[@ir0n2541]

For Pyroblast. in vanilla we had a full Netherwind Regalia set mage in our premade pvp team. Netherwind Regalia has a 10% chance of making your next cast instant after casting frost/fire bolts. this mage was able to cast 3 pyros in row. first pyro was a full cast which triggers the 10% Netherwind Regalia proc instant pyroblast followed by pom+pyro. nobody survived that. We used him to stop flag carriers in wsg.

[@Manicca]

Also; Pyro wasnt the longest - it shared "Longest" cast with Soul Fire. Power Infusion + Soulfire = Oneshot anyone. So playing together with a priest as a lock was amazing.

[@Iluvantir]

Didn't Soulfire require a shard to be spent on it? With all the changes, I've forgotten how much of a headache soul-shards were, lol... but yeah, I still remember how powerful that spell was when used right.

[@fuzzwobble]

A paladin buddy of mine would bubble hearth every time he hearthed for the memes. One day he bubble hearthed to Ironforge and a Horde raid was there. What a twist, and with his bubble down! It was even funnier when two weeks later it happened again. He stopped meme hearthing after that.

[@CrippledMerc]

One of my most memorable pvp moments from Vanilla was when I was leveling my rogue. I started playing around probably late ‘05 or early ‘06 and originally started as a priest, got to around level 40 and was incredibly bored with the class so I rolled a rogue. I was around level 38 or so and questing in STV when I got ganked a couple times by a feral druid that had skull level, but I think he was just barely high enough level to have that display because of what happened next. So after getting ganked twice I rezzed and healed up and went into stealth. I walked around for probably 20 minutes trying to find this druid and was about to give up and say fuck it and go back to questing when I finally found him. He was killing a pally that was level 35 so I waited for him to finish him off and just as he came out of cat form to top off his health I attacked. He was still at about 90% health when I attacked but I gave him everything I had and I managed to scrap it out and kill him, while I was left at about 15-20% health. My server population was heavily horde favored and they would bring in extra people almost any time pvp broke out and a horde got killed, which would then lead to us on alliance trying to bring in anyone we could, which eventually would end up as these massive battles where the alliance would just get outnumbered and crushed. I wasn’t going to give him that satisfaction. I tried to camp his corpse but he managed to give me the slip so I got out of there before he had another chance to kill me. So, a couple days later and I’m back questing in STV and guess who I see? That same druid, camping alliance people trying to quest. I had gained a few levels and now he was no longer showing as a skull to me. I knew I couldn’t take him in a fair fight so I avoided him, but I still will never forget the time I killed a feral druid in STV that was 12 levels higher than me even though I was a total noob. I had a screenshot of me standing on his corpse laughing before he released but it has since been lost. It could still be on one of my old hard drives, but I doubt it. Maybe some day if I have the time I’ll go through them and see if I can pull any old screenshots so that I can get them all in one place and preserve them. Those were good times though.

Warrior: can insta-kill a clothie every time they use mortal strike, which has a cooldown of a few seconds. - "Oh yeah that's a little strong sometimes maybe" Mage: can insta-kill a player but only once every 3 minutes - "THAT'S THE MOST OP THING I'VE EVER SEEN!"

[@Drianikaben]

mortal strike can only 1 shot clothies when it crits. mage can insta kill any armor class without critting. see the difference? one is vastly more powerful than the other.

[@nivyan]

@@Drianikaben Any class with a lot of stamina, which was generally seen as the 'pvp-stat' could easily survive any low-to-mid level mage' pom-pyro combo or resist it by chance. ANY warrior with Arcanite Reaper could one-shot a cloth which. See the difference? Also, one has a 3 minute cooldown, the other 10 seconds, that's 18 mortal strikes for every 1 pom pyro. In a battleground lasting an hour, 360 Mortal Strikes vs 20 Pom Pyros. Additionally, there exists a lot of counters to the mage' combo as it most often requires a pyroblast cast at followed by the combo to truly one-shot. A 6 second cast time is hard to pull off in PvP - most often using Polymorph to CC the target while casting, but polymorph had MANY ways to break. Also, Flame Reflector.

8:51... There was one reason you wanted fast weapons on a rogue, faster attack meant you could get more stacks of poison on enemies, If I remember right a good rogue combo was a slow main hand weapon with either wound or crippling poison for PVP or Instant poison for PVE with a fast off hand weapon with Deadly poison for both PvE and PvP, fast stacks of Deadly poison + Envemon a skill that would consume 1 stack of deadly poison for every combo point dealing additional damage per point, similar to Eviscerate but ignores armor and deals Nature damage. Was pretty strong with a fast offhand weapon with deadly poison, if you didn't stack up 5 stacks quick enough you could always shiv to get the last stacks up before doing massive damage that ignored armor. Any other class, yeah the slower the better, but for rogues you wanted one slow weapon and one fast.

[@awdwadawdwadw8651]

[@hockeyhacker97]

@@awdwadawdwadw8651 Was it? Doesn't surprise me, by the time I leveld up a rogue to level cap it was about 3 days before TBC so doesn't surprise me if I mixed up some of the spells from the TBC since I played a rouge late in vanilla. Either way having one slow main hand for the skill damage, and one fast off hand for the poison procs was still a decent way to do some decent damage, pretty sure it wasn't till TBC that they changed the procs from a flat % chance per attack to % chance based on weapon speed per attack... I could have that backwards but I don't think so.

[@MrOrmanley]

Has some good mentions, but this list lacked a crucial one, which, imo, was way worse than most; Polymorph rank 4 (obtained at lvl 60) *50s duration* (in pvp as well) You can polymorph a dude, grab a wsg flag, and cap it by the time he's out, if you can grab those speed boots on your way. Now add to that dimishing returns, and you'll get 50s (1st poly), 25s (2nd poly) and 12.5s (3rd poly), for a total of 87.5 seconds (!) Another strong (yet missing) contender is druid shape shifting in pvp. Being straight up permanently immune to poly/hex, being able to shift out of snare/root as often as you want (and mana permits) and having speed increase in cat/travel form + bear form and hots...druids as carriers were broken, nuff said.

[@Tillman581]

I'd argue that the Warlock issues were also their only defense. Every other class had ways of braking CC and could get trinkets and other things to help there. Warlock had no way of breaking CC beyond Engineering and a PVP trinket (That everyone had), and with the added diminishing returns to Fear after those three casts that they broke out of they were just immune. I want to try Classic, see how it measures up, but at the same I'm I think it would be the version of the game that caused me to leave, which was where we got hit with about fifteen nerfs, because they couldn't be bothered to fix a re-spawn bug, and destroyed the ability of the Lock to soul link, which was my build (Demonology melee warlock)

[@lvsoad22]

John Lacy please tell me more about your demonology melee warlock build

[@Tillman581]

@@lvsoad22 Full demon spec with a few points in Destruction or Shadow, depending on what you want to go for there, this is built more around fire damage. as it was one of the few builds that used the Fire Stone as your offhand, soul link with the blueberry for lots of HP, or succubus if you want to ambush/burst down folk. Make sure to quest for the trinket that lets you summon another voidwalker for free, very helpful there. you want a wand that will boost spell damage, fire if you can manage it. Fire enchant on your main hand weapon, personally, I ground for a blue dagger that was a world drop off in the Highlands, the dagger had a chance on hit of lowering fire resist, stacking with the curse. if all things went well the various procs and your fire spells make quick work of enemies. you can take the beating thanks to the soul linked VW, and can still dot/drain well. bonus, the VW has a good enough taunt that you can off tank some pretty big dungeons, main tank even if you are on the ball. you have the talent to quick summon a new VW if needed, and can pop the shield if the demon/you is/are about to drop. I assume this version of WoW doesn't have the neg resistances, so you wont see the massive procs/crits I had back then, but it could still drive full MC builds to almost zero fire resist and make people regret lives. If you go up against things with a lot of fire resist you can also just switch back over to your shadow skills and more dots. But that build took me through most of the high end content and PVP, but I wasn't the BIG raider type. I was also an engineer as I needed to be to have the escape trinket, but it also helped to have the goblin jumpercables for an additional rez with the Soul Stone. Rocket boots to get some space if needed. overall, build comes into its own, like many demon builds, when you have Soul Link, but the reaction from people when you dont run away and draw a blade is pretty great. Tough to kill, persistant, and just when they think they have won, shield and fast summon another VW to start again.

[@captainplaceholder4482]

Heroic strike and maybe cleave were the only instances where one could argue a fast weapon was good on a warrior. Fast weapons were also nice in the offhand of rogues for poison purposes. Heroic strike was just a more damage replacement for your auto attack. And it tended to have really good threat. So if you had a warrior with dagger for example, and excess amounts of rage, you could spam heroic strike with it really fast to pile on threat.

@comocosonoEWL shamans could only purge off one bubble. The other interesting thing is the person in charge of balancing only played druid.... you can tell when he switched from healer to dps. I have a friend who lived next to the dude. I mained shaman but I was a no lifer raider and got every class eventually. With a shaman you could kill almost everything. You just had to be able to react with the correct totem set and know when to purge over heal. My favorite thing was to purge a 3 min mage and just auto attack them to death because I could. Warriors and bleed rogues were the hardest to deal with. Grounding totem mostly nullified warlocks and for whatever reason warlocks would never attack the totem. Healer Paladins just took a long time and purge and well timed grounding totems were your friend. Also learning where your totems drop so you can move in the opposite way so they won't just look over and swat it because you would be able to kite them made a large difference but most people didn't even bother sadly. Shaman a class that was easy to play but the skill gap was massive unlike most classes.

In vanilla they valued instant dmg, when static -->white damage, was uncrontrollable. But highly sought for. Fast weps for gain I.E RAGE, while slow is better for smash.

[@bass-dc9175]

The "Warlock fight in a nutshell" Comment was taken from a german KZbinr called "Barlow". He made guides for every class (except shaman) back in the days of BC. Quote "Der Typische Kampfablauf ist: Fear, Dot, Dot, Dot, Drain life, Fear, Drain life, Skillcoil, Spucken, Auslachen." Translation: "The typical fight is: Fear, dot , dot, dot, drain life, fear, drain life, skill-coil, spit, laugh."

[@3DTyrant]

Why do I want to see an animated version of his Four Horsemen story?

[@spiritfree5050]

@7:00 Yup and with sacrifice Subbubus 15% extra shadow damage Nightfall 4% chance to fire instant shadow bolts and Improved shadow bolt you could do another 20% shadow damage combine that with curse of Element (10%) and you can trow instant Kamayameha type Shadow bolts that would hit like a Truck basically dealing 15% + 20% + 10% extra shadow damage

[@Gam1ngSyzygy]

I love that the naked dagger guy got his own South Park episode

[@sharkgirling]

19:39 rare footage of bajheera using his own pyroblast

[@sabotagee610]

Dude my guild is one of the top guilds on my server in vanilla while and I was one of the top geared druids on the server and one of my buddies in my guild had hand of Ragnarok and I was just pocket heal him and we wouldn't even play objective but we'd be like top honor kills every game even if we lost

[@connman8d617]

They should have left the forsaken as actual undead units and let them keep their cc immunity but, in exchange for that, healers should have been able hurt them by casting heals on them offensively like they could in Warcraft 3. That would have been lit.

[@operez1990]

9:56 you could see from the look on his face he had really bad flashbacks and got super triggered hearing those 2 abilities.

[@Volkain10]

Shamans can't dual wield in vanilla so the info about downranking windfury is just wrong or from tbc

[@matthewpaul8259]

Volkain10 yeah I leveled an alt shaman in tbc and was dual wielding flurry axes using wind fury procs- was so broken

[@cedricvillani8502]

YA I also was a DW Shaman so idk what game you played, you didn’t get it trained at super low levels that’s about it

[@matthewpaul8259]

It was tbc

[@matthewpaul8259]

I got dual wield when it was available level 10 for enhancement

[@EnderElohim]

i dont remember pyroblast having cooldown because it had not. Maybe what i'M talking about was burning crusade? i dont remember because what i was using insta double pyroblast. how? somehow manage to cast first pyroblast normally like sheep enemy or something than when you cast first pyroblast instantly cast instant pyroblast :D

[@Kaaosification]

Weapon speed normalization only affected the bonus dmg from attack power, which was calculated based on fixed weapon type specific factor for instant attacks after the normalization. Slow weapons were still better after the change but not quite as much

[@matthewfreeman5838]

You missed a few, plainstriding for Tauren's and the Warlock bubble. I damn near quit when they removed the warlock bubble. It was the best ability Lock's had and the only thing to counter the rouge or pally in PvP. Inb case you do not know of the Lock bubble, you sacrificed your Voidwalker and got the same bubble the Pally got. They nerfed this ability to be unusable.

[@spiritfree5050]

@6:00 Funny how back in Vanilla the following classes where deemed overpowered and needed nerfing Lot's of QQing -Warlock with fear -Rogue with cheapshot -mage frostbolt blink combo -Priest with Mind control -Hunter with drain mana shot -Paladin with their bubble -Shaman with their FROSTShooooooooooooooooooooooooK basically every class except Druid because druid is shit and they can heal or Tank for shit was considered overpowered and all that QQing will come back aaaaaaaaaaaa Cant wait

[@neru9547]

15:14 In patch 1.11 shamans could not dual wield. Shaman - Dual Wield. Patch 2.0.1 (05-Dec-2006): Added.

[@flessuh]

Flying in TBC was more fun with PoM.. just not with pyroblast but polymorph. Follow it up by a fire blast and watch people fall to their death while slow falling xD (yes, polymorph dismounted people, and damage broke the morph)

[@velrdio679]

Fly up to afk player. SW:P - DP Levitate down. Redo with SW:P and SW:D when possible. Guaranteed kills as a Priest ;)

[@obtoe2973]

i like the editing and cuts on this video a lot, this layout is much more entertaining and concise.

[@Ashfold_Eberesche]

So, I'm not exactly aware of Asmon's history so I could be wrong here, but I find it suspicious and unlikely that he actually fought 4H during Naxx 40. Like I said, I could easily be wrong here, but it seems like EVERYONE did a whole lot of Naxx 15 years later, while at the time, I remember so many people didn't even walk into Naxx let alone kill 90% of the bosses. Happily to be proven wrong, if there's some evidence that he did 4H then I'd love to see it and will happily say I was overly critical.

[@aghadmtl]

Who cares

[@1un4cy]

One time in Arathi Basin on my druid I'm running toward a warrior to moonfire him before he can charge but he could charge anyway, then I was dead. 3600 damage instantly on leather

[@brucepraska7781]

God I miss the days of druids being good shame they got nerfed to oblivion losing tree form was the stupidest thing they ever did

[@michaelsell3193]

Rogues were absolutely worthless vs hunters in nilla. Track hidden + flare ftw.

[@bradmills713]

I'm with you on weapon speed being a thing. 2h fury with OEB (fast 2h sword and basically requires Windfury in your group) was awesome.

[@mitcho590]

No mention of the warrior sword spec fix. Early on it was a warrior version of windfury. I remember getting 5 procs off 1 hit playing my warrior in pvp...was fucking nuts haha

[@blakeshaw5526]

Anyone else ever like to use the eye of Kilrogg warlock ability to stealthily despawn bosses and freak out the raid group? Last I played in Warlords that still worked, anyone know if it still does?

[@SendDreams]

Notice how Priest wasn't on that list once, FeelsBadMan.

[@ieatbadgers]

Send Dreams just wait, until people start complaining about power infusion lol.

[@mokkabonna]

what do you mean? you put power infusion on your friend the 3 min POM mage. not that they need it, lol

[@mokkabonna]

oh and lightwell!

[@Matthew-uv6gl]

Priest was purposely left out, because the other classes too salty they can't MC people off of cliffs.

[@NarcolepticCanadianFlyer]

@@Matthew-uv6gl This literally had me in tears everytime I'd do it. Toooooooo funny.

[@Naivedo]

I was a naked Rogue with Last Year's Mutton duel-wield, and destroyed everyone.

[@scienceboy20814]

Faster weapons were better for rogue off-hands because they could proc poisons more often

[@blalink6458]

Doesn't really matter main hand puts out most of the poisons

[@Nobody-vr5nl]

Shaman dual wielding wasnt added till bc. It wasnt in classic.

[@rorysmistakes]

Hiru pinned that to his top comment of the actual video to clarify.

[@jessestone221]

warlock fear should certainly be on this list, fear is hands down one of the best abilities in the game and is possibly the warlocks best spell... also soul link easily should be on this list as well... its one spell that gives 30% reduce to all damage with no way to be dispelled and it lasts forever... and no you cannot dispel the pet and remove soul link, thats just a private server bug... fear and soul link are by far the warlocks most OP spells...

[@edgararcega3046]

3:15 there is a way to counter this with that one trink that puts a dot on you. I forgot its name but it is a good cc breaker that you can put on yourself. I believe it's even usable while immobilized.

[@billyumbraskey8135]

skull of impending doom

[@twiftree2532]

You have to admit It was magical using spell reflect for the first time on pom mages lol. Just, magical.

[@SpenceReam]

Overlooked OP deets: The 3m mage could 1st begin channeling their hearthstone, and while it cast, be spamming their 1 shot macro combo, WHICH WOULD CAST *AS* THE HEARTHSTONE TOOK EFFECT... As a mage main, I personally did this countless times to world kill players INSIDE OF contested cities, where ordinarily attacking enemy players simply wasn’t done because it resulted in the NPC guards swarming and killing trouble makers. The heath enabled mages to immediately evade each city guard agro, as well as any enemy players beyond the mage’s one shot victim. MORE MAGE OP: The spellbook used to contain “different ranks” of spells. Most players completely ignored lesser level instances of spells in their book, seeing no point in casting anything but “the strongest version” of any spell (i.e. the highest rank), BUT, THE NON DAMAGING EFFECTS OF SPELLS (each direct effects and indirect effects) IGNORED SPELL RANK... this meant that a mage in AV for example, could spam rank 1 blizzards, frost bolts, etc for like NO MANA and freeze/slow enemy players endlessly, then taking advantage of things such as MASSIVELY improved critical strike chances on frozen targets via blinking into a swarm of the frozen enemy faction and AoE-ing them into oblivion. I personally doubled, tripled, quadrupled the damage and kill scores of any other player in the BG and abusing the absolute heck out of rank 1 spells enabled me to many, many many times *single handedly* win AV BGs and *win* 1v2/3/4/more enemy players in BGs as well as world PvP scenarios.

[@MotoVenture.]

His videos should be called *Asmond repeats whatever the voice over says in the videos"

[@1un4cy]

I played arcane mage back in the day, arcane power PoM 3 minutes, pyroblast was either 6 or 10 second cast but had no cooldown

[@Damsels2001]

Miss most of all. The great music videos and stories people did back then on youtube

[@hansyolo8277]

0:48 now I want to make a Pally just to fuck with people

[@mushwar5455]

Hi all, does any information exist if any ''broken'' things Blizz fixed after patch 1.12 in Vanilla will be gone in Classic as well?

[@gamerdoog]

Dug the best Ret Pally in the history of WOW was immune to rogue perma stun. The legendary paladin made short work of the best rogues.
