Make sure to check out Alive's Discord (discord.gg/jrGwYTy). The guy knows his Vanilla!
He didn't play vanilla... he played private servers. I don't know how wowhead trusted him to write a guide when he didn't play it. Some of the things he said are inherently wrong.
I'm not bashing him bud... I'm pointing out a simple truth. The values on the private servers are different than blizzard's. Wowhead shouldn't be releasing guides based on private server data. As for you playing a warrior... good choice and I hope you have a blast.
@@doctordemento965 Such as?
He knows his private server vanilla, which as most people will find, has some very large differences. Private server vanilla, is NOT classic.
Most ppl play private server vanilla that have anything to say about vanilla. There weren't that many super knowledgeable ppl in vanilla wow because most ppl were still figuring stuff out when bc hit. I wouldn't say his info is wrong and he said multiple times that he's not sure if how things will work in retail vanilla because of differences in private servers. It's still a good foundation of knowledge to have for starting out in vanilla. It's not like he's preaching this stuff like it's gospel truths. Take it with a grain of salt but that's better than nothing imo.
This Series is so goddamn awesome, thanks a lot for your dedication Tips
thank you man
Minor correction. When talking about Alliance races, you guys forgot to mention the human's hidden racial ability. It reads: "Does not look like a gnome," and is FAR more powerful than all the gnome racial abilities combined.
Looking like a human will mean looking like 80% of the Alliance though.
Throttle yup my main was a gnome warlock in clasic
gnomes do stand out less in BG
Gnomes are great. Small size makes you look fast which always made leveling feel faster and smoother. Taurens on the other hand, Look amazing but the speed!
@@georgeegerog4175 gnomes think they stand out less, but in reality all horde players have an instinctual gnome awareness that triggers whenever a gnome is on their screen, causing them to go into a rage and attack the gnome relentlessly until it is dead
Sitting here binging vanilla videos waiting for classic
ONLY 2HRS BRUH
@@MrWhoever WE'RE GOING HOME!!! :D
Loving how informative this video was, 90 minutes just flew by! Definitely hitting the notification bell so I can catch the next one straight off the presses 😁
This guy looks like he’s about to say, “From my perspective the Jedi are evil!”
AintNothinButaZthanG was just talking about Star Wars like 5 min ago lmaoo
Great breakdown, I'm hoping you can make a priest video with the same formula. And keep it long and detailed, you guys went through everything and I wish there was more videos like this on each class
I was just thinking been a while since we had one of these ... really like these...
I don’t know if I’ll even have time to play classic but I love listening to this type of content. You (Tip) are calm and removed from your ego so I wouldn’t prefer any other facilitator.
Bra The Ele thanks bra, i appreciate the kind words
Yeah I like it too, I know you know a lot of stuff but you still ask so all us noobs can be included ^^
Mr. Zealous an ego represents your perception of yourself. In the context I was talking it has nothing to do with his knowledge. He does not try to insert his name or brand during the interview he allows the interviewee 100% of the time which is how it should be
Seems like everyone has their own preference on the best leveling spec. Most people want imp ds quickly, the guy in the video prefers a deeper demonology build and I prefer a glass cannon lifetap build.
It's all about the different strokes
Man I'm dying for that shaman deep dive.

I am AliveTv thanks for your time!
This right here is what I like to see Tips! Keep it up man, Classic will be here soon...
Pablo Sáenz thanks man! i hope so :)
thank you for these awesome and informative videos man. Keep it up. I can't wait for classic
Damn, this is some amazing content!
You’re an incredibly skilled host, and this is an amazing guest

Absolutely insane
Literally no one: ....
Tipsout: "There it is!"
This many people are watching an hour and a half deep dive on one class for classic WoW. I'm betting that just like vanilla launch, Blizzard is vastly underestimating the amount of interest in this game.
Thanks so much for the content Tips. I'm so hyped for classic. I've been out since Cataclysm, but I'm all in for classic. I just hope I can find a good guild with decent people. That's what I miss most about this game.
waiting for so long for this guy channel come up
I ran a warrior in vanilla wow at release and have decided I'll play a worlock in classic. Great guide, thanks.
Can’t wait for the priest, undead priest all day!
Damn you Tips Out, just when I don't have any urge to play classic WoW you go out and release this video. BLIZZARD PLEASE RELEASE CLASSIC!
Leveling a lock on northdale right now. It def has its ups and downs. I do prefer mages but locks get a pet and a free mount so i cant complain.
Horde or Alliance? I just hit Tarren Mill yesterday
@@jima6545 alliance!!
Can't... not... teleport...Tell my lock... I love her [South Park death noise]
Not completely free mount, the mats for the quest are expensive
@@tunaman44 40 is freeee
I am pleased to see that most of what i've done in my own time on my warlock back then was more or less correct :), Nice vid
Great video. Alive maybe isn't much of a PVPer but is there a chance of doing a follow up that is Warlock PVP focussed? I don't raid but I love PVPing and a spec/gear/strategy in depth video for Warlock PVP would be great as it is a massive topic.
i got you. I win every single fight leveling against every single class up to a few levels higher than me. never lost ever to anyone. Here is how:
open up with 2 shadow bolts when you sneak up on stupid noob.
talents leveling: go 5/5 corruption and 2-5/5 suppression. improved life tap is good too. then get 8 in demonology for your imp void walker. go 11 in destro asap because SBURN is your key to PVP.
you are going to always move as you cast corruption and agony and sburn. either towards or away from target. Towards shamans, mages, druids cause they run away like pussies.
vs hunter at level 40 you can Howl of terror hunter and his pet.
get living action potions, invisibility potions. ALWAYS have healthstones.
death coil makes warlock super easy at level 42. its like gg. you can use it to follow up with fear against melee classes.
use void walker and sac him.
i like to go 11 points in demonology so you can do a fast cast void fear recast void then new sac.
use fear and bandades. always get first aid to 225 asap and buy the best heavy runecloth. bandaid is very good.
Always use spellstones vs casters. it will give you like 25% more health in a bubble.
watch out for dispell classes they will fuck you like shamans priests they can remove your shield.
dont waste time with drain life. its total shit, only time you use it is very situational as a filler.
vs another warlock fear is most important. also banish their pet void or they will sac it. when void is CC/banished it can not be sac.
SBURN is key. you can do two per fight in pvp. takes 2 soul shards.
always have a shit ton of shards for the pvp. cause after a pvp fight you need a new void walker, a new healthstone, maybe a new spellstone, and you burned 2 shards on sburn. thats 5 soulshards.
always kill EVERY SINGLE PLAYER YOU SEE.
know where the graveyards are and time their time to get back then gank them again.
always expect an add player and be ready to fight again. always move away from other mobs and off roads cause other players will show up. and in vanilla, you can kite- run away its all about positioning.
make sure you macro /laugh and other emotes to piss off the noobs that you kill.
again- not a single class that can kill a good warlock. i never ever die to anyone as i level and i KOS everyone.
also vs players on mounts. you can open with fear, open with seduce or if you really have to use death coil. after the dc you fear. you can kill them before they dismount or run away if you do it right. not a bad idea to life tap a bit to look weak so they dismount to fight you cause they are morons and dont realize you are going to own their ass.
@@markblaze4909 Yo thanks for the tips. On a fresh server would you immediately pick up Engineering and Mining for the PvP stuff like goggles and grenades ASAP for profs? Or something else? Would it be more efficient to buy potions you need with cash off the AH? Or rather to roll herbalism and alchemy instead?
@@markblaze4909 Are you playing horde or alliance? I'd like to play lock on Alliance, though its at a disadvantage for sure.
@@markblaze4909 That all works but what happens when a rogue opens you, LAP's don't come cheap especially levelling when you won't have access to those herbs.
@@chogan73 living action potion.
Keep up with the new deep dives man, it’s about fkn time to come up with a new one :(
Woot! Best series! Droooooooooooods next!
I like how he had the leveling spec completely memorized...then had to remember the raiding spec..or at least make sure it was right. This guy loves warlock if he can recall that leveling spec and the order!
these videos are so insanely informational, thank you
on the topic of which race to choose, Undead also has Cannibalize which i use while leveling as an out of combat mana regen technique. a few life taps and then use that on a mob. same thing with first aid bandages. after a fight use a bunch of life taps and then bandaid that s#it!
Leveling a lock on a private server right now, level 57 and having the time of my life :D
Hey tips! Will you do one with rogue? Love this content by the way!
elxokas Absolutely bro! That one is next 😉
@@TipsOutBaby very hyped for this, I was actually just about to comment saying wtb rogue interview xd
Perplexity? POG
@@chrischris8481 I mean he doesn't play the game rn, I mean he's good but.. I'm pretty sure he only pvps, not really a pve player
@@TipsOutBaby Please do Warrior! I wanna know how to go about tank and fury at the same time.
When he gets deep into describing the raid attack breakdown of spells you can really tell that he knows what he is talking about lol.. shadow this demonic that corruption this.. I'm so interested in rolling lock now. So much more to manage but sounds fun
Played warlock from vanilla for 4 years European Server Not NA Server.. Did all the raids got all the gear and then quit in wrath of the lich king. Cant wait to get back into my warlock build again. Great Video. Reminds me of the good old days. Its been many years since i played WoW. LOL going though all the gear options brings back memories of me having some or most of them.
Back when you had to actually consider different schools of magic and think about different factors.
this is easier than what is in retail.
Dude your channel is fire thanks
I love that tips just blew up out of nowhere
Do a shaman deep dive, loving these videos
More power leveling videos please! Also class specific grinding strategies if applicable !! Love you Tips! the best
ive seen warlocks pull a 3 pack of knolls in redridge
The recent patch notes for the classic beta has it so that imp drain soul can proc even when the warlock is not the one to kill it.
Guys knowledge is awesome
These are so good, man. Keep them coming!

And we’re not even in BC yet!
I loved imalive's reaction to the BoSalv comment, such a polite guy. Great guide, lots of great information, immolation oil and HF combo is a great idea I hadn't thought of, that and many more, thanks guys
In 1.12, are you still able to Sacrifice your Demon and have someone resurrect the Demon & retain the Sac Buff? Not sure what patch they fixed that in.
Man, the way he talks about it, Blizzard should give this dude a doctorate in WoW (or at least a masters).
Sub earned.
can't wait for druid deep dive
i did play warlock as twenky back than in classic . this time i will make warlock as main.
1 fun thing i may do is on a pvp server for classic is let loose a doomguard in goldshire
thats always fun to do to any alliance zone
Lol tip has no idea around
The warlock tree
I don't understand. Did he play in actual vanilla or only on various private servers?
Can't wait to get my gnome warlock on for classic.
Super tryhard tip: If you speedrun, you can spec into demonic sacriface with worldbuffs on. Sac a succubus and spec into another spec. You will have about 25min of +15% shadow damage for a tryhard speedrun in MC or BWL. Cost 100g, but worth it if you're going for the biggest damage possiple
Good deep dive. I leaned a few things I didn't know. Keen foe classic, still not sure about what class I'll roll.
"your guys's questions" ;D
I mained lock in late vanilla, I really hope that we get felguards again... LOVED my felguard demo lock build in pve/pvp.
Felguard is not in vanilla, i think is tbc
U4 best interview imo, really enjoyed.
19:20 It DOES matter. Your void sac is calculated based on your voidwalker health. it's a percentage. Go into Fel Stamina.
11 Hours to Nerdgasm!
What about pvp?
I used to sacrifice void Walker in vanilla for the health regen. T2 had 6 health regen. And used a trinket that had regen, lifestone. I never really died, not as much dmg as destro succ with fears and charms but I was able to survive more.
Locks were a little meh early on. But around AQ or so they are amazing. DPS is great in raids. For pvp i rolled full destro and would shit on almost anyone. Most of the time you could shit on 2 or 3 players at once tbh. There was just so much control with a succubus and fear. I was over 100K HKs in vanilla.
phizzle777 cant wait for this in classic 😁
Tips great vid, looking forward to both mage and priest ones! keep the videos coming, looking forward to playing classic!
Though I agree with 99% of your guide I have to say that Cataclysm beats Suppression or improved searing pain and that DS/ruin gets stronger during Naxxramas:
Place 4 talent points in cataclysm and 0 in Suppression. A shadowbolt that costs 355 instead 370 will make you lifetap less (with mana regen and ms aproxx 1/12). A lock will use ~17 shadowbolts ~3 Corruption ~1 curse during a single BWL or MC bossfight. During AQ/Naxx era cataclysm is more profitable as shadowbolt lvl 10 costs 380 mana and life tap becomes a pain during some bosses (Princess Hurhuran etc) .
However, as our fellow lock mentioned, we gonna have to deal with tons of adds/trash in AQ. So my suggestion is, you take those 4 points and place it right into Intensity - Pyroclasm. Not only you would be able to help tanks & healers by stunning the trash BUT you gonna increase the raid dmg in general ( that long corridor between 3rd and 4th boss >< )
I took notes lol
😂🤣😂🤣
I think you are so freaking awesome !!!
One racial not mentioned is Humans get reputation quicker, it is nice when getting zandelar rep and battle ground faction rep
it is nice, but after the rep grind is over you are no longer benefiting from it, whereas a gnome will always be benefiting from the increased int and engineering
Great video with a lot of information.
These guides are amazing. You have to do Mage!
1:27:37 there it is, we got it! Gamers rise up :D
Love the guide! Hoping for a paladin deep dive one day!
Would love to see some test raids with All the cards stacked in the locks favour. Shadow curse, SP Shadow mastery, RL allowing a small amount of dots, Salv if on alliance etc etc.
no, you're supposed to tell people warlock's suck in vanilla, so there will be less of them. I mainly rolled sm/ruin back in vanilla and early tbc, I didn't raid past mc on my lock, mainly did dungeons. I'm looking forward to trying ds/ruin this time
lie to everyone so you can have a better time. gtfo democrat sjw pos.
@@nicewhenearnedrudemostlyel489 oh look, a conservative snowflake who can't take a joke. go get some preparation h for that butthurt
Tips , student of the game , love this video.
Great work
Man would I love to see a mage one!
Wow! Thanks for the insight!
And this my friends is why classic was so amazing. They absolute amount of thought that went into these builds for different scenarios is amazing. Now days its...."which one does more damage.... Okay the other 2 specs are useless.. REEEEEEEEEE spam my 1 key!!!"
Is this a joke? Or are people this delusional? Classic wow is the king of spamming literally one button. Literally only one spec in modern wow comes close.
I am excited for classic, don't get me wrong, but lets not pretend.
if you guys send some pics with your mythic raiding achievs from retail, then I will consider your bullshit. don't speak about what you don't know morons
I tanked broodlord for around 15 seconds back in the day when I was geared AF on my lock. Got some of those massive crits and was like uh oh. Popped every cooldown and pretty much every consumable in the game, but it was pretty great. Raid spent the rest of the run joking I should get all the wrath drops :D
ive played since launch and its just now seeping in how much better these trees were, rogue ftw >:)))
I forgot the old raiding scene and our locks loving when I tanked (Druid/tbc) because they didn’t have to hold back
Instant like and favourite. Warlock is my favourite class and I already know that I'm gonna love this episode!
priest guide soon?
guys you didn't suggest any offhands for BIS
What the hell is this guy doing with his talents?! Increased mana on your PET! above improved healthstone?! It's a minor thing but that doesn't make any sense... I also think affliction is wayyy better also for solo leveling, you don't really need your voidwalker's taunt to be better early on as your Dots take quite a while to remove threat from your voidwalker anyway so his taunt ability is already effective enough. And there's just so much better talents in affliction for leveling so I really don't get why you would take useless talents like fel domination early.
+ you are very correct. i support your post.
Great guide! Is Imalive's BIS list available somewhere?
Looking forward to pally deep dive, Esfand??
great video thk u
These are awesome can we get more deep dives?
A great Interview! I like this So much. Do you plan another Interview for a deep dive for mages with hin?
Just started watching you and I love your voice 😆
"You don't really have enough time to multi-dot" when referencing Molten Core. Is this still true even after you revealed that private server boss armor coefficients were jacked up?
I didn't get there yet, but you can't dot in MC. There's a debuff limit of 16, there's no way your guild's gonna give you 4 of those :p shadowbolt all the way
who is alive ?
Question: 1:01:05 He says if you have 300/300 engineering you can activate the 3 piece bonus of the Bloodvine set. How is that possible? I don't understand.
he meant tailoring
@@Goorlel - But that doesn't make sense either... why would 300 tailoring automatically grant you the 3 set bonus? Crafting 3 "bloodvine" pieces grants you the set bonus. You can buy them off the AH, don't need either profession.
deep dive with shado the druid 100% gotta happen
When are we gonna see a rogue deep dive? really excited for that one :D
very, very, very soon! Its the next one :D
@@TipsOutBaby if you don't get perplexity to do it i'm gonna be very dissapointed in you :P
Would shadow mastery and demonic sacrifice be viable with a solid perminant 25% shadow dmg inc (ignoring destro tree) on paper it should work but never played vanilla, started in bc but raided in wrath
Your Shadow bolts won't crit for much, as you miss the most important talent Ruin.
SM/DS is a perfectly viable endgame farming/Alternate raid damage spec. Its a less gear dependant spec than Ruin specs, When Farming as SM/DS you actually sac your voidwalker for the health regeneration. So you. Run around and dot up about 5-6 different mobs at a time and between 5 different ticks of siphon life, and VW regen you get so much life back, you lifetap a few times. The only amount of down time you will end up having with this spec is the time you have to wait for whatever you're farming to respawn.
Qualify vid gents
who is he? lol never seen him around
I am for sure going engi with mining right away and then learn tailoring later on
Im Warlock and this is the best fckin guide ever, very helpful!!! Thank you so much Tip and Alive!
I am leveling with a Soul Link demo build since I have fallen behind on leveling thanks to work. At 60 for PvP and solo I am looking at a 7/32/11 with one point tbd. And i want to try a 0/30/21 Master Demonologist/Ruin build for raiding, having the option to run 20% threat reduction seems rather juicy to me.
