Amazing video format. Out of the minmaxers mentality, you are presenting the classes with a very general and objective look, not going into too much details on the combat mechanics but focusing more on the everyday life of a class. You are really underrated and I love your videos. You deserve way more views and subs. Can’t wait for the paladin guide!

[@FistOfHatred]

Thanks for making this , find your channel quite educationnal ! Btw, could you sum it all up in a vid dedicated to " macros / addons " i think it would help (me/players) get track so when we give wow a try we don't have to wonder what or what not to install/make in order to have an optimal gaming experience. Thanks WillE (:

Hey WillE, I really don’t say this since of how oversatured this comment is, but your content is really high quality for a channel this small and that you deserve alot more attention. I’d like to see you cover the shaman some time soon. Thanks and keep up the great work!

[@WillEmmo]

Thanks so much, looks like its a popular choice so far!

[@joncoish]

Every other video I've seen about druids in classic actually say that heart of the wild build is great for raiding because the 20% extra int is huge and you still get the main things in the resto tree.

[@mikeclarke3990]

I've raided as 0/30/21 and it's fine, can off tank, dps, decurse and heal fine.

[@thevlaka]

If youre dpsing or tank hotw is not the way to go.

[@WillEmmo]

Interesting!

[@Kittsuera]

yeah, its hotw or power shift build depending on what you plan on doing. in both cases you end up up with 5 points in heart of the wild.

[@v4rr0lot3k6]

Druid's strength is versatility. They are the ultimate hybrid.

[@Isheepzu]

yes, Druids can preform well in any role regardless of talents unlike a Shaman who NEEDS talents to perform well. Don't let that Kitty say that they can't heal.

[@lon3pk3r]

More great content! 👍👍

[@Suckynewb]

Quick note about Powershifting as a full Feral druid. You need to include the line "/cancelaura Leader of the Pack" BEFORE /cancelform. The game doesn't remove LotP before shapeshift is cancelled so if you shift properly (little to no delay) by hotkeying the stance bar in blizzard UI you won't have 100% LotP up time. If you've got LotP and already got the macros bound and on your bars it's easily replicable just by clicking the stance bar icons quickly. #showtooltip /stand /cancelaura Leader of the Pack /cancelform /cast Cat Form I tried to put /dismount in at one point too but it made the macro need more than 1 button press.

[@KlockoArt]

To follow up on this, you would also need to /cancelaura Predatory Strikes as well. For some reason it acts as a hidden aura in game that cancels out every other shift into cat/bear form. Just be sure to add that line after LotP

[@WillEmmo]

Interesting, thanks for mentioning this!

[@BaktusBror]

The Archmages in EPL can NOT drop the Crusader enchant pattern; that was added in in TBC. The only ones that can drop it are the Scarlet Spellbinders in WPL. Tyr's Hand is still a great farming spot though, especially with a friend or two for faster kills

[@raviencrafttv4375]

I'd love to see Mage next

[@illoney5663]

Also: Druid VS druid with both as resto spec is an eternal fight. Was attacked in Moonglade once whilst fishing and you'd think the other druid would realise after like 10+ minutes that it was pointless but no...

[@Aricade111]

Good vid, very feral dps heavy. Would have been nice to talk on the EASE (And I mean serious Ease) in gathering pre-raid BIS, tanking dungeons and rolling on healing gear. Make sure to notify your grp before hand. Then you're a geared healer rdy to go and pick up Druid gear cause there's only 1-2 per raid. Anyway I'm rambling. Great vid

[@WillEmmo]

Cheers I agree its kind of hard to say everything in a timely manner for druids, there so much to cover, I always feel like I have to choose a bit on what to do

[@Aricade111]

@@WillEmmo Hope it didn't come across overly critical. The Vid is WONDERFUL (I learned a bunch). Empathize with the difficulty in choosing what to cover, especially with Druid.

[@howlingwolf5213]

this is the first I'm hearing that the Scarlet Archmages can drop the Crusader Enchant. After doing a quick search everyone who says it drops seems to be on the 2.0 patch so I'd like to see some source that shows that they actually drop it on this patch

[@ashtonscalise6949]

Class distinction is the best part of classic and reason I quit in cata.

[@Ghostly-00]

I agree, class distinction is awesome

[@treepizzle]

Good stuff. I’d say focus on the hybrid classes first. Much more interesting. So shaman or paladin next. I’d lean more to shaman. Since paladins are already top tier raid and PvP healers. Shaman is a bit more dynamic.

[@michaelwalker6523]

As a druid on a PvP server. I feel that farming the elementals in Un'Goro is a very strong gold farm. Obviously better with mining/herb, but even without the spacing of spawns is ideal for the druid ST cat rotation.The spacing between each spawn is such that you'll never aggro multiple, but never travel >4sec between spawns mostly. Also, there are several spawns where you can use charge to skip a few seconds of walking.

[@ShakerGER]

Can't wait for priest!

[@tahutahu2446]

Scarlet Spellbinders drop the Crusader enchant recipe. The archmages don't drop them until sometime after 2.0, during the BC pre-release event (I think that's the patch). 5:40 Heart of Fire, often dropped by the high-end mobs that also drop elemental fire, can be transmuted into 3 elemental fire with only a 10 minute transmute cooldown. I know on my server, elemental fire just sells quicker than hearts presently in Phase 1 Sourced from Classic Wowhead, and also farming crusader off of Spellbinders.

[@tahutahu2446]

I guess in addition, I think you should have covered Balance still, even for end-game when druids are considering going healing spec for dungeons but don't want to be completely gimped for world content. While bleeds don't work on elementals (which sucks as feral when farming them for coveted materials), Starfire and Moonfire still have effect. It wasn't really covered how effective a dungeon geared balance (or) balance/resto hybrid could function, but even playing around with the talent calculator, you can poke into Moonkin form at the cost of slight healing gains, or get better healing at the cost of raw damage (dependent on how your ideal resto talent set-up looks though, this may not be possible to spec into hybrid much.) Mana is not an issue (short term) in most dungeons since most casters drink after every pull/every other pull giving druids ample time to drink for themselves, though heavy pushback in solo content might be an issue when casting chain starfire. A druid with mana consumables (mana potions and demonic runes) will definitely fare better if they have access to alchemy and satyr farming, with the potions being easily farmed as druids are able to get to herb nodes quicker and without much less interruption (via entangling roots and hibernate). The major downside to Balance druid is still gear, as most caster DPS gear is cloth rather than leather, and presently in phase 1 of classic WoW the druid dungeon set is kind of ass. I think if someone really wants to be a caster druid, it's totally plausible up until raiding (unless the raid lead doesn't mind a little less damage), and that the strengths of these other druid options should have been explored. - - - I know these videos are taxing to make, especially when you take on -every- class and a lot of variables come into play with leveling, end game farming, and then end game content shaking up a lot of builds, but I beg of you to please consider showing off an Elemental shaman build, especially with elemental mastery (which apparently makes for some swift kill times at level 45). Even if it sucks in long encounters, like druids, I want to see the viability of them for leveling/end game farming.

[@MrEverisforever]

Because you had no skill, play better you made us look bad.

[@vinceken1088]

Make the other classes!! Please love the vids keep em up!

[@AurioDK]

There are very few videos about people like me, the filthy casuals who never farm and we are actually the majority of players. Many of us old timers do not have the time required to farm and it becomes increasingly difficult to do dungeons due to time restrictions. We do all the fun stuff, questing and grouping for what is readily available at the spot we are currently active in. After a max of one hour real life always come knocking, it´s either the kids, the wife or other trivial but nevertheless important tasks to maintain various relations like f.ex. helping my neighbour with his stupid house which is falling apart. I meet a lot of people like myself, we are the ones who won´t get a mount till at least lvl 50 and tonight I actually had to spend my gametime "farming" for a pair of Nightscape Boots, that took about an hour of killing wolves in Feralas but unfortunately I didn´t quest. Did I mention earlier that I never farm? Well, I guess there are a few exceptions now and then. Liked the video nevertheless and got a bit wiser about the druid, the only class I really didn´t touch back in 2004.
