Let's talk favourite abilities! What's yours?

Hey! So I saw some people talk in chat about their favourite class ability and it got me thinking this could be a fun topic to discuss here as well.

The more I thought about it though the more I realised how many cool abilities are actually in the game. Every time I thought I found the one I’d remember another… :thinking:

But if I had to pick one right on the spot I’d have to go for Entangling Roots (despite never playing Druid). I love the idea of roots shooting from the ground to grab people and either hold them in place for or drag them into the ground.


( look at this poor sucker :heart_eyes: )

So I’m curious, what are some your favourite abilities and why? Did you roll your class because of them?

Totems for shamans, vampiric embrace (old) for priests, healing word for paladins. Somehow the spells that I like the most get removed.

Maybe I should start liking pruning altogether and pull a reverse on blizzard.

I love Avenging Wrath, I use a glyph so I get to keep the old visuals rather than the new shiney. It’s a big part of the class fantasy.

I really love the Blade Dance animation on demon hunters, and I love Harpoon on survival hunters :joy:

Old version of Swiftmend, back when it was an AoE healing circle where it’d sprout flowers and other things on the ground. It was very unique and looked very pleasing. Shame that the ability and the animation got changed.

Also really like Void explosion for shadow priests, and most DH abilities’ animations

If that would work you’d be a hero!

Yeah it’s really cool seeing a visual buff on your character before you start kicking as.s - feels like you’re actually powering up.

I think it’s called Winged Vengeance or something, but it is with 4 wings instead of two but it has the old look.

Divine storm, even though I barely play my paladin at this point, i will always love divine storm, especially with 3 stacks of empyrean power

Yes

For paladins I miss the entire WotLK talent tree. Mana and haste and crit for holy. Lord. I feel like crying.

Demonology Warlocks had a beautiful ability called Demonic Leap I believe. You could alter it with a glyph so you became a meteorite if you were in freefall, causing you to land without taking damage. It made for a badass entrance. Metamorphosis (for warlocks) I’d say, but that’s more like a web of abilities rather than just one.

Mind Control and Leap of Faith are both among my favorite abilities of all time and are also still in the game.

Army of the dead on unholy death knight and that flying frost dragon frost death knights have (also known as “the thing which pulls everything in Waycrest manor including things from floor below”). Also when we add traits I love how Blizzard showed some sense of humour adding a tiny frost whelping and their tiny breath. Makes me always feel as if my character is training small whelpings to become scary dragons for battle.

Ever since it was removed a friend of mine always keeps a stack of Avalanche Elixir handy to do just that. It’s less cool than the warlock version but a pretty close second.

This is why i didn’t knew about it, only works for ret :frowning: blizzard and their stupid restrictions.

Think it works for other specs too I will experiment, pretty sure I have butterfly wings for holy too.

I will report back shortly :wink:

Edit to add:-

In Holy spec

In Prot spec

You have to apply the glyph to every spec though, so you have to buy multiples.

I can confirm, it works for my protection as well.

As a former warlock main, my favorite ability remains Metamorphosis.

However, I used to play DK a lot back in wotlk, so frozen path is kinda neat as well. I remember popping this before the last boss of the Trial :joy:

For paladin tho, it’s obviously bubble. You can always hearthstone away from a gank aaaaand save yourself from lethal falling or smth like that :>
