It's sad that the work this animator has done can make me feel more for WoW then blizzard has for the past 7 years. Really puts things into perspective
True, true, true, I miss the feeling of playing the paladin in Vanilla, BC, Wrath and well...the immersive Paladin experience faded over the years and I miss it so much.
Probably because it reminds us of a time when wow devs actually had clarity of vision and genuine passion for their craft. The iconic music and visuals are a big part of that
@@johnkillingsworth5135 If you really liked playing ret, I hope you played wod, because that was the best iteration of ret pala in the history of the game, imo. Legion wasn't even close, and I know people like to circlejerk that one out.
As a ret paladin this is 100% accurate. We cleans the lands with our weapons and abilities given to us by the blessed light. And we will bring down wrath on those who shun the light.
@@retro3856 Yes but literaly every paladin in the game having it was a mistake and diminished the interest of players to get it, and made it less cool.
@@archdruidbookwalter951 Yeah it was great. I didn't even play in vanilla through Wrath and I was still cheering with my friend alongside the crowd when it appeared on the Legion reveal.
My favorite thing about these videos is that the straddle the line between shitposts and legitimately epic. The Frostmourne and Patrick the Pure videos are so ridiculously well-done that it's impossible to not feel even a little hype!
"This is ho Paladins really imagine themselves. That's what's so sad about it. They really think this is what they are. But actually they are just Patrick!" Cries in Esfand 0:24
"This is what Paladins believe" no, this is what they realistically would be if Blizzard was consistent. Warriors would be a starting class, levels 1-10 (MAYBE 15), and Paladin would be a prestige class. Warriors would never be more than mooks in-universe, there is no way they would have the strength, speed, senses and HP to compete, never mind special super snowflake abilities like deflect and reflect magic without something supernatural. Every other class gets a supernatural gimmick or companion beast, even rogues use shadow magic, but we're supposed to believe warriors match literal divinely empowered supermen and literal gods with 'mad skillz''. That is literally the argument. Every paladin in the lore was a warrior or priest first, or both, and the Light empowerment was a big deal, it basically took a bunch of priests to empower one warrior to become a Paladin. There is no way Uther, Saidan, Arthas or Mograine don't know all the stances and maneuvers and whatever other skills warriors get in the game, and every other Paladin in the game would need to have top warrior skills before the Church or the Silver Hand would bother investing in that kind of ritual. Death knight would realistically be treated the same way. Thanks to gameplay and story segregation, warriors are the literal mary sues of WoW - they only exist because Blizzard warps the universe so it denies magic deflection and weapon skills and everything else that various other classes should definitely have as well. And the inflated HP of course, Paladins have an excuse because the Light heals and empowers them, but 'mad skills' make a warrior capable of tanking nuclear fire blasts just because.
@@stu.chainz Zack asmon is basically a friend for a lot of people online, doesnt mean everyone has to be into mmo's like he is u can still love his content duh
I can tell you if you played the game and knew lore, it would be 10x more epic, just imagine that. Before the wings popped I was expecting it to happen.
@@stu.chainz not OP, but asmongold is basically my source of gaming, and sometimes not even just gaming, news. I can't stand reading news myself because it's deathly boring and i have to look for it.

Love his fromsoft series and I watch the ff14 story through him cause that actually seems pretty interesting but I'm too lazy to play it lol.
ironically, the reason that it was kinda epic is that the person who created it understand's WoW's aesthetic and vibe better than Blizzard seems to. WoW has a lot of really epic, cool shit in its lore.
Oh I recognize the music of Laurence the First Vicar from Bloodborne LMAO. At 1:00 EDIT: and now music of Oceiros The Consumed King kicks in at 6:00 Also, Dark Souls 3 main menu music at 8:13
just when you thought they couldnt get any less creative than they did with Demon Hunters, they bring out Dragon Evokers... that dont even look like Dragons, they look like DragQueens.
I actually thought a lot about what specs could they add if they decided to do that. I thought about dual wield or casters paladins, tank shamans, holy dps priest.
i hope the creater is geting hired and aid handsomely because not only is his editing skills amazing mathcing visual with music but also his imagination is off the charts
The warrior one would be like a duel I did versus a mage. First you raid and top dps pve in a clasic raid in full epics. Then you duel a green greared level 59 mage and spend the whole duel frozen to the ground, slowly dying to frostbolts, while that almost one-shottable mage never comes in reach. Then again, warrior rooted has been done I guess. What more is there to it?
I thought it was super wholesome how genuinely happy and excited McCool was after watching this video. I'm Illidari for life but always thought Pallys were super cool. Also Ashbringer is top 3 coolest weapons in the game imo
awesome that some guy in a basement can make such good cinematics/art when blizzard cant even produce the same quality or feels anymore. Like this literally brings back the feelings of paladins or deathknights(the other one lol)
ugh the music makes me so nostalgic for wow. its like an old friend who's just not the same anymore, in and out of jail. you have fond memories from high school but you don't talk anymore.
If they did another wow movie, i would want it to have focus on a paladin. They are badass. Rogue, warrior and hunter are all regular people with no actual magic(other than a few abilities but its not a focus of the class) Like a knights of the silverhand movie or something would be cool.
Healers DH is something i wanted since DH release, just rip soul shards off enemies and heal your allies with them or something. Evoker should of had a black dragon aspect tank spec.
In wrath, I was destroying AB as full holy in tank gear. It was the most amazing thing in the world. That was the most amazing time I had . Like 50-60k hp, 20k int ... I was holy shocking TF out of ally ... and the straight INT stacking with the mp5 at the time was HOLY BUCKETS level of fun. Maaan good times lmfao.. those winged holy shocks were like going super saiyain
I agree about the dragon class should have a tank spec. I mean isn't dragon scale damn near the same thing as plate armor? And honestly when it comes to the mages I would really like to see them do something like maybe with an Air spec, and give them the ability to turn into a bird like khadgar. And yes I know it's his staff that allows him to turn into a crow or a raven whatever he is. I'm just saying it would be cool to be able to do it as part of the spec
Ret Paladin fantasy: singlehandedly takes out the Army of the Dead, the Lich King, Sargeras and a Void Lord simultaneously. Ret Paladin in lore: Tirion goes to the broken shore, kills a whole bunch of nothing and *fucking dies.*

there is something of minute 8:27 that just...hit me diferent, like a living sculpture comming for the first time to life after the grand master that chiseled it obtained its muse and made it magnum opus, it move me to tears every fucking time
Patrick's connection to the light was so strong he turned duskwood back into brightwood. As it was before the curse of Karazhan fell upon it.
Lmao, no clue why no one else liked this.
He turned duskwood back into morningwood.
And that's how Patrick became the Ash Bringing Slasher.

The Audacity. With care.
Random Rupty detected, Moinsen!
I don't even play WoW but I know that Patrick, The Pure is one of the most central characters that changed the entire plot of WoW.
You know wow is dying when 2 people have more imagination and creativity than 100 people at blizzard....
Thats the reason why i play on private servers now.
They actually care for the game.
@Bloggers considering the current WoW feels like a slog compared to older stuff I can't really blame them.

Great to see the enthusiasm, now this requires to be implemented into our reality because the dark has been winning for too damn long.
I miss pre legion where the Ashbringer was actually a really loved NPC item in WoW and actually had story significance.
It still did in legion I’d argue the plot got it was even MORE important
Legion made it cool to upgrade and wield the Ashbringer.
But we decided to trade it in for Azerite
