      @@madseasonshow Nice videos, the only things that come to my mind that you left out are these two: The Troll's Beast Slaying is actually useful in pvp againt shapeshifted druids, because they are beasts, and the second is that Devouring Plague is overrated because priest and paladins can cleanse it easily which is a huge mana waste for the undead priest. Anyway nice touch on the Taruen melee range stuff, it is something that people usually forget to mention. I liked that you talked about the Gnome and Tauren sizes as well, I never really thought about that it can be an advantage or disadvantage so it was helpful.

And in the events of the Sundering novel, many Grimtotem defected to the Horde. Additionally, Outlaw is a pirate themed spec more or less, and many pirate NPCs are tauren.

    Touch of Weakness for UD priests can also proc blackout since it does a small amount of shadow damage when an attacker hits you. Also something you could add as an UD shadow priest to make your devouring plague much more efficient is only using it with inner focus. It of course won't get the added 25% chance to crit, but it will make a very mana consuming spell free! Plus they are both 3min CDs so you can have a free Devouring Plague all the time!! Power to the Forsaken!! Great vid man!

      You can definitely do a lot of 5 mans with a decent healer. You won't ever be doing raids, unless you're in a very casual guild, or you're doing old content that your guild has progressed past. But hey, the game really was about playing it the way you wanted to back then. Classes were really diverse and had a lot of unapparent potential. Now they're all watered down and everyone has an ability for everything.

  • @metouw

    Awesome guide-series! Thank you.
    Back in vanilla I was just a kid that could barely speak any english, but I did play quite a lot of WoW (like a chicken without a head I reckon, lol. At least for the first period of time). I started out making an orc shaman that I leveled to 60. However over time I got very jealous of taurens. The extra HP, the cool feeling of playing a big buff character (lol yeah it's primitive, but that's how I felt) and of cause... the war stomp! It got so bad that I made a new shaman, this time a tauren. Taking the leveling time back in vanilla into consideration people thought I was crazy. Though it was my main in the many years to come with WoW and I never regretted that decision. War stomp is so good for PvP. I also raided, but only to get better gear for PvP, lol. It was my great passion. I loved the big WF procs, so when the option to dual wield was added later into vanilla for shamans it was with mixed feelings for me. It was better to DW in regards to dps, but it just didn't have the same "lol, did you see that? That kid just got deleted!"-effect on me.
    Okay, back to choice of race. Shamans ate spell casters for lunch back in vanilla (and still does?). Especially in regards to offensive spells with casting time, like a shadow bolt. Normally I would rotate earth shock (spell interrupt) --> grounding totem (spell absorb) --> earth shock (since ES had like a 6s CD). However as tauren you could expand that rotation to ES --> GT --> ES --> War stomp --> ES. Of cause PvP is very dynamic and this example is over simplified, but man I gave those spell casters a hard time (at least in my own memories ;D ). Doing this rotation while spamming purge (removing all their magic buffs, such as shields and hots) basically killed the spell casters before they could do much. If you wanted to go full a**hole you got the tidal charm trinket (instant 3s stun) and went engineering for thorium grenades (skill shot based item that "repentance" the target for 3s aka another interrupt) and added those to your cycle. It was pretty GG for casters at that stage.
    The point is that war stomp fits the shaman kit very well for PvP. It's also very nice if you need to buy extra time for team members or get a "free" spell off yourself. I remember being quite disappointed with orc''s stun resist... but maybe it was way better than I felt back then. However I'm quite convinced I would go tauren again if I pick shaman for classic.

    Ok about the Tauren "tank" I know almost 99 % of the people laugh at that. Back in vanilla I had Tauren Shammy and I had similar build, I did sort of experiment, most people laughed at me when they saw my talents until they dueled me. In almost every case I defeated them especially against warriors and rogues. First they said I was lucky, then 2nd duel - same result, 3rd duel - same result. People were just "WTF how this noob can even survive that long". That war stomp saved my skin against rogues so many times I lost count. With that extra 5 % health in vanilla it was a huge deal and that shield with the Stoneskin Totem gave a lot of armor against melee attacks. For me personally the rogues were the greatest challenge to beat, but with this kind of hybrid build increased my success rate with probably 50 % than otherwise. It really depended what class you are against. It was almost impossible (unless you are max geared) to be better against every class. Every class had different tactics to use if you are fighting against it, so I usually changed items and used different spells against different classes (which most people didn't bother to do). It was so bizarre when I posted somewhere in forums that I started making screenshots every time when I was dueling or doing PvP to show people because nobody believed otherwise, then they were like "OMG how is this possible" and in many cases I fought against higher level players (I was 55 and even fought 59-60 lvl and won). I think I still have the screenshots I have to check my old stuff, it will be nice throwback to see them again. I have to check also the talents I used, maybe I will try it again when Classic is released.
    My point is just because something looks weird, even funny by the mainstream opinion, doesn't mean it's bad. If you haven't tried it, how do you know it's bad choice? Back then also many builds required some practice, so at first it will seem off and hard, but when you get used to it is the opposite.
    I think there was very good case with a warrior ( I don't remember if it was the beta or after patch 1.0) because the warriors were considered as the worst PvP class, but this guy kept going and proved that it was actually OP and then Blizz patched it out later. So yeah, sometimes even the weirdest thing can be a thing if you know what you are doing and mastered it. That was the beautiful thing about Vanilla, the whole point was to master the way you like to play the game and stick with it. If you use a common build but have no idea or interest to know how to use your abilities, no matter how good the build is, you will still be mediocre in the best case. Can't wait for the Classic.

  • @SilverforceX
    @SilverforceX 5 років тому +2

    There's a simple rule in vanilla, if your class can be Orc, roll Orc (for PvP focus). Stun is the most OP effect in classic PvP, and being randomly 25% resistant to it means you have a 25% chance to wreck a lot of classes that rely on their important stun moves.
    For example, a Rogue vs Warrior, can be 50-50, but against an Orc Warrior, it's like 25-75. Or Rogue vs Hunter, Orc Hunter wins 90%. It's game breaking racial against classes that rely on stun.

My reason, however, for choosing troll over undead...I didn't want to be an ugly undead, I thought trolls were much more attractive (yes, you have full permission to laugh at that reasoning and call me a typical female).

  • @jedison2441

    I put cannibalize a bit higher in PVP since a lot of classes don't have self healing. Especially within Battlegrounds when fighting multiple enemies there isn't always healer available. Even if you do carry pots and have bandages they won''t be enough to top you off alone. Still a great list and good tips.

  • @IamNemoN01
    @IamNemoN01 5 років тому

    When I was leveling my Undead Rogue I had a macro that would cannibalize before going into stealth. I found that if I didn’t macro the two together, I would forget all about cannibalize. But once I had macroed them together it was amazing how often it was getting used. It was like eating free food after each kill.
    When I got into endgame content, however, I decided to scrap the macro, because for some reasons [sometimes] cannibalize would break you out of stealth. Which was kinda weird because it was only some of the time. But it was just enough to mess you up in PVP where you can’t afford to mess up your own stealth attempt.
    I do the same with macroing Pick Pocket with Sap. And again, it’s amazing how much Gold you accumulatively make if you pickpocket every single time you sap an enemy. However, as I remember Sap put you in combat in a Vanilla, so that macro won’t be quite as good in Classic. However it will still make some extra gold because you’re still going to have to Sap, so why not make some gold every time you do. The difference is that you won’t be sapping EVERYTHING in Classic, unless you also want to fight everything. On the other hand, sometimes Sap puts you in combat in retail as well. Just not often.
    Macroing Sap with Pickpocket will also be good in Classic considering how much harder it is to make gold while leveling in the first place. Every piece of copper counts, and that little bit you make pickpocketing can be that much you don’t need to spend on repairs and things like that.

    I believe you missed one thing that is something to keep in mind.
    I could be wrong, but i don't feel like rewatching both videos to correct myself if such is the case.
    The troll racial, for those of you that might be looking to include that into your caster of various forms.
    Keep in mind that the increased casting speed does NOT change the mana-cost of any spell/ability.
    Sooo, with that said rely to much on the haste and you might just find yourself moving towards "oom" faster then other healers.
    Alot of people will obviously think about this already, but i'm pretty sure not everyone does.
    Thus i feel this comment is justifyed.
    Good video overall!

I'm not entirely sure when they added it to the game via talents, but I'm pretty confident it wasn't an option for the first part of vanilla. Also it did not have that minimum 100% run speed buff back then either. Don't get me wrong I was a huge shaman main myself between vanilla til the end of wotlk... but cast time on GW... man that's a bummer lol.

    @khatack 5 років тому

    You have to take into account that while the orc stun resist helps you against classes that are much more dangerous against a warlock, WotF works 100% of the time. Also, you don't have to "allign stars" to get that cannibalize off during fear; it's actually pretty common occurrence. I really can't say whether UD is better than ORC because that stun resist does really help against the second most lethal warlock killers in the game, but WotF allows you to DOMINATE against all other warlocks and priests. It's again one of those preference things.

    Actually i'd argue for shaman enhance DPS (Nightfall in the raid) that Orc is better, cuz the wep skill allows u to not get 3% hit on ur gear, giving u a lot more options on items that would instead give u MP5 / agi / int. The berserking doesn't give that many extra hits compared to not having it, and since there's a low chance for the proc already, i'd really go with the orc instead. It's overall more effective and gives more damage overall and helps with gearing more
