  • There's also a dryad in Val'sharah that reacts to Apocalypse, but it's pretty unremarkable. What I miss about it is that corpses of mobs you killed used to become green and filled with flies, pretty sick when you killed big groups

    Anyone else remember blood being a dps and frost being a tank

    My goblin DK was my fav character. Farmed Invincible on him (148 runs). Something about being a tiny remorseless bringer of death rocketing around the battlefield was endlessly entertaining. The DK plate armor sets also looked hilarious on goblins because the helmets are about half the size of your character model
  • As a DK main since Wrath, I will always be sad they went backwards with Runes instead of forward. On release, we had 2 Blood, 2 Frost, and 2 Unholy runes, with abilities requiring specific runes to use. A good while later, they started adding in ways to temporarily convert single runes to Death runes that could be used as any type, but only on that rune's next single use, then it would revert. Now, all runes are always Death. I remember an abandoned concept that Runeforging wasn't going to just be Enchants, but rather a system that would allow the DK to choose the combination of 6 runes they had. You could have 2 of each, or you could have all 6 Blood, or you could have 3 Frost and 3 Unholy, etc. It would've been so cool to have that kind of choice in gameplay, and it would be very similar to how DK is in Hearthstone now actually. Specializing yourself to how you like to play, rather than every Rune always being every type.

    What you said around 15:00 of the ASOIAF books having an undead king is actually not true. The Night King is a show creation. In the books there is a story that Bran tells of "The Night's King" but he isn't the leader of the White Walkers, he was a Lord Commander of the Night's Watch long ago that married a White Walker woman. If there does end up being a king of the White Walkers, it isn't in the books yet.

    1:33 "Suffer well" might be more related to Stoicism. An ancient way of saying "it is what it is doood".

    God legion had so much character and love and work put into it. We'll never get another xpac like it.

    Damn, I actually just saw Anaal Nathrakh today! Nice timing. Greetings from Rocksradt festival in Romania. Also, I really appreciate you uploading this and the DK mog video at this time because I actually wanna switch to DK main in TWW. So yeah, thank you.

    I love this series! I've been a DK since WotLK and I didn't even know about some of these secrets! <3

    Always gotta play depeche mode when playing my DK

    I was surprised during legion when shadow priests didn't go after the hammer of twilight for their weapon. There was this really cool buildup when chogal was forging it in the quest chain. And nothing really came from any of it.

    Nothing beats Tehd Shoemaker's reaction to the Sceptre of Sargeras

    AND THAT'S because the WotLK and Legion expansion is loved, the references, the quests, the gameplay, everything is what WoW needs for the last thing left in World Soul Saga. haha... legiondaries, thats sound cool. I wish Blizzard would keep the classic creepy Ghoul design that they had in WC3, something like more skeletons and more maws, apart from the fact that their claws were bigger, something like they made it as if it were a Zerling undead version of the undead races. I thought you would talk about the most broken unholy talent in WotLK Beta like the Shadow of Death, there is really a lot to talk about the best hero class in WoW. I hope you talk like that about other classes from The Unknown Side of WoW

    Btw! Zdzisław Beksiński's name is pronounced more like "Zed-geesvaf" :) My history professor used to joke that there had been a war between Poland and Denmark that few people have heard of, when peace was made they decided that Poland gets all the consonants and Denmark all the vowels
