    I dont feel bad for the Gnome Mage slave at all. If he hasnt realized that he can conjure food and water out of thin air and feed himself while imprisoned then he probably shouldnt further taint the gene pool with his spawn.

      He probably got hit in the head a lot pre-imprisonment... Concussions tend to keep people groom thinking straight

    Looking back at this video, there was a missed an opportunity to make a joke about Nixxiom returning to life after the events of How To: Warrior by simply running back to his corpse as a ghost.

    This must be for classic... Retail tanks just wear runnning shoes and keep going till at boss.
    Meanwhile healer got aggro and is dead dps are just everywhere trying to survive to only pull more mobs the tank skipped

    As a tank, I just try to intercept the incoming mobs triggered by the Hunter and the Warlock while hoping that the Rogue doesn’t go after the boss.
    The old vids are still fun, but they’re more relevant to Classic these days.

    • @roninshinobi
      @roninshinobi Рік тому +2

      The how too videos actually makes fun of the difference between classic and retail. The how to tank one for examples makes fun of the Meta instances and how some groups are powerful enough in certain dungeons to clear them without a tanks.

    Man I really missed machinima. There's still a few great creators like nixxiom putting stuff out. But I got nostalgia for that golden age where it felt like every other wow UA-camr was making shorts.

    as a tank who mained tank specs since the start of wotlk, all i can say is that once your actually tanking, all that info dump comes to you by instincts :D, most of the things a tank is supposed to do are things that are common sense and should be absolutely obvious, i mean sure for the first few pulls if with a random group i do smaller pulls just to see how healer handles things, and if i see that they have no trouble, i go for bigger faster pulls (gotta satisfy the dpses so they could see their big numbers or else they will run of :D) as for aggro generation, i cant say i have ever had issues with it, worst case scenario just got to taunt a mob in that big cluster fk of mobs thats starting to lose aggro because some dps is going ham on it.

    1 rule, make everything hit you. If things hit the DPS, its fine. Keep them off the healer.
    Using sheep and sap in pugs is just asking to get deaded.

    I mean Skull, X, and moon are right but for me
    -Square always meant ice trap by hunter
    -Star was sap by a rogue
    Typically after that though, there wasn't really a need for any other symbols unless you had a really specific or really large pack.
