I promised in my class picking guide that I'd cover races, so here it is! Professions are the last big thing that I want to cover, but I'm going to wait until we have more details as there's too much patch-dependent stuff up in the air right now. If you spot any errors or have anything to add go ahead!

I haven’t played wow in 8 years but your videos make me want to get back in. If you have any videos or advice and could share for new players, that would be awesome!

[@lisat4334]

Great overview - just wanna add that bloodelf rogues get a decent energy upfill through the racial and a situationally very handy aoe silence which might be very useful in arena pvp.

[@gabcatyper]

I understand they will release TBC on the last patch and the original stats for all bosses (no refs will be done) but they will release the raids in 3 phases

dude you are the best, feels like its 2005 everytime i watch your videos, thank you.

[@WillEmmo]

That would you rather for the warlock at the start is too real. Half the horde are undead, the other half are damn warriors, fear might as well just be a cosmetic spell in pvp.

[@Yajarobi69]

I went Alliance Warlock because Alliance of course, for Classic and learned quickly PvP was impossible.

[@alexanderxyz6146]

The smooth voice turns out to be really fitting for this overall video IMO. (Slightly whispering style). How the different stuffs in the video come together is well done. Such as zooming in slowly , step by step pictures for the explanations, etc. Good job! If you need some critical feedback: Perhaps adding a few chapters via yt function. (it's good for when you lost track,or were occupied for a minute or two somewhere else) Keep on showing just stuff that you talk about - that's a core part of high quality video making IMO. (with few exceptions such as introduction perhaps) Self notice: 26:10 priests and paladins - i had to watch this one twice as I didn't know what it was about at first.

[@Kondekka]

Loved the hidden references in the video!

Yes I started in tbc, was dwarf rogue. Used to win all duels, unless it was an arms warrior that was equally good as using their class. Hit a dodge near the end of the fight and get one shot xD

You made me do a hard exhale through the nose, on the Moooving on to the tauren. Well played.. Well played!

[@baldie80]

"Cowpun" as the character name was even better. Sure some might call it lazy for not actually coming up with a pun, but there have been so many by now that MadS treated it like the meme it really is!

[@rumchata6569]

Love these for bed time

[@GaryLamb2020]

Nostalgia at its finest!

[@wynabroad1868]

Shadowguard + Blackout is amazing. Been great for me in Classic.

[@DrPluton]

I loved Seal of Vengeance during TBC as a human paladin. I leveled as holy, and it scaled very well with spell damage. When I switched to protection, it was great to spread that DoT around for increased threat on multiple mobs. I never played retribution during TBC, so I never knew how much worse it was, but it worked great for PVE.

[@asdasdaasdada9720]

i like how you made a 30 minute video about how you pick human as alliance and orc as horde.

[@minnesocold]

Mad Season...the intro and overall production on each race...Beautiful

[@Wegeoliver]

15:15 "... if dying is your speciality..." my WoW career in a nutshell.

[@Babaganoosh69]

A couple points about draenei, their racial HoT does scale with spell or healing power from what I've seen online. Also the fact it has a cast time can be useful if you're a caster in pvp situations. You can try and bait a kick/counterspell into the racial to keep your other magic schools open.

[@googleandsusansucks]

Would that not lock you out of holy spells tho? People will not bother to kick it if you are not paladin or priest. Also, don't trust stuff you learn from people online. Remember how many things the private server scene got wrong about classic?

[@jamescrook9600]

Man I'm excited for tbc classic

[@lilyasuper]

1 minut and 75 second? 😉 great video, love your content

[@Krubbe]

When I was a kid in vanilla I used to stack as much spirit as I could on my troll hunter while leveling because I thought it would make me be able to tank mobs without worry

[@deric4305]

One note about night elf druids - they can use shadowmeld while shapeshifted in TBC whereas in Classic they can’t.

[@bip0larwillump]

nice video man!

[@jakobholm5946]

Hey MadSeason, big fan. Any plans of continuing the expansion breakdown? Loved the first couple! Keep up the good work

[@arcanehellgiver]

OH yeah baby, time to settle down for a nice 30 minute MadSeason vid

[@bobsmith-lm3hs]

awww yeeeahhh

[@Iranex1]

I love this video! I think shadow guard needs a tiny bit more love though, because (just like lightning shield) if you remember to cast it right before you drink (or like 20 sec before you get in a fight) then its damage per mana spent ratio is the highest in the game at 0 mana spent. So its free damage! You could think of it like "this ability reduces every mob or player youll ever fight's health by x for free with no global". Though its a tiny chore to keep casting but i suppose you could make a macro that includes it somehow.

[@Moonstrider]

Love this!

[@patrickjones9477]

Never change that intro!

[@Jive33]

I love the Zelda music at the end.

[@patriotjedi530]

[@ssf4dudley89]

😱 here we go again ,the hype is real !!!!

[@Elnoriel]

Druids in animal form are considered beasts in terms of beast slayer racial's 5% dmg boost if I remember correctly, they can even be feared by scare beast and seen on the minimap with beast tracking

Yes that is also why hunters can fear them.

I've played WoW for so many years, and never knew that Priests had unique spells for each race. And now I'm thinking of making a third Draenei for that Priest ability lol

[@KevsShwaShwa]

Surprised you didn't start off with, do ya wanna ride an Ostrich or an Elephant.

[@pokeman5000]

I'll be real I remember being very mad that the alliance got elephants back in 07. But all things considered every base horde mount was cooler than half the ones they had. I also liked their sci-fi leveling zone way more than the blood elf darnassus recolor. Ghostlands was decent but felt like a mix between WPL and alliance duskwood. The only thing that made it fun was leveling up with 4 other paladins like a crusade to take back the holy land.

[@googleandsusansucks]

@@pokeman5000 Calling it a "darnassus recolor" is a joke. They have completely different architecture and the zones feel very unique, (ghostlands might be a bit rehashy but fighting scourge that early is kinda cool).

[@Kryos]

Not played WoW in years, still here for the voice

[@wizbiz1589]

I will pick Gnome, Dwarf, Human and Dranei in this exact order. Because we use Alliance as stairs. I didn't include NE, because they might meld when stepping on them
