Welcome everyone! We are a Dad and son team with the goal of making more WoW content more accessible to more people. Thank you for joining us! Main Beast Mastery and Survival Hunter because we love our pets.
Back in everquest 2 we had different login screens with each expansion. The frozen waste exp had a snowy campsite... The desert exp had a desert oasis campsite... And so one for every expansion theme.
I faintly recall their being an upcoming achievement that will give bonus xp for each max level character you already have. While this is not directly part of the warband it further plays into the account wide progression feeling. There is a similar system in Final Fantasy 14 and it is generally well liked.
At this point wow is a character creation simulator for me. I barely make it to level 25 on the panda remix bs without starting over again. Only a Dwarf DeathKnight made it to 70
@fizzbrew Thank for the comment and I get ya there. Sometimes I feel like playing and will start leveling a new character. Get to about level 30 and be like nah not this again ... lol.
ITS SO SAD beeing older and older and have to concider high spaming classes not t play. its the same with me. when i was young i did never consider that
@derknusperhase_ivi Thanks for the comment! The reflexes do slow down a bit but you play to your strengths. For me, honestly it's not about age as much as it just becomes uncomfortable. I will age but absolutely refuse to grow old. 😁
@@TwoAngryFrogs can refuse how much u want honey boney there will come a time u cant even refuse it anymore. dont be scared by aging. its only a door to our lord and saviour jesus christ.
@@derknusperhase_ivi Nope. Not giving in ... lol. Spent 4 hours yesterday chainsawing and working on cleaning up some of our wooded areas. I stay really active on our land. Always something to do so keeps me moving all the time ... :D
I make my own weakauras, if you make your own weakaura you will UNDERSTANd what they are better than any video. importing weakauras can be more confusing and I dont want random clutter on my screen
I use weak auras. However, keep in mind that every weak aura you add whether you are using it or not adds to your load time. If you are not using it, get rid of it. Bellular gaming did a fantastic video on this.
@Mopar2yah Good point and thanks for the comment! Yeah the WAs do eat up in game memory so having a ton of them that you do not use definitely will slow load up times. It will also freeze up the game when trying to load the WA interface for a few seconds if you have a lot of them.
@HawkknightXC88 Thanks for the comment! Only if they are classified as a Beast, which I do not believe any of them are. I know we can tame Lesser Dragonkin in Dragonflight but there are no Undead among those.
I found it helpful to create a few simple auras myself to understand how they work. The first aura I ever made from scratch was to remind me to call the Swagsnout Gromit pet in Korthia Shadowlands because I would forget it every time!
@mirandelf That is great! And agree it is a great way to learn the underlying workings. I was a coder back in the day so know about Lua and other scripting languages so that probably gave a little head start in understanding them. Depending on the Weakaura they can get really complex.
@armagedoc66 Thanks for the comment! And sounds like a plan. I also plan on playing more characters this time around. Have not done that in a long time.
i have had 2 strokes and my memory is crap so i don't do dungeons and raids so how am i supposed to get all of the gear i need its wrong that you have to do the dungeons and raids if you cant get them right and people moan at you because your doing them wrong and i am 63 years old
@peterjeffery1854 Thanks for the comment! This method is definitely specific to Remix and is cheesing the game for sure. You can still hit level 70 in a reasonable amount of time without Dungeons and Raids as I did on a couple of characters. The War Within will likely be the best we have seen yet as far as solo play as Delves will be rewarding up to Heroic Raid item level gear so there are some good things coming.
so for me, like others on this post, I'm coming back after a really long layoff. This gear upgrade system seems cool, but I started a level 10 timewalker and am currently playing through the MoP content and am wondering if I should even start upgrading my gear at this point. None of the gear I have has even my primary base stat on it (Int). So I guess my question is should I even upgrade what I have or just save my bronze until I get to level 70?
@robertweatherman7984 Definitely wait until you hit 70. The gear that you get as you level increases in item level until you hit level 70 and then gear at 70 drops at iLvl 346 ( if I remember right) which then you can start upgrading. Also you will start getting gear that has your main stat on it when blues start dropping.
Ranged, high movement, survivable, and mostly solo style, BM Hunter, Arcane or Frost Mage, Demonology or Afliction Warlock. I also like DK as I mained them for years and am very comfortable with them any spec
Hey again! I watched someone else video about this leveling strategy and they talked about making a lvl 20 trial character "Make sure its on the same battlenet account" and then they can invite themselves and boost characters effectively I was wondering if you could explain how to create an account like this , thanks!
@gibier2335 This requires running two instances of the game at the same time logged into a different login as far as I know. Not something I have done in the past. I am not sure how you would log in to the same Battle.net account twice, since the second login kicks you out of the first one. In my case I have two separate Battle.net accounts entirely. But basically you log into both characters. Invite the lower level into a party with your higher level and the have the lower level on follow so it just follows you while you run through dungeons, raid or whatever you choose.
When the game comes out I'm going to wait and see if its fun to play the game as a solo player again, like it was in legion. And then i will probably main my ww monk and make a ret pally alt.
@KingDJ524 I played solo while testing on the Beta and there are definitely a lot of things for solo players. I think Delves will will be a great thing for solo players or even small groups of 2 to 3 people. It gives another option that is not Mythic+ and Raiding.
I got every class to 70 and geared them out in their full raid finder set in S4 of DF. It helped me discover that I loved certain classes very unexpectedly (Monk, Evoker) and hated some I thought I would really like (Mage, S-Priest). I gave it a good shot with all of them, tried all their specs. In the end, I like 7 classes enough I could main them - Hunter, Paladin, Death Knight, Monk, Rogue, Warrior. From there I studied a Reddit thread on what classes people intend to main someone else put a summary in Icy Veins about this today). Of those classes, I crossed off Hunter because it’s far and away the most popular, even though I got my BM Hunter at a maxed out ilvl. I also crossed off Paladin. At the top of my list are DK, rogue and Monk because hardly anyone is interested in them. Between now and August 22nd I’ll take these 3 classes to a 3000 M+ rating and through AOTC to figure out what I want most.
@Electric_ That is awesome! No doubt you will definitely stick with what you ultimately decide since you know enough about all of them now. That's the whole idea for sure.
@@TwoAngryFrogs for sure - the reason I did it is because every expansion I have the same problem. This is the only way to find a cure. For the record, I am heavily leaning towards DK and might end the experiment soon because it has both a tank and DPS spec that are great. Couldn’t learn to love Brewmaster.
@@Electric_ Blood DK I think is a lot of fun to play as well. The self healing on that tank is great. It was the same for me. It took probably two expansions for me to really land on the three I routinely play.
You said that if you’re doing open world content that it doesn’t matter which spec you play. I disagree. If you want to solo farm elite rares having a pet to tank for you really helps. Choose hunter or warlock.
@mirandelf I would agree up to a certain iLvl of gear. But once you reach a good level you can pretty much solo the content. Early on when we are leveling or just starting to gear up, agree a class with a pet does make it easier.
I usually play 4 characters pretty equally. One of each armor type: Plate, Mail, leather, cloth. Then i have them take different professions. Couple might have same gathering skill. And they share all their stuff. That will be much easier when warbands come. Basically the 4 characters on new campfire login screen are my main.
@ChosenGamingTV Thanks for the comment! Having different armor types is a really good idea and agree Warbands are going to help a lot. I have not done the professions thing in the past but am planning to hit all of them for the new xpac. Been going through and setting up my characters for what each one is going to do. So this go around I will main the warlock and play 5 other Alts to get all the profs. Druid for Mining and Herbalism just due to flight form.
would be great if you could add a pic of each pet during the section so we know what each one is. ive given up on time rift. ive done 100+ and never go it. same with needing the staff transmog. blizz should really make these more common.
@randomhuman19 Thanks for the comment! Yeah we talked about that and probably should have. There was so much packed into this video was concerned it would just be switching context too much. We could have added some still screens though to show the pets together. Wish I would have thought of that when we edited the video ... lol.
@RU-vid_Enjoyerlol Yeah BM Hunter in particular. I actually started as a pally in Vanilla up to Pandaria, but somehow ended up on BM when I came back to WoW during BFA.
@WeaponTheyFear69 I told AngryFrog #2 the same thing. Prefect music choice for this video. He said he has only so many songs he can choose that loop decently for 24 minutes. 😂
I used to enjoy SPRIEST or healer, but now that I'm getting older, I got less time and lost my young reflexes. What would you say are easy classes to play ? Mostly looking at class where you can focus more on the mecanics then APM rotation
Hey @IceWolve67 Thanks for the comment! That is a hard one to answer just because what may be easy for one person is difficult for another and vice versa. But the one I find easiest by far is BM Hunter just due to the mobility. I also find Destruction Warlock and Frost Mage to be easier than some of the others. Frost Mage has gotten more complex over time though and the spell cast timing is really crucial to good DPS. These are low APM so your not having to make split second decisions all of the time. But your mileage may vary. :D
I rarely comment ngl, maybe once a year.. but just wanted to say thanks for this guide, really comprehensive and very informative, well done! Thanks for the effort ❤
@salihkizildag Thanks for the comment! For me it is just the opposite. Find Destruction easiest and Affliction the most difficult. I have always wondered what it is about a given spec that clicks. Not sure if it is a left brain-right brain thing, how we think as far as patterns, or what, but it has always intrigued me.
Playing since 08, I've mained a mage. At one time I had 7 of them in my character list. I've whittled that down to three. My first mage, a gnome female who is currently fire spec, is still my main-main. But I've been playing female dark-iron paladin (Ret) for about eight months and LOVE the feel of bashing things in the face up close and personal. I can't heal worth spit, so that's right out. I can see me standing in the middle of the room, boss having retreated and everyone else is dead but me because I couldn't heal fast enough. The three i absolutely hate playing is Evoker, Demon Hunter, and, especially, Rogue. Just all the moving is harder for me. Unless I'm having to tank or heal, everything else is good (hence why I have 58 characters of all sorts. I have 2 demon hunters just because, two evokers for the same reason (collections), and no rogues. Yes, I'm an alt-holic and a collector of all sorts of things in game.
Hey @charlayned Alt-oholic here as well. Just deleted my Remix Hunter since I figured I did not need 4 of them when Warbands comes around ... lol. I think I have at least two of every ranged class. My problem is I actually like the leveling process so I will start a new character of the same class to learn a different spec.
Great introduction to character selection. Even though I have been playing for 20 yrs or so I learned a few things lol. My choice, in my older age I love lvling Tanks. The quick que's are great and lvling by pulling large mobs is strangely satisfying lol. Personally though I'm not a raider or a mythic kind of player..I leave that to the younger folks..ty fir the video..subbed.
@scramman Thanks for the comment and the sub! We do really try and step back in a lot of our videos and try and get in the shoes of new, returning, or more casual players. Break it down into simpler ways of looking at it. And I agree, there is definitely something satisfying about pulling a huge amount of mobs on my Prot Pally and knowing I am in no danger of death. But man does it take a while to kill the stuff ... lol.
@rowdyrager-9403 Yeah it is pretty crazy when coming back into an expansion late. I remember coming back to WoW during BFA patch 8.3 and it was crazy as well.
Prot warrior is a lot of apm but it’s spamming the same key to rage dump. Shield slam resets, maintain shield block ignore pain and dump rage on revenge. My favourite tank though.
You forgot the most important one: look of the class. I personally love Evokers kit, specs and gameplay style but absolutely hate the uncanny valley scaley mode they are forced to be in and visage having 2 worst possible races (look wise) to choose from... Basically I really wanna play as a Evoker because of the gameplay but have to give up on atleast 50% of the game content because transmogs looks so horrible. It takes all fun out of collecting cosmetics and mounts when the character looks absolutely shit half of the time and cannot even wear shoulders in visage form because of how stupid 99% of shoulders look in scaley form. Mounts also feel bit boring because of how good Drakthyrs own flying is (small size compared to the flying mounts = flying feels faster and more nimble = fun to do tricks and fly near ground. I absolutely love the new flying style (even tho it could be so much more better with little effort)).
@Omili I for sure agree on the Dracthyr form and transmog. It does take away from the fun of transmog farming. Luckily with my Troll only the feet are affected. Although I still don't understand why Trolls can't where sandal type transmogs. Their feet are literally made for sandals .. lol. Dracthyr is certainly the most affected by this issue. Probably Worgen as well due to the wolf form. It will be interesting to see if they modify anything when they add new classes for Dracthyr. We know they are coming at some point later in The War Within, just not a certain time frame yet.
