As a Mage, I saw the title and IMMEDIATLEY had a smug look on my face. We were straight up blessed with abilities so having a small chunk of this list is no surprise. Plus you knew number 1 was going to be teleport/portal without any doubt at all...and by a mile too.

Kind of expected Wild Charge to be on here. It's a different ability for each druid form

WoD Aspect of the Fox deserves to be here. Raid wide buff that allowed everyone to cast while moving, it was insane. The original Raise Ally was also very flavorful, bringing someone back as a Ghoul. Thunderstorm and similar abilities are also noteworthy for their meme potential in wiping Eye of the Storm groups as well as defending Thunderbluff.

Druid > Dreamwalk > Hyjal Portal > Capital City portal right in front of the lodge.

fun fact - Underwater breathing from locks was actually REALLY good in BFA - specifically in the Shrine of the Storm M+. that dungeon has a group of mobs who are littered along a bridge between Lord Stormsong and Vol'zith, who will cast a debuff that is essentially a globe of water engulfing your head that does ticking damage. If a Warlock casts Underwater breathing on the person with that debuff however, they won't take damage because they wont be drowning as, well... they can breath. made those mobs so much easier to bring a warlock along with you on a key

Great video bud. You've really put in some work these last few vids, both WoW and the PTCG. I'm impressed. Been watching your vids for years and I gotta say this last year has been your best improvement. Keep up the good work.

22:26 "If you're a protection paladin in PCP"

Rogue's Shroud and Vanish are great too 😮

I remember saving a raid member from LK's Shadow Trap with Leap of Faith midair, it was quite a catch

Warlock`s unending breath was really usefull in BFA. One of the curses in on of the dungeon in M+ make players suffer from drowning: first you losing your breath timer then you start taking damage. It still can be cleaned but dispell cost mana, and warlock`s spell is close to count 'free". You also can not swap any gear in M+ so you can not use fishing rods, but still can use someking like alchemy potions.

any heroic leapers?

"ca-nine out of ten" is a pun worth living for

Great video! And about my few cents - you mentioned earth elemental for shamans who get into pickle as it would be a short temorarry tank. That is very fair and i guess on this list would not appear the Inferno summon from Warlock. But i just wanted to mention it as Warlock gameplay in early wow was very often about Juggle your Health to get it back from enemy, so a wrong pull that made your pet killed while you burned your HP for mana often lead to death. However in such situations i loved to use inferno that stunned, tanked and burned all enemies around, while i could get back on my feet and after combat is done i would go back to normal pet once more.

Dang. I was hoping to see the Rogue's Grappling Hook. It gives a blink-like movement but is unhindered by ledges unless you target behind a small hill. It is good for escaping as it can allow the rogue to climb a ledge where by normal means isn't possible. Good for closing the gap between the player and their target. And can also negate fall damage. I've jumped down from the Seat of the Aspects numerous times, used my hook and all damage is null. There are talents that extends the range and I believe lowers the CD and add charges.

To add to Death Gate and Zen Pilgrimage: Dream Walk from Druids works the same, it places you where you started on recast. Meaning it's a great tool if somebody forgot to reset a dungeon, or you need to summon a raidmember who was late and don't have a warlock. Just cast it twice and end up in front of the raid and its summonstone :)

I know it's gonna be a good day when I get to start with Hiru and DuelLogs ❤ you're the best man

This was fun to watch and listen to.

As a Pally, I've used the bubble far more often to avoid dying after falling off of stuff or just to take shortcuts by jumping off of things and bubbling right before landing (if you have Engineering and use the Tinker Kit on your Cloak you can actually do very good exploration in zones where flying isn't unlocked from the start by climbing the tallest possible thing and gliding off of it until the timer runs out, then just fall and bubble to go back and do it again in another direction :D). In combat, even as a Tank, you still have mechanisms to heal and sustain yourself so having to use the Bubble usually means something has gone terribly wrong and you're likely to die anyway if you can't disengage (the bubble and Divine Steed work together to let you do that). I don't really PvP, so I assume most folks use it there far more often with all the CCs going on.

4:00 insert Zerith Mortis waterwalking meme

2:20 Not sure if that was an intentional reference, but if it was I got it :)

How is feign death not on this list! It’s saved me thousands of gold and deaths!

Zen pilgrimage and death gate are actually less useful if you do the legion campaign as the only advantage they have over a dalaran hearthstone is cooldown. Outside of that if you are using the dalaran hearthstone it takes you to dalaran immediately cutting down a load screen.

fun fact, in the trial of valor raid. Some of the adds at the start have an ability called "horror of the drowned" which essentially acts as running out of breath. But on land, you could circumvent this by having a warlock give the entire raid unending breath

As someone playing Classic Cata, I have to mention Divine Intervention, because that is when DI was removed.

also a druids wild charge in travel mode can make you do a small jump, so you can also cancel out fall damage if timed well

21:46 - In The War Within, Frost/UH Death Knights can have a similar ability through the Rider of the Apocalypse hero spec (replaces Death's Advance), and I for one can't wait for it.

I like setting up portals in lfr runs ontop of feasts or soulstone wells lol

Nice editing... previous video's title at the start

you mentioned warlock healthstones, which i would personally class as utility because they are "emergency" heals with a little cooldown, basically free health pots, but then didn't list them

I agree that portals are number one. But personally, my favorite spell is leap of faith. I like to watch people who aren’t aware they’re about to get hit by a knock off the edge, mechanic and grip after they get blasted makes me look like a hero

For rogues, I would argue that "Distract" is a much better utility option than Lock pick. Distract is still used in stuff today. You can use it to stop mobs that are patrolling, break certain mobs that are spawning ect...

last time i leveled a rogue through retail i completely forgot i had lockpicking

With Dreamwalk you can also use it to teleport out of instances. So for example if you're doing a WoD Raids for transmog. After last boss you can just dreamwalk out and dreamwalk again to get teleported out of the raid. Dratically decreasing the travel time. Zen Pilgrimage works the same, but on 1 min cd it's not as powerful

I do miss the crit buff spell mages had, focus magic i think it was called, could put it on a class that tends to crit often and in return increase your chance to crit when they get a crit.

Why no druid wild charge? Leap back in boomkin, leap behind enemy in cat, reverse leap of faith in normal/fly form, long jump in stag form, underwater "sprint" in seal form. I can't even count how many times it saved me form fire in raids and how many "impossible unless DH" jumps I did outdoors. Also (if timed right) you can fall from a cliff and take no dmg, kinda like with blink, but you stay in your ground mount form. It's insanely useful if done right. Also on levitate - you didn't mention the pseudo-flying it grants - if you sprint off of a tall cliff/dismount mid-flight and then levitate you can fly in a straight line at a declining angle for long distances in no-mount zones. One of the better ones is getting to the dinosaur island in Pandaria or straight up floating from one end of the Legion map to the other (before you get flying there).

Not sure if anyone'll get it but, is the debuff on Demon Gateway a sort of hard once per turn or is it like a soft once per turn?

I don't play WoW atm, but my favourite is by far Ghost Wolf. It is simple, but it is so useful that I can hardly play any other class since going without it makes me feel super slow and clunky.

Is there a video that goes over all defensive abilities for arena? I'm currently at 1795 in 2s and I don't know the class defensive

Watching this while playing. I literally blinked at the same time he announced Blink.

You were on fire with the puns this video

With Dreamwalk the portals are niche but good for farming old content, Duskwood Portal is good for both Zul'Gurub and Kara, and Hyjal is near Firelands, all have mounts (and the old classic era sets got re-added to ZG), and Druids orderhall is right outside the Emerald Nightmare if you're farming the Xavius shoulders. So yeah, out of the way but at least they have a use.

1:44 truly groundbreaking stuff

Nice new channel logo

Divine shield is silently nerfed in Dragonflight raids post Vault of Incarnates. The text says immunity to ALL damage and harmful effects. But for some reason every other debuff after that raid still goes through. A massive fail on Blizzards part not understanding what the word ALL means.

Have we even crafted seaforium since cataclysm?

I'm late, but didn't shamans also have underwater breathing (#19)?

UHmmm Bobble heartstone was fixed by them giving Heartstone a 10seconds cast time instead of 8 seconds. And it have actually been like this since last Vanilla. (Heck Goraks Guide to Azeroth have one episode were they meme on this)

- Mechagnomes of any class can lockpick too with a racial - Shamans used to give underwater breathing too, but then it was given exclusively to warlocks at some point

Good video but I think more spells should have been featured such as: Rogue's sprint, Monk roll, Angelic feather, Feign death, warlock healthstone, all of druid forms, heroic leap, grappling hook

No hunters :( feign death has saved me repair costs multiple times lol

Mages slow fall is better than priests levitate due to one place Arathi Basin. I regularly needed multiple stacks for AB weekend.

My only experience with Leap of Faith are people being pulled close to fatal edges while they're walking.

I knew Mage Portals was going to be Number 1. It defines the class. If for some reason Blizz ever removed those 2 abilities, I could easily see a mass exodus of Mage mains. They are necessary to counter the atrocious Mage base move speed.

As a druid, where is travel form and its variants? Fast running outside in combat, fast swimming and water breathing, instant flying(that can interact with objects without "dismounting"), all on a single button?

the rogues vanish is 100% one of the strongest class utility spells in classic it could save you from any spell with the perfect timing in pvp, It can avoid raid mechanics in pve and in the open world let rogues do things solo other classes just couldn't do.

I'm going to be honest as somebody who played this year when it first came out and hated it. I've played it a couple of times since then, like after 14 years of not playing and I actually don't mind it. Too bad some of the quests are annoying. But you know if you remember that you have that seahorse the whole time, it's not that bad

Seraform? Sea for ium

“If you’re a Protection Paladin in PCP” o.o

The Spectral Lupin glyph is missing for the ghost wolf but not really important. Turns you into a spectral Zereth Mortis wolf.

I got Atiesh back in classic, about every third raid i'd drop a kara portal, so it wasn't constant but it'd catch people. Then TBC came and i got bothered with kara portals all the time!

I like how no warrior is on this list, we always get the shit end

10:30 you can cast soul stone on a dead person in retail at least since SL

Geniuenly amazed ring of peace isn't on here as it's probably the most versatile ability in the entire game

Didn’t druids have teleports to moonglade? Is that still a thing? Just for no 17

i was expecting symbiosis tbh :D technically it's a ultility?

Sigils from Dh will change how the tanks should play in wow atm. And make dps and healers dont need to do anything in m+

Kinda wild to not see shroud of concealment here to be honest.

I hate leap of faith, because it seems like it’s almost always used in a trolling way. Was running a timewalking dungeon earlier on my Druid tank and running to the next trash pack in cat form, and the priest troll-gripped me back just to be an ahole.

What about shroud?

I am shocked that Stealth is not on this list.

Rescue doesn't cancel your casts like leap of faith does so for me rescue>leap of faith

I came into this thinking either teleport or the old death knight shadow of death would be the top, then you weren't including abilities like shadow of death and I figured teleport had to be number 1 then

DH glide ability is better than any glider because it is usable everywhere.

Btw, rescue is much better as it gives a shield to both the rescued and the rescuer

Aa both a mage and warlock player, while having portals is abig convenience, I would argue the summoning stone is a far better utility in group content like dungeons and raids, and it's not even close

Where is deathgrip charge?

How did mass dispel not make it 😢

*confused warrior stare* Me just smash things! Zug

Might troll and try to convince newer players the Ancient Portal will get them to the new start zone for WW

No blood lust?

Little fun lore the mana buns and pudding are bland and soupy

i have seen Leap of Faith beeing used for annoying and killing other party members more than for helping them 😅

I am almost certain this is the same voice as TheManaLogs and TheDuelLogs. Even the character font seems similar. 🤔

Windfury totem from classic era

The Warrior have nothing 😢

You can always tell how casual of a player he is based on the way he ranks things. Not that it's an insult, just a very funny observation. Less casual players will go out of their way to cheat to have permanent, slow fall cups because of how valuable they can be

I killed a lot of people during my time in WotLK with path of frost

Homie not a single person in this game uses mount equipment to waterwalk your fried

hello hiru

Mages all the way 😁

IF you havent done the legion campain as a dk you end up in the eastern plague lands, from there you can enter naxx when you made the hole old naxx q line, i run naxx with one of my dks semi regular because i still collect stuff for the t3 sets and the frost resistens transmog

What, no stealth?!? Can afk without getting killed, can get out a fighting zone when "kill 8 boars" quest is done without pulling more creatures, can vanish during a wipe and skip the death and run time and so on.

Bring up warlock water breathing but not shaman water breathing, which also in older versions required a reagent to cast making it even more annoying. I've been casting path of frost for what, 16 years now? Not gonna forget to turn it on instead of using water strider mount equipment. It doesnt dismount you to cast it and follows just the global CD + 1 rune, I usually spam it as I'm running around doing stuff. You also didnt mention the utility in dungeons where you fall into water pits. Jump first, turn on path of frost before anyone else hits the water and enjoy the laughs as they enter the AoE. Most people dont dive down so they just plummet to their doom. The Eastern Plaguelands Acherus is leagues better for alliance player DKs, sure it doesnt have a portal but it allows very quick access to the northern regions of Eastern Kingdoms. Makes farming Scholo/strat/scarlet waaay quicker. I just set my normal hearthstone to wotlk Dalaran and then you get a legion Dalaran hearthstone doing the questline so having the dalaran portal in Acherus is kind of worthless, its like a 1 minute flight. Yes theres the naxx portal to EP now if you do that whole quest chain but I'm sure a lot of people havent done it. Goblin Glider Kit cant be used in some instances also you have to physically use the item, DH and dracthyr glide are superior in every way. DK combat res doesnt NEED to be done in combat, you just need 40 runic power. If you end the fight with excess runic power, just click on it and click who you want to revive, can also be used on people who have released spirit.

*Something cool from Classic:* exists *Blizzard:* Removed in Cataclysm

Dracthyre are just mages with wings huh?

World of Magecraft 🧙‍♂️ 🕳️

Mana isn’t an issue in the modern game? Then explain my rsham!!!

imo rescue is a lot better than leap of faith

Lust 💯 should have been number 1. As an m+ player not having a lust can easily mean not timing a key. Portals are a great QOL but nowhere near as good

Haven’t played since early bfa, Zandalar trolls can be paladins!? Seems complete ba
