My buddy used to say the best race for the warrior was Nelf, because you send half the time leveling up dead, and at least in wisp form you can get back to your corpse quicker. lol
shadowmeld worked exactly like stealth, minus ability to move, in vanilla, including no use in combat. Though it was occasionally useful to be a literal rogue in plate.
I have lost count of how many times I have watched this video, this really needs a part 2, at this point there's been more expansions released after the ending point ofbthe legacy than there are in the video. Side note I have not played since the end of Legion but I kinda want to go back to the game if there is going to be classic Cata realms just to play Arms in Raids
Pontus mattsson Yeeeah. In fact the Warlock Legacy would have been released by now, but in one of his Drama Time streams he stated that the Legion alpha sorta put a wrench into that, and that it won't be coming out until next year.
Preach really needs to do more of these videos. As someone who has only played a hunter since I started the game in 2014, I'd love to see a video on the history of hunters.
You nailed it! I still remember having to farm a couple of days for those essence of airs for that Whirlwind Axe quest. I was really bad at making money back in the day, so it took me a long time to get all the mats. But getting that axe at level ~36 was quite rewarding! Then in TBC I had the most fun of charging up to clothies, especially you, warlocks... and just pressing on my Recklessness and then Mortal Strike. Killing mages and locks was never so satisfying! I do enjoy warriors now, they have adopted much more finesse and agility (not the stat...), but I don't really feel that charm anymore. That rawness, and sometimes irritation of having to wait a fuckload of time to get some rage. Oh well...
Coming back to this video after playing a warrior all through the 3 versions of classic (so far) is fun. I can see why warriors are/were traditionally the least rerolled class in the game
I love watching these videos. So nostalgic going back to vanilla through cata and seeing the gameplay footage while hearing you talk about each class, all the while being an educational recounting of each expansion for those who weren't around during these times. Hope you do Warlock, Hunter, or Druid next!
I can imagine every Warrior became temp Paladins when Shadowmourne was revealed, cause all of them must've knelled down and started praising the Light for such an amazing weapon.
Cataclysm was indeed the cataclysm of many classes... I dont play a warrior myself but I do see the sadness in warrior´s voices when they talk about their class in mop... wod isn´t looking any better... It feels sad to see a class that can only be compared to the rock in late 90´s and then turned into the rock in "the game plan"...
I play a warrior and explain it in terms of alcohol. Used to be warriors were moonshine/white lightning...190 proof death dealing reasons to be afraid,very very afraid. Now.....we're barely some watered down 3.2% cheap beer.
I actually prefered resto shamans and prot/arms warriors in Cataclysm WAY more than in Wotlk, but yeah Blizzard hates warriors. They ain't got the time to put some love in them now that they've been catering to nothing but Druids and Paladins for the last four fucking expansions.
splendidoyster1 This is the thing I noticed so much. I played a DPS warrior from Karazhan till Firelands. Pré-Cataclysm, especially when you had the buffs in your raid and such it all felt so smooth. In Cataclysm while still fun it felt more like a test.
This truly is my favorite video that you've ever done. The Warrior is my favorite class, your commentary and analysis is just wonderful to listen to, and your comedy is on point. I love the Legacy videos, and sincerely hope you one day do them again!
This was great. It was entertaining, cool, so many laugh out loud moments. It's easy to tell how much time and dedication you've put into not only making the video, but also playing a warrior. It's been a pleasure to watch and keep them coming please Mike because these vids are the best nostalgia trips on youtube.
This video is great in so many ways! Thanks for bringing back such fond, although frustrating memories... eating after every 2-3 mobs and the defensive stance questline haha, ugghh and hunting down Cyclonis with Thotbot for that bloody axe...really shows us where the attachment to our mains came from. Awesome job!
When I saw the thumbnail in the feed I immediately worried that he may have forgot the old quests for berserker, defensive and the 2H weapon. I love that he didn't and this is why he is one of my favorite wow youtubers. Thank you for making such a baller video.
HEY preach.. these vids are freaken awesome.. BUT why only 3, i know your busy. But these hands down are my favorite from you.. So much flavor, time and understanding put into the class to make these... Thank you homie
I absolutely adore these Legacy videos. I love you perspective, your actual experience, your cynical realism and wit.. You are brilliant. Please, keep them coming! :D
Finally. This is MY class. My main since TBC. I love my warrior and have never failed to enjoy wrecking face with him. Small nitpick: Sunder used to stack to 5, not 3.
Something ive gotten used to doing 5 mans with my warrior in SM Cath, 5 sunders into heroic strike is a classic. But i've learned to make good use of shield block into revenge to continue generating command threat while minimizing dmg
God i love these videos. Sure, i haven't played since WotLK, but it's nice to see what's changed and the feel of nostalgia is awesome. Oh did i love the new talents patch on TBC before WotLK came out. Prot was the most overpowered PvP spec in the game, and it remained as one of the best 1v1 specs through the entire expansion. Being able to crit 75% hp of any cloth wearer with shield slam was the most satisfying thing in existence.
Bo Ek No, you're quite wrong. You simply had to either block, dodge, parry or miss shear. Basically reach uncrushable which was 102.4. Paladins could do easily.
Loves the video preach, enjoyed the rogue and paladin videos. Im a fury warrior myself and seeing the past of warriors on this video was badass. Keep up the amazing work looking forward to more legacy videos.
My very first character was a Human Warrior, it was the only char I played until around mid Burning Crusade. Those warrior stance quests and 11 hours AV matches bring back memories :), Great video buddy!
I asked for this on the rogue video, and I shall ask again. MAKE A HUNTER VIDEO PLEASE!!! Definitely touch on how every weapon was a hunter weapon it was the best part of being a hunter!
Li Ye Not at all. He played a Healer Priest for some of Vanilla, a Warlock in TBC, Prot for Wotlk (as far as I remember anyway) and in Cata he played a DK for the most part. In MoP he hasn't had a 'main' per se, but he reffered to his Shadow Priest as his main.
Broo Preach!! Please continue with this Legacy series. This is the time to do more videos and get all the likes of all the classic wow players that are returning to play the game
Back when I was starting WoW, I made a tauren warrior. I had made it to lvl 30 not knowing you can get class quests. I had never gotten defensive stance or berserker. By the time I was lvl 40, I had forgotten again, and ended up deleting the character because I gimped it and didn't know you could do quests after you out level them and they are grey.
For warlocks, wrath of the lich king was hell.I fucking hated pvping as a lock,oh god the nightmares. Glass cannnons who couldn't fear efficiently, therefor could not keep warriors off me.rogues going around backstabbing you while facerolling, and oh my god deathknights were friggin overpowered.Locks were overpowered too in nucking, but nerf an unbalanced glass cannon like locks, and they have nothing and the rep was low to begin with.Things were so bad during the end of wotlk, that some people who were the representatives of locks quit. Locks kept getting nerf after nerf after nerf.fear broke with low damage, and diminishing returns where fear became easier to resist as you casted it.I still loved my lock though even though i stopped pvping for the most part due to how it was almost impossible to win.
Alexandre Gauvreau It probably helped to have someone defend you since gap closers got you killed.I remember in one match, i used rain of fire, and did a huge amount of kills because there was a battlefield going on and a bunch of people fighting, so i spammed rain of fire. After those kills, the next match people were focusing on my lock, and i was dying constantly.
Alexandre Gauvreau warlocks hit so hard with nukes, that everyone was screaming for nerfs, but they were literally useless in terms of survival.At the end of wotlk, they got nerfed, and people were ready to quit.I could understand it, because i played a lock, and it just wasn't fun to be steamrolled by lolfaceroll warriors with bladestorm charge+dk chains of op+rogue lolfaceroll backstab+kick+cloakofnoskills+paladins godmode bubble.On top of that, it was a time where hybrids were doing more damage than a pure class, so naturally people were angry about that too.In pvp melee was just murdering locks and they were unable to survive long.They had to have someone to peel them off, because they lacked skills to peel melee off them.When you face this kind of situation, it just isn't good.
Shadow_Link Kinda clueless, aren't you. I was a lock in wotlk too, and I reckon it was by far the best expansion for warlocks. Not sure what spec you played, but I played destro. I like it how you mention every class but the actually hardest, feral druids. You wanted to avoid chains? Get your FH to dispel you. You wanted to avoid bladestorm? Save your portal and seduce \ conflag or CoE for range. Rogues you had to force cloak and trinket on, and they were no match for your burst back then. Paladins were a joke, literally. They had no interrupt or gapcloser, and the ONE MINUTE CD stun was one dispel away with felhunter. That also goes for the rest of their buffs, IE Wings, exo \ flash procs etc etc. Rets were (besides warriors) my favourite targets to kill, because they were SO damn easy. Warlocks was the only innate class with damage reduction to HOLY spells as well, nether protection was OP as fuck. If you die due to a ret doing 50 % LESS damage then you, you play in greens. I think you just cry cause you can't bring the best out of your class, you should've been a elemental shaman in a duel back then (Not arena, they were REALLY GOOD there). Then you can cry about balance. And FYI, fear is a CC. Not a stun, or assesment to dealing damage WHILE feared, that would be absurdly overpowered. You wanna know why lock got nerfed? Ask any disc priest how fun it was being blown to shit with EVERY CD up and shields, chaos bolt went through damage reductions AND absorbations. Come on, quit yer whining.
DJRoxxorblack clueless? i pvped during the end of wotlk, and the changes to fear hurt locks more than you can imagine.Remember all the classes with fear resistance and way of breaking out? remember the amount of stuns warriors had and rogues? kidney shot+kick+disembowel+ all the other stuff and you get stunlocked to death.warriors could do the same:stun valiant leap, stombolt and i can't remember all of them.melee was out of controll during wotlk, and people were complaining in pve how melee classes and hybrid were outdamaging them.Even the class rep was complaining, so don't give me that shit.
If I could add a few things to this video, I'd mention: Crushing Blows (which were a big factor in warriors remaining MTs throughout TBC until finally removed in Wrath) Our old CDs, especially original Recklessness. As well as how Reck, Death Wish, and Berserker Stance all contributed to the original warrior DPS model of a glass cannon that could dish out insane damage but needed a dedicated healer in battlegrounds to really shine. Wearing leather. Seriously, plate used to suck so hard.
you mean cut :), as i said on the webshow, the original voiceover for this one was 43 minutes long. Most of the things, not all, but most that you might think were forgot are cut to be more concise and TH-cam friendly

+Preach Gaming My man, more "legacy of the" videos! They are awesomeee!!
Being a warrior since beta (and rolling every other class just for humors sake post TBC) I have to say this is pretty spot on. I always joke to my friends of other classes "The reason why warriors constantly get nerfs is because they don't know how to handle it when a group of warriors adapt to the nerfs and still somehow show a degree of OP'ness and Blizzard assumes all warriors are this amazing and throws the nerfs at them. Warriors are survivors though, we adapt and deal with the nerfs and shrug it off, waiting for those glorious moments when Blizzard went overboard and decides to grace us with the gift of awesome oncemore. Whatever doesn't break a warrior only makes him stronger." I also recall in the past the Warrior boards were the most welcoming, supportive and friendly of all the class boards. People actually made a point to give you tips, theorycrafting and whatnot to make sure you were optinal instead of just saying you were a bad player. Perhaps the old saying of 'The stronger you are, the gentler you must become' holds weight there when junctioned with "Whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stronger!" I had a great time watching this video even though i might have enjoyed it a bit more if you got the nitty gritty BS warrior patch notes and stealth nerfs. Fun fact: One of the blues even posted in the forums ages back tht the warrior is the most difficult class for Blizzard to balance due to the complexity of the rage mechanic "Two points of rage too much, and the warrior becomes overpowered, two points too few, and the class becomes rage starved". Ebon - Ravenholdt (and multiple other servers in his past) ~Cyrus~
Pfft, hunters had no legacy! Ok they had tons, I miss the actual bonding you put in your pet. That and pets each having unique skills such as scorpids having a poison. Such elegance!
David Granstrand They really did. It was unique and quite fun. I remembered watching my aunt play her hunter when I was younger. It was pretty epic, as she ran battlegrounds and kicked ass. Whenever she was in Alterac Valley, I immediately jumped on the nearest chair and watched. I always thought about making a hunter as my second main. However, the changes made me extremely less interested. Melee Hunters, come back to us!
Heh, I can actually stand hunters not being melee, but it seems they're a shell of their former selves. No longer having aspects to switch between, no longer having any flare in their talents. It's all underwhelming. When looking at the other classes, their core gameplay either got revamped and reworked, or their talents did, or they fit perfectly into the 'mold' like rogues. I can't help but think Blizzard doesn't care about hunters anymore. I mean looking into everything, eac spec has one logical path and anything else is a loss for them. That's not fun as far as talents go. And the thought of MM being 3 buttons, and SV having no burst is just ugh...
David Granstrand Bonding? That fucker was always crying for food when I had none. Being forced to keep a whole back full of food just for the pet. I wanted to strangle the thing.
While yes, it was annoying, that's the whole point of owning a pet! Feeding it is about as natural as protecting it, and it protecting you. Plus there was the whole hunting for food (finding food from wild animals such as bears and wolves for most meat eating pets) which gave everything use, now its just... cooking mats for ungrateful raiders whom will most likely wipe and lose the buff it gives! :(
Warriors were lots of fun. I didnt get into tanking until the GM of the guild I was in at the time had burnt me out of healing with my healadin. I used to enjoy healing big time. And then I restarted my guild again, a bunch of people left and we needed a MT, so I quickly finished levelling my warrior, got him some ilvl 200 blues and some epics (for a gear score of about 3300) and then started tanking ICC10 for the guild... and pugging in 25s anywhere :D I had a complete ball doing it because it was different from what I had been doing through TBC and most of Wrath. I have healed some on my shammy since I started tanking, but I have never gone back to healing again.
Ragatokk yes because atm dreanor is just a huge bore all we have is BLF HM which u can do 3 times over......, then u have ashran which after awhile is boring as hell and then we have ummm.... what else is there lol.............................................
Enjoyed this video, even though Warrior was a class I for some reason never rolled. Thinking about starting up again with one, though. If you ever do a Legacy of the Hunter, make sure to include the plights and sufferings of Survival Hunters in TBC. Mainly because nobody understood what the point of them were, and so on. Good times, though. Enjoyed TBC greatly. Even though the extent of our theorycrafting was optimising our steady-shot rotation. I remember having hour-long conversations to my class-fellows in guild chat about the merits of 3:2 versus 1:1. Pretty sure the rest of them thought we were insane.
Paladin says hi? It was super easy for paladin. Sure, it was way more boring than warrior, but also a lot faster, smoother, less dependent on gear and you wouldn't die that often. I know cause I leveled both.
The infamous legacy of the warrior is now here, prepare your anus! Please make a legacy of the mage next, we all love mages and I think it would be nice too since a lot is about Jaina :)
***** How can you tell? Blizz is really unpredictable imo, since wration was talking about the burning legion entire damn MoP and before MoP they were talking about "the big war"... When did that happen? Also mages> Priests :)
***** Who cares about leveling? That's not even remotely relevalt. I can almost promise you the majority of people wanna watch legacy of the mage than priest.
I almost cried of nostalgia on the WoTLK part, such amazing times to be a warrior. All the stances macros, all the races for top dps on Saurfang, the joy of getting Deathbringer's , the guild effort to get you the Shadowmourne....oh , those were good times indeed.
Had a lovely flashback to Wrath Fury Warrior DPS. It was such a fun spec back then before all the Raging Blows, Colossus Smashes and Wild Strike bullshit it is today. I played both a Fury Warrior and a Feral DPS Druid back in Wrath as a main for a time. Both extremely fun classes. First one the bare minimum of a rotation coupled with incredible mobility and hard hitting abilities. And Second an uncategorized mess of a impossible to do correctly rotation that still does a butt ton of damage. Basically two absolute opposites that were both just so incredibly fun to play. You no longer have that in WoW. It's mostly just complexity for the sake of complexity.
![The Story of The Lich King - Full Version [Lore]](/img/n.gif)
My buddy used to say the best race for the warrior was Nelf, because you send half the time leveling up dead, and at least in wisp form you can get back to your corpse quicker. lol
This made me laugh so hard. Because it probably was so true.
and u can abort that 2nd mob pull with shadowmeld
shadowmeld isnt usable in combat in vanilla.
shadowmeld worked exactly like stealth, minus ability to move, in vanilla, including no use in combat.
Though it was occasionally useful to be a literal rogue in plate.
man, i laughed so hard. it is so true. lvling a warrior right now on a tbc private server and i know that feel...
The cyclone..... I can't move...... Dispel me.... Dispel me!!
I have lost count of how many times I have watched this video, this really needs a part 2, at this point there's been more expansions released after the ending point ofbthe legacy than there are in the video. Side note I have not played since the end of Legion but I kinda want to go back to the game if there is going to be classic Cata realms just to play Arms in Raids
"This guy is Nucking Futs."
Dr. Haywood Jablome M.D
jake and amir reference
The real3d glasses kill me everytime i watch this video love you Ghost thanks for the fun hahahhaha
Thanks for all the years of hilarious banter
that part of the video is pure gold
Do more legacy videos dang-it.
madcat789 Yes, please Preach give us more :)
+madcat789 pretty sure hes always working on one but they take awhile
+madcat789 Working on Legacy of the Warlock now :D
+TooMuchStarbucks What he is :DDD cant wait these are so much fun in pure facts and comedy.
Pontus mattsson Yeeeah. In fact the Warlock Legacy would have been released by now, but in one of his Drama Time streams he stated that the Legion alpha sorta put a wrench into that, and that it won't be coming out until next year.
Preach really needs to do more of these videos. As someone who has only played a hunter since I started the game in 2014, I'd love to see a video on the history of hunters.
Yeah man, i'd love to see a Legacy of the Hunter Video!
agreed :D
I just came from a Kakio video exposing WarcraftBible on his plagarism and it made me appreciate good, honest original content.
Preach on Preacher.
came from the same vid this guy has expertice and knows whats up
You nailed it! I still remember having to farm a couple of days for those essence of airs for that Whirlwind Axe quest. I was really bad at making money back in the day, so it took me a long time to get all the mats. But getting that axe at level ~36 was quite rewarding!

Coming back to this video after playing a warrior all through the 3 versions of classic (so far) is fun. I can see why warriors are/were traditionally the least rerolled class in the game
Legacy of the Warlock please, it's been over a year now c;
+TenecoGaming Soon....
I love watching these videos. So nostalgic going back to vanilla through cata and seeing the gameplay footage while hearing you talk about each class, all the while being an educational recounting of each expansion for those who weren't around during these times. Hope you do Warlock, Hunter, or Druid next!
im only 3 minutes in and i can tell its done beautifully. BRO, you're the man. More, more, more !
I can imagine every Warrior became temp Paladins when Shadowmourne was revealed, cause all of them must've knelled down and started praising the Light for such an amazing weapon.
Ret paladin with Shadowmourne
every warrior/deathknight
WANNABE DK WANNABE WARRIOR
Ret:Hue
Cataclysm was indeed the cataclysm of many classes... I dont play a warrior myself but I do see the sadness in warrior´s voices when they talk about their class in mop... wod isn´t looking any better... It feels sad to see a class that can only be compared to the rock in late 90´s and then turned into the rock in "the game plan"...
I play a warrior and explain it in terms of alcohol. Used to be warriors were moonshine/white lightning...190 proof death dealing reasons to be afraid,very very afraid. Now.....we're barely some watered down 3.2% cheap beer.
Can play a warrior with xbox 360 controller. I was a faithful warrior for 5+ years. I won't touch mine now.
I'm glad I play a mage, we've been pretty safe up until now. (now we might be in trouble...)
I actually prefered resto shamans and prot/arms warriors in Cataclysm WAY more than in Wotlk, but yeah Blizzard hates warriors. They ain't got the time to put some love in them now that they've been catering to nothing but Druids and Paladins for the last four fucking expansions.
splendidoyster1 This is the thing I noticed so much.
I played a DPS warrior from Karazhan till Firelands.
Pré-Cataclysm, especially when you had the buffs in your raid and such it all felt so smooth.
In Cataclysm while still fun it felt more like a test.
This truly is my favorite video that you've ever done. The Warrior is my favorite class, your commentary and analysis is just wonderful to listen to, and your comedy is on point. I love the Legacy videos, and sincerely hope you one day do them again!
LOL the insane asylum part. brilliant.
I pooped a little from laughing
These are some of your best videos preach! Give us one for every class!
the whirlwind axe....oh god the feels i remember that weapon!!!!
The moment when i picked whirlwind sword instead :(
Aishalyn
lol nothing wrong with that i know others who did, they were pretty much the same weapon from my memory just different looks
kbdemonbain the axe had a slower attack speed which was better because it would hit harder. the sword was still good tho
This was great. It was entertaining, cool, so many laugh out loud moments. It's easy to tell how much time and dedication you've put into not only making the video, but also playing a warrior. It's been a pleasure to watch and keep them coming please Mike because these vids are the best nostalgia trips on youtube.
I'm totally craving a Huntard video! Can't wait to see more of these!
This struck so many of my nostalgia cords..great job!
I need Legacy of the Shaman :(
This video is great in so many ways! Thanks for bringing back such fond, although frustrating memories... eating after every 2-3 mobs and the defensive stance questline haha, ugghh and hunting down Cyclonis with Thotbot for that bloody axe...really shows us where the attachment to our mains came from. Awesome job!
lol that interview is the best thing that this channel has ever done :DDDDDD
When I saw the thumbnail in the feed I immediately worried that he may have forgot the old quests for berserker, defensive and the 2H weapon. I love that he didn't and this is why he is one of my favorite wow youtubers. Thank you for making such a baller video.
FINALLY! Give us more Legacy-Vids :D
IMHO I think the legacy videos are by far the best of all your channel ^^
Some much work went into this video :O
It's great!
Fuck freemasonry warlock scumbags.
Demon worshippers.
HEY preach.. these vids are freaken awesome.. BUT why only 3, i know your busy. But these hands down are my favorite from you.. So much flavor, time and understanding put into the class to make these... Thank you homie
Warlock please.
WARLOC WARLOCK WARLOCK WARLOCK!!! >:O!!!
I want to see warlock too
Ya warlocks had some of the best quests and hardest too! A whole dungeon for your 60 mount back in vanilla! Plus we blow shit up quite easily ;)
I absolutely adore these Legacy videos. I love you perspective, your actual experience, your cynical realism and wit.. You are brilliant. Please, keep them coming! :D
Very enjoyable! We gotta have a caster next, Mage!
I vote mage next!
I love these Legacy videos. Been binge watching your videos and have officially subbed. Thanks for the awesome content
I CLICKED, THIS FUCKING VIDEO SO HARD WHEN I SAW IT IN MY SUB BOX. Preach your videos are always A+
Finally. This is MY class. My main since TBC. I love my warrior and have never failed to enjoy wrecking face with him.
Small nitpick: Sunder used to stack to 5, not 3.
atleast in mop arms were crazy good in pvp, and a riot to play
I love these Legacy of the videos! Keep 'em coming.
Shaman next?
Something ive gotten used to doing 5 mans with my warrior in SM Cath, 5 sunders into heroic strike is a classic. But i've learned to make good use of shield block into revenge to continue generating command threat while minimizing dmg
Please to Shamans next!
God i love these videos. Sure, i haven't played since WotLK, but it's nice to see what's changed and the feel of nostalgia is awesome. Oh did i love the new talents patch on TBC before WotLK came out. Prot was the most overpowered PvP spec in the game, and it remained as one of the best 1v1 specs through the entire expansion. Being able to crit 75% hp of any cloth wearer with shield slam was the most satisfying thing in existence.
Hope to see a "Legacy of the Mage" someday.
Goin back and watching these and just seeing how much his kid has grown makes me feel old
Eh Preach, you're quite wrong. Palas COULD handle maintankadin Illidan. In fact they beat the snot out of warriors in terms of survival there.
You had to Shield Block the ability he did or you pretty much died. Guess you could be lucky and do it on a paladin.
Bo Ek No, you're quite wrong. You simply had to either block, dodge, parry or miss shear. Basically reach uncrushable which was 102.4. Paladins could do easily.
Bo Ek Sesame Street vs Illidan [Remix][Paladin Tanking] here's me doing it on my guild's first kill.
not in the begining paladins solod it later when it got nerfed
marten vösu No, that was pre-nerf and pre-shear removal.
Thanks for another awesome vid Preacher, been waiting for this one for a long time and it didn't disappoint :).
Hey Preacher! Are you ever going to finish the other classes or has this project died completely?
Best Legacy Video so far, keep 'em coming!
The druid scene. I died. Thanks preach, My ribs hurt :')
Loves the video preach, enjoyed the rogue and paladin videos. Im a fury warrior myself and seeing the past of warriors on this video was badass. Keep up the amazing work looking forward to more legacy videos.
15:12 scene from my pvp video, yay im famous now!
4 seconds of fame :D
Hristo Hristov LOL GET FUCKED!
ooky badookie he didnt burn him that much tho ..
Martin Chili he kinda did...
My very first character was a Human Warrior, it was the only char I played until around mid Burning Crusade. Those warrior stance quests and 11 hours AV matches bring back memories :), Great video buddy!
I asked for this on the rogue video, and I shall ask again. MAKE A HUNTER VIDEO PLEASE!!! Definitely touch on how every weapon was a hunter weapon it was the best part of being a hunter!
Preach is a melee player
Li Ye
Melee Hunter
Li Ye
Not at all. He played a Healer Priest for some of Vanilla, a Warlock in TBC, Prot for Wotlk (as far as I remember anyway) and in Cata he played a DK for the most part. In MoP he hasn't had a 'main' per se, but he reffered to his Shadow Priest as his main.
Li Ye
Not all the footage is from his gameplay. And that does not mean he can't do research and make yet another enjoyable video.
TehSlice360 im pretty sure he started out with his priest in TBC and then later changed to prot warrior in TBC dont think he played warlock
Broo Preach!! Please continue with this Legacy series. This is the time to do more videos and get all the likes of all the classic wow players that are returning to play the game
Arms was top dps in ulduar patch in wotlk
So happy that you play warrior Preacher!! Been playing Warrior since vanilla and i could totally relate to this!
"HAHAHA!!! SUCK IT MAGES!"
-Preach
couldn't have said it better myself.
Finally! Thanks Preach, I've been waiting for the next installment for forever!
"And God forbid, the fucking vampires". LMAO

Lol they were one of the best class for 3s, RLS was rank 1 easy
Alexandre Gauvreau
It probably helped to have someone defend you since gap closers got you killed.I remember in one match, i used rain of fire, and did a huge amount of kills because there was a battlefield going on and a bunch of people fighting, so i spammed rain of fire.
After those kills, the next match people were focusing on my lock, and i was dying constantly.

warlocks hit so hard with nukes, that everyone was screaming for nerfs, but they were literally useless in terms of survival.At the end of wotlk, they got nerfed, and people were ready to quit.I could understand it, because i played a lock, and it just wasn't fun to be steamrolled by lolfaceroll warriors with bladestorm charge+dk chains of op+rogue lolfaceroll backstab+kick+cloakofnoskills+paladins godmode bubble.On top of that, it was a time where hybrids were doing more damage than a pure class, so naturally people were angry about that too.In pvp melee was just murdering locks and they were unable to survive long.They had to have someone to peel them off, because they lacked skills to peel melee off them.When you face this kind of situation, it just isn't good.
Shadow_Link Kinda clueless, aren't you. I was a lock in wotlk too, and I reckon it was by far the best expansion for warlocks. Not sure what spec you played, but I played destro. I like it how you mention every class but the actually hardest, feral druids. You wanted to avoid chains? Get your FH to dispel you. You wanted to avoid bladestorm? Save your portal and seduce \ conflag or CoE for range. Rogues you had to force cloak and trinket on, and they were no match for your burst back then. Paladins were a joke, literally. They had no interrupt or gapcloser, and the ONE MINUTE CD stun was one dispel away with felhunter. That also goes for the rest of their buffs, IE Wings, exo \ flash procs etc etc. Rets were (besides warriors) my favourite targets to kill, because they were SO damn easy. Warlocks was the only innate class with damage reduction to HOLY spells as well, nether protection was OP as fuck. If you die due to a ret doing 50 % LESS damage then you, you play in greens. I think you just cry cause you can't bring the best out of your class, you should've been a elemental shaman in a duel back then (Not arena, they were REALLY GOOD there). Then you can cry about balance. And FYI, fear is a CC. Not a stun, or assesment to dealing damage WHILE feared, that would be absurdly overpowered. You wanna know why lock got nerfed? Ask any disc priest how fun it was being blown to shit with EVERY CD up and shields, chaos bolt went through damage reductions AND absorbations. Come on, quit yer whining.

clueless? i pvped during the end of wotlk, and the changes to fear hurt locks more than you can imagine.Remember all the classes with fear resistance and way of breaking out? remember the amount of stuns warriors had and rogues? kidney shot+kick+disembowel+ all the other stuff and you get stunlocked to death.warriors could do the same:stun valiant leap, stombolt and i can't remember all of them.melee was out of controll during wotlk, and people were complaining in pve how melee classes and hybrid were outdamaging them.Even the class rep was complaining, so don't give me that shit.
If I could add a few things to this video, I'd mention:
Crushing Blows (which were a big factor in warriors remaining MTs throughout TBC until finally removed in Wrath)
Our old CDs, especially original Recklessness. As well as how Reck, Death Wish, and Berserker Stance all contributed to the original warrior DPS model of a glass cannon that could dish out insane damage but needed a dedicated healer in battlegrounds to really shine.
Wearing leather. Seriously, plate used to suck so hard.
We need a part 2
Love these so much! Keep the rest of the classes coming dude!
Great video Preach , my missus had to ask " what the fuck are you laughing at " .
They just dont understand /True Story
you mean cut :), as i said on the webshow, the original voiceover for this one was 43 minutes long. Most of the things, not all, but most that you might think were forgot are cut to be more concise and TH-cam friendly
+Preach Gaming My man, more "legacy of the" videos! They are awesomeee!!
Really went above and beyond on this one. Loved it!
Do more of these legacy videos
Being a warrior since beta (and rolling every other class just for humors sake post TBC) I have to say this is pretty spot on. I always joke to my friends of other classes "The reason why warriors constantly get nerfs is because they don't know how to handle it when a group of warriors adapt to the nerfs and still somehow show a degree of OP'ness and Blizzard assumes all warriors are this amazing and throws the nerfs at them. Warriors are survivors though, we adapt and deal with the nerfs and shrug it off, waiting for those glorious moments when Blizzard went overboard and decides to grace us with the gift of awesome oncemore. Whatever doesn't break a warrior only makes him stronger."
I also recall in the past the Warrior boards were the most welcoming, supportive and friendly of all the class boards. People actually made a point to give you tips, theorycrafting and whatnot to make sure you were optinal instead of just saying you were a bad player. Perhaps the old saying of 'The stronger you are, the gentler you must become' holds weight there when junctioned with "Whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stronger!"
I had a great time watching this video even though i might have enjoyed it a bit more if you got the nitty gritty BS warrior patch notes and stealth nerfs.
Fun fact: One of the blues even posted in the forums ages back tht the warrior is the most difficult class for Blizzard to balance due to the complexity of the rage mechanic "Two points of rage too much, and the warrior becomes overpowered, two points too few, and the class becomes rage starved".

Next, Hunters. I miss the melee hunters, lol.
Pfft, hunters had no legacy! Ok they had tons, I miss the actual bonding you put in your pet. That and pets each having unique skills such as scorpids having a poison. Such elegance!
David Granstrand
They really did. It was unique and quite fun. I remembered watching my aunt play her hunter when I was younger. It was pretty epic, as she ran battlegrounds and kicked ass. Whenever she was in Alterac Valley, I immediately jumped on the nearest chair and watched.
I always thought about making a hunter as my second main. However, the changes made me extremely less interested.
Melee Hunters, come back to us!
Heh, I can actually stand hunters not being melee, but it seems they're a shell of their former selves. No longer having aspects to switch between, no longer having any flare in their talents. It's all underwhelming. When looking at the other classes, their core gameplay either got revamped and reworked, or their talents did, or they fit perfectly into the 'mold' like rogues.
I can't help but think Blizzard doesn't care about hunters anymore. I mean looking into everything, eac spec has one logical path and anything else is a loss for them. That's not fun as far as talents go. And the thought of MM being 3 buttons, and SV having no burst is just ugh...
David Granstrand Bonding? That fucker was always crying for food when I had none. Being forced to keep a whole back full of food just for the pet. I wanted to strangle the thing.
While yes, it was annoying, that's the whole point of owning a pet! Feeding it is about as natural as protecting it, and it protecting you. Plus there was the whole hunting for food (finding food from wild animals such as bears and wolves for most meat eating pets) which gave everything use, now its just... cooking mats for ungrateful raiders whom will most likely wipe and lose the buff it gives! :(
Warriors were lots of fun. I didnt get into tanking until the GM of the guild I was in at the time had burnt me out of healing with my healadin. I used to enjoy healing big time. And then I restarted my guild again, a bunch of people left and we needed a MT, so I quickly finished levelling my warrior, got him some ilvl 200 blues and some epics (for a gear score of about 3300) and then started tanking ICC10 for the guild... and pugging in 25s anywhere :D I had a complete ball doing it because it was different from what I had been doing through TBC and most of Wrath. I have healed some on my shammy since I started tanking, but I have never gone back to healing again.
It is time to release the sequel.
Ragatokk yes because atm dreanor is just a huge bore all we have is BLF HM which u can do 3 times over......, then u have ashran which after awhile is boring as hell and then we have ummm.... what else is there lol.............................................
Fury was considered a joke early on, but it was still amazing. I was #1 dps in 40 man raids as fury in BWL, so it was definitely viable before naxx.
Wraith was the golden age... :( I misses it.
modernkennnern lets not tell him how to spell it :P
modernkennnern no
Wraith uf de leech kyng
You're doing very nice work with this series! :D Always excited to see another one in my subbox! :3 Brofist from finland
Actually you couldn't be a 'fighter' in original d&d.
You could be a 'fighting man'!
9:46 the overwhelming joy when I saw this addition. My reaction was pretty much identical
You should do a Legacy of the Hunter next ^.^
I LOVE your Legacy vids, Preach! great work again
Legacy of the Mage!
Enjoyed this video, even though Warrior was a class I for some reason never rolled. Thinking about starting up again with one, though.
If you ever do a Legacy of the Hunter, make sure to include the plights and sufferings of Survival Hunters in TBC. Mainly because nobody understood what the point of them were, and so on. Good times, though. Enjoyed TBC greatly. Even though the extent of our theorycrafting was optimising our steady-shot rotation. I remember having hour-long conversations to my class-fellows in guild chat about the merits of 3:2 versus 1:1. Pretty sure the rest of them thought we were insane.
I really hate that arms warrior no longer has overpower.
they don't? THEY DON'T??!!! WHY THE FUCK DID I BUY THIS GAME???
oh the humanity *cries*
Why the fuck would remove Overpower
#Blizzardlogic
MyViolador well it was *OP*
MyViolador The removal of Overpower hurt my arms warrior so bad I've spent all of WoD in fury.
Can't wait for Legacy of the Priest! Thanks for making these.
How can Peach be suffering insomnia and night terrors at the same time?
+Dan I see what you did there
I can't believe I forgot about the quests for defensive and zerker stance! AWESOME!
Vanilla leveling was the worst on Warrior... 100%
Paladin says hi.
Paladin says hi? It was super easy for paladin. Sure, it was way more boring than warrior, but also a lot faster, smoother, less dependent on gear and you wouldn't die that often. I know cause I leveled both.
I love the music you play when you discuss it. Its just hilarious
I loved that little skit XD
these just keep getting better and better
The infamous legacy of the warrior is now here, prepare your anus!
Please make a legacy of the mage next, we all love mages and I think it would be nice too since a lot is about Jaina :)
***** Well um.. You guys aren't as important as mages :S
***** How can you tell? Blizz is really unpredictable imo, since wration was talking about the burning legion entire damn MoP and before MoP they were talking about "the big war"... When did that happen?
Also mages> Priests :)
***** Yeah yeah, we've all seen the shadow "damage", it's barely there.
***** Right, about that... We all know you're gonna end up bad anyway, warlock>mage/boomy>everything>spriest.
***** Who cares about leveling? That's not even remotely relevalt. I can almost promise you the majority of people wanna watch legacy of the mage than priest.
I almost cried of nostalgia on the WoTLK part, such amazing times to be a warrior. All the stances macros, all the races for top dps on Saurfang, the joy of getting Deathbringer's , the guild effort to get you the Shadowmourne....oh , those were good times indeed.
Mages next pls
your intro really made me happy and proud that i use warriors and warriors only
OMG that insane asylum clip LOL
I hope he'll do this for all classes. These vids are awesome!
lol the wii remote
Your videos of WoW are the best, keep it up man!
Great vid preach, brought back all my old vanilla memories of mortal striking faces off.
Mike your legacy videos are your best content. Can't wait to see more.
Had a lovely flashback to Wrath Fury Warrior DPS. It was such a fun spec back then before all the Raging Blows, Colossus Smashes and Wild Strike bullshit it is today.
I played both a Fury Warrior and a Feral DPS Druid back in Wrath as a main for a time. Both extremely fun classes. First one the bare minimum of a rotation coupled with incredible mobility and hard hitting abilities. And Second an uncategorized mess of a impossible to do correctly rotation that still does a butt ton of damage. Basically two absolute opposites that were both just so incredibly fun to play.
You no longer have that in WoW. It's mostly just complexity for the sake of complexity.
I found your channel by accident yesterday and I have to say, you have some really nice content. Keep it up!
