GUARDIAN IS BROKEN? +11 NO HEALER Stonevault (Guardian Druid POV)

[@zephyrindark]

I would be very happy if you guys subscribed so I can get my channel monetized. It would be tremendous support right now, which I would greatly appreciate. Otherwise, if you want to hang out and chit-chat, you can always come over to www.twitch.tv/zephyrindark where I try to stream daily. And my discord server where we can talk about all kinds of things - discord.com/invite/b74d42Ngu4

Subbed, liked, and commenting. You deserve some algorithm traction. These are the kind of fun m+ videos no one else is making yet. The one with 3 ret paladins gives me class envy. I’ll just keep praying the tanks pull enough for my numbers to keep up on DH. Can I ask you something about m+? If someone wasn’t enjoying their class… say DH. Are there any melee dps classes that people tend to prefer partying up with? I’ve been leaning toward Ret,Dk, or assa rogue.

[@zephyrindark]

@@PoliticalyOK 🥹 Thank you so much. I'll make more crazy, super funny content in the future! I've got many ideas. Regarding your question, I would say DK, Enhance Sham & Rogue are currently very good picks. DK might be the most rewarding, tankiest & pug friendly one. Enhance is the utility king, but everyone takes Resto sham so it's not a big deal. I believe that Ret Pala is the strongest pug spec, though. Especially Tauren if you want more CC. It just has so many things that help your team live, the utility is crazy good and it currently does competitive damage. Downside is - pugs might have the belief that Ret isn't meta or isn't very useful, so they won't take it.

[@vyrious7035]

Love watching these even though I am starting to lean towards respeccing from my trusted Resto Druid because of this...

[@Michaelkayslay]

It's ridiculous to think. Groups wipe doing +5 with a healer

[@zephyrindark]

Comparison is the thief of joy

@@zephyrindark I'm vegan . Don't be mean to me

[@alcavil421]

I don’t get it either, I’m healer and have wiped on level 7 or 5

[@immodsr9348]

@@alcavil421 it has almost nothing to do with the level/tier of the dungeon and all to do with the skill of the players doing them. Most of the good players that interrupt bad stuff and don't stand in shi.t advanced past the lower tiers after the first few weeks.

Meanwhile Brewmasters are figting for their lives in a +7 with a healer. Crazy you can do this though

[@chrisroberts5300]

Idk, 7s feel comfy on brew to me

[@immodsr9348]

@@chrisroberts5300 but not without a healer? :)

[@Rameus]

Awesome run, what is your gear, are you wearing tier? Also when you start a huge pull, what is the cool down or cooldowns you’re using right before the pull to stay alive?

[@zephyrindark]

I usually always start the pull with Barkskin. If I don't have Barkskin, then Rage of the Sleeper. Combine that with either Lunar Beam or Bristling Fur to max out Ironfur stacks in the opener. If I'm using Incarnation, I always use Barkskin because I'll have it back up by the time Incarnation ends (thanks to the talents I'm running). www.wowhead.com/ptr-2/talent-calc/druid/guardian/elunes-chosen/DAQBAUFAiFQFERRalQFBUOVEURikBVFVBQQVCQAEFVVUCEQ raider.io/characters/eu/kazzak/Zephyrinbark

[@yohanleger8016]

yooo, awesome. What is your weak aura for the tracking of rage and ironfur ? is so clean !

[@zephyrindark]

Nounours weakaura, and thanks!

[@aksu4940]

health bar nameplates are so cool, how can I customize like this

[@zephyrindark]

They're default, I'm not using Plater atm. Have yet to fix my UI :D

[@Guilherme-qk9so]

you make me want to try tanking. this looks insane. i can't heal a stonevault 11 as resto druid and here you are just cruising through without a healer! sick! are you going to try city of threads? :)

[@zephyrindark]

We will do all the dungeons, yeah :D

[@Delta_Hawk]

I really don't get how you go to 12-13-14 ironfurs, on some pulls.. no matter what i do on dummies i can never get that much oO i usually run about 2-3 max 7 if i proc convoke. Is it the gear ? i'm 610, the talents ? the group synergies ? can someone give me an hint ?

[@sidewinder8520]

Haste and probably talents

[@sdfds1973]

@@sidewinder8520 idd. but also hard to spam I youse scroll weel. haste then verse then crit mastery

[@astigae54]

You generate rage when getting hit. In a dungeon when you do a big pull you can spam ironfur since its off gcd. You can't do the same on dummies, because you generate rage only from your own spells.

[@zephyrindark]

Bristling Fur is a talent with a 45 sec CD that generates rage based on damage taken. It's extremely good. Other than that, haste.

[@ai_serf]

it's the comp improving CDs and casting speed. i always do more DPS in mythics then I do on training dummies because of my party buffing me.

[@AirBnBrush]

Hi! I really enjoy your videos. Im learning alot. How did everyone dispel their curse in the beginning? I know you dispelled warlock but how did the paladins do it??

[@MogrotGames]

Any dispell work ,so yes paladins etcetera.depoison,decurse,mass distels,popsong cleanse totem,..

[@hizzlefix1781]

Well 2 paladins is huge support to.

[@marcospena1993]

Muito muito bom seus vídeos parabéns, se poder faça um vídeo de guia por favor como tank de druida

[@franciscocarreiroamado8242]

Nice! Would be nice if ud get something to show the abilities u using 💪

[@jmorgz1]

this is sick! does this only work when you have two rets or can it work with any comp?

[@zephyrindark]

Hmm, it really depends. Rets are the tankiest and they can consistently off-heal. They provide the biggest defensive boost to the team with great utility. Shamans are utility kings, really good as well, they can sustain themselves perfectly. Moving onto squishier specs - Spriest & Aug Evoker, both providing a lot to the team, but relying heavily on cooldowns to make a great impact during the window of their cooldowns - their self-healing isn't amazing outside of CDs. Then there's DK, the tankiest spec there is, just not great at handling rot damage. There's also Warlock - quite important for the 3 magic dispel dungeons. And finally, I would say Mage is good for nuking down bosses and they are quite tanky with the amount of defensive CDs they have. DK & Mage aren't specs you really need, but they work. Playing without a healer isn't that simple, though (in high keys). We have to optimize our stats and talents differently to benefit our healing and mitigation more than our damage. I'll be posting a guide soon in the next patch 11.0.5

[@vitinhoaps]

@@zephyrindark Isn't warrior a lot tank too? Even more then ret?

[@WilsoYUN0DI3]

Earnt my sub for sure. Wish i could do this on my dk lol.

[@zephyrindark]

I have yet to play BDK but I really want to limit test it for no healer keys. If Guardian gets nerfed, it's going to be the next play.

[@WilsoYUN0DI3]

@zephyrindark I've heard you can get 90.6 on self heal parse in NP about 500k hps if you got lucky with some leach gear you might be able to push it up

[@hamednajafi3147]

Fuck yeah bear tank players build different

[@owycatlover]

whats your addon for custom dmg font? :o

[@zephyrindark]

Nameplate Scrolling Combat Text but it's a lot of screen clutter. I would rather have my ability damage pop up on the side with spell icons. There's another addon for that.

[@enzosm]

Is he who is healing the rest of the group? SV is a crazy with a lot of aoe dmg pulls and dots.

[@zephyrindark]

The ret palas are. I sometimes proc AoE healing.

[@mmonkeybone]

this is going to be a repeat of last time some one made no healer work now we are going to have nerfs slamed down ......

[@zephyrindark]

I was the prot pally that made no healer work in season 1 & 2 Dragonflight and yeah, nerfs did come slamming down multiple times hahahah I mean, in the end, it is what it is. I'm just enjoying the game playing it the way I want to. If people are unhappy, then it's blizzard's philosophy to blame.

[@mmonkeybone]

@@zephyrindark So true, there philosophy is smash whats good instead of bring everyone up as equal, sadly i only play druid so that nerfs going to hurt.

[@Gigachad204]

Why does a great player like you not have platers

[@zephyrindark]

Imma fix my UI now

[@gregsimard-ol1hr]

I hate you for this gonna get ret nerfed

[@sdfds1973]

you will get a sub. as a druid tank my self i hate you!(not realy just jelly) am just a potato vs you. but you did evo that was cool was supriced to the evo did quite disent dps to. 11 stonevault thats impressive and no healer its a 20 in my mind. one suggestion do some guides strategy stuff like that. tink you can grow channel your funny and good gamer. but one ting if stone vault its hardest. do a siege of boralus(tink its good challange with no healer) its 2 packs i can se will be super dangerus shedders (Singing Steel) plallys can shield but you need to have tons of self heal and cd might also pallys give u bubble then use a macro to remove it. then the aoe from the big guys can be scary if the adds dont get nuuked down. but noting spesial 3 boss adds around shoud not be a problem if they help to remove poison might be bit anoying this week. last boss can be bit scary can hit you for a train but you can heal upp i guess rest shoud not be a problem.

[@zephyrindark]

Thank youu! I very much appreciate your words. I will make guides, definitely. And more crazy content, too, like no healer raid and other crazy ideas. Siege of Boralus is very doable, we just need a Warlock for magic dispel on last boss. I will post all dungeons without a healer on +12 soon hopefully and then make a "no healer guide" explaining everything in detail.
