@@SongsongYT classic era is thriving right now dude I’d say now is even better than fresh. If you get a lucky boe drop while leveling it’ll actually sell on the AH cuz other players have money whereas fresh everyone’s broke and everyone’s fighting for quest mobs. You’ll find all level ranges every dungeon being ran every day for any faction. I don’t see any reason to wait. Unless you’re interested in hc maybe wait for official hc servers. I’ve tried alliance on pve and horde on pvp and both are absolutely poppin!
Yeah came back to check other classes since I'm having a blast playing with the HC addon on classic era, it makes me feel like MadSeason is still here, pumping the best serious videos about World of Warcraft I've ever seen
If you’ve ever tried to make a video, you know this took a LOT of work. The fact he only puts an ad at the end of nearly an hour of this quality of editing is impressive.
Content creator’s have every right; many of them do this as a living. If it came down to watching a few ads on a video from a creator I enjoy, or watch no videos because they don’t have sufficient resources to devote the amount of time it takes to put together such an excellent video, I would gladly take the ads. And as Dylan said, something like this takes A LOT of work and MadSeason deserves whatever support we can give, even if he doesn’t bring it up in his videos.
Yea those greedy bastards making me watch 20 seconds of ads to support the creator , do these shits think I got time for that to carve out of my day of watching vanilla wow videos... P.S. I dont mind if wanna add more ads Mad I would watch to support np!
If only, have fun trying to find a guild playing Balance druid or bear tank... come to think of it try finding a guild playing anything that isnt a warrior tank.

"Im not sure what class to play, let me search UA-cam" "Last time you played classic was 12 years ago" "I won't go into too much detail and spreadsheet" Literally the reasons why I am here
Not playing WoW anymore and most likely wont play classic due to RL and lack of time, but i still satiate my cravings and go down the memory lane with your videos, best channel to watch on my tablet before falling a sleep.
I am the same way !! I have a girl and a 3 year old now so i don't have the time and current wow is foreign to me but i like watching these videos and remembering the good ol days.
I'm pretty sure that your vanilla guides are gonna gonna get tons of visits when the classic servers come out this summer. Your hard work is gonna pay off.
NO FREAKING WAY! I just started looking into what to play for Classic earlier today and now I find this in my sub box! It's like it was meant to be :')
Same though I was wondering for a few days now. This video just made it harder tbh. I'm sure I don't want to roll a druid but other than that every class is so cool and unique idk what to choose.
This just shows that WoW used to be a game which had classes very distinct from each other. It was unbalanced in many ways I think, and that is what made the game so popular and cherished. Yes, nobody could do everything well, but there was always at least one distinct thing that only your class you could do. And that is what made it special. Also, the game was more complicated then, everything wasn’t made simpler like it has been over the years. That meant that your character and gameplay style could be personalized much more, and that you actually needed to research your class and many things in the game to get the optimal rewards/ satisfaction out of the game. That effort made what you gained valuable and meaningful. The more simplified and easified things became, the less meaningful and satisfying they became, ridiculous to say this but its just like in real life. Someone once said “everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” I think this is a great saying that describes what happened to WoW. In years, the sense of over-guidance, help and simplification in in-game structure increased so much that the sense of exploration and struggle decreased. What was focused on was instant easy gratifications in the form of many in game small rewards/ gimmicks/ cosmetics. The player base understood and felt that “wins”, weren’t real wins and thus they meant little to us. Everybody started being able to do everything by themselves, which meant that they needed nobody now, and hardships were also removed/reduced. Before, you had to look up which boss dropped what, which map has what resource or point of interest etc. , not every gear was class and spec optimized etc. This saw a decline in the subscriber numbers and general game satisfaction. Classes became less and less distinguished. You can even see that in how current pvp/ pve armor sets in various classes look indistinguishable from eachother if you check out WoW’s site right now. But in this video, see how a paladin looked so different from a hunter or a rogue or a priest. It was all beautiful. Bottom line: I am glad that game is back to its original roots: its not so balanced, less constructed, oftentimes quirky, full with easier and harder obstacles, its hardships. What I am most curious about is, how many people will be willing to return to a much less streamlined and harder game experience after all the years of getting used to simplification and the easing of things ?
My guild gave priority to warlocks for the 18 slot Onyxia Bag. Quite fair, considering everyone was bugging them for soulstones, healthstones and summons.
Damn i honestly cant wait for the release. The class fantasy aspect of the game is one of the most important things for me. You can literally pick any class and you have always something to bring to the table.
@deenman23 warlock and paladin weren't just buff bitches, warlocks pulled some of the best DPS in parts of vanilla and paladins have the highest healing output and insane in PVP. Shaman also weren't just buff bitches, they were the only AOE healers. Plus more casual guilds will take shamans and paladins for DPS. Druid aren't buff bitches because they can heal well, tank fine and DPS fine. Your whole comment is based on misinformation
24:40 Now at last, I understand where the charge ability of the boar and the +1 attack from the wolf of Hearthstone is coming from. Many thanks for your detailed & informative videos. One can truely feel your dedication and love for the old WOW. Great work mate! Best regards from Ger & China!
When I first started watching your WOW videos, I was like, "Why is this dude so monotone? That dissipates fairly quickly, and it's actually kind of nice. Anyway, you do a great job with all the WOW videos and the story telling. Thanks man, I think we all appreciate your work. -Matt
Great video... However all of you who haven't played Vanilla should understand that this video gives the generalization of the average player's experience playing each class. One of the great things about Vanilla was your ability to customize your spec/builds however the heck you wanted. There will be like 1-2 standard builds for each class, however if you are quite good and willing to go against the norm, I remember seeing some people who did quite well, at times even exceptional, with odd builds and/or specs that most considered not viable. Although I will mention getting people to open their minds and actually give you a chance to show that you are able to perform above the norm with an odd build/spec it quite a task in and of itself.
Looked like Wow vanilla really engaged players to a far greater degree than Current Wow! It’s crazy how much has been lost in the name of making a more accessible streamlined experience. Really looking forward to playing 😊
@@ndnd1671 Blizzard merged with greed lord Activision in 2008 just before wotlk expansion. And what do ya know, wotlk is the expansion that started to dumb the game down with easier dungeons, heirloom gear, and instant travel dungeon queues. Things just got more and more casual from there. Blizzard died with the Activision merg. A company who once made hardcore games for gamers now was catering to casuals to increase player numbers because Activision demands more $$$
Name of the game here is to relax take your time and enjoy. Raiding is very time demanding or at least it was, and i think a lot of people will burn out before so its not like modern. Then again theres alot of other stuff to do :-)
This brings back so many memories of my time playing original WoW, when I finally settled on a Tauren Warrior as my main. The endless running, the lack of money, the convincing a guild leader (recommended by a friend) to let me join, and then the endless 40-man runs with the guildleader screaming in our ears. Good times.
One thing you forgot with Hunter is that pets need to be manually leveled. So if you're level 60 and you tame a level 10 beast, prepare for level grinding! I terribly miss all of the little gimmicks. :(
I miss "Rare" pets actually being rare, and useful. Making all of the pets basically the same was probably the worst decision ever made to the Hunter class. Some of my favorite memories of playing hunter was camping out an area for hours just to get a cool rare pet, that would also have some special abilities and/or increased stats.
I picked up the dog that barks in the alliance base (my hunter was an Orc). I wonder if that dog will be in this version of vanilla. His name was Spot iirc. When you click on him he barks. And yeah I kept using that dog through many expansions because he seemed so unique to me, and I believe he was unobtainable after one of the expansions.
Pets also had no innate damage reduction, a channeled heal, aoe heals were group only, so they would die in any fight that had aoe damage. Also, their pathing would routinely surprise you.
I don't know if people ever point this out but you have the impeccable skill of utilizing great music and musical transitions between topics. That aside, I don't know if I want to play shaman or a hunter. When I first started out it was during TBC and I made a hunter. I LOVED how hunters were in og WoW. It felt so damn good annihilating players in bgs and duels as a hunter as people knew to respect your skills because, like you said, the skill cap was high for hunters. I never minded buying ammo, I never minded the deadzone or having to engage in melee. I quit after Wotlk. I went back during cata once and was devastated to see how they gutted everything unique about the class. I still play now, but my hunter is STILL in his wotlk naxx raid gear. I haven't touched him since.
Excellent video! Remember guys, this is going to be for you, for the player! Just play the game the way you want, do not blindly follow tutorials. Find some friends (either IRL or in-game) to play with, and you will find the spot in the dungeon or raid group that you are after. I for once, will have an enha shaman as an alt, and I will not go into groups for healing; I will go as dps and support the other classes in the group
Exactly, you may not get the best guild playing as these week specs, but I'm sure you can find a casual/semi hardcore guilds that don´t mind that much and want to have fun, you´re not 100% useless, well unless you´re prot pally or druid tank, then you really can't do anything past MC, sorry haha but I mean there are 40 spots in raids, having 3 or so classes with specs that aren't considered the best isn't gonna harm the progression too much, especially pre AQ40. Also these weaker PvE specs usually dominate PvP. Plus every spec is viable in every dungeon. Enhancement, Elemental, Retribution, Shadow, Balance, and don't get me started on Feral druids, god they can be sooo strong in PvP and literally have a high skill cap. And PvP in Classic is fun, I think everyone enjoys/will enjoy PvP in Classic, so competely different from current PvP.
"Strengths, weaknesses, and quirks" - sums up what was so great about classes back then and why so many are leaving retail. Classes felt and played so different back then. Many restrictions that made sense and provided boundaries have been lifted over time. Like being able to use spell reflect without a shield equipped, one magically appears in retail and removing paladins extra spells for attacking only undead and demon targets. Letting holy warriors be played on the mongrel, brutish, wild faction and vice versa with shaman. Little things like that chipped away at class identity or sensible immersion for over a decade to try and achieve the "hyper-balance" ,as you said, we have today. And we're left with the scene we have today.
I've never played WoW, but I love this one video of an assassination rogue sneaking up on a retribution paladin who managed to kill him with one mighty swing
One thing to note, especially for warlocks... in vanilla, you had the choice of what RANK spells to cast. So, if your tank can't hold aggro, don't stop casting... cast lower rank spells until they regain enough threat to open up again.
I remember playing my hunter. Was an excellent class to play for fun. I tamed the fastest cat in the barrens for attack speed. The use of wing clip and feign death was invaluable in PVP and shooting an enlarged gun as a Big Tauren was just an epic feeling.
The fact that no one can seem to pick a class and thousands of videos are out on helping people choose goes to show that the class design was perfect in vanilla. Every single class has great strengths, weaknesses, and niches
Or it shows how tryhard it was ;p once u commit to a class, it's very hard to reroll, it's not like u can pay 60 eur to get to instant 55 and lvl 5 lvls ;)
Yea the commitment and everything defined the character to you and how you wanted to play them. It developed as you played. I played classic from 04-07 and I rejoined this year 2019 and it has been a very dull grind compared to classic. I’m so fucking ready for this it is the entire reason I bought time. I will make multiple characters, but damn it’s hard to choose a main at first.
14 years and 11 Warlocks Later. I can firmly say Vanilla was probably the worst for my class lol. Get invited to a group or raid just to summon a dozen people, and immediately get booted for a mage. 👍
@@sven849 Actually what you should remember, and this is a pro tip that got my main lock banned for 48hrs. BATTLEMASTERS in org. Yup. Wall climb up in the battle masters lodge in Org and summon an infernal down bellow. All players exiting BGs usually come out with low health. Infernal has a large AoE fire dmg aura. Usually kills lower lvls toons. Also they cant kill it because its aggro is 100% on you and since ur up a wall its just bugged out trying to kill you. ;)
I really think you make the best wow videos. The editing, music choices and your way of explaining really captures the soul and feeling of wow we all love. Thanks for doing this
I've been watching your content for years.. Love your devotion and commitment to the authenticity of your voice.. I have also never heard you recite something inaccurate. Thanks man.. for your passion and your content.. It's always a pleasure when I reconnect with WOW to watch your videos and to be informed by your perspective.. it's wonderfully pure to the core ideals of the magic that mmos provide.
Best moment of playing my warlock: I was in a battleground as a lvl 26 warlock. I was attacked by a lvl 29 rogue with good gear. I had previously applied my soulstone and then logged out. I sacrificed my Void walker and did as much damage as I could. Then I died. I ressed with my Soulstone, feared him, and applied my soulstone again. I then did more damage, but died once more. When he thought he had finished me off and turned his back, I revived AGAIN, and then I finally killed him. It was amazing.
What's really amazing is that you were able to cast create soulstone without getting killed and without mana, and then to ignore the cool down and apply it again. Twice. Pretty interesting stuff.
@@noworldorder He did say he had previously logged out after applying his ss. I am assuming he logged back in after the cd was off. If he had a stone already in his bag when going into the bg it would allow him to apply it again very easily, fear, ss again, dot dot die again, rez a second time kill rogue
This is the best video to watch/listen to while playing current and waiting for classic. I've watched it like 15 times and still dont know what class to pick
I did a lot of PvP in vanilla on my Rogue. I loved camping brackets when I was leveling. 29,39,49. Got all my honor gear for the next bracket before I started leveling again. I think this time I want to try my hand at PvE, some combat swords. Will be a familiar but brand new thing for me.
Andrew this is what I did as wel. In classic those 9 levels allowed you to get nice and geared up too. I’d also recommend checking out combat maces spec. Stun proc 😁
Story Time: I remember the first day my Mum brought home a copy of this new game called World of Warcraft- I didn't know anything about it other than my rich friend liked to talk about Warcraft 3; The Frozen Throne. My Mum had got it because a friend of her had got it too and they figured they'd play together, me and my brother were watching with wide-eyed interest as she goes to the character creator and we all decide she should make a night elf. I don't think I will ever forget that opening, that narrator giving a brief history through a tracking shot of the environment- goddamn this game captured such a sense of wonder in us. I ended up making a Gnome rogue and my brother a Draenei hunter, those years were honestly some of the best for me in gaming, since for me as a rogue I realized that so long as you were careful and stayed in stealth, you could explore high level areas. I distinctly remember spending dozens and dozens of hours slowly creeping through the beautiful autumn colours of Aszhara and approaching that sunken temple that I found out was from the War of the Ancients- that's not even touching the main reason I made a Gnome, as everyone back then might remember, Gnomish Engineering had some of the weirdest and most situationaly useful gizmos in the game. I miss Classic..
@@NotAdamSandler While I appreciate the correction, I did play in Classic, it's just we didn't get to make my own character till BC, same with my brother. At first we only got to watch her play and sometimes, do quests as her character, a Night Elf Warrior. Don't mistake me, I wasn't raiding or anything but I was playing back in Classic.
I still don't know what class I'm gonna play on Classic after 1 hour of talking about them but I loved the video. It was greatly edited, paced and the OST was perfect. I'm glad I subscribed to this channel ♥
@@Gergo049 The good thing about that though is "Class identity". Every class (and Spec) in Vanilla feels so different and it has specific strengths and weaknesess, so you actually feel like your class and people recognize you for it. In today's WoW every class has the same core, being able to do pretty much everything, and that kills the class identity. So I think lore wise and gameplay wise is awesome seeing every class being better at one thing even if they can do more than one.
Yes, but some specs are just straight off unviable in raiding, and it just happens those specs would appeal to me the most otherwise. Ret/prot paladin, balance druid, elemental shaman.. they're just not good enough. Actually, apart from 1-2 classes, every class has only 1 viable raid spec.
@@Gergo049 It's sad, but true. Some of those things got fixed for Burning Crusade, but not all of them. In many cases it just shuffled the top specs or the top class for each role (Paladins making Warrior tanks obsolete being the chief example I can think of right now). I am still secretly hoping that if Classic goes over well enough that we will eventually see a Legacy BC server at some point as well (maybe 2-3 years after Classic's launch). Not that I think they will ever let Classic "go away" again but they could easily keep adding Legacy servers if there is enough interest. Everyone has a favourite expansion, but Classic, BC and Wrath are the most talked about since all took place before the Cataclysm.
Your explination of who this video was targeting was EXACTLY what i was thinking as im buying WoW classic today, Literally, "Lets check out youtube for a class to play". You sir, are a true friend of the people :)
My first ever character in world of warcraft was towards the end of vanilla, i was about 8 years old and made a warlock gnome, im 23 now and im planning to do the same, the game has always had me hooked so i am beyond excited for this.
But your 23 now. The amount of time vanilla took... is insane, if you hold down a job, get out and... live your life, you don’t have much to gain from it.
soul elevation96 is it? Vanilla wow, even when it was at its highest population took easily the hours of near a full time job per weeek to get anywhere near being able to be productive and geared. You can currently get to 20 in WoW in the time it took to hit level 3 on vanilla/ If your 23 and aren’t in school or working... well that’s sad. But if you still have only the same life you had at 8... welll good for you but that’s still sad :(
@@factbeaglesarebest dude, whats your problem? Your just jealous i have enough cash and spare time to as i wish when i wish, fuckhead. Not everyone has to work a 50 hour week
@@factbeaglesarebest i enjoy wow, i play wow. Its pretty fuckin simple, i have mates i used to play with from fuckin primary school who are coming bacj also
It's amazing how unique classes used to be. Hunter was my very first class and it felt fun and special to me, but now I can play any class and feel nothing for them. Now most classes have slows, stuns, heals - things that used to give a class value - but it's not like Blizz can just reverse those "balanced" changes because then everyone would start complaining that their class is useless now, they can't stun anyone, they died because they lost their self-heal, etc. I'm looking forward to the class fantasy coming back in Classic! I think this time I'll choose a priest (and then a mage and a hunter).
>Hunter Never forget how i stalked an silver dragon wolf, that have shadow damage instead of physical, in Duskwoods. Spent like 8 hours straight in successful attempt and 3 days overall time, some poor souls ain't get him for weeks.
I envy you. The first time i played was in TBC, the first expansion and i can say for sure it was my best game experience ever. TBC was a more complete and perfected version of Vanilla. I hope i had more time now to invest in Vanilla but you can't really do that now with a job and a social life :). Anw you're gonna have a blast.
@@someguy3508 Yeah I came in like a year before TBC and stopped playing around the time WotLK released. To go into the Outlands for the first time again... baby steps, I'll be thoroughly enjoying my first Deadmines re-visit :D
This video was so interesting, well made, nostalgic and even sad at some points that I completely lost track of time. I didn't even realise that I was watching for 1 hour. Great job, keep up the good work, you just gained a new subscriber!
If you play a caster, you get a ranged slot for a Wand weapon. They're more useful on priests and warlocks for solo damage, especially with some DoTs. Early on you get greater magic wand, then you get a really good one in the Blackfathom Deeps dungeon from a quest, that one will last you to the 50's.
yeah i did that. but once you get deep into the 3rd reskilling of your hunter tree, (between pvp pet and survival hunter or high dmg raid hunter....) there is really no point anymore to go back to those puny single itemtype using petless excuses of other classes. hunters be imba, stranglethorn wubwub!
It's been a year since u release this video. I found it today and watch every second. The various soundtrack used is amazing, one of best videos I saw from year no doubt Ty for this!
My recommendation is to get 1 to 60 and just focus one at a time. Example a show priest at level 10 may outdamage a lvl 10 mage. But at 60 that completely changes. Each class has it's own ppwerspikes and cant judge what you will want based off a level 10. Go with what you would want to in real life. What role your heart desires. You wont regret it
Thank you for this MadSeason! Such great explanations. This was great to watch, even just for the nostalgia (still can't believe it's coming back!). Playing modern WoW in the background while watching/listening, I realized that a huge part of the reason I still play today is because of the deeply ingrained memories I have of the feeling of challenge and camaraderie I experienced back in the days of Vanilla and TBC.
~1 year into classic and still can't decide T_T Love the video though! It certainly helped me narrow some classes down and let me try some that I thought I'd hate. I genuinely appreciate the effort poured into the video and I hope the Rank 14 grind is going well.
Thanks for making this video. You answered my exact question. "everyone is diving so deep into the classes. I'm gonna play super casually, what should I play?" and I come across this gem.

@intempify but I'm conflicted cuz i never got to get a legendary first time around. Always wanted windseeker n mace
This just shows that WoW used to be a game which had classes very distinct from each other. It was unbalanced in many ways I think, and that is what made the game so popular and cherished. Yes, nobody could do everything well, but there was always at least one distinct thing that only your class you could do. And that is what made it special. Also, the game was more complicated then, everything wasn’t made simpler like it has been over the years. That meant that your character and gameplay style could be personalized much more, and that you actually needed to research your class and many things in the game to get the optimal rewards/ satisfaction out of the game. That effort made what you gained valuable and meaningful. The more simplified and easified things became, the less meaningful and satisfying they became, ridiculous to say this but its just like in real life. Someone once said “everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” I think this is a great saying that describes what happened to WoW. In years, the sense of over-guidance, help and simplification in in-game structure increased so much that the sense of exploration and struggle decreased. What was focused on was instant easy gratifications in the form of many in game small rewards/ gimmicks/ cosmetics. The player base understood and felt that “wins”, weren’t real wins and thus they meant little to us. Everybody started being able to do everything by themselves, which meant that they needed nobody now, and hardships were also removed/reduced. Before, you had to look up which boss dropped what, which map has what resource or point of interest etc. , not every gear was class and spec optimized etc. This saw a decline in the subscriber numbers and general game satisfaction. Classes became less and less distinguished. You can even see that in how current pvp/ pve armor sets in various classes look indistinguishable from eachother if you check out WoW’s site right now. But in this video, see how a paladin looked so different from a hunter or a rogue or a priest. It was all beautiful. Bottom line: I am glad that game is back to its original roots: its not so balanced, less constructed, oftentimes quirky, full with easier and harder obstacles, its hardships. What I am most curious about is, how many people will be willing to return to a much less streamlined and harder game experience after all the years of getting used to simplification and the easing of things ?
The game was much st popular when class balance was introduced, tbc and wrath also I wouldn't call classic dungeons/raids complicated
My guild gave priority to warlocks for the 18 slot Onyxia Bag. Quite fair, considering everyone was bugging them for soulstones, healthstones and summons.
Damn i honestly cant wait for the release. The class fantasy aspect of the game is one of the most important things for me. You can literally pick any class and you have always something to bring to the table.
@deenman23 warlock and paladin weren't just buff bitches, warlocks pulled some of the best DPS in parts of vanilla and paladins have the highest healing output and insane in PVP. Shaman also weren't just buff bitches, they were the only AOE healers.
Plus more casual guilds will take shamans and paladins for DPS.
Druid aren't buff bitches because they can heal well, tank fine and DPS fine.

Great video... However all of you who haven't played Vanilla should understand that this video gives the generalization of the average player's experience playing each class.
One of the great things about Vanilla was your ability to customize your spec/builds however the heck you wanted. There will be like 1-2 standard builds for each class, however if you are quite good and willing to go against the norm, I remember seeing some people who did quite well, at times even exceptional, with odd builds and/or specs that most considered not viable.
Although I will mention getting people to open their minds and actually give you a chance to show that you are able to perform above the norm with an odd build/spec it quite a task in and of itself.
who's back for classic's re-release
This video is so important for the community man. The casual approach is much appreciated, and a lot of people need that. Thank you.
Looked like Wow vanilla really engaged players to a far greater degree than Current Wow!
It’s crazy how much has been lost in the name of making a more accessible streamlined experience.
Really looking forward to playing 😊
Wow was the last great mmo but corporate greed killed it
@@ooooswain More like players killed it. Ruined over time by casual's feedback
@@ndnd1671 Blizzard merged with greed lord Activision in 2008 just before wotlk expansion. And what do ya know, wotlk is the expansion that started to dumb the game down with easier dungeons, heirloom gear, and instant travel dungeon queues. Things just got more and more casual from there. Blizzard died with the Activision merg. A company who once made hardcore games for gamers now was catering to casuals to increase player numbers because Activision demands more $$$
Name of the game here is to relax take your time and enjoy.
Raiding is very time demanding or at least it was, and i think a lot of people will burn out before so its not like modern.
Then again theres alot of other stuff to do :-)
Stfu gay
This brings back so many memories of my time playing original WoW, when I finally settled on a Tauren Warrior as my main.
The endless running, the lack of money, the convincing a guild leader (recommended by a friend) to let me join, and then the endless 40-man runs with the guildleader screaming in our ears.
Good times.
Man, you gave rogues the badass intro they deserved.
Had to give proper respect to my original main!
@@madseasonshow Rogues 'til the day we die.
@intempify It's from diablo 3 actually(new tristram theme specifically). I have it linked in the description =]
Human Mage here. I made lots of rogues cry!
One thing you forgot with Hunter is that pets need to be manually leveled. So if you're level 60 and you tame a level 10 beast, prepare for level grinding! I terribly miss all of the little gimmicks. :(
Kayla Posey they leveled up rather quickly though - as far as i remember...
I miss "Rare" pets actually being rare, and useful. Making all of the pets basically the same was probably the worst decision ever made to the Hunter class. Some of my favorite memories of playing hunter was camping out an area for hours just to get a cool rare pet, that would also have some special abilities and/or increased stats.
I picked up the dog that barks in the alliance base (my hunter was an Orc). I wonder if that dog will be in this version of vanilla. His name was Spot iirc. When you click on him he barks. And yeah I kept using that dog through many expansions because he seemed so unique to me, and I believe he was unobtainable after one of the expansions.
just one thing? How about you had to be out of combat to place traps ;)
So feign death into freezing trap if u wanted to CC someone or something.
Pets also had no innate damage reduction, a channeled heal, aoe heals were group only, so they would die in any fight that had aoe damage. Also, their pathing would routinely surprise you.
dude your editing is top quality, every class transition was soo cool. Bravo madseason
I don't know if people ever point this out but you have the impeccable skill of utilizing great music and musical transitions between topics.
That aside, I don't know if I want to play shaman or a hunter. When I first started out it was during TBC and I made a hunter. I LOVED how hunters were in og WoW. It felt so damn good annihilating players in bgs and duels as a hunter as people knew to respect your skills because, like you said, the skill cap was high for hunters. I never minded buying ammo, I never minded the deadzone or having to engage in melee.
I quit after Wotlk. I went back during cata once and was devastated to see how they gutted everything unique about the class. I still play now, but my hunter is STILL in his wotlk naxx raid gear. I haven't touched him since.
very calm voice, very nice and detailed overview - not too much, no recommandationes for specs/skills. just overall informationes
good video
like +1
Madseason is imo the best current wow info channel on youtube.
I have been playing Classic Wow for a few months now, really enjoying it
Moar dawts!!!
And, OMG 15:49 that audio gave me friggin goosebumps! I missed that so much for so long...
Excellent video! Remember guys, this is going to be for you, for the player! Just play the game the way you want, do not blindly follow tutorials. Find some friends (either IRL or in-game) to play with, and you will find the spot in the dungeon or raid group that you are after. I for once, will have an enha shaman as an alt, and I will not go into groups for healing; I will go as dps and support the other classes in the group
Exactly, you may not get the best guild playing as these week specs, but I'm sure you can find a casual/semi hardcore guilds that don´t mind that much and want to have fun, you´re not 100% useless, well unless you´re prot pally or druid tank, then you really can't do anything past MC, sorry haha but I mean there are 40 spots in raids, having 3 or so classes with specs that aren't considered the best isn't gonna harm the progression too much, especially pre AQ40. Also these weaker PvE specs usually dominate PvP. Plus every spec is viable in every dungeon.
Enhancement, Elemental, Retribution, Shadow, Balance, and don't get me started on Feral druids, god they can be sooo strong in PvP and literally have a high skill cap. And PvP in Classic is fun, I think everyone enjoys/will enjoy PvP in Classic, so competely different from current PvP.
One of the best guides I’ve seen for choosing a class in wow, ty.
ahh nothing better then a madseason video :D
Enjoy dude!

"Strengths, weaknesses, and quirks" - sums up what was so great about classes back then and why so many are leaving retail.
Classes felt and played so different back then.
Many restrictions that made sense and provided boundaries have been lifted over time.
Like being able to use spell reflect without a shield equipped, one magically appears in retail and removing paladins extra spells for attacking only undead and demon targets. Letting holy warriors be played on the mongrel, brutish, wild faction and vice versa with shaman.
Little things like that chipped away at class identity or sensible immersion for over a decade to try and achieve the "hyper-balance" ,as you said, we have today. And we're left with the scene we have today.
How many people do you need to kill a paladin?
Two: One sneaks up to him and says "boo" and the other waits at the inn.
Sebastian Abele the famous bubble heart
Paladins can easily win 1v1s though. Even 1v2s in the open world. So the guy at the inn is fucked.
I've never played WoW, but I love this one video of an assassination rogue sneaking up on a retribution paladin who managed to kill him with one mighty swing
@@kronniichiwa9909 nice propaganda. Paladins fucking sucked in pvp during classic.
@@OatsMealz i bet youre a mage lmao
One thing to note, especially for warlocks... in vanilla, you had the choice of what RANK spells to cast. So, if your tank can't hold aggro, don't stop casting... cast lower rank spells until they regain enough threat to open up again.
here for the re-re-release
Me, but he all the classes sound good and I still can't choose lol
I have waited since 2007 for this game to get back to its roots. Great video MadSeason.
I remember playing my hunter. Was an excellent class to play for fun. I tamed the fastest cat in the barrens for attack speed. The use of wing clip and feign death was invaluable in PVP and shooting an enlarged gun as a Big Tauren was just an epic feeling.
The fact that no one can seem to pick a class and thousands of videos are out on helping people choose goes to show that the class design was perfect in vanilla. Every single class has great strengths, weaknesses, and niches
Or it shows how tryhard it was ;p once u commit to a class, it's very hard to reroll, it's not like u can pay 60 eur to get to instant 55 and lvl 5 lvls ;)
Yea the commitment and everything defined the character to you and how you wanted to play them. It developed as you played. I played classic from 04-07 and I rejoined this year 2019 and it has been a very dull grind compared to classic. I’m so fucking ready for this it is the entire reason I bought time. I will make multiple characters, but damn it’s hard to choose a main at first.
14 years and 11 Warlocks Later. I can firmly say Vanilla was probably the worst for my class lol. Get invited to a group or raid just to summon a dozen people, and immediately get booted for a mage. 👍
@@GoliothOnline666 Thats when you summon your infernal and hearth
@@sven849 Actually what you should remember, and this is a pro tip that got my main lock banned for 48hrs. BATTLEMASTERS in org. Yup. Wall climb up in the battle masters lodge in Org and summon an infernal down bellow. All players exiting BGs usually come out with low health. Infernal has a large AoE fire dmg aura. Usually kills lower lvls toons. Also they cant kill it because its aggro is 100% on you and since ur up a wall its just bugged out trying to kill you. ;)
I really think you make the best wow videos. The editing, music choices and your way of explaining really captures the soul and feeling of wow we all love. Thanks for doing this
I've been watching your content for years.. Love your devotion and commitment to the authenticity of your voice.. I have also never heard you recite something inaccurate. Thanks man.. for your passion and your content.. It's always a pleasure when I reconnect with WOW to watch your videos and to be informed by your perspective.. it's wonderfully pure to the core ideals of the magic that mmos provide.
Best moment of playing my warlock:
I was in a battleground as a lvl 26 warlock. I was attacked by a lvl 29 rogue with good gear. I had previously applied my soulstone and then logged out. I sacrificed my Void walker and did as much damage as I could. Then I died. I ressed with my Soulstone, feared him, and applied my soulstone again. I then did more damage, but died once more.
When he thought he had finished me off and turned his back, I revived AGAIN, and then I finally killed him.
It was amazing.
200 IQ
That's when you get a surge of adrenaline and euphoria after such an epic fight. Such fun was had
What's really amazing is that you were able to cast create soulstone without getting killed and without mana, and then to ignore the cool down and apply it again. Twice.
Pretty interesting stuff.
@@noworldorder He did say he had previously logged out after applying his ss. I am assuming he logged back in after the cd was off. If he had a stone already in his bag when going into the bg it would allow him to apply it again very easily, fear, ss again, dot dot die again, rez a second time kill rogue
Warlocks do have an aggro reset, Its just called a soulstone lol.
good point haha
@@lucasfonseca3022 Yes because the tank will be second on the threat list.
I played warlock in vanilla and they had a threat reduction ability
@@SurvivalSpec No they didn't. Soulshatter came in TBC

I love Schala's Theme of Chrono Trigger during the Mage section. :)
Excellent video, I watched the entire video and it was totally worth, great edit.
we are so back guys in 2024
Fresh reset? Count me in!
I did a lot of PvP in vanilla on my Rogue. I loved camping brackets when I was leveling. 29,39,49. Got all my honor gear for the next bracket before I started leveling again. I think this time I want to try my hand at PvE, some combat swords. Will be a familiar but brand new thing for me.
Andrew this is what I did as wel. In classic those 9 levels allowed you to get nice and geared up too. I’d also recommend checking out combat maces spec. Stun proc 😁
LOVE that Rogue intro: "Now you see me... now you don't!"
i cant tell you how many times ive started/finished watching this. I seriously love your channel and what feels like the soul of wow you put into it.
Story Time:
I remember the first day my Mum brought home a copy of this new game called World of Warcraft- I didn't know anything about it other than my rich friend liked to talk about Warcraft 3; The Frozen Throne. My Mum had got it because a friend of her had got it too and they figured they'd play together, me and my brother were watching with wide-eyed interest as she goes to the character creator and we all decide she should make a night elf. I don't think I will ever forget that opening, that narrator giving a brief history through a tracking shot of the environment- goddamn this game captured such a sense of wonder in us. I ended up making a Gnome rogue and my brother a Draenei hunter, those years were honestly some of the best for me in gaming, since for me as a rogue I realized that so long as you were careful and stayed in stealth, you could explore high level areas. I distinctly remember spending dozens and dozens of hours slowly creeping through the beautiful autumn colours of Aszhara and approaching that sunken temple that I found out was from the War of the Ancients- that's not even touching the main reason I made a Gnome, as everyone back then might remember, Gnomish Engineering had some of the weirdest and most situationaly useful gizmos in the game.
I miss Classic..
Brandon Lokison draeni is not classic so you played in TBC
you didnt play in classic then Draenei is burning crusade
@@NotAdamSandler While I appreciate the correction, I did play in Classic, it's just we didn't get to make my own character till BC, same with my brother. At first we only got to watch her play and sometimes, do quests as her character, a Night Elf Warrior. Don't mistake me, I wasn't raiding or anything but I was playing back in Classic.
I still don't know what class I'm gonna play on Classic after 1 hour of talking about them but I loved the video. It was greatly edited, paced and the OST was perfect.
I'm glad I subscribed to this channel ♥
I feel like every class has downsides that make the choice harder. It's a shame that not all specs are good enough to be welcomed in raiding.
@hondrekroner monnay Every class looks, plays and feels really fun, that's the problem xD
@@Gergo049 The good thing about that though is "Class identity". Every class (and Spec) in Vanilla feels so different and it has specific strengths and weaknesess, so you actually feel like your class and people recognize you for it.
In today's WoW every class has the same core, being able to do pretty much everything, and that kills the class identity.
So I think lore wise and gameplay wise is awesome seeing every class being better at one thing even if they can do more than one.
Yes, but some specs are just straight off unviable in raiding, and it just happens those specs would appeal to me the most otherwise. Ret/prot paladin, balance druid, elemental shaman.. they're just not good enough. Actually, apart from 1-2 classes, every class has only 1 viable raid spec.
@@Gergo049 It's sad, but true.
Some of those things got fixed for Burning Crusade, but not all of them. In many cases it just shuffled the top specs or the top class for each role (Paladins making Warrior tanks obsolete being the chief example I can think of right now).
I am still secretly hoping that if Classic goes over well enough that we will eventually see a Legacy BC server at some point as well (maybe 2-3 years after Classic's launch). Not that I think they will ever let Classic "go away" again but they could easily keep adding Legacy servers if there is enough interest. Everyone has a favourite expansion, but Classic, BC and Wrath are the most talked about since all took place before the Cataclysm.
Your explination of who this video was targeting was EXACTLY what i was thinking as im buying WoW classic today, Literally, "Lets check out youtube for a class to play". You sir, are a true friend of the people :)
Seeing that clip from Drakedog brought back so many memories.
Warlock from day 1. Sad I'll never touch WoW again but its the 1 true class for me.
My first ever character in world of warcraft was towards the end of vanilla, i was about 8 years old and made a warlock gnome, im 23 now and im planning to do the same, the game has always had me hooked so i am beyond excited for this.
But your 23 now. The amount of time vanilla took... is insane, if you hold down a job, get out and... live your life, you don’t have much to gain from it.
@@factbeaglesarebest lol thats a horrible argument lmao
soul elevation96 is it? Vanilla wow, even when it was at its highest population took easily the hours of near a full time job per weeek to get anywhere near being able to be productive and geared. You can currently get to 20 in WoW in the time it took to hit level 3 on vanilla/

It's amazing how unique classes used to be. Hunter was my very first class and it felt fun and special to me, but now I can play any class and feel nothing for them. Now most classes have slows, stuns, heals - things that used to give a class value - but it's not like Blizz can just reverse those "balanced" changes because then everyone would start complaining that their class is useless now, they can't stun anyone, they died because they lost their self-heal, etc. I'm looking forward to the class fantasy coming back in Classic! I think this time I'll choose a priest (and then a mage and a hunter).
back when the wow economy made sense, can't wait to start playing
Bro, best class choosing guide iv seen by far. Keep it up man!

I hope i had more time now to invest in Vanilla but you can't really do that now with a job and a social life :). Anw you're gonna have a blast.
you are making the right choice. stay away from retail~!
@@someguy3508 Yeah I came in like a year before TBC and stopped playing around the time WotLK released. To go into the Outlands for the first time again... baby steps, I'll be thoroughly enjoying my first Deadmines re-visit :D
This video was so interesting, well made, nostalgic and even sad at some points that I completely lost track of time. I didn't even realise that I was watching for 1 hour. Great job, keep up the good work, you just gained a new subscriber!
I stood around for that ad at the end just for you man. Respect!
If you play a caster, you get a ranged slot for a Wand weapon. They're more useful on priests and warlocks for solo damage, especially with some DoTs. Early on you get greater magic wand, then you get a really good one in the Blackfathom Deeps dungeon from a quest, that one will last you to the 50's.
23:30 holy shit that brought back a memory i had forgotten until just now xD
Great, now I want to play all classes...
- Very good video;)
yeah i did that. but once you get deep into the 3rd reskilling of your hunter tree, (between pvp pet and survival hunter or high dmg raid hunter....) there is really no point anymore to go back to those puny single itemtype using petless excuses of other classes. hunters be imba, stranglethorn wubwub!
That priest transition with the music lined up with the rez. So epic😍. Really good editing
It's been a year since u release this video. I found it today and watch every second.
The various soundtrack used is amazing, one of best videos I saw from year no doubt
Ty for this!
Loved the Act 1 Diablo II music. Thanks!
Classic has been out for a week and I have like 3 classes at 10 but don't know my main yet. Came back to this video to see what I decide.
My recommendation is to get 1 to 60 and just focus one at a time. Example a show priest at level 10 may outdamage a lvl 10 mage. But at 60 that completely changes. Each class has it's own ppwerspikes and cant judge what you will want based off a level 10. Go with what you would want to in real life. What role your heart desires. You wont regret it
Same and I still haven't decided. I might just quit.
Thank you for this MadSeason! Such great explanations. This was great to watch, even just for the nostalgia (still can't believe it's coming back!). Playing modern WoW in the background while watching/listening, I realized that a huge part of the reason I still play today is because of the deeply ingrained memories I have of the feeling of challenge and camaraderie I experienced back in the days of Vanilla and TBC.
We are so back
Darkest Dungeon, Path of Exile, and Diablo 2 music!
So much for a WoW vid.. xD
Don't forget Chrono Trigger!

This was so interesting, I sat through the whole vid. I usually don't do that with most ten minute vids.
Omg yea
~1 year into classic and still can't decide T_T
Love the video though! It certainly helped me narrow some classes down and let me try some that I thought I'd hate. I genuinely appreciate the effort poured into the video and I hope the Rank 14 grind is going well.
I was never going to have time for end-game raiding, so the experience was all about multiple toons and world exploration.
Thanks for making this video. You answered my exact question. "everyone is diving so deep into the classes. I'm gonna play super casually, what should I play?" and I come across this gem.
