Protection paladin in TBC was very fun and actually useful due to Avenger's Shield and Consecration. Gearing up the character was odd though since you needed +defense, +stamina, and +spell damage on nearly every piece of gear.
I remember they had a talent in wotlk, not sure if it was there in BC, but it gave like 60% of your strength as Spell Power, or something like that. Prot/Holy Hybrids were fucking impossible to kill
@@Robin-qg4mw Cata launch was arguable one of the most refined and best periods of WoW with the bastion of twilight raid tier. Then came Dragon soul and LFR and it automatically became one of the worst periods of WoW.
Wrath Enhance shaman was a lot of fun. All that haste stacking leading to a almost 1sec short GCD. Hardest rotation in the game after kitty druid also in wotlk.
I came here to say just that. Back when haste actually increased the speed at which you attacked there were so many items and skills in the shamans kit that synergised perfectly with it. There were trinkets and first weapons that had a chance to proc off hit, windfury, lightning shield and more. With enough haste you had everything popping off all the time, it was absolutely insane and literally no one could keep up with me by the time I was mostly 25man hc geared on the stand and hit fights. I remember even decent rogues saying "what the fuck is this???" :D Even the rotation was more of a battle to keep all your buffs up and fit everything in because you were expending them so fast. Then they totally changed haste and destroyed everything that made enh shaman fun for me :( Literally everything popping off all the time because of my insane attack speed
@@Eddy-vt7dr frost dks did not have raid wide blessing of wisdom with mana spring totem, nor did they have instant massive healing waves, grounding and earthbind totem, hex, a ranged kick on a 6 sec cd, and last but not least they did not have bloodlust... I'd rather take a good enhancement shaman in a 5 man dungeon over a frost dk any day of the week. But yeah for a 10 man raid or something that already had a resto sham and paladin, I'd take a fdk
Also been rocking the enhancement shaman for as long as I can remember. Will never forget the muscle memory for that priority system rotation. The best part about enhancement pve in Wrath was that the priority system changed quite a bit depending on your gear and the fight. Such a diverse dps spec. Also without a doubt the most fun I've ever had in pvp as well. Here's a small guide I made on the spec if anyone's interested in playing wrath enhancement pve at a high level. truewow.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=34344
Combustion for fire mages that came out after Wotlk made the class for me. From my memory, it would take your last ignite tick and create a new dot, probably called combustion on the target. It synergized well with the talent that caused fireblast to spread the combustion dot to all nearby targets. It was a bit of an rng nightmare because pretty much only your last two or three casts counted on your ignite dot, so you wanted two crits in a row, which procced an instant cast pyroblast which you also wanted to crit. Then you pop combustion, then hoped your fireblast talent had procced, or force it to proc with an instant cast aoe fire spell, so you could spread combustion. You also wanted your fire DoTs to have crit too, adding to your ignite tick, like living bomb. To me, it required mods to track each of your spell crits and do some math for you. Fire mages could do insane damage in aoe fights and it was quite challenging to manage your cooldowns and potions to maximize the damage. It also made it very difficult to evaluate two raiding fire mages. I raided on most classes over many years, and I never knew anything as interesting as combustion if you min/maxed it. Except wiping wiping last and saving corpse runs as mage too. And in the very rare case, defeating a boss with mirror image tanks. Anub'rekan in heroic 10 man. Snickerfritz.
Yeah same here with blood dks, especially when it was working in pvp aswell. I would go to oggrimar with my disc buddy to 1 shot people with deathstrike hahaha
I'm not sure how many ele shamans did this in MoP, but pre Siege of Orgrimmar's Conductivity was so good. If you casted healing rain and stood in it, you would be healed for 50% of the damage you dealt from spells. This was a soloist's dream and could also provide some awesome aoe healing support. I even used it to solo the nest rotation on Ji'Kun in ToT (10 normal) when it was current. Just cast healing rain, earthquake, and spam chain lightning. It was pretty amusing watching my HP bounce back and forth.
Cataclysm fire mage is a must mention for this video imo. The way combustion worked in cataclysm was the most busted out of all expansion and everyone rolled fire in dragonsoul bacause it was insanely powerful. Its was also so unic in pvp because you did a lot of damage with ignite fireplast scorch and living bomb ticks and occasionally some instant pyros. It's was a hell lot of fun
I'd have to say my favourite spec was prot warriors in cata because of the insane shield slam crits and the ability to spread rend to other targets with thunderclap.
Cata Disc Priest was the best time I've had in the game. MoP Disc was even more OP, but I only played the last patch during MoP and I mained Shadow with Disc OS. Huge shields, evang, huge penance, and of course, Divine Aegis. That style was far superior than the Legion / BfA version of Disc.
Wotlk boomkin was so much fun. Another fun specc was restro shaman in wotlk with their totems and chain heal. I liked the rng factor and the fact that you didnt went oom.
Smite Priest falls off really hard after Kara and Gruul due to gear scaling, not really viable. But yes, it was fun while it lasted! Also, pls send some love to PVE Arms during TBC :3
At the end of the video when you got to boomkin I was 100% convinced you were going to pick Cata boomkin because those Mushrooms were ridiculously OP, I was crushing dps on most fights waiting for solar and then explode those prefight placed shrooms & replacing them while dodging fire. The most fun I had was: 1. Cata boomkin 2. Cata survival hunter 3. Vanilla shockadin ( geared ) 4. TBC bm hunter 5. TBC destro lock
I'm having a lot of fun with arcane Mage in Bfa. I like the mana cycle rotation and you can continue casting while blinking + double blink + you can blink back to your initial position. Makes a very fun and unique spec in raids. Very mobile yet with a very high active (casting) time
If I had to choose one, it would be Destro or Ele in MoP. There are valid critiques of MoP, but for the ROTATIONS feeling satisfying and interesting almost every spec checked that box for me.
MoP had the best class design in WoW's history. Too bad the concept was the worst by far with that Chinese bullshit and the worst race in all the franchise.
Vannila mixed spec warrior. So much room for micro improvements with stance dancing, managing rage, cool downs, weapon switching etc. Feels like there is almost no limit to the tiny improvements and decisions one can make when playing. Mists of pandaria DK blood / frost. I played both and they had a similar mechanic with building up the power of one attack and then pressing it at the right moment for juicy damage and healing in blood's case which never got boring. Blood also felt like a one man army with self sustain like no other spec and a lot of potential when used just right like soloing current expansion content! Mop destruction warlock. What's more fun than landing that big powerfull bolt of desctruction at the just right time? Duplicating it to another mob! shadow orb style (mop and wod) shadow priest gets a shoutout too as it's been my main throughout most of wow, but admittedly the gameplay wasn't quite as skillfull or satisfying as the other ones.
I played boomkin in WotLK and I agree, it was a lot of fun. Just the RNG of eclipse made it more fun imo, better than the progress bar we got after that.
MoP Enhancement was the most fun that spec had, WotLK was the finalized version of it, and Cata just improved it but adding nothing new to it such as ability. MoP made it complete with a bursty cooldowns and elemental blast that deals 60k damage in pvp back when pvp res was at 80% with 2 trinkets. So Arenas and bgs were fun to play as enhancement and they were stupid strong against casters.
holy paladin in wrath is my all time favorite. not because it was hard to heal, but because the amount of micromanaging you need to become an actual good healer and the ability to carry raid fights was just insane. honorable mention goes to the pserver lordearon, where you had to micromanage like a mfuker as a holy paladin (in an actual raiding enviroment). nobody is talking about casuals here :p
I have never played druid, couldn't get past the lower levels, but I always loved rolling with a boomkin. Specs like smite priest, always make me wonder, what would wow be like if they actually made all these weird specs viable(remember your spell damage hunter vid), you could run raids with no two people with the same spec
I came back to WoW during WoD and I was taken completely by surprise by the 'Gladiator' dps spec for protection warriors. Doing dps with a shield was so awesome.
When discussing Boomkins in Classic, people gloss over or never mention the 3% crit bonus raidwide. How much extra damage does that cause for the raid? Hard to put a number on but very important I assume. I remember Burning Crusade. That's when I started playing. I still have and old account filled with lvl 85 toons somewhere....
People forgot about double trinkets in vanilla. Boomkins with double trinket could one shot anyone. There was a old pvp video of a guy getting insane star fire crits. I haven't seen that video in 12-13 years. i played Ommkin during the Pre TBC patch. You could get the rank 14 weapons without the rank requirements. Finally got the main hand and I was hitting hard. Could only imagine what numbers we could of got if double trinket was around then.
MoP had the best class design. It was hard to find a bad spec back then. My favorites are Fire mages in Cata because of how combustion worked. It was kinda hard to pull off but when you had everything lined up, oh boy.. craziest AOE damage EVER. Extremely satisfying. Second is Balance druids in MoP, because.. PewPewPew and Starfall. Didn't like the changes they made to balance in WoD.
I used to play Cata on Tauri wow. Elemental shamans with the FL 4/4 set making lava burst instatnt and with Rathrak (the dagger from madness) being bugey it proced the reset on your lava burst. Before I reported it i took it in to AV and when the dagger proced on a group of enemies just spamm lava burst every global. (Keep in mind that cata lava burst wasn't balanced around it, it could crit for 80K in pvp proc the duplication of it so it was usual to kill someone in 3 globals if the dagger proced on enought people.)
it was also the time where feral druids were the absolute monsters in arena and pvp in general. Those insane bleed dmg with crits and the instant cyclone/heals made feral druid a tr1 class/spec for pvp.. Which is insane.
TBC Shadow Step rogue was my absolute favorite. I could take on 2-3 shit geared players with no problem. When I finally got the Season 3 swords I was unstoppable. A close second is WotLK shadow priest during Ice Crown.
So looking at those ignite ticks which aren't even 100% your makes the spec fun? Other expansions had much cooler ignite mechanics, where u actually had to build it and use properly. MoP/WoD had rly cool fire mage specs.
Overall I'd say my top 10 specs: Fury Warrior - any expansion. Prot warrior - since WotLK Sub rogue - pre legion Frost DK - especially in Wrath Enhancement - ever since TBC Port Paladin - since WotLK Retribution - since WotLK Windwalker - any expansion. Brewmaster - any expansion Holy priest tied with Resto shaman - since WotLK
Shit you could have put any of the dks on there and wrath era and it would have been fine lol I miss when I first got introduced when they were just o p running around in northrend 1 V2 in people that are max level in your 77 xD
IIIRattleHeadIII Dude im a fury main for a lot of years but you have to appreciate the fun of Arms in MoP. PvP was so amazing to play and the rotation was hella fun. MS rage generator, overpower fast gcd, slam actually hit some damage instead of tickling like now.
Moonkin was WAY OP in TBC! And i still think as in TBV, that one class should not be able to do everything, DPS, Tank and healer as good they could do it in TBC after they got boosted by Blizz.
in TBC i felt like every class was broken in both pve and pvp... what a great expansion that was. I mean when we talk about pvp and whats the most broken thing, there's at least 15 class/specs that comes to mind for pvp, lol. Disc priest, frost mage, multilate-shadowstep rogues, all kind of druids(especially resto) and shamans, shadow priests, freaking SL/SL warlocks, paladins, warriors ofc... Everyone was just broken for some reason... u could be and do anything u wanted.
@@akhsdenlew1861 hahaha for sure :) tho the moonkin shit is what i remember the most and i was a crapy dwarf Hunter, but the final nail in the coffin was then ther removed mana from hunters, i was done then.
Jon Coke Jones Also the rage generating mortal strike + the old overpower it was so fking fast to spam. Also slam actually did some dmg instead of hitting like a wet noodle.
I did, raided with it on Dalaran WoW though I enjoyed destruction more. It had a simpler rotation but the big-ass crits from Chaos Bolt were pretty awesome to see.
@@HamsterWheelGaming Then you should try hybrid demo / destro spec. With conflagate in destro spec and molten core talent in demo spec for better execution boss phase :)
Because this is about the underdogs of raiding. Shadow priest raiding in cata and up was definitely not an underdog anymore. This is not about when they were great, this is about when they went from a class with a negative stigma to a respected class.
@@HamsterWheelGaming Shadow Priest during Ice Crown could top the meters. Mind Sear was buffed to insane levels and we could AOE with the best of them.
For me: Ele shaman in BC Arcane mage in Wotlk (my fav) Resto druid in wotlk Survival hunter in cata (twink explosive shot was so fun) Fury warrior in Wotlk. Wotlk was when i was at the age i understood the game and started raiding, also did raids for my dads characters and just had so much fun
"The mobs in molten core and blacking lair were immune to frost damage"
Excellent
"That's why you go frost"
Hehe my bad, that one slipped through the editing.
Thewinner4me maybe they knew they were sensitive to frost and got resistance gear

Prot Warrior in WoTLK: Revenge itself does more DPS than anyone else in the party.
no
???
Catsclysm (launch) Retribution Paladins was the best design for the spec ever! Tbh every spec during that time felt complete imo.
I didnt play cata but didnt cata suck as an expansion
@@Robin-qg4mw Cata launch was arguable one of the most refined and best periods of WoW with the bastion of twilight raid tier.
Then came Dragon soul and LFR and it automatically became one of the worst periods of WoW.
@@accless510 100% agree the first raid tier of cata was the most fun raid tier from bc to mop but the dragon soul tier was god awful
@@niallhogan6198 yeah but pvp in 4.3 was the best it's ever been imo
Are you taking the piss? Yeah that 1 ability holy power builder was so good..
Wrath Enhance shaman was a lot of fun. All that haste stacking leading to a almost 1sec short GCD. Hardest rotation in the game after kitty druid also in wotlk.
The most complex, yes, but I think Arms/Fury 2h slam hybrid in TBC required more micromanagement (and was more lag dependent).
Enha Shaman in wrath was kind of unneeded, seeing how Frost DKs had the same buffs but also better damage
I came here to say just that.

MoP had the best class design of any expansion, don't @ me
I miss early Wotlk Blood Dk DPS spec :(
same here. People always laughed at me but was always on top. Was cooldown dependend but so fun! Dancing rune weapon and corpse explosion!
I miss my MOP eley shaman. More electricity than Hoover dam
Throwing meatballs at stuff was a lot of fun, shame what shaman dps specs have turned into now.

wrath of the lich king rogues with fan of knives was dope too, i remember pulling 24K dps on the whelps in onyxia's liar
Shadow Step.....
I miss popping blade flurry then killing spree with proc enchantments on my rogue. So much fun going raw for a few moments :p
Wish you could make a video and point out which expansion each class was most fun
ah, i agree with your #1 since i used to be Boomkin at the WoTLK expansion, and i was #2 geared boomkin in the server! cheers for BOOMKINGS!

Specs like smite priest, always make me wonder, what would wow be like if they actually made all these weird specs viable(remember your spell damage hunter vid), you could run raids with no two people with the same spec
Cata ele shaman was pretty fun having basically a full time fire ele was amazing.
If you ever play legion you must test disc priest. They heal of the dammage they do and its lots of fun
I came back to WoW during WoD and I was taken completely by surprise by the 'Gladiator' dps spec for protection warriors. Doing dps with a shield was so awesome.
Prots always did dps with their shield?
duh.. but it was a dps spec, not a tanking spec.
sv hunter in cata is the most fun hunter specc ever in my opinion...not only the rotation but the overall feel also in aoe fights...
my fav is the beast master spec at the start of wotlk where u can just send in ur pet in 2s and just kill before beastial wrath ended
Not to mention the spellstrike set in tbc that further buffed your damage and crits as a lock :D
Aw yeah, spellstrike
The ele shaman was top tier in mop.
When discussing Boomkins in Classic, people gloss over or never mention the 3% crit bonus raidwide. How much extra damage does that cause for the raid? Hard to put a number on but very important I assume.

totally agree; I mained a balance druid late tbc-early cata
MoP was the peak of wow
@Nationalism Is Sacred ! I don't care about sub numbers. Gameplay was the best in MoP, only idiots like you didn't play it because of panda
find someone who loves you like hamsterwheel loves balance druids
Love at first sight lol, it would be the happiest marriage ever
The problem with Ele shamans from MoP onwards is PvP and PvE talents are a lot different. so you had to respec all the time.
Lol respecing isn't a problem. It should be like that on every class. Running the same talents in any content is boring af
@@ziggs123 But it feels really bad when you are pve speced and gets ganked in open world.

Jon Coke Jones Definetely. It was so fun to pvp as an arms warrior oh god i had so many stuff to work with instead of 6-7 total buttons
Jon Coke Jones Also the rage generating mortal strike + the old overpower it was so fking fast to spam. Also slam actually did some dmg instead of hitting like a wet noodle.
Shadow during the Ice Crown era was on par with Panda.
Cool Video
Elemental has been such a great spec since lava burst
Absolutely!
have you tried Demonology Warlock in WotLK expansion? It's preety fun tho
I did, raided with it on Dalaran WoW though I enjoyed destruction more. It had a simpler rotation but the big-ass crits from Chaos Bolt were pretty awesome to see.
@@HamsterWheelGaming Then you should try hybrid demo / destro spec. With conflagate in destro spec and molten core talent in demo spec for better execution boss phase :)
Someone favors casters.
How is Shadow Priest legion surrender to madness not listed.....
Because this is about the underdogs of raiding. Shadow priest raiding in cata and up was definitely not an underdog anymore. This is not about when they were great, this is about when they went from a class with a negative stigma to a respected class.
@@HamsterWheelGaming Shadow Priest during Ice Crown could top the meters. Mind Sear was buffed to insane levels and we could AOE with the best of them.
was that tbc server smolderforge?
Yep!
SL/SL in tbc...
This shit was the best use to duel people naked with it
It was strong but nobody wanted to play it or play against it, it was so boring.
STM Shadow Priest
Frost Mage Double Lance

Ret pala in wotlk, miss those days
oh god...what an insane damage output ret pala had in wotlk... disgusting.. Thank god they didn't have a reduce healing debuff.
Seal of Blood Pally during TBC. I miss those days as well.
I’m sorry fire mage in Wrath was so fucking good imo the best the mage class ever has been
So I gathered you have no clue how to play melee
or he doesnt like melee classes? lmao
Hamsterwheel has even stated it before he's a mage through and through he's a mage if he's not playing mage he's a druid
Same rolled boomie in wotlk
Yes dude!!! I fucking played a survival hunter in cata and they were sick!!
Legion elemental shaman
wish u used some alliance models too
Frost dk in WoD. Unkillable
For me:
Ele shaman in BC
Arcane mage in Wotlk (my fav)
Resto druid in wotlk
Survival hunter in cata (twink explosive shot was so fun)
Fury warrior in Wotlk.
Wotlk was when i was at the age i understood the game and started raiding, also did raids for my dads characters and just had so much fun
7:40 UUUUUUNLIIIIIMIIITEEEEED POOOOOWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
TBC was better than vanilla in every way
wow, lame, you didnt list a single physical damage dealer (sorry, survival in cata was not really physical)
Wrath Dk unholy.
DW Unholy DK.
MoP ele.. brrrrruuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhh.......
I had a lot of fun with it, sue me
I expected nothing and still was disappointed
Just as i am by your comment.
why don't you two get married (bdruid) as you bagging each other already
Let me save ya'll some time. Every spec is an "underdog" spec and this is only really talking about classic/tbc private servers
I didn't know fire mage and survival hunter were considered underdog specs
legion fury best spec
REEEeeetail
You mean fire mage
