Ihor Pozdniakov Stuff like that, abilities that are heavily underused for their class but other classes would find them incredibly useful if they had them. Doesn’t have to be based on current WoW, past expansions might make it interesting. Vanilla based maybe?
I like the idea of skills that are just an upgraded version which replace their weaker, early game variants. (Not that you have two skills, but the weaker becomes the stronger one) It feels like your character evolves more. Yes it is useless and maybe even a bit confusing for newer players, but I think it's an nice RPG thingy. Sadly WoW seems to have cut a lot of these little RPG touches..
That is pretty much how it works now with the rank system while leveling though. I haven't leveled from scratch in AWHILE, but some abilities just do damage at rank 1 that you get at say level 2, and then at rank 2 at level 34 or something they get another effect, another charge, some bonuses, so on and so forth.
I think it was just a effect of the tech at that time. If they couldn't add an effect to a current spell, they just added an upgraded version of that spell with a similar name. With current tech they can add effects that scale with level.
@@amethonys2798 What bugs me is that stuff all happens automatically. There's no player agency. No room to screw up. No reason to be invested in what you're doing because you know it'll just lead to you winning. It's like the modern MMO philosophy is "raid and pvp game with a glorified multi-week-long character creator and tutorial". It's not about the journey anymore.
@@jarofpickles4057 I assumed it was still in game. Just because I don't play a warlock doesn't mean I'm not sad when they remove class flavor spells. It was a fairly iconic warlock spell.
Fel Armour felt so rewarding to train back in the day. I remember pushing hard for those first two levels. It really was satisfying to have an optional armour, it increased my gameplay experience dramatically as it permitted me to think situational.
I remember sweet time when warlocks were tanking Leotheras and other heavy shadow dmg encounters during BC. Pity Blizzard gave up on making demon warlock a somewhat tanky semi-melee semi-caster like ench shammys, because they already had so much potential. P.S. I'm talking about WotLK and Cata, haven't played WoW since then.
In MoP Demo warlocks had somewhat tank-spec, which would make them a decent tank to an extent, it wouldn't really make them nearly as good as actual tanks so nobody really played it that way, having that Affliction spec was way better in terms of raid benefits. The ability was called Dark apotheosis that would give you extra armor and damage reduction based on your mastery and transform some of your abilities into their "tank version", one of them soulshatter being transformed into taunt, Magic ward being transformed into 200k health absorption on use (cost 200 demonic power(their class resource at that time, the analog of soul shards or flame embers)) and so on. It was nice to play in solo content actually, I would enjoy tanking some 5ppl heroics with my warlock. That was fun. What a shame blizzard prefers not to risk anything when designing raid instances nowadays, I feel they just don't care about people having fun in their own way anymore, they prefer to just guide people through the content as they "intended".
In legion, demo/aff warlock could tank up to mythic 10 dungeons due to soul link and their passive dps based shield, as well as aff's absurd health regen
i remember my void walker used to off-tank in case tank loss aggro in low content or anything goes wrong , so i ask my team do you guys want 2ndary tank or do you want imp 10% stamina ? , it was so cool , now non of that exist , hell im even a pvper and void walker shield was amazing even if i play demo during say TBC/wrath , but now ? nah its a joke

Demon armor wasn't just self healing, but affected all healing. You used to switch to demon armor in pvp through wrath when facing warriors and rogues because you could mitigate their healing reduction.

@@razvanagafitei502 You are correct, in the novel Lord of the Clans, Drek'thar is blind all the time. And Warcraft lore, Drek'thar has been blind since birth, I believe that applies to both main and alter universe. The wc3 Farseer can see, and that might make some people think that Drek'thar, who is just using a Farseer model, looks like he can see too. I imagine Blizzard just does not want to waste time making a model more fitting to Drek'thar, and just reuse Farseer model.
The Lord of the Clans book says that he was blind. In WC3, they just used the regular Far Seer model and probably didnt bother to add a blindfold or something
@@hirumaredx love the lock vids; got me nostalgic about all the years playing my warlock, and thinking just how 1 ability could make it so satisfying to play
again for warlocks, forgotten specs. this might be hard to research, pre 1.12 a warlock could spec into Master Demonologist/Demonic Sacrifice/Ruin. also known as the Sac/Rez spec because the idea was that you could sacrifice a demon and gain the DS buff and have a paladin or a druid resurrect the demon to gain the Master Demonologist buff. The trick was in completing the resurrect cast. once you sacrifice the demon, it will despawn after 10 seconds and resurrect cast time was 10 seconds. Druid can obviously Bres the demon and I believe paladin had something that made their cast time quicker. I can't remember if I ever had a priest do the res. If all goes well then you will have an MD & and a DS buff. If you did this with a succubus it would be +25% to shadow. I used this to tank phase 1 of Nefarian (adds coming from chromies room not BWD). I would grab all high armor high stam cloth gear and use the voidwalkers MD/DS with soul link and spam hell fire. This is why I get worried for classic. This is a spec that only a pre 1.12 warlock raider would remember. I hope blizzard remembers. You obviously cant recreate this on private servers as those are meant to emulate 1.12.
Nice vid man! A video on the Monk beta/old abilities would be quite cool. I remember in the beta there was a tiger statue WW monks could summon. For every X damage you dealt it would summon a tiger to fight for you or something like that iirc. Plus we've lost some decent Monk abilities over the years. Spinning Fire Blossom, Dizzying Haze, Clash, Guard etc etc :)
I loved demon armor in Vanilla. The health regen from the armor was understated, but it added up and was particularly noticed when combined with other effects such as Life Drain, Demonic Sacrifice, and enchants. Demo warlocks could very seriously boost shadow resists with a combination of the armor and having the Fel Hunter out, and even more with +resists on gear. It was possible to really min/max the sucker. Fel Armor tended to be universally better in BC though. At the time I was under the impression that Bliz nerfed our spell damage just so they could give some of it back with Fel Armor, though... and that unfortunately also had the effect forcing Demon Armor out except for certain limited situations. I don't remember the spirit build in Wrath at all, but I didn't do any organized RAIDing in Wrath. -Matt
Can you do a history on druid shapeshift forms? Maybe you could go briefly into what requirements to get them used to be or cosmetic changes made through like items and toys ect? I'd love to watch that.
I'm not sure if you already made one of these, but I'm a demonology warlock who joined shortly before Legion and I noticed a huge difference in how the spec worked before and after the expansion. Some things you said in this video gave me the idea that there have been other major overhauls in the way this particular spec works in the history of the game. If you haven't already, could you do a video detailing all of those?
Its called ELVUI, its a complete UI overhaul, replaces a ton of stuff like titanbar, bagnon, sexy minimap, bars, chat, etc. it has its own launcher and can be abit daunting at first but it is super amazing, has an "Anchor mode" that allows you to see EVERYTHING and move it as you wish.
Does anyone know if warlocks have ever has a thorns effect at any point? I remember sometime in wrath at a low level in northshire some guy wanted the achievement for beating someone else in a duel and he talked me into letting him defeat me. I accept the duel and walk away from my computer, but when I came back I witnessed the guy somehow damaging himself as he was hitting me, winning me the duel. He then cussed me out and ran away. I don’t remember having an imp at the time and I didn’t put any dots on him, so it confused me greatly how I managed to win a duel without doing anything.
Can you do the history of flasks and other raid consumables? I’ve heard back in BC you needed a lot of raid consumables compared to now and of just three.
Small update because of new Talent Tree with Dragonflight. They are now returned again as two pount talents in the general tree for every spec making them passives. Demon Skin now comes back as a soul leech improver. With one point it actually reduces the effectiveness of Soul Leech by 2% for passivly recharge but with two points you now get every secon 0,5% health shield and soul leech can go up all the way to 15%. Fel Armor now has follow effectives. First per point it reduces the damage by 1,5% and additionally it makes that 5/10% of the damage that get absorbed by Soul Leech is absorbed again and instead get inflicted on you over 5 Seconds. And now as Affliction you want Soul Leech because at the same time they brought Life Tap back as a nerfed version for affliction warlocks called Soul Tap taking 8% of your soul leech armor for getting one soul shard.
Always thought that the demon armor image was an evil clown, since the icon is most of the time small thought it was a white face with a red nose (that blood drop). I'm not sure if there is enough info for a video of the story of throwing abilities of the rouge.
I miss the WotLK SP buff spec...it was little understood (always some lock wanting the raid spot because he thought he did more dps individually) but good raiding guilds built around certain specs like that and it required more thought.
it was really short for a really fun experience. There isn't that much to talk about though. I liked that spec, I wish they didn't remove it the very next expansion.
I don't know if that's a real topic but I would like to listen to the story of toys in WoW, cuz they became a big thing only after WoD, considering that most of the people didn't really know about a lot of them since most of them were a quest reward or a quest item or a random drop and a rare player would really notice them while questing (I, personally, didn't, I would just delete them, thinking "I would never use that one"). There weren't that many toys until MoP though.
Holy crap, I'm what 4 months old in this game, honestly getting bored of its mechanics and as a first glance Warlock lover you give me a whole panel to explore. Loved the video but as a long time Broodwars/SC2 player I would dare to say, what's wrong with you David Kim aka Blizzard balance cause yeah I don't have a single idea of who manages WoW PvP. PS : I guess I cannot realize how much my English sucks as b.... but well it's a genuine call so please excuse me. Awesome job Hiru
I used to tank Illidan and Kaelthas with my warlock, i felt so special jajaja, grinding a lot of gear with +shadow resistance or +fire resistance to keep up with the fight, those were the days :(
Gonna roll warlock when classic launches, it's going to be fun. See you all there, can't wait to kill some alliance scum! Mwuhahahah!!! Jk, wish the best for all. ^^
it was just a lame stat that wouldn't really matter for most healers. Nothing really interesting. Only healers using it were druids and holy priests, shamans/paladins/monks/discs didn't really need that stat considering not having a lack in ways to regen mana during combat.
Boring stat and made gearing incredibly annoying and forced every other caster spec to have talents or other passives to have the gear with spirit not be completely useless. Also as someone else stated, it wasnt very useful on quite a few healers. Shamans got more mana back from crits. Monks had their blue koolaid. Paladins just smacked people with judgment iirc. Druid Im pretty sure still had the massive mana regen innervate and even IF mana was tight, Disc priests had Symbol. The only real times you had mana issues was on the super long fights, but even then the longest fight for the later end of Spirit was Deathwing and you just didnt run out of mana after freeing kalecgos im pretty sure.
@@amethonys2798 It might've been useless in general, but I would still like to know more about the intention it was meant for, what kind of fantasy it was supposed to fufill but didn't type of curiosity I have for it. I play mainly rogue so spirit never had any stat relevance for me, ever. Would still like to know more about it though.
Lore wise I like to imagine Demon Skin gives the warlock a sinister appearance, their skin darkens or changes color to either green or red. Their eyes glow green and their facial features warp and change slightly to give them a demonic appearance. Demon Armor does all that as well as give them a slightly transluscent set of armour around their bodies that reacts when hit by the enemy.
Its actuallty a magical armor that coats the outside of their normal armor. this "Demon skin" or "demon armor" made using the souls of those they kill.
I'd like to see history of shaman shields, those went through a lot of changes and had many talent interactions. Would make for a better video than Lock armors
I miss when demonology warlocks had the other version of their demon form that had just permanent wings and literally turned you into an actual tank.... it also made you speak like demonic or eradun so any other locks no matter the faction could also understand you if they also had the wings up. It was such a great glyph and I loved it so much.... I miss it, my lock just doesn't feel the same anymore.
For some time during the ZA patch a mage could spellsteal the Fel Armor during a duel outside a dungeon and cpuld carry it inside the dungeon. tje duration was just long enough to have during a boss fight. good times
Yep, been doing heroic and normal each week for the past while to try for the green infernal... I have the red but I want the green... I am debating trying mythic but i dont have the skip to him on that.
Damn, I miss WotLK skills. Spellpower sharing, ranged rogues, flash of light as a viable spam spell... It feels like everything got clipped away in Cata :(
You should show all abilities from all classes which got proned away. I cant even remember anymore, thats how long it is we actually had fun classes in wow
those times when you have almost 7 K spell power as demonologi when everthing proced : D and you could make even more i did not have full bis ... was doing 50 k soulfires on wotlk and 13 k noncrit to fully geared pvp players...there was some kind of diminishing cause it never done crit with this high stats ...after procs dropped i was able to do 15-20 crits
im gonna be real the armor buffs were dumb af, i won´t cry any tears for them. they were just increased stats (which is boring) and besides some niche things like tank warlocks there was no point in them. i am still grateful that blizzard just got rid of em or made them passivs.

Can we please just have Demon Armour back baseline? Even if it's nerfed a little to make that happen. We can't pvp without it (unless an arena team with no physical dmg and even then 10% stamina is useful) and it makes pve awkward... we essentially have 2 pvp talents; and if you're destro you only have 1 pvp talent cos you're obviously taking Demon Armour and Focused Chaos (60% Chaos Bolt damage).

I don't know if that's a real topic but I would like to listen to the story of toys in WoW, cuz they became a big thing only after WoD, considering that most of the people didn't really know about a lot of them since most of them were a quest reward or a quest item or a random drop and a rare player would really notice them while questing (I, personally, didn't, I would just delete them, thinking "I would never use that one").
There weren't that many toys until MoP though.
Do a vídeo about the Redpath family lore/quest chain in Eastern plaguelands
How about the rise and fall of second wind?
how about History of Arenas, or something heavily pvp related
I miss MoP warlocks, mainly demo and destro. That was when I had the most fun playing a lock. Never forget that passive KJC.
Holy crap, I'm what 4 months old in this game, honestly getting bored of its mechanics and as a first glance Warlock lover you give me a whole panel to explore. Loved the video but as a long time Broodwars/SC2 player I would dare to say, what's wrong with you David Kim aka Blizzard balance cause yeah I don't have a single idea of who manages WoW PvP.
PS : I guess I cannot realize how much my English sucks as b.... but well it's a genuine call so please excuse me. Awesome job Hiru
More warlock content, Yesssssss!
Video idea. Updated hunter pet changes last one I see is 4 years ago. Should also have in there explaining how your pets gain stats
At 4:23 it says "increaed" instead of "increased".
Yeah thats an oopsie...
What about the history of the Hunter aspects?
I used to tank Illidan and Kaelthas with my warlock, i felt so special jajaja, grinding a lot of gear with +shadow resistance or +fire resistance to keep up with the fight, those were the days :(
Rest in peace Heroic Strike. You were too good for this world. But hiru if you would do a history on this, I would be very grateful.
History of Stances. Both Warrior and DK stances. I miss swapping to Frost Stance, equip my tanking 2hander and taunt over the boss when the tank dies.
Gonna roll warlock when classic launches, it's going to be fun. See you all there, can't wait to kill some alliance scum! Mwuhahahah!!!
Jk, wish the best for all. ^^
Reasons why spirit was removed from the game...? Or a simple history of the stat.
it was just a lame stat that wouldn't really matter for most healers. Nothing really interesting.
Only healers using it were druids and holy priests, shamans/paladins/monks/discs didn't really need that stat considering not having a lack in ways to regen mana during combat.
Boring stat and made gearing incredibly annoying and forced every other caster spec to have talents or other passives to have the gear with spirit not be completely useless. Also as someone else stated, it wasnt very useful on quite a few healers. Shamans got more mana back from crits. Monks had their blue koolaid. Paladins just smacked people with judgment iirc. Druid Im pretty sure still had the massive mana regen innervate and even IF mana was tight, Disc priests had Symbol. The only real times you had mana issues was on the super long fights, but even then the longest fight for the later end of Spirit was Deathwing and you just didnt run out of mana after freeing kalecgos im pretty sure.
@@amethonys2798 It might've been useless in general, but I would still like to know more about the intention it was meant for, what kind of fantasy it was supposed to fufill but didn't type of curiosity I have for it.
I play mainly rogue so spirit never had any stat relevance for me, ever. Would still like to know more about it though.
I always thought that Demon Armor's icon looked like an angry clown, since the icon was so small in game.
I been making videos, which is more likely to be watch more then others, guide videos or transmog videos?
Villains corner The Legend of Stalvan? that long quest chain you do in duskwood
I would like to see history of shaman shields.
We used our Lock back in Wrath to tank one of the Blood Princes in ICC
Lore wise I like to imagine Demon Skin gives the warlock a sinister appearance, their skin darkens or changes color to either green or red. Their eyes glow green and their facial features warp and change slightly to give them a demonic appearance. Demon Armor does all that as well as give them a slightly transluscent set of armour around their bodies that reacts when hit by the enemy.
Its actuallty a magical armor that coats the outside of their normal armor. this "Demon skin" or "demon armor" made using the souls of those they kill.
@@RazanaArcclaw Where did you get that from?

Do strongest dps in raid tier and expansion. Example Tbc , sunwell , Wotlk, Toc ect...
I'd like to see history of shaman shields, those went through a lot of changes and had many talent interactions. Would make for a better video than Lock armors
I miss when demonology warlocks had the other version of their demon form that had just permanent wings and literally turned you into an actual tank.... it also made you speak like demonic or eradun so any other locks no matter the faction could also understand you if they also had the wings up. It was such a great glyph and I loved it so much.... I miss it, my lock just doesn't feel the same anymore.
History of druid forms (with the old class quests)
I would like to see the history of feasts in warcraft. om nom nom.
I really liked Fel Armor in Lich King expansion!
For some time during the ZA patch a mage could spellsteal the Fel Armor during a duel outside a dungeon and cpuld carry it inside the dungeon. tje duration was just long enough to have during a boss fight. good times
How many times did he say the word "Demon" ?
182 I counted. (No i didnt, but A LOT.)
Enough to summon one
Casually getting Thori'dal while talking about warlock armors. Nice.
On a warlock though... been trying to get it on my hunter forever... then it pops up on my lock... ffs
@@RazanaArcclaw I got it on my Paladin 3 years before I got it on my Warrior, don't feel alone.
Do the story about shadow priests!
Oh mah lord I’ve been watching your videos for months because they pop up on my feed... I just now noticed I hadn’t been subscribed. Sorry :(

Would like to see the history of Paladin auras.
Did you solo hc gul'dan?
Yep, been doing heroic and normal each week for the past while to try for the green infernal... I have the red but I want the green... I am debating trying mythic but i dont have the skip to him on that.

Holy midrolls, Batman
Damn, I miss WotLK skills. Spellpower sharing, ranged rogues, flash of light as a viable spam spell... It feels like everything got clipped away in Cata :(
Man I miss the old demonology warlock 😢
You should show all abilities from all classes which got proned away. I cant even remember anymore, thats how long it is we actually had fun classes in wow
that would be like an hour long for each class

Sad knowing they will remove my beloved Fel Armor in the next expansion of calssic.

History of Warrior Stances
bring the piano background music please :(
those times when you have almost 7 K spell power as demonologi when everthing proced : D and you could make even more i did not have full bis ... was doing 50 k soulfires on wotlk and 13 k noncrit to fully geared pvp players...there was some kind of diminishing cause it never done crit with this high stats ...after procs dropped i was able to do 15-20 crits
demon skin/armor it incerased all healing by 20 % not just from hs potions etc... it was good for affli
Was mentioned a few times in the vid.
@@RazanaArcclaw in video was mentioned self heal like fa hs potions ... not heals from others
1:56 and 3:14
@@RazanaArcclaw yes as i mentioned self healing...from bla bla bla ...it was boost to all healing recived not just hs fa potions...
im gonna be real the armor buffs were dumb af, i won´t cry any tears for them. they were just increased stats (which is boring) and besides some niche things like tank warlocks there was no point in them. i am still grateful that blizzard just got rid of em or made them passivs.
Legacy of Racial Abilities with one for Each Race. explaining the history of racial abilities, the impact thier racial abilities used to have on the metagame at various points in history, and what specs in each expansion from introduction to BFA could actually use those racials effectively. patch by patch. starting with Vanilla races and working in order of release, don't to allied races.
Can we please just have Demon Armour back baseline? Even if it's nerfed a little to make that happen. We can't pvp without it (unless an arena team with no physical dmg and even then 10% stamina is useful) and it makes pve awkward... we essentially have 2 pvp talents; and if you're destro you only have 1 pvp talent cos you're obviously taking Demon Armour and Focused Chaos (60% Chaos Bolt damage).
How about the history of player titles like Jankons. Quil
