Warlock then : Warlock
Warlock now : Edgy mage

Used to gamble with my guild with my ritual of doom. Everyone would throw in like 10-20 gold, and whoever died, won.

Fun fact. The old eyes of the beast use to make it so that if you got a pet far enough from the hunter it would lose its tag as a hunter pet. So you could tame say like a level 5 boar in starter zone, eyes of the beast it, and then use it to grief low levels. They wouldn't see it as your pet, and you could mimic it moving around just like a mob would. Attacking it however would cause them to flag pvp and your pet in later xpacs like tbc and wotlk much much stronger because they still got your stat scaling so it was easy to kill them after that. Personally I think this might be why the original data was "lost".

I haven't played retail in a long time and basically my reaction to every one of these is: "wtf, they took that out?!"

Popping perception felt like activating sharingan. Lol.

Detect magic is used in PvP a lot especially against locks with Felhunters as it adds a dispel on the enemy so if the lock uses his pet dispel, it will remove the detect magic instead of polymorph..

I did like how mana was relevant back then. Raiding as a mage in BC, I remember fucking up my evocation on a fight (had to move or was stunned) and being OOM for a LONG time. It was my fault and I payed the price. A good mechanic

Sentry Totem also pinged your minimap when it received damage.

I will be honest: i really liked having to level class abilities if it made sense, because it gave realism and coherence to the world. You pick locks, do you? Well you better start learning if you want to pick effing titan locks later on!
And being able to make different poisons was amazing. You could even split them between daggers, so either go full dmg or go life leach/slow for pvp, etc! I loved this! That also really gave something to the feel of the class.
And i also loved useless spells. Same reason, not everything in the world has to be super powerful and useful in fights, what world works like that? Flavour items, flavour spells, flavour npcs, that‘s what gave wow the feeling that differentiated it from other mmo‘s. And now look at it. There are many things i would change in current retail.

I used to use my sentry totem to scout in pvp. It's especially useful for Capture the flag. You can warn your group about incoming players without having to cast farsight. The instantaneous switch allowed you to watch another location as well as your own freely. It's basically the closest the game came to split screen viewing. It was still highly situational but it had its use and I was sad to see it go.

"Even in a fantasy world you shouldn't be able to track mailboxes."ű


Tell that to my ranger who has mailboxes as Favored Enemy!

Perception was always my favourite racial in bc. I played a human warlock, and perception stacked with paranoia to give you super stealth detection. It was niche, but niche is important.

Eyes of the Beast sounds like the most fun ability a hunter could have. What a goddamn shame they removed it.

Divine Intervention was the best ability put into the game, I miss it so much.

3rd Raikage is the type of guy who cant be defeated up until you discover tech.
Gengetsu is the type of guy who cant be defeated if you dont read guides and dont have tools to counter his.
Gaaras dad is a bum.
Mu is literal oneshot guy, you cant defend against him, only dodge and he can literally fly and duplicate and turn invisible, if you dont have means to get around places with flying or extra tendrils like Naruto, dont have detection and one hit KO you have no chance of beating him unless you have some hax or very powerful ranged attacks.

Lol I actually love how he shits on the totem bit then says it’s amazing once he learns he can take group selfies

The removal of scare beast and turn undead/evil were probably one of the earliest and biggest changes that were supposed to be based on "practicality" that really just contributed to the downward slide of WOW into it's current state of aoe damage spam and instant gratification with no risk even in dungeons, while removing depth of play and class fantasy world building.

Blizzard doesn't like to design fights around one ability but has no issue designing fights around addons that ruined the game more than any feature or change they ever introduced or removed.

I loved Shattering Throw on Warriors. Mages and Paladins used to get sooo angry when they'd bubble/iceblock and you just shattering throw them out of it.
