“Thank you for watching the legacy, we’ll be having them come out much much faster”
14 months later....
For real... really want a hunter and a shaman one
:(
17 months and a old friendship breakup later for pitiful crap later...
tbh though.... you don't need to be a YT content creator to recognise that this line of Preacher videos take a LOT a metric fuck TON of work going into them. Not to speak of the fact that with each passing year or expansion rather, the legacy gets longer and more to be told etc etc etc
@@Bitterman5868 what?
the skit about Preach explaining Lightwell to Ghost had me rolling because it reminds me exactly of a discussion on the exact same topic I had to a mate of mine.
I remember macroing in a /yell and asking for raid lead so i could do a /raid warning "CLICK THE LIGHTWELL" only to check my healing meters at the end and see it had been clicked prehaps once or twice all fight. "Wasnt near it mate"... standard
Same, it was a hassle of the unforgiving kind to teach people about the "lightwell"...
I had the exact conversation with someone... was my favorite part of this video!
Robomagic _ yep same thing for e I was dying! Hahaha
Forgot to mention that the heal dropped off if you took damage tough.
Lord that Lightwell skit was fucking hilarious
i'm still dying i remember these convos in my guild!!!!
34:50 You won't fool me! Dat apple was already bitten! This was a 2nd take!
Is that a bad thing?
@@topazlynx2228 you get 25 to life in some parts of Hollywood for that.
I cant thank you enough for the legacies, its been my favorite youtube content ever. Great ideas and great editing, keep it up bois
Ten years after and still fun to watch these legacy videos. Please finish what you started ❤❤❤
Don't forget the holy nova spam, with that talent that converted all healing the priest did into a shield, during SoO. What a time, topping healing meters with holy nova.
That life grip role-play at 33:40 was both mesmerizing and horrifying. You win the the internet this day Preach
Kinda sad he hasn't finished his legacy vids on all the other classes, I can only imagine and dream of the skits that would leave me unable to breathe and a Warlock was needed to save me from dying by sheer laughter
@@eagercadet4059 Yep. Has he mentioned why he stopped?
@@Noriaela I haven't delved personally into it and this was a while ago but from what I was told Preach got into an arguement with his mate Andy about what the channel should focus on.
Preach wanted to branch out to other MMOs incase when WOW finally (and actually) dies since even though I have heard good things about Dragonflight theres signs that the expansion isn't doing well in terms of playerbase, he even boycotted WOW during Shadowlands becase the expansion was just that bad.
Andy wanted to focus on WOW since that is what the channel has been about through most of it's life and as such what makes them the most views (and revenue).
They went their separate ways since.
The truth could be more simpler though in that finding concrete evidence of what a class was like throughout WOW's history is hard to find + that with each expansion, more gets added that is needed to be told.
Oh shit, I wasn't ready.
Also 33:40 might be one of the best moments in my life to date.
Same hahahaha
Really didn't see that coming. xD
You were not prepared!
Give It To Me Baby
Bis
YES YES YES! Preachs legacy videos is so good that i will have to prepare some proper food and setup my movie theater mode for it. i'm so excited :D
3 YEARS LATER, NO NEW LEGACY VIDS :(
It took 6 years, but we finally have a new legacy vid!
I absolutely LOVED playing Holy in Cataclysm. It was so satisfying pushing buttons and seeing your whole monitor go green and feeling that you are actually healing the raid. It's probably the thing that got me into playing support classes in the first place.
Genuinely one of my favourite legacies to date - you can seen the potential for others and I adore how far PG has come.
Fantastic job, guys ^^
Think in TBC part of the Shadow Priests you missed the impact of the crafted "Frozen Shadoweave" items. Back then those had huge bonus to shadow and frost spells, which was the main reason, shadow priests dominated in the first tier of TBC. While damage to mana conversion was still the thing that made shadow priests desired, the damage was no longer the factor, and only on few specific fights priests were high on rankings.
Stoic Taurus lol shadoweave was bis for a few classes until t6/t7 lol
he talk about it on his burning crusade legacy
Shadoweave was broken. For more than priests. It was arguably the most OP set Blizzard ever made.
Shadowweave and spellfire were BIS for locks because it boosted both your shadow and fire damage.
Yes! Guildie had this set and did amazing things in heroic dungeons.
As a long-time Priest - thank you for this video, from the bottom of my heart
This vid is spot-on! Especially the lightwell part, 17:57 absolutely laughed my arse off, well done guys! Cheers!
OHHHHHH a new legacy video OMG!!!!!!
My body is ready
I'm still waiting legacy of cata.....
Pp
I still need Legacy of the Hunter. I genuinely wanna know how they were back from Vanilla to Legion.
I know right?
This is all wrong preach, you never covered using your wand while oom. Gotta rock those damage meters with imba wand deeps!!1!
Don't forget that we did use bandages as well while regenerating mana!
@@Traumglanz As a lock, bandages WERE mana!
Getting up on a Saturday, eating a breakfast and watching a legacy vid. I love it.
Awesome job Preach & Co. As someone who's had an off and on relationship with WoW, it's super cool to see your perspective on how the game has progressed.
This was the series of videos that initially got me to subscribe to this channel. Sat there and binge watched them all. So good to see another one come out.
Also, brings up the point that I think people are still looking at classic wow through rose tinted glasses all the bad gameplay elements from it (e.g. threat management or going afk for mana regen)
If classic has so much bad gameplay, why do I have 650 hours played on a private server character then?
Ok, so maybe "bad" gameplay is the wrong choice of words. It was still a good game. But it does have elements that cause the player to not interact with the environment (e.g. going out of combat to mana regen in fight). Not ideal in my mind.
I just think the player base overwhelming just remembers to good parts while reducing the bad or buggy parts of vanilla wow.
The things is. Most of these "bad parts" people are mentioning about vanilla WoW is not necessarily bad. It is mostly things that slow the game down, so it's not just a zerg fest anymore.
I wouldn't mind having AoE looting and stuff like that in vanilla WoW, but I don't like the way they removed cool questlines like the key for BRD and stuff like that.
To me the answer is not vanilla 100% like it was in retail vanilla. I just miss the feeling vanilla gave you, and that feeling can be achieved in a more modern way than how retail vanilla did it.
Andreas Kampf I think that is what people are really looking for is the feeling and memories they had from vanilla wow. Which is different for almost everyone.
I really hope that classic wow lives up to the hype for those in the community asking for it. I just don't know if that will happen is all. But, good to see blizzard trying to address a growing base within the community.
And now we're getting Classic servers, which is going to be extremely interesting when all these people going "vanilla was better!!" get a very rude awakening.
Aight, I'm only halfway through the video. But I just have to say; the skits in this legacy are on fucking point. 10/10
Preach you are so extra I freaking love it!!!!! Keep up the good work been here for years don't see myself leaving anytime soon my man!!
Finally after over 10 months, the reason I found this channel in the first place. A LEGACY!!!!!
YEEES, YESSSSSSSSSS
Oh, god. I had to forgot all about the lightwell! I remember all the times in dungeon wipes the priest would yell "IF YOU ONLY PRESSED THE LIGHTWELL!" and they all eventually made macroes spamming "PRESS THE LIGHTWELL!"... Good times.
The Legacy videos have always been my favorite content on this channel, and likely my favorite WoW content on TH-cam. I know they take a lot of research/time, but it's always great to see a new one.
Thanks!
As a priest main since the middle of TBC, can I just say, bless you! This was wonderful! :D
My body wasn't ready
My soul wasn't ready
*Prepared
CHRISTMAS FINALLY SHOWED AFTER 2 MONTHS
Gotta say that the fighting scene in the beginning had no CGI and was easily the best fighting choreography I've ever seen.
Hahaha the little skits were perfect. I never understood the light well but it seemed like a cool spell. Loved the humor.
I started off my fascination in this franchise by first playing a priest since a little after naxxramus, (here’s the kicker) in Hearthstone. Been playing priest ever since and it even led me to actually check out wow cause of it. Thank you Blizzard for the priest!
Preach, thank you for this one mate
Big up for mentioning (and the way of mentioning) Hydra, Preach. Easily explains why I loved your channel so much since the day I discovered it. You have all my moral support, and I will probably consider now supporting you via Patreon. Have a very nice day!
I’ve been waiting for this one for a long time. So when I woke up this morning to seeing this notification on my phone I was so happy. Thanks preach you just started my Saturday off great
How far in do you think the teacher got before she turned off the video?
the "kill alot of people" line.
Please don't remove the nutshot from future legacies mike, I will personally send you a protective cup if need be :D
I doubt he's going to. Endless nutshots is a way of life for men. It sucks, but it is also our burden.
By Far the best Legacy video of all time, you boys have set the bar too high for the future. Congratulations you have figured out how to make these highly entertaining. Well done.
The advantage of the shadow priest in vanilla is in the later patches when the number of debuff slots is raised, in turn making it viable to take a shadow priest to a raid to provide the shadow-weaving debuff, which gives a 100% chance to increase shadow damage taken by the target by 15%. While a shadow priest's individual dps may not be mind blowing, when you consider its spells are increasing the damage dealt by all warlocks by 15%, their uses become obvious.
E: This was a good watch.
Indeed, this was the reason I was in BWL and AQ40 as shadow from time to time. The warlocks loved me.
Though I always was in raids who liked to experiment. I was playing from time to time as a holy damage priest in BC raids as well. And iiirc even in Sunwell. We always had to many tanks and healers and even more ironically, we always just reduced the numbers of healers in raid to get enough damage for encounters. Which led to basically all healers needing to learn how to play as damage as well … because needing re-spec to damage was all the common with us. Especially the priest … I think we run Brutalus from time to time with 4 shadow priests and just 5 healers. Other encounters we did with 8 healers instead. It was an expansion of constant re-specs.
guess I'll be rolling priest for BFA..
"don't click it too much....seriously"
Wow this aged well after classic launched lol
Been watching these Legacy Videos for a long time and this one was great . keep em coming.
1 HOUR OF CREAMY GOODNESS
... I was waiting for the whole video to hear about the Legion Priest...
With how late in the expansion it is, I was surprised nothing at all was said.
I love this one... played priest ever since vanilla more or less and wow, yes, you hit the point :D
I really miss these
MAMAAAAAAAAAA! NEW LEGACY VIDEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
.........I kinda really like the idea of a Disc tank.
A cloth tank is certainly a unique idea xD
@@megamage911 SWTOR has it with the Sith Assassin (and whatever it's Jedi equivalent is). It's the hardest tank to play since it relies on anticipating spikes with cooldown usage more than the heavy armored tanks.
@@EloquentTroll I can't believe I didn't think of that, considering I actually DID play Sith Assassin when I was playing SWTOR haha xD Though that was years ago.
@@megamage911 I hopped back in about a year ago, and all the memories how awkward they are to heal came flooding back. I main Sith Sorcerer as healer and they get really testy about when they should get an absorb bubble and when they shouldn't for reasons I don't fully understand.
Love it, great, fantastic, awesome and all I want from a legacy video. Keep the up the great work mate
18:00 This whole moment has got the to be the best moment. Props to the acting. I definitely was a multi-clicker on the Lightwell. lol. xD. "Don't do that, people do that. Don't do that!.......... ONCE!.... I'm fucking seriou-Don't waste it."
18:03 ok i lost it there good job man :D :D
"No shoes is racist right?" had me dying at 25:18
Perfect timing, I just finished binge watching all of your other legacy videos.
Hahaha thank you preach I havn't laughed that hard in a while and needed it after work today but you running down the street with a plastic bubble almost made me fall out my chair :)
That Absolution cosplay is on point
Dammit, Now I remebered how good priest was in MoP X_x
Something to be said, I love new shadow as well. But TBC and MoP shadow were both very awesome times to be playing Shadow.
To be honest, BC was rather boring as shadow. It was an easier version of warlock basically, while scaling worse, but bringing the best utility in the game to the table. The mana batteries were just that good, sure, but they were not especially challenging to play. I was annoyed by how often I had to play shadow just to make encounters easier for us.
Man theres something special about your commentaries, very refreshing. Love the British touch!
Amazing as always. I nearly passed out with laughing at the life grip and lightwell skits. Fantastical!!!
LONG WE HAVE WAITED
Nice treat at 3AM in California
HOLLLLLLAAAAA Cali ballaaaas
I have waited for this exact video for soooo long! I LOVE YOU!!
I nearly passed myself on the bubble bit. Great job guys
Do Druid/Shaman/Hunter Legacies please.
I fucking love this show dude
You guys srsly out did yourself with the effects this time :D
new legacy video, yes!! Thank you Preacher, even if I don't play wow anymore I still watch your videos.
This is probably the best Legacy of (CLASS) video since the Warrior one. Looking to the next one!
How about a Legacy of the Shaman or Druid, Hunter? We need moar!
Magnifique indeed! Too bad you didn't mention one of the most iconic priest spells to date - Mind Control. And the concealed new world you could discover in dungeons and raids during Vanilla and TBC - the NPC spells! Like 300 +spellpower buff in Botanica or otherworldly powerful Warlock's Seed of Corruption in Shadow Labyrinth.
I loved MC during dungeons, and it was decent all the way into Cata, the goblins mages in Throne of Tides could generate insane AoE damage, and who could forget those early days when you could use MC to throw mobs to their deaths in Vortex Pinnacle...good times :)
I was expecting a mention at least of benediction/Anthema and the decent challenge the quest was to complete!
I’ve wanted this video for so long, thank you preach
So stoked for a new legacy video!! That intro was fire
As a WoW player of 6 years who has 1 character, a Gnome Priest - I have been waiting for this one Mike ! Cheers mate !
How r u able to stand playing a gnome priest of all things?!
Better racials for healers; able to break roots and snares (invaluable in Legion PvP since everyone and their dog has a snare), extra mana. Besides, some people prefer smaller characters.
R D damn dude I wish I had the dedication to play one character for that long
@@TheSpartan88888 I play a rogue 13 years.....
SHAMAN!!
OMG that ending was fucking GOLD! Very good video guys!
With a wife who has main'd a priest (who saw that coming, Drama Time chat?!) since vanilla to now, I have a much better appreciation to what she had to endure during her years of raiding!
Can't wait for more legacy videos, lads! I find myself re-watching them on a regular basis. Amazing stuff and very inspirational!
The reason why there my #1 youtubers and I haven't played wow in over a year. Class
Still waiting for druid... :)
Skyzzer Druid, shaman, hunter, (dk, dh).
Shamannnnnnn
Super hype for druid
Eyyyy best class
Been a few months since I've seen a video (stopped wow, have college, work), but I couldn't pass up a Legacy video. Some of my favorite material on youtube!
I LOVE THIS VIDEO keep it up preach and ghosty!! lovin all the small jokes inside the video like the "give it to me baby"
the grip!! LOL!
[MAXIMUM ERECTUS]
Although at 24:00, there aint a single teddy-bear in frame xD
YESSSSSSSSSS! Can't wait for the rest of the classes!
Good, goooood!
I have been playing a S/Priest since BC, I even had a BG Twink, too much fun!! Seeing this vid reminded me of so much, I think I may have been so traumatized by the chakra thing, I blanked it from my memory for a while until you reminded me, I'll send you my shrinks bill (jk). Thanks so much for the vids you do on the Disc, SPriest, and Holy!! I am getting my mojo back for my Disc, and am looking forward to using her in more dungeons and raids. When I got back into the game after a bit of convalescent leave and seen how she had been gutted, I went right to a DH, and then to your vids... again, thank you.
2:57 should have named him Asmongold
Gottem Good “Bald”
My boy, Asmongold?
17:59 Lightwell: "It isn't clear if people ignore the Lightwell, or if it is just invisible."
Must be some early phasing technology. Only you could see the well ;-)
This was an excellent legacy video. The bubble running. Dear god the bubble running.
Literally love these Legacy videos! Thank you Mike!
YOU HAVE NO MANA!!!
Priest Gaming
A well done fucking job, as always, Mr. Preach Man. It's not super old, but shit I'd LOVE to see a legacy of the Death Knight video.
Thank you so much, this is your best content, and the most enjoyable Warcraft content I that I've ever seen.
That paragon UI
BIS
Too bad Preach and Ghost aren't friends anymore...
That part
What happened??
Why?
They are… just not CO workers lol
Great video as always. These get better and better with each one
Loved the video, Preach! The IRL PW:S was really the highlight of my day.
Disc was NEVER supposed to be a melee spec. It's a damn myth. There's no evidence or clarification from Blizz that Disc was anything more than another healing spec.
Shadow is great now lol. Void Elf Shadow Priests ftw :P
Pandaren Shadow Priest for life. You Alliance can keep your poopy Elves ;].
looking forward to gank you mr panda who came from the worst xpac ever made, nom nom nom nom nom
Pretty sure Panda's weren't introduced in WoD or Cata
pretty sure cata was better than mop, but wod and mop are pretty much the same level, (trash)
Heavily disagree but that is just my opinion. MoP might not be considered the best when it comes to Lore but a good amount of people (including myself) consider it to be some of the best gameplay WoW has had. The only thing I hold over MoP is WotLK
Still sat here waiting for legacy of druid
Legacy of the DK next please! I love these legacy videos, I just found them yesterday and have binged them all. You got my sub, and keep up the good work!
