[@DivinitasJanus]

Quality vid man. Greatly appreciative of the adherence to your subject prep and sound quality. Little light on some details, but I'm no in any way confused or lacking vital info.

[@uni4rm]

well, thats interesting. Paladins can start doing solo clears through all the branches of SM in their 50's, as it was a common tactic for making money or saving up for the mats needed for the mount quest. Obviously, not mass pulling the instance. With the instance cap, it isn't a big deal if it takes a little longer anyway.

[@Scottejaye]

Great stuff mate

[@ViKtoReinKILL]

This is so satisfying to watch. Well done on putting this together. As a prot paladin I salute you 👍

[@TheTandoor]

Thanks, I've done this farm quite a bit on paladin and didn't actually think it would work on warrior.

[@scott917]

Go into Scarlet Cathedral, hit the Boss with ranged DPS, then run straight back to the front corridor and all the mobs will come to you. And I mean straight to the corridor, jump down the waterfall in the fountain. Also this instance is a good place to raise your fishing and not get ganked. Clear the instance and fish in the fountain. at least you could back in the day.

[@TheMongobruder]

Took your advices and managed to get 5-6 groups down. However after killing those packs my shield is halfway broken. Pretty annoying and I can't believe it would be lucrative in the long term if I have to run back to Lights Hope or even set up a repair bot all the time. Other than that, everything works fine just as you described. Good work.

[@TheTandoor]

I am finding that I go through 10g worth of shields per clear, and on skeram repair bots are gold positive to drop on cooldown so I simply drop a repair bot every clear. This 40g/hr on repairs only seems worth it while boosting as the g/hr is much higher than just farming the raw gold.

[@vaels5682]

Nice! That set bonus is absolutely nuts for this

I had no idea warriors could aoe farm. Great video

[@BarakGage]

I love this

[@slapimtakis]

Actualy "When struck in combat" items are realy good for warrior. Just before farm test how much dmg mobs do, and then lower your block value to a point where you get a partial block. That means every time you block, youll get 1 direct damage and it will proc "When struck in combat" items. It will make your run faster and youll heal your self.

[@jensjensen7504]

how would you do this in practice?

[@slapimtakis]

@@jensjensen7504 Shield block value works 1 to 1. So if lets say you have 400 SBV it means, that every time when you block you absorb 400 dmg. when you go to low lvl instances, lets say mobs do 100 dmg, so with your 400SBV you will absorb all damage when blocked. So simply drop your SBV to 99. It means every time mob hits you and you block, it caunts as a partial block, cause your SBV is lower then mobs attack. It means even tho you block, you recieve 1 damage from mob and rest 99 are absorbed by your SBV. So that 1 damage can proc "When struck in combat" items

[@jensjensen7504]

​@@slapimtakis ty, i did understand the mechanics of it. My question was more in the nature of "how would you calculate this for a particular instance" :)

Thank you for showing me this. Because I’ve been wanting to lvl a play for AoE farming gold but I’m just NOT interested in leveling a pally…. I’m having fun leveling the warrior so far and I just got bored of the pally quickly due to Pally being my first main back in MoP. Anyways 👍🏻👍🏻Thanks for the video

[@coblenski1]

Hey dude, would it be possible to do a quick 70 upgrades template so we can see what gear you are using? Thanks!

[@arij177]

Great video Tandoor. I am finding that I need multiple Sporeggar shields, my first one breaks before I can finish the run. I think repair bots make this pretty low profit at least on my server, so I think multiple shields are a must unless you run back to LH every run. Did you encounter durability issues? How many pulls were you doing? Edit: I go through about 1.37 shields per run. I can clear this in about 20 min, so 3 runs per hour, would need about 4-5 shields.

[@evsanger]

Is it worth enchanting the Revenger with Fiery Blaze instead of Battlemaster? Has the effect: Enchants a weapon to have a 15% chance to inflict 9 to 13 Fire damage to all enemies within 3 yards.

[@Emilgod]

Aha was talking about aoe farming and predicted warriors can in theory do the same thing as paladins and glad to see it being true in reality aswell :P , about the damage taken up to X mechanics , im pretty sure it reduces the damage taken pre reduction calculation so , if the mob does 100 dmg pre calcs, it goes to 80 , then gets reduced by your armor, reduced dmg taken etc... but up to reduced damage taken by X also seems to have some kind of diminishing returns formula not letting you hit 0 damage taken so meh

[@TheTandoor]

Pre armor is exactly what I was talking about. Using the mob doing 100 damage and armor cap is a very simple calculation to show how we only get 25% of the value from the earthen elixir. On the left we have pre armor, and on the right we have the earthen elixir extracted out using the distributive properties of multiplication. (100 - 20) * 0.25 = (100 * 0.25) - (20 * 0.25) Here we can see an armor capped earthen elixir provides 5 damage reduction (20 * 0.25) = 5 As far as a DR to stop it from reducing damage to 0, that I have not tested.

[@ZeegersTV]

Good stuff dude! Keep up the solid work :)

[@danielkerber8667]

This could be used for boosting quite a few levels too.

[@TheTandoor]

Warriors will definitely be capable of boosting come TBC. If they fix pathing in instances then warriors and paladins might be the only major boosting classes. Paladins will probably always aoe farm faster than us, but anything they can do we will probably be able to do as well.

Great video but I was wondering if you can show a full strat UD clear that you would do from start to finish and rough GP/HR? Thanks again for sharing this!

[@TheTandoor]

I had a timer on my sped up run showing a 20min clear, most pallies i've seen doing it in p1 gear are about 12-15min clears. I don't want to guess on g/hr though since pservers have inaccurate drop rates. I'm not sure how long it would take me to do the remainder of the UD side up through baron though. Prot warriors may also have an easier time doing the rest of live side as we don't care about the mana burn.

PFL is the way to go over most LVL 70 shields. Since you won't get full block.

Very nice and fun video! Already working on t4 pieces. Is it possible to see all your gear somewhere?

Once i have enough to replicate this I will show. This farm requires 100% avoidance or its just too slow to be worth it and my gears not quite there yet.

[@sidho582]

Yeah the grind is real. I tried this with 2 piece t4 (head + hands)in SM yesterday and that worked fine. Im missing pants from curator and chest from nightbane/t4 and some good bracers. Once i get that ill try to go after ZF then strat :) great fun! Edit: Also how do you calculate avoidance vs a lower lvl mob? Is there a constant scaling factor like weapon skill at 58 vs your own avoidance at 70?

[@TheTandoor]

@@sidho582 Correct. It's something like 100-((yourLevel - mobLevel) *0.8). So if the mob is 58, you only need 90.4 on the character sheet.

[@TheTandoor]

That icon is the t4 2p set bonus, it has a 25% chance to proc on parry with no icd. Most of my damage comes from cleave, sporegar shield and shield spike

[@Shurtwow]

is it possible to do this without the tier 4 parts?

[@christianna4404]

This

[@johnnysomark7783]

I wonder how much easier it would be using that sword for aoe farming over a spell power sword as a paladin...

[@ChiefFalque]

Depends on how gear-reliant you want to be. It's only good if it significantly changes dtps, meaning very high avoidance gear. I have nearly all Phase 1 avoidance gear on my pala; with that I can reach 86.4% avoidance, which is a little under 1% less than what he has in the video. This would put me at 116 spell damage. This would double the time it takes for me to kill mobs compared to my regular farming set. Yes, I'd be night-unkillable, but that doesn't help the farming all that much. It also means you need to bring more shields, since all shields suffer durability loss from blocking attacks. With that set equipped, when 2-pulling strath, I'd be taking ~dtps. The sword heals for about ~30 hps. So the sword would double my survivability, which is pretty huge. But then again, why? Why would you want to over-gear so much? The point of the farm is to kill the enemies, not get hit as many times as possible without dying. You might conceivably 1-pull strath, but it would take as long as 3-pulling with regular farming gear would, or even longer. You risk the shield breaking during the pull etc. Currently I can do 2 full clears before I have to go repair my shield and vendor all the stuff in my inventory. Using this over a spell damage sword would in other words be 1: far more costly 2: far more demanding on gear 3: probably slower 4: less risky(if your shield holds) 5: more comfortable 6: probably more fun :P (while getting hit a lot isn't the point of farming, it's fun to look down on those pitiful, useless mobs trying to harm you)

[@jean-sebastiensimard1869]

Curious as well, also I'm wondering why skullflame is not good for warriors

[@TheTandoor]

Warriors with avoidance cap wont take melee damage and that means skullflame can't proc for us. Even if SFS could proc, we have 0 spell damage so it does very little for us anyways. The engi shield only requires 1 block per second to do maximum aoe dps, where the PLG requires 1 block per mob every 5s to do max dps. The problem with PLG is that we dodge/parry/miss so much that our stacks often fall off of some of the mobs.

Druids cannot mass pull in the same way because Paladins and Warriors have block and can use trinkets and food for AOE that have a larger hit amount. A druid is limited to thorn-type damage.

The moment pallys were able to cast avengers shield point blank, they were monsters and both aoe and single target threat, and holy shield made them uncrushable after an update. Once people realized they were uncrushable AND they had far better threat, then the tables turned as the T6 attunement removal patch hit. Now? People know this going in, and we have 2.4.3 class balance changes from the start. Warriors are going to have a rough time getting a guild as a tank if you aren't already in one right now.

You are right, only the elite guilds will refuse to bring warriors, but think of how it is in current classic... it isn't like it was back then where we have mostly casual/semi casual guilds to raid with... they are a rarity. Almost every guild on myzrael and atiesh (servers I played on) required people to bring 100g+ worth of consumables as early as MC, and many either condemned you or outright punished you for not having at least one world buff. You think that mentality is going to magically change in TBC? It is merely going to get shifted away from world buffs and consumables over to class/spec choice.

How about endgame gear, or the progression towards it?

[@BlackBartTX]

Is this footage from the beta or pservers? If it's from the beta, how do you handle the explody corpses?

[@TheTandoor]

This is pserver, but it also has the explody corpses. You can block/dodge/parry it on pservers. It looked like you could on beta as well after watching graysfordays stream it so I'm not worried about it. You can also kill the cadavers that spawn very quickly by just adding them into a /tar /cleave macro.

this is badass

i need the name of this bluegrass song please

[@michaeld3546]

Id love an updated wotlk version of this

[@TheTandoor]

I didn't see this before, but it should be very easy to do now in wotlk as we do so much more damage and have a heal

[@bretthogan5805]

so you can make half as much as a paladin and 1/4th as much as a mage if you want :D jk great vid man

Do they let you use thunderclap in defensive stance in BC? I forgot if that was a bc or wrath thing.

[@TheTandoor]

yes we can use tclap in dstance

I believe it was capped to 5 targets though

[@Gijs9114]

if the engi shield ''breaks'' is it just durability ? or completely obsolete

[@TheTandoor]

just durability, you can repair it

[@Gijs9114]

@@TheTandoor thx

[@Gedies92]

Do you need multiple shields for this strat? My shield broke in 2 SM runs

[@TheTandoor]

Yea I use something like 5 shields per run

[@kevintyrrell7409]

@@TheTandoor But which of the shield types specifically? 5 Force Reactive Disks or 5 Sporegarr Shields? Also Shield Spike or 15 Shield Block Rating?

[@Half_Finis]

Any chance you'd do one of these for scholo?

[@Derekparra]

In TBC classic I got 100+% avoidance to lvl40 mobs (SM cath) and I did a run (1pull full cath) I cleared it without much issues. The problem I am facing is that my shield is 32/100 dura in 1 pull. However I do not have 2p t4 yet and the absorb might help with that?

[@TheTandoor]

No, we will have to overcome the shield problem. currently I am using 2-4 shields to clear strath and im just eating the repair costs.

[@TheTandoor]

I recommend getting multiple sporegarr shields as they are not unique and are quite cheap

[@Derekparra]

@@TheTandoor Guess ill be getting some Mushrooms tonight :)

[@Zs0ltika94]

@@TheTandoor hey, I thought u disappeared! Could u make a recommended list or gear to get? I'm struggling to reach the avoidance needed for strat, seems out of reach even though I have pretty solid avoidance gear (non raid gear tho). Or just show me what ur using? :) Would appreciate it

[@TheTandoor]

@@Zs0ltika94 It's not doable without raid gear. I was planning to make another video once I finished my gearset, but here is what I plan to use for it: seventyupgrades.com/set/fP3gzBycFxWFooUug8ESsW
