PLAYING A WC3 BLADEMASTER in WOW! | Conquest of Azeroth CLOSED ALPHA | Monk 1-50

[@brandonkruse6412]

Oh boy, this brings back a flurry of nostalgia from playing old WC3 custom maps.

[@WolfPeace82]

OH MY GOD I WON!!! you are thee man Dubbz Life has kicked my ass for 3 years now and you just gave me a small gift...Thank you so much

[@shankywantsyou]

Blademaster spec seems really awesome. And making Blademaster strike a cast time gives it the feel of playing a slam build, which I do enjoy. - Skeleton

[@Hilvarious]

Hey man it was a pleasure being on your team in that shitty bg, even though I got crushed the whole time by the starcaller. You can have my axe any time!

[@jacemm8766]

You're doing fantastic with these videos man.

[@Kronosxviii1]

Reminds me of a few ff14 classes or gw1 assassin with the combo's and skill chain sequences.

[@estebanm.6210]

I had a dream last night that I won the COA access.. Make me a prophet and not a liar pls - Feetenjoyer

[@oweneasley2684]

I had a dream last night that you played the f2p server and bought the access book for the 2000g it takes

[@beyOndzZz]

Would love that special blademaster crit animation from wc3 implemented here.

[@idryal123]

Thanks for your Content Mate ❤ - Pemburu

[@ivianviola]

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO TELL YOU TO PLAY THE BLADEMASTER!!!! ITS SO MUCH FUN :DDDD

[@bleachwolf6936]

Bladestorm should be like the bladestorm from wr3 - a literal storm of fire. But this is crazy what ascension is doing. Literally crazy. Amazing job.

[@djodjekg81]

What 500 likes lol,Mcdouble do you know, you are doing dream job we all wanted ,all of your followers or at least 98% of us...plust you do Ascension 🎩👏👊

[@kyleganse4978]

The class seems really nicely designed. The ranges fire blade strike is great.

[@nicolasferrer3523]

It’s finally happening, my WC3 dreams are coming true!!!!

[@winterwood1]

Did Blademaster have a talent for some kind of Mirror Image? I recall the W3 Blademaster having that as a skill.

[@Da_Juice7]

This was my favorite spec for sure, I do miss the holy rune system, but I can get used to the new playstyle. It just feels like a jump, and kind of out of nowhere. Definitely feels like the followup buff should last longer. Love the videos, keep it up buddy, been following you for ages, first comment though.

[@JoshuaCeres81]

The range is OP, they hit you like they are holding a phone poll.

[@briciusd.8478]

I feel like you could do a rocking remix of all the WC class sounds that match up to the ones CoA is making

[@Lololelechoa]

LOVE your pvp montages!

[@Mcdoubles]

Glad you like them!

[@xXFoiXx]

I am not sure I understand why Blademaster is a spec of Monk. I haven't played it so I might be off but it feels like it is two different class fantasies clashing Blademaster in my head makes more sense as a spec of Knight of Xoroth given all the fire and orc thematic. Or Barbarian, even Guardian or Pyromancer. Ubirajara, Archimonde

[@ThePlayer920]

It makes sense because the Blademaster in WC3 was all about being a master swordsman that fights with the fluid grace and agility of a monk.

[@dexsoul85]

The key feature of a Blademaster was the mirror images and being able to swap positions with them. That's the main reason Wind Walk would work, you pop clone images, Wind Walk, and then swap position to one of the clones, be it for damage or to escape. Feels like if there is no mirror images, wind walk is just a crappy stealth. At least that's what I remember playing in WC3 and Heroes of the Storm with Samuro. Blademaster was never a straightforward warrior type, but more of an elusive assassin who micromanages clones to create confusion and chaos.

[@SweetOdinsRavens]

Please convince Liquid to develop a mirror image spell for blademaster.

[@cadneemountai2791]

Good job hamburger man!

[@gearhead417]

Blademaster kinda reminds me of Samurai in Final Fantasy 14. Where it has one move that has a cast time but its a powerful strike. I do think Blademaster Strike should be the thing you get for being a Blademaster and not in the class tree

[@alecshockowitz8385]

I like Blademaster, but I wish there was one on Classless Ascension. I really want a spec that basically empowers your next Mortal Strike with a magic effect of different types, likely through using spells of that school, and then does something like cannot gain Combo Points normally, only Mortal Strike and finishing moves are modified into Mirror Image, Mini Bladestorm, etc.

[@nightknight7748]

I think you really underestimate the burning charge talent. They can kite melee with burning charge as well as close gaps with it. Which really helps against ranged matchups. They really only lack strong self healing

[@Mcdoubles]

It was different when Burning Thrust wasn't a combat move that required 3 BMS to use though right? Now it's pretty weird with the new system

[@nightknight7748]

@@Mcdoubles Ah yea that sucks a bit more

[@WolfPeace82]

Fist fighting in rpg's are my favorite. Good job man. RamRock, just in case....I think I'm leaving Ascension until I can access COA, I'll be around though

[@cpfuzzy]

I loved Blademaster in Wc3 seeing it in WoW looks fun! hoping to play CoA eventually if I can win or farm it. - Cpfuzzy

[@jesse9638]

I’m sure you know some lore but Nobbel87 is like the VaatiVidya of the wow universe. It’d be sick if you guys could somehow collaborate with him for further ideas.

[@ricardorovilson433]

I guess that's it, no CoA until official launch. Make the go faster my man. Keep doingo the goog work - Ossudo

[@cadneemountai2791]

Love that they have combos, kinda reminds me of Age of Conan bear shaman

[@theredlie1988]

This looks fun but I definitely think the design is still somewhat backwards. Wouldn't it make more sense for Blademaster Strike to be instant and for the breakers to have a cast time (obviously excluding Blade Tempest)? The affected breakers should also have their damage tuned to be more impactful. It just feels weird to be stoked to get a 2min CD that makes the class play the way it should from the jump, you know? Either way, great work on the video and thanks for the showcase :)

[@GoodCookiesUnite]

I only wanted to play monk in CoA and it felt horrible on the old system. I think I’ll try it again with this.

[@nonstopjoliver]

Should that Blademaster Strike have a 10 yard range?

[@RotivOsnofa]

this monk mechanics looks like the ragnarok online monk.

[@darins21]

I believe that the bloat caused by on-use talents in the talent trees is excessively high. In my opinion, a more effective approach would be to limit the total number of such talents to six, between both the specialization tree and the class tree. To maintain simplicity and streamline the system, a majority of talents should be passive buffs or abilities that enhance existing skills.

[@JediFrog]

3:40 So, it's FFXIV combat XD Every class has use x ability to use y ability to use z ability

[@Frankthegb]

I really hope they import Retail monk animations for sweeping kick at least

[@MohamedMagdy-hw1op]

Great vids dude just allow me to ask a dump question 😂 how do can u move ur action bars casue am brand new to the game and I made an option key setup but didn't work on action bars how is that

[@DilanPandemic]

hope we get witch hunter next video. they are so busted in the 10-19 bracket lol

[@Usernameisnotvalid]

Great videos and continued coverage! Would love to win -Tinycold

[@RaiderDave42069]

how am supposed to pick a main when there are so many cool classes?!

[@johannes4046]

Perhaps the monk should be allowed to dual-wield fist weapon - Paroxycm

[@milosdimitrijevic788]

McD since you are a coa dev now are they gonna add class quests for the 21 classes? - Earh

[@Mcdoubles]

Yes I believe so

[@milosdimitrijevic788]

@@Mcdoubles sweet

[@nucion6421]

I really like de fighting monk flavor, but they rly need to get some of the retail wow animations for the abilities (specially sweeping kick)

[@nullkomplex]

Blademaster was my favorite Warcraft 3 hero, and Grom my favorite character in the WC3 story (even though apparently he's a warrior now?). Haven't been entering the giveaways because I already have CoA but now that you're out I'm hoping to win something else (I'd even take EXP aura/pots on CoA since leveling without them is soooooo slow). IGN Venaru on Archimonde/Area 52 and Mavros on Thrall. Or Xyfos on Rexxar.

[@jesusmloralopez1970]

In lore, he is a warrior warchief. But in warcraft 3 there is no warrior hero class for the horde so instead blizz placed it as a blademaster

[@sciencethygod]

fighting monk seems so cool, kinda reminds me mpriest monk from dfo where you flow into abilities if that makes any sense.

[@poobey4042]

For pray I think it'd be cool if It didn't heal but instead was a dispel that if you successfully dispelled your target they gain a heal or sprint. Make it more skill based. Keep the CD on it

[@zehulk12]

I wish you go a little bit deeper with the tank spec. At least show some key talent point. Thx for the work. Cheers from France !

[@rayanrayan7742]

JHONNNYYYYY

[@Daravenc]

Looks cool but for the right flavor windwalk really needs a running/sprinting and not a crouched stealth animation 😜

[@AldentePrime]

So no dual wield. Sounds disappointing to me. I'm just looking for a class/spec that looks like frost dk in WOTLK. To be honest, most of the previous CoA classes that I've seen in these videos look a bit over complicated, too many different and unique stuff, abilities, talents etc. I'm not a noob in WoW, but imho some classes have too many strange abilities or mechanics that won't be really friendly to new players. But still I'm waiting for CoA release more than any other WoW projects, gonna check the classes by myself, maybe there will be few easy or even stupid "one button" specs that are fun to play (yeah melee only, casters are boring for me xD).

[@Arkky123]

Bring engraves to 45s, this change to 3min knee caps unarmed fighting monks.

[@MalicSoulstorm]

So kindof like the Swordmaster from Warhammer Online?

[@jasonsaez3668]

Blademaster really takes me back to WC3 days!!! Love the sets so far! IGN: Frostheim

[@Bitterman5868]

They need to bring a War 3 paladin style PReset as all other heroes, also Ascewnsion should be ready to rip the Warden armor off the DF store.

[@the_gardrick]

Nice (c)Gardrick

[@starkite123]

Is there any plans on adding a mirror image spell to blademaster?

[@Mcdoubles]

yes its already in the game but its a 50-60 talent that i cant pick yet

[@mythikos3535]

They got rid of this?!

[@potatopotato1353]

I've played monk on retail, but seeing this... It is a way better, even basic abilities. Wants me to try anew even normal ascesion realm. Eh if they only could add SL customizations for chars.

[@jesusmloralopez1970]

Because the monk class of retail it's a shitty mix of pandaren lore. The real monks of warcraft are this (just look some mobs of old scarlet crusade dungeons). The only sense in retail it's the tank spec brewmaster (hero playable on warcraft 3)

[@utlord]

a melee class with out a snare and distance gap is a joke. Every class needs a snare a distance gap otherwise you are useless.

[@lullalalla8891]

Blademaster is not my type of class sadly. I prefer the Healer/Hybrid ones. -Lewis

[@SThormy]

combo breaker? y not combo finisher? breaker is more of something that cancels the combo chain

[@v4ld4s89]

hope I get to play if there is another giveaway - Voldemart

[@eeflycan]

They should let monks use fist weapons :D

[@ChillandQuill]

what level does blade master get a follow up? cause last iteration you literally couldnt play them until you got a follow up cause they cant use the "fighting skills"

[@Mcdoubles]

I had it changed so you get Blademaster strike at 11 and a chain to use it with next, you can also use sweeping kick for the first level after you get BMS

[@ChillandQuill]

@@Mcdoubles so you cant use blademaster when you hit 10 and get your spec? also i noticed you still get chastise at lv 2 which means you have to use jab to level 3 so chastise is completely useless for that level 2 =/

[@fitnerdy90]

I deleted mine when they got rid of chakram 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@Dew389]

Why is blademaster deleted from coa?

[@aaronash8571]

when COA will be released?

[@frederickkriesel2724]

So yall made the Monk from FF14.

i am glad i was not the only one who saw that!

Oh thank God, they removed the 8 second CD from Sweeping Kick. >.> I might have to try monk again.

didnt forget, decisions had to happen

[@tharran7627]

What's a baka?

[@sain223]

IDK what you're talking about at 37:04 it comes to wind walk it doesn't need to be a improved stealth. The WC3 Blade master's wind walk wasn't a stealth ability. It was a evasion ability that made the Blade Master harder to hit like the rogues evasion.

[@Mcdoubles]

no thats not true, it was literally a stealth ability lol

[@sain223]

@@Mcdoubles Yeah you're right my bad but still it should be an evasion ability instead. Personally I think that is more important then a stealth for the survival of the Blade master.

[@Gangstatownz]

You don't need to reply to this but man was Season 8, and the league such a dud. Looking very forward to CoA focus. bring back felforged mode...

only thing monks missing is self healing tbh

[@rarristar]

Seems less like Monastery and more like D&D. Better spec names could be Brawler, Order, and Mastery. (Or keep Blademaster) I generally prefer more generic design to allow players to make their own identity. Not a fan of the no weapons spec, would be better if it was just for stats like WoW Monk. - Oak

[@soulreaper8883]

I wana set up a WA that plays "Taste mah Blade" audio clip when I spin or something xD. Loving the strong theme here man. Might be worth delving deeper into the healer or add some nuance to the spec. Blade master is on point from what I can see, as well as the combat one. But heal monk looked like it wasnt living up to it's thematic identity really. I'd love to try and make a chest piece for the blade master that has those beeds, would the CoA devs ever want to, or even be able to, make a community work shop like warframe has where we can make consept skins that can be implemented into the game based off of votes but with a strong emphesis on wow theme to try and keep the troll designs out of the game. I think that would be absolutely sick for the comunity if its even a possibilty. Coding isn't exactly easy. I gave up on that stuff a long time ago. Loving the vids man and hope ur enjoying the Dev sruff with the team! Also your name backwards got me hahaha

[@sarcastalot]

I honestly think that if you're going more orc blademaster, having an ability named after a titan isnt the best maybe Kargaths Claw or move it into the monk side, if you're going for a titan worshiper. But I love the vids as always!
