    Wrath was so fun because of the sheer amount of talent points and talents available. So much freedom in the game. No “this stat has no function for your class” BS and relatively few spec specific abilities. It was fun casting a heavy lava burst as enhancement and then running in and blasting people with storm strike. So much fun removal.

      Brother. Finally somebody who gets it. Maybe everybody else is too casual and those real Warcraft fans have to suffer because of it. Normal wow will never be the same now it's just tic tac toe. No Lore feeling no studying no deep knowledge and complexion. The deepness of the warcraft world is gone without fluid player identity.

    I remember from very early WOTLK for Shamans it was actually stronger to spec into Enhancement to as Elemental in a raid setting. The idea was to grab Mental Quickness (AP to SP scaling) in the Enhance tree along other beneficial talents while also getting the majority of the necessary Elemental talents. Librarian's Paper Cutter was a rare BoE dagger that had Spell Power and you could use in your offhand, which pretty much no other spell damage weapon let you do. So you'd use this in your offhand along another strong Spell Power main-hand and put Flametongue Weapon on both weps which granted flat spelldamage at the time, giving you insane amounts of total Spell Damage. I couldn't find the passive tree from early WOTLK. They fixed all of this at some point early during Naxx alongside some major buffs to Elemental.
    On a sidenote I also made a DPS/Tank hybrid spec around block value as a Prot Paladin. Shield of the Righteous rank 1 and 2 didn't share cooldown early on and was super busted. I did 2.8k DPS tanking Patchwerk the first reset we did, with pretty much exclusively heroic instance gear. Good times.

    There was one more funny WOTLK pally spec, holy spell damage ret would spec into divine storm which in early WOTLK scaled on spell power and you could practically one shot 6 targets if you glyphed into it. You would wear pally heal gear and run seal of rightousness instead of the standard strength ret builds

    I remember for a short time, when Naxxramas was the main raid, there was a weird build for enhancement shamans. There was some sort of bug with Flametongue weapon and Lava Lash. If you were enhancement spec but wore a full set of elemental gear and dual wielded spell power daggers you would actually do insane damage. It got fixed pretty quickly but it was fun being the top dps on every fight on my shaman.

  • @Wallcraft_Official
    @Wallcraft_Official 4 года назад +23

    You forgot the most broken spec of WotLK: Prot healer pally.
    In PVP healer gear, you would achieve almost 40k health (about as much as tanks), had unlimited mana, could silence 3 people with avengers shield, and were basically unkillable whilst healing single targets for more than any other class or spec. And the damage output was no joke; hammer of righteousness would scale with spellpower and cleave, which made the spec absolutely dominate turtle/cleave 3s compositions.
    My server group had several teams, one of which managed to earn Gladiator in the S5 season by going 150-0 - undefeated in the entire season. We knew to exit the arena when facing one of them, because we would just fight them for 20 minutes until we lost since we couldn't ever kill one of them (BM hunter, Prot healer, prot warrior)

      I remember this too. I jumped on the bandwagon too late and they nerfed it shortly after, but it was fun while it lasted! For those that don't know, it mainly revolved around staking AS MUCH stamina as you could, as each point converted it into spell power (or intellect, can't remember). In 3v3 my teammates would die and the team just couldn't kill me 1v3.

  • @highrhino
    @highrhino 4 года назад +1

    I dont remember the prot ret spec, but i do remember a prot holy spec being very popular for an almost unkillable healer with insane mana regen from the divine plea glyph. Also i used to tank as ret for dungeons in the icc patch, my mainspec was prot and at that point packs were dying so fast i could barely even mass pull, so i would just spec ret and use the + armour legs and a few parry and dodge items which made my single target and 3 target cleave much stronger.

    Also(although that maybe doesnt count as a spec) during Naxx the best dps weapon for enhancement shamans was a caster Mainhand, their flametongue buff used to scale with spellpower. Usually the Idea was to run windfury in mainhand and flametongue on offhand, but when you equipped a caster mainhand you would run double flametongue because of the ridiculous amounts of spellpower it gave.
    That resulted in higher dps than running a normal melee weapon with windfury on it.

    Protret and protholy were both some incredible stuff. Before nerfs they were able to get HoJ on a 20 second cooldown. You could literally DR your own stun if you were to use it as soon as it was ready. On protholy on the other hand you would stack stamina gems because of the talents that gave you increased stamina% and a % of your stamina as spell power. On top of that they had increased crit heals, beyond the normal 200%. You could get something like 23k holy light crits during the s6 era when hp pools were sub 30k. Also not to mention the 7k crits from your avenger's shield and 20 second HoJs as a healer.

He was going into the sub tree to grant him a talent where any1 in the raid that Crit you would get get a combo point as a rogue. Not party mind you but whole raid. So he was almost only spamming eviscerate every gcd. He was doing almost 3 times the dps than the 2nd or 3rd person on the meters. It was an absolute brilliant abuse of the talent. Blizzard soon changed it so that you get it only from the party and can occur once every 5 seconds.

    PROT HEALADIAN, was amazing, super survivable with tank talents and extra utility being able to have a ranged silence. Hard to be focused down and when you use you special prot buff you get mana back on dodges parrys and blocks do have a bunch of mana. You also got 300 percent healing from crit heals, was fun

    I had made a weird half fury/half prot build to solo farm my Thunderfury and Hand of Ragnaros back (which was pretty hard to do on a class with 0 self-healing), even using old TBC Fire Res gear for Geddon and Rag. Also for Fury tanking you didn't need or want to use a shield at all, not at the end of the expansion anyway, whole point was to have and generate as much rage as possible to spam Cleave. I had a spell bar with all my abilities with Cleave macroed into them by the end lol.

  • @randallnorton9504
    @randallnorton9504 2 года назад

    Don’t forget about holy/prot. At the beginning of wrath or at least in the pre-patch, instead of protection paladin scaling off of strength, they scaled off of stamina. So players had the bright idea to spec protection with a few points and holy, equip holy PVP gear with a ton of stamina, which turned into extra spell power from protection talents, and having all the survivability of protection. It was a PVP healing specialization that took at least seven people to take down. At least it took literally seven players combining their crowd control to take me down, and I was a very poor holy player with mediocre gear at Best.

  • @macmickyd1964
    @macmickyd1964 3 года назад

    I remember playing my DK before patch 3.2 came and revamped talent trees, I would actually make an unholy build to go and solo old raid bosses from Vanilla and BC like Onyxia (before she was brought up to lvl 80) and Doomwalker along with ZG and MC bosses as well just for fun. Unholy blight in it's first version was SO damn overpowered it was easily 30% of your damage as long as you kept it up at all times. Then they changed it to only have a dot on your current target for 20% of your Death Coil damage and it didn't stack either... (later 10%) which was stupid because casting Death Coil was a bit of a filler for dumping runic power and if one crit and the next one didn't the Unholy Blight damage would go off of the most recent Death Coil hitting the target. I'll admit, yeah it was a smart choice to revamp the talent because in later raids it would have completely destroyed every aoe mob pull and there would be pretty much no reason to play blood DK's at all even though they had really good single target dps, but that single target damage didn't start to actually take off and scale well until Ulduar gear was obtained.
    OG Unholy DK's for the win!

    I realize that this video is a little over a year old, but I just stumbled across it today. Anyone remember Prot Pally Healers in PvP right after launch?!? When "Touched by the Light" increased spell power by 30% of your stamina and increased crit heals by 10%? Wear full Holy PvP gear, so obviously lots of spell power anyway, and PvP gear is heavy on stamina, so you get that much more from it. Plus pretty much every defensive CD in the Prot tree. And of course plate armor and a shield. It was nearly impossible to kill one. I played the hell out of that spec in 2's and 3's. But sadly, after everyone complained about them being broken, Blizz changed the talent so it was based on strength instead of stamina and it killed the whole build. 😢

I know in WotLK I could solo lvl 60 raids pretty easily except for like the t3 stuff I would usually take a dps w/ me like a Hunter and I'd tank and heal myself

  • @EtherPump
    @EtherPump 4 года назад

    The Improved Cleave talent have been the same from classic to Wotlk.
    It doesn't simply increase all the damage you deal with cleave by 120%. It increases the BASE damage. It scales better with the lower damage you dealt.
    At level 80 your cleave did your weapon damage + 222 damage. Only the 222 damage part is increased by the improved Cleave talent.
    So for example say your weapon damage was 778, then your cleave would deal 1000 damage.
    With improved Cleve talent you'd deal 222+120%(222*2.2) to a total of 1266 damage(26.6% increase).
    Say instead your weapon damage was 3500. Then you'd deal 3722 damage untalanted and with improved cleave you'd deal 3988 damage(13.9% increase).
