"Unfortunetely, in real life, your gear does not impact your stats." Um..Excuse me, Bellular? Have you seen me in my leather jacket? That thing gives me, at least, +2 charisma. I mean, please, don't embarrass yourself.
Yep, I only sub to Belluar for WoW and soulsobreezy, I like this guy...hes done a few great videos. You should all see his video on the "Survival guides" he does.
"You can spend a few weeks putting in the effort to upgrade a piece of Benthic gear, only for a lucky piece of Tianforged loot to occupy that slot." Just another reason why Titanforging does not have a place in WoW, and was a mistake to develop.
@disadadi But thats literally what people were crying about this whole time. They all wanted a way to obtain decent gear by doing world content, so the world actually has a purpose. Now you cry about it, because you think you should need to do raids in order to get decent loot. Do you not realise that this is the exact problem on why Blizzard literally cant win? There will always be a person like you, who cries about a change that like 80% of the playerbase wanted...
the fact you can get Heroic Raid level gear from doing dailies is dumb... and too bad Titanforging isn't going away anytime soon.. Blizz seems to really like it and think its a great carrot to chase, and the majority of players like it... give a chance for lower geared people to get lucky....
@@karserasl I didnt say thats what I feel the world content should be about...in fact I´m much more of a fan of the Mechagon system, where you can acquire a ton of vanity items. I´m just stating the fact, that a TON of people wanted this to happen...you know someone can state the opinion of other people, without personally sharing them right? So dont come at me with this condescending "you dont know what really matters" type of shit...
I certainly like the idea of benthic gear more than Argus random gear. But I still like the MoP item upgrades better. It just seems like a superior system, rather than getting specific gear from a specific place that is upgradeable, all gear being upgradeable.
I know a lot of people are disillusioned with the game right now & I think that’s what’s driving Blizzard to experiment more in the open. I welcome these experiments and hope they improve in the gameplay and story elements. I can’t wait to see where the story goes!
The benthic zone is the ecological region at the lowest level of a body of water such as an ocean, lake, or stream, including the sediment surface and some sub-surface layers. Wikipedia. ...neato.
As a professional trained in the field of chemistry, I can tell you, my work gear indeed affects my "stats". Also, in the summer heat Germany faces right now, bright clothes are better "defense" than dark ones.
nws void It is a good place to live. let me guess, you’re from the US and believe your country is above every other one? Meanwhile common folks in your country can’t even access decent healthcare when needed unless they ruin their savings. With a simple dentist consultation going from $150 and beyond. No wonder many have crooked teeth.. Anyone even morons (God knows there’s a lot of them) can carry guns, which is why school/public shootings is perfectly common for you. I could go on and on but I’ll stop there. Nice Hollywood propaganda tho, I’ll give you that one.
...... The only RNG stats in gear are TF and WF.....base stats don't really change so it's really not that difficult. Now regardless of what iteration the game was in, if you were a player that actually cared you always simmed for the best gear in your bags
I already think it’s silly how all gear feels so temporary and ultimately ends up being rendered useless by Blizzard. But as long as Blizzard continues to try and expand and keep everyone’s gearing methods in mind instead of constantly removing things and minimizing everything I’ll be interested again.
Real life gear does affect lots of stats, actually. We have gear for charisma, endurance, armor, fire and frost resistance, etc. We even have fun engineering suits with quirky traits like +3000% water breathing duration.
So just to clarify what I saw in this video. Is this the route people with knowledge on BFA would take if they had no other 120’s? Meaning fresh toon in this expansion no rep no flying no anything previously? I am trying to figure out a guide on where and what to do as I just came back. There is so much in BFA it has me lost as to what is important to knock out to get end game content started. And work on flying and professions later. Thanks for any help!
I’m already not enjoying the daily quests. I’d rather be doing something else in the game and my wife doesn’t seem to be getting the same dailies as me, so we aren’t playing together like we were prior to this patch’s release. I haven’t even gotten my mythic key in for the week.
Blizzard took so long to add new content that forst death Knight had time to learn fire spells become a fire elemental and get a new red version of his gear
You know the best part of the Benthic gear it's Boa, the questing is well a lot of hidden quests the companion xp is a daily deal so that's a unique factor but it's a nice concept. My DH picked up every other professions quests which is a good way to get mats for alts. Azerite seems lacking in places but start off I lagged so badly for a new patches seems like everyone that got on were happy not many complaints when the patch hit. You can Gey friendly with your main rep pretty fast just doing all quests you run into.
Most people who complain about stuff just want the attention, cause they dont have anything going in their life that would make them stand out in any other way. Its fair to criticise WoW for its real issues, but 95% of players just complain because they wanna stand out for a few seconds...
Came back a month ago. Proudmoore rep is crap to grind out... had so many friends quit because they couldn't use the new races. Any update about proudmoore or reps getting easier?
Asmonbald and McCuck will use this for content. What i'm trying to wonder is if Asmon can find his hairline before finding waldo. What's the difference between a Leech and MCconnell? The leech will stop sucking after it's dead...Sorry McCuck...
I like the new Benthic gear, but you know what I really want....STAT REFORGING from MoP. One of the most popular mechanics added to the game, everyone loved it. And Blizz wont at it back in because of...reasons...
I made a strategy im willing to share. I bought all the benthic gear, but I didnt upgrade it, cuz it would take so many days to get manapearls for it. So instead of it, i bought benthic gear, to scrap it for titan residulum. This way, its faster to level the gear. After I have all the season 3 gear bought from residulum, I start to buy benthic gear, then upgrade it, and only use it when it has a higher level than the season 3 gear.
I tried to use skillshare to upgrade my stats but I accidentally chose the wrong courses and put +3 in Martial Arts instead of Art skills. Can I get a free respec tome?
Im watching it for the 4th time and catch myself stop listening. Not Bellular's fault tho, just that itemisation went absurd i want classic already. Honestly, was it that bad when we had loot droping from bosses and u had better item or not w/o having running simulations before u decide to keep it or not?
Too late, I think those who begged for years for that to come back or even a fair version. But Lok tar ogar. But nail a pally or shaman for me would you? *chuckles*
The problem with removing raid sets is it left blizz with only one choice make it so good gear can only acquired in raids or else no one would raid when they could gear just as good through other quicker means. Raid sets bonuses made raid gear unique so that even if someone had gear the same Item level they wouldn't have those special bonuses you received for putting in the time to raid.
Thanks for the video man, this is really helpful. I am excited to be able to farm and quickly gear. PvP, specifically wPvP is something I really enjoy and with this gear being so dependent on gear, its cool to know that I can guarantee myself progression weekly. Side note, whatever space you are in recording your videos, it looks really awesome. Is that an attic that you turned into a dope recording/gaming area?
Every class and I think many specs too have their specific discord where you can learn the most about the class/spec with updated info not available on guides.
Why do sims mean its bad? Depending on some classes like Spriest a 385 haste crit ring with socket is better then a 4155 from King.... how would someone just know that.
It's not sims per se, it's the fact that you have to go outside the game to figure out if gear is better in general. If the mechanism were built into the game, I wouldn't mind, but if any addon or outside calculator is required and not part of the game, there's something systemically wrong with the design.
Please understand this is just my opinion and what I have experienced as an OCE player. I'm not a huge WoW player but during the time i spent playing in legion and the start of BFA I have always found myself wanting to play more to get more gear but always would run out of things to progress in. I have a strong stance against time gated progression and time gated content. I feel like if i wanted to run through all the content and get my ilvl up as much as possible I should be able to do so. I greatly enjoy watching numbers increase which unlocks more content. I'm haven't been much of a group/raid player so things like the higher tier raids didn't happen for me mainly just LFG and normal. I have always wanted to try raiding at the Heroic and Mythic difficulties but getting into a guild isn't easy considering class and spec(If anyone cares I enjoy playing Feral Druid). I know its not the same game type but just as an example I play Destiny 2 and with my clan and even before I joined a clan I would do lots of raids a week to get gear for myself and if my friends missed out we would LFG to find players. Yes a raid in D2 takes less time than WoW but more people were willing to help and give people a chance unlike on WoW where I've been met with groups that don't want players based off your ilvl or if you had already completed the new raid or a previous raid. On multiple occasion I have been asked to show completion of a old raid on Heroic before I could even join a normal raid. I have always found it very hard to get gear outside of raids so I have always felt like I was lagging behind and by the time I was ready for the content the catch up mechanic was in place and the content was dead. The weekly M+ chest is nice but I haven't been able to really get into it as it isn't really something I have enjoyed. Getting into M+ groups as a DPS is always hard with low ilvl and being kicked happens way to quickly so most of the time people don't even care that you want to try and would like to get better gear thinking that someone else will come along and help them. I'm not a game designer and I haven't played WoW for years and years so maybe there are some tricks to the trade I don't know about. I'd like there to be someway to make it more appealing for groups to take through more players or help players get the ilvl so that everyone that isn't apart of a discord or guild gets a chance to play through the raid content. More ways to get gear and progress through without having bottlenecks makes the game more enjoyable I feel. So things like lockouts and world quest timers or the once per week mythic runs keep me away from playing and really getting invested back into WoW. Kind of like how I play Destiny 2 at the moment once the weekly content is up and i have all my powerfuls in the content I like mainly the PVE stuff i don't touch it until reset. Not an ideal way to play a game about collecting loot and powering up. Excuse my rambling and understand that this is my opinion and my solution isn't perfect for many reasons but I feel like I would come to enjoy MMO's if i didn't get bar'd off from continuing to progress through a game I enjoy. The hardcore players will always power ahead of others like in any game but that doesn't mean you can't have the best of both worlds.
Let me reword that intro: Patch 8.2 is finally here it with it comes new motivation to play this game, for about 3 months that is, when they tell you that your gear is going to be worth 0 in a few months down the road! Oh yeah and check out the new store mount
as a 413 ilvl, i'll just gear up in najatar HC, and save the pearls/shards/crystal/whatever they are, to buy mounts and pets. gear is basically worthless, in a couple of weeks will be thrown at us, and looks like shit, i'll just get mounts at least some of them look cool...
Yay. Mounts that do nothing else besides run. Cool. What a great way to spend your time. You should play Guild Wars 2 or something else. Collecting mounts in WoW is a joke.
Kind of torn now, I kind of want to go back and try 8.2 but now that I know there will be a level squish at some point I figure I might as well just wait until whenever they do that even if that's next expansion.
Although alot better than the previous 2 expansions and the befpre the storm novel, it still reminds you how horrible the main faction war story is and honestly, doesnt sell azshara's threat as well as most hoped
The story was always good,people just dont bother to do the research required,also the fact that a lot of the story is on the novels doesnt help so most people dont understand what is going on.
@@tzoanast1061 eh the story was meh at best. Contrary to believe but the progression in qhat's considered the best like wrath was very bad but it was just filled with enough good moments to make it "good". Even if we count the novels, BFA has been beyond horrible. Perhaps even worse than WoD and WoD had fucking alternate reality time travel
@@khalduras784 I am not gonna try to change your mind because that would require me to write 3 pages that have to do with the story of BFA but I don't think you can call Wrath's story bad come on.
Those ring combinations are pretty awesome! A clever idea. But chances are you're going to be stuck with one and have cock all luck getting another... But I'm a pessimist.
"Unfortunetely, in real life, your gear does not impact your stats."
Um..Excuse me, Bellular? Have you seen me in my leather jacket? That thing gives me, at least, +2 charisma.
I mean, please, don't embarrass yourself.
-5 charisma around vegans though
@@MoosFantaSea That comment is actually underrated
@Mst O' Mailly - So +30 Charisma with non-vegans, due to the vegan charisma debuff proc.
MST O' Mailly wow i was not expecting this counter 😂
Pretty certain my glasses give me a plus in something also, given they allow me to see.
I bet you Kelani will make the same video but will put 435+ ilvl
he cute tho
I'll take a piece of that action
And dont forget that the video will be 10 minutes and 1 second long, to get more adds into video.
Yep, I only sub to Belluar for WoW and soulsobreezy, I like this guy...hes done a few great videos. You should all see his video on the "Survival guides" he does.

anything that kills of warforging and titanforging even a little bit is a big plus for blizz from my perspective

@@foxex1775 The video said that benthic armor would max out at five ilvls below heroic. ??
"Do everything, all the time, every day." That's a perfect description of the MMO genre lol
at least ... add pvp vendors in the next expansion from start to end i dont wanna do any pve ffs
im so glad to see someone speak what im thinking frfr
Good to know I can outgear people who cleared mythic Jaina with the release of the very next patch
That's WoW in a nutshell.
You think mythic raiders care about item level? They care about getting cutting edge and preparing for next Raid tier.
Played since BC, dropped now because its gotten this way and the ones I used to BG with just cant be bothered or dont play that game anymore.
This is why I quit.
.... This is nothing new. There's pretty much always been a catch up system
In real life your gear does increase Charisma. It also gives you an illusion-school buff that increases your perceived Intellect and/or Wisdom.
I can see those essences being something that people will invest a lot of points in a thing, then Blizz will nerf it and make it all a waste.
I certainly like the idea of benthic gear more than Argus random gear. But I still like the MoP item upgrades better. It just seems like a superior system, rather than getting specific gear from a specific place that is upgradeable, all gear being upgradeable.
YOU GET GEAR! YOU GET GEAR! EVERYBODY GETS GEAR. EVERYBODY IS A SPECIAL LITTLE CHAMPION IF YOU JUST LOG IN AND BE HERE.
You can get Ilvl 1000 gear, if you suck (and many of you do), it won't change that.
I know a lot of people are disillusioned with the game right now & I think that’s what’s driving Blizzard to experiment more in the open. I welcome these experiments and hope they improve in the gameplay and story elements. I can’t wait to see where the story goes!

Shhhhh dont become part of the fun police 🤣🤣🤣🤫🤫🤫
😂😂😂 stop being a rat
I was about to ask the same question!
I was like wtf 3600 haste
visual error from db
Benthic gear takes a long time to max out a single piece. This video should say “415” ilvl, not 430.
Exactly
Real life gear does affect lots of stats, actually. We have gear for charisma, endurance, armor, fire and frost resistance, etc. We even have fun engineering suits with quirky traits like +3000% water breathing duration.
the bit bands showed ilv 825. I was going crazy thinking there could be that much stamina on one ring lmaooooo

Add PVP vendors and make battlegrounds relevant again :( Punish AFK honor botters harshly, and make the gear worthwhile like it used to be.

what is this class discord post you speak of?
i was wondering the same thing
Every class and I think many specs too have their specific discord where you can learn the most about the class/spec with updated info not available on guides.
Warriors is called skyhold
So far I love Benthic gear, as far as dumping pearls into them to increase their stats, but don't care for the bonuses too much.
Off topic but one thing that really grinds my gears is the fact that if your not a crafter aka me then you have 400 explosum and no way to spend it
Those rings are an amazing idea!
My spec is ret. It gave me random gear that happens to be for prot. Same old same old.
Easy content for the Bald King
Good patch in the right direction
If heal, then big haste proc for 15 sec - ok that sounds REALLY good for my hpally main :D
Does the ilvl from the m+ is blocked on 415 be4 mythic raid? Or is it higher? #EUasks
and still no QOL changes for multiple characters. its all focused on "a main character"
BUT do you need to sim every piece of gear you get to determine if it's an upgrade? If so, they've continued the failure of gearing.
Why do sims mean its bad? Depending on some classes like Spriest a 385 haste crit ring with socket is better then a 4155 from King.... how would someone just know that.
It's not sims per se, it's the fact that you have to go outside the game to figure out if gear is better in general.

Thats great and all, but where is my allied Tortollan race?!
Why should i try to upgrade my Benthic gear or do raids when i got the same loot in Mythic+ and it's alot easier and faster to do.
don’t do it then
Looks great :)

Yes a raid in D2 takes less time than WoW but more people were willing to help and give people a chance unlike on WoW where I've been met with groups that don't want players based off your ilvl or if you had already completed the new raid or a previous raid. On multiple occasion I have been asked to show completion of a old raid on Heroic before I could even join a normal raid. I have always found it very hard to get gear outside of raids so I have always felt like I was lagging behind and by the time I was ready for the content the catch up mechanic was in place and the content was dead. The weekly M+ chest is nice but I haven't been able to really get into it as it isn't really something I have enjoyed. Getting into M+ groups as a DPS is always hard with low ilvl and being kicked happens way to quickly so most of the time people don't even care that you want to try and would like to get better gear thinking that someone else will come along and help them. I'm not a game designer and I haven't played WoW for years and years so maybe there are some tricks to the trade I don't know about. I'd like there to be someway to make it more appealing for groups to take through more players or help players get the ilvl so that everyone that isn't apart of a discord or guild gets a chance to play through the raid content.
More ways to get gear and progress through without having bottlenecks makes the game more enjoyable I feel. So things like lockouts and world quest timers or the once per week mythic runs keep me away from playing and really getting invested back into WoW. Kind of like how I play Destiny 2 at the moment once the weekly content is up and i have all my powerfuls in the content I like mainly the PVE stuff i don't touch it until reset. Not an ideal way to play a game about collecting loot and powering up.
Excuse my rambling and understand that this is my opinion and my solution isn't perfect for many reasons but I feel like I would come to enjoy MMO's if i didn't get bar'd off from continuing to progress through a game I enjoy. The hardcore players will always power ahead of others like in any game but that doesn't mean you can't have the best of both worlds.
I gotta ask.. In the introduction is that noise from the Fel Reaver that walks around Hellfire?
yes !
@@TheVeynom Thank you. That's what it sounded like but I wasn't sure.
Let me reword that intro: Patch 8.2 is finally here it with it comes new motivation to play this game, for about 3 months that is, when they tell you that your gear is going to be worth 0 in a few months down the road! Oh yeah and check out the new store mount
What about weapons/shields?
I wouldn't call getting 430 easily being "good"
as a 413 ilvl, i'll just gear up in najatar HC, and save the pearls/shards/crystal/whatever they are, to buy mounts and pets. gear is basically worthless, in a couple of weeks will be thrown at us, and looks like shit, i'll just get mounts at least some of them look cool...
Yay. Mounts that do nothing else besides run. Cool. What a great way to spend your time. You should play Guild Wars 2 or something else. Collecting mounts in WoW is a joke.
But is this patch worth coming back to? Im thinking about just waiting for classic, but Im also on my summer break and dont have anything to do
Kind of torn now, I kind of want to go back and try 8.2 but now that I know there will be a level squish at some point I figure I might as well just wait until whenever they do that even if that's next expansion.
Gearing may be easier, but is the story any better yet? somehow this expac has been less enjoyable than WoD....
Although alot better than the previous 2 expansions and the befpre the storm novel, it still reminds you how horrible the main faction war story is and honestly, doesnt sell azshara's threat as well as most hoped
I love the story, but Draenor has a good one too. I want to know who whispered in Zuljins ear.
The story was always good,people just dont bother to do the research required,also the fact that a lot of the story is on the novels doesnt help so most people dont understand what is going on.
@@tzoanast1061 eh the story was meh at best. Contrary to believe but the progression in qhat's considered the best like wrath was very bad but it was just filled with enough good moments to make it "good".
Even if we count the novels, BFA has been beyond horrible. Perhaps even worse than WoD and WoD had fucking alternate reality time travel
@@khalduras784 I am not gonna try to change your mind because that would require me to write 3 pages that have to do with the story of BFA but I don't think you can call Wrath's story bad come on.
Those ring combinations are pretty awesome! A clever idea. But chances are you're going to be stuck with one and have cock all luck getting another... But I'm a pessimist.
If I just started today again how would I catch up and gear up ?
I wonder if this means I'll be able to start soloing dungeons in order to finish the quests that force me to group up.
Its nice to see that blizzard is still experimenting at 8.2. xD
another great video!
