Sif 1 - Genesis [Feral Hybrid Druid] Classic WoW PvP Montage

[@ProtecttheLumber]

Wow, the attention this video has gotten has far exceeded our expectations! Thanks from all of to everyone that has shared and promoted the video and thanks to everyone who has enjoyed the video and given such lovely feedback. We're even more motivated and excited than ever to get more content out there for you all to enjoy!

[@giggitygoo21]

so you use 4/5 HoTW so you can have Nature's Grasp? great video btw

[@thevlaka]

can prolly go 5/5 and forego natures grasp as warstomp is more effective

[@haffahorse1538]

@@thevlaka Having that extra cc 1min. cooldown NG + 2min. cooldown on warstomp - is much better than 4% increase in damage/health. 1v2

The editing level is insane. So much details, like the Pepe face in searing gorge. Loved it

Never fight a Bear in an elevator.

That's a good rule to live by.

[@mtgajax]

Dude, all I can say is Thank You. I search youtube every day for relevant feral vids and most of them give terrible advice (I am no expert myself). This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I'm leveling my second toon (feral druid) and this is insanely helpful to see your thoughts and strats. Good luck out there man, keep it comin'

[@seanhaviland3448]

he's not feral spec. He's Hotw.

[@mtgajax]

@@seanhaviland3448 Sean Haviland most of the points are feral, as opposed to moonglow spec or swiftmend.

KEEP IT UP! I love how you show on screen what is going on and what you are thinking and doing. Gonna roll druid now!

[@SoProJared]

Seriously the best PVP video I’ve seen in years. Amazing work. So entertaining. Especially your fight with the rogue in searing gorge haha

[@mrmookypooky]

Nice video man, I was expecting to just pass over this video, but watched the whole thing. The elevator rogue fight was a cool one! Thanks and nice work!.

[@shkrosse]

Amazing play! Great to see more of your editing as well Ming!

[@haldred6]

Best classic druid pvp video I’ve seen so far even tho I am not that fun of your spec. Really enjoyable editing, loved how you handled the texts, the memes and good music choices. You clearly put in time to the character with both bs and enchant trinket and overall decent gameplay, just a small tip: use glimmering mithril insignia for priest fears too, for example at 07:53 it was clear the priest is gonna insta fear u. Other than that big bear is indeed iron tough.

[@ProtecttheLumber]

Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the constructive criticism! Where you mentioned I tried to dodge the priest fear by changing direction right as he dismounted hoping to create enough distance in the dismount global, but realistically if I thought I would have survived the four of them (figured I was dead for sure), you're absolutely right, I should have popped the fear immune. I have a few misplays throughout the video, but these were the most entertaining clips I captured throughout phase 2 wPvP. While I have many other 1v2+ clips, they just lacked the same level of suspense. When we were putting the video together it just didn't feel as good watching, for instance, a 1v3 where I made no mistakes but won without it really seeming close. I would appreciate your feedback though! Should we include more super clean 1v2+ plays in the next video, even when they look like fairly easy victories due to pre-abolishes and the like?

[@jordanmocny2690]

LMAOOO THAT ROGUE. As a rogue leveling an alt Druid now, that was amazing. Awesome music too

not at all man. Shadowmeld drinking/eating is honestly just as good situational

[@jonerikgreene1175]

I really miss it too, shadowmeld has been nice too

[@Mthompsonwv]

Nah, shadowmeld lets you avoid a fight but doesn’t really help you at all in pvp. War stomp is a million times better

[@DailyMatthew]

Addon list would be awesome! Great video, gg

[@ProtecttheLumber]

Thanks! These are the ones I primarily use: ClassicAuraDurations - Shows Timer for my debuffs above nameplates, I think new version also shows enemy buff duration? ClassicCastbars - Because knowing what spell is being cast is nice. Druid Bar Classic - Shows mana when in bear and cat form. HonorSpy - Tracks honor progress and predicts next week's rank ItemRack - Used to quick swap sets and bind item slots to a hotkey for use, i.e. helm, boots, OH. Leatrix Maps - Smaller map Leatrix Plus - Can enable auto dismount, but I use a macro now to cancel shifts and /cancelaura my mount after not being able to dismount during the death coil in this video. NeatPlates - Better nameplates, using the Quatre theme. NugEnergy - Energy/server ticker in the middle of the screen which will change to energy/rage as you shift. OmniCC - Tracks CDs and interfaces well with ClassicAuraDurations. Spy - Nerfed to 50 yard range and a little redundant with BGs out. TrinketMenu - Used to quick swap trinkets and notify when coming off CD.

I would love to know the Weakaura used for your Druid resources. Best druid PvP video i've seen so far!

[@ProtecttheLumber]

I actually don't use Weakauras in this video. I use Druid Bar Classic for my mana when in bear and cat form and the energy ticker in the middle is NugEnergy which you can set up to change which resource it's tracking as you shift.

[@ZuBoosh]

Ah I see. I'm using Druid Bar Classic but I cant see my Mp5 like you have it. You have it looking tidy. Rewatching the video right now lol

[@chazmashino452]

Curious is that a max rank rejuv on your X button in caster form as well as 3 and do you use a cancel form macro to swap forms?

[@ProtecttheLumber]

The Rejuv on X is a Rank 1 primarily for auto devouring warlocks before NSing, but also priests and shamans who like to spam dispel in 1v1s and oom themselves. As for shifting, I have a macro to cancel all forms and mount which I use in combat to cancel form to caster and all my other shifts are macro'd to cancel all other forms and shift into the one I want. For example, my bear macro: #showtooltip /cancelform [stance:2] [stance:3] [stance:4] /cast Dire Bear Form Which cancels all forms except bear, so if I hit it again while in Bear I shift out of bear. For FCing though I use a powershift macro for Travel so it takes me out and puts me right back in.

[@Astralpapi]

I just got to lvl 60 and your video has definitely inspired me to follow a similar Heart of the Wild build but how do raid with this spec? I don’t think I would be adequate as a dps, tank, or healer. Maybe when I have the gear but not when I’m trying to get the gear.... any help would be awesome

[@ProtecttheLumber]

I tank as deep Feral for raiding. I was MTing for a while, but warriors are better than me on threat now so I'm OTing. MC is a bit of a joke so you could run this spec and either heal or OT, but it's definitely not optimal. If you want to get the best possible HOTW gear, I'd personally recommend tanking. Taladril wrote a great guide and has great resources you could find pretty easily with a google search if you're interested in doing that as well.

[@dma634]

Which addon is that in between the player and target bars? It looks like some sort of energy bar. I'm a HOTW druid pvper, and I need it.

[@johanberube3490]

Great vid and great druid plays out there. What nameplate addons or weakaura do you use?

You have fallen into my trap sifiosah

[@mosquito6581]

Great video. Just wondering if you had to change your spec to raid to get that gear? and if you did what spec did you go?

[@thevlaka]

if youre gonna tank/offtankk then make sure you put 5/5 in feral instinct for threat. if youre going to do some healing aswell try get reflection and tranquil spirit while working towards natures swiftness.

@@ProtecttheLumber also 1 thing, u need to work on ur abolish here are some tips, after u warstomp root or heal spam abolish cause rogues like to blind then, if ur kiting and they pop sprint abolish that's a clear sign of a potential blind, and lastly as soon as ur low or u are chasing someone down pre abolish then feral charge in, if ur chasing them that is, if ur low then when u exit form make sure to abolish cause most rogues will want to blind or gouge there... just a few tips, great vid

[@Slythey]

I look at the majority of these fights and know that the outcomes would have been more decisive if you were 7/13/31 Your spec's damage gain is minimal in comparison to the difference in healing ability and longevity. Using a full pvp armor set this is especially true. The damage difference of low to full feral investment is minimal compared to the survivability and longevity you gain in resto.
