[rickjamesia]

[coolcat3815]

god i love wow ;)

[RyokoLam]

Wowinsider directed towards this vid, what the imagination of players can do sometimes lol

[BishtrainerTai16]

id have like to have seen this from the pally's pov

[FazzEgg]

B00m Headshot!

[PVPwarcraftologist]

damn this nigga had to go and fuck it up for everyone else lol

[thewowdude15]

It didnt look like a 1 shot, because the server lagged, it couldent shot 3256 hits at once, so it put it into segments.

[reckisbomb]

This is gay

[SonicChaoExpert]

The song is from Carmina Burana written by Carl Orff. This particular section of Carmina Burana is called O Fortuna, and it is the first and last movement of the piece.

[Carnage1320]

good old days

[Arena2v2]

wwhats the song?



[Martmeisterpaladin]

I think I know why it was called "Reckoning". :O

[RefugeeLcci]

cool...

[sgNism]

@namredips7272 it was a rogue who hit him to stack up the reckoning, faggot

[xtrem3rd]

You do have to admit that the way his healthbar depletes DOES make it look like multiple hits.

[MeBomb1]

And people complain paladins are overpowered now...

[lalahai01]

I mean the music

[nemezi]

@lalahai01 carl orff - carmina burana

[lalahai01]

whats the name of the video?

[555EnterNameHere666]

why didnt they just make it not able to stack 1816 times .-.-? old bomb was da shit

[DeathKnightSothPwns]

@555EnterNameHere666 this is when it was first released. blizz thought it was impossible

[Muco808]

oh man i rember reckoning bombs :) man those were the times

[fatndeckert2]

C-C-C-COMBOBREAKER!!!!!!

[music4meh]

and they decided to nerf pala's 2 expansions later, in Cataclysm... *sigh*

[skrili]

@music4meh nerf -.- theyre not getting nerfed even more stronger a pet a 225% weapon strike a duration heal for teh rest almost nothing changes

[music4meh]

@skrili retri paladins get nerfed. thats sure. just check the new talents

[skrili]

@music4meh i checked all classes they arent getting nerfed they getting upgraded

you should now more about retri before saying that tehy get nerfed

[music4meh]

@skrili most the most used skill got nerfed. A friend of mine is in cata, and played paladin in Wotlk. maybe it looks like they got upgraded, but they have lame burst. still hard to kill though

[skrili]

@music4meh i tested all things out on a beta Pserver me and my friends but up for lan use palla's dint get nerfed youre friend probelly doesnt know how to use the new thing called holly power

[music4meh]

@skrili lol you would have to be really dumb to not understand Holy Power. just in our opinion a paladin got funnier to play but most of the ret gamplays got nerfed, now they're really balanced in pvp. vs every class.

[skrili]

@music4meh dude no they arent gonna get nerfed they still win vs evry class like now

[music4meh]

@skrili awright...

[skrili]

@music4meh -.-

[DaDarrell]

@skrili apart from a shadowpirest ;)

[WOLF777dude]

That was beast, back when WoW was actually fun.

[MrRedbluelover]

there is one thing i wut is wrong paldins cant use daggers -.-

[PeterHammerich]

@MrRedbluelover

... Well it was because they used a rogue to stack up the reckoning

[Rushinator]

lol 1-shot in a raid means killing the boss in one try with no wipes. 1-shot in PvP and sometimes PvE means to kill them in 1-shit. There's no one clear definition since it was made up for games like this. Since this was a raid, 1-shot is ok to use and the server probably couldn't register that much damage from a player in 1-shit so it would have been 1 hit if the game could handle it.

[Tedericoe]

Carmina Burana is the name of the song

[AdamBurt14]

what is the name off the song

[etherealessence]

and people say pallies are OP now..... man i wish i played a pally back then :P

[Koroar]

Lol so many retards...

"Didnt get 1 shot omg omg wtf"

...

Who actually cares...

[majaromajaro]

Server capabilities meant it couldnt register all the damage in 1 go, so it looks like several hits.

[Executus300]

Looked like he was 4 shot. Maybe it's just me.

[Dawgmandede]

One shot means that on the first attempt they got the boss. I.E. no wipes.

[rasse995]

WRONG!!! one shot means that he just did 1 hit on the mob and it's killed

[etherealessence]

@rasse995

both are right actually.... but when it comes to bosses with insanely high health, its always kill on the first attempt.

[duthie6514]

@Executus300 it looks like it's 4 shots because what he is doing around 2000 hits a second and the server can't handle that much...so it shows up as a 4 shot.

[Tedericoe]

aint no private server...

[HuenRox]

Nice private server :)

I've read all about glitch's and stuff. This was new, and unknow. So if it was true, then how can blizzard nerf a spell, if it never existed?

[ShoeMage]

Not a private server. This was never a spell, it was a talent. Pretty much the same as it is now, but it didn't have a timer, and it gained a stack everytime you were crit. So he ran around taking crits from lowbie mobs, ran in the raid, bubbles, ran up to Kazzak, and boom- Reckoning Bomb was created,

[RSKinney]

@HuenRox Negative.

[HuenRox]

@RSKinney I disagree.

[RSKinney]

@HuenRox Then you didn't play classic. Pretty much end of story.

[HuenRox]

@RSKinney I did play vanilla.

[Flawlesscowboy101]

Idiot, read the rest of the comments before you dribble over your keyboard.

[HuenRox]

@Flawlesscowboy101

No. Comments don't proof anything. This is my meaning and you've got yours. I'm just wondering why blizzard never mentioned this. And stop being rude, sir.

[RSKinney]

@HuenRox Blizzard doesn't mention a lot of their nerfs except in forums. Reckoning is an existing skill in wow, still, and prior to this event, was able to stack infinitely. Now it doesn't. There is your proof. I'm not sure what else you need.

[HuenRox]

@RSKinney Your words is not a proof. But nvm.

[InterestingFlavour]

If comments don't prove anything google Reckoning Bomb.

[HuenRox]

@InterestingFlavour

I do know it did exist. I am just WONDERING why blizzard never wrote it down in their logs. :/

[jaghatarkebab]

@HuenRox Blizz always write down the new things in patch notes, what the don't write is the bug fixes

[HuenRox]

@jaghatarkebab

Exactly.

[orfygage]

lol 3 broken daggers. ye i got a question though. i tought that reckoning stacked infinitely but for 1 hit , but that pala in the video hits 3 times for imba dmg... how?

[Jonnywow55]

@orfygage

Reckoning was stacked up to 1816. Reckoning fired off all charges at once. Seal of Righeousness hit every time. That is 3632 hit at once. The server couldn't take that many attacks going out and it lagged.

[PankakesNoMustard]

what did the spell use to do? 20% max hp dmg? :O

[RushedUp]

lol.

it was a passive spell. everytime u got critted you would get 1 extra swing. and he stacked it for 1816 wich is 1816 hits and Seal of righteousness hits every swing

[MattNicholson7]

how did he stack it?

[RushedUp]

before it was stackable. it wasnt a buff that faded away.

[PantelijaS]

nerfed in what way ? >.>

[MrRosstifarian]

wots reckoning?

[bobtheblizzard]

its a spell pally's have. it use to be op, hence the video.

[sveiaxa]

what song is it?

[noujaadw]

hehe the guild chat was funny to

[wumamichl]

made the paladin a video too?

i would like to see the dmg. 1815 hits? that looks crazy i think^^

[TheRealVordox]

@wumamichl I think the max cap was 500 Hits per "swing"

So it was really something about 5-7 seconds due to it before all charges was used up. :P

[loserkid3319]

ya see AddictedToRitalin Blizzard does this thing that is new to the online gaming community called "patching/bug fixing". i know it sounds crazy but they really do such a thing. Its one of the reasons why the game is constantly changing. Maybe you'll notice it one of these tuesdays coming up.

[loserkid3319]

Calm down there Ritalin.

If you were'nt such a noob yourself you would know that at one point in time reckoning stored up hits that the player could unleash when they wanted.  It wasn't supposed to be able to stack taht high and is why Bliz corrected as stated in the video.

[elliotaaik]

Did he say that the paladin used daggers ?

No. Ofc the druid did.

[IzzyArayaFan]

Lol your the fucking noob, Read the coments before you try and be smart

[POZDRAW]

i am wondering how long it took him to gather all the stacks of reckoning on him..

[fencingmasterj]

It says 3 hours in the video.

[khmaster]

LMAO, I remember this shit, it was hilarious.

[WOWZarathara]

lmfao kalay759,nice comment xD

[M4d533n]

He basically hit him about 4-5000 times in less than 5 seconds, or so.

[kalay756]

Blizzard employee sees this video..

Blizzard employee - "MR. CEO! Some paladin just reconing bombed kazzak and one shotted him!"

Blizzard CEO - "...dear god....THERE TOO POWERFUL! NERFNERFNERFNERFNERFNERF!"

Some years later...

Random player - "Hey guys! WOTLK is out!"

Random player 2 - "Yeah! lets get 80 and do some pv-OMFG RETADIN...."

[HolzBongo]

hahaha^^

[XxflamingarrowxX]

To the ground baby.

[Saviour86]

@kalay756 Maybe, but people is talking to much shit, he obviously was NOT 1 shoted, I think I saw 4 (visible) hits before he killed it

[xXFiXThEPiEcEsXx]

@kalay756 Hahaha lol'd

[SquirrelLord17]

I PLAY ON AZGALOR ZOMG

[zbeste13]

i wonder what the vent was like when this happened

[enigmaOorion]

V obv didnt play pre-bc

[thefrost420]

a rogue hit him to stack reckoning... with daggers

[HuffoN]

Not the palas dagger..

[simish3]

nub - reckoning comes when someone crits on you and daggers have lowest dmg so it was dagger they used on critting him <.< tard

[andymadownzdeadly]

your cool caujse you know EVERYTHING

[zappo037]

palas can't use dagger ?

Idiot ..

[kidman2505]

zappo, heres a pro tip bud, it took that long being hit by those weps to get reckoning procced that high.

Idiot...

[Demitro]

ur the idiot

[Trambolin111]

its really epic dude

[MrTast]

Epic music!

[lord0gore]

anyone know what happened to this guy? or what his name is? (in WoW)

[CameronWasmund]

This is not a Private Server. it was done on a live server by a paladin with Hundreds of Stacks of the Prot Paladin spell Reckoning. So when he hit kazzak..he was hitting him hundreds of times...Hence why he got killed so quickly..the pally didnt die cause he had a bubble up. Reckoning no longer can be stacked though D: its changed to an extra attack for 3 swings i think

[middlevin]

a bomb for horde

[Demotipper]

wasn't a 4 hit...back then the game couldn't handle the numbers it would take to one hit Kazzak so it got divided up...just saying what i saw someone else say on a differen URL (same vid different poster...)

[gottalovebacon]

Kazzak just got 4-shot at 60 by one Pali?

Damn.

and they say Ret's were OP.

[Eruantalon]

Actually, the "reckoning bomb spec" was mostly Retribution, but took about 20 points in protection for reckoning ;)

[AfroMan12341]

I Like To Type Like This Too

[Wickellen22]

Read the TOS people, Blizzard can delete your beloved pixels anytime they want without any questions asked.

It's their game and they do whatever they want with it

[soulflajer]

Oldshool and pure epic :D

[brinegret]

Lol Skave nice, through one word every one hates you now heheh!

[NickyDahl]

You're the dude who favorited a video of someone playing Star Wars with a bagpipe. Just shut up now.

[NickyDahl]

Pretty sure someone who enjoys listening to Star Wars on a bag pipe is a bigger nerd than someone who enjoys playing a video game.

[NickyDahl]

Go back to your nerd apartment and jack off to jabba the hut. It's the best you'll ever get.

[skave11712]

Mind not taking my comebacks and altering them a bit to fit your crap insults?

[SSdraken]

He's right though, you're a fucking nerd.

[skave11712]

Sorry don't have time to argue with nerds

[Zirax666]

don't argue with yourself then :)

[skave11712]

Oh was that supposed to be funny? Was I meant to laugh there?

[RoyMustang298]

Yes..... yes you were.

[skave11712]

No, you ripped it.

[turquoiselephant]

The definition of Over Powered

[Phessisca]

What about having a warlock with over 5389343 DPS?

What about a Mortal Strike Crit for over 30k?

What about 3 shotting a Boss with a hunter?

[nakeysaw]

Why would a warlock have damage added to his/her melee weapon?

[legendgo]

wtf dps is damage per second its recorded on your dps meter and tells u how much dmg u are doing per second its not something on a melee weapon idiot

[nakeysaw]

It says damage per second on a weapon. Warlocks don't have dps, they have bonus damage. Don't call me an idiot when you don't know shit. Fucking retard.

[legendgo]

ur a fucking idiot he said what about having a warlock with over 5345345 dps hes saying what about hoiw much dps locks can do from their dots l2read kk? noob

[nakeysaw]

Nope, your a fucking idiot. He didn't mention anything about DoTs or about how much they can do from them. He just said how much dps they do. So I am right to assume he means weapon dps. Dumbass.

[legendgo]

wtf man sif hes guna mean weapon dps for a lock, dps means overall dmg per second so stfu ur just embarissing urself more

[nakeysaw]

Haha, your poor spelling is embarrasing yourself. Dps doesn't mean overall damage, thats what you think. It's whats on a weapon, or addition to melee attackers.

[legendgo]

overal damage per second thats* l2read kk? and u got no idea what ur talkin bout man seriously stfu yer? damage per second = dps thats what he said every1 has a dps count (even warlocks) so its not melee dps its overall dps that they do k? next time dont try correct ppl when u got no idea

[nakeysaw]

L2spell dumbcock. You're saying the same thing. Seriously stop posting I don't give a shit. I'll always be right.

[legendgo]

But your wrong think about it and its slang noob not spelling incorrectly

[nakeysaw]

No, theres a fine line between slang and mental retardation. You passed it. Noob

[legendgo]

w/e u got cut tho

[SSdraken]

Actually I gotta agree with the others, a warlocks dps clearly refers to the damage per second they do overall eg. in a 100 second long bossfight if they put out 50,000 damage their DPS was 500.

When you talk about someones DPS you don't talk about the dps of their weapon, you are talking about their overall damage per second which is damage done divided by the time it took to do that damage.

[darcshado]

Here noob, so go back in ur fucking corner and cry. Your a fucking retarded mother fucker who doesn't know shit about a game you probably never played.

Spell (DPS) Formula

Assuming that there is one roll with three possible outcomes - hit, crit or miss - the following formula can be used to determine your DPS:

[(Spell Hit % / 100 - Spell Crit % / 100)(Average Spell Damage + Bonus Spell Damage) + (Spell Crit % / 100)(1 + Bonus Spell Crit % / 100)

[peacekid]

you are both major faggots.

[skkkummy]

Deffinately.

[Facesofpeanut]

I love you peacekid

[gulius112]

1 shot. epic.

[Slaiyer323]

wat is this song called??

[mainalt]

blizzard's response: HEY, pallys just had one overpowered ability! we could nerf it a fair amount and keep it a good ability... or...

[ransom5008]

The cap was reduced to four hits, It was later deemed overpowered for arena, and then nerfed to what it is today

[Yellownealy]

I have a question, did all of his charges get released at once? His health seemed to drop 2-3 times, so I am unsure how that works

[blackfang500]

Its lag. 20 jillion reckoning bombs arent all gonna go off at once.

[Kapop1]

not lag acctually, when reconings up it dosnt always proc, its got a percentage chance, so even with nearly 2k reconings up, all of them could proc, or none of them could, its odds, cahnces are the procced like 500 at a time, wich is still gross, lets say he hits for 100, that then procs 500 times all hitting for 100 and thats then 50k dmg in one hit, they dont call em reconing bombs for no reason

[Craiglad1234]

500 can only go off at a time mate, this isnt lag

[Supaspork]

it is not lagg, reckoning charges went of 500 charges at a time which is why he dropped in health 4 times

[cheebc]

TO ALL OF U WHO JOIN WOW AFTER BC.

The video is true. The Reckoning today is the 3rd edition!

1st edition: proc: 100% chance to gain 1 extra attack while being crit, release ALL charge on next melee att. charge : unlimited. time limit: no time limit, can use it at anytime.

2nd edition : same as above, but can only have 4 charge max.

3rd edition: proc: 10% chance to gain 4 extra attack when u were hit, release 1 charge on each melee attack. charge : 4 charge time limit: 8 sec.
