Vanilla WoW depended much more on skill. This Rogue obviously has no skill as he didn't attempt to control the fight or attempt any stun lock. Look at the wait time between attacks and stuns. Show me Grand Marshal from vanilla WoW and you have a skilled player. Today, it isn't about skill, but the gear you have. And considering you can get Ruthless now with just plain honor? Yeah, skill is no longer a factor... I miss vanilla WoW PvP...

@sasmatlock369 the game was very different back then.. and i attacked this paladin knowing very well i had no chance.. even with the perfect stunlock.. he was way out of my abilitys and gear.. one of the best playing/geared paladins on the server at the time.

and grand marshal didnt mean jack shit.. all it said was you spent your whole life on WoW living in battlegrounds.. most of the best players i knew lived outside orgrimmar dueling all day. in pretty standard bloodfang~ gear

Bottom line here, Vanilla pvp came down to how your gear stacked up against your oppenents gear. You wanted to be a good pvper? You needed gear, and it took months of investment in a guild or an honor grind to start being really capable of taking other geared people on.

Skill certianly still factored into it, but gear was more important. Unless you were Vurtne.

Disclaimer: This is all just my opinion and I'm really REALLY bored right now.

@ZefUnavailable i think speed definitely was a big factor too.. most classes had the ability to take someone down very quickly.. or had to be fast enough to defend themselfs. most of the best pvpers back in the day i knew were also the fastest people. you died and killed so much faster back then.. so ofc gear was important.. but speed of play was also very important.

this rogue is also hitting on some of the best plate in pre-bc

[chilly22]

this is from 4 years ago.. alot has changed since then.

prot spec used reckoning.. which charged up extra attacks as you recieved crits

so you could sit and wait out 5 crits.. then unleash 6 400-500 attacks at once.. around 3000+ damage instantly without a single crit.. much much more if you do crit.

and with people having around 4k hp back then.. id say thats pretty insane for a single instant strike.

and you clearly know nothing about rogues

i had normal gear.. watch my other videos.

[sasmatlock369]

I will admit, gear helps. But until you watch a player like my wife, who can own high geared skilless noobs in her Vicious/Ruthless set, you can't say skill means nothing. One-on-one PvP shows a players true skill. This rogue has no skill.  My wife would have destroyed this pally with ease.

@SonicChaoExpert "the better your chances are" is true, but a highly skilled player would have won with the same gear. A skilled rogue knows how to stun and escape, then re-engage.

[SonicChaoExpert]

Ok the whole bullshit about how back then wow was apparently not about gear is total garbage. Wow has been and always be about the kind of armor you wear, and the weapons you use. The better they are, the better your chances for success are. Someone who raided and had let's say T2 could wipe the floor with someone in D1-Rank 7-10 blues. It was about gear. If you honestly say it wasn't then you probably didn't play it.

@chilly22 couldnt have said it better lol

[Calibretto9]

@ZefUnavailable Gear was important (you couldn't do anything without it) but for Paladins at least getting to the point of competent gear was pretty easy. Skill was a big factor (tons of old videos of naked Paladins or Rogues whipping up on "geared" players). I preferred the old style mainly because it was quick if the opponent sucked so you get move on to better fights. If the opponent was good the fight could take minutes of back and forth battle. Much better system in my opinion.

[ZefUnavailable]

So wait, if it was a human paladin, he would have won? Nah, the human would have just bubbled out of blind. The dwarf here did not bubble because he wasn't going to waste it, being an experienced pvper and all.

Giving that much of an explanation is pretty unnecessary, because what most people here seem to be disregarding is the massive difference in the level of gear between these players. Paladin with tier 2-2.5 and Hand of Rag won the fight? No fucking shit he won.

[ZefUnavailable]

So why couldn't this rogue completely control this paladin like the naked rogue in World of Roguecraft?

Probably because he didn't expect to win and just wanted to see what it was like fighting a well known player on his realm in some of the best gear available.

So he opens up, same old rogue opener, everything is cool BUT WAIT, PVP TRINKET and STUNNED. Ok, no big deal, not over yet OH GOD MY HEALTH IS GONE.

So that suprise leads to panic, and forgetting that dwarves can racial out of blind.
