and within 10 years of expacs you will travel into the cosmos by spaceship and later even traverse the afterlife like its nothing.. god they lost the plot so badly.
The stuff about there being something out there that you can't get to yet is how I always thought about seeing inside Grim Batol or Caverns of Time and behind the gate with the hole in it at the south of Tanaris.
I totally agree with Esfand about how cool it was in vanilla wow to have the sense that there was other stuff out there that you couldn't get to. I will also add, for myself as a teenager who never really got to do much high end raiding for most of vanilla, that's kind of how I felt about a lot of the raids and bosses; they were beyond my reach and even though I knew there were these cool raids and bosses, there was a sense of wonder about them because I couldn't actually clear/explore those raids. Difficulty options in raids kind of took that away.
Hardcore is actually forcing people to squeeze the juice out of the game. I absolutely love seeing you make an epic quest out of the pally weapon and reading the quest dialogue. The first time classic came out everyone did aoe dungeons because its the path of least resistance. The beauty of wow is that its about the journey. And hardcore reminds us to stop and smell the roses. To stop being so min max brained. We begin to explore. Level those professions. Read some quests. Things we would never do rushing to 60 on softcore. This is why Im loving Hardcore. Its great.
the fact esfand's personiality is so strong he can pull people brimming with self respect who don't know anything about wow, to watch this video front to back with zero issues. protect esfand at all costs. this isn't a reminder to love yourself more, just a quick thank you. also the video was very digestible and i understood what was happening 100% of the time. thanks again for building this community and taking care of yourself/your body.
I've played WoW off and on since open beta.... I have never been to Pyrewood village either. I think I always assumed there were scary elite mobs in there.
I always loved this quest line, forces you to go to zones that are way off the beaten path, and can actually be challenging to get a group together to even attempt it if you don't have guild mates who will help out. And even though Esfand is lvl 24, you can get the quest at level 20, which makes the weapon even stronger 4 levels earlier. When I was higher level paladin, I would go and find paladins in duskwood or redridge and gather a group of level 20 paladins and walk them through the quest so they could be OP. And when I leveled a mage, I decked him out in all that gear. +10 int on the shoulders, +10 int on the belt from the Archmage Arugal, +5 stam +9 int (and agil spir) on the Robes of Arugal also.
ayy just solod mine yesterday on a hardcore grind atm, - 26 pali SSF - solod verigans fist - crafted shining silver breastplate-campd the vendor for elite shoulders, and about to go solo the first boss of WC for the belt drop!! loving SSF
This green screen segment was good and unique , you can do more with it and maybe use ten seconds to talk about the lore of SFK and what not ... that might be cringe , but just throwing it out there
love how the heal just forgets to aa in between casts at arugal *edit* and to the rogue: slower weapon goes into mainhand = more dmg with ss! you welcome :)
This man is not just the guildmaster i lay down my sword for, but the man, no the HERO we all needed to show us the path of the light. Absolute gigachad moves killing the spawned Lupine Delusion right away, complete calm when almost the whole room pulls. Just finished getting boosted in SFK in era only to come watch the absolute LESSON i am being taught in HARDCORE GAMING by the man, the myth, the LEGEND, Mr Ret Paladin himself. Cheers man ~ Jiox
As someone who played league and other online games for several years I think HC WoW community is one of the most kind and cool communities in all online games, although there are always some bad apples.
Getting that shield on 1st run is huge. Rarespawn chestpiece would have been clutch. Hope u ran it more with them. Too much good caster loot at the end to ignore.
I wish I could go back and feel excited about WoW again like I did when I first started playing WOtLK. Legion was my last expansion, I came back for Classic but lost interest by the time I was lvl 57. I enjoyed WoW for what it was, but the game play was lacking and the fun dynamic with playing others and making friends is long gone.
Imagine if when the HC servers are about to shut down. They have a massive battle between the factions and it plays out like a real battle because you only have 1 life and the team that's last alive just wins azeroth lol
@@EsfandTV Oh yeah I know it's just fun. Was just saying how Pallies can actually tank if people manage threat instead of try to steal it and if they use shield and SoR. Just didn't like seeing Kargath try and show ya up lol
I just hadn't set it up yet, there's only 2 times that I've grouped for hardcore and it's for the group quests. It doesn't matter anyway, stop being a loser about it. If you can't do a dungeon with default Classic party frames in vanilla dungeons before level 30 then you're got some other problems.
make sure to check out my streams live at twitch.tv/esfandtv and come be a part of a community and a stream that does it all :D
Props to Kal'Garth for carrying this run.
4 more years!
next time give this man blessing of might!!

"My existence is a taunt" - Esfand 21/05/23
Esfand you nailed it with your comments about vanilla WoW and the mystery of the stuff “out there”.
What a great game.
easily the best version of wow
and within 10 years of expacs you will travel into the cosmos by spaceship and later even traverse the afterlife like its nothing.. god they lost the plot so badly.
Kal'Garath really carried this run. Big ups to him. Hope he starts streaming soon!
He clutched that accidental pull of all the ghost worgs and sons.
The stuff about there being something out there that you can't get to yet is how I always thought about seeing inside Grim Batol or Caverns of Time and behind the gate with the hole in it at the south of Tanaris.
Or the dungeon portal in Stormwind back then hah nice times. Time flies.

Pyrewood Village is a Horde quest hub. The Undead from The Sepulcher give out elite quests for Pyrewood mobs.
Hardcore is actually forcing people to squeeze the juice out of the game. I absolutely love seeing you make an epic quest out of the pally weapon and reading the quest dialogue.
The first time classic came out everyone did aoe dungeons because its the path of least resistance.

esfand was getting kind of jealous of kal'garth but who wouldn't?
the fact esfand's personiality is so strong he can pull people brimming with self respect who don't know anything about wow, to watch this video front to back with zero issues.
protect esfand at all costs.
this isn't a reminder to love yourself more, just a quick thank you.
also the video was very digestible and i understood what was happening 100% of the time. thanks again for building this community and taking care of yourself/your body.
Not gonna lie, I pulled the extra mobs for content. I knew KALCHAD would handle it, though! Great time :)
I never played wow and never have any idea what’s happening in these videos but Esfand genuinely having a great time is so fun to watch
Damn, esfand looking at that jump and just smiling remembering the good ole days! You tricking asmon is just hilarious. Cheers
Nice to see Esfand going up in the world. Even got to join one of Kal'Garths boosting streams!
They talk about Deathwing in the Vancleef Quest line too!
I've played WoW off and on since open beta.... I have never been to Pyrewood village either. I think I always assumed there were scary elite mobs in there.
Love that your having fun with classic again.
watch with tab muted not actual video and in .25% speed put on loop

You're making WoW look fun. Maybe I should give it a try.
Love ur content bro , making my pally journey more enjoyable🙌
Great content, thanks Esfand :)
Love the video Esfand! Classic is definitely where you're in your element! GG EZ Clap
My all time fav lowbie dungeon.
good to see you back on classic man FR FR on god
This green screen segment was good and unique , you can do more with it and maybe use ten seconds to talk about the lore of SFK and what not ... that might be cringe , but just throwing it out there
Never watched you before. But thankful i did now because you are awesome to watch !
I have Verigan’s Fist still on my Ret Pally on Retail because I haven’t really played that character since Wrath. Didn’t even get it to max level…
Whats the addon Esfand is using to see what each stat does? (shows stam amount on weapon for example)
Saw ya running into a fence In The Wetlands yesterday, said “ Hi chat “
This video is so good in slow motion!
love how the heal just forgets to aa in between casts at arugal
*edit* and to the rogue: slower weapon goes into mainhand = more dmg with ss! you welcome :)

Great video!
".. I need help."
"--nothing happens--
"You don't need help!"
I love how he looks like Steve Jobs unveiling a new apple product when he stands on screen
Smash the like button guys. Help our boi out! :)

Love you Esfand! I shall ALWAYS defend your honour. ❤️
I swear Esfand has the funniest community 😅
would it be worth using a different seal while rocking verigans?
Kal'Garth was a giga chad. He carried that group hard. I bet his back is hurting. Pally tanking in vanilla was horrible.
The Kalgarth bit is SO good!!!!!! LMAO
I don't really understand or play wow but i enjoy the streams esfandL
Getting that shield on 1st run is huge. Rarespawn chestpiece would have been clutch. Hope u ran it more with them. Too much good caster loot at the end to ignore.
Can only run it once per dungeon in hardcore ruleset
Wonder if esfand knows at night the humans down there turn into worgen.
you should see this in slow mo it is way better!
Paladins can get some mad threat when they have it already. The problem is when they don't, they get nothing.
I wish I could go back and feel excited about WoW again like I did when I first started playing WOtLK. Legion was my last expansion, I came back for Classic but lost interest by the time I was lvl 57. I enjoyed WoW for what it was, but the game play was lacking and the fun dynamic with playing others and making friends is long gone.
Nice video esfandL
Does hardcore not entertain on retail? Really feel like it would
i like the way he says "chris"
the fist
Best dungeon comp: Warrior, rogue, warlock, mage, shaman :D
Hey esfand. you're awesome dude, thanks for the streams. peace friend
1.25 speed and mute done
Imagine if when the HC servers are about to shut down. They have a massive battle between the factions and it plays out like a real battle because you only have 1 life and the team that's last alive just wins azeroth lol
What sword is he using gere
5 weeks til official?
How can you play the same class over and over and over again? Why not have a change? :D
I only warlock for 19 years some ppl like a change I find other classes boring.

Classic wow makes my heart happy... i guess ill have to resub and make a hc account...

In hardcore you only have 1 chance per dungeon at loot.
Kalgarth the real mvp
Watched this at 2.5x speed just liked you asked :)
im number 1
best of the best alliance aka mid tier horde
5/5 didnt watch video at all. Cause esfand said to put it in background.
HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW ABOUT THAT NINJA PULL SPOT? Caps sry not sry
He is a casual clearly
Dont watch this video guys
esfandL
Then Blizz made a mace with the same skin. Sadness.
Coulda held threat better with SoR and one hander.
Edit: also your dps was deliberately swapping and hitting different targets trying to pull of ya
I was doing both, and it's just some fun stream content man, it's not that serious.
@@EsfandTV Oh yeah I know it's just fun. Was just saying how Pallies can actually tank if people manage threat instead of try to steal it and if they use shield and SoR. Just didn't like seeing Kargath try and show ya up lol
esfands hdmi is too much. i dont think he lasts in HC lol.
Jesus big esfand doesn't have any idea how to tank lol
You're an idiot lol
first
the green screen is scaring me...thats how it started with Swifty and now hes cringey
im only commenting for clout
I love Esfand :D such a personality, but damn after playin paladin for so long , he fuckin sucks ^^
You're so stupid lol
came to not watch the video
this guy kissed my dad
L BC
