You forgot to mention that Black Lotus was initially BoP, which was by far the most annoying thing about making flasks.

The section on stat weights on gear made me think a full on history of stats video would be super cool. What all the stats were in each expansion, exactly what they did, and how they were changed between patches / expansions and why, and when / if they were removed and why.

From season of mastery i learned how OP flask of titans was too. Being able to use a flask which gives 1200 hp when you only have 2600 hp is fking insane.

I just got into DnD with some friends. And today I learned that one of my favourite WoW content creators has a DnD Channel. Feels like finding the Holy Grail.

The souls in Torghast was one of the nicest touches/references to older material the dev team has utilized, imo. That was pretty damn cool to see in game.

Damn dude one of the things I love about your channel and this series specifically is things like the armor stat distributions. I’ve played this game since cata and honestly never thought about the chest and neck etc having so much more stats than the bracers and boots. You manage to learn something new even after all these years with this channel. Keep it up man!

Additional info: The "I attack the darkness!" audio was created by an improv comedy group called The Dead Alewives from Milwaukee, WI.

"I'm attacking the darkness" was popularised long before youtube machinima videos became a thing. It's from a sketch by Dead Alewives, and it was broadcast on the Dr. Demento radio show. We used to quote stuff from the sketch back when we were playing Eye of the Beholder on Amiga. Perhaps the Summoner machinima RE-popularised it, but it was well known among RPG gamers and geeks long before that.

"I attack the darkness" As a DM who ran a nigthstalker-type wendigo against fireball-loving sorcer and Mage in my group, that is a very sensible term.

9:14 This reminds me of my level 53 hardcore protection paladin, that died to King Mukla. I figured that, worst case, I could just run away, as I've always done; paladins tend to get away with things. Not King Mukla though, the guy hit for a fourth of my health bar despite my abundant armor and stamina. I still have the paladin as a ghost, may he rest in peace

Never played D&D before, but I'd attack the darkness just to be safe (and because fighting is fun)

Hey, Im gonna be that guy: the quest reward for the Mukla quest does have the icon of a ring but its a wrist equipment for mail classes. Correct me if this info is wrong.

your videos bring me joy in troubled times, thanks for every video you post :)) I started in tbc (mostly played on privat servers) because I didn't have the money for the sub^^

I really appreciate there is no clickbait in this video. Love it, thanks!

Remember the April Fools joke where they made a video showing off the new Bard class?

"I'm attacking the darkness" was from a sketch group called Dead Alewives. Dan Harmon was in it if i remember right

very cool. I wish professions were as unique as they were in Vanilla

The Summoner sketch came from a comedy group called the Dead Alewives, and Summoner wasn't the only thing that used the sketch. 8-Bit Theater did as well.

Now i want a full video on the history of flasks, and not just this 3 minutes teaser!

Until Trial of the Crusader, the vanilla int flask was still BIS for holy paladins if you were an alchemist because of the int/crit/mana regen interaction we had.

The Vanilla flasks also had a quirk in translation: in the German version, their names didn't translated to "flask of XY" but rather to "flask [filled] with XY". Those two are the same in English, but not in German. It was fixed in BC.

Imo it was, but flasks were very good boost in first 2 seasons on almost every expansion. Later they become quite weak. Same example as orc racial ability.

🖤 *Another Pretty AWESOME* video in the bag bro!¡!

The souls halls thing only make me even more on what could have been with shadowlands

Just a FYI the team that made the game Summoner did not create the audio clip, that was done by the Deal Ale Wives. Summoner just animated their characters and spliced in the audio.

Didn't know you had a DnD channel too! Heading over there now

Druid's Rebirth also required a reagent.

Was the Text at 6:45 a subliminal Message or an error in Editing ? :D

11:30 i think you meant kael'thas blood elf ^^ but i understand they are both KT so swapping them can happen =).

Re: 5- Message In A Bottle: (8:13) I WAS LITERALLY about to do this quest AS I got to this part of the video.

This video reminded me of the existence of that summoner machinima, my god that was a blast from the past. It's still actually funny, too, amazing!

Arguably Flask of distilled wisdom was more insane during classic, mainly because you could use it as a mana pot by removing it and reusing to regain mana mid fight without cooldown. Very expensive but doable.

Good God, Hiru, just how many channels do you have? I assume you just create content like a neversleeping erupting volcano. Good job.

11:31 "Including Kelthuzad's blood elves" I chuckled.

Didnt know u had a dnd channel :) gonna sub to it now.

I never played wow but I have always loved Hiru's video. I can't recommend folks who play wow but never played DnD to check out his DnD channel enough. It is really fun and informative even if you don't play :)

I recognized a fellow D&D DM the moment you mentioned "murder hobos" :D

'Attacking the darkness' is from an even older D&D meme from the 80's though.

Given how Hiru has a bunch of channels, I request a pathfinder channel

Wrong Kael hehehehehe Such a good vid, as usual

Hirumaredx, a thing I just noticed that you might add into next video. The Quillboar make a very distinct scream. I found this scream to originate from Return of the Jedi in the Rancor pit when the pig man is being eaten. XD Just a fun tidbit to add into one of your vids.

11:28 Kel'Thuzad's blood elves? lawl

I'm glad you mentioned King Mukla, but a sort of funny little thing was that he was able to be rooted. So, my level 46 druid literally stood there for 15 minutes and Entangling Roots'd him to death

9:30 actually bracers

WHAT you have a dnd channel? /sprints over there I’m new at the game, so to hear one of my fave KZfaqrs has a dedicated channel is so exciting!

But bard is a class in the game. You see it in Twilight highlands with the dwarf that aids you in the battle during a marriage using bard-related spells and effects.

Yeah the spellpower flask in Classic was like a 25% damage buff in full Naxx BiS, while the spellpower flask in Wrath was roughly a 4% damage buff in full ICC BiS. Incredibly overpowered, but also very hard to get (especially with a rampant botting issue) and insanely expensive to buy.

Hiru could you pls link the music u use in your videos, thank you 👍

If Hearthstone added Duel Links as it's new mode instead of Mercenaries, which channel would you put the videos about it in?

A Summoner clip!? Imo one of the best games ever made.

I actually randomly did this King Kong quest chain. I did it very recently while I was in booty bay on sunday

I knew it! It was definitely hiremaredx's voice in the D&D logs, I wasn't crazy!

2 days 73k 2.1k 100th. Alright. Time to watch some more stuff that I know nothing about.

I used the petrification potion in pvp that made me unkillable for 30 seconds which was funny as hell.

Ok no, but I want Bard now...a Kultiran Bard using a bagpipe or an accordion 🪗 A Night Elf with a Harp, stuff like that! I need this now, just trying to take down Zoval, with the Gnome bard playing bongos like crazy to then shoot a fireball! Can you imagine?! That would be hilarious to play!!!

11;30 Kel'thuzad's blood elves they do share many letters to be fair

I miss when items were unique and had unique stats, item power was not tied to item's ilvl as its now. That made some items quite memorable... hate how every item is generic boring stat stick right now

Im pretty sure that monkey has nothing to do with kingkong and is solely a reference to donkey kong

isnt Alonsus Faol who gave arthas his mace and not gavinrad the dire?

That’s crazy, I didn’t know they took 3 mana to make a flask.

Bard and artificer confirmed for new wow expansion

11:30 i think you meant Kael’Thas not Kel’Thuzad lol

in TBC, you didn’t have to go to Scholo or BWL to make flasks.

Ya I don’t miss having to log on to grind out mats for hours on end just to raid.

11.30 you made a mistake. It's kael'thus not kel'thuzzard

11:30 kel'thuzad bloodelves xD

Legit found ur d&d channel few days ago. Was confused as hell when I heard that voice takjing non wow stuff

Thanks

Are reagents even used for anything in the game anymore? I know the vendors are still in the game, but at this point, why?

Flask of free movement was the most op. 30sec immunity to stuns, slow, immobilizer.

Do you get a kiss from Princess Poobah after saving her, or does she blueball you?

wow that was convenient!

You should have mentioned that classic flasks where so powerful, that holy paladins where using them in wotlk...

What the heck is a tauren princess? Is there a tauren kingdom hidden somewhere?

He has a D&D channel

Holy lightbringer isnt Tirion?

Been playing WoW for almost 20 years and I have never even heard of a vanilla flask where can I find it and what does it do?

Maybe a shit take but World Buffs for melee were vastly superior to caster flasks

Maybe call the video something else cause I was confused thinking this was all about vanilla flasks

The Origin of "I attack the darkness" comes from a group called The Dead Alewives and definitely predates Machinima content.

Hi hirum 👋

2- DnD Reference in Borealis? What? Should not be "Boralus" ??

Flasks were op for casters, yet casters still did less DPS than warriors and rogues who lacked any kind of DPS flask, curious.

its not RE-AGENT, like AGENT bond. Its more like rEEgent XDDD

not true you dont need a group for mukla, I soloed it many times on different classes

It's pronounced like 'regent' mate, not 're-agent'.

no iyt wasnt

why you sound like you got walnuts in your cheeks some times?
