The good old days man, MW2 and WoTLK. What I’d give to go back. Thanks for creating so much content over the years Swifty, I love being able to time travel via your content and relive the good memories.
Also the years of Minecraft, Bad Company 2, Cod 4, Cod WaW, Swotor, Warhammer Online Age of Reckoning. Those were the days. Gaming is so not what it used to be nowdays, games now are hyper commercialized and have no soul.
omg someone has bene here 1 year ago, video is 14 years old, yes man i was so so young when i watched switfty, i miss those days and doing his warrior 1shot macros in battlegrounds. :(
I got a tyrannical beheader on warmane recently and made my arms spec... HAD TO COME BACK TO THIS CALASSIC. I still have my FIRST naga box when razer was blue.... and the m5 / m4 buttons were on the far left of the left click... Thanks for all the joy over the years swifty.
Wait what.. it's been 6 years ? I remember when he was named in youtube Johnsju and was uploading 1 video every wednesday.. Ooh so much memories,why did he had to change so much :/
I believe he is still as awesome. It's just the game requires less skill to play now I believe. I remember warriors no longer need to stance dance ever since Cata, but I haven't been playing after Cata so I'm not sure about the later expansions.
Warriors with shadowmourne and death bringers will, were pretty much unstoppable 1-shot machines that you ran from. It was awesome! Now we're about to get to relive the glory days of wow, for me anywho. I hope that it's as fun again. Classic and TBC were.
There is a toy version of Deathbringer's Will that gives you the forms for 2 minutes on a 5 minute cooldown. Will of Northrend is the name of it, you get it for 1500 (iirc) timewalking badges during Wrath timewalking. I have it macro'd to Mortal Strike so it activates on own, it's kind of like having the trinket. I never was able to get it during current content, so I like using it.

ok people who saying its not swifty at the start it is. his camera angle is down there's a holy pally in front of him so the pally name is over lapping his name plus look at his name in the bg.
hey swifty, i have to say this was the most enjoyable of your videos. Watching you play bgs while just talkin to us, is a lot of fun, like we're just hanging out in vent or something. moar pl0x
Thank you swifty, i play a warrior and i'm decently geared and quite skilled and now healers just follow me around and heal me constantly! i love it, i get some many Kb's and so little deaths, telling healers to follow good warriors around was an awsome thing to do! thnxs again. Keep up the pwnage vids! :D
Okay, that was awesome. Whole lot of fun seeing you play through a random BG, and getting the narration to boot! I wish I could manage to win a roll for DBW. 24 Saurfang-25 kills, and no luck so far. =/ Anyway, enjoy yours!
@CVGunit2012 Just because the videos were uploaded at that time, doesn't mean that the footage was from that single day, and edited in a jiffy. The footage could've been taken months and months ago.
Swiftys video are epic and I enjoy all of them, and so what if he advertises razer? I've already purchased a Razer Naga because of his videos and his review of it, and that's my first razer product of many to come. Every video he releases I look forward to, regardless of whether he does BGs or not. Keep them coming man :)
@TheDarkHavok armour pen is the basic stat. they get either 500 haste, 600 agility or 1200 attack power (btw going into stealth as the taunka is hilarious! stealth cow-man ftw!)
@Sweeneyelawl its not an addon that pops up when ever a warrior dodges an attack it lets u use a move called overpower or smethin like that idk abouut the immolate one :))
Say Swifty I also have a question: Why do you feel Swordspec isn't as viable? Where as maces and axes grant a "passive" damage increase, swords grant you extra burst, which is always a great thing in PVP, especially if you get kited, and are able to only hit the enemy a few strikes at a time. I find the extra sword strike very useful in these situations. I remember critting a mage for 6k swing and right after that a free 5k crit from swordspec. Now that's basically doubble damage before freeze
Swifty! Can you please let me know all of the possible interrupts you can use and the best times to use them. Thank you for all of your videos, the Naga and N-52 gamepad have completely changed the way I play! Thanks! -Durin, Emerald Dream
He is getting a lot of hits on those translates and it may be required by his sponsors, but what i would recommend is different accounts for the different languages
@AndaThePanda Fury warriors don't have a rotation, they hav an ability hierarchy. So basicly just whirlwind and bloodthirst when the are up and do slam when u get a bloodsurge proc. If u hav enough rage all the time u can also do heroic strike alot. Buy keep whirlwind and bloodthirst on cd.
@Elitebeest1 when cataclysm first comes out Arena will be disabled for a while so staying in a good pve guild is the smart thing to do. Because as soon as arena is released the ppl with the best pve gear will dominate.
@rickson50 with worgon you can paly a human or beast form, if i remeber right you can fight as either but ot use abilitys and what not you will transform instantly when you try ot activate one
How does he run up the wall at horde graveyard? I'm new but happy I found Swifty on TH-cam he's very awesome to watch and he has some awesome tips to share :)
I found using a macro with "/cancelaura strength of taunka" and such for mounting helps a lot. Can't remember the exact names of each of the 3 buffs though.
My theory with the Horde winning over Alliance almost 90% of the time is for a few reasons: 1) Maybe older people (usually better gamers) like Horde races. 2) Maybe just a few great gamers joined the Horde, then their friends joined etc etc.
@Razzfazz87 Congrats to the loot anyways. Arent you heading to Shadow Mourne? You could have it by now as you should be able to farm enough 25HC bosses for the items..
yeah, i play horde on daggerspine (or atleast use to) even if i've never seen u in a bg, your vids speak for themself. Even before watching this, as a disc priest, i noticed my self fallowing warriors more often then not (2nd being dks.) I also play a DK, but even in Reneltess, with a pve weapon like brynntroll, with just a little cooperation in a group, wonders can happen. Not alot of teams use any strats anymore, and it helps. I've been playing since vanilla too.
I finally got gladiator on my warrior and I thank swifty because I was junk before I watched all his videos and tricks, I also have DBW but not the heroic one ^-^ awesome vid
swifty why can't you make more videos like this- we wait ages for you to make videos and right now you just put out videos of you getting blown up :( I'd like to see more videos of you just playing as you do like this. It's the just you and the battleground and it's really entertaining. Anyway
@johnsju thanks man - Hey the reason they would take you on as a warrior is because everyone thinks warriors are squishy and die quickly....At least I have noticed thats how they think. Healers are harder to take down because most of them stack heavy on resil
i actualy have the cataclysm beta, i'v had it for about 2 or so months, and i must say its the best part of the game, part of game meaning all the expansions and classic, the graphics ahve been improved, they from what i remeber only upgraded the water and sun colums which are rays of lights, it may seem like a little bu you'd be amazed how much water there actualy is in the game, sw looks completely different from the air, worgans are amazing, the best race in the game by far
im not really into the pvp aspect of world of warcraft, but i really enjoy your videos:D keep making them john ;) also have a warrior and got Deathbringers will today :D:D
well open your eyes he is zoomed in and infront of him is someone with name Taedian and if you open your eyes he runs around when swifty got the " DBW " buff irl :D
@MrMalyx Yeah they look so bad ass... Idk much about them though cause I never got to reach lvl 80+ before i left WoW.... BTW What race is that when he activates DBW? It's so bad ass I wanna play that!
swifty i have had the razer naga for a good month or 2 now u inspired me to get it..but what i hate is i instal the razer naga addon and i can't use the original setup bars like u do or my bartender setup..before i was using my bartender setup+the main 12 keys..but i can't bind all my other moves like alt+1 without the addon but with the addon the bars are annoying because i don't know what im doing..can u tell me how u made urs to were you have the main action bars yet bind everything?
Thumbs this UP if you like Swifty and wants him to make more of these videos! this is the reason I subscribed to Swifty in the first place. Awesome ownage in battlegrounds and Trick-videos!
@mastajosh since theres no spec for weapons it just depends on the weapon itself or ur race orcs have increased expertise with axes and humans have expertise with swords/maces

idk why this popped up on my feed, but im so glad it did. This brought me back to the good ole days.
What a blast from the past. These vids where the best period. Miss this guy.
5 years from your comment, that blast hits even harder. :)
@@chikavugla 2yrs since your comment and 9 from Lm2hmp
These memorys still hit as hard as DBW.
@@bomt6259 8 years from my original comment and here I am. Still watching old swifty videos
They never get old man
Wholesome 💯💙
I got a tyrannical beheader on warmane recently and made my arms spec... HAD TO COME BACK TO THIS CALASSIC.
I still have my FIRST naga box when razer was blue.... and the m5 / m4 buttons were on the far left of the left click...
Thanks for all the joy over the years swifty.
i miss these kinds of videos haha
BeyondThaDeepWoods bro yes
Wait what.. it's been 6 years ? I remember when he was named in youtube Johnsju and was uploading 1 video every wednesday.. Ooh so much memories,why did he had to change so much :/
Same reason you had to mention useless details to justify yourself being an "Oldschool" player
Where exactly did I state I am an old school player? Your stereotypical radar needs some fixing bud.
Bg li si we xD
People change, its part of life. Nobody stays the same forever, people disappoint and become disappointed.
14 years now 😢
Every year I watch this video. I don’t know why because it just ends up depressing me lol. So many good memories 😥
I do the same thing lol
but wotlk is confirmed now
omg 5 years already since i made this comment...time goes way too fast 😥
@@avfb6474 Yes it does friend
Back in the era that Swifty was actually pretty f'n awesome.
Miss these days man
Yeah i remember when WoW was actually good aswell
he still is awesome
I believe he is still as awesome. It's just the game requires less skill to play now I believe. I remember warriors no longer need to stance dance ever since Cata, but I haven't been playing after Cata so I'm not sure about the later expansions.
Coming back to this for wrath classic preparation. Good times 👍
Man, your voice in this video is just so calm and it's pretty fun to listen to you
Woaw dude! Blast from the past.
Warriors with shadowmourne and death bringers will, were pretty much unstoppable 1-shot machines that you ran from. It was awesome! Now we're about to get to relive the glory days of wow, for me anywho. I hope that it's as fun again. Classic and TBC were.
So exited for the party. Can't wait to go!
You maybe a bit late dude ;d

Still watching in 2022, Wotlk Classic releasing, I hope Swifty can some day reenact this video!
2025 anyone here?
recomended
ok people who saying its not swifty at the start it is. his camera angle is down there's a holy pally in front of him so the pally name is over lapping his name plus look at his name in the bg.
good game=good videos,shit game like wod=shit videos normal...
hey swifty, i have to say this was the most enjoyable of your videos. Watching you play bgs while just talkin to us, is a lot of fun, like we're just hanging out in vent or something. moar pl0x
I have always only been moderately fond of you Swifty.... but that Dragonball reference has made me love you forever.
Thank you swifty, i play a warrior and i'm decently geared and quite skilled and now healers just follow me around and heal me constantly! i love it, i get some many Kb's and so little deaths, telling healers to follow good warriors around was an awsome thing to do! thnxs again. Keep up the pwnage vids! :D
Okay, that was awesome. Whole lot of fun seeing you play through a random BG, and getting the narration to boot!
I wish I could manage to win a roll for DBW. 24 Saurfang-25 kills, and no luck so far. =/ Anyway, enjoy yours!
@CVGunit2012 Just because the videos were uploaded at that time, doesn't mean that the footage was from that single day, and edited in a jiffy.
The footage could've been taken months and months ago.
swifty seems so calm and relaxed in his older vidoes :D
Kinda miss videos like this, when swifty was recording alone just showing us gaming
back in the good old days swifty
Swiftys video are epic and I enjoy all of them, and so what if he advertises razer? I've already purchased a Razer Naga because of his videos and his review of it, and that's my first razer product of many to come.

I'm happy you zoom in for the fans, but i'm so used to huge zoomed out camera distance i'm surprised you don't feel blind when you film stuff.
Congrats for getting DBW, Swifty!
Dude I love the random cell theme through out the video.
I like how that the one orc at the end attempted to /teabag like he dominated Swifty, haha. Love those people.
Your videos really get better and better.
@TheDarkHavok armour pen is the basic stat. they get either 500 haste, 600 agility or 1200 attack power (btw going into stealth as the taunka is hilarious! stealth cow-man ftw!)
Please make more of hese kind of videos swifty, there freaking awesome compared to some of your other ones. BG and Arena vids FTW !
I miss Swifty as a night elf... i miss swifty as engineerer... i miss stance dancing warriors who actually required skills... i miss wotlk so much!
@Sweeneyelawl its not an addon that pops up when ever a warrior dodges an attack it lets u use a move called overpower or smethin like that
idk abouut the immolate one :))

@Kaltasia I like the razer product things he does. My razer naga is bad ass and I would have never bought it without Swifty's video.
He is getting a lot of hits on those translates and it may be required by his sponsors, but what i would recommend is different accounts for the different languages
I really enjoy these videos! Please make more of them, even it it's just a random bg!

@Guarrincillo Thank you so much, I've been looking all over for it. Thanks again :).
Good vid swifty :D
Btw is the DBW good for ret palas or ?
when you bladestormed in the GY all i could think was lolstorm away
you r awesome swifty and im wondering who will win between you and klinda.
@WhereTheMistResides They changed honor in cataclysm. It's now much lower (example: war mounts cost 2000 honor now - they used to cost 50k honor)
it doesn't seem like you noticed swifty, but the average wow player is now around 13 to 15.
@Qualityjony There is no rotation in PvP.
You use abilties depending on your situation.
Nice swifty... love your video. but how much does it cost for all 3 screen's and what u have drivers and stuff u have in ur computer ?
@rickson50 with worgon you can paly a human or beast form, if i remeber right you can fight as either but ot use abilitys and what not you will transform instantly when you try ot activate one
i was watching regularly but then i wanted to see how you set up your action bars so i put it in HD and im like :o!
Swifty man u deserve even more views then your currently getting
swifty if u cant mount in that form just right click the buff off if u needa mount
How does he run up the wall at horde graveyard?
I'm new but happy I found Swifty on TH-cam he's very awesome to watch and he has some awesome tips to share :)
Swifty, i could watch you BG all day, please put more videos up of you just BG'ing.. im even horde and i love watching your vids. thanks alot!

@Backzyy
If you have a closer look at 0:46 you can see a paladin whos name is taedian
back in the glory days
First swifty video i ever watched
@joncito77 id say frost.. yes they dont have reduced cd on blink but they are double harder to kill..
@Razzfazz87 Congrats to the loot anyways.
Arent you heading to Shadow Mourne? You could have it by now as you should be able to farm enough 25HC bosses for the items..
he did 3 transformations? is that all Deathbringer's Will?? the big beast thing, the badass dwarf and a human rogue kinda thing...???
nice to see nexius playing again.
@MrBigggzz there is no addon,just fiddle with the combat text till u get it in the interface :P
@0xCIPHERx0 It's in battlegroups, which is player's from loads of different servers
yeah, i play horde on daggerspine (or atleast use to) even if i've never seen u in a bg, your vids speak for themself. Even before watching this, as a disc priest, i noticed my self fallowing warriors more often then not (2nd being dks.)

Who would win in a fight? Chuck Norris and Old Spice man combined or Swifty with DBW?
I finally got gladiator on my warrior and I thank swifty because I was junk before I watched all his videos and tricks, I also have DBW but not the heroic one ^-^

@dom99661 it is the hand mounted pyro rocket enchant you have to lvl engineer
I have a good feeling about Swifty and Wotlk classic ;D ;D ;D
So I see your attempt to get Nexius to play again worked.
@ExDijjj I'm not completely sure but it should be Quartz.
@christaphur I'm not sure exactly, But it may be part of the "move anything" addon. Pretty self explanatory.
i actualy have the cataclysm beta, i'v had it for about 2 or so months, and i must say its the best part of the game, part of game meaning all the expansions and classic, the graphics ahve been improved, they from what i remeber only upgraded the water and sun colums which are rays of lights, it may seem like a little bu you'd be amazed how much water there actualy is in the game, sw looks completely different from the air, worgans are amazing, the best race in the game by far
@imherelol he didnt say it was bad he just said axe spec was the best because you did get 5% more crit chance and 5% increased critical damage
Gratz on the trinket mate, u made wanna go engineering :D now im JC/BS , your videos is very nice keep it up mate!
im not really into the pvp aspect of world of warcraft, but i really enjoy your videos:D keep making them john ;) also have a warrior and got Deathbringers will today :D:D
@Ehwoke I use Mik's Scrolling Battle Text for it, it will cover all your important procs over all your chars :}
well open your eyes he is zoomed in and infront of him is someone with name Taedian and if you open your eyes he runs around when swifty got the " DBW " buff irl :D

about the Deathbringer's Will being good in cata, you were right. im playing on molten and i purchased it with some vote points, and it still owns :D
so now can we expect to see video vs holy / retri palas ?? resto druid , shamans???? warlocks? mages?
