This will be the comment I edit if there are any errors/corrections. Horde version coming soon.
Edit: As Jarkynson pointed out, the arcane resistance does have some use for pvp as Sheep is an arcane spell!
Also, for tanking there's a discussion between Human/NE for endgame. Take a look at Mangs' comment below for more info!
here before it's edited
Hey, I like your videos. I just wanted to point out that the gnomish +10 arcane resist may be useful in pvp to resist sheep. And I uploaded a video about a shortcut from Menethil Harbor to Ironforge, it's on my channel, if you're interested. :) Cheers!
Scepter in Vanilla??? I thought Scepter came at the start of BC?
Great content, how long till horde version. Cheers mate
Before i keep watching this I have to admit one small enormous thing.
(Sry for my England):
I thought your hardest work was finding footage and the rest of things were what you lived, so YT was joyfull for you. Every video of you I see I realize more and more about the work behind it.
You know, I played during WOLTK and begining of Cataclysm, and I was good, but my game knowledge and point of perspective ingame were terrible,all I had was lore from my early childhood on W2 and 3.
I realize now the work you do because the more I watch the more I understand, and I understand more because I'm learning from your videos and I'm aplicating this knowledge to understand future videos and keep "snowballing".
Sure you love what you do, but the heart you put on it, the thinking of "I'm gona make this guys understand so they will be able to do it so they can enjoy like I did and will" is so pure that makes me happy for founding your chanel.
Thanks pal. Can't wait to play classic and let pop out the young nerd that wanted live amazing adventures in an amazing world... of Warcraft.
You didn't meantion the most impactful racial in all of vanilla.
Night Elves have about a 1/3 chance of doing a flip each time they jump.
And for class specific on night elves.
Rogues when stealthed and video speed is increased look as if they limp with one leg.
This ofcourse gives an increase in the video makers likeability.
If undead stealth animation is changed from how it was I will freak out.
This comment brought back memories, i tottaly remember jumping all over the place on my night elf hunter. I can't wait for wow classic so i can come back to the game i loved.
It's like a mean mention
@@VinderHD As far as I know, they are going with the old gfx on your toons. Meaning the same oldschool animations. Just the overall game/world you can select the higher gfx or classc ones.
Rogue 11:16
Warrior 15:43
Paladin 18:36
Mage 20:54
Hunter 21:48
Warlock 24:25
Priest: 25:06
Druid xD 29:00
keo thanks
Thanks mate
tysm
Omg, thank you!
you are a god man this guy made my penis soft
I remember how annoying it was being dismounted going through water when playing my Gnome. But I also remember how annoying it was not being able to see anything in tall grass due to being so short . . . and then I discovered that I could zoom out and didn’t have to play in 1st person view. :P
Lol that's awesome
I loled.
lmao wth
Everyone gets dismounted in water. Mounts can't swim that came with cata
@@choonbox we know
It just happened more often with gnomes
Macro for Night Elves:
/cast Shadowmeld
/use
Every time you mount up, you will shadowmeld first. Casting Mount while shadowmelded is great. Allows for easy escapes after resurrecting. Enemy will still have to wait 3 seconds to mount up, by that time you will be long gone.
Clever? Yes. Useful? Most of the time.
Playing on my blood elf Death Knight is gonna be so awesome in classic.
Reeeeeeeeee
@@francocorelli9079 You're the stupid one for thinking he was serious.
@@francocorelli9079 *blinks*
funnily enough there are both blood elves and death knights in classic. Just none are playable.
*but* DK was long considered over Warlock as the latter was deemed too powerful to be playable.
Good luck!
I'm rolling a Dwarf Paladin. They are swole with those massive muscles and that will make my heals STRONG!
Yeah i can't decide between dwarf paladin or priest
@@rudy1999 what did you decide?
gnomes are the best because they can hide inside a fireplace
Plus the bodies are easier to hide
They also can squeeze under the root behind the tree on the edge of Warsong Gulch (on the Alliance side, if I recall correctly).
If a gnome flag carrier hides there, only druids in cat form can get them out. Otherwise the gnome would just wiggle around to avoid line of sight of casters who try to get them and sit there forever.
@@Kligan That's hilarious...never knew about that one!
Or the wagon in AB mines
@@murutu1307 god I was so mad when that wagon disappeared. I always hid in there on my rogue so no one could sneak up behind me in the "get each other out of stealth" fights
I love all these wow classic guides. Keep it up Madseason you are doing great!
I hope it helps! If it's like the old days, it'll be a permanent decision this time around
Of all the race guides ive seen on youtube regarding vanilla, this is hands down the best ive seen. I love the in depth and overlook between all the race and class combos. Keep it up!
One thing you didn't mention for night elf hunters is feign death into shadowmeld. FD has a 30s cooldown, which you can burn off while in shadowmeld. Like monks in EverQuest, night elf hunters can use this to "sneak" through dungeons and do things that most other classes can't.
I can't believe I never thought to do that back in Classic and BC. I just loved being able to guard flags in WSG and surprise the enemy with an aimed shot and surprise cat attack.
Wow never thought about that, and I played an Iksar monk as my second class in EQ.
Probably in part my main was a Warlock, then my first alt was a rogue. Seeing as I needed to understand the class better, as a human warlock, and WoTF being insane early in Vanilla.
What dungeons did you mainly use this tactic for?
@@shadowwolf9909 I don't personally play a hunter, but I've seen this most often for DM North
I played a NE priest, much to my ever present shame and regret, as they are clearly the weakest PvE wise, and that's the way I went. Fun note though, my guilds first Rag kill, we got an "all out dps" call at the end in a desperation move, and so I got the kill with Starshards. Back then the animation scaled to the mobs size. Was a very very big Starshards.
I played a nelf priest too purely because of looks. Yeah yeah fear ward is powerful but it's not enough for me to stare at ugly dwarf animations for hundreds of hours on end.
Funnily enough, Night Elf is probably the best Shadow Priest DPS. Starshards is a very mana-efficient damage spell, and since it is a 6s channel it lets you regen some mana between casts as the 5sr begins at the start of the channel. Even just the base damage for Starshards is an almost 3:1 damage to mana ratio, and the long cast channel means that it benefits heavily from +SP. It is also not a Holy school spell so it should be useable in Shadowform.
Shadow Weaving also lasts 15s, so you can just replace Mind Flay with Starshards once you have Weaving stacked up.
Short of this, though, Disc-spec DPS Priest is also viable. Bring the utility and Power Infusion and you can do just fine!
Honestly, people put far too much emphasis on trying to meet DPS checks which are actually 2-3 times what they actually are in the game. I honestly hope to see some Starshards Arcane spec Priests.
I had a human shadow priest which was still fun since they just rekted everyone in PvP but as I got to understand the game more, I regretted not picking a dwarf priest for fear ward. I think I ended up leveling a dwarf priest in BC but that account got hacked.
Honestly, I wouldn't mind a NE priest since I never got to play around with star shards and at this point, I miss unique racial/class stuff that I'm considering rolling a NE or dwarf priest for Shadow priest fun. I'm just glad they'll be back in the game.
That's awesome! Amazing memories to have
0/10 Still don't know what race to pick for Druid.
ChrisStohl as mad said don’t take these to seriously, play what you enjoy.
@@R3ggz He's being Ironic, cause there's only one race to choose from :P
@@Az0rau he could go tauren? ;)
I suggest Dwarf! If it doesn't seem to want to let you just keep clicking until it does.
@@mattp6089 u stupid? Gnome is te onli truit class
I love your longform infomational videos. Keep watching them over and over!
Like many WOW players I am obsessed with classic wow. I will watch as many videos as you care to put out on that subject! Keep em coming and thanks!
i love how thorough you are with everything, its pretty staggering honestly.
Really happy to find some well-planned, thorough, no-nonsense videos in this era of live streaming headaches. Thank you.
I disagree on hunter. I think Night Elf is better. Strong as stoneform may be, I think all the Night Elf racials are quite useful to hunter. Outside of stoneform only the frost resist is much use for hunter. 9 more agility is actually significant in classic too, though not a huge difference I admit. Also 1 out of 3 jumps a Night Elf does a flip instead and that's what truly matters.
I think you value stoneform a tad too much, but all in all a great video. Got my noggin' jogging and helped me rethink some stuff that I thought I knew.
Nuclear Raven Personally I’m of the opposite opinion, but I think you raised some really interesting points!
I’ve seen some hunters pull off some pro moves with shadowmeld, but stoneform to me is one of the most powerful racials in the game. It’s useful in PVE, and a gamechanger in PVP. It just has so much utility in my eyes - classes that use DoTs are some of the most populated in the vanilla PvP scene, and you’ll rarely find a lack of opportunities to put it to use (plus, I guess a spiteful side of me loves the benefit of leaving rogues dead in the water). The 10% armor is just an additional benefit that often gets overlooked on an already great ability. I’m also not sure how sold I am on the 1% dodge for NE hunter - useful for melee engagements, but not against casters or other hunters.
I do think mad was right to say you could go either way though. Both are great options and I think it comes down to your play style. Personally I prefer to play a slightly sturdier hunter, so dwarf is better for me, but someone who likes pulling off ambushes or fancy tricks should definitely go night elf. Anyone looking to try out / return to hunter in classic should feel safe knowing that both are great options.
Though I’ll admit that I have no suitable defense against the night elf jump flips. Why can’t we dwarves look that cool while kiting 😔 Actually I’m picturing a beefy dwarf flipping through the air and I’m not sure whether that would be great or horrible, so I’m fine with just leaving the acrobatics to the night elves lol
Fantastic video as usual! Love getting hyped for Classic by watching your channel, keep it up!
The thoroughness in this video is so satisfying.
I wasn't too interested in playing classic, but the more I binge your videos, the more I keep thinking I might have to jump in. Thanks for always being straightforward with the realities of classic, I know it won't be easy to grind out but part of me thinks the community aspects of it will outweigh the grind. I look forward to finding out.
If you happen to be Alliance on the same !!!PVP!!! server as me, it will. I plan to rock that shit like never before. I'm talking volunteer PvP mercenary guild, AH corporation, and rare materials on lock down (E.I. devilsaur, magic dust, firewater etc.) all while supporting the Ally community and throwing in some RP events. Oh, and we won't be doing our jobs right unless 3/4 EPL towers are ours, 24/7.
/cries in night elf priest/
It's my birthday today and I can't think of a better way to spend it than to listen to my favorite monotone youtuber :)
I am literally adicted to your videos thank you for making them they are incredibly helpful and i always review them on my stream. Truly a amzing creator on youtube. Thank you.
Great guide, but I'm going to have to disagree a little on 17:20.
I am pretty sure humans are not considered the best PvE tanking class in Vanilla. At least on a very high level. When you get to a high level as a tank, you can generate threat just fine without relying on the +5 weapon skill racial.
The +1% dodge from night elves is far more valuable when you get into high-end content such as Naxxramas where bosses will hit you like trucks.
Rage also isn’t a huge issue in high raid-tiers because while you will be taking less damage as your gear increases, the bosses will also hit you progressively harder as you raid more challenging content. Rage might be an issue for off-tanks when mobs aren’t hitting particularly hard, but against any raid-boss like Patchwerk you will usually have more rage than you need.
When you reach this level, most of your reputations are also usually grinded out, so the +10% bonus isn’t helping you anymore.
Again, at a lower-level I definitely think humans take the cake, but on the high-end scale of things, I do believe most people agreed night elves were the superior tanks.
Excellent point. Because of how vanilla attack-tables worked adding 1% chance to dodge an attack can be more than a 1% damage reduction. Although since crushing blows and crits are pushed off the table last, it requires quite a bit of gear for that to be the case. As such the racial would actually become better the later in the progression you were. For leveling the talent is probably next to useless.
Not sure what chances warriors had to be missed, dodge, parry or block an attack at lvl 60 with pre-bis or raid gear. Would be interesting to know.
The importance of threat in classic cannot be understated, people are really good at minmaxing pve DPS nowadays and your DPS classes will produce huge amounts of threat. You need as much offense as possible to increase your threat gen. It's about how much threat your autos can produce in between your sunders/heroic strikes. All the way up through Naxx tanks are dropping defense to gain hit chance and crit chance in order to ensure their threat gen is high enough that the bosses stay on them, thus the weapon skill is still massive. Dodge is sort of an offstat for survival anyways, if you dodge you don't gain rage which hurts threat, but ofc there are some bosses that hit insanely hard and you want dodge for those few. Even if for some reason you're taking too much damage as a tank, 1% dodge from night elf racial wouldn't be the deciding factor in whether or not your healers keep you alive.
@@paulbuerger1792 I was about to tell you why you were wrong, but upon looking at sources it seems I was only getting half the picture. Apparently 5 weapon skill is 0,5% hit chance against a 60 mob, and only increases white hit dmg by 2% by reducing glancing blow penalty. But against a boss (63) those 5 skills increase hit by a whopping 3% because of a cut-off point, and increase white hit dmg by 9% (assuming no crits).
Now i get why they say Edgemaster's Handguards are BIS throughout all of classic. Having 12 weapon skill, while it only increases hit by 3,7%, increases average white hit dmg by 14%. And even if you don't have a racial weapon skill increase that's still equivalent to 3,2% hit and 13% white hit dmg. No realistic amount of strength, crit% or AP can compare to that.
This obviously also means weapon skill racials are UNQUESTIONABLY the best ones for melee classes in PVE. Enough that you should go out of your way to use weapons that utilize it. Few weapons up your damage by more than 9% in later stages, and why are you stealing such a good weapon from other guild members who make better use of it? Not to mention the sudden need for 3% more hit.
Thanks for the nudge in the right direction.
Nerds lol
Tho for ally, we will prob have threat reducing blessing on evry proper raid so it´s not as important. Also if i don´t recall wrong warrs had to stack up spell hit to get ther tounts to land.
Just 2 things to add about Dwarf stone form
1. many mobs/bosses applied powerful stacking bleeds, so dwarfs could fudge fights by getting up to like 7 stacks of a bleed than dropping them with stone form thus reducing the amount of tank swapping involved in certain fights.
2. Many bosses had reduced healing efficiency de-buffs, many of which counted as bleed effects and could again be dropped by a dwarf doing stone form.
Basically from what i remember about the server i played on every top alliance raiding guild had all human and dwarf warrior tanks and would not even except night elf warrior tanks because 1% dodge was laughable compared to human weapon skill racial and dwarfs stone form. But hopefully people will be nicer about excepting non max players to events.
Also about the 5 second rule - arcane mages restro druids and disc priest got talents for continued regeneration even while casting. Priest and druids got 15% where arcane mage talent got 12%.
So a mage using arcane armor + the arcane talent ended up with 42% regeneration even while casting thus making the humans 5% more spirit more valuable than gnome mages 5% more intelect; because the human mage would actually have more up time and do more damage in the long run.
And finally just wanted to bring up Human warlock with detect greater invisibility the fel hunters paranoia buff and perception could see a rouge without any stealth improvements at 40 yards away while cloaked....
😮
Stoneform was super pro on Moroes in Kara for the garrote. Not vanilla but it was still hax for that fight. You know, early on, when Kara was hard.
Huhuran. The fight you’re wanting to mention is Princess Huhuran. Stoneform + Divine Shield = what frenzy phase? As opposed to the Horde which had to actually do the fight.
Ya @@youtubesucksbutts it made Huhuran a lot easier; but also the 3 bug bosses in aq 20 all had de-buffs that would be removed by stone form.
Also in mq the core hounds would apply rend to people in melee and stone form dropped their rend.
But basically every dungeon after about lvl 30 you'd start getting mobs or bosses with bleeds poisons or diseases that could be dropped by Stone form. Even some of the ooze mobs in mauradon hit for "bleed damage"(not physical) or "poison damage"(not nature) so stone form gave you immunity to their damage for 10 seconds.
There was a lot of cool things you could do with Stone form in vanilla and Burning crusade but as mentioned in the video Stone form lost its bite in wotlk so 9 year olds... I mean death knights could kill them.
Keith The search for rouges always sounded like McCarthyism to me.
Horde Version please! This one is very well done and put together. Just stumbled upon your channel a couple days ago and have been watching all of the videos about classic. Love them keep up the good work!
Can't stop watching your videos!!! I love just hearing you talk about how cool wow is! I'm not even playing wow b/c I'm waiting for classic but I'll listen to your videos while playing other games. :)
One oversight is, gnomes are really good for rouges or warriors against players who click on their enemies (yes they exist) since their shorter model is hard to click on, especially if your charging and running about.
Throw in some shrinking effects to make yourself tiny and unless they auto-target; they won't tough you compared to everyone else!
Lol, that's a good point actually! Did not think of that...
@Gary Oak it's just something I found in battlegrounds. Ppl seem to chase me down more as a short race; especially gnome or goblin.
Usually ignoring others, but they seem to have trouble starting attack if you run around them.
Imagine a gnome demon hunter! XD
Im a nightelf mohawk
The best clicker will always be less than the worst tabber. Their skill is negligible in PvP if you are a tabber/hotkeyer/good player.
@@jacobring7274 im a clicker... my pinky cant tab. but i think i changed my S to tap i havent played WoW since Wrath i tried BC didnt like it so i quit
Tl;DR: Just pick whatever you want.
btw Druid is the hardest one to pick a race on ally side.
Equally hard on horde imo
Yeah. You pick male:
Get perpetually pissed face. Each cast feels like your character is gonna lay an egg.
You pick female:
Oh boy, all the stereotypes
@@Issengrim what stereotypes
@Saxtoni lots of naked female characters dancing?
nah, it's shaman
Nice to see u preparing the ground for wow classic. I'm sure you will be the the benchmark channel for wow classic info
That new ending graphic looks good man. I’d like to see a little more of the MadSeason signature armor colours though. Keep it up!
Shadowmeld + the old Aimed Shot + slow crossbow = 1 shots in PvP in Vanilla.
can confirm ^
This does not work in classic beta... 😪
Anything can be one shot in Vanilla, warlock with 10k shadowbolt too, shaman with 2h windfury proc and other
I can't wait for Classic. But I also just click your videos to hear that ASMR voice!
I was just thinking this... LoL!
They will fuck it up. Wait and see. I'm waiting for it just as much as you do but the Blizzard we learned to love is not around anymore. Neither are the people behind it.
i hope your channel never gets deleted
its like a time machine to me
Always look forward to your videos man. Thanks and keep up the good work 👍
me, already picked a race, class, profession and halfway done leveling:
*time to watch madseasons picking guides*
Lol same 😅
1:17 CONFIRMED!!!
Even I a devout horde player would switch to become a member of the monotone Marauders
If I remember correctly, target weapon skill cap is +15 for raiding. So Human's passive is still massive. Great video btw - thanks for compiling and creating it!
thank you for making these videos. It makes me excited to play classic WOW
My main Will be a Night elf hunter. Simply because of how amazing Shadowmeld is. A permanent stealth as long as you don't move.
You can stalk In the shadows waiting for your pray, like a true hunter.
Perfect if you have a feline type pet that can also stealth indefinitely, I'm talking about Prowl.
You should mention that you can also use the hearthstone or mount up while in shadowmeld which can be useful is some situations.
Just thought I would throw this out here: I'm a WoW veteran from the last days of vanilla and played the crap out of TBC and WotLK. Watching the many videos you made in preparation really helped me return to the game, even though I'm more than a year late to the party lol. So anyway, what I'm trying to say, is thank you. Thank you for these awesome videos and thorough "casual" guides. They're awesome.
Madseason please never stop making wow videos!
I have been watching a few of your videos in prep for classic. I started in late BC just before Wrath. Just wanted to say that I love your content. Also, is that POE music I hear in the backround??? Kudos for an awesome choice
Great info, making me look forward to Classic! For the Alliance!
Your videos are amazingly informative and clear. Good stuff!
Definitely need the Horde guide! This was grate. I still need a bit of a role play aspect in my choice but any influence to choose something different is nice!
ah that gun sound. 3 hunter with Nerubian Conqueror in Naxx. so much fun.
So as an alliance player that doesn't like dwarves I'm screwed lol
Don't let him fool u, human is the way to go since they can see cunt rogue gankers once they hear that cancerous stealth sound, especialy in STVietnam.
Why do you not like dwarves? They're cool
@@pogchamp2897 Idk, why do some people prefer blondes over brunettes? Roses over daisies? Tacos over burritos? I just don't like their attitudes and the female dwarfs are horrifically ugly imo.
Thank you for the video it was very imformative and helpful for a returning wow player (who started in WoD) I am looking forward to having a taste of what it was like back in the original days.
Great video! Super helpful can't wait for classic to come out, been playing on private server till then!
Your voice helps me sleep better and feel relaxed, it also makes me feel like im not lonely :) thx for the vid
2:55 I don't know if there was anything like this in Vanilla, but I remember in WotLK, diplomacy made a HUGE difference with Sons of Hodir, because you start at hated and get two quests which bump you up to Neutral - Humans got like +4k rep from their racial for those 2 quests.
You just sent me down memory lane with weapon skill and all its glorious attack table theorycraft voodoo. Sweet, sweet mugger’s belt. Sweet, sweet aged core leather gloves. :)
I will take my first step into classic as a restoration druid, and I can't wait.
Man I don't know, that druid race choice is going to be a tough one.
You pick nelf last for everything, huh?
Shadowmeld not useful, is it?
You've never been MCed by a stealthy priest in BRM into lava, I see.
:P
Noone expects the Night Elf Inquisition
god tier
YES, can't wait to listen to this tonight when I go to bed. Your videos are the perfect thing to get me chilled out and thinking and imagining WoW. (I do listen to all the video though :) )
Very nice video as always, waiting on the horde side.
For the rogue it truly does not matter what race you pick alliance or horde. All the most important parts of being a rogue is understanding how to prepare against certain targets. Rogues have abilities or poisons for almost every situation, you just have to prepare properly.
The gnome intellect passive is about 0.4% crit and about 1 extra fireball worth of mana with solid gear.
human players liked your comment. Go gnome or go home.
,
I expect this video to be hanging out in the character select screen with MadSeason for half an hour, while he explains me every intricate detail about each and every race in a calm and collected voice.
20 bucks I won't be disappoint
Clicked just to listen to that intro again. Godspeed sir!
"I'd get whispers from _diseased_ people" hahahahahaha that took me off guard hahahahaha
Excellent guide.
But dont take these too seriously, Racials wont carry you if you lack skill. After all its your input that matters.
Swifty,one of the best PVP warriors in the game back in the vanilla days, was a Night elf.
Zoot shadowmeld is godly on a PvP server in vanilla (even in this form). It adds alot of fun and unique game play (especially for priests and hunters).
to be fair... in vanilla, almost nobody knew what they were doing. Addons? Thottbot? Unknown to a lot of players, you had lvl 60 players who didn't even know where you could get a mount.
Just play it for fun and don't worry too much about racials or if you're in the top % whatever. That's what made vanilla great.
@@vadeka I know a Rogue in vanilla who didn't know that he can learn and upgrade skills until he was 60...then he became pro and botting hacker...permabanned came back in different accounts becoming a great dpser in both pvpand pvp...bored became healer and blew the charts....his beginnings were sooo humble
In the future, press spacebar after commas.
Pretty sure that the 10% reputation boost will carry you.
If u get exalted with 1 reputation, u get 1 more for free... do u know how insane that is?
PvP reputations, pve reputations whatever.. this racial is just INSANE.
I only find 2 racials 100% unfair.
The 10% reputation boost and the 25% stun resist.
The others are just VERY good.
Those 2 are just cheating into the game.
I don't even play WoW, I just find this calming to listen to while I'm working.
please make more classic guides really solidified my potential alliance choices
OMG, old gun sound was so much better
You were a little harsh on gnome warriors. they get extra dodge.
Can't wait for the horde guide!
I like rewatching these videos to help me relax before bed. They're like unintentional ASMR. Sidenote: I farm jungle remedies hard on my NE priest to make up for no stoneform and, more importantly, regret nothing for picking a race based on their jump animation. Also, hiding in Shadowmeld and then Psychic Scream/Silence into Mind Control is really fun when defending LM in Arathi
you were correct about a lot but there is a few things that were a bit off to me, for 1 you really understated how powerful escape artist really is, it is so powerful in pvp that the top guilds in private servers started making entire guilds full of 38 gnomes and dwarves and then 2 druids. also another thing to note is that the gnomish death ray actually scales off your engineering skill in pvp and since gnomes have the extra 15 skill it means they just simply do more damage with it. kind of a minor thing tho
God damn, Blizzard put so much quality work and thoughtfulness into this game. The grind is just a part of corporate demands, but like J.R.R. Tolkien probably used to say "No great adventure happens without a very, very large amount of walking." (running in WoWs case)
Is that the path of exile soundtrack?
LyfeBroo 1 month later.... yes it is
I'm you latest fan, finding your videos really helpfull with classic coming up !! thanks mate !!
something so relaxing about that intro
29:30 almost spit out my coffee when I saw you modern scrubs can pay $60 for a max level boost. In my day, that would get you a fat ban
Sad thing is. People now pay gold to lvl 60's to get a level boost to 60
You've convinced me to play Rogue in Classic and I can't wait!
They're fun! All around a great class - no regrets having one as my main back in the day
love ur vids, they bring such a nostalgic feeling
I played human warrior at 60 and 70. Orc warrior at 80. I'm going Tauren warrior this time around! Gimme dat extra health.
Alts are gonna be Orc hunter and Troll mage for sure.
im wondering if they will let us make both factions on the same server. all my friends wanna roll ally. but i wanna make either and undead mage or priest. if i have to roll ally, probably gonna make a dwarf hunter cuz stone form is the best racial on ally.
You can only make both factions on PvE servers.
@@Kligan pvp all the way
PvP is the TRUE test of skill! Group, solo or otherwise!!!
+@@jacobring7274 No it's not. It's a test of wheather or not you can keybind your shit and use engeniering crafts on a hotbar.

I love your channel, even though I haven't played WoW since Cataclysm, but I still like Azeroth's Lore, to remember the olden days of yore and to collect the special edition artbooks (i was hoping to get the BFA one, but no luck with that). Seriously, great job, you make me want to relive WoW classic. My favourite expansion was also Wotlk, those were great times.
I always know that when there is a new madseason video up, I'm going to sleep tight. That monotone voice does wonders on a stressed out mind. I watch it the second time for the content
this guide is really good, can't wait to make worgen druid when Classic comes out!!! :D
You cant unfortunately.
Idk, I think people should go in as blind as possible. Recreate the magic of something new as much as you can
By far my favorite wow youtuber
BRO! You gotta do the Horde version. I know you're alliance main but my friends all play horde and as a returning player ( I havent played since vanilla) I'm really waiting for your horde race/class picks. Can't wait to see it!
Blue boi for life

Whoosh.
Thank you for the druid guide, I was really struggling with making my choice there for Vanilla. :(
My boi madseason is the only one I watch all 30 second ads for.
My first two, not sure which order, is going to be a Gnome thief and a Night Elf warrior. Look out Silvermoon server Hildor the Warrior is back!
Most likely human warrior for my first one. I also want to make a paladin/rogue though...tough choice
gnome rogue?
@@Epsylon21 LOL for a "short" period of time I was part of a RP Guild called "The Ankle Bitters" an all Gnome Guild, and yep we sucked as we were missing key classes. xD
@@Epsylon21 a night elf mowhawk.
that night elf warrior for pve tanking was gonna be my choice after watching this humans seems the way to go... stuck on the fencse as well to make a pally
When I make a rogue it's obviously going to be night elf, my favorite race story is the undead though
Truthfully I enjoyed the starting areas for the alliance more than the horde
Joe berdanke my main was a female night elf rogue, now i want a troll mage
17:00 the ability for Shadowmeld to interrupt spellcasts and let you close in for charge is pretty powerful.
Love the video and I love how in depth you went but I would add time stamps so I can jump to specific races back and forth or at the end I can jump straight to your recommendation on the class I want to play
I plan to play a gnome mage.
me2!
Orc racials are my favorite. But I will not betray my fellow tree-huggers, I will always be a Night Elf!
Orc racials are pretty damn awesome. Orcs are never to be taken lightly. Invaders from a harder world they are!
Henry M. Legolas00129 noob 😀
The tree had it coming
good old days where you played AV none stop for that epic 2h mace jesus good time cannot wait to do it again ! XD
Love the videos bro keep it up. Also I have but one question:
I'm looking to play a caster class with high crits for pvp, would that be mage or warlocks back then?
For Hunters, while I am sure Stoneform is great and all, the amount of utility of Shadowmeld is amazing for a hunter due to FD. More so in PVE, it is effectively a type of vanish. There have been countless times where this would happen and would think, "I could not do this if I was any other race." FD+SM, wait 30 seconds for FD cooldown, and can do it again.
