Why do you keep spreading the bullshit about the one button Ret rotation? I don't understand what you are getting out of propagating that nonsense over and over. It's a large DPS loss and Enhancement could feasibly do the exact same thing with similarly tanked DPS since they are also first come first serve. Stop telling people to one button macro shit

[@tbdfupa]

Great video WillE. Love the long form!

[@skuggzpoker]

You've ruined me. On a whim a month or two ago I hit up a Vanilla private server after not playing WoW for _many_ years, and I thought that was going to be all I'd ever want to touch again regarding the game. Then I stumbled across your channel and started binging videos. Now I'm re-subscribed and playing WotLK Classic as we speak. FML.

My second favorite was MoP. Granted, my bars got crowded, but if I'm honest I loved it. On my hunter for example I swapped to survival and I thought at first that there were too many, but before the end of the first patch my tune changed to "BLIZZ GIVE ME MORE BUTTONS!!!!"

Great stuff, must have taken a lot of time researching this as well. I rarely comment on videos but this definitely deserved a like and comment (I'm already subbed ofc) for the quality content.

Thankyou for the ultra breakdown of every spec in every possible situation!! I'm definitely going to try "Pret" pala now, sounds sick, also I have to say this... OH MY GOD the editing in this video is superb!! Such tiny and subtle effects to enhance the focus on everything you say, for an editor like me this is SUPERB, the third person medium shots whenever you used a skill on allies were sweet, the Crossfade instead of cutting to the Main topic of Talent tree Showcase imperceptibly returns the viewer back to the point as forced backtracking, the minimizing of the gameplay window with blur on the back further enhances the focus point to the entire screen without eye restrains! Everything in this is an editing masterclass!! Congratulations for your hard work!!

Due to the way damage came in within raids, HoTs were op. I always topped the meters with my druid. Towards the end of WotLK, that began to change and my overhead Vs actual heal started to decline. Good knowledge of encounters is super important to be able to queue up those hots.

Did 2s arena with a resto druid, I was a surv hunter. It was a lot of fun, also a wasp is a great pet for pvp with its anti stealth sting. Procing L&L is the high priority move, but plenty of other stuff to do in between.

[@zacharyc3837]

Great video! Thanks for the great content you've been putting up! For the rogue bit, I believe that dmg buffs such as tricks do not stack. So if you put two stacks of tricks on someone, both threat increases would activate but only 1 dmg buff would activate.

[@zaclines8067]

thats why he was talking about staggering it to keep up a 15% damage buff

Wow! This is loooong and I love it!

[@jonk9293]

Thx Willie this is a great video!!!

[@ChibiHoboProductions]

1:27:46, Actually you just need to be tracking any one of them from the list to activate against them all. If you are tracking undead, you'll still get the bonus on humanoids, beasts, etc. No need to be swapping constantly

[@Nootelley]

Thank you lol thats very helpful to know.

[@Hansen0038]

Also, melee weaving is no longer a thing for hunters as it shares GCD with the auto shot. So not worth it

[@bartok1378]

There's a macro you can use for hunters mark that will swap your tracking to whatever type of creature you put hunters mark on.

[@ChibiHoboProductions]

@@bartok1378 Why would you need that macro if you don't need to swap? Just track one and be get the bonus against all of them at once. I prefer to track whatever I'm not fighting so my minimap isn't agony to look at. Again, you get the bonus against all target types listed, so long as you track one of them.

[@xen2241]

something of note, with the rogues tricks of the trade there is a "cancel threat" macro you can key into tricks and cast it on someone then after it procs (need to hit atleast once for this) you hit tricks again to cast the second line which dispels tricks of the trade from yourself while the buff is still applied to your target therefore providing all the buffs with no threat generation i quit mid Ulduar but i used to cheese warlocks with this (because their corruption snapshots to be +% damage and stays that way as long as they never let it fall off) or otherwise the UH DKs since they have amazing burst potential -- i also macroed it to cast on my focus target so i would not have to choose who to give it to (unless i was providing it to multiple characters per fight) -- just cast to focus, hit an enemy, cast again to drop buff, wait 59 seconds, repeat

[@kelsipherzatozia840]

The thing about wanting to play Blood PvE DPS is that it is a cleave heavy plate melee spec that pretty much gears like a fury warrior. Meaning you're dependant on high armor pen, which isn't available until final phase and you're also competing with fury warriors for STR+ARP gear while also not pumping as high as fury. In my honest opinion, Blood DPS seemed like it was the intended PvP spec and it's good in solo BG's as well as arena. Hits really hard with 2H in Blood Presence, personally I've gotten 20k crits with Death Strike and Heart Striker, plus lots of self heal and big defensive CD's. You treat it pretty much like an Arms Warr.
