The infamous Pat video was shot during a bug that gave warriors an extra talent point, which allowed them to have both Mortal Strike and Death Wish (I believe this was patched in under 24 hours). If you look at the skill icons on his bars, he has both MS and Death Wish.

he’s even taken off his gear and pvp’ed naked lol probably missing a few cans in his six pack but dang son, he’s good

24

Yeah that’s probably true. I can say for the very brief period I too was a geared Tauren Warrior that it is basically accurate. It took a whole guild behind me and the best consumables in the game, but yeah. Warrior PVP! :slight_smile:

A guy that gets no love is Geforce, but he didn’t put out videos at the time.

I’m still a Laintime guy though, that bro could Warrior.

25

Dont forget Ming.

26

this isnt vanilla but its fun to watch

27

Totally agree with that. It has gotten way too commerical. Youtube is flooded with videos and those with best tumbnails are watched.

Still, I’m sure there will be some exceptional players

true, but fire spec was little to no real spec at the time.

31

Gforce was good no doubt, I guess wasn’t really remembered as the others due to content.

32

Posting videos does not make a person legendary, it just means they are showing off. Plenty of people do the same stuff all the time but just don’t care about others knowing about it.

So, no, I don’t want to see any of these people back. I don’t care one bit about what they do.

33

its not just a case of showing off, it’s also instructional. for example, they’d show you what their gear set up was, their trinkets, engineering junk, quest items and so on. and then you could watch how those things were used in combat, such as tidal charm, skull of impending doom, and so on.

34

Drakedog was always a favorite but some real legends were Mute and Kishkuman from Roguecraft. Not necessarily crazy good PvPer’s, just some funny guys.

Angwe is the only player worthy of my respect.

How has no one mentioned the Enhancement Shaman with Sulfuras, the hand of ragnaros? I’m speaking about Unbreakable of course.

38

enh shamans only waited on WF procs for those videos
 didn’t take much skill there and also, I went against him on my rogue a few times and won
 I wasn’t impressed.

I think there will be a much higher quality player emerge in todays twitch focused world, doing highlight reels just wont cut it.
What I liked best about vanilla though was that each server had its own “legendary players”, it was all a localised thing with many big fish in separate ponds.

Would be great to see such players return, but I kind of doubt they might. If they have such a legacy, they only stand to lose it by returning and falling short. To come back now would have to be for the pure joy of the game no matter how it pans out.

I’m always intrigued though, there’s such love for great players of the past, notably those remembered due to the content and videos they produced. Meanwhile streamers of today, whether they are the social type, informative/entertaining type, or the skilled player type, seem to be so universally hated. I’m not clear where the line really is when so much seems to be a difference in platform—be it running a website, producing youtube videos, or running a stream.

If old players return, it wouldn’t surprise me one bit to see them return as streamers and monetize a fanbase, especially since to pull off great things it may be (or be like) a full time job
