If you're new here, I raid in Classic WoW every Tuesday Night @ 8PM CST and I'm very excited for Burning Crusade and I'm going to be making some videos to get ready for that as well :D I might try and really push it now that I got the weapon in Raid soon. Maybe next week!
I saw your WoW-Classic tweet earlier and it could be about anyone but my comment was poking fun if you saw it too, and you're the only WoW guy that entertains me and helps ease stress so I wanted to make this message. It wasn't related to WoW but I can tell you've been working hard even with the bug and I know the ailment by itself can be stressing, so I hope this message can help ease a little pain/anxiety. I hope you fully recover and get all your energy back because nobody is like you and you make a lot of people's lives a little easier to get through, especially depressed/poor people that are having trouble getting ahead. You're the only Streamer who's ever given me the vibe of knowing real shit people've had to live through in life and it makes you relatable, even loved. You are ESPECIALLY the only streamer I consistently watch and not feel like I'm wasting mental energy, and for people having it rough, whatever the reason, I thank them on your behalf. I had a period of six months with an even harder 2 following, were life was really hard for family/health reasons that I shouldn't get into but you and my dogs helped minimize the crying and breakdowns of feeling helpless and unable to fix anything. I don't know if I have the right words to help you but I'm saying them from the heart, with on-screen keyboard because the real one's broke, if that helps. Don't worry about being perfect if you feel things or people are being difficult. Nobody can please everyone, but you find time with this sickness to be there for a number of people that is a reach larger than 99% of other peoples' on this planet. Some of those people really need you and your jokes and warmth but they're NOT entitled to it, yet you still find time with a new sickness we don't completely understand yet. What I want to say last is that you and I have a lot of things in common (admittedly only things I've seen on the surface) and we're only a few months apart in age, and that makes me feel better because I was feeling everything about myself and a lot of my interests were becoming irrelevant, then came the new 30ish-y/o boomer meme. That stung a little after 2 years, feeling like life is passing by along with all my potential. You reminded me that we all have a lot of life left in us to figure things out and we can finish it how we want, without feeling like a bunch 30 year old 'boomers' with aging interests and stagnant/irrelevant ideas, without feeling desperately unable to help your ailing family. The same goes for the youngers that watch; we all have untapped potential and happiness. Thanks for reminding me I'm human too man, and that we all deserve peace of mind. I just want you to be happy and healthy, with plenty of time to rest and think on things. I'm so sorry for this message being all over the place. Have insomnia at the moment so I've been awake 30 hours and the keyboard problem doesn't help. You're a nice person that doesn't get enough recognition. Here's a billion symbolic hugs buddy. An EsFan PS ---the reason I didn't mention the sickness' name is because I didn't know if it would hurt the algorithm
I played WoW from late '07 to early 2010 and it was genuinely one of the best parts of my life. I want to play Classic a lot but I'm afraid I'll get addicted because of my tendencies. The only reason I quit back then was rage-quitting from not getting a drop 10 times in a roll (the last time was because of a tank rolling need on a primarily DPS item) and finding other things more addicting. Now it has the pull of nostalgia though.
if you find the right people, yes the competitive landscape has become a bit toxic tho a lot of guilds play and optimize for parsing and clearing times I consider joining dragonflight but only on a Hord RP/PvP realm, my main objective is just to log on and have fun these days
They run like 8 raid teams and move people into his raid temporarily after they get a big item, rotating through. The donations people send to Esfand basically fund the guild's flasks and consumes non-stop... soooo... streamers gotta stream, you know? The people demand a ret paladin. We have one in my guild; he heals in naxx (as holy) but he gets first prio for PvP gear (for ret) right after the DPS, and healing gear (for a healer) right after the other classes. We only run one raid, and it works out. Guy never misses a raid.
@Phuk Hyutoob Not getting scraps - your mats are often paid for dude; it's free high-level raiding a lot of times. You don't have to farm, you have multiple dependable raids downing content, and you can spend all your remaining gold on GDKP bullshit if you want. I've done it before, it can actually get you a pretty significant gear advantage. Especially in progression compared to a lot of guilds that struggle pretty hard with farming. (And let's face it, that's the majority of guilds that -try- to raid Naxx.)
@@gwendolynerosehand54 I think you're wrong on that one. 2h fury slam build is worse than comparable dw, but the difference isn't that high. MoM would make it more than a zg weapon dw warrior methinks. But I'd need to see parses.
@@EsfandTV you gave me the drive to go for Rank 14 after I got Scarab Lord in Classic. Can't wait to watch you get Gladiator in TBC to push me to get it too!
I'm actually not sure exactly what it was because I tried it later and it worked, maybe it was the word "drops" I don't know haha, but still super funny
Never ever saw it back in vanila. And now it's everywhere xD But tbh, pvp in classic With AQ and NAX gear is complete garbage. Everyone just 1 shots everyone.. Total garbage.
@@EsfandTV it's also the fact that those who did clear naxx, were 100% commited into pve and basically had no time to roam around the world or do pvp. Becouse even if the few who did clear content back then, they weren't doing it as efficiently as now..So there was no time to spare..
Hello Esfand! Can you please make a video killing "normal" enemies in Silithus or so showing the damage potential of Menethil? And with different seals? I like to see it with crusader seal. Thank you very much.
Hey guys just coming back to WoW and following people I see all good guys still stream...but does Swifty??..or is just Twitch now..noticed last video was like 8 months ago?? Just asking..
vanilla ret paladin is hella good against melle , but sadly gets wheelchaired against any caster or ranged that can kite. there the totall bane of melle though with reck bombs.
@@EsfandTV mmm i just remember playing on private servers and seeing them get wheelchaired by kiting classes (in duels and duel tournies), but hey ! I diddnt see to many with your gear level! So yeah im looking forward to seeing more esfand , take care .
@@yeoldmedic7572 you just need to improve. LoS is your best friend in open world pvp vs ranged and engi/alchemy stuff. Just running after them and attack doesn't work.
God I miss this game. You're a newage legend. May your might be proclaimed through all of the Burning Crusade. Hope to gank you in the far future. All my best.
In classic wow you can trade epic boe items with all group members who participated in the fight for 2 hours after the boss was killed. Its only possible in raids tho, not in normal dungeons. This is possible because gm‘s had to deal with too many false loot assignments in raids
Might of Menethil is the strongest weapon that exists before Burning Crusade, and if you get it, you're basically, automatically a god. I believe that MOM is superior for paladins, Ashbringer (due to the rage from sword-specialization, the life-steal, and warriors actually having the health to survive with -25 stamina) is superior for warriors. The rage from Ashbringer (because of it's huge damage range) when you get a sword-spec proc is.. basically a free auto-attack damage, a free mortal strike, and a free hamstring. And it has a life-steal that doesn't scale with a paladin's spell damage.
@@gwendolynerosehand54 thank you for explaining I had no idea what was so good about the weapon since I don't play wow but I hope you have a great life!
really sucks watching someone effortlessly get things in a game you love and have struggled with so much over the years..really puts things into perspective for me, we are not playing the same game at all.
@@EsfandTV just shows how your parents raised you. good parents would have taught you to not talk to ppl like this no matter what they say. you should do better.
"I FINALLY GOT IT!!! This is the first end boss weapon I've gotten in current tier in all of classic lol" - doesnt esfand have hand of rag and thunderfury wtf?

if you find the right people, yes
the competitive landscape has become a bit toxic tho
a lot of guilds play and optimize for parsing and clearing times
I consider joining dragonflight but only on a Hord RP/PvP realm,
my main objective is just to log on and have fun these days
must have been so good! I wish I played it but i was too young.
Paladin weapon for sure, it has the name 'Menethil' in it. Fitting.
Beep, Beep! THE MENETHIL PORT AUTHORITY IS HERE!
@@gwendolynerosehand54Shit, hide the skooma and snuff!
9:46 that beam sound man, its juicy
It must suck to be a warrior in this guild

I mean would a fury war even use this?
@@TheD1rtyRider For PvP maybe, it's got really good stamina on it, but not for DPS, no. Even shit tier 1-handers from ZG would be superior DPS.

Esfand just grabs every good item in the game .. lmao xD
Pretty much my entire raid group is stacked at this point, most of us have been raiding since week 2 of Classic, it's just how it goes lol
@@EsfandTV you have all the legendary weapons, might of menethil and corrupted ashbringer.
@@Permuh have you seen how much esfand actually does for his guild? UA-cam frogs man...
@@EsfandTV you gave me the drive to go for Rank 14 after I got Scarab Lord in Classic. Can't wait to watch you get Gladiator in TBC to push me to get it too!
Wow! You guys give gaming a bad name.
14:09 A MAN OF SUPREME TASTE, WAS LEGENDARY MY FRIEND, BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY SINCE LIGHTS HOPE SWITCH
must be good getting all that steamer loot
true
yeah no shit.
When did Ron Jeremy start streaming? =)
It's his son, Esfand the Sex Cult Leader
Gratz! Thunderfury, Corrupted Ashbringer.. and now MoM.. You have officially beaten WoW classic! :)
Didnt realize there were so many BiS ret weps for rets.
spoiler: there are even more BiS ret weps for hunters.
Warrior was the lootwhore this time around. They even made a song about them taking everything down to cloth healing gear. 🤣
I was just watchin the ashebringer vid gz dude❤️
"No one even died" That voice though.. Thank you.
getting back in 07 was impressive , these days with all the knowledge and streamer crap going on not so much
Poggies Esfy you deserve it! Keep making great content!
And he couldnt type Might of Menethil on TWITCH predictions because... you know, Twitch things...
Why?
Because he gendered the Might of MENethil or some dumb shit lol.
@@ctg4818 Ahh yes, the might of men. Truly offensive lol
I'm actually not sure exactly what it was because I tried it later and it worked, maybe it was the word "drops" I don't know haha, but still super funny
This day in age with all the snowflakes that title would definitely hurt someone's feelings
Gratz on the weapon Esfand, kinda curious how much will you hit for in prepatch with Seal Twisting.
Seeing it everywhere in AV. It hurts. Even my boomy body and 60% reduc from armor can't survive the little hammer ^^
Never ever saw it back in vanila.
And now it's everywhere xD
But tbh, pvp in classic With AQ and NAX gear is complete garbage.
Everyone just 1 shots everyone.. Total garbage.
@@akhsdenlew1861 Yeah it's just because there's so many more naxx clears already in Classic than there ever were in Vanilla
@@EsfandTV it's also the fact that those who did clear naxx, were 100% commited into pve and basically had no time to roam around the world or do pvp.
Becouse even if the few who did clear content back then, they weren't doing it as efficiently as now..So there was no time to spare..
Now i need to see a enhance shaman with it
I quit Classic (it was dominating my thoughts too much outside game), but man was it fun while it lasted. this was cool to see. Take care, Esfand.
Hello Esfand! Can you please make a video killing "normal" enemies in Silithus or so showing the damage potential of Menethil? And with different seals? I like to see it with crusader seal. Thank you very much.
I feel like whenever he announces something is going to drop it drops lmao. it is almost like he saying " HEY BLIZZ YOU SEEING THIS? MAKE IT HAPPEN"
Unfortunately UA-cam doesn’t have enough space to handle all the clips of me saying it’s gonna drop and it doesn’t
Hi Esfand!!! I do not enough playing mmos but you make it fun to look at!!!
What's the song that starts at like 14:10? I hear it on wow streams all the time..
You need a signature hype song to play behind the cold open before the cut to black
9:47 so badass.
@Esfand please rearrange your bags so the Ony bags are all together and the panther bag is off to one end. It's killing my OCD
Lmao
Grats!!!!!!!
Another fine addition to my collection
Grats Esfand!🙌
Thank you!
@@EsfandTV I got MoM last night too! And i was holy pala lmao !

Massive grats finally got it!
Ron Jeremy playing wow popped in my algorithm
That matches Warrior T3 so much
vanilla ret paladin is hella good against melle , but sadly gets wheelchaired against any caster or ranged that can kite. there the totall bane of melle though with reck bombs.
Nah it’s not that bad vs range. Mages are kind of stupid at this point, but it’s not too terrible

Then what was the point of getting Rank 14 and Ashbringer?
legacy achiev and the one of the most badass weapons in the game
Because as new patches and new content comes out, better weapons come out. Ashbringer's an RP weapon, we have 4 of them in our raid.
Ashbringer wasn't good enough?
Ashbringer's an RP weapon, we've gotten 4 of them. Might of Menethil is the best weapon.
@@EsfandTV Fair enough, hope you have fun with it.
All the warriors gotta dump their salt while they can. Once tbc drops they get the classic ret treatment
Is McConnell still playing??..he'll be happy..😆
Whats the gachi song in Blackrock Spire? Also congrats my dude
God I miss this game. You're a newage legend. May your might be proclaimed through all of the Burning Crusade. Hope to gank you in the far future. All my best.
" newage legend".. LOL
What's wrong with the word drop? I don't get it...
This guy is one of Ron Jeremy's sons.
dude i just went to bet before you guys pull KT and the friking mace drop holyfishmolly congratz
Haha
B
Pepe Overlord is pleased with this video
Noob question, I don't get how they can trade bind on pick up items. What am I missing? Granted it's been like 10+ years since I've pkayed

Are you going to try a repentance ret build as well or just stick to reckoning?
That's usually what I play, but now that I got MoM it's really strong in reckoning while in battlegrounds.
Wait, is MoM better than hand of rag?
Why do all of you haters even comment on Esfand's vids? To make yourselves feel better? Geez get a life guys
Yeah man, people always have an opinion when they're jelly.
You finally got MoM - grats, Esfand!
must be nice... months of killing Naxx on my ret and we havnt seen a single Ashbringer or MoM ...ugh...
Hes got Corrupted Ashbringer, why the heck would he also need Might of Menethil.
Those Stats on the Weapons are Way Better than Normal Warcraft (retail) Weapon Stats all the way upto Shadowlands and After :(
Grand Marshall's GS still the BEST looking weapon of the entire game
hes basically holding a truck for a weapon
Of course he gets it all.
What is that song I.D. I always forget
Frick of Frickethil
name of the raid frame addon?
Can someone tell me what player frame addon Esfand is using? :)
Too bad a warrior didn't get it
No
It does more on ret pally than warriors because it’s 2h and a 2h warr is grief.
Esfand you are the only streamer I respect
I'm still running around with Zin'rokh. Sadge
That sword was with me for ages. The memories! Butt ugly though.
Yay supermario got the big hammer 🥰
I never knew Ron Jeremy played WoW!
this is way better than a priest getting a healing atiesh lol
It was just reward for loyal G Member,why people being so sore :/
@@AvNox. honestly I don't understand it either it's to the point of insanity. People just watching a streamer they hate. Like just don't, lol
It’s not like they won’t be able to complete content without an optimal atiesh user, people complaining about who gets legendaries is kinda wack.
I would never trade you that btw
how does Twitch have "drops" for games and also bann that word??
As a warrior with a phase 6 BRE I am very jealous
How are you able to trade a BOP item?
omfg this brings back some memories....
So Esfand magicly get the best weps in the game .. ashbringer etc .. AND he also have the mount ? :D .. sure sure :D
Is it the best because of the 2% crit?
Highest damage and slow speed.
What a goddamn monster of a weapon
whats the addon that shows enemy cds?
the gasp got me
Fire ress aura in lava? :)
is that damage even legal?
Lol that initial reactor lmao hello funny
Yo ES whats happening next week ?
Can you imagine at 15 % vengeance bonus insane
I didn't know Ron Jeremy played wow.
You get wings prepatch...
The salt fields are plentiful and abundant today. Look on and into the horizon, the chat section of this video emerges. We eat tonight boys.
Cheeseburger with ravioli
I cant't believe they wasted another awesome weapon on a Retri.
Some meta rat get salty here
I can’t believe your parents wasted their lives raising you, but hey anything can happen
@@EsfandTV how you gonna global this poor man like that
@@EsfandTV just shows how your parents raised you. good parents would have taught you to not talk to ppl like this no matter what they say. you should do better.
Esfand skipped the whole Olympus crap and made the best progress in classic compared to Asmon & MCConnell
Grats Esfand!
What about Dark edge of insanity?
Dark edge is really good becasue of the proc. Specially if you have r12 and go deep ret
"I FINALLY GOT IT!!! This is the first end boss weapon I've gotten in current tier in all of classic lol" - doesnt esfand have hand of rag and thunderfury wtf?
I got hand of Rag in BWL and Thunderfury’s not an end boss weapon
Damn dude making me want to play classic since shadowlands is so shit atm
Dude you are a scarab lord?
carried sl
Classic ret pally powa!MoM crits are crazy.
I feel like Hand of Ragnaros is better though.
you raid has seen 6 kiss of the spiders?! we have seen 1 and 1 blade D: our rng is awful
Yeah we got really lucky on some stuff and not lucky on others
Mate how much ill need for this
do they have a rl anime girl in guild ? :)
Why wouldn't you give that to a dps class.
Because noone else in the raid is using a 2 hander in raid except for me.
Streamer ret with corrupted ashbringer replaces corrupted ashbringer
how to get loot, be a famous streamer
