I miss these. Man, i've followed you since your deepholm beta questing days. Thank you for 6+ years of entrainment Jesse. you've been one of my favorite channels for ages now. So much nostalgia for this series.
I like how right when me and my guild downed the first 5 bosses and just started on Domo thursday, you release a video a few days after just in time. I love these guides. Bravo Jesse.. Bravo.
Hey Jesse, love your guides, i find them alot better than most TankSpot guides, as it shows the fight from an average raiders point of view. Keep it up!
@OMFGcata Jesse, something that might help your raid on your repeat kills is to blow a couple cds around 7-8 stacks on the first scorpion phase and get up to 9-10-11 to increase your raid dps, delay his transformations for the rest of the fight and have your cds back up by the last scorpion. As you get gear you can delay stacks in the later phases but for now keep em at 4-4.
I love the music choices you got for all these battles. All of them my old RP group used for battle sequences while playing Starwars RPG and Starwars RPG Saga Edition
Couple fixes Jesse, 18 need to be stacked on 25 for Scorp, if less than that he goes Cat. The damage on 10man is 750,000 per Flame Scythe baseline, it is 2,250,000 on 25man.
@OMFGcata Agreed, and I only played the SNES version that had the name Final Fantasy III and even then I found it one of the best Final Fantasies so far, with the exeption of IX of course. Anyway, nice video Jesse, keep up with that and you might make me resub to WoW some day.
@OMFGcata What was your healer comp for this Jesse? Curious because my guild keeps trying to 5-6 heal this, but it doesn't feel too plausible. Also, when do you use bloodlust/timewarp, typically we were popping it at the beginning then nuking with raid cooldowns to take upwards of 11 stacks in scorpion.
I NEED THESE GUIDES FOR THE FLEXIBLE RAIDS N SEIGE OF ORG. God damn it jesse, i didn't know you were cox from cox n crendor.... i want more pve tuts :( They were so freaking well done!!!!!
@MisterGiddles i know you were asking jesse, but poping bloodlust/timewarp at the beginning isn't a bad idea, but there isn't a whole lot of point in taking his stacks past 9, since then the scythes are coming so fast, you hardly get anymore dps in, but you waste a huge chunk of your healers mana keeping the raid up for those last stacks. Granted this is from my exp. with 10 man since i don't run 25 man, but i would belive it would be the same concept.
Lawl when i saw the title i thought jesse made a new toon named Majordomo, because it soundd like Mojo and jesses main has Mojo in it. Lawl but yea epic video --- Sent From OMFGCata's AppRats (Facebook App)!
@OMFGcata Couldn't agree more with Mojo here. He puts considerable effort in on these guides especially since they are him from the ground up. However, if I were to have things my way I would strongly urge you to get more out quicker, and start doing more wow content. I know a large majority of your subscribers are here for other reasons but ever since you quit the weekly review wow has taken a serious back seat. Remember "OMFGcata" for a reason. Came for the wow, stayed for the rest man.
@EliteRocketBear Jesses guild was actually the 88th in the world to down Ragnaros. He is just taking a bit to get all the guides fully furbished and ready to be released. I can't say I blame him, as these takes a lot of time, but since he is making guides for my guild, I would like to see them get out a bit quicker myself.
@MisterGiddles We bring 7 healers. You likely can not 5 heal this unless you overgear it. The raid comp consists of Mojo and two other Restoration shamans, 3 Holy Paladins and 1 Restoration Druid. The shaman should be top heals easily, with any druids and priests soon to follow while the paladins bring of the rear.
@EliteRocketBear They are considerably delayed. Our first guild kill of this fight was logged on day 3 of 4.2. Jesse is just a very busy man and these take a lot of time to make.
@Takanuis69 Tankspot doesn't actually release reliable guides much any more. But ya Jesse said it best. We killed this boss day three of 4.2 but it took him quite a while to get it out because he has many other things going on. He does not get payed to simply do the voice overs on these videos like the people from tankspot or other raiding guilds. He deserves a lot of respect for these guides but certainly does need to get them out a bit quicker.
I have a recently 85 shaman and want to go resto, just wondering how you prioritize spells like, which ones to use when. Never healed as a shaman before.
@Phumluc You simply stand there and tank the boss the entire time. It couldn't be much easier from a tank perspective. It should be noted that this is a bit of a DPS test and since you only need 1 tank, your other tank may need to be replaced or play from his offspec.
@skellyere90 He is attempting to put together a comprehensive guide where he shows all parts of the fight, likely including the air phase. And since its a 10 minute fight he must be having some difficulty fitting all the information and a kill into a video less than 30 minutes.
@Chraaze they could have made it that the scorpions atteck is an atteck with a cast time so that everyone has time to get together and for the cat form everyone would have to move then :)
@OMFGcata You think FFVI is the best Final Fantasy game, too? I love you (no homo)! Have you heard the music for Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest? It's not as good as FFVI's music, but that music is awesome. (I don't think the Black Mages made a cover of that though, since it's an American Final Fantasy game). And I can't wait to hear your rant. Imho, Kefka was the BEST villain from the Final Fantasy franchise. Never mess with the psycho clown/court mage.
@ajpfore This is not the 10 man strategy. I do wish he noted that. In ten man you want to approach it the opposite. Get the orbs out of the way much earlier in the fight.
@broadcast1010 That seems backwards to me. I didn't raid much in BC but I was a main tank during Naxx 40 and did some raiding during BT and Hyjal. From what I remembered there were no more mechanics that the individual had to worry about then there are now, but there was a lot more the entire raid as a unit needed to accomplish. Now things are much more individual based. I am not convinced that you have done a fight like Heroic Nefarian though. Nothing "faceroll" about it.
@Blackhammer99 True, the troll racial, while not amazing, is certainly better for a healer. That still doesn't detract from the fact that orcs are still the master race of the Horde.
@Leidende1 Mojomaker is on Firetree Horde Us. His guild is named ONE, however we do not currently accept casuals. If you are interested in attempting to join the guild contact an officer before you spend your money to transfer.
@OMFGcata I agree. FF6 was the best of all the Final Fantasies. They really need to do a remake, in full 3D of that game, but not change anything. I would SO buy it. Seeing Terra own face in her esper form.. *drools*
@TheMinescast I think the game pays for itself because once every 4 months or so they effectively release a small expansion for free. The games true value lies in its social aspects though so you would be much better off playing with friends. There are an infinite number of things you can do in this game though so if you do get it don't get discouraged if you get bored with one thing. Just try another!
the problem my guild has with this boss in 10 man are the orbs. they spawn randomly and we cant always get our rotations correct as 2 people could be on the other side of the raid from where the orbs spawn... what should we do :S
Jesse (jessecox.com) from omfgcata brings you a strategy guide for the Shannox boss encounter in Firelands raid in world of warcraft cataclysm. Why thats in Description box :D???
@TheMetalFin Any competant raider would read the Dungeon Journal and find out for themselves, if they can't be bothered to do that then they don't deserve to be called a raider. Effort = Epix!
@SilenceDHeu in 25 man it would not be a good idea to go with the flow as your suggesting. This could easily cause a wipe as some people may be delayed in running out or run out a bit too early if we are not 100 percent sure when we are separating. I do not recommend just haphazardly going at this in 25 man. It WILL cause problems especially if your rotating healing CDs on certain stack numbers.
JESSE YOU LIE. I have looked up Ohio weather online. Since I don't know where in the state you live, I'll go off of Columbus, seeing how its the center of the state. The end of the storm was at 10pm CDT. If there were ANY chance of it starting back up, it wouldn't be until ~2:15am. With it only being a picture, my thinking is that Fan Fridays don't take as long to upload, so you have a good 4 hours to squeeze it in for it to be Friday night, or just 1 hour or 2 late. >8(
I miss these. Man, i've followed you since your deepholm beta questing days. Thank you for 6+ years of entrainment Jesse. you've been one of my favorite channels for ages now. So much nostalgia for this series.
I like how right when me and my guild downed the first 5 bosses and just started on Domo thursday, you release a video a few days after just in time. I love these guides. Bravo Jesse.. Bravo.
I really like Jesse's videos and their timing. Matches up quite nicely to my guild's very casual play style and progression.
i love the way your raid guides are set up .
the way you do it is better then any other guides I've seen.
Jesse rocks! I just love the these strategy guides with laid-back attitude and castlevania-style intro and music.
Hey Jesse, love your guides, i find them alot better than most TankSpot guides, as it shows the fight from an average raiders point of view. Keep it up!
i quit wow 2 years ago and still watch these videos and enjoy them.
i kinda miss WOW when i see this videos but then i think of all the facerolling content they have and i'm happy nice job!
@OMFGcata Jesse, something that might help your raid on your repeat kills is to blow a couple cds around 7-8 stacks on the first scorpion phase and get up to 9-10-11 to increase your raid dps, delay his transformations for the rest of the fight and have your cds back up by the last scorpion. As you get gear you can delay stacks in the later phases but for now keep em at 4-4.
i like how you talk when you are explaining...not too boring like tankspots' guides (no offence) but clear at the same time
I like the fact that Jesse knows how to put the perfect song with each video xD
I love the music choices you got for all these battles. All of them my old RP group used for battle sequences while playing Starwars RPG and Starwars RPG Saga Edition
Couple fixes Jesse, 18 need to be stacked on 25 for Scorp, if less than that he goes Cat. The damage on 10man is 750,000 per Flame Scythe baseline, it is 2,250,000 on 25man.
great music choice! the black mages is an awesome band!
@OMFGcata Agreed, and I only played the SNES version that had the name Final Fantasy III and even then I found it one of the best Final Fantasies so far, with the exeption of IX of course. Anyway, nice video Jesse, keep up with that and you might make me resub to WoW some day.
cool vid, awesome music and no beating around the bush. well done
@OMFGcata What was your healer comp for this Jesse? Curious because my guild keeps trying to 5-6 heal this, but it doesn't feel too plausible.
Also, when do you use bloodlust/timewarp, typically we were popping it at the beginning then nuking with raid cooldowns to take upwards of 11 stacks in scorpion.
What's the beginning music? It's not the Black Mages music, it's the music he uses in all of his boss strategy guides. Can someone tell me? :(
What is the name of the song in the beginning where the cat and scorpion swithes and it says Firelands: Fandral Staghelm?
I NEED THESE GUIDES FOR THE FLEXIBLE RAIDS N SEIGE OF ORG. God damn it jesse, i didn't know you were cox from cox n crendor.... i want more pve tuts :( They were so freaking well done!!!!!
omfg... chill bro.
I don't play WoW, I only watch because Jesse Made the video and put work into it
Hmmm, I know the song from during the video is in the description... but what is the song used in the intro?
@MisterGiddles i know you were asking jesse, but poping bloodlust/timewarp at the beginning isn't a bad idea, but there isn't a whole lot of point in taking his stacks past 9, since then the scythes are coming so fast, you hardly get anymore dps in, but you waste a huge chunk of your healers mana keeping the raid up for those last stacks. Granted this is from my exp. with 10 man since i don't run 25 man, but i would belive it would be the same concept.
I remember Fire lands was my first ever raid. i remember we had a strategy with a few disc priests to stagger our aoe shields
Lawl when i saw the title i thought jesse made a new toon named Majordomo, because it soundd like Mojo and jesses main has Mojo in it. Lawl but yea epic video --- Sent From OMFGCata's AppRats (Facebook App)!

i love watching these vids and i never even played WoW myself nor do i intend to
@EliteRocketBear Jesses guild was actually the 88th in the world to down Ragnaros. He is just taking a bit to get all the guides fully furbished and ready to be released. I can't say I blame him, as these takes a lot of time, but since he is making guides for my guild, I would like to see them get out a bit quicker myself.
i never even do raids on WoW but i just like to watch these =D
jesse, do you have dragon sould tuts like this one0s from FL? i need! :)
@LongClawzHidden its in the description its
Decisive battle - Black mages
After watching so many videos I couldn't stand being alliance anymore so I went back to my old race which you currently embody TROLL SHAMAN FTW!

do u have video for ragnaros ???
jesse, what's the hps like in 25man with healing rain+alot of mastery on that fight? :P
in 10man we had to do around 55k hps split among 3healers
I'm a fan of Jesse's serious business voice.
@broadcast1010 You haven't raided much heroic mode content have you?
You make the best guides
@TheRivalNightmare ...
The Majordomo is the highest rank within Ragnaros' army, only held by two people, Majordomo Executus and Majordomo Staghelm.
@Takanuis69 Tankspot doesn't actually release reliable guides much any more. But ya Jesse said it best. We killed this boss day three of 4.2 but it took him quite a while to get it out because he has many other things going on. He does not get payed to simply do the voice overs on these videos like the people from tankspot or other raiding guilds.
He deserves a lot of respect for these guides but certainly does need to get them out a bit quicker.
Will you show us the fight against Ragnaros in normal mode and will you do (and show us) the heroics or not?
I have a recently 85 shaman and want to go resto, just wondering how you prioritize spells like, which ones to use when. Never healed as a shaman before.
@Phumluc You simply stand there and tank the boss the entire time. It couldn't be much easier from a tank perspective. It should be noted that this is a bit of a DPS test and since you only need 1 tank, your other tank may need to be replaced or play from his offspec.
@lassefan You haven't done much heroic raiding have you?
dude your guides are awsome so much better then tanksspot
@skellyere90 He is attempting to put together a comprehensive guide where he shows all parts of the fight, likely including the air phase. And since its a 10 minute fight he must be having some difficulty fitting all the information and a kill into a video less than 30 minutes.
jesse's fav song in the background here
Whats the anme of the add-on that tells the raid what ability a character is using?
Jesse, you sir are EPIC.
@Chraaze they could have made it that the scorpions atteck is an atteck with a cast time so that everyone has time to get together and for the cat form everyone would have to move then :)
@OMFGcata You think FFVI is the best Final Fantasy game, too? I love you (no homo)! Have you heard the music for Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest?

And I can't wait to hear your rant. Imho, Kefka was the BEST villain from the Final Fantasy franchise. Never mess with the psycho clown/court mage.
@OMFGcata Speaking of which... When ya uploadin' it?
@ajpfore This is not the 10 man strategy. I do wish he noted that. In ten man you want to approach it the opposite. Get the orbs out of the way much earlier in the fight.
Whats the name of that epic intro song?
@broadcast1010 That seems backwards to me. I didn't raid much in BC but I was a main tank during Naxx 40 and did some raiding during BT and Hyjal. From what I remembered there were no more mechanics that the individual had to worry about then there are now, but there was a lot more the entire raid as a unit needed to accomplish. Now things are much more individual based. I am not convinced that you have done a fight like Heroic Nefarian though. Nothing "faceroll" about it.
looks like fun cause there is lots of originality to this fight (Mechanics and strategy alike!).
i wonder who makes the sprites at the beginning of each of these videos
@Blackhammer99 True, the troll racial, while not amazing, is certainly better for a healer. That still doesn't detract from the fact that orcs are still the master race of the Horde.
will you make one strategy guide for ragnaros? i would apreciate so much, anyway, good fight and good video.
I was stuck on heroic Ryolith 25man before you even started posting raid guides for this tier.
...and I'm still stuck on that guy =F
I have seen the content! Does that mean Blizzard wont nerf it this time? :(
Anyone know what the song is during his commentary? :(
@Leidende1 Mojomaker is on Firetree Horde Us. His guild is named ONE, however we do not currently accept casuals. If you are interested in attempting to join the guild contact an officer before you spend your money to transfer.
Hes not clicking grid to heal or targeting people, am I missing something or is this a addon?
DUDE THAT MUSIC YOU USED REMINDS ME OF DINASTY WARRIORS, I GOT SICK NERDCHILLS, THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@OMFGcata are you jesse from hybridpanda!??!?!!?
Fricking love the music.
@OMFGcata I agree. FF6 was the best of all the Final Fantasies. They really need to do a remake, in full 3D of that game, but not change anything. I would SO buy it. Seeing Terra own face in her esper form.. *drools*
Yay another video to kill my boredom, thanks Jesse :D
Is WoW worth the amount you pay for it?? i don't have it but i am thinking about it.
did you got that shoulder token?
@TheMinescast I think the game pays for itself because once every 4 months or so they effectively release a small expansion for free. The games true value lies in its social aspects though so you would be much better off playing with friends. There are an infinite number of things you can do in this game though so if you do get it don't get discouraged if you get bored with one thing. Just try another!
the problem my guild has with this boss in 10 man are the orbs. they spawn randomly and we cant always get our rotations correct as 2 people could be on the other side of the raid from where the orbs spawn... what should we do :S
Does burning seed get cast on the tank?
what song is that?
I have a feeling the cat likes you. He keeps jumping towards you! :D
GAAAH I still love these 8bit intros! And the music, for that matter :D
Jesse (jessecox.com) from omfgcata brings you a strategy guide for the Shannox boss encounter in Firelands raid in world of warcraft cataclysm. Why thats in Description box :D???
jesse whats ur guild progression my matt damon horde sargeras 2/7 herioc
when is ragnaros guide gonna be up plz? :)
@TheMetalFin Any competant raider would read the Dungeon Journal and find out for themselves, if they can't be bothered to do that then they don't deserve to be called a raider. Effort = Epix!
Why havent you done a Alysrazor boss video my guild is counting on you!!!
how are your raid frames like that? thats cool
do u use a healing addon? :P
@SilenceDHeu in 25 man it would not be a good idea to go with the flow as your suggesting. This could easily cause a wipe as some people may be delayed in running out or run out a bit too early if we are not 100 percent sure when we are separating. I do not recommend just haphazardly going at this in 25 man. It WILL cause problems especially if your rotating healing CDs on certain stack numbers.
@Takanuis69 Owned?
Is Alysrazor next or soon jesse? :P
Good song choice ;] The Black Mages ftw
Jesse, why haven't you changed your name to Jesse Rox yet?
@TheHmmster His first guide for shannox came out the night of 4.2 release.
where is your ragnaros fight =o ?
How would you do this as a main tank?
@MrDeathface69
Ummm he pretty much casts Healing Rain when he should. Not sure what your point is.
JESSE YOU LIE. I have looked up Ohio weather online. Since I don't know where in the state you live, I'll go off of Columbus, seeing how its the center of the state.

Nice one jesse!!! --- Sent From OMFGCata's AppRats (Facebook App)!
@everandea4 No, not that music! The one DURING his commentary, not after it.
Good drop with that staff, Jesse! 8)
@MrCyberGiant Step daughter, technically. Though since Night Elves don't marry in the same way humans do its a loose term.
HWY OMFGCATA JESSE !!!! OMG !!
UR HERE
