I was given the Essence of Pure flame by my raid leader way back in Vanilla days. At the time I was a human Paladin and I had to be ultra careful with my DKP as there were a good few of us, and we had a bidding system. Highest bid of DKP wins the item. Naturally, no one at all wanted to spend even the base price of DKP on this Item, and it would often just be sharded or, as what happened to me, just given away. My raid leader picked a random Paladin and gifted the item. I didn't know what to do with at first, as even then I thought it pretty damn useless until I started thinking. Back then, retribution aura for the paladin used to reflect damage back at the attacker on hit. There were also a good few items out there that did a similar thing. Off the top of my head there was a ring from Blackrock Depths, and a engineering shield. So, I decided that I was going to go back to all them dungeons with the intent of collecting every single piece of damage reflection gear I could. I even switched out my profession for Engineering so I could get that shield. In the end and after a good few months of collecting, I managed to get a good amount of this gear for my pala and decided to try it out in the battlegrounds. I of course took consecrated ground as well as any talents to boost my damage reflection, and I had such fun just standing and healing myself whilst rogues and hunters just murdered themselves on me without me even really doing much in the way of fighting back. So, was the item bad? yes I would say it was bad, as it took me a lot of work, some luck and me being a Paladin to even get any use out of it. But I still had a lot of fun using it.

Essence of the Pure Flame is DOPE for AoE farming as a Paladin. Getting a bunch of "when struck" items comboed with ret aura, seal of wisdom, and healing allowed you to stay holy while farming gold.

Thorium Shield Spike too.

Skullforge was insanely op against rogues, especially if you were a class without dots(Paladins). What's more is that the heal from the proc or the buff increased by a very good amount based on your +heal. Which was crazy OP when paladins used it with their tier gear against rogues who would try to restealth sap and try to bandage up only to come out of stealth and have their bandage interrupted, and as long as the dot was up the paladin would heal for nearly 1/4th of his hp while being cc'd because nearly all of their tier gear has +heal or spell power. It was a nightmare for rogues because you just couldn't stealth.

Was this changed in a patch or private server? Had this weapon for pvp against rogues and druids as paladin for quite some time but would switch as soon as rng apply the debuff. Can't say that this thing did ever more than 2 dmg or heal. Good never tryed it with gear that boosted shadowdps simply because it was reserved and or expensive.

@@Ras548 I only ever got the lawbringer set back in vanilla, so I used it along with skullforge reaver and force reactive disk almost everywhere outside raids and dungeons. It used to heal me 11 health per tick with that gear. I remember it that well because I've seen that number way too many times while playing the game than I needed to. When I switched to holy gear it would rise up significantly, around 40-50 heal per tick(with mc gear and little bit of bwl). The random spell damage items i got around ZG and AQ also boosted the spell damage tick but not that noticeably as I didn't really have that high spell damage gear, so I can confirm this as well that spell damage did affect the shadow tick damage. Not sure if its present on private servers as I stopped playing on them pretty soon as I started raiding for shady reasons. Would love to try it out again but classic is coming soon anyway. Please give feedback if this works on pservers.

Essence of the Pure Flame is invalueable for every aoe tanking set. Typically one of the best tanking items when not tanking a raid boss (especially in instances). Make yourselves a good thorns tanking set (cloak of flames, razor gauntlets, nagelring, force reactive disk+ Ramstein trinket + the helmet from gnomeregan + eventually that thunderfury) and you can even top those damage meters in any dungeon. Force reactive disk is a bit costly and will break almost every second dungeon though. Cheap warriors will use ramsteins shield or drillborer disk instead. Throw in some Crystal Spire for maximum efficiency. Especially useful with elemental or undead invasions.

Hi Mad! I greatly enjoy your videos and I like how you talk about old content. It brings me to my late vanilla and early BC days. Your videos are just so fun to watch on a calm and lazy Saturday morning. Keep it up!

Something you missed with the Lion Horn is that, flavor-wise, the idea is that everyone in the group has one. The purpose is that everyone uses as many of them as possible. That way you can potentially keep the tank's armor increased by up to 750 all the time.

I remember farming for two Skullforged Reavers on my warrior back in the day just because they sheathed on the back. But these days I miss the option to even dual wield one handed weapons on my warrior, so freaking tired of all weapons being on my back.... One thing that has really been lost over the years with WoW is the uniqueness of your own character. Sure we have transmog which is great and one of the main reasons why I still play the game. But when it comes to play style and gear, everything just uses the same stuff.

AFAIK there was a rogue on my server who used Skullforge Reavers with shadow damage gear and just melted people in PvP. That thing gives me PTSD.

I'm gonna admit something I've never admitted before. I started playing WoW around Christmas of ... 2008? Right after WotLK launched. I started on free trial after seeing the Mr. T "Night Elf Mohawk" commercial. I rolled Night Elf Warrior, and went on my way. I didn't really understand how huge the game was, I think it was great starting as Nelf because I went through to Darn and thought wow, this game is really big, and look at this city! Then I got over to Darkshore (RIP Auberdine), and started looking at the map... And I slowly realized that I had only seen a small island. It was amazing, that realization hitting me. Anyway, I had no idea what I was doing, I didn't know about all the websites and guides, and how to focus my talents or skills or stats... I just grabbed whatever looked like the numbers were bigger. I got to around level 25-28 maybe, and I had met like one person to play and quest with. She was around level 32 I think. We decided to go to Gnomeregan. We thought we'd 2-man it as far as we could go. We actually ended up beating the slime boss and getting through a good portion of it as I recall. Anyway, regardless of whether it was that first run or a second run with more people, it was very early because Hydrocane dropped. I got it and was like, wow, this is higher DPS than what I have now, and it's blue! So off I went as a Nelf Warrior noob with Hydrocane equipped. I remember questing and someone stopped and inspected me and laughed. He told me to switch it out ASAP. I asked him why and argued my point about it having more DPS than my previous weapon, etc. He explained a little bit to me and gave me a couple of websites to read about the game and Warriors. Probably the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to me in the game. I played from just after WotLK launch to just before BFA, with a short hiatus from Timeless Isle through the end of WoD. I miss it sometimes, my characters and everything, but I'm done. Free at last. Long live Fourthirteen, Night Elf Warrior, US-Stormrage and my alt army in . And my Horde alts, too...

I Remember getting kicked from my first raiding guild back in Vanilla, because i needed on Vendorstrike as a hunter. Don't judge.. i was a very young lad back then :(

You know something sad?... reputation items that required exalted in BFA are way useless than these, when you hit exalted wtf are you going to do with a 355ilvl piece of gear when you are already 370+... brilliant blizzard. Sometimes I think blizzard is only keeping this game alive because of the money they make out of people's feeling of what this game used to be.

They were pretty useful for a short period of time. This has pretty much been the case for a few expansions now with rep gear

Same thing happened in TBC. The vendor epics attached to reps were KZ/T4 equivalent. By the time I hit exalted we were in SSC. Even running heroics to get alts and new guildies attuned. Yet some of the season 1 PvP rewards were massive upgrades depending on your class. I used them from KZ into Battle for Hyjal.

@@vitorsantos3971 yes but... why?

the elder scrolls theme...

Love the old school Final Fantasy music in the background.

Thunderstrike was a weapon that is fairly fondly remembered in our guild. There was a player that ahd somehow managed to make it work as the proc was triggered very often, causing a lot of cleave damage among groups of enemies. It made trash clearing a lot more efficient0

Anyone who dislikes MadSeason vids should be exiled from society

I don't undestand the argument about faction armors. Why wouldn't shaman armor drop for the alliance and vice versa? It's the same f*** raid. Same enemies, same bosses. It wouldn't make sense for the world to suddenly realize it is being raided by a specific faction. Meta gamers - I hate you so much. You take depth and immersion out of games for the sake of some stupid abstract mechanics.

Well said.

ALWAYS look forward to your videos and never disappointed! Happy New Year!

Thanks for the great vids! Can’t wait for 2019 uploads!

Rarely do I click a video this fast. Really like this series.

That Path of Exile music threw me wayyy off! Even though I play it all the time, when combined with WoW, I was sitting here "wait, WHAT ZONE IS THAT FROM?!" VERY nice use sir. Fits beautifully.

Damn I quit wow a couple of months ago but nostalgia just hits me so hard after watching your videos. I miss my transmog runs for all those unique items.

I don’t understand why/how anyone can ever dislike your videos! Keep up the fantastic content buddy!

hats off to the choice of music; PoE, TES, Chrono Trigger, FF4 All great renditions as well.

Another video on new year? best present ever, thank you x

i always like listening to the soothing bg music and being like "Oh i know that song!"

Essence of the Pure Flame + Engineer Shield + % Block highest stamina and armor gear = Aoe Tanking set for MC’s Dog and Imp, BWL Whelp in suppression room, a good number of trash in AQ40 and Naax. It’s not useless at all. Your videos are great, amazing editing , gorgeous voice really relaxing.
