Hey y

[@Rizzu_]

Sup Swifty! Cadia's still kicking but we left Darkspear to Lightninghoof back in 2005(6?), following one more transfer to Sargeras at the start of BFA. It's amazing to see how much things took off for you!! Great job man, keep it up and stay awesome. - Your friends from Cadia

[@Max-ej4oh]

Fission had five buttons on his spell bar. Four of them were Polymorph.

[@beyOndzZz]

he was really confused by the skull of impending doom.

[@LiMiNaL724]

@Swifty just so you know I have Takuu and Connact on Bnet. They are still around and will be playing classic. By the way it's Mightyboof the 60 warrior :)

[@Andrew-vt2wq]

cya in game bro!

[@stevem6988]

Dude I was in the same guild as Connact back in vanilla, Remnant Darkspear. Ask him if he remembers an Undead lock named Deadseason, also tell him if he remembers Ironkilt because I still talk to him as well.

[@markyochoa]

Any update on whether Takuu or Connact are actively playing?

[@johnsju]

*Editor's Note:* Had to make a lot of cuts in this because of music. Hope you guys understand! The full VOD can be found on Twitch still.

[@bleidd6743]

Swifty is 2h fury the best for leveling and raiding ?

[@Wackedgaming]

How to make you hands glow. Use a scroll (think it was spirit) while its casting you switch stance and it will stay. Tho this was hot fixed due to your video.

[@justine8398]

Swifty Man the copyright bs on KZbin has gotten out of control. Back in the day you used to be able to use any music you wanted but nowadays everyone is money hungry to slap a claim on your video even when they don’t need the money...... so sad 😞.

[@Vytil]

we need a link to the twitch VOD!!!

[@madara2051]

Must have*

[@devoke6815]

Madara you can use either xD

[@davidmarks509]

He/She had there reasons. I do understand as I love to see two very good players battle. I wonder what the out come would of been if Swifty didn't have that skull. I still think he would of won, as he is so crazy good.

[@rumers100]

@@davidmarks509 Skilled players in vanilla used all advantages they've got.

[@zacharybryant3865]

Even more so because frost mages back in vanilla rarely lost to warriors. Even the average frost mage performed fairly well against a warrior 1v1. So the fact Swifty had skull and knew how to utilize his toolkit so well... props to him for real.

[@bonkers2544]

Wow streamers owe so much to you. You are the OG of OG's. Thank you!

[@dasbroisku]

i love it how you're still around and exited about classic! Hope to see you on the same server when classic launches!

[@snog4rd99]

That’s why you’re awesome Swifty.because you are one of those people that actually listened to constructive criticism and responded to it with a video . Respect bro long time fan here .

[@bfitnessjoe]

Swifty sup man ! It’s me Rothrock -Darkspear server mistweaver. Ragusalsa’s pocket healer. We were undefeated in ALL of our arena matches ! I am so pumped and ready for classic and cannot wait to see you as the #1 spot warrior again people just don’t know how you shut em down bro !!! I will be coming back to play classic as well and I knew you would cover the subject matter very well ! Hope you start an elite guild of classic players I will definitely apply. No -dkp for me though please.

[@watchthe1369]

I think the title should be "How modern WoW atrophied my brain!"

[@franchised1]

So glad to see Swifty in classic wow, such a weird thought considering how long its been. Got nothing but love for you Swifty and for what you did for the game back then. loved watching those old school pvp videos back then and still love watching them now.

[@docdeuz]

You changed my life with your pvp videos Swifty. Was so fun to hang out in Disc with you two days ago. Thanks to Teagan again. Cant wait for Classic now...

[@kwicksandz]

Its great to see you still in the wow community. you probably don't remember me but i played a human warlock on darkspear icurseyou, and i ran in your pvp group several times back in the day. i didnt remember you being in cadia, they where the top guild for a long time i always remember you from infamous.

[@Chisgule]

This is such an awesome throwback. Thanks for making this video!

[@thedevolis]

i usually dont like reaction videos but i really loved this one! seeing how excited you got about classic fills my heart with the righ amount of nostalgy!

[@Silenced_by_nazi_youtube]

Rofl you can tell Classic is hitting him hard in the feels. I wish I had made videos during classic so that I could re-live some of the memories I had.

[@andresk8s_]

I can already tell this is a good video

[@zaldare]

This is so cool to see u commenting your old vids. You were a fkn beast back in the day!!

[@Fudgedunker]

'if you get this sword then I recommend going sword spec' That's 15 years of experience right there

[@marktheshark1918]

Despite my disdain for Alliance, I was always a big fan of yours. I played as Kinjospyke, Troll Shaman, on Darkspear. Ran into you few times in world PVP XD Glad to see you still puttin out content. Darkspear represent!

Ufff... Man this video... can you imagine what feelings swing with it. Back in the days I saw "Incredible Warrior Tricks". That was totaly mind blowing and the video you made about - how to get a better connection to wow servers by editing in you registry... man ... I subscribed back in this days and you are one of a few i never sorted out even after having a break from WoW. Thank you so much for your videos back then and until now

[@flamechicken415]

swifty is an OG i remember these days, good times

[@BSimone95]

This is really cool, especially how by looking at pieces of the video you still remember little details like the guy screaming in voice comms. I wish I had video of my first times with WoW as well although it was a bit later :)

TY!!

[@MrRobschnieder]

I love watching you watch your older content. When i first started playing at the end of TBC i was terrible at the game, but your tutorial videos of WoTLK helped me so much. But i really wonder how rank 14 is gonna work on classic. Back then i imagine it was easier to get due to the lack of players at your skill level. But these days players overall are just better and now most of us older players are older we arent going to have the time to grind BG's for 10-14 hours a day.

[@kwicksandz]

even back then you had to no life it, its just that people will know the right specs and counters etc. im interested to relive my misspent youth haha

[@jeffersonpradobarros2161]

LOL -- The relearning Stance Dancing at the end of the vid FTW.

[@Atari_Safari]

Takuu, Connact and Heinous were all legit very good players. I'm OG Darkspear too, you and Heinous vids really got me into pvp. I dueled a lot of the top people in BC, collecting clips with Heinous offering advice on editing and rogue stuff as I was one also. HDD got corrupted and it never happened. Still love these old vids. DS nostalgia is real.

[@ozijak]

That was super cool man. I'm so stoked you're still playing all these years on and you're still such an awesome dude, so whole some and your enthusiasm for this game years on is still here haha. Super keen for Classic and your remake of this xD

TAKUU IS COMING BACK TOO?! i watch his old pvp video a few times a year because the editing and music is so good. he was a mage tho in the movie i have

[@veppy4952]

It's so awesome seeing swifty actually know whats happening in these old videos, in retail he seems so clueless at times but this makes him the god he once was.

[@Linus8472]

Could not get the smile off my face when you started rockin Pistolero by Juno Reactor for this vid! Hats off to you, buddy!! 😎😎

[@NikolayNikoloff]

Dude those videos were so epic and still they are! I remember watching those videos not just so I can learn, but for entertainment! *Nostalgia intensifies*

[@indyhassoul]

Haven't played in forever, but I was in Hammered (horde) Darkspear. Was crazy seeing Connact mentioned. I remember Rahja always talking about you. ~Apogee (resto shaman) from Hammered back in the day.

[@OGDeafz]

So much fun to watch these again. Nobody could've torn the giant grin from my face if they tried. I cant wait to play classic.

[@AnteriorEE]

Lots of love to you man, whatever people say you are the grand tinkerer of warriors and a legend at this game

[@sixeswow]

That warrior tricks video is why I made a warrior back in classic.

[@Griffzy]

"Go swordspec(Arms MS) with Obsidian Edged Blade and you will be top of the damage meter trust me" Lol

[@ryanmcd94]

Nostalgia... I used to PvP with a warrior in vanilla/tbc... always watched your videos man! ME GUSTA

[@ryanbesco8067]

One of the first Warcraft videos I ever saw Swifty, love you... I still feel like I’m dreaming that Classic is being re released

[@nikolaiownz]

I ranked up to 12 as 2 hander fury with the untaimed blade. The AP buffs stacked and was crazy back in vanilla

[@radpem]

Oh man, that insane! Thank you for all yr videos!

[@Dezomm]

Your videos always had the best music. Huge respect for you

[@imnackeredsirnackered948]

I remember seeing these fights back in 2005-2007 but never knew they were swifty lol.

[@TSIXGaming]

swift you may be the only player still alive with 2004 footage. if you got a 2004 dungeon can you make a video to document creature hp and damage between classic and 2004. i understand the nuance of releasing with the 2006 patch the good and the bad but their are measures still to ensure classic will be as authentic as possible like 2006 gear and bosses are not available at launch if we got 2006 catchup creature hp and damage that should not be at launch either

[@Tyzen7]

LMAO Swifty bullying random people helping their friends

[@TesGon]

I watched all this back then and played that as well. Jesus Christ it’s going to be good when we come back .

[@DresenDK]

It's still frowned upon to use buffs and pots in duels swifty.

[@Cro1232cro]

youd be surprised at how commonplace it is

[@spartaxjp5073]

you reply by saying 'You did not PREPARE!!!'

[@Bullhammer]

He said that he doesn't care anymore

[@Faxy95]

You have a 2h because arms used berserker stance mostly for the charge in combat but you would start in battle stance for the first charge, it's common to see arms in that stance especially slam spec

[@fettifredy]

Swifty I haven’t played wow since tbc. I just wanna let you know you are the reason i rolled warrior (even though im horde). I will be playing classic, I’m so excited thanks for all the memories man.

[@jacobmccloskey171]

That was honestly epic to watch... Just hope it doesn't get copyrighted because of the music. Nice video

[@tahju8983]

What a nice video, Swifty!!! Make another like this until classic wow launches

this was amazing swifty thanks for showing this

[@masakari3990]

OOOO, this video. Brings back so many good memories seeing all those names. I always wondered why you didn't duel chipman for the pally duel? I always felt he was the best pvper on the server but maybe i'm wrong. I was the warlord shaman Masakari and sometimes the mage doomknightt

[@DjDaveVA]

Sup Swifty! Was Horde on Darkspear during Vanilla in the guild Dauntless. Just saying Hi :D

[@LingusZac]

You've had a wild ride Swifty

[@omarali262]

Back when you were actually a #1 player in the game, those were awesome times. I wish you would put in the effort and become an actual top player again like in Vanilla. I watched your stream when you were PvPing in random BGs recently and you were making all sorts of mindless errors and generally getting owned when you weren’t with the bulk of your team and heavily outnumber the Horde, and also a video on KZbin of you doing a 2s with Sodapoppin and he had to hold your hand the entire time. That’s not the Swifty I remember, the one I remember would be the one teaching these other guys how to play not the other way around.

[@dzengisamzoski643]

True and sad

[@DriftNick]

Swifty was never even close to the #1 player, wasn't even the top warrior.

[@omarali262]

@@DriftNick He was several times considered the top warrior in Vanilla WoW for PvP. After Vanilla ended he was quickly replaced.

[@DriftNick]

@@omarali262 Even Swifty will admit he was far from the best warrior, if he truly was the best warrior then you would think in TBC he would have dominated, when they added arena and the game had a good way to measure player skill he dropped off because he wasn't that good. He made fun videos with tricks, he didn't make videos showing off top level play.

[@sampsalol]

Wow man this is gonna be great.

[@richarduxx]

Swifty is a true OG.

[@paulocampino5045]

Swifty, my first char in Vanilla was a Tauren Warrior but back then was boring, slow and quite challenging to solo level a warrior especially for a newb guy in RPGs. I didn't enjoy it and reroll another class. It was your incredible warrior tricks videos of TBC that made me want to play warrior again. The Xandria song is epic. Now i love playing warrior and is my main char for PVP. Keep up man.
