Back when the pally taunt did damage, me and a friend could keep a mob walking back and forth between us, never hitting us until death. I don'T see it as over powered but was a lot of fun.

[@pandosham]

It would trivialize bosses

[@deployed246]

@@pandosham Bosses have (almost) always had diminishing returns in order to prevent this. Believe taunt DR was even nerfed in WotLK. I don't know when taunt DR was actually added though, just remember it being a thing during Wrath and our tanks talking about how they could taunt switch more frequently in ICC.

[@NevanSlone]

I had an Exorcism/pally taunt macro for pulling mobs lol they get to me at like 50% hp

[@arforafro5523]

It was really good for PvP, most tank classes knew taunt would put a target in combat but pally taunt could actually deal damage and break spells or effects on a 40 yd range, It wasn't exactly amazing but a 40yd range, short CD, instant damage spell isnt something melee classes have widely available.

[@aaabccc]

You could kill shaman totems in PVP with the paladin taunt too. It was SO useful.

And I'm quite sure that in TBC it replaced original counterspell (6 or 8 seconds long, not sure) with only 4 seconds silence. It was complete raplecement not added bonus on top of base CS.

[@Rpground]

Ok, the Reck bomb thing I knew for years and it one of my favorite "broken" things. But I didn't know that the dude's weapon broke instantly and he had to equip a new one just to finish the rest of the attacks. That's hilarious!

[@Storyfrombolvar]

You know that you gave it all in when your weapon BREAKES during battle. Man, I've never seen any of my weapon breaking...

[@heinrichklassen5988]

Mage counterspell was in since a vanilla patch, fan of knives didn't give combo point in wotlk

[@BurakkuHishou]

I would like to contribute Protection Warriors during the first patch of Legion. It all came down to a single talent called "Vengeance." Vengeance caused a bouncing effect for protection warriors where using Ignore Pain would reduce the rage cost of Heroic Strike, and if you used Heroic Strike it would reduce the rage cost of Ignore Pain. The thing was this bouncing effect in it's initial stage, dropped both abilities basically to only costing 5 rage, alongside with the warrior having a permanent bubble, not even mentioning ANY of their other defensive cooldowns. Combine this with the other talent that replaces Victory Rush with one that's on a 35 second cooldown. The warrior could pull an entire zone and not fear dying.

[@Serelor]

For Shadow of Death, one little unknown quirk with the talent was that if you were in an instance and you came back as a ghoul and ran through the instance portal, you'd no longer be a ghoul once you zoned out. This meant instead of taking a corpse run, depending on the instance and how far in you were it was more useful to run out and back in.

[@DevastatorIIC]

I'm shocked WotLK's Ardent Defender didn't show up here. "Damage that takes you below 35% health is reduced by 20%. In addition, attacks which would otherwise kill you cause you to be healed by up to 30% of your maximum health (amount healed based on defense). This healing effect cannot occur more often than once every 2 min." It was Warrior's Last Stand, but passive. I was a pally tank and even I thought it was OP. Didn't stop me from talenting into it.

[@BigestJB]

i was expecting to see mop second wind from warrior

[@Pushoffacl1ff]

Was looking for this comment immediately. Warriors were so stupid broken with second wind. All they had to do was stack stamina and they couldn't die.

[@Alex-nr4xb]

Vanilla Enrage (40%) and MoP Second Wind yeah.

[@DsiakMondala]

Bruh I was Prot warrior backthem, it was right around the time they removed that PvP defense status so I could resist player damage with my raid gear. Absolute wall, most classes couldn't down me if I did nothing. Also did dungeons with 4 DPS.

[@125conman]

I'm guessing it was only in PVP.

[@YellowFraggle]

I'm so confused. I came from my yugioh content and was like "I recognise this voice!?"

[@seankrkovich2869]

Yeah.

[@UstraMage]

I remember Mace Rogues in Arenas were just crazy, as a mage they could crush me in seconds and I had no way to fight back

[@kopilatis05]

About the TBC mace stuns, let's not forget that Windfury totem was a thing back then and it was a stunfest. :D

[@Vidar93]

The thing you forgot to mention with the rouge mace thing was that hemo was also the only generator aside from sinister strike that didn't require a dagger. At the time hemos damage was scaled with dagger weapon danage in mins so mace hemos were hitting super hard as well as having the stun chance I still remember how busted rogue mage was for 2's and PMR was in 3's back then.

[@Tuskor130]

I never knew the original Reckbomb guy's weapon broke mid-fight, that's as hilarious of a mental image as it is fascinating to think about how gear duravility works.

Small error. When gag order was in the game, melee interrupts were a 15 sec cd like it is now, not 10. Cata was 10 seconds, changed in MoP which just happened to be the Gag Order expansion. MoP was truly an insane expansion.

[@xalian17]

So glad he finally addressed AR/Prep or HARP rogues from tbc. The mace stun rogues where possibly the strongest spec I’ve seen in the history of wow

[@Kenji-117]

I remember doing a World rank 4 Log on the 2nd boss in Ny'alotha in a 30-man-Tank-only raid with full Twilight devastation and stamina gear in BFA. All the tanks ran that azerite trait that granted more stamina for every member in the party/raid with the same essence. so every tank received a buff for all the other 29 Tanks and the HP pools and total damage of everyone was insane and fun as hell!

The Storm Herald / Mace Stun carried me in greens to free arena wins back in the day. I remember in an arena match vs a friend he got so salty when he juked my interrupt just to get locked down by stun procs

[@justinanderson2631]

I remember kil'jaedens cunning. I miss those passives. Got me into the lore too

[@andrewmcmurphy1090]

+5 Weapon skill in vanilla and classic WoW. Using the corrisponding weapon effectively received a 3% hit bonus and reduced glancing blows by half. As a passive for humans for maces and swords and orc for axes, this generated a huge tank threat bonus and dps output bonus. Other melee classes would have to gear or talent into bonus, and with the exception of Rogues' Mace Specialization there was no other way to get + weapon skill for maces. This lead to a mace prioritization for humans in alliance raids. Orc had to wait until Blackwing Lair to find a raid level one handed axe to weild.

[@stayn2793]

I stopped playing WoW cuz of work long time ago,but i still watch all your vids. Keep It Up Bro, thank you and have an awesome day! Peace!

[@scwor326]

the FoK interrupt was around for the Trial of the Crusade raid. Faction champs, I was spec for that and it was so op on the faction champs fight. I would get bubble and heals while spamming the knives on all of the faction champs, while the rest of the raid mowed down a target one by one. Just poisoned them with crippling or mind numbing to slow the down, movement and casting.

[@LesbianWitchAcademia]

I remember towards the end of BFA, my friend Ethan was able to get an absolutely ridiculous amount of health in his full stamina (just highest ilvl) gear, pop Vengeance Meta, and get a twilight devastation to do over 15 million damage.

[@zoldam3778]

That prot paladin cheat death ability in Wrath was pretty strong. Won tons of PvP fights thanks to that.

[@blairdurward4324]

No mention of the vengeance passive in cata? I remember tanks in cata doing almost twice the damage of dps classes with this ability,

[@shadowviruz]

I remember when Ghostcrawler buffed destro locks damage by applying Fire and Brimstone to Conflag, Chaosbolt, and Immolate. The spells ended up double dipping the talent because Conflag and Chaosbolt did more damage based off of Immolate. For a couple of weeks during the start of Ulduar destro locks were killing everybody in a GCD.

[@frightranker]

Also assassination rogues at the very start of TOC (it lasted maybe a day). The spec had been rebalanced, and something was...off. I probably shouldn't have been doing about 23% of a 25 man raid's total dps on Onyxia...

[@Tygram17]

[@maxw5750]

[@EquanoxDragon]

Nice video :)

[@Bonolovesme]

You missed a good one: Touched by the Light talent for prot pal in WotLK. For a while, it gave SP per Stamina points (it was later changed to give SP per Strenght). A lot of people specced Prot (and the rest in Holy) with plate healing gear and became absolute wall while healing very decently. Was meta in PvP while it lasted.

[@krakaneti]

21/50/0 was pretty common before 3.2, it was insane. You got so much passive mitigation, 1 min off Divine Shield cooldown, 30 seconds off the Hammer of Justice cooldown, a 30 second cooldown silence and daze in Avenger's Shield, a bunch of stamina(which only meant more spell power), cheat death every 2 minutes through Ardent Defender and tons of free mana against melee with Holy Shield and Redoubt combined with Blessing of Sanctuary. And I think there was also a talent, which increased critical healing by a lot while you had Sacred Shield on. All of that on top of Hand of Sacrifice and Divine Guardian and the usual high paladin armour, utility and survivability. It was too good a trade off not to take and of course, had to be nerfed. But it was fun while it lasted.

[@beerbearian]

I know it wasn't on the list, but hearing Silencing Shot mentioned threw me back to my days playing a mainly pvp Hunter.

[@cyclopsboi]

the mace spec rogue was wild back in the day you could do hard cc lock for minutes at a time with those random procs.

[@Shaderox]

I didn't play much during MoP, only dropping in a bit on the end but i really remember the Kil'jaedens Cunning as pretty, as unlike Cataclysm where (my way) of playing destor had been to use pretty much the entire spellbooks as well as item interactions for a total of like 25 buttons to press constantly.... returning to MoP was pretty much only "cast Immolate & chaos bolt then spam Incinerate until either the key or your finger gives up", so being able to move while casting the 1 spell you were almost constancy casting seemed like a very nice talent, and it was. really missed it when it got removed and i had to stand still like all the other casters... except the shamans, i would curse them! but i'm not sure if we still got any curses.

[@lorenzouchoadriedgolf4733]

I remember Dematerialize would proc on warrior's charge, so warriors would charge me, stun me for like 0,75s and I would get a 2s invulnerability buff, since it was close to charge's cooldown also, warriors would straight up not charge me if they knew what they were doing since it would proc every in charge Fun times

[@Cheddarjrr]

FYI: Improved CS has been in the game since classic. And you could skill it with Deep Frost since TBC.

[@zepp1337]

Warrior's old Second Wind was pretty OP in arenas back in the day :)

[@EquanoxDragon]

So fun little tidbit about the Twilight devastation ability.... in our raid, we had a warrior and druid tank, our druid tank had some of the best gear she could have for our progression as well as max twilight devastation on all her gear.... and having so much HP as a bear, she was often sitting at 3rd or 4th sometimes first place for damage, and a lot of the times when a tank swap had to happen, she would not be allowed to even attack the boss because just normal attacking did so much damage and generated so much threat that she would pull aggro off the warrior with the warrior having no way to hold up against how stupidly strong her threat generation was.... It was kinda funny hearing him say to her "no get away from the boss, stop hitting it! Go help with adds!" Because he couldn't keep threat off her. Also the druid was the mother of the warrior tank so that was even more funny.

[@jotarokujo8236]

[@kennethfeld6639]

Surprised 5% leader of the pack didn't make the list - that was stupid OP

[@frightranker]

I'd love to know what it was, but right after the Onyxia fight was re-released in Wrath, Assassination Rogues got a rebalance and something went badly wrong (or right, if you played one!). I was doing about 25-35% more than the next highest dps, depending on the fight. If I remember, it was rebalanced again the next day.

[@monkeyincc3145]

[@felixs2605]

Woltk explosive Shot Stun New Talent - [T.N.T.] (Survival): Your Immolation Trap, Explosive Trap and Explosive Shot have a 5/10/15% to stun targets for 2 sec when they deal damage, and increases the critical strike chance of your Explosive Shot and Explosive Trap by 5/10/15%.

[@ekscalybur]

Sword Specialization was broken in Vanilla. Because it's proc rate was just like mace specialization, the slower the weapon, the higher the proc chance. What made it broken was that it proc'd off everything, even itself. So a warrior with all their instant attacks isn't really swinging just once every 3.6 seconds, but the proc calculator was working as if they did. So there were instances that weren't all that rare where the warrior would Mortal Strike crit you, and 2 or 3 Sword Spec procs happened, that also crit, that were immediately followed by an auto-attack that also sword spec proc'd. You're just about dead, he has a full rage bar from all that damage, and Execute is glowing bright on his action bar. Way back in the day, I kept a screenshot of the combat log that showed me effectively 2 shotting a fully geared rogue because an auto-attack and Mortal Strike combined for 7 sword spec procs. 9 attacks in the span of one GCD from a 'slow' weapon. I think I said wtf as much as he did.

[@tex1337]

I think it was in BFA, at the start, where we had a trail for hunter that increased our main pets dmg by a flat among, depending how many pets you had out, it was deemed a worthless skill from icy-veins or so. However, as a player with tons of toys, i tent to macro a few toys into my "iwin" (just to make them more fun to use), and somehow, i had a azeroth piece with this trail on. Long story short, there was a toy (from archeology) that spawned 20 "pets" (Scarab something), ofc, been a toy, those pet didnt do anything, but, those scarabs where still counting as pets somehow. So, when i was in a boss battle, i (as always) pop all my CD (and tho, use tons of toys, inclusing this scarab toy) and my pet gained insane among of dmg and the boss died within 5-10 sec. It took me some time to figure out why my pet (each 10 min) gained a lot of dmg, at first, i was sure it was just my proc and buffs used together that gained this dmg, but, at some point, it hitted me, what if the scarab toys 20 pet, really do count towards this trail, but, that means its kinda broken, since i then suddenly can gain XXXdmg times 20, just cuz of this toy. But hey, it was fun while it lasted, almost having a 10 min pew pew CD for fun :p I did ofc report this "bug" to blizzard, tho, i didnt see any patch note whatsoever about this, but, i know they did nerf it (that, and that they later just removed the passive skills) XD. (happen before season 1 started in BFA). So, in my book, this is a small hidden "passive?" buff we hunter had.

[@ems6706]

I've never really understood the strategies of pvp. Do you remember any of the old metas of wow pvp? I never really played a lot of pvp and I think you could definitely make some videos based on it and I'd watch.

[@samuelrhoads6178]

there was one boss that was impossible due to the MC mechanics it had, basically required one person to have the skip unlocked, and N'Zoth himself was a pita because the downstairs add would get kited in all the wrong directions usually, but other than that the 30 tank (or the dumb 29 tank plus a lock) runs were hilarious and fun af, remember they only really wanted a lock for crack rocks/summoning in new ppl so i would b the guy swapping back n forth between my lock n tank just to keep summons rolling and candy for e1 while still getting the sstam buff from a 30th tank. and lets also not forget the pre nerf azerite essence where the 3% stam buff was multiplicative b4 it got nerfed to additive due to ppl doing the 30 tank runs.

There was a moment at the end of 6.x (or was it 5.x?) when multistrike was somehow Reckoning size broken for rogues. And my favourite all time nerf is ofc: Dig rat. It was possible to pick up, drop, and shadowstep. The day after a rogue spent 4 hours soloing Patchwerk with the help of it they immediately nerfed it so you couldn't shadowstep it any longer (coz rogues can't have nice things when they get creative).

I always felt that the CC's in MoP were awesome and instead of eliminating them, Blizz should have given diminishing returns if you use them too often (resets after x amount of time) and given everyone else a limited immunity if they get chained (resets after x amount of time). Does that make any sense? Blizz could have taken this approach for a lot of OP things and left the fun in the game.

Hey guys ear here. Improved Counterspell was an arcane talent in vanilla which let mages silence for 4 seconds. Throwing Weapon Specialization was an early vanilla Rogue talent that gave Rogues extra range on their thrown weapons. Shitty, but it was in vanilla before it was in Wrath.

Really need to know the battle text addon at around 11:40, not talking about miks

Maybe my memory is a bit fuzzy but I think you had to be a blacksmith that specialized in weaponsmithing, that further specialized in maces in order to get the Stormherald.

I think a very ignored OP passive was one Holy Priests had in BC. Once you were hit by a crit you couldn't be hit by another one for 6 seconds. This didn't even have a cooldown so you basically could only be crit once every six seconds. It even took priority over guaranteed crits, it just wasn't picked because it was basically at the very bottom of the holy tree and nothing else that far down was really worth it.
