The History of Windfury Weapon (Vanilla WoW to Legion) - Shaman

Windfury, is part of the reason shamans were infamous back in vanilla wow as the overpowered class. That and their shocks.

It's really sad how since Cataclysm Windfury went from a proc you'd look forward to seeing to a proc you couldn't give less of a shit about. They watered that shit down SOO much throughout the expansions it's actually ridiculous. They could remove windfury next expansion and you wouldn't even notice.

[HUHhuh]

*salute to beavis, unbreakabe, and all other 2hand shamans*

[Nawn]

I downloaded "Unbreakable" back then and watched it probably more then 100+ times or listened to its music, one of my top10 alltime wow Videos. I really like that you mentioned it <3

2 handed windfury didn't die till Wrath. In BC using it on the right 2 handers (usually pvp weapons with the right STR bonuses) reached almost Vanilla levels of broken. In moderate pvp gear in BC I could kill clothies with a Stormstrike WF proc, and blow most rogues to cheat death. Interestingly it was a perfect counter to warlocks at the time. Thanks for the memories with this, though

[BaltisLV]

Ahh.. Unbreakable! I remember that guy, had nice taste of music, Soil!

[hocke]

There was a point (BC or WotLK) when Enhance Shamans would equip a fast offhand and use Flametongue while leaving Windfury on their main hand weapon.

Next ability: Innervate - That thing did change more than I can count. Or, you could do combustion. Pretty much the same as Innervate, its also one of the most changed abilities.

Btw. F's for Windfury Totem, damn I loved that small little fella in TBC (and so did my other 3 melee group mates :D)

[WarsunGames]

The original windfury totem did give an additional 2 hits. I am only 1:30 seconds in. No. They did not remove the additional attack until WoTLK. He didn't 1-Shot multiple players. He did it to two of them. An one was sitting down. 2:49 No they didn't they quit the game. They didn't get Dual wield until Patch 1.12 Patch 1.11 was beta.

[HalikBun]

No mentions of the largest nerf it ever had: The removal of its cool triple attack animation when they gave it it's first animation overhaul in TBC. :( Was the day I stopped playing my shaman...

... Nah, I actually kept playing, but I was super salty about dropping Windfury Totem for the rest of the melee because Windfury Totem kept the old animation through TBC. Usually dropped the agility totem. ^^ I was kind of an asshole.

[runesolberg]

Made a shaman twink in TBC at lvl 49- 2x crusader enchants+ 2x flurry axe(epic 1 hander axe that could proc an extra attack) and different rank of windfury on each axe- this caused
windufurry to also proc of the other rank of windfurry. This caused my tauren shaman to just jump up and down with no other animation then the windycloud. killing elites in hinterlands it could do 6-700dps at lvl 49 overtime. The nerfed it in the end, but was fun while it lasted =D

[patrickkeller]

Are we not going to talk about how strong two-handed windfury was back in Wrath. I clearly remember playing it, due to it being so strong in PvP

[MrGrimfacade]

From 3:00 to 4:00 you talk about being able to dual wield wf In patch 1.11. Well shams couldn't duel wield till tbc. your wrong on that whole point.

[rusfeedernoob]

I miss the dark grey hurrican animation so much! Good times...

[Seabersify]

i always tried to imagine what the dps of a rogue would be while under the effects of slice and dice, tw/lust, winderfury totem, stormlash totem (from Mop) and shadowblades, so over 130% attack speed, addition auto attack damage with additional ability damage (with extra cp) as well as a chance to get 2 additional attacks with increase AP on top of addition damage from stormlash, god forbid if blizzard put weapons or talents with chance to grant an extra swing or 2 back in, which could proc can you imagine like, 10 attacks going off at once when windfury and extra swing chance procs each other at once and if you were outlaw, to have the mastery proc as well...They'd hit like a truck during burn phases

[Maskeddrake]

I love those "history of" videos, I'd like to know more about Lay On Hands, would you consider doing it one day?

[xenoblad]

a general video on the removed druid ability Symbiosis.
I stopped playing before it came out, so I never got to know how it was like.

[heliok]

Man those old early internet days playing wow.
I played wind fury shaman, pretty fun

[tekkaoz]

"Saw use in PvE"... err... You weren't horde were you? Because WIndfury was *fought* over in every raid I was ever in back then. It was insanely powerful and demanded.

[delsin]

Maybe do a video on all the enhancements spells and how Enhance shamans changed over time

[devinschwarz]

I would love to see a video on the changes to starting abilities for all classes throughout the years. Maybe split it up to Melee starting abilities and range starting abilities to keep it from being too long.
