after the makgora baiting Hozi did with the gearswaps, he deserved to die 100% to someone that just outplays him :) happy to hear him say he invested a lot of time in this char, minutes before dying.
What do you expect? There is pretty much 0 chance to beat mage as melee in classic... that is the only chance. You just showed you have no idea and you never accept any Mak'Gora in your life🤡🤡. You should have respect just by the fact, he accepted it against the game
the offensive ice block at the end to apply pressure on Hozi was fucking perfect. that aint a blunder at all, that was asserting dominance and taking the upper hand
That mage was also insanely good. Like ziqo/xar level good. Not many mages in the game could have pulled off that. Lots of arm chair twitchful glads will say it was nothing but to play PERFECT and outplay for 20min straight is insane.
(baits people with BiS gear in mak'gora's and kills them) Then proceeds to make excuses when losing an even duel "I'm not trying to be toxic guys" I'm glad hozi lost.
This perfectly illustrates what is possible at the top 1%. I'm pushing 50 (I was mid-20s when Vanilla came out), and all I can do is watch this in awe. There were a couple of times where I knew what was coming, but for the most part, I just had to watch and wonder with my mouth wide open. Wow, I've played a rogue before (never that well), but I've never taken a mage to max level. I think I will!
That was an amazing duel. Hozito needed to hard reset after that last blind but of course it's hard to play that disciplined, especially when streaming. GGs
he should have started to use the shoot ability earlier. Would have been even closer, if not a win. In the first exchanges he was not using it, and he could have.
How to always catch a rogue vanish: macro a mouseover rank 1 blizzard > when casting spells spam this macro directly over them. If they vanish you will immediately cast blizzard and catch them. How to win rogue vs mage: get improved sprint to counter nova/slows
I think the reason is that they are both the ultimate glass cannons of 2 opposite extremes, with every other class in between. This is also part of the reason why classic is superior- retail doesn't have anything pure about it
This is not a mage favored duel. I remember Xar called it a 50-50 duel back in classic., and that was even when the duels were normal and pots weren't allowed. The fact that people can use fap on a two-minute cooldown definitely makes the duel rogue favored. The mage simply outplayed hozi in this duel.
IMO this is a rogue-favored duel. For one, FAP is more effective for a rogue than any potion is for a mage. Second, mage has no ice barrier yet, but rogue has pretty much all his major pvp tools already at this level.
No IB, but rogue (with prep) is lacking a lot of burst damage as well in 30% critdmg and cold blood. I think rogue v mage at the 35 bracket is still favored because of how powerful magic resist potion is early on, as well as hozito's ability to bandage to nearly full Crazy duel
It's mage favored for sure as you saw here. Poly trumps fap. They both played really well, the mage hit the better rng though and poly is the most broken spell in the game. Rank 1 frostbolt isn't far off.
@@Lloocii Poly only beats FAP if they use it far enough away. If the rogue is on top of the mage when using the FAP, you're NOT getting a poly off on a rogue. Poly just isn't gonna happen unless the mage has a rocket helmet ready. Can't tidal charm, can't grenade. And if a rogue is dying to r1 frostbolt, that means he blew all his CD's already, and he's gonna die to the mage whether they use r1 frostbolts or not at that point.
@christoesh8901 OK, so, tell me how you're going to stop a mage from getting far away. It's just not happening. I'm not saying a rogue can't win. It's an rng based game and heartbeat/bad rng add variance. 1 for 1, though a mage has every answer for a rogue. I've played both classes in vanilla, pservers, and classic for almost 20 years. It's the mage's to win. I am surprised, though, that he didn't have/use dust.
@@Lloocii When a mage blinks (the only way they're gonna get away when they have crippling poison on them), you have to use a CD. If they blink, you sprint to them and interrupt their sheep. If they frost nova, you vanish and sprint. Rogues have Blind at lvl 34, and they can prep to be able to use every CD twice. The main thing a rogue needs to do is use CD's to do damage to the mage. The mage uses their CD's defensively and as a reaction to what the rogue uses. But at lvl 34-35, the mage does not have Ice Barrier yet, and this gives rogues the advantage at this level. No Ice Barrier means that if the rogue uses his CD's right, he should win. Hozi lost here because he didn't use his CD's offensively (probably too used to playing Priest). He should've sprinted after that first mage Blink (or even a Vanish+Sprint if the mage already used frost nova) to KS the mage sooner and more uptime before Blink comes back. If the mage Blocks, Rogue Blinds then resets. Also he used FAP at a horrible time, when the mage was far away. Hozi is a great Priest, but he didn't play Rogue that well in this duel.
That was one of the worst "decked" rogues I have ever seen, full of resistance pots, and still lost that. The mage basically beat him 4 times in a row if it weren't for the OP resistances.
When you play for the crowd, you need to please the crowd. Specially if you want that 200$ reward. He just crumbled under spectators-demanding-spectacle pressure.
Hozi played it p good, but if he had prevented the final poly he woulda won. He shoulda maybe tried cheapshot tricks in sap, the garrote 5pt rupture before his sap breaks.
Great duel but people like that are the worst “I lost cause I don’t even play this game” meanwhile hes a beast and already had a 60 priest in HC bloodsail Buccaneers
I'm happy to see hozi die. If you wanna get ears from the other faction through mok'goras, awesome. But he was actually baiting members of his own faction, and that is pretty shitty.
sap > cheap (without breaking sap) > re-stealth > sap > cheap (without breaking sap) > gouge > death ray + evisc. If mage doesn't block that, it's over. GG, you now have 2 free blinds the mage can't get out of. fap + sprint at that momentum and mage can't do shit. Hozi is just not used to the matchup. This is without pointing out Hozi's actual mistakes in the duel as well. At 60, it's also rogue favored. You just can't deal with a rogue that knows how to keep up a momentum with imp sprint x2, vanish x2, blind x2, and that's just regular toolkit. Factor in spider belt, faps and whatnot, and rogue just can't lose. They will never sit a nova. This is why that in actual duels between 2 good people, that understand the game, only certain consumes are agreed upon (which is usually just health pots and mana pots).
Both players did amazingly well! Anybody who doesn't see this, is biased or hasn't played wow classic at all. I've seen some comments saying that classic is boring because it's simpler than retail. More complex doesn't mean better every time. Look at Dark Souls- that game is far simpler even than wow classic, and yet beloved by most people worldwide. In fact, I'd argue that the more attainable skill cap of classic, is what makes the game better than retail wow. I should add that imo, wotk had the perfect amount of complexity, at least pvp wise.
Wow retail PVP these days is full on bullshit. Every class has self healing. Spells barely do ANY damage. Everyone has 10 million HP. Every tiny fight becomes a boring slugfest like Destiny. yawn.
agreed but gouging blink is like the penultimate rogue pvp move vs mages not many can even do it. took me years of dueling and BGs on classic private servers to get it down
@@Genmurasaki idk maybe but i think a good mage, like the one in this video, isnt going to waste his block there if he gets gouged before blink goes off. He will just wait for the rogue to open again and insta blink since it wouldn't be on cooldown. You are right however that method does work on most average mage players though. Hitting gouge on the blink, blinking the mage into an incapacitate is game changing for the fight. They at that point HAVE to block as the rogue is running at them. By the time they block and unblock the rogue is in range to blind them immediately coming out of the block before they can cold snap. At this point ice block AND blink is down and the rogue can pretty much clap them in a stunlock.
y did he use spider belt, y didnt he swapped trinkets the time he got the stealth off after beign ktied all day to the net. y didnt he use his trinket on that last frost bite.
You don't get guaranteed crit from people sitting down anymore. At least not on Classic release, but maybe they de-fixed it. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong
true, mage played it really well.. but also, rogue played it very bad he couldve two shot him since the opener.. he has literally every resist pot you can have, he didnt get any damage the first 30 secs and instead of closing gap he was backing off like a puss
I disagree on this being a mage favored duel. In typical WSG/AB play where a rogue isn't in an isolated 1v1 environment with no outside influences and likely has 1 or several cooldown missing you could say it would be mage favored. But in a 6+ minute long duel with all cooldowns available and with multiple FAPs this is not a mage favored duel anymore. With all tools, potions, engi items, and consumables at your expense rogues are the king of 1v1 dueling, this has been well known for classic era for a while (world of roguecraft?), and although vanilla WoW is very rock paper scissors rogues have the most amount of winnable matchups over other classes and builds (SL locks are strong 1v1 too). There are several things hozito could have done to essentially guarantee a victory and he missed them. One gouged blink at the beginning at 0:20 -ish would have forced an early ice block burn, potentially allowing that death ray to connect afterward. Rocket helm at the end there when the mage was wanding with ice block down, low hp, and no mana and it would have been over for the mage. That being said the mage played really really well and against probably 99% of other mages hozito would likely have bodied them. I think hozito underestimated him, just my personal opinion judging by how hard he went in at the beginning and didn't save energy for gouge and didn't position himself to be able to even get attempt a gouge on that blink. Getting a gouge off there would have completely changed this fight.
Should of use Magic Dust, it has a much longer range than you think. You have to stand still to use it (He tried to use it while running at the mage while in range to cast it). He also had trinket up at the end and didn't use it. Good duel.
Xar I would love to see more New World content from you. Mage build, PvP, 1vsX, dps tests. The new PvP system. Outpost rush etc. etc. With so much new content and changes in the game, now it’s the best time for it.
Mage was badass. But plenty of bad mages out there too that would have gone down hard. Everyone seems to fear mages in HC, but I won't accept duels because that's not what I'm there for. And I suck at PvP so I'd definitely die, even if by all rights I should win.
" I suck at PvP so I'd definitely die, even if by all rights I should win" - what??? Hahah, that sounds really dumb. If you suck at pvp then by all rights you should LOSE. As you would, since you suck at pvp as stated by yourself...
My main back in vanilla was a rogue and I still remember how hard it was to win a duel against a mage in low level. You have to play it so perfectly ... and often that isn't enough. It's all depending on the mage, if he plays flawless there isn't really much you can do.
@commanderpp with the proper trinkets, pots, talents, and excellent rogue play, it's a 50/50. All a mage has to do is show up, though. So, no, an average rogue vs an average mage is not a 50/50. Not even close.
With health regen pot and resi pot the rogue took almost no damage from it, while mage was slowly running oom, reseting his mp5 counter, and it basically allow the rogue to stall for cds. But if you are going that route... then no 100% crit if mages dare to go for a drink ? Goes both ways.
Guess the mage is 200$ richer now. Though is that even allowed on twitch? I thought real money prizes are against TOS or does that only count for rng giveaways?
Why didn't he go for a full reset when he was able to get into stealth instead of charging in like that right away. Mage made the right call on that blizzard putting it in front of where the rogue was
after the makgora baiting Hozi did with the gearswaps, he deserved to die 100% to someone that just outplays him :) happy to hear him say he invested a lot of time in this char, minutes before dying.

100% agreed, that baiting is the lamest shit imaginable
the offensive ice block at the end to apply pressure on Hozi was fucking perfect. that aint a blunder at all, that was asserting dominance and taking the upper hand
He called the mana shield a blunder not the ice block
I believe it was the blink toward Hozi at the end that was called a blunder. The ice block at the end to block the iron grenade was masterful.
@@starwalk3r Yeah, the decision was either cancel mana shield to retain the mana and take the incap, or ice block.

Not sure why Hozi doesn't trinket the slow/nova at the end. If he connects with sprint and the mage being oom its over.
Cause it doesn’t remove it
rogue trinket doesn't remove roots or slows. charm, fear and poly only. the pvp trinkets remove different things on different classes on vanilla.
Thanks. I know the pvp trinkets are different but I thought the rogue trinket did slow. Should of wowheaded first lol. My bad!!

@commanderpp with the proper trinkets, pots, talents, and excellent rogue play, it's a 50/50. All a mage has to do is show up, though. So, no, an average rogue vs an average mage is not a 50/50. Not even close.
he ruined it making excuses at the end
Rogues win with gear, until BIS wizards win.
mages are too fucking op in classic, the rogue literally has no way to shorten the distance
Level 1 frost bolt to keep the slow up
There should be a higher chance to resist rank 1 spells based on your level. Rank 1 frostbolt spam is absolute aids.
That is why he had level 1 just to keep slowing up on him not for the damage
With health regen pot and resi pot the rogue took almost no damage from it, while mage was slowly running oom, reseting his mp5 counter, and it basically allow the rogue to stall for cds.
But if you are going that route... then no 100% crit if mages dare to go for a drink ? Goes both ways.
if this is the "best makgora" lil bro is not watching ziqo
The cheese makgora was more of a laugh, everyone else he's just blasted to death
Dude with all those pots etc u can use its not mage favor duel.
Guess the mage is 200$ richer now.
Though is that even allowed on twitch? I thought real money prizes are against TOS or does that only count for rng giveaways?
after having so many victims where he changes his gear after duel accept , him dying like this feels like sex
Too bad cdew wasn’t there to carry hozi like he did in BC to get rank 1
He should fix his nameplates😂 it shows the cc 3 times lol
Why didn't he go for a full reset when he was able to get into stealth instead of charging in like that right away. Mage made the right call on that blizzard putting it in front of where the rogue was
At some point the fun/entertainment factor has to weigh in. Was a 30 min duel already. :P
