Humor / Meme Shoutout to that Warlock that yoinked Ashbringer from the last Naxx of TBC

Post image

That Warlock in StaySafe’s last Naxx of TBC that yoinked Ashbringer a couple years ago, I guess he was playing the long game because in a few months it will be useable in the Mists of Pandaria pre-patch.

You can give pets weapons?

u/BrandonJams Mar 03 '25

You can force your Felguard to hold a weapon in your bags via the updated glyph of felguard

u/Addicted2Edh Mar 03 '25

Bad ass

u/Heatinmyharbl Mar 03 '25

Yeah it's cool as fuck.

Still a thing today in retail, and you can change your pet's colors/ features at the barbershop in retail as well. Don't think we get that in Mists just yet

But yeah some really cool weapon/ color combinations for felguards in retail

The barbershop for demon pets was a Dragonflight addition

u/FragmentedDisc Mar 04 '25

Sweet, just gotta wait for Dragonflight Classic. Shouldn’t be too long now.

Unless by some magic they make WoD with the stuff they cut out due to crunch

u/Very1337Danger Mar 04 '25

Eh perhaps but also nah

1

u/Ruff_Bastard Mar 04 '25

Why would they do that? This is Activision/Blizzard were talking about

2

u/tycoon39601 Mar 05 '25

My best bet is they speed up wod and add nothing new.

2

u/bobbis91 Mar 05 '25

This is more likely, at least the end. The raids were all pretty solid tbh but without anything else to do, Legion would be much preferred.

Until people start getting OG Sephuz as 1st leggo, man that hurt...

u/FragmentedDisc Mar 04 '25

You very well know they’re going to keep calling it classic while adding expansions. I just wanted them to stop at WotLK or TBC, but here we are. Hopefully with the anniversary servers they just stop at TBC.

u/Unhappy_Cut7438 Mar 04 '25

Why? The raids were some of the best of all time and you know it will be on a much faster timeline with some added features.

u/Very1337Danger Mar 04 '25

Bold to assume that PvE is my main field of gameplay. Except when it's Legion then yes, you're correct. Though, as a PvP main, faurk WoD. Keep me in MoP foreverrrrrr. I'd rather just not have WoD+ if they can do like refreshes for Cata and MoP every 5 years.

But I know this is unrealistic, I do. Only thing I can see happening is classic stopping at MoP and then it dying after 2 years+ of the final pvp season/SoO release, or they do go to WoD and I just quit until Legion, play that passionately, then quit again because ABSOLUTELY fuck BFA+ even more than WoD. However I did like BFA, when it was retail, but not enough to play it again.

No joke, you might be the first person to ever actually answer with a real reason. Enjoy your PvP!

u/Chip_Heavy Mar 04 '25

I actually do think WoD classic will slap, if we get it, which I bet we will if nothing else but to get to Legion. I’ll be shocked if it doesn’t end there though.

The issue was lack of content. Classic gets content faster, plus, they may actually try to restore some stuff, but, I shouldn’t get too hopeful.

Remind me 2 years

u/Inrag Mar 03 '25

You can force

Lmao i love the implication of being non consensual like you gonna use THIS weapon instead of your filthy Arcanite axe.

u/-jp- Mar 04 '25

I think there is an important detail about warlocks that you are overlooking.

u/Fantastic_Peace_5335 Mar 04 '25

Just listen to your demons commentary when you make them do shit XD

"I haaaaate thiiiisssss plaaace"

I was shook the first time I summoned my VW with headphones on 5 years ago lol

Blueberry is so depressed :<

u/Meigsmerlin Mar 05 '25

Um actuallyyyy

It's "i don't like this place" with emphasis and pauses being put on every word 🤓☝️

u/pbrook12 Mar 04 '25

Fitting for warlocks considering your summoned demons are literally enslaved and forced to do your bidding

21

u/dragdritt Mar 04 '25

Well, until they renamed the spell enslave demon, for whatever reason. God forbid a warlock can be morally ambiguous.

DEI (Demon equity inclusion) hire at Blizzard

u/BrandonJams Mar 04 '25

Personally, I’d rather my Felguard wield an Rag Hammer

u/Scrotchety Mar 04 '25

I'd give mine the pitchfork from ZG's Edge of Madness. Something edgy about a demon holding a pitchfork that does extra damage... aGaInSt DeMoNs

u/haazyreads Mar 04 '25

Guy on my classic server had a HoR on his warlock to troll warriors and shamans, he would just go open trade with them in cities.

I wonder if he still plays.

The bindings are sadly restricted by class. A huge blow to Firestone melee 'locks.

u/Addicted2Edh Mar 04 '25

Wow unplayable

u/FrankFankledank Mar 04 '25 edited Mar 04 '25

I blame the Paladin Mafia, same folks who didn't let Shamans use Atiesh.

You can still finish the quest and equip Thunderfury as a warlock. Same with mages, which there are examples of.

2

u/MrXennon Mar 04 '25

You know mages and warlocks can get TF correct? The bindings being class specific actually doesn't stop you lol

1

u/rakfe Mar 04 '25

Idk about other versions but in firemaw era i saw mages with thunderfury equipped, item still mentions class restrictions but it seems like not working

u/wartywarlock Mar 04 '25

No those are just serving suggestions

2

u/uberjack Mar 04 '25

Does it trigger the SM event tho? 😀

u/Styx1992 Mar 04 '25

I've been playing this game for over 20 years, warlock since late WoD

How the hell did I not know this?!

u/B0skonovitch Mar 04 '25

Is it a one-time equip? Once dead or unsummoned, it's gone?
