nice video and compliments to your high qualtity content, I really enjoy it! I would like to suggest two other abilities for this kind of list (maybe for another video in the future ;) : Holy Strike and Crusader Strike for the Paladin class Both were scrapped for player use before the offical release (with Crusader Strike returning in TBC), while Scarlet Crusade members were still able to use them
Thanks mate - I'm glad you have such high views of the content! My original list of removed abilities was actually a lot longer than the list of abiliites in the video and I had Holy Strike included. There are still more cool spells that I would like to talk about, and I think there would be enough for a part 2. I will definitely consider it!
I was thinking of making a vanilla like server with all the abilitys that got removed, and just balance them, Pallys needed Crusader strike, many other classes were much cooler before the removes.
I always wondered if two spells were originally meant for classes: "Enchanted Quickness" from Defias Enchanters and "Arcane Bolt" From Twilight Emissaries. The first one was very broken indeed; the second one could've worked to improve the number of spells Arcane mages had and for their mobility.
Man, I remember cause I got into the beta when it was technically the late alpha (they did a new client download and basically rebuilt the game) and the history of mage/priest CCs is weird. Late alpha: Mage had Chains of Ice, Priest had Sleep. Beta: Mage had Sleep, Priest had Shackle Undead. Later beta: Mage lost Sleep, gained Polymorph, no more changes. BTW, I remember they added hunters really late in beta (like beta started with a level cap of 35, going up as they had more zones ready for testing, and hunters were added when the cap was raised to 55 or 60, IIRC) and they were pretty much how they are in Classic/vanilla, so man, I really wonder what the internal versions that used focus would've been like.
Damn, that's interesting - must have been very special getting into the beta! How were you chosen for beta back then? Sounds like they weren't very clear on what types of CC to give the different classes early on - I think the end result was pretty good, however. I don't know much about the early focus system myself, but I think it's cool that the focus requirement error still pops up when I try to use Explosive Shot. Would have been interesting to see what exact ideas they had for it for sure!
Damn, that's sad. I wonder if it might be a bug in Classic. When you read through the old database comments there are multiple people claiming it works on raid bosses. "This can be used on MC bosses", "This Owns in Naxx at Meaxxna", "it works on nefarian =D" etc.
Now that I watched this video, I feel like the hunters ability feign death makes so much more sense on a druid as "play dead," and would synergize with a hybrid class. Play dead, drop combat, switch into healing/tank gear and bam, could make the difference between a wipe and a clutch kill in a raid. Like why does the hunter just flop onto the ground and pretend to be dead? Makes as much sense as a rogue doing it.
That's a very good point that I haven't thought of. The ability to drop out of combat and switch from DPS to healing gear for example could be very powerful on a druid. I don't know how giving hunters Feign Death makes sense from a practical perspective. Maybe they're used to playing dead to survive bear or other animal attacks when they're out hunting or something, but that's a bit of a stretch.
Shadow word: fumble could have been a thing just call it Shadow word: Blind cut the 75% to 30% the duration was fine. Flavor text The Priest uses its shadow powers to weaken the targets eye sight for a few seconds.
Yeah, I guess Blizzard could have worked a bit more with the idea of Fumble and improved the theme / design. You could think of it like a reverse Evasion in a way. Maybe I just have too many bad memories of Dust Cloud and missing swings over and over which makes me dislike it.
@@moegdalswowvideos6800 30% a boss missing a warrior tank, rip rage gen. I know TBC having like around 40% avoidance between dodge and parry in 5 mans i could be rage starved. I still used rage pots in TBC just get nice little jump on rage in the pull., but not worth it for 5 mans. Full T1 you can good amount I don't know the numbers off top my head plus the 30% the OP is talking about would be above 40%. When you block you get rage from the hit and bonus rage from talent. You rather block than dodge or parry, even if you factor in parry haste. Now if it had a cool down longer than duration, maybe up the % missed and use it as defensive CD for the tank. I think some where around 50%. Would be fun use patchwork if your tank is getting beaten on.
@@DubhghlasMacDubhghlas For PvE, that's definitely a point to consider. I didn't think about that. With the correct tweaking I guess it could work as a "defensive" cooldown like you say. Or you could make bosses immune to it :D
@@moegdalswowvideos6800 even a 30% miss debuff on player would be huge. In pvp if it had high up time would mean priest would be in so demand in premades. Would be pretty godly in 1 on 1. As someone played warrior mostly leveled 2 handed when you miss your white swings, you are so screwed with rage gen. I just think that spell is really strong. Just about any way you slice it. I can see why it was scrapped would be tough to balance. I think as defensive CD would be easier to balance, and it would be neat if vanilla had defensive CD that a healer could use for their groups to help the tank, etc.
@@DubhghlasMacDubhghlas I don't like the design of the spell as it existed then, and I agree it would have to be made into a defensive CD for it be more fun for all parties. As a warrior for example, your melee swings is all you have almost so having a miss debuff put on you frequently (especially in PvP) would be horrible.
I'd have to look into that since I know nothing about it. Did it differ from the other client in any notable ways? If there's something interesting to talk about then sure :-)

Never thought i'd be so happy to hear Arnold again
Hehe, thanks!
You're breadth of knowledge and quality of these videos really shows. You're absolutely killing it.
Keep up the fantastic work.
That's an amazing compliment - thanks a lot mate :) I'm honored!
It’s true
Very cool video! Thanks for the time putting it together!
Thanks a lot and thanks for watching! Hope it was worth your time :-)
@@moegdalswowvideos6800 Worth.

@@s0ryn18 Always! I'm thankful for your support :-)
@@moegdalswowvideos6800I like how when I read your responses I read them in your Ahnold-esque voice.
I watch a lot of your videos because they include info I have not seen before and high quality. Decided to subscribe this time. Keep it up!
Thanks a lot man. Very glad you're finding the videos informational. I hope I'll be able to keep them coming :)
Love me some content from the WoW terminator

Sounds good to me :D I think u should.
That sounds very cool - it would probably be a bit hard to do, though.

Focus is a resource in classic wow, you can use the GM command .modify focus 100000 to add focus and then cast the explosive shot fyi
Oh, I will have to check that out. Interesting, thanks!
Love the video as usual bro! Keep them coming 🧡
Thanks bro! I appreciate the support. I'm glad you enjoyed the video :-)
Love this channel "al be back" for any more amazing content : )
Thanks a lot for the nice comment mate! I'm very happy you enjoy the channel :-)
Imagine druid healer and tank with fd, and 3 hunters. Could go for specific bosses in most instances
And rogues ofc
That's actually a good point. I didn't even think of that. I guess you could do some quick, boss specific dungeon runs very quickly that way.
My boy is back!
Hehe, cheers mate!

Quality vids, Arnol-... I mean Moegdal.
Thanks man! I'll be back... with more videos in the future, hopefully :)
coming from a danish family, i now realise how thick my uncles accent is
Sadly Bag of Marbles can't be used on raid bosses, atleast not on rag. I tried it on our first attempt and I sadly got the "Immune" floating text.

Ah, all right.
Maybe make a video about the wow linux client that existed in wow-vanilla beta.
I'd have to look into that since I know nothing about it. Did it differ from the other client in any notable ways? If there's something interesting to talk about then sure :-)

@ Ah, that's interesting. Did we ever get a version of the game for Linux and if so, when?
@@moegdalswowvideos6800 Just in the vanilla beta. After that its just in house.
@ I see. I wonder what prevented them from implementing a version for Linux and how far from implementation they were.
