Yeah, Infernals did. Doomguard was added in Cata, I think.

Infernal Stones for Infernals.
I forget what doomguards required, besides the death of a party member (or the warlock)
Ah yes, the old Demonic Figurine

Ah I forgot about the old school Doomguard. It wasn't added in Cata just changed

I remember summoning the Doomguard had a chance to kill the Warlock thus leaving the Doomguard to attack the Warlock's party.

Warlocks used to troll the friendly AH by summoning an infernal then releasing it to attack random bystanders.
I remember leveling my first main toon, Shaman, as Enhance in BC and when I hit 40 and got Shamanistic Rage... oh man I didn't have to drink in between pulls as much anymore! It would proc mana restore or something silly lol, but at the time it was amazing. That shit would be bullshit if the game came out today, but it was fun as hell back then

I leveled a Rogue up to 50-so in Vanilla and had like level 27 shoulderpads and bracers cuz I was 12 and didn't know wtf I was doing. I remember doing Zul'Farrak and Maruodan a lot. I hung out in Desolace a lot.
I think part of my attachment to my Shaman is the bullshit I went through to level him. I see warriors complaining, but I leveled a warrior too and warrior wasn't near as bad.
Prior to level 30 my 'rotation' was
refresh lightning shield
cast earth shock
heal if i need to
wait 6 minutes per kill
then you hit level 30 and you became odin
Remember how you could do various professions that branched off? Leather making had three sorts of armors you could end up making but you could only do one of them. Other professions had such decisions too.
I look back at those times and think of how much time was invested but you know what? I loved it. It was fun. It was different. It was huge and there was a world to explore. You never knew what you would see.
Ah those were the days even if nostalgia makes it seem grand.

It was more of an RPG then.
Also, I believe profession branching is happening in Legion again.

Not having mail for your first 30 levels was agony
Fuck people nostalgic for vanilla.
You didn't have mail for the first 40 levels.
Your saving grace was windfury at 30
I actually started leveling my Shaman as Resto/Ele. I was like hmm lemme take some healing talents to help me out. Then a friend told me I was doing it wrong and should go full into Enhance, that probably tripled how fast I could kill stuff
Rockbiter was GOAT though. That +9 dps...
Judgment was your only active damaging ability right? lol

Hmm yea I guess it was Stormstrike at 40. I didn't buy my account until BC so Shamanistic Rage was a thing, but it was level 50 I guess. I remember getting it in Felwood, and I hit level 40 in STV, so that makes sense. Was amusing looking at the old calculators.

DW wasn't a thing for Shaman in Vanilla, you had to spec to use a 2H.
You had to re-level your 2h abilities if you re-specced too, lol ;(
The only profession that sort of kept that was Alchemy with the potion/elixir/flask master stuff. But that kind of went away in MoP, I think?
Still Goblin/Gnomish engineering, some patterns/toys are only for one of them
I recently made the engineering portal items since they are tentatively going to be toys in Legion. Hope they don't renege on that after my hard work

It was still there in MoP though not as important as it was before. You can still have a specialization, but it doesn't work on Warlords items.
Those aren't even vanilla talent trees, not really. Every class got a completely redesigned talent tree over the course of vanilla starting with Warriors. The shaman one there was added in 1.11 which meant they only had it for about 6 months, the vast majority of vanilla they were stuck with an even dumber one. Like instead of one talent that increased the effectiveness of your weapon enhancements, rockbiter, flametongue, frostbrand, and windfury all had their own individual talents that were 2 ranks each. Pretty silly stuff.
It's funny how the real vanilla talent trees have mostly faded away on the internet and just the 1.12 versions exist on most websites (mostly due to private servers I assume). Talents were even worse than those for pretty much every class, I mean that survival hunter tree doesn't even have lacerate!
Praying for Seal of Command to proc took a lot of energy and focus from what I remember.

Going through my account and found my vanilla Hunter. Black cow with full Giantstalkers and Rhok'delar, does it get any cooler? Well maybe....
I have so much old school transmog on my various characters, I can't wait until the Legion transmog system hits. Oh damn I just checked out my Paladin, he is a treasure trove of weapons. Back in Sunwell I tanked, healed and DPS'd depending on the fight so I have almost every 1H, 2H and shield from that time period.

I have a full set of Voidheart AKA the GOAT tier set so I am also excited for Legion transmog.

I remember when you had to talent to get instant corruption....
smh
There were quite a few talents that were like that. Reduce the cast time of Spell X by 20%, 5 points/levels.

It took a bit of doing finding a pug--so glad I re-added Resto--but it took almost no time to get Revered with the Saberstalkers and Tanaan Diplomat once one was up and running. I should have the Corrupted Dreadwing in the next two days. I don't know what I'm gonna do once I have it, I've been so fixated on these two things for a few weeks now.

Windows 10 is going to be a requirement for Legion?
I was so happy about finally getting flying I just hopped on my Gnome Mage and did an aerial tour around Shadowmoon Valley.
That might be a thing to get after I get Exalted with all WoD factions and collect a few mounts, titles and tabbards. After looking on WoWhead by mounts I mean the Deathtusk Felboar.

That's odd, I only have 8gb of ram, i5 4600 something CPU and a Geforce 970, and yet my FPS is pretty stable in Draenor on ultra settings. 60 FPS i think, could get in the 50s sometimes, but I don't notice any of that and I don't have a FPS counter always visible on my screen.
A 970 is very different from a 970m.
Not an expert on video cards, but I'll trust you on this.
I suppose the "m" means "mobile", ie : laptop's video card?CelticKnight

Trying to get the Big Love Rocket on 10 toons each day. Talk about tedious...
The recommended specs well have windows 10, not the minimum
Usually what happens, the pre launch patch has the talent changes and system changes. Hell we already know the pre patch this time will have demon hunters starting area.

I hate this mount and I hate running this boss on multiple toons for it every fucking year (also Halloween boss, seriously fuck all of my friends having it and getting it again every year and I still don't have it).
So I feel your pain.
I just noticed this thread despite how long I've been here. Any other fellow raiders out there?
Try 34 characters a day...
Well, the first day I only did 18 before I got fed up.

Yeah, a 970m more in line with a desktop 960 so not comparable with a desktop 970 which is much more powerful.
Just an example of the difference, here's a benchmark for Battlefield 4, you can see the 960, 960 OC and 970 at the bottom.

Eeek at the system requirements jump in Legion.
I really don't want to upgrade. I'm hoping I can still play Legion fine. Sounds like I might have to lower a setting or two. Specially terrain distance when I hear its getting increased in Legion.
