I will also update this post with errors as people find them. 5:10 Hunter 12:36 Woyer(Warrior) 17:42 Mage 22:29 Priest 26:52 Warlock 30:58 Druid 37:00 Rogue 41:00 Paladin 48:54 Shaman Errors: Shadow word death is usable on targets of any health level(must have been another expansion it was changed to an execute ability) Dwarves and draenei get chastise(2 sec root) in exchange for losing exclusivity of Fear Ward. It was confirmed that it'll be 2.4 balance also, so except every priest race to have fear ward I don't think I did justice in explaining that warriors are weaker than their vanilla counterparts. Some people make it out as if they'll never get a raid spot, which I think is an over-exaggeration, but they're definitely weaker in TBC than they are in vanilla. Warrior's Rampage ability requires manual refreshing every 30 sec

I think my favorite point of TBC was levelling as a elemental-resto shaman. I forgot the exact build, I think it was 30-0-21. You dip into elemental mastery and nature's swiftness, allowing you to instantly cast Chain Lightning with 100% crit chance. OP stuff. Also allows you to level solo and heal dungeons fine all the way up until heroics and karazhan.

Minor nitpick that has most likely been mentioned: You list MS healing debuff as a pro in the column for warrior in pvp as it's unique to them. Hunters got the MS effect added to Aimed Shot in TBC as well, and rogues always had it with wound poison.

You sir are a legend - first guide that I found that gave me a good insight into all classes.

MACE SPECIALIZATION! As a lifelong arms player, this thing was so OP. I remember dueling outside IF and people being so confused by what happened to them. And once you got Stormherald...

These old skill trees.. Felt like that every level up mattered. (Thinking back, it didn't even matter that much since most of the time you just gained like 2% more damage haha but back then that was the shit)

The smooth voice turns out to be really fitting for this overall video IMO. (Slightly whispering style). How the different stuffs in the video come together is well done. Such as zooming in slowly , step by step pictures for the explanations, etc. Good job! If you need some critical feedback: Perhaps adding a few chapters via yt function. (it's good for when you lost track,or were occupied for a minute or two somewhere else) Keep on showing just stuff that you talk about - that's a core part of high quality video making IMO. (with few exceptions such as introduction perhaps) (This is a copy-paste of the previous video I have seen of you, as it is just as fitting...)

Would love to see a profession overview for TBC as well

Vanilla is nostalgic, and I had a great time in those early days, but TBC was the era I played the game more than during any other. I had time on my hands, and I used it. The game kept me busy. My experience in vanilla was spent mostly leveling up, with a little raiding right at the end. But during TBC, I did everything.. PvE, PvP, leveling and gearing a bunch of characters... it was insane. And I loved every minute. Hard work that paid off! I made some lasting friendships during that time too, including my best online-friend whom I still talk with to this day. I actually skipped Classic.. because I had my dose of nostalgia on Nostalrius and didn’t have irl time to commit to starting over again.. but TBC Classic??? I’m ready.
