![Top 10 Rarest Mounts in WoW [Part 2]](/img/n.gif)
Here's one that doesn't get mentioned much: Druid's T1 healing set. Back in WotLK, Tranq had a talent that reduced its cooldown by 60% and threat by 100%. The Cenarion 8 piece bonus reduced Tranq's cooldown 50%. These were additive. Combine with Orb of Clarity, which could proc on any tick of Tranquility, and you had threatless, cooldownless, free mass AoE healing, you just had less spellpower than normal and couldn't move much.
But, of course, no one pays attention to the healer. I had people telling me I needed to manage my threat better when a freshly spawned mob noticed the 0 aggro spell and hit me first. Nobody really cared a Druid was pushing out massive AoE, to the entire group, instantly patching loose damage to the entire party at all times. Only once in hundreds of dungeons did a Rogue stop and ask "wait, how are you doing that?"
Wouldn't your Healing power be super low with a t1 8piece in wotlk? I guess the free constant tranq is really nice though
if we talk about Wotlk and resto druid gear i would have to at least give a honorable mention to the pre-nerf Ephemeral Snowflake...
it made lifebloom free and wild growth actually gave you mana and rejuvenation and regrowth cost almost nothing...
so you could literally just apply and reapply every HoT constantly and have a shit ton of overhealing happening constantly without it being a problem on mana...
and if you were in a raid you could have literally just made a macro to cast wild growth on cooldown and just cycle through everyone and keep applying a new HoT to each of them one after another
Lmao withered Jim killed me
the fact you knew about enti's quenched blade is incredible. i had one of those back in the day and trying to sell it was a nightmare, people thought i was trolling saying how broken it is lmfao
My brother and I farmed out these swords and went on a rampage in 10-19 BG’s rending everyone to death, it’s one of my best wow memories
I leveled my alt warrior using that blade and spent a good bit also on 10-19 and 20-29 brackets.
Oh hey, that's me in the Feral Druid clip fighting Ragnaros! :)
The Earthshaker for DK tanks. The proc was still working in BFA. It made visions ridiculously easy because it has a chance to proc on every mob hit. But stuns all the mobs. 20 mobs=20 x chance to proc. So it just kept them all stunned.
I feel like you need the honorable mention of the Dagger off Rend UBRS and the Mace off Kaelthas in The Eye. The dagger gives 3 seconds 100% crit. The mace makes chance on hit to restore focus, each fan is a separate hit. Rogue that was fortunate enough to acquire both had more aoe damage with Fan of Knives then any class, and could infinitely spam it.
God dang diamond flask is the whole reason I quit the priest I leveled for classic as an alt. GM asked me specifically to level a priest to heal for split runs, then every ZG raid when I was trying to gear it to do higher tier split runs, all the warriors would take all the healing loot for the flask set even if they never tanked. Eventually just said screw it, that character is still level 60 somewhere on whatever server it ended up on.
Demonology warlocks was actually even as insane if not more than affliction, due to Doom spawning a Wild Imp on each tick that did a crit.
Maining a warlock in Pandaria was something. Millions on health, green fire, insane trinkets. So much fun.
Great video! The Lei Shen trinket actually got nerfed for warlocks because of demo, not affliction. At the time, if the DoT "Doom" Crit, you'd spawn an imp. Since you could snapshot the DoT with 100% crit chance, you'd quickly have an imp army and be topping the meters.
That Asmon face killed me needed to rewatch if it's no video from him.
Soul Capacitor was hilarious on the trash before Kormrok in Hellfire Citadel in Warlords of Draenor. The trash would apply a debuff that would mind control a random player when it expires. If you timed your Soul Capacitor properly, you could charge it up and then jump to the mind controlled player, immediately killing them. I did this on my rogue with shadowstep.
I am missing the Guldan trinket from Legion for warriors. You did millions of damage in 2-3 seconds because all your trinket shots crit + it scaled with your mastery (enrage for fury or CS for arms warriors).
I fucking LOVED the Gavel of the First Arbiter. I swapped back to my main Unholy DK in Shadowlands after trying out Warlock for an expansion and I had to sit my guild down and explain to them why it was that I absolutely needed the first Gavel that dropped from Heroic - there was a neat interaction between the Gavel and Unholy's tier set where you'd have a 10% minion damage increase passively that would jump up to 40% if Soul Reaper was triggered. It was meant to help with execute phases, but the reality is that you could Soul Reaper the add that the Gavel spawns, immediately killing it and giving you an additional 30% damage during your opening burst window. The increase was high enough that it would take several minutes for others to catch up once your damage fell off.
Added comment and audio is much cleaner here than the first video. Well done again.
Nifflevar axe from archaeology was 72 to use but did more damage than 70 two handers and more damage than any lvl 80 one hand until ulduar. Basically broke the 70 pvp bracket.
Good stuff. There are some more items out there that deserves recognition too. During early BfA the twink community learned of some rare items that had no level requirement as well; a 2h weap, a plate boots, and some rings. Might have been more as well.
Funny thing about these items is that the fix Blizz put out was to pretty much make a new set of the same items, on a different ID, meaning that the ones people had gotten in that early Window remained wearable for the entirety of the expansion. SL's leveling reboot of course fixed the problem, but for a while warriors in lowbie BGs (prior to the xpon xpoff split) could one-shot even twinked out people through the insane Stat bonuses of these items. So that was a unique circumstance where the problem was never actually fixed.
These items aren't well-known though.
not to mention that Gavel was so broken in power value, it was basically BIS for BEARS. thats a Strength Weapon being the Best option for an Agility Tank.
it was so strong, it could have been competitive with S1 Dragonflight weapons before Bliz killed the fun and slapped a maximum level you could be before the effects were deactivated.
was really nice to level up with before the nerfs.
the reason why the arcano crystal was so strong is because secondary stats scaled much better than main stat back in legion. nowadays the arcano crystal wont be a strong competitor since main stat scales much higher again. no matter that the overall amount of stats was higher. in fact secondaries scaled so strong, that the base line arcano crystal was still BiS or atleast a strong alternative in the last tier in legion. being more than 100 ilvl lower than other trinkets
Its really nice of you to add footage of a feral druid raiding in classic
Great video, all of the info you included was very well organized. I can imagine it took a lot of effort to make this, but a part two with other items would be awesome. Good job man.
Thank you!
"effort"
I remember farming for that fishing pole.
Gavel is one of the most hillariously broken items they've added. Farming it was kind of ass, until S4 where you could just buy it after 3 weeks.
was fun using it on my Bear Druid.
How about the Light of Elune? I think I've saved it for close to 15 years on one of my alts!
The list only really covers equippable items, otherwise I'd be opening a whole new can of worms 😄
When I started playing wow, my very first character was a druid in wrath, 2010. I wasn't really rushing and really liked Kaluak's so I did the dailies and turned exalted at level 72 or so. As a Feral I was proud I have a purple weapon and felt superior with the amount of attack power it gave me in cat form. (then my friend told me it's shit once I hit level 80 :( )
Incidentally, the unobtainable Frostmourne Sword added in back in Wrath had no level requirement either.
another trinket that seems to be forgotten is the class trinket for paladins in hellfire citadel. as a prot paladin it triggered when your health dropped below a certain treshold (different for each ilvl trinket) when it procced it would heal you back upp to full, and the same amount it healed as damage full on aoe. it had an internal hidden cd that was easy to track and when it recet a 100% triggerchance. so as a tank you intentionally dropped all your defensive abilitys and intentionally baited a 1shot, trinket proccs heals u upp mirrors your entire health pool to all the mobs around you. with this trinket you where competing with your top dpsers in raids, and dungeons you just ran from boss to boss 1 shotting everything. firemage one also was stupid, fireblast also cast flamestrike, flamepatch from flamestrike stacks at the time.
classic wow, as a duel wield warrior, I ran duel hazno blades, Got them in UBRS, lv 55 required if i remember correctly, they had a built in proc. with frost oil on one, shadow oil on the other, along with fire enchant. 6 possible procs. . the damage output would have me doing more dps than raid geared rogues.
So many people only look at the cookie cutter gear types that everyone else uses without ever looking at the gear that best fits their play style.
Played a frost mage running SSC, where half the boss fight of hydros the boss was immune to frost damage and would still out damage fire mages because my character was geared towards my play style . .
Gear is only good if you know how to use it.
One of the best unique trinkets to ever exist imo came in legion called Draught of Souls. Before getting nerfed to the ground obviously. Although it provided a decent overall dps, it was the on use effect that really did some stupid stuff. Search up the video called A Tribute to Draught of Souls.
Thing about Convergence is that it was immdieitely nerfed for ret paladins before it got later nerfs for the other classes. It's what basically made Ret paladins viable during nighthold
gavel was so stronk it made bear druids grab it and not care about losing agility lmao
Should have added a special 2 item mention when you could pop 2 trinkets at once in classic and use both talisman of empherial power and zandalarian hero charm. Casters raped with it
Maybe since Cata is launching a Cata OP item vid? I know Souldrinker was super strong for Prot War and it then meant your HP converted too damage/healing. So stacking stam just meant more damage. As a tank this got silly and meant Last stand/rallying cry were now offensive CDs. Definitely made you a raid boss with some consistent damage/healing from constant procs of Souldrinker.
Yeah i was thinking of doing this, time to start researching :D
Wow. I'm surprised you didn't add the pre-nerf Invulnerable Mail. It was nerfed in patch 1.7 I think? So it wasn't in game very long before it was nerfed, but boy was it fun. The 5% chance to deflect attacks was actually a 5 second timer of physical invulnerability with NO cooldown. CZcams a vanilla PvP Elemental Shaman video named Sham, its pixelated as hell, but you can see it proc'ing like crazy, back to back to back. Such a crazy item.
the most overpower : in cataclysm , white items from the expansion alowed in low levels . you can be a pvp monster .
Yes! I remember doing this lol. Specifically it was the "High Powered Bolt Gun" and "Big Daddy Bomb", which were both engineering items. Their damage was fixed as if you were level 85 but they had no level requirement. The only requirement was that your engineering was high enough, so you could use them in low level battlegrounds. You could literally 1 shot entire groups of players if they were clumped up enough, such as respawn points in BGs. It was hilarious for the person doing it, but not so fun for the unsuspecting victims haha. I played a druid so I would just sit in stealth and catch people off guard.
I think not enough people were aware of it, even back then, which is probably why they didn't make the list here. Searching youtube, I could only find one video about it which is titled "WoW Engineering @ level 65 in battlegrounds". It shows a person doing exactly what I described.
You forgot the Vial of Felshadow Emulsion that allowed for bosses to be solo healed
I knew a guy that during Legion that made so many boomkins to get that upgraded arcanocrystal. good times haha
Unerring Vision of Lei Shen got nerfed because of Demonology spec, not Affliction. It was still BiS until the expansion ended for Demonology since you could apply Bane of Doom, which spawned Imps every 15s if the spell crit with a 60 second duration. Each imp generated more of your main resource which allowed you to stay in demon form longer and more often.
What about galakrond trinket from siege of org. The heroic version gave almost 50% permanent CD reduction on all your cooldowns
we farmed Entis sword =) made a lot of gold.. they fixed it fast when a lot of low lvl did a lot of dmg at duels xD
i'm surprised the trinket gul dan drops wasn't on here rogues in open world pvp would open burst everything down within a few seconds i saw max ilvl tanks get blown up before they could even get out of the first stun
Was sure you'd have Nifflevar Bearded Axe in here
First time I hear of it 😄, looks like it had a level requirement of 71 in cataclysm
Wow, haven't seen the arena map in a long time...
Forgot the 2h sword off of Deathwing. Unholy Blight from dks could proc it per application of their dots. This lead to DKs spawning over 100 tentacles and wiping entire raids in AV.
I have withered Jim as my battle pet.
I always thought it was The Sword of a Thousand Truths
In early MoP there was a wand I think that dropped off of the monkeys that had 3 extra zeroes at the end of either it’s damage number or stat number I don’t remember and it made you do like legion level damage it was crazy
Yeah I remember that, I belive it was only in the beta though which is why I didn't want to include it on the list
yea only in beta
great video! could you also do 10 overpowered items on classic only?
All of classic or vanilla only?
@@Warcraft.Lore. I don't know what's the difference between the two. You'll have to figure it out. Lol
@@joealnidaz5848”classic” now spans all the way from vanilla to cata. He was asking if you meant vanilla or vanilla + first 3 expansions.
@@warbear0424 yo thanks for clearing this out. Yes Vanilla is what I mean. I started playing wow during late BC to early WotLK. And several years ago I tried playing on vanilla private servers, Before classic came out. And I think I prefer vanilla out of all the expansions
I'm surprised there was no footage of Ogrekill the Paladin wielding the fishing pole. Guy was the most obnoxious, most decked out whale 39 twink in the entire US and he was absolutely shameless with that fishing pole + every consumable under the sun (including the frowned upon FAP/slammers/flash grenades etc). He played all day every day 1-shotting people left and right. I literally refused to queue if I knew he was online. He singlehandedly ruined the bracket for horde players while he was allowed to do it.
I looked around a lot for footage of him but couldn't find anything, if you have any I would love to see it
@@Warcraft.Lore. if you look up Ogrekill fishing pole the first youtube result should be him. He didn't post a lot of videos but all but 1 or 2 of the videos on his channel "Ogrekill" feature him going on fishing pole killing sprees.
@@gatexor thanks, yeah this is exaclty the stuff i was looking for!
if i was blizzard, i would have had those "special weapons" equip able by low level characters be restricted to the open world proper only. Once you enter PVP, the weapon requires you to leave to re-equip it.
You couldnt have added a picture of the item when you put the name and number?
video should be called top 10 trinkets in wow history and some obscure weird item that definently weren't overpowered
Fangs of the Father was the most broken item ever created
whats broken about the fishing and i dont mind cause i have it. you equip it it in the fishing window in the item slots and there you mgo... perma water breathing with out having to erquip it in a hand
I do like how most of these uber weapons are for melee classes.
Well ranged dont use weapons to attack so who else would they be for?
4 Out of 10 are good for Caster classes. I don't really get your point ?
And if you ignore the 2 items blizzard was just to doofus to remember level requirements, it's an even 50 50.
What about the Deathbringer’s will?
8:30
Danecook is such a 2009 character name.
Don't get me started on the 2010 "Ben Afflocks"
literally never got an arcano crystal.
obvious ai video
It’s spooky, because it sounds 80% authentic, but then the other 20% is horribly robotic.
I mean most CZcamsrs are just reading a wiki or "quoting" another CZcamsr. So I'm not sure low effort ai videos even matter
@@camilianSLCthey all blow?
who cares
Bro him talking about the vial of shadows is almost 1:1 of hirumaredx video from 4 years ago.
Look people taking a two handed weapon that one shots others in a low level bg deserves thier time being wasted lol.
Yeah I don't think anyone feels any remorse 😅
No.
They worked for the weapon.
The other one that was bind on equiped, yeah nef it, but the fishing pole that requires months to farm, no don't nerf. The some bith earned it
@@kamantariq2513 Considering its an exploit, they're lucky they didn't get banned for abusing it.
Shadowmourne
During legion when ilvl based pvp stat templates were a thing I grabbed the fishing pole on my 60 twink Results-thaurissan
suprised mind quickening gem isnt on the list
What about Martin Fury?
Figurine of the colossas. As a paladin tank I could pull hundreds of mobs and not die.
I forgot about that actually, 20 seconds of immortality farming dungeons, thanks for the reminder!
Well, I'm still farming the Arcanocrystal just to have it
How longs it been?
Strange there is no Dragonspine Trophy.
Where draught of souls?
Moral of the story. Blizzard hates fun
Thibk you forgot drest trink... literally activated one shot
I considered it, but I didn't want to end up with a top 10 trinkets list 😅and personally I considered vial of shadows to be stronger
Good work. Pre-nerf classic cata :D
Carrot on a Stick
Deserves an honorable mention for sure
The legendary ring in Hellfire citadell which lead to groups of arcane mages nuking mythic bosses in less than 15 seconds
Wasn’t that the arcane crystal talent ?
15:00 another instance of casuals ruining video games
The fishing pole isn't even close to being OP.
It's like saying Thunderfury is OP because it's so much better than everything else. Yeah, well you also gotta raid MC several times, be the one to get both bindings, gather the crafting mats, and then defeat a raid boss.
Those noobs should try and farm the fishing pole on their lvl19s if they think it's so OP lol
I"ve seen South Park I don't need this video
yeah imagine farming for over 17 weeks. finally obtaining, then people crying and it gets nerfed. imagine farming for 17 weeks almost getting exalted and notice it now has a level req. ooooof
Blizzard nerfed fun again
blizzard = small indie company
Yea, Rogues need nerfing.
Either the stealth, or stuns.
Soul cap legit broke the game in late HFC farm. The top speed kills are like 15 seconds or less on some of the end wing bosses from people just resetting trash and proccing it on the majority of the raid to stack it with the Legendary ring and instantly one tap Mythic bosses.
I would've put the SoO CDR trinkets on this over CoF personally though, those trinkets proccing a character sheet worth of stats and just flat out giving you 33% cdr on almost all of your cds, defensive & offensive was way stronger than what Convergence was doing.
I am like number 447
Greys aren't "bind on equip"... they don't bind at all.
the lei shen trinket was best on Demo warlocks because of Curse of Doom snapshotting, not affliction. Poorly researched video
Erhmm... uhhhh... diamond flask is not op........... stop it. Please. They nerf fun.
Great video!
Ai video lmfao
Not even Timerhold mace from rep which didn't have level requirement in Classic, and you could get rep by just joining raid and lying there dead while higher levels farmed for you ? Pathetic list.
Also Grey Items bind on equip ? ROFL no grey and white items don't bind at all unless they are unique, you even showed the item discription, it has no binding mentioned.,. 🤣
A trinket is not a stat-stick. Stat-sticks are weapons used only for their stats and not their inherent dps. Most commonly attributed to Hunters melee weapon in older WoW patches.
Arcanocrystal is a literal stat stick
*loud incorrect buzzer*
This is so pedantic. Everyone knows what he means.
Please more 'P' in your scripts, I can't not listen to the PUH everytime its said...
Yeah the fishing pole only requires a level one but you need the rep to get it and is BoP so you cant send to an alt. What a silly,non-sensical video. Do better
clearly you didnt even watch the video, you were able to grind it out on a low level character
Mario Gallego let me give you some advice. Don't start typing unless you know what you're talking about. Don't share any opinion or information unless you're absolutely sure what you're about to type is valid and contributes to a conversation.
People would camp their level ones a Kuluak and fish the weekly with them.
It still fucks
