@@hatewheel Once upon a time, when talent trees were a thing and specialisations didn't stink like Murlock butt, playing tank had it's perks... Then everything changed when big A conquered blizzard >
@@hatewheel I personally find tanks better than they ever were. I've tanked all classes, nothing wrong with any of them. It's just the role itself people don't like because you actually have to know what you're doing vs. other roles. People don't play tank because too much responsibility and the fact that 95% of the player base that you are tanking for is complete trash, or just genuinely stupid.
I tell my mom that every single day and she never understands. I even tried to explain to her like a child and she still says “pause it come over here and help me”.
true enough almost as much as the majority of the shit healers that only participate in 30% of the dng by overhealing by 80% and doing negative dmg healers entitlement is the real problem here not demonhuntards/huntards and shit tanks
Unlikely, that Priest seemed like a douch and would rather spend 20 minutes typing a complaint as if you stole his chocolate bar, instead of healing the tank.
tbf there was a raid boss when i used to play wow that you had to be a healing tank either a priest or pala healer because of the mechanics, but that was about 15 years ago give or take
@@brendanmccarthy492 Not too uncommon on AOE though. For an example, for a shadowpriest to do decent damage on a target they need to make sure they're dotted up. It takes time to dot up several targets before they can start do specific aoe dmg. Then you have classes like Paladin tanks that just do insane aoe dmg in general.
@@stoffni shadow priest are top 5 for damage right now... next is sub rogue and unholy dk and beast mastery hunter. Those classes are tier s right now in terms of dps.
The demon hunter being unable to interrupt was the most accurate thing I've ever seen. Give someone a class that gets a DPS increase by interrupting casts, and watch them never use it again.
To be fair the DHS dps boost from inturpting was only fixed about two weeks ago to give fury like it's says it should I play a tank dh and it sucked when there purge and inturpt didn't give fury like it said two weeks or so ago
"OK? Click it with your mouse then!" "Yeah right. Everyone's knows that if you press spells with your mouse in Wow, you're a total noob... And I'm not a noob." "What are you even talking about??" -you'd swear to god it was a real conversation from wow
There once was a hunter named Hank who cast Misdirect on his tank. He barrage-pulled some trash, feigned death in a flash and laughed as his party was ganked.
One of the memories that sticks to me the most was in MoP. There were mobs in each of the four corners of the room before the boss. I pulled one corner, and I saw the Priest not DPSing them. I saw him turning around to look at the other mobs, then back at us, then at the other mobs, then back at us, then I saw him using Angelic Feather to be able to run into all of the mobs to aggro them and drag them over to me. I got aggro on them all very quickly, and died in a few seconds. The wipe occurred not much longer after that. And he told me that I was a bad tank and left the group.
You forgot this one: “Guess we dont have a tank then” the dps said after topping threat because he didnt wait for just a bloody second to start dpsing.
@@grumpycup4762 Kind of an old take, unless you have a misdirect, aggro has been an issue in mythic+ for all of bfa, especially when corruptions were a thing and twillight dev didn't proc. Versatility didn't scale as well for tanks as mastery/crit/haste did for dps. For the first 3 seasons of bfa, you always had 1-3 rogues tho.
@@SpartSubLH Versatility has almost always sucked for tanks compared to other mitigation stats. I don't know how it works for other other tanks, but I know choosing mastery and crit (which also adds to parry %) over versatility on my pally made him much more durable, and the crit also helps with threat generation.
True I don't always have Elysian decree to help me pull agro to bring mobs to the lamps in sanguine depths Also it sucks when we are half a sec of dropping all our stacks of bursting then a dps cast execute on the mob And I obviously play tank dh
That is sadly the tale of all warrior tanks, i tanked vanilla through wrath and was replace by a dk tank, who they kept giving the gear to regardless of not being a tank in the raid, i was then told to go fury to keep my raid spot, they then gave all the dps gear to a different dk and then i was out on the streets only able to get into pugs then lfg lfr happened and i ceased to be able to get into normal raids. The cycle is just sped up now, i havent warrior tanked since ulduar, and i dont think we can count the quest chain to get the legion tank artifact as tanking
That's totally me. I mained tank the past 15 years and BFA just broke me. I got kicked at the beginning of BFA (when we are just starting gearing up) because I didn't chain pull adds in mythic dungeon..
@@algiux112 so they are only more powerful then druids and the joke we call monks since the other 3 have magic damage, being number 4 from being number one still sucks, and the play style is completely different from the old days making it very hard for old players from regetting into tanking, and you cant practice tanking without the exact scenario in the video from happening making it an issue
Real tanks always go on the friends list. In classic, it wasn't long before most actual tanks were too busy saving buffs to play. Leaving most groups with a dps (fury or arms) warrior in awful blues. I healed some of those on my alt, but with some BWL gear and extra mana pots. . . we could still wipe on Baron Rivendare. Seriously when the 'tank' and 3 dps all taking turns with threat is too mana draining for a 60 in blues, then add in an AoE DoT.
When he looks at the hunter for an interrupt and the hunter just abruptly feigns death...My God, the comedic timing, the sound effects, the camera zoom...it's such a perfect moment. I love your work, Captain Grim.
The priest keyboard turning is such a nice touch. I hope people noticed that, I really do man. It's that attention to detail that puts you above the rest.
Its true. Better get a group of friends together, who know what they are doing, so you can focus on tanking. (And not worry about the dps/healer failing/afk)
@@MyLittlePonyTheater the times real life has forced me to do that it honestly hurt me inside, but then again I played for the Horde. Cant say I'm going to re-subscribe or buy the new expansion but I love the memories of what the game used to be and the storyline
I can relate to this. Was tanking not too long ago and the healer absolutely refused to heal me because he didn't like the rotation I was using. Keep in mind that I was holding aggro and still doing my job.
Holy shit the quality of your videos is going trough the roof! The details, the animation, the humor everything. It's been a long time since any video actually made laugh out loudly. Well done!
That sums up retail perfectly. Even saying hi at the start of the dungeon has a chance to get you kicked out. I asked about it on the trade chat and people said that they dont say "hi" because then it puts them on the spot for possible kick
Nah this is nonsense. I do agree that there is a lack of communication but then again it also depends on what you are doing. Rushing through normal dungeons while lvling for example, i dont see why you would have whole conversations there... But you may have some when making groups for m+ or something.
"Yes, the one you can't pause" Oh god, the memories! Any time my mom would ask me for a hand back in vanilla and I'd have to say "I can't right now, sorry!" and I'd get "Just pause it and come here" "But you can't pause it, mom! I'm the healer and they'll die I can't make the whole group stop for 20 minutes, that would just be rude! I got a responsibility here!" I miss you, mom.
@@vindico8231 I've on more than one occasion been yelled at for not pulling enough/fast enough, cause I've built a level of patience for the healer to recover that tibetian monks would envy. [Tankadin]
@@vindico8231 yep i have encounter those on my resto druid lol, pretty much there is always an bad apple player that has a big ego in every specs one could encounter.
@@SteelDawn7 It's the mythic plus affixes that were the main problem for me as a healer... I remember this pally tank that pulled multiple packs even though I did say its not a good idea because of the Necrotic afflix.
As a main tank this is so true. DPS expect you to counter spell, heal, dps, and tank at the same time. Legit every dps has a counter spell but they are too busy pressing 1 😂😂
I used to kick DPS that refused to CC/Interrupt on the second refusal. If I was pugging I still ran with a guild healer and replacing DPS takes like 5 seconds. Once you remind people how replaceable they are and that they were waiting for over an hour for a tank...they get off their selfish behavior quickly normally.
it's actually not that much of a challenge, i used to main tank on my paladin and when it was a blood elf you had 3 interrupts, so that's not far fetched, Arcane Torrent, Avengers shield (i don't even know if it still interrupts it used to when i tanked), and paladins actual interrupt
Should have had a last scene where the tank quietly laughs to himself as he instantly gets a new group. Honestly though as a tank, I can confirm the struggle is real
My favorite is when the dps or even the healer runs ahead and pulls packs before you even get there. Then you have to scramble to take agro from the idiots before they get themselves killed. Or they pull the next pack/ boss while you’re still dealing with a group cause you apparently aren’t progressing fast enough.
This just had it all, the ridonkulusness, the drama, the suspense, betrayal, insane edits.. and my god did i laugh way too hard at the Dino jumping on the Tauren. Grim you're fucking amazing at this, keep it up!!!
I was just in a group yesterday, the tank said they were new to Retail. The healer spammed taunt on the first boss, blamed the tank, then refused to heal him. Later because the tank kept dieing, they vote kicked him for the reason "afk" (he was waiting for a rez, he even asked in chat), and my vote "no" got outnumbered. I made sure to whisper the tank after and explain that it absolutely was not his fault, and that this isn't the norm, but gosh dang that whole situation bothered me all day. The healer said they were new too, but considering they had tons of achievements and stuff (and heirloom achievements, but wasn't wearing heirlooms), and actually knew the dungeon mechanics, i'm 99% sure they're just queueing to troll.
It's not the norm, but this bullshit does happen, sometimes worse. And when it does, it sticks with you. Because you wouldn't think people this bad would have a superiority complex. But there they are, too ignorant to realize what actually caused the wipe.
1million percent the experience. Healers normally don't type for me though, they just rage quit or go afk. A buddy of mine just started playing wow and I tank for him. Yesterday he asks me, hey every class has an interrupt right? And I was like yeah pretty much. And he goes, well then why am I the only one interrupting. I just laughed for a minute straight. Sometimes these newbies can be better than you long term dps. Wish more of yall would learn to hold your weight so we can just get the shit done quicker.
Interrupts are fluff utility in retail these days retards are taught to ignore interrupts because low skill content doesn’t do enough damage to warrant using them Its not until you actually get into mid to high keys or mythic raids that casts chunk enough to require interrupting, just another game design failure thanks to blizz and their everyone’s a winner mantra
ah, the sweet tank experience. Healers that dont deal dmg and only heal (and less than my protopal). Dps that pulls ahead of tank and more than should and dont interrupt. And all of that is tank fault and they kick you and they wait half an hour for new one, while you insta queued for another
This exact thing 'literally' happened to me on day 2 of Shadowlands. 'Pro' players in a random dungeon expecting me on my first day of playing to have mastered everything, called me arrogant, kicked me from the group, and proceeded to insult me in whisper for the next two hours. xD
yup, had something similar happen in one of the Zul'dazar dungeons. Got feared into a group of mobs which wiped us and two of them literally interrogated me in and out of the dungeon. The exception was that I was a dps at the time. The thing is though, I've had instances like that and then I get times where the group is good and well mannered but most of the time I get a group of silent speedrunners that leave me in the dust
"The Monk Experience" was the first video I saw by you and I only recently realized it was you who made it. My favorite part about finding new WoW machinima makers is watching them get better and better with every video. I absolutely love how over-the-top your animation style has become and how much it's improved over the years. Your videos have become some of my favorite WoW-related machinimas and I look forward to everything you put out through Shadowlands! :)
i got kicked from my last group because two of the dps were just aimlessly walking around, aggroed 2 separate groups, we wipe. grp immediately turned on me and raaaaggged lol tanklyfe This was absolutely hilarious !! def earned that sub !
When the frog got kicked and floppily flew away was hilarious. 10/10 simulation of a tank. Never in my life have I had to ask myself so often; "what is my party doing?". Thanks for a good vid Captain Grim.
You describe my pain in 2:56 minutes. A minute of silence for all those tanks, and then you have people in mythics plus cursing why in 40 minutes there isn't a tank... #respectthetank
Love that at 1:05 even the mobs are turning with the tank going "really?" The fear pulling is also 100% accurate for that dungeon. Pretty sure i saw on Ony whelp get pulled in there once becaus the person ran so far.
Fun tank tips for never wiping: 1: Never trust your dps to pull! Their job is not to think, but to kill. 2: Remind your party of how valuable you are, by valiantly pulling and tanking every mob in the dungeon, no matter how small. 3: Fear is a fact of life. After pulling, Draw the enemies somewhere that takes the danger out of lesser builds fleeing for safety. If you completed step two, this is almost always behind you! 4: A DPS that causes too much aggro is a brash interloper, out of their element. Save your taunt for the next pull, and leave them to their fate. 5: OOM stands for 'Overwhelm Other Mobs' and is an invitation to pull again. Train your HP dispenser in proper mana management by giving them a challenge!
Captain Grim, I gotta say im sure im not the only but man, every single one of your videos is a gem, and im sure it takes or it seems to look it takes a lot of effort to make these, I dont think i have ever laughed a video on youtube as hard and often as everytime i watch one of your videos, cheers
When i used to tank (gave it up during early Legion after having put up with groups like this) every time i joined a group, i told them straight, at the start that i operated on one rule "you pull it, you tank it" i had a lot of dps (especially mages and hunters) giving me abuse over this, i'd make sure the rest of the group were okay, just not them, until they either wound their necks in and chilled the hell out, or left the team (usually left)
How can you create such perfection... I swear your videos are the ones I laugh the most with on the whole Internet. Thanks It was the decaying and despising “...noooooob” for me☠️☠️☠️
Just watched your video right after getting wiped in a dungeon, I can relate. I was playing pal tank. The healer was not careful enough, he was caught in an insta kill AOE. No heal, no more group. All I got was : "Tank noob" "Dumb" Thank you dear group for support. I'll go pal ret next time.

Nah this is nonsense. I do agree that there is a lack of communication but then again it also depends on what you are doing. Rushing through normal dungeons while lvling for example, i dont see why you would have whole conversations there... But you may have some when making groups for m+ or something.
lol I play on EU and if someone joined my group and stayed completely silent, I'd probably kick them. Fortunately I've never had to do that yet :)
"Yes, the one you can't pause" Oh god, the memories! Any time my mom would ask me for a hand back in vanilla and I'd have to say "I can't right now, sorry!" and I'd get "Just pause it and come here" "But you can't pause it, mom! I'm the healer and they'll die I can't make the whole group stop for 20 minutes, that would just be rude! I got a responsibility here!"
I miss you, mom.
Me too.
I miss you, mom.^2
Nowadays you just have your wife telling you to pause
The priest’s slow turn was so funny
Every few months i randomly go back and binge all your content, please remember, I’m not the only one!
We love CaptainGrim!
I appreciate you. Thank you for the support and I'm glad you've enjoyed my stuff :) Means a lot!
@@CaptainGrim i only wish i could be involved as a “Derek” here or there lol
As a Warrior Tank this did hit harder right in the feels than my fury dps.
Great Video Grim!
Being healer is a lot worst... especially when the tank has a huge ego, beats his chest like a gorilla and pulls multiple packs.
@@vindico8231 Those DPS that ingnore mechanics and keep staying in fire
@@vindico8231 I've on more than one occasion been yelled at for not pulling enough/fast enough, cause I've built a level of patience for the healer to recover that tibetian monks would envy. [Tankadin]
@@vindico8231 yep i have encounter those on my resto druid lol, pretty much there is always an bad apple player that has a big ego in every specs one could encounter.
@@SteelDawn7 It's the mythic plus affixes that were the main problem for me as a healer... I remember this pally tank that pulled multiple packs even though I did say its not a good idea because of the Necrotic afflix.
“Mom, I’m playing that game again.... yes... the one you can’t pause...”
Lmfao
also going into a dungeon for the first time and everyone follows you cus youre the tank but you have no idea where youre going
That was me today.
My first char was a tank: exactly my experience in every dungeon
just watch a video about it on yt, unfortunately, its necessary because these days you have to be a pro immediately after you enter the dungeon
@@Pepegalord plus knowing a dungeon's mechanics helps a lot no matter the MMO.
you should queue dps in every dungeon first, the mechanics are very easy for a dps usually
The way the priest types out a few words at a time to fill up chat is too accurate
As a main tank this is so true. DPS expect you to counter spell, heal, dps, and tank at the same time. Legit every dps has a counter spell but they are too busy pressing 1 😂😂
I used to kick DPS that refused to CC/Interrupt on the second refusal. If I was pugging I still ran with a guild healer and replacing DPS takes like 5 seconds. Once you remind people how replaceable they are and that they were waiting for over an hour for a tank...they get off their selfish behavior quickly normally.
@@Nempo13 I used to do the same thing
I fucking hate dps players dude. Literally herd animals mentally.
it's actually not that much of a challenge, i used to main tank on my paladin and when it was a blood elf you had 3 interrupts, so that's not far fetched, Arcane Torrent, Avengers shield (i don't even know if it still interrupts it used to when i tanked), and paladins actual interrupt
@@stankobarabata2406 Herd animals have the decency to be herdable, DPS players are like chickens with brain damage
1:48 That sudden change of animation speed/clarity cought me off guard... its great
0:37 LOL huntard spinning in place and healer spamming heals on himself, what is this a M+2?
I see this shit in M+18 pug groups too. Everyone that was decent seems to have quit until SL.
@@SirSquaggles SL is out, I think they might have just died.
Pugging mythics. This is fine....
Seriously find a nice guild, then find the guildies that aren't sluggish and fit into your schedule.
Should have had a last scene where the tank quietly laughs to himself as he instantly gets a new group. Honestly though as a tank, I can confirm the struggle is real
My favorite is when the dps or even the healer runs ahead and pulls packs before you even get there. Then you have to scramble to take agro from the idiots before they get themselves killed. Or they pull the next pack/ boss while you’re still dealing with a group cause you apparently aren’t progressing fast enough.
This just had it all, the ridonkulusness, the drama, the suspense, betrayal, insane edits.. and my god did i laugh way too hard at the Dino jumping on the Tauren. Grim you're fucking amazing at this, keep it up!!!
thanks Cat! I'm glad you liked it :)
Don't tell me this scenario is actually a realistic depiction of one of your dungeon raids, please don't.
its pretty accurate to most pugs tbh.
Could be... on a lesser scale... :)
I've been in worse... T______T
I was just in a group yesterday, the tank said they were new to Retail. The healer spammed taunt on the first boss, blamed the tank, then refused to heal him. Later because the tank kept dieing, they vote kicked him for the reason "afk" (he was waiting for a rez, he even asked in chat), and my vote "no" got outnumbered. I made sure to whisper the tank after and explain that it absolutely was not his fault, and that this isn't the norm, but gosh dang that whole situation bothered me all day.
The healer said they were new too, but considering they had tons of achievements and stuff (and heirloom achievements, but wasn't wearing heirlooms), and actually knew the dungeon mechanics, i'm 99% sure they're just queueing to troll.
It's not the norm, but this bullshit does happen, sometimes worse. And when it does, it sticks with you. Because you wouldn't think people this bad would have a superiority complex. But there they are, too ignorant to realize what actually caused the wipe.
The healer healing himself instead of tank at the start had me creased.
1million percent the experience. Healers normally don't type for me though, they just rage quit or go afk. A buddy of mine just started playing wow and I tank for him. Yesterday he asks me, hey every class has an interrupt right? And I was like yeah pretty much. And he goes, well then why am I the only one interrupting. I just laughed for a minute straight. Sometimes these newbies can be better than you long term dps. Wish more of yall would learn to hold your weight so we can just get the shit done quicker.
Interrupts are fluff utility in retail these days retards are taught to ignore interrupts because low skill content doesn’t do enough damage to warrant using them Its not until you actually get into mid to high keys or mythic raids that casts chunk enough to require interrupting, just another game design failure thanks to blizz and their everyone’s a winner mantra
"Yes, the one you can't pause" that hit too close to home
"mom, I've been playing that game again, the one you can't pause"
That is such a relatable line you have no idea..
The animations for when they got pummeled were sweet as honey. jokes aside, love your vids so keep em going :)
The part where they get feared is so true...
ah, the sweet tank experience. Healers that dont deal dmg and only heal (and less than my protopal). Dps that pulls ahead of tank and more than should and dont interrupt. And all of that is tank fault and they kick you and they wait half an hour for new one, while you insta queued for another
The you have been removed from the group at the end was the cherry on top. Hilarious.
This exact thing 'literally' happened to me on day 2 of Shadowlands. 'Pro' players in a random dungeon expecting me on my first day of playing to have mastered everything, called me arrogant, kicked me from the group, and proceeded to insult me in whisper for the next two hours. xD
yup, had something similar happen in one of the Zul'dazar dungeons. Got feared into a group of mobs which wiped us and two of them literally interrogated me in and out of the dungeon. The exception was that I was a dps at the time. The thing is though, I've had instances like that and then I get times where the group is good and well mannered but most of the time I get a group of silent speedrunners that leave me in the dust
"the one you cant pause" soooo good
"The Monk Experience" was the first video I saw by you and I only recently realized it was you who made it. My favorite part about finding new WoW machinima makers is watching them get better and better with every video. I absolutely love how over-the-top your animation style has become and how much it's improved over the years. Your videos have become some of my favorite WoW-related machinimas and I look forward to everything you put out through Shadowlands! :)
i got kicked from my last group because two of the dps were just aimlessly walking around, aggroed 2 separate groups, we wipe. grp immediately turned on me and raaaaggged lol tanklyfe
This was absolutely hilarious !! def earned that sub !
That guy yelling tank noob as he is dying is just priceless 😂😭
how has it taken me this long for this to pop up on my feed,youtube has robbed me
"You know, the one you can't pause"
Oh my god this brought me back some painful memories.
When the frog got kicked and floppily flew away was hilarious. 10/10 simulation of a tank. Never in my life have I had to ask myself so often; "what is my party doing?". Thanks for a good vid Captain Grim.
Pretentious healers are the worst I’ve had a guy just decide not to heal me because I pulled a group a didn’t know I could skip
Not to forget the voidless stress the healer is feeling incompetent for not being able to outheal that damage.
You describe my pain in 2:56 minutes. A minute of silence for all those tanks, and then you have people in mythics plus cursing why in 40 minutes there isn't a tank... #respectthetank
Love that at 1:05 even the mobs are turning with the tank going "really?" The fear pulling is also 100% accurate for that dungeon. Pretty sure i saw on Ony whelp get pulled in there once becaus the person ran so far.
Can't believe someone made this documentary about my life.
god i love everything that went into this and the jokes in this one are amazing! great work as always Grim!
It would be good if they were jokes. They are real sadly.
The amount of effort put in the animation makes it a thousand times funnier, great job!
The quality of your videos just keeps getting better and better with every upload. Love it.
Thanks! I'm happy you like it :)
I died a little bit inside since this is the exact reason why I quit wow in the first place. I am getting PTSD flashbacks
Basically being trash and getting called out is what the above says..
@@kolz4ever1980 Found the demon hunter DPS
@@ferrykeizer4911 ok?.. congrats? 😆
Fun tank tips for never wiping:
1: Never trust your dps to pull! Their job is not to think, but to kill.
2: Remind your party of how valuable you are, by valiantly pulling and tanking every mob in the dungeon, no matter how small.
3: Fear is a fact of life. After pulling, Draw the enemies somewhere that takes the danger out of lesser builds fleeing for safety. If you completed step two, this is almost always behind you!
4: A DPS that causes too much aggro is a brash interloper, out of their element. Save your taunt for the next pull, and leave them to their fate.
5: OOM stands for 'Overwhelm Other Mobs' and is an invitation to pull again. Train your HP dispenser in proper mana management by giving them a challenge!
the healer crying and typing in chat instead of healing is the most accurate thing ive ever seen
Captain Grim, I gotta say im sure im not the only but man, every single one of your videos is a gem, and im sure it takes or it seems to look it takes a lot of effort to make these, I dont think i have ever laughed a video on youtube as hard and often as everytime i watch one of your videos, cheers
really appreciate the message, thanks
That's some sick animation there wtf?! Well done. The struggle of tanks is real.
Dude i called that "tank noob" so perfectly :D
best moment of the video! :))
As a tank I have strong position here: if I see that I leave IMMEDEATELY
The International Brotherhood of Tanks offer support in these trying times.
Tanks quick queue. Healers are so common now that its usually a 5 minute+ wait for them.
When i used to tank (gave it up during early Legion after having put up with groups like this) every time i joined a group, i told them straight, at the start that i operated on one rule "you pull it, you tank it"
i had a lot of dps (especially mages and hunters) giving me abuse over this, i'd make sure the rest of the group were okay, just not them, until they either wound their necks in and chilled the hell out, or left the team (usually left)
That feign death timing is so SPECIFIC
How can you create such perfection... I swear your videos are the ones I laugh the most with on the whole Internet. Thanks
It was the decaying and despising “...noooooob” for me☠️☠️☠️
I play as a tank and I know this situation very well. Thanks for making a video for all the tanks.
As a tank. This hit me very personally T.T
I legit feel sorry for this tank. His facial expressions! 🥺
I died a little when he was falling :(
I love how the pack just stops attacking the tank just to watch the whole group just reason out why they can't interrupt the screech thing
0.23 The orcs expression is priceless! Epic video as always! 👍
@@CaptainGrim /Wave - Heya Grim , your videos are always so entertaining mate , never fail to get a great laugh from them.
👍
Just watched your video right after getting wiped in a dungeon, I can relate. I was playing pal tank. The healer was not careful enough, he was caught in an insta kill AOE. No heal, no more group.
All I got was : "Tank noob" "Dumb"
Thank you dear group for support. I'll go pal ret next time.
As a Vengeance Demon Hunter, I endorse this video.
And, yes, I’ve actually been top of the dps meter a few times.
Same even play same spec
Seriously though I only can cast disrupt and sigal of silence and sigal of misery mobs so many times
0:30 The standard action bar for Hunters
"Retail, a momument to our suffering."
Same in Classic, cept the game is easier so it's even more of a question; "Why do you fail...."
I love how even the mobs waited to see what each dps would do for the spell
finally someone doing good machinima, was long ago i was watching this type of videos and keep up the good work :D
