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.

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

my man stayed stealth until character creation

Bro you are good asf at calling out and letting us now whats up. And your reaction is always funny too, keep up the good work xar.

Got me refreshing your channel all day every day Xaryu. Always happy when I see a new video posted. Thanks for the content dude.

One lesson we learned in HC makgora, never fight a mage

(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.

mage played that borderline perfect

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

Awesome duel, great breakdown

That mage was actually crazy.

That was the best duel I've ever seen.

the mage was fucking nuts with the instant blizzard reactions to both vanishes.

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.

Great duel, thanks for content.

Awsome commentary !!!

Best dual I’ve ever seen.

Best duel and comentating! This waz great!

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!

This was so fun. Thanks for the commentary too.

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.

Sweet duel, best I've seen.

Holy .. Great duel!

That was the only time I sat up properly to watch a WoW vid.

This is the best duel I've ever seen in classic.

Please jeep the hozi dying content coming!

The mage deserved that, one of the best performances I've ever seen

Hozi thought he had it with cringe resist pots. So glad he got bodied

love how every clip that one streamer is in he trashtalks and then dies

Ziqo talks about the magic resistance potion thou :)

I love watching high level duels like this.

That was the craziest duel ive seen in vanilla holy shit what a nailbiter

Great duel, great plays

Mage played it almost perfect

are we sure Xar and hozito were actually friends with how much xar was rooting for the mage? XD

This is the guy you need to worry about in real life…

This mage will be legend now. he defeated hozito

The johns 😂

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.

Mage was Prepare. Literally.

DAMN!

So as a mage if you drop a portal and click it before you die is that a way to save your character lol would it work?

what is the item used on hozi at 6:38?

What addon are they using that shows status effects fight above their heads

legendary mak gora

damn that was close though. GG Josito, much respect

Saved trinket for next char:D

Never used spider belt from what i see.

HOLY gigachad mage, the rogue had 10 times better gear too, the amount of life was ridiculous

Rogue used free action potion and gives blind😂

So nice to see the karma come back for the rogue for doing that shitty gear swap duel in the barrens.

Well, I'm simply not cut out for a makgora, these players are kinda nuts

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

So if you sit you get 100% crited when hited??

HIS BLUNDER was getting baited by chat and not resetting waiting for CDs for that 5 minutes

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

The satisfaction seeing hozi die after that priest bis video is indescribable. Karmas a B

what server is this on?

8:22 he could hide before trees................

Love the rogue/mage duels. Something pure about them.

3:45 can someone explane me the reason why to use Counterspell vs rog? in this case for example

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.

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.

hozito didnt pressure him enough. If he applied garrotes or ruptures or even gouged his blink once it would be GG in opener.

Xaryu needs an oscar tho

daym

❤

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.

you can UD racial out of the gnomish stun, pretty sure.

GO OUTSIDE 😂🤣👍🤣😂

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.

Hozi botched the opener three times, he would have won otherwise. It was pretty close though!

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.

Mages XD

Is that PRE from SOM? :) bis mage pvper

After seeing Hozi play like a real POS and bait people with gear swaps I really enjoyed seeing karma catch up to him.

Another Makgora, another mage win.

I could watch mage vs rogue all day.

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).

poly, poly, block, poly, poly, frostbolt, frostbolt - man this mage is playing really well...

Mage played 99% perfect. Anyway. Clearly the right guy won the duel :D

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

If you watch Ziqo's review of this duel, you realize Hozito actually made quite a few mistakes

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.

Probably not going to watch someone who lets his own chat bait him into salt

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.

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

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.

He should fix his nameplates😂 it shows the cc 3 times lol

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?

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.

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.

billed

after having so many victims where he changes his gear after duel accept , him dying like this feels like sex

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

Does the loser perma death?

did rouge actually made a mistake by not waiting 2-3 minutes more for vanish to come off cd ?

There should be a higher chance to resist rank 1 spells based on your level. Rank 1 frostbolt spam is absolute aids.

if this is the "best makgora" lil bro is not watching ziqo

he ruined it making excuses at the end
