Love the format. It’s much more helpful showing good and bad examples and explaining it all.

[@Tom-no7go]

Hey I like your edit style, especially the pause and review rly make this video even better. Thanks for the video!

[@jisc5454]

Love your content man. A while a go on Reddit I requested you this type of videos for wotlk when you were doing the tbc one's and here it is !

[@calebragatz]

This is such a great vid and really shows how at the highest levels arena all comes down to cooldown usage and damage foresight. Love it earpugs, looking forward to the rest of this series!

[@TheAshanddad]

Love the format and information!

[@Nihoolious]

I play this comp and it's still super helpful. Great work!

[@YoDirk]

Awesome stuff! Can't wait for the next one =)

Nice video, looking forward to more comps!

[@XPISTOS-ANESTH]

Hello mate i just found your channel and im really pleased i hope you making a video how to survive as a disc when you have a melee dps such as dk/warrior mainly in 2s because most of the games are playing against are healer/melee dps. Thanks again for the effort you put

[@Earpugs]

Warriors you can’t survive you need to get peeled. DK’s you need to bounce prayer of mending on your teamates and get full penances or at least 1-2 ticks and you will live.

[@n00beh50]

Great Video! Im currently playing spriest/mage and am having lots of problems trying to live against rogues/ferals. They just do so much damage. Cant wait for more videos to come.

[@Earpugs]

Yeah season 5 is the scariest rogue feral will ever be, each season you can more spell power for healing and more resil making cheese comps like double stealth almost unviable.

[@felixgohler3533]

Very helpful explanation! Short question aside, do you have a vid covering your interface or a list of the addons you are using? Keep going!

[@Earpugs]

Thank you, heres a video covering my entire UI kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJfbn5pmrK-Grqs

[@combatwombatDAZA]

Thanks, these are amazing, holy pally warrior pleaase!

[@terryblack3625]

Hey Earpugs, very nice and good explained videos. Thank you for that quality content! Im quite new to arena and i have a question. I didnt understand the opener part. Did u said the ideally opener is that they are sapping the one who they arent going to kill or they are going to kill? In ur loss example its the opposite right? They sapped u and were going to kill u. But in the explain u put an arrow on the mage like they are going to sap him. Hope u can help me out to understand this. Thank u so much for that video.

[@Earpugs]

Thank you, yes SPR wants to sap 1 target and then kill the other one in the opener with all their CD’s. They usually want the sapped target to trinket so they can full blind them into a half sap or half fear while landing a kill on their teammate. It’s pretty much just cc arena1 kill arena2 or vice versa

[@terryblack3625]

@@EarpugsTy Earpugs for ur answer. Helps me a lot to understand this more.

Can your next video please be on how to counter disc priest and feral? Thank you! Good videos.

[@TiaanHugovanderMerwe]

enjoyable

[@viaroka2625]

Hi Earpugs. This video kind of hurt me because such videos was exactly what I was planning to do in TBC, before real life matters pushed me to quit for almost a year. Sadly I am only a tbc-guy, and a wotlk noob (not really, but not that great), so I lost my chance. I wish you the best.

[@HasXXXInCrocs]

This was great! How about warrior h pal next?

[@Earpugs]

It's on the list!

[@milesd947]

I'd love to see Hpal/war vs Disc/Mage

[@bon_donson]

Pls go into more detail about how classes do their dmg. It would be helpful for me to know how sp dmg works like obviously dots are painful but wtf is improved devouring plague? How does rogue dmg work outside of dance

[@Earpugs]

I explain how every class in the game deals damage in arena here kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZC3coyJi5ysjJY I will try to go over how they land kills better next time

[@SeeWizzy]

what addon shows the shield health on the right of your character?

[@Earpugs]

It’s a weakaura called nanshield wotlk

[@AntisnakeYT]

what is that arena unitframe addon? its not sarena or gladius? looks clean

[@Earpugs]

I just use the default UI for unit frames, you might be referring to BigDebuffs

[@goldenmemes51]

def do ele sham next or frost mage

[@az9498]

I've never heard anyone mention this comp but I've been wanting to try Boomie/Ret pally. I feel like it could be stronger than Boomie/Rogue but maybe not cause Blind is pretty strong.

[@Earpugs]

Boomie ret can actually farm a lot of double DPS since they can dampen pretty hard

[@SharpHomeServices]

bro your videos are the best content for wotlk arena hands down. i hope you blow the fuck up dude u deserve it!

[@woojin1803]

Well played. What is name of amount for shield WA?

[@Earpugs]

Nanshield Wotlk

[@rogeeshmee]

Please how to beat hunter+preg... driving me nuts

[@neontrain]

really struggling vs both sp/rogue and rogue mage in 2s playing marksman/feral. as hunter it just feels like no matter what I do i die every opener through deter.

[@Earpugs]

SPR eats hunters so that is hard for sure. Make sure your feral is instantly pouncing that rogues opener. Rogue mage though you guys should be clapping the mage in 2 globals. They will always be fishing for your trinket so they can full blind you so be aware of that.

[@zzy365]

What is the addon for party frames?

[@ericrowe2533]

so when is how to kill a DK coming out? ;)

[@jaimonji5503]

Hey this comp always kills my DK to mortal poison and i waste too much time dispelling it what can i do?

What comp are you playing and which class are you?

[@jaimonji5503]

@@Earpugs hpal / udk

[@Earpugs]

@@jaimonji5503 You just need to live their opener while putting your diseases on everything and you almost can't lost. IBF the opener AMZ the go AMS if totally needed, dot the rogue dot the priest garg etc. freedom dk when needed and yeah you should dominate SPR.

[@hahaureadmyname]

In the second match, did the priest make a mistake cleaning you instead of dealing damage?

[@Earpugs]

No, they should take my buffs off because dispelling my shield is the same as dealing 5500 damage

[@chrisscott7314]

just had a 10 minute game against you and your mage friend. that shit was impossible haha. gg dude - tonytotems

[@MannYSJ1080p]

How does an offensive fiend work? Doesn't it just give you mana back?

In wotlk shadowfiend does a fair amount of damage as well as give mana back.

probably not, in the future it will get covered though

Jees, that rogue missplayed, he had the rogue in the full blind yet he didn't cloak over the cheap shot and priest silence over the kidney.

Man your arena vids are the best but very sparse for wotlk

[@Earpugs]

More to come don't worry

[@sjdodge123]

How to counter mage/priest

[@Earpugs]

On the list!

[@michalsavel1219]

Step one, play death knight, done.

[@atbmts6]

You say you’re supposed to hold your trinket as long as possible but then go on to say your rogue is pretty much forced to trinket the very first sap lol? Isnt that the scenario in every game? Very rare the rogue wont get that first sap off on your teammate…

[@Earpugs]

There are tons of teams that the DPS can avoid the sap, DPM is one of them for example which is the first clip

[@nibana]

This video actually helped us (SP/Rogue) have more awareness of our weaknesses and possible counter play but I swear you just have to be a unholy DK to destroy us lol, I have no idea how to play against them, the sheer pressure is insane, they can just AMS my dots and IB my rogue's go, they've got slow, grip, rot, gargoyle madness, ghoul stun, so we always try to go healer and cc the DK, it feels better but even then it's pretty hard (stuck around 1400 atm, solely facing Hpal DK or Hpal/Rdruid War). it's like I'm playing a disc everytime with how much I must off heal and can never reset.

[@somtoth]

This guy says to the very top but he didn’t hit glad once the entirety of tbc…I get he’s high enough to give explanations and break downs but you can’t misguide viewers that you are among the top tier

[@Earpugs]

Check my title at the end of S5 and let me know what it says.

[@titovicius12]

Lol, Play op comp too. wrong title, explain how to counter Spr with ret+boomkin :D

[@Earpugs]

Freedom the kidney rep the priest hoj the rogue double trinkets, rogue cloaks, kill next go. Ret's counter any double DPS

[@titovicius12]

What about fears? Too much ccs. We dont have silences and so on. Boomi gets fked by almost every comp

[@Earpugs]

@@titovicius12 reroll if you don’t like the class but boomies are VERY strong when paired with the right team.

[@Sebastian-mr1ik]

can you do a guide on countering arms hpal as RM?

[@Earpugs]

I don't play rogue or mage sorry, I will be making a guide on how to counter war pal though
