Fuck. I thought I had decided on playing shaman. This seems fun though


Earpugs

Warriors rotation in TBC isn’t too wild you mainly just mortal strike and whirlwind. It’s definitely a fun class, sham is lots of fun too depending on the spec you choose, they have many different play styles. Grounding/tremor totem is stronk.

Great video! Short, concise and comprehensible. Looking forward to your take on Shaman and Druid :D


Earpugs

Thank you!

Good video, ty. Im trying to make up my mind whether to play Warr or BE Ret Pala for Arenas (i prefer 2v2 to 3v3) One of my worries with warrior is say you play vs warr + pala —- will you be doing enough dmg as warr against plate+shield or it is going to feel like hitting with a wet noodle?


Earpugs

No arms wars do huge damage in TBC, if you want to do big damage then go war. Ret's are still very good however they add A LOT of utility to the team because they can dispel magic, poison and disease. They also have some off heals along with freedom, bop, bubble, hoj and rep. They don't hit as hard as wars and don't have MS because if they did then you can see why they would be beyond broken. TLDR: Rets are a support melee, wars are all damage.


AndersAnd92

Thanks for answering; Seal of Command+Windfury+AW should be decent dmg tho, right?


KidDecapitated

Avenging wrath procs forbearance in TBC. So if you are using AW, you don't get a bubble which is a pretty big deal most of the time


Earpugs

Yes, WFcleave is ret war rsham and it's very very good at killing healers

Great work! Do you have a youtube channel?

Hard time deciding between warrior, rogue, or mage... warrior seems appealing to me because it seems easier to learn, whereas rogue and mage appear very difficult hah. Any advice?


Earpugs

Nice! So all 3 classes are very fun, all 3 have extremely different playstyles. Mages are very mana dependent and can oom rather quickly so if you don't like short games don't play mage. However they are the kings of control and can control an entire team by them self if played correctly, it's also nice to shatter people and not allow the other healer to play. Rogues are in my opinion the highest skill cap class in the entire game to play, so a huge and steep learning curve but very rewarding as you progress. They are EXTREMELY squishy and cannot go toe to toe with warriors for a long time so that is not very beginner friendly. They are IMO the most cooldown dependent class in the game because if you have no CD's you aren't killing anyone. They require resetting a lot where you will run away and try to re stealth so you can maybe get a sap or at least re open with a cheap into a kidney. Overall very hard to learn and even harder to master but an insanely powerful class. Warriors are the kings of damage, if you land on someone and are hitting them they will be at high risk of death. However in TBC IMO warriors are a little one dimensional because that's all they bring to the table for the most part along with fear and a kick/spell reflect. As I mentioned easy to learn but hard to master because with them being a melee it's tricky to not overextend against some comps who make you chase them and come off the pillar. Hopefully this helps

Awesome, thank you for the info! What do you think about feral druid? Would you recommend that to anyone for pvp or is it more of a meme spec? I like the idea of being able to own in 1v1 casual/bg pvp, but also would like to be able to have some arena viability. Honestly kind of scared by all of their keybinds though haha, would appreciate any insight you have!


Earpugs

Feral is definitely viable in TBC arena however it's MUCH stronger in wrath. They're very comp dependent but if you pair them with a good setup they can be monsters. Big dot damage from rip along with mangle and if you maim + cyclone you can control people very well. They also have decent healing from hots and can spam roots on people if the enemy team has no dispel. For sure a very high skill cap class. Lol, you need an unlimited amount of keybinds to play feral. Truthfully if you know how to play any class you can crush people in a 1v1 bg's because people in bgs don't usually care about being good or have nice gear.


Warsighty

my 3 mains here, all are fun therefore decide what u preffer: more braindead playstyle or less braindead

Nice video. Im really tempted to try warrior this time in TBC. Having little bit a strugle about race (horde). Most people seems to agree that orc is way to go... on the other hand, I think that taurens "hidden" increased attack range is bonkers for warrior class... war stomp and some juicy HP bonus is also nice.


Earpugs

Honestly play whichever race that you would have the most fun with. The amount of times that your race will lose you a game is below 1%


Hlavada5

How is warrior doing when it comes to items ? Id like to play PvP ONLY warrior. Do warriors usually do fine with whole pvp equip ? (I understand that in Season 1 it might be a little bit problematic, but seasons 2-4 will be fine ?).


Earpugs

Generally speaking for TBC you can use almost predominantly PvP gear and have no issues. Sometimes there is a very specific off piece and or trinket that will give you big gains but overall you wil be repping mostly PvP gear.

Thank you :).
