0:54 real reason

[@Silmarieni1]

Not sure if you missed a point, since I began in TBC, but one additional aspect of the class I love is soloing bosses / powerful NPCs.

[@mizzogames]

I'm glad that you accept the challenge and are creating this epic series! Hyped with the next one!

[@bhiei]

Thanks for putting the video together fun to watch

[@alejavitox]

I'd love if this could become a series. I really liked this video and how you do this kind of videos, it reminded me of "the legacy of ..." videos preacher did. Thanks for the great content.

[@SelwenG]

That's my goal! :)

[@aMilling]

I don't think i've seen a worse tank than the void walker, that's why i became one myself and started playing drain tanking.

[@Flindtlock]

So worth dealing with him for Master Summoner and Sacrafice. So many Rogues trying to flex during leveling regret even trying to attack

[@pshearduk]

For my sins Affliction lock since vanilla here :) never gave the class up..

[@Talon323]

I am a warhammer fantasy fan. Particularly I like the skaven. So it should come as no suprise that when I made a classic character, I picked warlock and decided to go with the engineering profession. I am a warlock engineer.

[@Ash-bd6jz]

You'll definately find late on in levelling. The extra utility provided on top of a warlocks default utility skills it will be good fun mate. Have fun :)

[@BandOFools7]

Love the video man. I just started classic and have got my warlock to lvl 13 and I have to say I'm loving every second. I can't wait to reach lvl 60 and open up my build more

[@avargs3505]

Absolutely incredible editing and effort put into this great piece

[@RalfGameZ]

Warlock was the very first class I mained in Vanilla and what I continue to main in Classic!

[@mikeeberhardt9172]

Same here. My original is a lock from mid vanilla. Tailor/enchanter we’re the original professions and I have almost all patterns. But they broke him. Now he’s back and I get to enjoy it all over again! Good luck in Azeroth!

[@irtehdar2446]

Warlock is the ultimate master class. Theres only 2 things thats not absolutely awesome about being a warlock. 1: healers healing me when Im bandaging and then complaining about lifetap. Then focus on the tank and let me die. Your job is to heal the tank. Mine is to not stand in the fire. 2: Other warlocks bitching about soulshards. We have 1 reagent to keep tabs on. And its free everywhere. Not to mention its literally the soul of your previous victims. If that shit came with nametags it would be the most marvelous collectables in the game. If you dont love soul shards you dont deserve to be a warlock.

[@crenuk112]

^this is so true mate

[@titusbojan5251]

I'd go over soulshards any day on my mage , u can have all my mana.... oh wait life tap ftw :D

[@plasticbudgie]

I'd like to add another reason why Warlock isn't awesome, They're not a Mage.

[@irtehdar2446]

plasticbudgie What do you call a warlock thats not awesome? A mage.

[@RayPatterson9281]

Yo, this video is fire.. Got me amped to lvl my Lock! Very inforative and helpful!

[@tarekmoneimsaid]

I think soul shards are badass... You drain the soul of your dying enemies into a tiny shard, only to destroy it at your convenience, for your powerful spells. Before shard bags, they were indeed a pain to organize (thank god for addons), but since I've only ever played Warlock in WoW, I'm fairly used to having a bag fully dedicated to soul shards.

[@DDonSon1]

That intro was AMAZING!!! DAMN! 💪

[@imthewrongone6723]

how do i get the dmg numbers in my spells?

[@joshduhman2029]

what is the UI add on at 8:20

[@kwonderland89]

To summon this up: Port. Done. (props to the edit tho, still thumped up)

[@Nilllan]

Great video! Subbed.

[@Hazelthenerd]

This was so well done, well said. We certainly do have the most unique and fun class in the game !

[@badmanners619]

"whoever decided NOT to stack soul shards....truly is an evil...evil...man..." 😂😭 So true! I'm weak lol

[@nick-illcityreppin-sknk]

I literally thought "WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A WARLOCK?" then this video popped on my suggestions a few days later , you are entirely correct , I love you ... Loccdown(Undead-Warlock), Warmane

[@mares3048]

That succubus...i lost

[@ez6791]

What class are you doing next? These are awesome!

[@Vampretta666]

My alt is going to be a gnome warlock :D his lvl 10, wanted break from lving my priest ^^ thanks for video bro, don;t wait to levell ^^

[@celuiquipeut6527]

I remember playing in Vanolla wow. And earning all those minions. It was amazing.

[@gleidsonoliveira4348]

great video

[@MartinNabi]

Would be nice if i could actually still do this with my inferno... in classic it just dissapears after it breaks enslavement, so damn lame they did that just to prevent a tiny, but hilarious bit if griefing and a mini event that requires a high levl to come save the lowbies its unleashed upon.

[@tarekmoneimsaid]

wait, seriously? WTF... It was not only fun in cities like Stormwind, but in Warsong Gulsh (PvP) it would still be useful even when it broke free, as you could send it inside the enemy base before Enslave Demon's cooldown finished... Also, since it had a chance to break free early (although I think they changed that a few patches before or in 1.12), you could enslave it again, is that gone too? Does it only happen in cities, or everywhere?

[@sorrowhill9269]

I hope you make an episode about Paladin next!

[@andrew51723]

Tanking possible, tanked leotheras the blind in ssc, Fire elementals in bt, much more

[@Vardi_]

Solo main Warlock since ‘06 here

[@oReminiscence]

teach me?

[@Jive33]

Warlocks are so fucking fun to play.

[@Xarxes104]

Best class ever ❤❤

[@braydenpetty5400]

Locks are a real pain to tank for though.. they aggro everything in sight, sack themselves and don't give a shit

[@MrziggzaggHC]

True we don't give af

[@mikeeberhardt9172]

Yep, you can tank for everyone else. We’ve got ourselves under control

[@andrewmartini3827]

We don’t give a shite ya jelly bastahd

[@AledMify]

Hunter next please...

[@Grateful_7]

Hi, can you give us your elvui profile at 0:34 Thank You ! Great Vid btw

[@andrew51723]

I rolled one for 0:54 lol

[@notrust6284]

is orc warlock good in pvp?

[@notrust6284]

Omg thank you so much!!! I will go orc!

[@notrust6284]

Omg thank you so much!!! I will go orc!

[@mikeeberhardt9172]

I’ve played undead lock since mid vanilla..first toon I ever made. WoF is a lifesaver and coupled with a PvP trinket is just wicked. And then there’s the awesomeness of eating the corpse of the person you just killed for food :)

[@Lobexx]

No Trust undead and orc are both great, really comes down to preference. Orcs better imo

[@anders8461]

I dont even remember my demon pet name in retail, shame on me :(

[@SelwenG]

Shame!

[@anders8461]

@@SelwenG it just mean i dont deserve them :p

[@mikeeberhardt9172]

Mine was Zharkast. I haven’t pulled him out in a while but I think he still has the same name

[@graysonaustin7023]

[@Jondread]

I am literally on the LAST stage of my epic mount quest, trying to get a group for DM West that doesn't consist of an entire bunch of MORONS is soooo hard D: but I am so close to getting that fire horsey!

[@joshuaroe1402]

What was the one constant in every so called group of "morons" so far?

[@AphoticGoblin]

Hunters are better, because spiders. Only reason I alt warlock is because of how much I love watching meteor showers, because I just LOVE rain of fire like abilities, or blizzard like abilities.

[@TheFuchao]

Well tanking is absolutly viable... Especially if you have the pvp gloves and a pally in Group for the concentration aura. Problem is, that it is viable really late ingame. You can even tank Raid Bosses. Take ony for example...

[@arjanarjan4718]

Hes just backing up to get a good view of his pet soloing in PvP xD

[@zynthexthezane]

@@richardyoung6472 He didn't even have Fear keybound. It makes sense. It looks like an old video. I hear people back then kinda sucked.

[@khloepatrick7]

its classic we know all this same dance and song

[@normy6801]

why is Selwen Awesome?

[@tanmo4569]

Make video of "Why Warlocks are not Awesome".

[@christopherwoods9830]

I hope you like casting shadow bolts and lifetap in raids then having healers pissed off cause they have to heal you all the time

[@andrew51723]

christopher woods my life

[@christopherwoods9830]

I rolled a warlock to 60 on horde and was like f this now I got a front flipping drood on ally so much more fun

[@sauracifer3557]

join #TeamTrees :D

[@Kubesatko1]

The pet thath will pull all the mobs from dungeon and then they kicked you out... But yeah warlocks are awesome

[@LeCaptRage]

0:53 Oufffff

[@Blessedup69]

I love my warlock. I can 1v2 already at lvl 26

[@carlinho8052]

WHY ARE DRUIDS AWESOME PLS

[@coomercommander2554]

They are not.

[@Humanaut.]

Tbh i find rogue leveling faster and easier than warlock.

[@chesusjrist9733]

Idoobz?

[@jasonweiss3160]

As a healer in 5 mans, I find them annoying.

[@pseudosanct5253]

as a healer main, I call you weak. let them work

[@placebo5466]

as a warlock in classic. I always have bandages and potions (herb/alchemy). I try not to let the healers be responsible for the Life Taps but then again, you are healer, so heal.

[@BryonG9]

I make sure to tell the healer that I am not a priority. I tell them that I will be life tapping but I can manage my own health just fine. And honestly if I’m doing what I should be doing like not pulling aggro or standing in fire then I shouldn’t need heals.

[@TrollFaceLaunch0]

My healer always asks me to tap more because he is bored

[@jasonweiss3160]

A lot of whiny locks can’t handle the truth. About 90% of you suck. To the 10% that doesn’t, I salute you.

[@teneos3143]

They arent:P

[@Erik-de8id]

Bruh first view and first comment?!

[@Matt-qu3pg]

Their big summons sound absolutely useless. 3 players and one dies? Tf is the point of that

[@Zockerratte]

Well in classic it was just for fun but they changed this ability after classic.

[@Matt-qu3pg]

Zockerratte maybe if there was a big health sacrifice from the warlock sort of making it a pre summon to a battle and def not useable in any situation unprepared. Def wouldnt sacrifice a player for an npc though

[@mikeeberhardt9172]

Best used just to troll people. Otherwise basically useless

[@Ryurix]

low dps

[@Mikezzxa]

ASMONGOLD IS BALD , BREAKING NEWS !! HE IS BALD

[@renyen9752]

This is completely unrelated. Go someplace relevant, kid.

[@Mikezzxa]

@@renyen9752 nobody cares dude

[@basabra]

Boring af

[@L1ghtstorm]

They are useless in most dungeons and a mana drain on healers.

[@Lobexx]

Shut your fucking mouth

[@itZForbzy]

If a healer is wasting all their mana on a lock life tapping says more about the skill level of the healer to be fair...

[@noaherbaugh3054]

Top aoe and single target dps is useless? I think this word does not mean what you think it means.

[@herbr5509]

I always tell my healer not to heal me when i am tapping. If i die while i am tapping i am playing wrong.
