@@samljer Yeah, I was always a fan of hugging the side. It is hard to get the team to consistently do that though. A lot of people just want to fight instead of win. More power to them.
fighting middle is fine most of the time- just sometimes it isn't. similar to AB fighting on roads is great when you're winning, but bad when you're losing.
WSG will always be my favorite battleground. It's very easy to find some action and as a Shaman being a flag runner was always a possibility. Picking up Berserking and doing an Elemental Mastery/Chain lightning was quite fun too
Always loved your videos As much as i am hyped for classic, life just does not allow me to play wow as i did 15 years ago Your videos are the only connection i have left with wow Please continue with these great videos :)
Pallys can also buff themselves with Blessing of American Freedom. This buff builds a wall around the palladins body to prevent immigrant orcs doing harm to them
Another point for the sham if the wolf form since its also 40% speed like the cheetah form of the druids, also since shams can use mail and shield they can also hold some damage.
Being able to do WSG at low levels is a good way to break from leveling and get a little rep towards those good exalted rewards. Also, not related to WSG, but that AV quest you can take at like lv50-52 gets you a pretty good blue weapon as long as you can win it! BTW: shamans are really good with earthbind totem more than tremor in WSG. Tremor's range kinda sucks in BGs, and earthbind's AOE slow messes up everybody who doesn't have a FAP or BOF going as they support the flag runner or chase the guy who took it. And you can purge those buffs too! Plus ghost wolf for a weaker version of travel form makes them a good runner support or mid support if they're ele/resto, or a face destroyer if they're enh with a good 2h.
I was a troll rogue engineer, and loved being able to grab the alliance flag, rocket boot off the cliff and parachute my way to the entrance to my base's tunnel. A quick sprint up the slope and I was ready to go do it again. But eventually a patch was introduced that made you drop the flag upon activating your rockets. Spoilsports, haha.
It use to get you could drop the flag and pick it right up again. A preparation rogue was insane during that time period in WSG. Vanish, once slowed. Usually in mid at that point, regrab the flag, hit prep and sprint again.
Even If he starts a fresh Character in a new server, the classic community will still hate him no matter what, classic community are like Trump haters "Bald Man Bad". Such pathetic NPCs
I missed when they took the buffing out before you entered a BG I use to go golds hire at low level yell buff please and get the high rank buffs and go in and be a boss fight all on your own it was so fun xD
OMG, so many memories... We had a 2 druids flag carriers premade... I was also a flag defending rogue. I was able to make it to lvl 13... I had no life... :-)
1:23 this is one of things you see, think "what in hell did I just watch" then you try and forget for 20+ years and just when it's *almost* gone, there it is again, and you realise that it's pretty much etched into your brain forever (seriously last time I saw this was well before youtube and I can't even remember what led me to seeing it, but I vaguely recall it being ultima online they're trying to recreate)
Well irl he was saying lightning bolt every 0.5 seconds so I would of just assumed it was rank one. Then I would of shouted RESIST RESIST RESIST and smacked him with my sword

@@WhySooSeriouslol They used to be so good with the high level enchantments that they had to be nerfed.They made it where the items had levels so that high level enchantments could not be cast on low level items.
Wait. Are you saying there are vendors in TBC? I mean at the instances themselves? I’ve never used the instance and even though I maxed a hunter, I never even saw the instance itself. I didn’t do any pvp with my Hunter and really regret it so I made a Druid twink. Been doin BGs with him at level 19. I thought the only vendors were the ones in orgrimmar. This video is a year old so just wondering if this is still a thing. I mean these vendors
I wonder what your view is on the Anti Healer Add On's like H.H.T.D and others like that I played a Resto Druid in vanilla right up to LVL 70 before going just raid healing, and Yes From WSG AB or AV you new you were top of the target tree but They had to spot you healing and mark you up,.. and I use to get a chance to run around heal before they did that,. With Classic and the what I see as the newer add on's, I am more dead than I am alive because I have the HHDT Marker on my head from the very start of the match have add-on's made BG"s a no go for Pug Healers like myself,... Have the BG's become a battle of who has the best Skills over who has the Better Add On's? Like to know your views on this as right now I am still a leveling Restro Druid in Classic and am finding it much worse in the WSG as a healer and am close to stopping healing in BG's all together I never found it like this in Vanilla and that was on RavenCrest Eu a PVP server. Were because of there being no cross-realm BG's you often were face to face with the same guys you meet in the non BG world.
Vanilla WSG was fun, the meta is going to shift completely in Classic. If I were to guess I'd say 2-3 rogues + 1 druid with sapper charges and thorium grenades are going to camp the graveyard. with a mage for clean up on the bottom of the cliff. Right when spawn goes off, the rogues and druid are going to dump the sappers and nades, and clean up anyone who stays up top. anyone who jumps down a mage will just be waiting for you. Meta is going to shift to needing FAPs or Major HP Pots to sustain through the burst from the respawn. Whichever team gets the kill advantage off the first or second skirmish is going to get a fast double cap.
I literally just use American football defensive coverage references and the group all of a sudden gets competitive and starts listening, works every time. It’s fun when you assign players certain roles and they actually follow through.
I do agree alliance was bit overpowering in most BG, but the alliance community eas equally toxic. I had a nightelf hunter, tried 3 guilds Nd so many pvp teams but the toxic behaviour was out of proportion, then i made a Blood elf Mage- man being in horde was a relief. Loosing is bit sad, but we still had fun helping and trying - like it was a breather from the toxic nature of most alliance players. I liked horde so much that i made Blood elf Priest during bc and DK during lich king. Its better to loose and be jolly happy enjoying gameplay than stay with Toxic players and win. HORDE for life!!
Been on battle grounds for the past few hours and alliance hasn't won on my server once. At one point a dude went "everybody split up!". I keep yelling to stick together and nobody listens, you'd think they'd notice the horde keeps coming in groups. I'm so frustrated.
When being a Shaman was awesome, earthbind totem was hated by the Alliance since they didn't have it and at a game that played different having a totem that slowdown everyone around and only available for the Horde they used to hate us ;) Oh and on top we drop Wimdfury Totem (not available for the alliance haha) it was overkill
I hope that the BGs help cool off the world PvP. I have gone back to retail. After being disgusted by forced to reroll on a PvE realm to do any kind of gold-making outside of AH flips.
Is the matchamking balanced, or does it just throw random people together? Don't feel like getting stomped by players that have been doing this for years in private servers. And do you get matched against premades if you solo que?
lmao when you said "is said to be released in early 2020" for a moment i thought that was some weird joke before realizing that it is really fucking 2020 in less than a month. i hope they fix the speed of time in the next patch
I used to have a couple of filthy 19 twinks back in the day. I was eventually recruited by my realm’s most elite 19 twink guild, Killa Beez. Anyone here from that guild? I can’t remember the server name to be honest. Also, are people making twinks in classic right now? I’m so tempted to jump back into WoW!
Originally you needed revered with the warsong factions in order to be able to buy the rare items, such as bows and other weapons. If this is still the case in classic, then i doubt most people will farm it for leveling purpose.
@@spencers4121 ofc they will. Everything is min-max hardcore right now. And everyone knows what to do on a 15 year old game in order to accomplish things faster and with more efficiency.
Guys a tip. Just play WSG as playing moba. Remember that you are alaways playing well and if you lose is 100% your team fault! Moreover the other team is full of smurfs. If you remember this 2 points you will be the best player out there! Thanks for the video Mad!
What I've learned in all my years of WoW (as a healer on alliance): The majority alliance think they're solo one-shot heroes, hence why horde stomps us most of the time.
Thats the majority of players in both factions. Ive only ever been healed in one game in av since it released. (Im a warlock). The druids are feral, priests are shadow and shamans dont wanna heal. (The alliance always have more healers than the horde) Ive leveled a 17 priest and been doing quite well in the 10-19 bracket. Im not twinked but i can make a difference in the game.
Tell you a little story about how good my premade warsong team was. We went in with the plan that our warrior would carry the flag. However, he would only /walk for the entire match. We won.
@bean machine One match we all wore what we called out, about town clothes. No armor, just role playing gear. Pretty funny stuff when you are grinding honor for days you gotta get a laugh in once in a while
@bean machine Even better when we faced other pre mades and still won. Still fun when we played vs a pug of cry babies that were shit at pvp. "But we have a pally! we should be winning" :(

If you wernt there in the first place wouldnt be a problem.
