20 Underrated Items in Classic WoW

[@miskee11]

I value everything that can regenerate health and mana efficiently: - Lei of Lilies (a must-have for EVERY class; basically a free Night Dragon's Breath every hour, i.e. a consumable that doesn't share a CD with pots) - Mana replenishment: Energy Cloak, Mar'li's Eye, Second Wind, Fire Ruby (Mage), Arcane/Ley Orb (Mage), Robe of the Archmage (Mage), Veildust Medicine Bag (Druid), Enamored Water Spirit (Shaman), Celestial Orb (Mage) - Health restoration: Lifestone (cheap, nice to pick up at 51 for AV grinding), Gauntlets of the Sea (cheap, typically used for tough leveling quests), Furbolg Medicine Pouch, Orb of Soran'Ruk (Warlock), Orb of Noh'Orahil (Warlock) - Burst of Knowledge (I used this on my mage for specific AOE pulls to save 700 mana per pull every 15 minutes (6 AEs + CS = 700 saved)) - Major Recombobulator (restores both health and mana, and contrary to expectation it can be used on yourself even when you aren't polymorphed, essentially just granting you an average of +500 mana and health every 5 minutes without interfering with consumable CDs) On my Mage, I typically equipped Robe of the Archmage/Mar'li's Eye/Energy Cloak before starting to conjure my stacks of water. These items can all be used in conjunction with no interfering cooldowns, so I could always conjure even more water before resorting to Evocation or drinking. Of course when I cast Evocation, I would equip my trusty Will of Arlokk (with +20 Spirit) to go from 0% to 100% mana reliably. Lei of Lilies was an item I made sure to buy for every single character I had. I used it on my Warrior and Rogue as well, even though it does share a CD with Thistle Tea, for example. This little lifeline has saved me a hundred times over throughout my years of playing this game. Seeing as it also restores mana, it's obviously far more useful for any class reliant on mana, but I would definitely recommend it to everyone looking to stay alive. Some of the lower level items I typically discard fairly early on (Veildust Medicine Bag, Arcane/Ley Orb), but their usefulness cannot be overstated. Restoring a big chunk of your mana pool with one press of a button makes your early leveling that much more efficient. Stuff like the Warlock's various orbs that restore health are highly useful for ~10 more levels after obtaining them despite their hefty cooldowns. Whenever we had any wipes, I would make sure to equip my mana restoration items as I re-entered the dungeon/raid portal. I could just click Mar'li's Eye on and let it tick for 30 seconds while running, for example. As for consumables, I created a separate list: - Senggin Root/Cooked Crab Claw (these things can be eaten while drinking water, essentially just giving you a 7% mana regeneration increase whenever you sit down to drink even at level 60) - Crystal Restore (admittedly I didn't carry these things with me religiously, but I did occasionally use them on my Rogue/Warrior to cast heals on OTHER PLAYERS who were in dire straits -- I even recall having saved healers with these) - Juju Escape (these things were a part of my Rogue's daily arsenal, as for some reason I could reliably pick the E'kos for 5-20 silvers each on the AH. I often used them for the cleaving bug packs in AQ40, and the extra 10% dodge reduced my amount of knockbacks to almost 0) - Flash Bomb (not really a secret, but this thing is hilarious vs. Druids and Hunter pets, but what many people forget is that the fear does NOT BREAK from damage!) - Ice/Flame Deflector (these guys don't share CDs with anything (like FAPs), and they really make killing Mages trivial on classes that typically struggle with them) - Discombobulator Ray (another one that really isn't a secret, but it's so powerful I have to mention it: dismount AND debuff players of the opposing faction!) Over my years of playing this game I did also come to realize some other gear pieces never got the love they deserved. I'd like to list some of them below as well. Gear: - Jek'lik's Crusher (this thing is broken for Shamans! It procs from itself, and each separate proc can trigger WF. In my tests, I personally witnessed it proccing 8 times in 1 hit, essentially one-shotting almost any player) - Gnomish Cloaking Device (can be used in combat, works like Vanish in PVP but does not drop aggro from mobs) - Chained Essence of Eranikus (I like using this funny trinket when pulling 3 core hound packs (12 mobs), and it does a total of 5400 damage without using a GCD. I find it hilarious) - Heart of Noxxion (kind of a niche use case, but I duoed BRD's arena for SGC with a Priest friend, and the poisons cast by the scorpids/arachnids can completely cripple you if you can't cleanse them, and this trinket is a free solution to that problem) - Gnomish Harm Prevention Belt (essentially a belt that grants you 560 Health and can be equipped as early as level 20 -- a solid gank protection item for any alt leveling in STV, as even when it fails, it BANISHES you for 20 seconds making you immune to any damage) - Blackblade of Shahram (when this thing procs and summons Shahram, the buffs he can provide to your group are absolutely PHENOMENAL (+25% haste to group, +50 all stats)) - Misplaced Servo Arm (not a Chance on hit, but an Equip effect, meaning when you have 2 of these, your main hand actually benefits from both effects resulting in a flurry of procs) - Blade of Eternal Darkness (not just a Mage item, but it also comes with hidden benefits to other classes: BIS for Elemental Shamans, and it used to proc from a Priest's Mind Vision before it was unfortunately nerfed)

[@falandrion2870]

9:23 - Isn't this a trinket? If so, how are you going to equip this mid fight / shortly before a wipe to avoid repair costs? It seems to me the only use of this item is that is provides an easy way to kill yourself anywhere, so that you can easily revive beyond doors etc. to access hard to reach places (or the Scholomance instance portal for that matter).

Demon slayer is very good for hunter bow quest, specially burning steps demon

I'm unsure about that. By the time you do the demon hunter quest you would either wield two bone slicing hatchets or better yet the barbarous blade from DM North, which has 5 more dps and comparable stats at 60 AP + 1%crit. The demon attack power on the demon slayer can't really make up for the dps of most level 60 weapons imo. When I think about it you might actually be able to buy a vendorstrike from your guild and do a lot better against burning steppes demon.

[@ethanfrehner3620]

Crystal of zin-malor wasn’t really used to skip durability damage.... it was used during boss encounters like high priest thekal in ZG and Ossirian in aq20 where the maintank would get incapacitated and the damage from the crystal would break the effect so the tank could get right back on the boss and no tank swap would be required

[@slaktarbengt]

Correct me if I'm wrong but since it is a trinket you can't equip it during combat, right? If so, it further suggests it would not be used by any other role than the main tank, who could reasonably be healed through the damage

[@1MoreTurn]

Sancho Panza you can swap, but you have to wait a certain amount of time to use the “use” effect i think.

[@ethanfrehner3620]

Sancho Panza that’s correct, trinkets could not be equipped/unequipped during combat in vanilla.

[@ethanfrehner3620]

1MoreTurn you can only swap trinkets outside of combat. And the crystal was an on equip effect not on use. So the moment you equipped it you would start to take damage

[@Nowski101]

The OP is correct. I currently use this item when I MT ZG or AQ20 on Elysium. You can’t swap between trinkets in combat in vanilla. When I put this on I start taking damage right away but when I’m buffed my spirit is usually able to counteract any loss, especially with a renew.

underrated PvP utility: - Discombulator ray (independent of engineering, dismount/slow people at range) - nifty stopwatch (speed buff trinket, e.g. warsong, combine with free action potion) - the heal plants from felwood (different cooldown timers than potions and each other, see top pvpers like laintime make lots of use of it) - sticky glue from the darkspear lvl 10 quest (horde, 10 pieces). it was tradeable and allowed to root players for 10 seconds. I bought this off low level players or played some alts to farm this. - parachute cloak (engineering) for arathi basin - weapon chain (made from blacksmiths, prevents disarm) on a second weapon for melees, switch when needed (dominate warrior duels) - swim speed items/potions in arathi basin - "Swift boots" leather craftable, engineering independent alternative to rocket boots. e.g. extra sprint for rogues or sprint in bear form as druid (synergizes with nifty stopwatch and free action potions) - shrink ray (engi trinket, lowers ap of target considerably. I used it when better trinkets were on cd) - pet trinkets (natures grasp, cast interruption, etc.) - invisibility potion (cast break when getting out of combat during a pvp fight, happens often. nice as a warrior) - using shield against hunters as a melee while not in melee range, because a chance to block lowers their crit chance, as every attack is only rolled once. the armor is also useful. - ...

the trinket is kinda useless... it toally drains ur mana and hp, but u can't equip it during the whipe because u can't swap items during combat, same for pvp, if it was an use than yeah for sure.

[@Alexandros.Mograine]

you can as a hunter or rogue but its still useless because you could just aswell do a macro to unequip all armor with durability, the trinket is worse than the macro because if your raid is wiping its no even certain that the damage from the trinket will be the one to kill you.

Wasn't it fun in the old days when Warcraft wasn't so overdesigned, they haven't homogenise the game trying to balance it and take out a lot of exploration and fun of items dropping? WoW was taken so seriously later on, it started to derail. The classes, the system, the items, progression, quests and raids was such a mess, but it was also a ton of fun.

Each game director has his own vision of the game, the later ones aren’t very big on exploration which in my opinion is a major part of a RPG game. You know it is a good game when the developers actually play the game themselves.

[@Numira]

Some of them are quiet nice, the Problem is only. Some of these items seems nice on paper with the procs, but the chances are so rdiculously low that its not worth it. Like the Dark iron pulverizer who stuns the target for like 6 or 8 seconds... Most of these items have a proc chance of 0,5-1% and dont proc on weapon effects and only normal hits. Second, if you pvp you dont rly on big lucky items. To hope for a 6sec silence is just stupid and way to unreliable. Btw. the trinket is useless to negate repair costs, cause you cant equip trinkets in fight.

I’ve got the #1 ring on my druid; the 500 damage shield wears out a bit quick to be useful for 30 mins sadly. There are better rings out there- but standing in TB/Org with a little pink pally shield and “double” dragon Slayer WB gets some attention 😂

[@MybridWonderful]

Meh, nothing tactical. The Badlands has a trinket that will increase speed by 40% for 10 seconds just by completing a quest line. If you know you are going into a risky fight then having this trinket available to run away can save you a lot of repair bills. It will also extend the 17.3 second invisibility range of the invisibility potion.

@Hamsterwheel , Silent Fang is an amazing Warrior Tank weapon. It works well on trash as it procs frequently, at least once per fight.

[@Xatruch504]

I played casual classic wow and I have two warriors, one is fury with Mirah's Song and Trash Blade, and the dps boost is considerably high, the rage build by Mirah's and the extra swing from Trash Blade is nice, the other warrior is prot, and I have Mirah's as well, rage ain't an issue.

[@ChloeOBrien-no1sz]

Mirah song shouldn’t be here, it’s pre rade BiS for swords rogues and in litterally every rogue BiS guide

[@bluetounge]

Dark Iron Pulverizer - it can be tricky to obtain but it has a chance on hit to stun forr 8 seconds... Now its damage isnt anything amazing which is why its rare to see, but in the hands of a melee shaman this can be an amazing team based option.

[@lt32p1]

You are absolutely wrong about Mirah's Song. It is extremely well known and widely used sword. Either you use it when you get Viskag or other raid sword or if you're unlucky/cant be arsed to farm entire Dal Rend set.

[@themanhands5599]

Cool video. Learned quite a bit. But maybe you could avoid transitions like "The next thing I want to talk about in this video is..." That's a pretty fucking lazy segue.

[@dico3557]

Crystal of Zin-Malor.... you can't equip trinkets in combat. Do you really think it would be 'useful' to have that shit ticking you to death the whole fight? Come on dude...

[@ecMonify]

isn't mirah's song pre-raid BIS for rogues and fury warriors? i mean, 99% of all rogues and warriors on private servers get that sword as soon as they possibly can :P not really underrated i'd say, and definitely not unknown :P

[@neighborlyfiend1484]

No one ever talks about the cannonball runner... Take it into AB with the peasant caller and you can prevent flag caps like a champion! The cannon hits all targets in front of it, this means when you see multiple players trying to cap the flag you can toss it down and it prevents them all from capping while its active. its also funny to watch.

[@bryando6752]

I was fortunate to get the +arcane damage staff (dropped from Scarlet Monastery trash) while leveling balance Druid. It was a solid power spike!

[@fursel5786]

Mark of the Dragon Lord visual was like lightening shield but with one ball of shadow color wow.zamimg.com/uploads/screenshots/normal/174739-mark-of-the-dragon-lord-glowing-purple-orb-that-matches-rogue-t0-5-set-well.jpg

[@20the20]

mark of the dragon lord fucking sucks. your shield will last for 2-3 pulls tops. trash, not bosses. its a neat item to flex in org and thats it. mirah's song is on every bis list for rogues. this list is not very well researched

[@CarrowMind]

Love all the comments saying "X item isn't underrated bruh, we used it all the time!" Sure you did buddy, and if you *really* did then that doesn't mean _everyone_ did, it doesn't make you smart or cool to "figure it out".

[@OliverMichael7]

Silent fang is one of my farvorites ❤ and crescent staff from leader of fangs are BIS shaman weapon untill 29 corpsemaker

[@gavekorttilikea]

The mention of the Mark of the dragon lord, gets me so fucking heated. Back in vanilla i had it drop on my priest and a rogue needed on it, won and said he just wanted to have an epic ring. Still so salty all these years later that i always need to rogue gear if i can.

[@driiifter]

Good luck getting that ring out of LBRS. I dunno if I ever saw it drop ever and I loved LBRS, used to always try to get the Hunter shoulders from there, as well as other things, saw a Skullflame Shield drop.

[@barakgooroo5082]

The ring? Pff thats nothing. Try farming the trinket. (From the same boss)

[@frysin8045]

Here before the bald man can react.

[@mihaelvulchev7003]

Stamina and spirit on low lvls it's opposite of terrible and spirit if ur BFF as warrior until you reach ur late 20's.

[@zackwoods5077]

The Annihilator is NOT underrated AT ALL because it's the meta to have an OT or hunter keep it up on the boss.

[@Baja383]

Wasn't the ravager a notorious weapon for causing groups to wipe because it caused non tanks who weilded it to aggro?

[@naromngin]

i have the ring. the problem with it is you usually get aggro'd and lose the buff pretty quickly

[@LewReviews]

Also flameguard Wepon works with the prock each tick will prock a fire prock good aoe for shammy

[@thomasgilman9355]

All items mentioned are trash and should be vendered. You must be extremely bored making this garbage.
