The fun thing about a private server is that teams like this are always open to endless possibilities. I'm sure if the Monk and Blademaster fantasies are requested enough, the team could add them later. With that said, I do think there is a little too much holy going on here (Sun Cleric vibes). I liked the idea of the combo system, and that def could have been what the Monk and Blademaster could have been as its own thing (maybe speced those out), but I'm not a developer. Lets see how things shake out!
I already had so much fun playing the current builds and cant wait to try some of the new! This is definitely the right direction in terms of fun. Thanks for your work Ascension crew!
For someone who dont know, Templar is a local Monk here (This Monks has been renamed to Templar later) Specs look like in my opinion (templar spec - retail wow class spec) Discipline - Brewmaster Monk Zealot - Windwalker Monk Crusader - Arms Warrior + Retribution Paladin
By Samurai you mean Warcraft *Blade Master* ? Don't think they have a actual Samurai , in Warcraft lore , but the blade master would be the closest thing to it
Please, with all my heart, could you add the lunar priest class like TYRANDE, who shoots arrows with a bow and who can heal with sacred arrows? I could be a tank, ranged damage, and healer, I might play with that class all my life, I would use mesh
I need to ask how is the early and mid game balanced? I ask because modern wow has made the major mistake of ignoring the early and mid game experience in order to rush players to the end game content and that is in my opinion a major mistake, one I really don’t want to see a private server make
I remember the old days of CoA, this class was first called rhonin, then monk for a good chunk of years, and now it’s Templar, it’s better in my opinion and it looks like what I would love in a paladin
For once I don’t really like this new version of a wow class. I can see why some would but I just don’t see how it’s different from the Sun Cleric in class fantasy To me the new Templar seems like a Sun Cleric Lite based on the class description. The old one was better imo. At least it had a distinct class fantasy. Would love if it could instead be a totally fist weapon or unarmed play style class that draws inspo from pugilist, monks/martial arts, and brawlers. The monk/martial artist would be a melee support class with high crit and strength, the pugilist will be rushing melee dps with high burst and stuns, and the brawlers would be a tank with absorbs and shaking off damage and high stam/strength that gets more hp the longer he fights. All have a passive that increases their primary stat the longer they fight (ie +1% Stam every 3 seconds or +15 crit rating every 3 seconds or +10% strength every 3 seconds )
I'm sure I'll level a character for every tanking class, including the Templar, but to be perfectly honestly, from the previews/videos alone, the Templar seems like it'd be my least favourite in that regard. Of course, a not so insignificant reason for that is the fact that my favourite classes have always been those with both tanking and healing specs.
Ascension now has multiple realm types! There's the classless realm, specialist realms like Wildcard, and now new realms on the way featuring classes. Conquest of Azeroth is 21 new classes, and Bronzebeard will be a Classic+ realm with the original 9 classes
I understand but its sad how this class's themeing changed. Like you showed it around thr scarlet crusade a lot but you can use the witch hunter and sun cleric for that. I get it is tryint to be a diablo monk rather than a warcraft monk but the point of the class was to have a blademaster spec, and to have it be more alliance focused with the themeing is a let down.
I mean its cool, but why have both this AND Sun Cleric, esspecially since Sun Cleric doesn't seem to really evoke Sunwalker, imo definitley should have stuck with Monk
You guys are doing a great job, but you need to cater more into feeling like a vanilla experience, like you guys advertised. Mobs scaling to your level and the shitload of damage some specs pump at low levels is not the way to go. Also, please get rid of, or at least tone down the gold from gear that comes from those chests that drop when you complete a quest, sometimes i get dozens of gold even before level 30, if at least we had to train our spells at a trainer or something, it would make it better.
I pretty much disagree with everything you said. If I wanted the actual vanilla experience, I'd go play WoW classic. I like that this is more an enhanced version of vanilla.
I definitely think they need to lower so of the insane damage in the early game as that just kind of encourages the player to rush to the end game and that is a mistake modern wow keeps making. Th early game should be a challenge as that keeps players invested long enough to enjoy the end game
Heck, no , they kinda needed another Holy like class to balance out the dark edgelord classes. Blood Mage, Reaper , Necromancer, etc . Nice to have the Polar opposites , which would be Templar and Sun Cleric. They probably should add Blade Master, Monk, and even a Brew master in the future@@Nortrin
RIP BLADE MASTER

monk died for this, another pala class, sun cleric = holy pala, templar = retri pala, you guys need another class for prot pala, not enough palas imo
Monk died for this. RIP monk
Damn. I was selling CoA to my friend that loves monks like 2 years ago. He was so hyped, so hyped. And now it's just sad.
I definitely wouldn't mind playing as a "Scarlet Crusader" like class.
Could we get a mounted class actually? Like fully mounted Knight? That would be badass
There is knight of xoroth
I already had so much fun playing the current builds and cant wait to try some of the new! This is definitely the right direction in terms of fun. Thanks for your work Ascension crew!
I cant wait for CoA release.
When does it release?
@@Crabpeople66 spring 2025
Will it have mana storm cringe leveling?
@@oussemamenthole2586yeah everyone levels through ms in the server and then they just can’t find a group for raids and mythics
Love the dual wield zealot
This video is the reason I am downloading the game right now..
For someone who dont know, Templar is a local Monk here (This Monks has been renamed to Templar later)
Specs look like in my opinion (templar spec - retail wow class spec)
Discipline - Brewmaster Monk
Zealot - Windwalker Monk
Crusader - Arms Warrior + Retribution Paladin
Samurai class when? 🙏
By Samurai you mean Warcraft
*Blade Master* ? Don't think they have a actual Samurai , in Warcraft lore , but the blade master would be the closest thing to it
This is the samurai class
Templar is amazing can't wait
So .. we have two pally classes now? I can't even tell the difference between this and sun cleric.
Templars are martial artists with holy powers and Sun clerics are basically light domain clerics from dnd.
I thought you allready had Paladins
Need bard class like lotro or rift support healer would be fun or magic dps ranged spec
Inspiration Guardian is bard-esque!!
@ascensiongg yes but this is a spec of guardian not entire class
So a Paladin in cloth?
0:14 Cloth..? Dat Mail my buddha 😅
i dont play this but its cool seeing what you guys keep cooking lol
Good shit ascension. Keep it up. Best version of wow at the moment.
Will we have new test event at Christmas ? I hope the dungeons is harder
Yes / who knows. Don't ask for leveling dungeons to be hard because Ascension is mostly NOT about the "leveling experience".
Do i chose the Templar class at the start of the game?
Please, with all my heart, could you add the lunar priest class like TYRANDE, who shoots arrows with a bow and who can heal with sacred arrows? I could be a tank, ranged damage, and healer, I might play with that class all my life, I would use mesh
They already have that
That's Starcaller
You're going to be so happy when we release the Starcaller highlight next week.

Need blade master as hero class. Available for Human, Draenei, Orc, Troll and Pandaren.(and Kul tiran, Light draenei, Maghar, Zandalar troll too). 2h sword/axe/polearm tank, 2h sword/axe/polearm dps, dual wield dps.
Kul Tarin, Mag Har..? This isn't retail bro lol
@ so no Ally race?
Monk class when? 🙏
This is the monk class more or less, it just got transformed into templar to fit the other specs it has better.
Monk-Blade Master > Templar
Iconic Warcraft class vs totally-not-paladin.
@ the theme was awesome-who cares if retail has a class named Monk. Hell even changing it to Blade Master (class) would have been better.
got rid of blade master to give us a stupid ret pally, rip
I remember the old days of CoA, this class was first called rhonin, then monk for a good chunk of years, and now it’s Templar, it’s better in my opinion and it looks like what I would love in a paladin
All I want is the bard.
For once I don’t really like this new version of a wow class. I can see why some would but I just don’t see how it’s different from the Sun Cleric in class fantasy

seems like the warden from lotro with heavy armour

Of course, a not so insignificant reason for that is the fact that my favourite classes have always been those with both tanking and healing specs.
This is me
When is the next beta test?
Announcement to come soon!
I thought Ascension was classless? Confused now
Ascension now has multiple realm types! There's the classless realm, specialist realms like Wildcard, and now new realms on the way featuring classes. Conquest of Azeroth is 21 new classes, and Bronzebeard will be a Classic+ realm with the original 9 classes
So paladins?
damn you did change the Blademaster spec.....!!!
Press F to pay respect to the dead spin to win spec.
Damn they gonna leave my boy Cultist for last 😭😭
I understand but its sad how this class's themeing changed. Like you showed it around thr scarlet crusade a lot but you can use the witch hunter and sun cleric for that. I get it is tryint to be a diablo monk rather than a warcraft monk but the point of the class was to have a blademaster spec, and to have it be more alliance focused with the themeing is a let down.
I miss when this was a Wu Xia meets the west Monk and not a trad Cath LARPer
Will they be able to set their hearthstones to emotionally nuturing safe-places as opposed to capital cities?
Brother, they ARE the emotionally nurturing safe-place.
@@ascensiongg It's just that kind of response that got me playing WoW on Ascension to the exclusion of all other servers. ;)
Zealot😍
I mean its cool, but why have both this AND Sun Cleric, esspecially since Sun Cleric doesn't seem to really evoke Sunwalker, imo definitley should have stuck with Monk
lol paladin.
What..? When have u ever seen a Pally duel wield weapons ?
how to unlock conquest of azeroth
You guys are doing a great job, but you need to cater more into feeling like a vanilla experience, like you guys advertised. Mobs scaling to your level and the shitload of damage some specs pump at low levels is not the way to go. Also, please get rid of, or at least tone down the gold from gear that comes from those chests that drop when you complete a quest, sometimes i get dozens of gold even before level 30, if at least we had to train our spells at a trainer or something, it would make it better.
I pretty much disagree with everything you said. If I wanted the actual vanilla experience, I'd go play WoW classic. I like that this is more an enhanced version of vanilla.
@@Maverick512000 This right here ^
Agree with the gold issue
I definitely think they need to lower so of the insane damage in the early game as that just kind of encourages the player to rush to the end game and that is a mistake modern wow keeps making. Th early game should be a challenge as that keeps players invested long enough to enjoy the end game
100% agree
The whole unarmed combat thing doesn't fit the theme of a templar that well to me
By far the weakest class so far in terms of design
My thoughts exactly. The worst thing is, Sun’s Ceric is already fullfilling Paladin fantasy.
Heck, no , they kinda needed another Holy like class to balance out the dark edgelord classes. Blood Mage, Reaper , Necromancer, etc . Nice to have the Polar opposites , which would be Templar and Sun Cleric. They probably should add Blade Master, Monk, and even a Brew master in the future@@Nortrin
@ Then go with Monk from Diablo 3 instead of 3 extra specs for Sun’s Cleric..
Kindly gemme access
Teso
Whatever but cannot play this conquest of azeroth
