Lol that TipsOut shit got me..

[@jwfcp]

Frost bolt leveling? No, no, no, let me introduce you to my friend- the Wand.

[@Jayshnay]

Dude! This is actually pretty entertaining/funny. Not many vanilla WoW youtubers have a sense of humour.

[@wengeance8962]

True, they always seem to have a sense of salt though

[@finnishfatman]

@je ne suis rien Not a fan of Adam Sandler (too much yelling), but is that supposed to be an insult towards Jacob? I mean, sure, why not insult someone who has different sense of humor, seems only logical :P But if that wasn't trying to be some childish insult, then alrighty, no worries.

[@DefcampMelderonTV]

Was an absolute pleasure being on. Sub to platinum if you haven't. As you can tell, he is one talented fellow!

[@LargelyNonsense_818]

Loved the cameo :)

[@Scottzone]

This class guide series is a complete breath of fresh air from the usual content we see for World of Warcraft. Even though I know half the stuff I'm still excited because of how well you're infusing comedy into your videos. Great job, I can't wait for more from you.

[@wodzimierzabramow1544]

The russian " Vy khotite pichshu ili vodu" from the google translator on the wending machine absolutely killed me

[@SamSam-bg6ok]

You are my favorite vanilla youtuber I love you

[@DrPluton]

Mage was my first and favorite class in WoW. I used to hang out in neutral cities with guards on the PVP server I leveled on. I would cast Detect Magic on Horde priests. They would usually dispel it off of themselves. If I timed it right, I would cast Detect Magic a second time right before the Horde priest would Dispel Magic. This would cause my mage to become their target and lose Arcane Intellect or Dampen Magic. If that happened, the guards would kill the priest. Many laughs were had when this happened.

[@dunkelwelpling]

That sounds like a lot of fun. Can't really decide if I should play a mage or a roque. I guess I would like the mage better gameplay-wise, but I also like funny world pvp, where roques tend to shine.

[@Preacher_.]

@@dunkelwelpling May I suggest both.

[@dunkelwelpling]

@@Preacher_. I played Rogue but it wasn't for me. I like Mage and Paladin the most. But i quitted Classic anyway. I don't want to pay 13€ a month for a lazy implementation of an 15 year old game. Private Servers are better scripted than Classic and are available for free. I play on Warmane - Icecrone which is the most populated private server. If you're not disturbed by the fact that you can pay money for good gear, you should give it a try as well.

[@Preacher_.]

@@dunkelwelpling I actually played on Ascension WoW (NOT blizzlike) for a while before Classic released. I don't mind the $15 a month for what I'm able to get out of Classic. From my experience, private server players were hardcore minmaxers, and while that still happens in classic, especially on the main Servers (Herod, Faerlina, ect), I noticed it's much more similar to my retail vanilla experience in terms of people's skill level. On Bigglesworth Horde I actually feel like an above average player, where as on Ascension(a different, accelerated version of WoW that was built for min maxing) I struggled to even keep up with the meta. As far as playing old games I can't really complain. My current lineup of games I play are AoE2 DE, OSRS, and WoW Classic.

[@dunkelwelpling]

@@Preacher_. The sub you pay for OSRS is what i'd be ready to pay for Classic. And even then i would have a bad aftertaste, because i don't think Blizzard has earned it. Maybe when TBC will come out, Blizzard will provide different subs that are cheaper if you only pick one game. I have zero interest in Retail. I heard a lot of good things about OSRS and i don't mind the graphics but the Gameplay looks so boring. Can you explain how this keeps up your interest? I'm gonna buy AoE2 too when i'm finished with StarCraft II.

[@Zrangokangao]

I never comment on youtube videos, but the production quality and attention to detail in your videos is superb!

[@thatdudeharrison8703]

I don’t know why but I died laughing when the gnome said wow! At the fire spec two moves lmao

[@mattieonutube273]

"Dozens upon dozens of abilities in their toolkit". Almost exclusively spams frostbolt for raiding.

[@fredriksvard2603]

Vaulkor raiding might just aswell be an npc handing out gear weekly though

[@Preacher_.]

That's pretty much every dps class my dude. Mages have a ridiculous toolkit when it comes to pvp.

[@joshuaroe1402]

Their is more to the game than raiding though, and like others said, most classes raising rotations are pretty boring while raiding in Classic.

[@Preacher_.]

@Username OoOoh, using Whirlwind and Bloodthirst as they come off CD with OP(-50) & HS(+50) fillers. How intricate and complex!?! 🙃 Man oh man, if that wasn't enough you guys have to spam execute durring the execute phase!?!?! You must have to be a Master Tactician to figure that one out! ....... Our PvE isn't complicated my dude... There's some skill when it comes to survivability and mitigating raid wiping fuck ups, but that's not intrinsic to any class.

[@z_y.o.u]

The intro felt like old school machinima, the tips part killed me. Sweet video dude.

[@Cozmoz79]

When he got to the part with spamming frostbolts with Guitar Hero meme I lost it haha. Amazing fun and good video. Yeah I know this vid is about 5 months old but still +1 :D

[@highfighter22]

YEEES!

[@markskachkov8516]

Dude, you make such a amazing content. Why the hell do you have only ~3k subs? Well you'll surely get +1 from me ❤️

[@KrotharSmash]

The Frostbolt spam reminded me of that Resto Druid PvP video that was all just Moonfire. 10/10

[@Pneuma6969]

but well its the reality since frostmage literally has one dmg spell 😂

[@Didi_Meow_Records]

Yeah started in vanilla ....rolled a mage....then got to lvl 10 time to decide a spec. I chose fire mage.....i stated to really like my fire mage. Some people have suggested you should be frost. I was like nope i like this fire mage... Got to lvl 60 and my guildies said _grats! Now go switch to Frost..._ I'm like but i like fire mage. _Yeah but you utterly useless in endgame_ I felt so cheated... i flipped off the GM and /gquit started a PVP guild. Just returned to WoW since leaving during Legion I am glad my fire mage is no longer squishy...

[@Kivrus]

Omg I laughed too hard!! Thanks for the Russian voice xD

[@TheGarfield1337]

I lost it when Jimmy got ganked outside 😂

[@FasFas160]

It's honestly so easy to see that you put a lot of effort and love into these videos. Keep up the amazing job, it doesn't go unnoticed.

[@Thatguy91919]

He spelt competition “compition” lol

[@CP-wv2qs]

You're a legend Platinum, also loved your interview with Kargoz and Defcamp! Will you be streaming upon release by any chance?

[@masterjaro]

Oh boy! Who else can't wait to get their hands on the disgusting blood vine set?

[@brr9249]

I leveled a rogue to 20 and then a mage to 35 on Light's Hope. I am really excited to main a mage in classic!

[@Mrposton101]

You're going to make it big on KZbin if you keep this up 👌 actually funny and informative.

[@Lufee93]

[@bushpilot223]

"KITTING ABILLTIES"

[@Taintedmind]

Mages blow in Naxx40 when the AoE DOTs do more than your max Health, so watch out for that - I didn't enjoy those times even though I was in the top content for the game; constantly hopin Ice Block was off CD, so I could survive a Trash Mob pull was only but so fun.. lol Mages have high survivability due to Ice Block, Mana Shield, Frost Shield, Cold Snap, Cone of Cold, Frost Nova, Frost Bolt and Blink. So they do nice damage, along w/bein able to survive big fights in PvE and PvP. They also bring Portals to the table for extra money, if you charge. I only had issues w/highly geared Warlocks pre-BC, since they're the anti-Caster Casters w/pets that can Spell Lock and/or Seduce you, while they spam DOTs and regular casts. It's difficult to burn through their large Health pool, while also losin all of your Buffs, Seduced, Spell Locked and/or gettin Feared. If they're not highly geared, then just Counterspell their Shadowbolt and win.

[@VladtheWild]

There is only 1 mage. The fire mage.

[@The80sWolf_]

How about this elemental mage build? classic.wowhead.com/talent-calc/mage/-50023201-05150203112351351

[@Taintedmind]

Preense of Mind + Arcane Power + Talisman of Ephemeral Power + Pyroblast is only really good for Duels and not much else. PvP requires sustainability and survivability, which the spec doesn't allow lol

[@aotearoaaudio]

awesome vids dude, heres a million interweb dollars $$$$$$$$

[@Spurros]

Hahaha, the Fist of the North Star kung-fu noises at 0:27, amazing

I'm sure someone's mentioned it by now but there's a typo at the end for Ceiling*

I feel like this isn’t like the other vanilla flavor videos you’ve done

[@PlatinumWoW]

How so?

[@BennyBrown00]

Ant Ell m8 you just gonna leave your favorite utubber hanging like that???

[@Ashterial]

Love it! I main a mage in retail which has definetly lost it's usefulness compaired to back then although frost is still a cc monster.

[@Tavylizia]

Dude, you are so funny x) bungie watching your class previews just because you make me laugh.. ty man!

[@metalsmgamepy9447]

Hahah.. that guitarr hero scene is so funny. And your editing overall is damn great. 😊👍

"Help me summon my friend to the battleground" /Trollface.jpg

[@lyudmiltsekov8557]

Totally lost it on the entry montage, you earned another subscriber.

[@olewyrdd]

an Ad came on while watching this video and the opening line was "Your first camper is easy to tow." Actually, thought that was a point to this vid but just mostly ironic...would've applied to a Hunter as well. On another note, loving these videos. I don't play Classic but I have been playing since Vanilla and reliving some of the earlier builds is fascinating. Thanks for putting the time in

[@XerxezsX]

There's an easy way to gear your mage and go fire and you will be one shotting mobs, this happens once you have Pyroblast and ignite, you will almost never have to sit down to drink again, leveled 4 mages like this for professions, I also have a warrior and they're the worst class to level and boring. The illusion of frost aoe farming is just that an illusion because you will be competing for mobs in the game, no one is going to just let you tag all the mobs for you to kill.

[@youtooberman9001]

I was a 3 min mage in vanilla and it was insane fun. Oh hello giant epic geared warrior that makes nearly everyone wet their pants, will you please wait another 50 seconds before charging me?

[@Annomaster3]

I am new to WoW, played it a little in BFA, got to level 80, but can not wait for classic, because there will be less spells and stuff like that, can not decide what to do either mage or a warrior, horde :D what would you recommend, thanks :D

[@crave1826]

Dude, there will be more spells and stuff in classic

[@brendan9575]

Great guide as always you just forgot one little thing for PvP as palm pyro You must be listening to big blue dress by Cranius while playing it.

[@MultiGeorge101]

I thought Frostbite was good, I guess it's not, interesting!

[@ichbinein123]

Frostbite is an absolute must have for regular play and PVP. It's only when AOE farming that it doesn't work well.

[@MiekSr]

Will we have raid markers at the start of Classic Wow?

[@Chango110418]

Lol love the dragon force pop in music for frost bolt

[@multiestonian]

1:36 Lol xD Very well made video, very interesting and funny.

[@dyllie7123]

great editing and love the humor!! LOVE IT!

[@TheSilentpulse]

What i always asked myself: Why aren't Elemental-Mages going for Frost and Fireshield-Reflector in Talent trees? In Frost you could easily take the 20% dmg bonus and one out of frostbolt/frostbite to get the 2points there and take some in fire out and get the 2 there. It's a coinflip, but it's hella rewarding and much better in terms of defensives, since you dont have ice barrier. Reflecting an Immolate oder Fireblast often determines the outcome of the Duel. I always take those 2, combined with Engineering trinkets you are basically immortal

[@Rave.-]

I fucking hate any content from Tips at this point, but that vending machine blip had me fucking rolling.

[@hawtpawket]

@2:45 "Lots of COMPITION" lmao

[@kettlemang]

yeah saw that too...

I think we need to give Mages an intervention, they have a drinking problem, come on guys, get some help

[@ottohedlund9955]

How good are they? Nothing special. Just the most overpowered class, when it comes to farming and pvping. Especially when it is combined with engineering.

[@careyrobbins3737]

Oh my gosh this kid makes my laugh out loud. I caught my husband watching me and asking me what was so funny. Great video i played during the original vanilla and forgot how much fun it could be . I can still remember how painful if was with out a mount.

Why would you not play Mage?

[@fiestafire5781]

This is actually a good guide. Comming from some1 who has never touched wow in my life i can get a good understanding of what mages do. Also saw the warrior guide. Havent seen the others but from these 2 ill make a mage first then warrior

[@HerralemanZyG]

So u can't fight fire with more fire? That sucks....

[@JonJon-nt1wy]

Hmmm.... i never oom..... use rank 1 arcane missiles against solo mobs to gain clear casting and all most any rank 1 aoe spell on multiple mobs
