The Tank Ragequit and Jumped Off | Mastering Every Role - RDPS Ep. 4

[@TakinaArpg]

The sheer poetry of just yeeting yourself into oblivion i would say you really encapsulated wow in 30 minutes

[@stinna3000]

This is the realest content out there😭😂 great video🔥

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

Hahaha, thanks! I'll keep them coming :D

[@xalexpalex]

I need the selfesteem of that druid joining your group while having absolutely no clue what to do or how to do his role. When I was new and really bad at the game I actively stayed away from high end group-conent becasue I knew my limitations. Great commentary this run though, I have to agree! The messiest runs make for the best commentaries funnily enough!

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

I think they got pulled into this mess by their Healer friend insisting it would be fine. Pretty sure that run was a lesson learned, it must have sucked for them

[@jameswright4640]

I really love these videos - I get a ton out of them. You are also awesomely entertaining! Really enjoying the series and look forward to seeing more!

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

Thank you so much for the kind words, I'll keep the vids coming!

[@thatgirl4831]

Pugging keys end of season looks EXACTLY like this haha. Especially around the 6 range 👌

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

An examplary run I guess :D

[@stefanossepsas7985]

This was hilarious and very entertaining. Good commentary bro

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it (:

[@polearm123]

Tbh these kinds of runs are much more enjoyable to watch than easily-timed keys

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

Part of me (only a part) wishes I got them more often, but usually when the keys are going this badly someone just peaces out early. Maybe people are sticking through these hellish runs because of Blizzard's new stance on leaving keys early being bannable

[@jamesjohnsoniii8068]

4 curse dispells, one person dispelling curses, ya love to see it (commented this 10sec before you said as much in video lol)

[@Cuplathings]

L2P. In the meanwhile: 6 kicks, zero dispells and a big mouth :)

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

Yep, biggest mouth on the most oblivious players usually :D The best thing is, when they died, the healer actually almost managed to heal through 1 or 2 stacks of the curse trying to save them AND they had 3 defensive CD's up :D

[@tjf73]

watching the 6 grim batol, its funny how much more thought you, as a dps, is putting more thought into the key than any of the other players lol. I think you'd just have an easier time in higher keys where the players are thinking on your same level

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

It helps that I play every role, so I know what sucks in every dungeon from every perspective, hahaha

[@Cuplathings]

Jesus FREAKING Christ. I am 23 minutes in and I can't. I just....WHAT?! WHAT????? WHY????? Where did you find these people :D with love and respect of course, but what???

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

The usual for a TWW S1 PUG honestly :P

[@noeyedeer553]

Your insult, chef kiss

[@Sadreath]

Vlad: I have no Valor stones Also Vlad: Like 5 Valor Stones tokens in the bags waiting to be opened As for crafting 619. I recently started a new character and you get like 5 runed crafting items for free on an alt if you have the rep. Makes for a pretty fast start once you get the shards going

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

I swear I always forget to use those things, they manage to survive until I'm near done gearing the char and they barely matter anymore...

[@Real_Beyoga]

Just got here, time to wait for my "Thingy thing and stuffy stuff" quote

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

Let me know how long you had to wait :D

[@Real_Beyoga]

23 minutes for thingy being ancestral guidance with ascendance

[@manog2105]

Woot, new vid!

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

You know it!

[@lZeero3035l]

You get three free runed crests for crafting I believe. Two from renown and one from the questline where you do the story mode raid at the end. At least I think lol

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

I know about the Ansurek one and the Severed Threads one, but IDK where the third one from another Renown is from

[@lZeero3035l]

Hallowfall Renown rank 24 I believe

[@lZeero3035l]

I actually think all the renown tracks give enchanted runed crests at 24

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

Oh shit, nice, I need to actually bother doing some weeklies and renown grind from time to time, hahaha

[@Bruder_Benny]

That was painful to watch :D but like you said, maybe the feral has not that much exp in m+ or that specc and he needs some exp in "higher" keys And i had a similar GB +7 run on thursday. First boss was smooth but we pulled the second one into the same mobs like u did. The two mobs before the third boss wiped us one time and third boss two times (elementals run into the range and that player didn't move). But the worst was the last boss. In the end we had about 50+ deaths. And most of the deaths were so stupid and i was sure we timed that easy so i can achiev my KSM but i had to wait till yesterday^^

[@ohGohre]

I think the knockup from shaman can be cast while stunned, thats why you were able to stop the channel on yourself.

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

That would make a lot of sense, I thought I had a 400IQ moment of timing it just right :D

[@thetaobera5823]

Wow great commentary

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

Thanks so much! I try my best (:

[@kyletownsend3366]

Also you can knock up while CCd

[@user-fz9ti4dm9e]

Ain’t no party like no kick party… 🫣

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

The irony is that if you don't kick you kick yourself in the ass

[@Aaronmillager]

Cus a no kick party don’t stop…..casts

[@Spankanoid]

Hey man! again awesome video! Can you maybe do a video with your addons, weakauras, plater profile etc. thank you for the good content, leaning a lot 😃

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

I have a pinned message in the DNV Community Discord explaining exactly how to get my UI set up, as well as a list of all my addons, their profiles, settings and my WeakAuras (:

[@Spankanoid]

@ i see it! Thanks 🙏🏻😊

[@andreware2039]

Interrupt?! Ha! I don't know her 😌

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

"Where does that drop?"

[@MothCoveredRock]

Christ, that was so rough Imagine being a mage and not using your decurse in GB

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

And then flaming your healer who is actively trying to heal through double heal absorb curse to save you

[@andyward2548]

tbh ive got like 7-8 crafted pieces on my monk now due to my guild stopping raiding mythic xD so yeah i feel like crafted pieces are defo worth while especially with the buffs to upgrade / crafting matts xD

[@semehjomaa6810]

in terms of echoes of great sundering, i find this macro to be really usefull. You turn your brain off and spam one button as a spender. #showtooltip /castsequence reset=alt Earth Shock, Earthquake Also EOGS does 120% additional damage (220% overall) so even if u want to spam earthquake, it's still better to alternate between ES and EQ .

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

Oh I know it's better, that's not the issue, it's the cognitive load while commentating, hahaha I'll try out that macro, but I think I might run into the issue of still having to pay attention when I do an ES at the end of a pull and start with Earthquake on the next, or the buff times out

[@marcuserlandssonfrischenfe5635]

Vlad, you do get some of these 619 ilvl enchanted crests for free from the campaign. I understand you dont have time to farm that for the serie though. Peepeepoopoo out

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

The campaign questline itself? I know about the Ansurek quest and the Renown one from Severed Threads, not sure which campaign one you mean

[@marcuserlandssonfrischenfe5635]

Iam wrong you are right. It is from the renown and the ansurek quest. I just remembered i had a few of them after i finished my campaign on priest.

[@kriva5887]

i kinda wanted to get back to wow, you know blast some pug keys for fun... not anymore

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

It can still be pretty fun, most my runs are still pretty chill, this one was... special.

[@dracoknight9066]

Honestly don't think that feral was clueless about his class, more like he probably had terrible stat weights. I was clueless playing destro alt with 590 ilvl and did twice his dmg here because I had correct stats.

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

Stats don't make _that_ big of a difference. They definitely make a difference, but not less-than-tank-damage kind of difference. They died so often he had no chance to do any damage, I think that was the biggest issue they had, which is perfectly fine, they have a lot to learn about what happens in the dungeon and I hope that having a rough run like this doesn't discourage them

[@Xemozazk]

How do you get your damage numbers right under the nameplate?

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

I use the NSCT (Nameplate Scrolling Combat Text) addon. You can get my settings (addon doesn't support profiles) from the DNV Community Discord, linked in the description (:

[@Xemozazk]

@@Definitely_Not_Vlad Thanks.

[@evangallagher7978]

I use those free enchanted crests from rep for free 619 gear but i wouldnt spend any real crests on it

[@Max-9871]

Well he pally has 6mil life so around 620ilvl i think? he should be able to just brutforce through the curses with output especially in a +6. I did a +14 GB without a single decurse (except my 1min cd) and i just healed through it.

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

Yeah but that's with people who kick, CC and use defensives, our group did none of that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@MrMenorex]

That is it ... 6 are harder than ... than 8 .... atleast that wat i did exp playing healer.... pll not using defence and dont fully under stand tacis ... but this is the pug exp most pll have this day ❤

[@kokosel96]

Im crafting with heroic crest. Wirh Max renown and the quest i get 5 and can go 610 in an hour with crafts and some warbound

[@VicarInATutu242]

I enjoy the scuffed runs! Normalizes the pug experience. But is it weird that I'd rather do a messy key that times by the skin of our teeth, than one that sails through with ~7 min left? Smooth runs are boring

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

I'd do a messy key with friends, but with PUGs that start flaming each other in the dumbest ways, hahaha

[@VicarInATutu242]

@@Definitely_Not_Vlad oh for sure, flaming and toxicity is nonsense - that's gg territory. But when the team is all still backing each other after mistakes, trying to save it in the last minute, that's fun stuff

[@kyletownsend3366]

And this is why I don’t pug 😂 I don’t have the patience for people like this

[@DJK827]

Hey i vote for you to do MW monk for healer lmfao hahaha I haven't seen one of them yet in any of my keys 😅 😂

[@DJK827]

Also I thought you said you wanted to go towards haste more instead of mastery? Which i would've done myself lol I'm always leaning towards more haste! Even on my unholy that way it's more spammy more faster tp cast or CD is quicker I guess 🤔

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

On a personal level I'd love to just stack Haste on every class, but it turns out Mastery is even more valuable to Elemental than Haste, at least according to the analytics on high-end runs for Elemental Shamans I play Mistweaver on the side, they're still amazing. Part of me does wish they'd win, I'd at least be able to provide more in-depth commentary on the class itself :D

[@DJK827]

@Definitely_Not_Vlad oh damn alright bro nice I swear I've not seen many monks this season. But they are out there. And my bad on the whole haste thing I seen the mastery up like a bunch which is what unholy wants too but after a while you want to go others because of it disfubctioning after a certain amount I forget the exact word they call it but that's cool you are a good player I couldn't even comment about all the things and spell names and stuff in the runs like you do. My memory sucks lol but I do remember where to go and to not stand in front of frontals unlike that druid lmfao 🤣 honestly that was me 2 years ago when I click casted everything now I use macros WAs and all that etc makes a big difference

[@dimondblade]

How is anyone dieing with the curse with 4 curse dispells.

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

I'm the only one using it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@jamesjohnsoniii8068]

Lookin like Disc gonna win the healers

[@VictusPrime]

This is just so painful to watch (not you specifically or your content). Runs like this are just so common in lower keys. The average WoW player is just...not good at the game, and a lot of the playerbase has been playing this game for years and years. Truly a mystery.

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

I would have no issues explaining things to people, but 6s are no longer a place for learning after the key squish and it feels like a LOT of people didn't get the memo about the squish

[@NaTodai]

Finger pointing in low keys is so pathetic lol

[@Definitely_Not_Vlad]

At what key level is it cool then? :D

[@NaTodai]

@ touche LOL, thankfully at a certain point it just doesn’t happen so frequently. Good video
