Clamweaving is the art of maximizing DPS by incorporating the unique benefits of clams into your rotation. It’s not just about timing or execution; it's about understanding the intricate dance between your abilities and the consumables you choose to enhance them. By weaving clams into your playstyle, you unlock a new level of power, a synergy that elevates your damage output to unprecedented heights. When I come home, the world fades away. The stresses of the day dissolve as I log in, my focus laser-sharp on one thing: clamweaving. Each session is a journey, a quest for perfection where every second counts and every action is meticulously calculated. It's in these moments that I find my true self, my purpose. Clamweaving isn't just a hobby; it's my passion, my drive, my life. The satisfaction of seeing your DPS soar, of watching bosses fall under the relentless assault of a perfectly executed clamweaving rotation allowing for the removal of the GCD, is unparalleled. It's a testament to the hours of practice, the dedication to mastering every nuance of this technique. Clamweaving is more than a strategy; it's a philosophy of continuous improvement, of pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. So to all the Death Knights out there, seeking to maximize their potential, to find that elusive edge that sets them apart - embrace clamweaving. Dive into the complexities, master the intricacies, and let it transform your gameplay. In the world of WoW, clamweaving isn’t just the best thing ever - it’s everything.
I do remember there was a sword that dropped in Northrend, it was a grey item, but had no level requirement. You could send it to your level 1 and level with it, or twink out your 19 character. It eventually got patched, RIP Abandoned Greatsword
had it on my lvl 1 warrior bank alt with crusader on it. eneed up lvl1 twinking the char because of this sword, it was a blast dueling in front of orgrimmar
Hell yeah the quenched blade. It had an item level of 200, but no level req, and rend for warriors used item level for damage, you could have DoT ticks for 900+ damage
@@eddiepatch2 of course! Khend is a mainstay in our guild, and always has been. Glad to hear he’s still kicking ass with y’all :) rip sulf. Good times. I was Moriko the prot pala back in tbc
there was a point in classic vanilla where the item ectoplasmic distiller from the t0.5 quest chain would provide crazy threat for some reason. was a fun couple weeks on the warrior(tank) discord
Back in vanilla WOTLK a shaman spec called "Spellhance" was a thing. Where you would wear a mix of +Spell Damage items and regular enh gear and use fiery weapon for damage. Also Vezzax hardmode was trivialized with this approach. As an enh shaman could use shamanistic rage to refill his mana and nullify the boss mechanic. I figured out the Vezzax part without reading any guides, made me so proud of myself when they patched it out.
as a new player I happened to be looking at some wiki page about something fishing related a few months ago and read about clamweaving, I laughed and said "it's insane what people will do to minmax", I had no idea it was fake hahaha
this reflects the spirit of classic wow so well. back when you'd hear a rumor about the game from a friend or guild mate that was right on the edge of belief and disbelief
When I saw the description of that item in SoD, I was convinced that it was a reference to something specific. I glad to now know how what it was all about.
I remember this clamweaving. It was my first expansion my roommate told me this and thought it was bs. I didn't really want to farm clams so I never really got past 30 clams haha
Murlocs do SOMETHING to the clams, but it's unclear whether it can be called "weaving" or whether it's appropriate to bring it up in polite discussion.
Would be a bigger joke if it sometimes worked in a new dungeon , i found BC dungeons way too short - and yes mobs are better but still more unitressting content - like a wave of zombies would be doomstyle
Some of them definitely did, especially those who respecced and tested the clams (though it’s possible that even some of them just assumed they were doing it wrong), but not every DK tested it. Some just took it at face value and refused to even try it, claiming it to be too degenerate of a strategy and some figured that if it was real, it would only be a matter of time before it was patched out. Most importantly though, there were several players (whether did it purposefully or not) who perpetuated the lie, claiming that they had performed the glitch or seen others do it. The drastic mix in responses (plus the coverage from content creators who took the bait) made it so that very few people absolutely knew for sure that it was fake. That being said, this was also a rather short lived period, as the confession came just about a day after the initial post. With enough time, most people would’ve caught on and realized it wasn’t real.
All it took was one person to share the Reddit post in the Blight Club discord before it started to catch on. I believe that the absurdity of clams causing such a crazy bug really helped to catch people’s eyes, but that it was the writing and thoroughness of the post that convinced people that it was worth testing.
I hate mathematically optimal gaming. First of all, it’s boring as hell, secondly it requires you *play* mathematically optimal as well to actually be correct, and since you probably have your own flaws and mistakes in how you play, having a game style that suits you will often be way better than having one that would suite a theoretical perfect player.
evn if it were working, people that care about such thing truly dont get how patches work and how futile their efforts were. getting an unfair advantage is seen more worthwhile than learning and getting better at the game
New players are the last people who should be thrown straight into lvl 55. New players should experience the game and learn a bit before they get the hero class. This is some ass-backwards thinking on Blizz part.
90 Seconds in and I no longer believe this is about classic, instead one of the WoW expansions. Nothing personal mate, just some feedback for somebody who clicked expecting classic (i havent played expansions)
You're confusing the term "classic" with "vanilla". Several expansions have been re-released under the banner of "classic". Creator very clearly states in that first 90 seconds ttia is about 2022 re-release of WotLK. Known as Classic. 2004 version was vanilla. Not classic. Nothing personal, just some feedback for a commenter who clicked expecting something different from what the title indicates.

Man, they should have bought thousands of Jaggal Clams before doing this, imagine the profits!
Very high quality video for very few subs, to the top with you I foresee it. Keep it up!
It's amazing when stuff like this happens

I've seen the clam prices being high and I saw the word clamweaving at some point, It all makes sense now lol. Great video!
this is hilarious. I can just imagine the raid leader going "STOP OPENING FUCKING CLAMS WHEN WE ARE TRYING TO PROGRESS" xD
Thank you for the video! I remember hearing about this. I loved it.
well made video, nicely explained even for the people that dont play wow
My left ear loved this video
You have a criminally low sub count for the quality of your vids!
This was a great social experiment. Hilarious.
Missing the AH boom for clams must have been like not buying bitcoin.

They should make a hearthstone card of it
maybe our real friends are the clams we weaved along the way
i was there . we need fresh again sit like that makes the game
seems like a good way to get something good patch fixed lol
Reminds me of the old clam stacking meme.
i made soo much gold farming fucking clams at lvl 20 and i had no clue why at the time, i just knew they where going for 1g ea
holy shit this is a banger video

magic happens when you play classic wow
fun video
