How are you prepping for Cata?

[@guido4096]

I need a hardcore guild for Cata Jeromeee, recruit my ass

[@plantseeker5829]

Im not ready!!! Too busy with sod😢

[@Infernoblade1010]

Archeology grind 😢

[@Infernoblade1010]

Archeology grind! I did at least make a ton selling the tokens! Think I made like 6k in a day lol!!! Just need to grind out my staff for my mage.

[@88majestik]

Im lvl up priest unded fresh start alredy ask for 30 gold from GM 😊 probly need more to borrow at 40 for next train mount priest = relax play

[@ryanmullen483]

Youre brave! A human on a casual jog in the barrens? Youre gonna get ganked bro

[@NOHITJEROME]

hahaha thank you ryan for the advice i nearly died 4 times filming that..it's hazy but I feel like I remember you playing war in sod, do you have any plans to play arms in cata? they will be absolutely insane from everything I see

​@@NOHITJEROME 😂

[@NOHITJEROME]

yooo peter good to see you

[@ryanmullen483]

@NOHITJEROME youre right actually! Although kinda gave up on sod when p3 launched. Even so I'm a warrior main for life so ya il be pumping on arms in cataclysm. Even got my zinrok already ;)

@@NOHITJEROME you always brighten up my day Jerome, much love brother

[@samhuvi]

Been watching you awhile now thank you for the guides :) and happy summer

[@NOHITJEROME]

thanks a lot sam, appreciate you saying that. happy summer to you as well. will you be outside or playing wow? i might get a 3 minute walk in every day lol

[@simonlopresti]

Love the work you put into the video’s lately, really fun to watch 💯💯

[@NOHITJEROME]

Thanks a lot Simon. I hope you have a great weekend. I saw you got a new microphone on your channel ( SHURE SM7) recently. How are you liking it two months later? I just got a new microphone over here (steelseries alias pro) which feels nice too :D )

[@kooba.]

Jerome this video was amazing. Top tier comedy. When you were on the roof I was laughing so hard

[@NOHITJEROME]

thank you a lot kooba, I appreciate this very much. I know you will be excited for cata arenas, what do you think about them? will they be as good as they are hyped up to be?

[@EcEc-fe9dq]

So if i do this i dont have to any any quests to level i can do heroics to level if i get there gear with justice points?

[@NOHITJEROME]

Do you mean from 80 to 85 Mr. Ec? If you only do dungeons you will be missing out on rep..that's the catch. you need rep for pre-bis enchants similar to in wrath. So the game almost forces you to do quests too

[@sebbeeriksson7142]

Thanks for the tips!

[@NOHITJEROME]

yooo thank you for watching seb what have you been focused on? archaeology, justice points or something else?

[@wakkablitz]

Thanks Jerome!!!!! I've got my alts going and getting justice points!!!

[@caioreis350]

Ele shaman all the way here! I know it's going to be middle of the pack, but i just love ele so i'm sticking to it

[@NOHITJEROME]

i know you love ele shaman and I have great news - they are extremely fun in cata. my friend mr medina was playing ele in our raid last night and the fact that they can cast (some of the time) when moving is really nice. and the rotation is fun/ less annoying than other cata specs

[@Neylax2832]

They can always cast when moving. There is a rune for lightning bolt.

[@myravied7965]

Sick video editing, thats alot of work you put in! Im not plaing cata, cuz i decided to keep plaing DF, but still enjoy your vids

[@NOHITJEROME]

Thanks a lot for saying that Myravied. I completely get your decision to not play cata. I really wish they had done a cata+ and done some new questlines and tie-ins to DF. It felt like such a good idea and something they 100% could do but I guess they want to focus on bringing back the experience players remember. still will be fun hopefully

[@nexusobserve]

i have 7 lvl 80s as alliance in classic now, should I try horde as goblin?

[@NOHITJEROME]

do it, go all in. it's horde time

[@keithkinney5025]

Epic kicks and Smoke Bombs...Your a real life rogue!

[@NOHITJEROME]

thanks keith, you have been very kind - first with the gryphons and now the smoke bombs :D hope you are having a great weekend sir

[@pottsy9942]

Would you recommend Rogue or Mage more? Can't decide and it's getting close.... :'(

[@NOHITJEROME]

mage, fire mage look so fun and i played it a bit and had an absolute blast

[@pottsy9942]

@@NOHITJEROME only for pve, or even if i will do pve and pvp? Rogue seems kinda fun for shenanigans but i guess mage is more likely to get a raidspot with when you‘re playing casual pugs…

[@IakaNory]

what does that mean to complete other races? like stack 200 frags? how can u complete race in Archeology?

[@NOHITJEROME]

once you've solved all the rares for a specific race you'll have a 50% lowered chance of getting that races digsites.. LOT of time investment either way though lol

[@mortennielsen6788]

About damn time you made some cata videos! Now keep them coming 🎉

[@NOHITJEROME]

absolutely morten, really starting to get excited for cata here. i'm guessing you will be maining a shaman, will you go ele? ele looks amazing right now, really fun especially since you can (on demand) cast when moving which is really nice

[@mortennielsen6788]

@@NOHITJEROME I haven’t decided yet. Proberly resto shaman and/or resto druid. For faster queues but mainly gonna be making Gold and not focus so much pve content - for now 😊

[@NOHITJEROME]

resto and dual spec ele might be the play. seems like there were 0 resto shamans in the testing i was doing so they are going to be desirable for raids. resto druid feels good but the rotation is kind of annoying so far to me. roll 3x lifeblooms on main tank, refresh it with a hard casted spell (or lifebloom) - this part feels weird. and u have to cast a hard cast every 10sec (i think) or you lose a lot of healing on your hots. so it's like spinning several plates at once and trying to keep them in the air. feels like i'm playing a restaurant simulator lol

[@Youareafuckinglegend1989]

Love your videos brother God Bless. Thanks for the smashing video great information 👍🙏 👍

[@sethterry7068]

Hey you dropped this 👑

[@NOHITJEROME]

hey seth, thanks a lot for saying that. with the picture you have as your avatar i hope my head is still attached when you put the crown on...what anime was that? lol

[@CyberMonkey03]

If I make a rogue I’m for sure going goblin

[@NOHITJEROME]

it's a good choice, the best choice imo. goblin will scale very well over time and practically every fight has movement. even if orc sims better i don't think there will be a difference in reality. from your channel you are an arma 3 fan btw, did you ever play arma 3 BR back in the day? that was the best battle royale I ever played by far

[@Ben-iv4yb]

Cant wait for my blood dk to carve through everything

[@Lukane01]

I found your channel through Simonize and bro I love your videos, you deserve to pop off

[@NOHITJEROME]

thanks a lot Lukane. love simonize, was just using his sheet earlier today to make gold crafting. have you used it yet? he didn't want to make a video on it, but it's in his discord. very nice for gold

[@JKLYDE]

The addon MinimumArchaeology makes it a LOT easier also, well a lot more efficient I should say.

[@NOHITJEROME]

very good tip, thank you jklyde. also hope you liked the mankrik shoutout. if they DO merge faerlina/bene mankrik is about to get a whole lot more populated lol

[@JKLYDE]

@@NOHITJEROME I sure did. Could maybe be a good thing, definitely from a population standpoint. Now excuse my while I get back to *sigh* Archaeology mount and and epic hunting.

[@NOHITJEROME]

ahhh don't tell me you are one of those guys that have done 30hrs and gotten absolutely nothing so far. my (unfounded) theory..they might nerf archaeology. way too many ppl complaining about 30+ hr grinds lol

[@JKLYDE]

@@NOHITJEROME I don’t think I’m “one” of the guys I think I am “THE” guy lol. I haven’t been miserable though, I’ve had 90s alternative rock mix jamming and chillin. UPDATE: got the Fossil Raptor mount 👍

[@Chucboris]

Your editing is like the not cursed version of swifty’s deleted video

[@NOHITJEROME]

very high praise, thank you chucboris. i think he had very good ideas with greenscreens. i just think it's a time and place thing. imagine how happy people would have been to see him greenscreen himself into his pvp videos sometimes. i think it's all time/place and fitting things in the right ways. i still need to work on that myself lol

[@daltonnelson94]

Not a fan of ret in cata, so I'm picking a new main. I'm really struggling on what spec to go with!

[@Hipp1062]

Probably won't like warrior if you've played it in the past. You're constantly rage starved from the rage rework so most of the time you're just auto attacking and hoping to get enough rage to hit an ability. At near full bis with 60% crit anyway. Feels awful

[@daltonnelson94]

@@Hipp1062 Good to know. I was a big fan of Swifty and had a warrior back in the day to pvp on. Reck + bladestorm. I also did some lfr on arms during dragon soul raid. You got me leaning mage now

[@jc53170]

@@Hipp1062i just lived that in SoD not going for another round….im gonna leave my pve warrior’s fond memories in WRATH ❤ Havent defided on my reroll yet so watching vids like this to help me finalize it

[@NOHITJEROME]

hmmm dalton, you got through icc prog/heroic farm with ret. maybe you need to just stay ret. isn't the big complaint of ret in cata that they have weak aoe damage? or that their rotation just doesn't have much for aoe

[@NOHITJEROME]

ya the warriors in our (test) raid were topping the meters. but they weren't necessarily having fun. a weird combination, a common one in cata. your rotation may just not..suit your playstyle. so even if you pump you might not have fun. my problem is that it's on blizzard's terms - you don't really choose your rotation. so if you don't like it you are out of luck

[@maxpowers5055]

Chuck Norris may lend a hand.

[@NOHITJEROME]

gonna need chuck norris to deal with all the classes you are playing lol. he will have to roundhouse kick your hunter and your shaman right back to the spawn

[@Infectouss]

These vidoes are pure gold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@lochvast1180]

Is resil working yet in pvp?

[@NOHITJEROME]

don't believe so lochvast. i know you were really excited for cata when it was announced. are any of these bugs or the timeline concerning you at all? i'm not really worried, i think they will fix everything in time. but you stand to lose more than me, i hadn't played cata before so i don't have to worry about high expectations

[@lochvast1180]

@NOHITJEROME im worried about the population of the game as well. I hope it smoothes out so people stick around. Without resil we are regularly seeing 20k+ crits. People in full wrathful are dying within 3-5 seconds which might discourage returning pvprs. I just hope future patches are better tested.

[@madmikesdeath]

What we gotta talk about, is them EYEBROWS!!!

[@NOHITJEROME]

Hi House11, I completely get your take on pvp realms, I know getting ganked/griefed on the way to a raid or while you are farming can be miserable. What do you think about getting rid of pve servers and replacing them with warmode though? I feel like that system might be the way forward. As for the other videos, I've only made 2 prepatch vids so far. I'd love to make some launch videos and profession videos, but I'm a bit behind. Ahh..need to be better with my time

And guys for leveling dont make the mistake i did and get Restedxp when you are gonna spam dungeons anyway with RDF i felt so dumb pinch me chat

[@NOHITJEROME]

i'm sorry you ended up feeling let down by the rxp pruchase. dungeon spam definitely does feel better. i think it's just the mental strain of questing, it's stressful, it's work. dungeons are mindless by comparison. that being said: cata questing may very well be better than dungeons. so if you bought a cata guide for rxp i don't think that will end up being a waste

ya jc i mean war tops the meters, it's really not that they are bad at all. but cata changes a lot of specs and rotations. for many players i think it's time to step away from warrior. can't go wrong with any spec really

Lmfao picking the highest pop server is such a garbage tip. Most of these tips are actually, barely any useful info in this video. You didn't even talk about the archeology tip to give you higher chance at your chosen epic... This was about as nutritial as cardboard

[@NOHITJEROME]

Hi Austin, iirc you have pserver experience and pservers are different. everyone is on the same server and you don't have to worry about being stuck on a dead realm. but in the live servers you need to be on teh highest pop server. otherwise you won't be filling the raids nearly as fast
