on blood queen there used to be an addon that gave you an order of who to bite, raid leader would set it up and when it was your time to bite it would tell you who to bite based on a prio order
Essence debuff obviously should be prio’d on your best dps who doesn’t rely on pet damage. So, kitties, assassination rogues, fury warriors, frost DKs, mages, Rets, etc. all qualify here.
Chat is right about the DPS numbers making a huge difference - currently my hunter is doing around 9k single target very reliably, and I'm in mostly Ulduar hard mode gear still with a few ToGC items. And I'm not the best, I'm maybe a 70-80 parser. Whenever I notice a Hunter in the meters in these videos (and its not often...) they are doing maybe 7-8k in presumably better gear. Turns out having a solid internet connection and more game knowledge to draw from really makes a difference. Normal mode bosses are going to melt (again, like they did in prior tiers) and the Heroic versions are going to be very doable even for average raiders. Main concern, as always, is doing the mechanics properly so there are no deaths and healers aren't losing their minds.
Hunters didn't trapweave in original WOTLK so the difference is very large for Hunters specifically. Affliction is also doing much more damage now than in OG WOTLK.
Bite the Shadow priest first you get pumping dps if theyre undead the have 2 fear wards and cause theyre doing increased damage means theyre doing more heals with VE I think we used to 1 heal on 10 man cause we could garuntee i got bit first
while i generally find your videos very helpful, i find this format mind-jarring. the tankspot videos are very good and concise… but the constant interruption and speculation about a mechanic just before the guide explains it feels silly. highly suggest anyone just watching the tankspot video in full before watching this.
While I don't think they are gross par say, the insistence on using private server guides and deriding the Tank Spot videos was gross. Its a bit of nerd culture and history, and while the guides are a bit outdated they still provide good information - we'll just be tweaking a few strats based on current knowledge of how they actually work (or don't work, sometimes), having fewer healers and doing massive amounts of extra damage so the fights will be shorter. Though it still blows my mind that tanks were expecting 2k DPS back then when we're doing almost 4k with ease currently (even without threat gear).
@@Legend011 This is also true. I'm not going to hate on them, especially not the people who made them happen. I just think both should be given some respect and not put into direct competition with each other.
@@DWAIBud Yes but that's entirely missing the point that these old videos are reliable information for exactly what we can expect in classic, private servers either unknowingly or sometimes purposely have changes to the mechanics of the fights. We can judge for ourselves how many healers and tanks to bring, the point of these videos is to get precise information about the mechanics.
Men this Aliena voice and the Tankspot Background Music is just pure eargasm.

Putricide was an amazing fight back in the days. But with todays dps-standard Phase 3 shouldnt be an issue.
Yeah its all on the mechanics doers to carry the rest of us. Not having a good abomination player on PP will be a miserable experience.
I had forgotten about Aliena. The voice and the looks woooaaaaa
Good series as always. But you should have named it Icecrown Community Collage.
Thats what the boss guides will be called! ICCC
@Joardee we first went to school-duar then went to the crusader academy now we made it to College

@@cooperrodman1946 Yeah - I REALLY notice how poor my damage is on fights where I can't trap (aka, Twins).
“You’re going to have to be nice to each other annnddd take turns” our melee would never lmao
As the hunter usually assigned to do mechanics fir my raid i cant wait to have to make other people help and tell at them

Someone in chat mentioned private servers, Gross.

Just remember without private server community classic would not even exist.
@@Legend011 This is also true. I'm not going to hate on them, especially not the people who made them happen. I just think both should be given some respect and not put into direct competition with each other.
Not to mention that private servers have been farming ICC 25HC for years and the amount of knowledge that comes from that is insane.

You should ask if the info the audience provides is from a pirated server. If it's pirate server info, it's basically worthless.
"First look" watching videos from 15 years ago 😂😂
He's not done this content before, so it is a first look for him and many others.
