I play a Brewmaster Monk and if you are curious what things are "magic" and which aren't... it turns out *ALL* Fire, Frost, Nature, etc. etc. are considered "magic" damage. Yes, being burned by campfires is Fire damage, and all Fire damage is magic as far as the game is concerned(just like the poison radiation blobs and robots that shoot electricty are considered "Nature" damage, so yeah). I tested this by going into the TBC dungeon that that those mana things that were impervious to magic attacks and Breath of Fire, Crackling Jade Lightning, and Rushing Jade Wind).

Very good production man! Great video 😊 wand only priest mage or lock would be cool too! Lock would probably be kind of easy hence, void wand spams tho
An idea that could probably go pretty similarly to your arcane only mage, a non shadow dps Priest. If you pick Night Elf, you get 4 usable spells for damage: Smite, Holy Fire, Holy Nova, and Starshards
Holy can level, with wand, reasonably slowly, but very safely. It wouldnt be a much of a challenge to use smite, holy fire and star shards as a nelf priest.
"There is never any satisfaction at the end of it. Just a need for more, more and more." Thats called an addiction my guy. Good thing these videos make you money.
I tried this on warlock about a year ago. I called it firestone Bladelock build because that was only damaging spell I was allowed to use (no pets either, only VW for sac), and I also stuck to swords and daggers. I only got as far as 21, and at that point I couldn't be arsed to do it again because it was really starting to slow down. STR and AP were pretty pointless, the best bet was to invest all into stamina. Also all casters start getting a massive glancing blow penalty around level 30, so after that point I would be relying almost entirely on firestone and other weapon procs I could find.
Haha! Just had a good chuckle My friend just tried it. Killed by a Koldbold. Died like Stan's Dad. It's funny watching gamers screaming like Ned Flanders. Engineering/high-ground and explosives. Don't forget the mini harvest reaper.
I actually finished a Melee Warlock named Meleemaster back before official HC servers. At levels 50+, it was legit super strong. Really fun run with some unique challenges!
"All Damage must be Melee" *Throws Dynamite* Maybe try Troll next time, they have good racial(Berserking, Regeneration, Beast Slaying) But still very impressive, good video :)
Since real melee classes usually have instant cast abilities, I would’ve allowed instant cast spells. Those usually have longer cooldowns or use a large amount of mana. Then again some could do so much damage that they’d break the challenge again so those would need special rules.
I was just doing a comparison between human and gnome mage base stats. Humans at lvl 6 have 21 str vs a lvl 6 gnome with 16 str. Gnomes have 24 agi and the human has 21 agi
This reminds me of me, I leveled my druid from 1 to 60 in vanilla as resto, only using moonfire and hitting things with my staff, it took forever but I had no clue how to play, luckily I got better (and smarter).
Consider the game downloaded, I remember watching you stream and you were like “shhhh this is what I’m doing” and shown it on your phone, been waiting on it to come out
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Grizabella The Unwise? I thought not. It’s not a story the RUclips Algorithm would tell you. It’s an internet legend. Grizabella was a Diablo II Sorceress, so powerful and so wise she could use Enchant to influence the midichlorians to create fire on her melee attacks… She had such a knowledge of the Fire Skill Tree that she could even keep the ones she cared about from going without bonus Fire damage. Challenge runs are a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. She became so powerful… the only thing she was afraid of was running out of mana to maintain her fire damage buff, which eventually, of course, she did. Unfortunately, she taught her apprentice everything she knew, then her apprentice killed her in her sleep. Ironic. She really got burned.
melee warlock sounds much more doable. Firestone for 1h sword or dagger, pets melee damage, demon armor, soul link (im thinking demo is the only way for melee lock to play). That could be something
Just a thought, how about consuming some buff food for extra stamina, and maybe grab some Elixir of Lion's Strength for a bit of extra melee damage? Good luck with the run! You're a mad man lol
Pretty cool concept - was wondering did you ever get to continue the "Melee Hunter"-journey? found that one quite interesting so was hoping for an update?
Is is technically feasible to level to 60, but you can only ever kill boars (and quests involving of course) ? Just stumbled on your channel, good stuff !
Wow my game already has over 30k downloads you should try it too! om2di.app.link/KingdomSurvivors
Could you make an in-game buy option to cancel ads? Great game 😊
@@Gokkee It's in the pipeline, a lot of fixing bugs and stuff around release so not sure when it's out
Un nerf Accelerate i miss being able to pick blazing vortex and afk until the last boss.
On a serious note any plans on making a discord for the game?
Have been playing it for a few weeks now, really good! However "missiles" are way too strong and "orbital" way too weak, might need a little balancing
@NatchoSama don't give them idea's to nerf 😆
Say orbitals are weak and everyone is happy 😉

Bombs might not be spells but they're not melee either.
Rather than melee only he means no spells run. Bombs might not be spells but their cds are really long so it's still insane suffering regardless
Next you should do a warrior that only casts frost spells
Punching warrior
Fists only
Or guns only
Sounds like the only ACTUAL challenge left for you is to get to level 60 without Engineering
You PSYCHO
You forgot no staff naked mage no profession whatsoever, and only level by red mobs
@@xyjff4447 then you could just use spells no?
@@moopotrop5462 unarmed melee only, also no buffs or pots of any kind and no eating
@@xyjff4447 also, monitor screen turned off so you can only play by listening to the sound cues.

It does have like a 60 second cd so not really

This content is absolutely AMAZING Jampanos... please keep making videos like this consistently :)
I love these series hope you keep doing them!
It is a crime that we haven’t seen the adventures of the melee mage for over 2 months now
Love this content dude! hope u keep going at it, with other classes and restrictions you come up with!
love the video! always thought a fun challenge would be to reach lvl 60 on hardcore but you have to quit if anyone ever buffs you xD
What a dedication! Liked, subscribed and downloaded your game! Crazy!
Also I was kinda sad for your first gnomie when she died :D :(
"There is never any satisfaction at the end of it. Just a need for more, more and more."
Thats called an addiction my guy. Good thing these videos make you money.
Next challenge : warlock to lvl 60 using imp only. No armor no weapon no skills. Just your fists and an imp.
Why not go Human mage and try to snag a decent sword and offhand since the int buff gnomes have doesn't really help you at all
because he didn’t think that hard
Gnomes do have escape artist though, that can be a lifesaver
@@austinm2185 yah but if you’re not doing the melee run you can just blink out of nets
Sword is just always lower dps than staff by quite a lot, and int is directly related to more hp with mana shield, so not bad at all!
Because he's a Gnome main. We all know what our character race says about us, lmao.
Its basicly just the warrior experience
Except warrior can actually press some buttons lol this is much more similar to pallys

Subscribed, nice content. Waiting patiently for the hundred hours to get to 40 now haha
I appreciate you including Guzu's "The Fall"
Very entertaining, I can't wait for the sequel.
Troll racials(and higher physical base stats) would go a long way on such a torturous challenge, doing it on a gnome gotta be extra painful.
For me its ok with bombs and frostshield, just call it no damage spells from mage challange or something^^
maybe a fist fighter warrior without professions next? there are still some spells you can use without a weapon
“Can I join for ragnaros? I spec no spell melee mage”
"All Damage must be Melee"
*Throws Dynamite*
Maybe try Troll next time, they have good racial(Berserking, Regeneration, Beast Slaying)
But still very impressive, good video :)
Some say he's still looking for that deadmines group
Amazing what a little gnome can do when they put their mind to it.
This was insane. Once I tried melee hunter but melee mage is on another level. xD
Just reading the title: yep, my man Jampanos indeed likes pain
Next episode when?

alliance man is traumatized after playing enhancement shaman with cloth instead of leather
This is absolutely insane. I cannot even believe the suffering involved.
My dude watched himself auto attack his way to level 20 he basically played Paladin
damn! let's goo! enjoyed the arcane only mage so much!
Have you heard of the flesh? He does a warrior with no armor or clothing. Might be an interesting journey!
I was just doing a comparison between human and gnome mage base stats. Humans at lvl 6 have 21 str vs a lvl 6 gnome with 16 str. Gnomes have 24 agi and the human has 21 agi

love the idea! cant wait for p2
Finally the str wool bracers are for a good use
If we really want to stretch rules, I'd also install a swingtimer for you and the enemies.
I like these crazy style of gameplay, I've been leveling sf warrior no armor no weapons
Bro, you can do the same mage quest in stormwind (if i'm not mistaken) and to fill up that vial in a pond, you don't even need to kill any mob❤
Consider the game downloaded, I remember watching you stream and you were like “shhhh this is what I’m doing” and shown it on your phone, been waiting on it to come out
seeing you blindly running in ignoring the mobs was painful lol
This is gonna be good! When this char dies you should try thrown hunter.
The mad lad is back
Took a whole different approach to disarming mage.
Love the vid, please take it to 60, unless it is more miserable than spooning out our eyeballs with a teaspoon
Another crazy adventure with this guy! ❤
You are clinically insane. Thanks for doing this so I dont have to.
Waiting for dead mines part sooo badly.
The one, who's not taking any critics to him, is the One, who gathers the party.

Staff of Westfall is so good that in Season of Mastery I took it on my Warrior as it was the best available weapon for that level bracket.

YEEE THE GOAT COMES BACK WITH A MASTERCLASS
I challenge you to level as a Hunter but you can only kill mobs controlling your pet with Eyes of the Beast.
I’ve seen someone on reddit try this challenge a while back and it really intrigued me. Glad to see you try it!
thats the beauty of the classic game design
Raw dogging in an airplane 🙅🏻♂️
Raw dogging WoW Hardcore Classic 🤗
I feel like Polymorph, interupt and should be ok...its like saying rogue is not a melee class because they use kick.
arcane would make more sense since you can use your mana pool as a shield
also, let yourself use the wand at least lmao
Warrior but you can't use abilities because its Pre Evolution of combat RuneScape
If you were a melee warlock you'd at least have firestones.
I did this self found like 1.5 years ago. Got to lvl 40 before i ran into some horde gaurds on the road
I think counterspell and sheep would have been fine. Sheep heals the target and counter spell just stops magic damage
Beberg is a menace, someone should stop him!
Pretty cool concept - was wondering did you ever get to continue the "Melee Hunter"-journey? found that one quite interesting so was hoping for an update?
Do rogue with no weapons… guys help me, we need to make him do this
Should do it as a warlock instead, they have firestone would be interesting
