Is phase 3 coming out too soon?

[@soulmourn1702]

No.

[@brandonwilson4740]

Ya I think so but I'm not complaining about it

[@ebossnz6838]

I don't think it's too soon but a little bit more notice would have been nice. Like 2 more weeks. I now need to rush stv to get the mount on alts etc now we can't get the mounts in p3 right? Becausr the coins go away? Or am I wrong anout that part

[@wowclassicplus]

no. phase 2 was a pain in the a

[@Sulamanjansulttaani]

​@@ebossnz6838 i dont know but its a 60% mount, useless with epic riding skill. Is why i didnt get it even though would be nice to have a mount that doesnt cost mana as a paladin.

Bro your videos have been kinda blowing up. I swear you had like half the subs when I subbed. Great job keeping things simple but full of info.

thanks very much steven, that's amazing to hear. i hope you are feeling comfortable with the p3 news, should be lots of good times ahead.

[@ebossnz6838]

They have been for a while now. Wrath content is best imo. Even on classic. Every other wow content creator is trying to sell rested exp or just giving info we all ready know about. But this channel really puts in the work

[@NOHITJEROME]

i appreciate that a lot eboss. i will say i would normally disagree with you on the putting in work but getting 8 rogues together to prove that rogues can clear the raid was more than normal lmao. NOT pictured in this video is the several wipes we had on thermaplugg. do NOT run 8 rogues, I repeat, do NOT run 8 rogues

Big fan of your editing!

[@NOHITJEROME]

thanks a lot Tyler, appreciate you saying that. a week to go until phase 3, hope you are enjoying last minute (surprise..) prep

[@KingNikkz]

I love how you highlight the fact that a pug strat NEEDS to be simple. When talking pugs or average casual players : simple strat > best strat. I remember first lockout, my guild tried to do what the youtube videos of top guilds were doing. Except, without the gear, dps and player quality. Of course it wasn't working. We had to just accept some mecanics and simplify and then it was smooth sailing for the next 2 months.

[@NOHITJEROME]

simple is always better, my god the electrocutioner strats some groups were doing..and don't get me started on menagerie parse strats. it's a very good point you are making kingnikkz, i need to make sure not to forget it in sunken temple either

[@effiveonline4419]

Great video. I think it's also worth mentioning the positive attitude. The coms from the rogue raid were great and it had a lot to do with the way everyone stayed positive, even when they lagged and got knocked off by pummeler.

[@Gushik]

Nice video! 🤘🤘

[@NOHITJEROME]

thanks a lot gushik. 1 week to go..not remotely ready. hope your prep is going better than mine

[@Gushik]

@@NOHITJEROME in 1-2 week I will became a father. So my time is enough only to watch your video, not to play.

[@lejtan5997]

Im having a hard timing deciding on a alt. What do you think will be a good contender for best alt class at phase 3?

[@NOHITJEROME]

boomkin feels like the god for offhealing and supporting the raid if you want a nice easy spot. ranged hunters will be back big time and their boosting/goldmaking will continue to be unrivaled. what do you think about those?

[@lejtan5997]

@@NOHITJEROME Was leaning on the boomkin to start with, prob will get my hunter up aswell in the end! :D

[@Fitzsully]

man's editing is so good I almost watched the whole thing and Im in a guild that's cleared it every week.

[@NOHITJEROME]

yooo thanks a lot for saying that fitzsully. i was wondering if a raid guide at this point would be too late. i started it right before the p3 announcement. I learned something that will help in p3 big time though. the stacking of boomkins/spriest offheals will make ST extremely easy. any healchecks will be solved

[@jonathannickerson3994]

Nice video very informative

[@NOHITJEROME]

thank you jonathan. i hope with the p3 news you are excited and not disappointed. they seem to be rushing a bit but it will be a good time i think

[@davidwillis5019]

Another glorious video by the boy Jerome. Phase 3 HYPE - Revora

[@NOHITJEROME]

thank you very much revora. it is nearly time my friend. how much more prep do you need to do?

[@davidwillis5019]

@NOHITJEROME I've finished ALL prep! On both priest and druid. Now just waiting ....

[@NOHITJEROME]

ALL prep done? prequests my friend? have you picked your leveling route

[@unbenanntunbekannt]

Get into a raiding group for phase 3 now. You can spare a single evening a week for raiding at a set time. Have fun Pugging a 8-Boss 20-Man raid with Raid-ID

[@NOHITJEROME]

it will be very hard to pug 20 mans with a 1 week lockout. frankly those runs will be a HUGE gamble. i will do guild runs next phase until we know how hard the raid is. what about you?

[@Jediwarlock]

Good to see Jerome is putting Thermaplugg's news station to good use! :D

[@NOHITJEROME]

thank you very much mario. with the news about phase 3, how are you feeling? do you think the phase is being rushed?

[@bigbigzubra]

Getting full BIS this phase is way harder than P1. I still need the trinket, dagger, idol, ring and shoulders on my main.

[@NOHITJEROME]

yep im in the same position. running pugs and having an endless revolving door is the culprit imo. 10 people hitting every lockout and never rotating would have almost all full bis at this point i'd say.

[@seantheww]

these videos are fucking great jerome keep it up man

[@NOHITJEROME]

thanks a lot sean. appreciate you saying this, i will definitely keep going. p3 on the way, lots of new content coming. what are you thinking about the new announcements? does the phase feel like it's coming at a good time for you?

[@seantheww]

@@NOHITJEROME personally i love playing my alts so i think the phase is coming EXTREMELY early (and comparing to p1) but im excited and ready to game : D

[@NOHITJEROME]

i also love alts and i just got my hunter fully only only to see his gear become completely obsolete in like 5 days...ahh. just need to move faster and commit to making /maxing alts out faster next phase. i did way too much stalling over here

[@LilItaly]

as a shaman tank, i solo tank menagerie, i just throw on shield and molten blast instead of Lava lash and shield shield rune instead of dw spec. top parsing sham usually DW but idk if they tank everything or not.

[@NOHITJEROME]

Never seen solo tank menagerie. What do you do when the dragon is clapping you? Kite?

[@LilItaly]

@@NOHITJEROME kite/self heal with mealstrom/healthstone/pot. our resto druid is kinda clean tho i wont lie. so is there normally an OT tanking just the dragon? i have definitely died on a few pulls there

[@NOHITJEROME]

ya ot takes dragon, so 2 tanks and then you assign a healer to each tank. otherwise sometimes the tank gets clapped it feels like. i've literally never seen all 3 picked up by 1 tank. i imagine that is the #1 possible way to cleave/parse though and i wish my tanks did it

[@LilItaly]

@@NOHITJEROME I've definitely dropped in past weeks. LOL I tried to tank it DW one time and I'm thinking how the fuck do all these shaman do it lmao

[@stevo6178]

Doing gods work lol I run a pug raid every week on my alt. It’s a boomy and I just off heal and rarely have issues if we do it’s on the chain lightnings and someone just hard derping once and then we good

[@NOHITJEROME]

Boomkin offheal is the god of p2, wish I realized that the first week. you are singlehandedly carrying your groups and forcing them to the finish line. i almost think bringing 3 or 4 boomkins to sunken temple will be the sleeper genius move

[@stevo6178]

@@NOHITJEROME I would agree my main/guild raid I run a boomy/spriest/r shaman/disc and it feels super solid. Looking to recruit at least one more chicken going into next phase. I think Meele will be pumping though so will likely pick up a few

[@NOHITJEROME]

stevo i am in agreement melee will be pumping next phase, feels like bliz will just flip who was good last phase and who is good this phase. but i know even if boomkin/spriest arent top 3 dps the heals they provide will be game breaking. particularly boomkin imo, imagine having 4 or 5 brez and wild growth

[@stevo6178]

@@NOHITJEROME yea totally agree on that. Boomkin has a ton of value in general having WG just is insane. I kind of have thought they would nerf it, it’s viability in pvp is crazy too.

[@GG-jm6gi]

raid whats that? i dont use warcraft loggs so i dont get invites. 99% of groups require it.

[@NOHITJEROME]

hmm...i think you need to make your groups my friend. you are a lone wolf, an outsider without logs. but you can take control yourself, make your own kind of music.

[@paulswift5196]

I dunno… I only had 3 pugs go 5/6. The rest of the pugs I ran were 6/6 easy on discord.

[@MeriaDoKk23]

sure, can't even find a pug and I'm going to gear up... just let me buy gold at this point lmao

[@NOHITJEROME]

what class do you play meria? i am 100% sure we can find you a pug today to gear up. my BM hunter can get into groups, so can you

[@brenden1860]

I just dinged 40 cleared back to back days as a pug with no logs and we had 1 wipe but that was just unlucky double resist taunt

[@NOHITJEROME]

gonna be honest you got insanely lucky. or you carried the group. did you have multiple offhealers like druid and spriest? I assume it was a heavy meta comp

[@janiso12345]

My best and fastest run was with a pug, and my worst runs were with pugs. It's basically a coin flip 😂 Been raiding with my guild ever since

[@NOHITJEROME]

how fast was your best run with a pug? i've never..ever had a fast run with a pug. sometimes the coin flip does feel good but when you gamble and lose and get in a nightmare run..there's nothing worse

[@egemenozan5641]

I once had a sub 40 Gnome on a pug run where I invited ppl without even checking if they had prebis. Sometimes things just work out :P

[@NOHITJEROME]

sometimes things work out is good advice. sometimes you get a dream run and meet lifelong friends. other times the run fails at 3/6 and everyone reports each other and the run ends up on reddit. i'm too old to gamble now :D

[@LewReviews]

That's funny you take off heal DPS like boomie and sp that's exactly me and my friends do for pugs arcane mage is also a solid pick get them to tank heal and have a healer free to raid heal or visa versa

[@NOHITJEROME]

arcane mage is also great, the most insane thing i saw recently was that the #1 speedrun (onslaught run) didn't even have any healers for thermaplugg..it was pure spriest / offheals and shields. that trend should be accounted for in phase 3. 2 main healers + 3-4 spriest/boomkin. god setup

[@lordoritos001]

brooo insane montage again keep it up and please the raid is not too hard at all stop putting that out ppl are gonna believe you

[@ebossnz6838]

Our server is having no issue with pugs. I've been doing pugs in 2 alts and it's easy. No issues in groups.and logs ruin the game for alot. We just dont use logs and we clear every week in 40 mins or less. I dont get where all this hard game is coming from. Mind bogging

[@NOHITJEROME]

you pug 6/6 every time no questions asked? do you check logs extensively,? i find it hard to believe. i did 2 5/6 pugs recently and it forced me to re-evaluate my strategies entirely. feels very hard NOT to 5/6 in a random pug lately

[@ebossnz6838]

​@@NOHITJEROME finding the groups is easy. No checks. I'm in oce server. It's just not as big. 6/6. Idk if others log but I never do. The fight gets explained and then we do it. I've been lucky I guess. But havnt had issues like you have said. I stopped looking at logs when I was top dps most bosses on my shaman and getting a 65 and out range hunter was getting 98s and was 5th damage.

[@ebossnz6838]

​@@NOHITJEROME what you mean no questions? We get people that know the fights. Not complete idiots.

[@NOHITJEROME]

i just don't get how you can instantly tell if someone will know the fights. half the time in a pug we get a tank that somehow doesn't know the strategies. or a healer that has never healed. though things have gone better lately since I started investigating the tanks/heals more and bringing offheals@@ebossnz6838

[@NOHITJEROME]

maybe oce just has a better atmosphere? in NA we disband after TWO wipes. so the pressure is on to one shot stuff. if things don't look like a kill someone dips out and we never clear. as someone playing a ranged hunters with 70-80s btw i feel jealous of your parses. gonna just assume it's gear related and not feel bad. (lol)@@ebossnz6838

[@samgriess438]

4:00 been doing that since week 1 lol

[@NOHITJEROME]

nobody else does it..like clockwork every pug wipes at electrocutioner (or half the raid dies more commonly) and they all lose their buffs and thermaplugg becomes a nightmare. no logic to it ahh

[@samgriess438]

@@NOHITJEROME haha right! sadly everyone is worried about parses

[@NOHITJEROME]

parses are the stupidest thing in pugs where 0 of the strats are optimal to actually get a good parse. it's like everyone wants to just throw their lockout away in pugs. will probably see less of this in p3 though, parses will be less of a concern than just getting 20 people and actually clearing

[@lightner6924]

The raid is easy but rhe player base is terrible.

[@NOHITJEROME]

hmm.is that the players fault or the games fault? we stood in bfd and hit stationary targets for 4 months. now you have to find players able to target bombs..click buttons.. swap targets..it's not a skillset they developed

[@caramelthunder7356]

Sod is fun, but the gatekeeping just to do gnomer is dumb. The player base is the worst part of the game

[@NOHITJEROME]

agreed the gatekeeping is bad but it comes because everyone has little time to play. imagine coming home at 5pm and then you join a raid (a process that takes 40+min) and then..the raid wipes 8 times and disbands on the 4th boss

[@caramelthunder7356]

@NOHITJEROME ya I understand that frustration for sur biy unfortunately either my work its hard for me to put the time in to get to that point I haven't even been in gnomer unfortunately

[@NOHITJEROME]

completely get that, you have limited time and that puts you in a rough position. ST MIGHT end up being better, you can plan all week for 1 run and sign up in advance. if you play a desirable class you will be all set. (as for which classes those will be..we must wait and see)@@caramelthunder7356
