Why do you keep spreading the bullshit about the one button Ret rotation? I don't understand what you are getting out of propagating that nonsense over and over. It's a large DPS loss and Enhancement could feasibly do the exact same thing with similarly tanked DPS since they are also first come first serve. Stop telling people to one button macro shit
I came in expecting a 10-15 minute video, looked down and got disappointed seeing it was only 3-4 minutes. Then I looked again and it was actually close to 4 hours! Great stuff, must have taken a lot of time researching this as well. I rarely comment on videos but this definitely deserved a like and comment (I'm already subbed ofc) for the quality content. Keep up the good work!
you really dont appreaciate your time do you? topic that is effectively for 10 minutes stretched for 4 hours and you are even happy about it..bizzare...next time he can make 10hours video of just of a wallpaper of WOW and you would applause...
You've ruined me. On a whim a month or two ago I hit up a Vanilla private server after not playing WoW for _many_ years, and I thought that was going to be all I'd ever want to touch again regarding the game. Then I stumbled across your channel and started binging videos. Now I'm re-subscribed and playing WotLK Classic as we speak. FML.
My second favorite was MoP. Granted, my bars got crowded, but if I'm honest I loved it. On my hunter for example I swapped to survival and I thought at first that there were too many, but before the end of the first patch my tune changed to "BLIZZ GIVE ME MORE BUTTONS!!!!"
Thank you so much for putting in the time and effort into this video WillE! Clean, thorough, and entertaining. Appreciate having you in the classic community :)
Thankyou for the ultra breakdown of every spec in every possible situation!! I'm definitely going to try "Pret" pala now, sounds sick, also I have to say this... OH MY GOD the editing in this video is superb!! Such tiny and subtle effects to enhance the focus on everything you say, for an editor like me this is SUPERB, the third person medium shots whenever you used a skill on allies were sweet, the Crossfade instead of cutting to the Main topic of Talent tree Showcase imperceptibly returns the viewer back to the point as forced backtracking, the minimizing of the gameplay window with blur on the back further enhances the focus point to the entire screen without eye restrains! Everything in this is an editing masterclass!! Congratulations for your hard work!!
So I just chose rogue two days ago starting fresh and I almost feel like I made a mistake since I feel near useless during dungeons. This video put me a little at ease. Thanks.
Thank you for the amazing content! I watched the entire video on one go! Informative, detailed and the editing done is very nice. Much love from Bulgaria (:
@@ChinnuWoW because all he did was stich together every existing video hes done for the classes and slap on "class picking guide" to farm the algorithm. Don't forget code "wille" for 5% off restedxp!
Due to the way damage came in within raids, HoTs were op. I always topped the meters with my druid. Towards the end of WotLK, that began to change and my overhead Vs actual heal started to decline. Good knowledge of encounters is super important to be able to queue up those hots.
1:27:46, Actually you just need to be tracking any one of them from the list to activate against them all. If you are tracking undead, you'll still get the bonus on humanoids, beasts, etc. No need to be swapping constantly
@@bartok1378 Why would you need that macro if you don't need to swap? Just track one and be get the bonus against all of them at once. I prefer to track whatever I'm not fighting so my minimap isn't agony to look at. Again, you get the bonus against all target types listed, so long as you track one of them.
As a GM of a competitive speed running guild this video is a wealth of information and value to me. Thank you so much for taking a chance at making a very long form video. Great stuff.
Big respect for making it all in one video. Instead of milking one topic in 15 different videos, like some other TH-camrs do :) Also congratz on you Blizz colab
Thanks for your videos I haven't played wow since Wotlk was originally launched and tomorrow I'm going to start off where I left of all them years ago.
@@freedmfe8934 The editing is what makes it. Yes, all the info is out there already, but the delivery is what counts. If it’s not your cup of tea, then fine
the power word: shield on non-group members is SO useful in open world content. you can cast it on quest npcs (escort quests!) and its much more reliable to save some random you come across whos dying, instead of having to cast a 1.5sec heal. this change is super underrated, but its so massive!
HOLY SHIT WILL E JUST DROPPED A DAMN BOMB I love planning when im gonna watch the big cinematic private movie you made just for me (atleast thats what it goddamn feels like) Will bE enjoying this banger, thanks for the big effort Will, love ya
Did 2s arena with a resto druid, I was a surv hunter. It was a lot of fun, also a wasp is a great pet for pvp with its anti stealth sting. Procing L&L is the high priority move, but plenty of other stuff to do in between.
Great video! Thanks for the great content you've been putting up! For the rogue bit, I believe that dmg buffs such as tricks do not stack. So if you put two stacks of tricks on someone, both threat increases would activate but only 1 dmg buff would activate.
@@freedmfe8934 I'm guessing you never edited video before. Even just simply combining videos is a big task. Going back and updating segments, fixing errors, and recompiling for a mastercut would seriously take a huge amount of work.
I still remember Death Knight could run a diseaseless Blood spec and just heart strike spam to the top of meters for a bit. All 3 specs could tank or dps which was fun. And PVP was a damn nightmare initially with WAY too much CC from DKs.
I’ve been having this discussion for soooooo many years! DKs could just tank and dps in any spec. Frost 2h tank was the reason I went frost but no one I talk to remembers this.
@@thelastlaughh8614 You 100% could tank or dps in any spec. They all had different strengths. You still wouldn't want to dual wield as a frost tank tho.
@@nofuneral6754 That blood spec won't be viable now because all the talents are 3.3.5. Blood is only viable for tanking unfortunately, because it gives no class specific raid buff. A weird one on Warmane was duel wield UH which worked really well, but 2h UH / duel wield frost is always king
@@Ge01O Yeah they patched out diseaseless blood during Wrath. All specs in Wrath are viable honestly, unless you're going for realm first pushing the entire raid for everything its got.
The thing about wanting to play Blood PvE DPS is that it is a cleave heavy plate melee spec that pretty much gears like a fury warrior. Meaning you're dependant on high armor pen, which isn't available until final phase and you're also competing with fury warriors for STR+ARP gear while also not pumping as high as fury. In my honest opinion, Blood DPS seemed like it was the intended PvP spec and it's good in solo BG's as well as arena. Hits really hard with 2H in Blood Presence, personally I've gotten 20k crits with Death Strike and Heart Striker, plus lots of self heal and big defensive CD's. You treat it pretty much like an Arms Warr.
Great information. I noticed some changes I think were made in Classic Wrath than were in the clips. For example with warlock I believe curse of elements is 11% dmg now instead of the 13% dmg. But ultimately I'm super excited to wreck with my warlock!
Pre-patch took my warlock from being a pretty steady leveler to an OMG IS THAT ALL YOU GOT? MOAR ENEMIES! I'M UNSTOPPABLE! Seriously though, my dps basically quadrupled.

@@pyktukasplays4945 It didn't last long for me, I got bored with it rather quick.

I hate the name "preg" pala, though I know it's the person's name. X_X
its not like that brings him huge paycheck right. and this video feels like reupload
FYI: This spec only exist on private server Warmane and never was played on actual Wotlk 2008-2010
I played around a bit with Preg Pala on Warmane it was super fun to play in 2s with a mm hunter, udk, enh shaman or a rogue.
Crazy long video packed with information! Amazing work WillE!

Thank you lol thats very helpful to know.
Also, melee weaving is no longer a thing for hunters as it shares GCD with the auto shot. So not worth it
There's a macro you can use for hunters mark that will swap your tracking to whatever type of creature you put hunters mark on.
