I actually would've loved to see you actually try to make a working "auto attacks only" build, but with stuff like windfury, sceals, anything you want, as long as it's buff on your auto attacks and not an ability you have to press to do dmg (+ with random enchants!
Same, was kinda hoping it would be like that as well. With how the challenge is atm it´s a bit too restricted for my taste. Bear and cat form should be allowed as well.
with your method, which ive actually done in felforged, cat form is the go to for it. mainhand and the swashbuckler re that increases haste and you can get hella fast autos with certain talent picks. bladeflurry i think if you were to allow buffs. flametongue/frostbrand for enhance. poisons is no go since your not using a offhand for deadly/instant combo
I think great restriction for that challenge, is you cant press any ability buttons and deal dmg with it, so windfury, seals, buffs, heals, debuffs and any auto use of skills on attack would be fine.
This video was some kind of fresh air. Not focusing on builds and dungeons or raids but just doing challange and world quests. Kinda fun to watch. I would like to see you try and do all 3 challanges at once. A long series. Nightmare + Ironman/Survivalist + Resolute.
I awesome that you seemed to just enjoy going along for the ride. We get quotes like “I love it when you actually get to see your character parry, you know?” - Atis
Fuck it. Love your content. You honestly have a great voice for it. It's both soothing and just genuine excitement from time to time. Favorite RUclipsr for a while now and I'm always so happy when a new vid drops. Would love to see a crossover with you and other content creators. I really like skwidlegs for ascension and Marcelian online for dragonflight.
Since you are using warrior's talent Sword Spec, then go for Deep Wounds too, both have proc effects, plus your comments about the stomach cuts and so on are actually pretty dope and would fit perfect with the Deep Wounds talent and this can add up a bit more flavor to the character. Love the idea of the challenge, but for sure go for the Deep Wounds. :)
Awesome adventure! Glad you were able to push through and overcome your set challenges. Would be cool to see them implement this as another challenge mode for leveling! - Fearce
I often use your videos to check if you've done a build I'm theorycrafting before, and this one in particular has some mental juices flowing. If you'd picked up a combo point generator to allow for potentially grabbing Slice and Dice, you could use the Setup talent to generate points, then get a good chunk of attack speed for close to a minute with the blue slice and dice enchant and the two-point talent. Even more if you also managed to grab something like Windfury Totem. I definitely think going 2h was the right choice here though, dual-wield doesn't offer enough real benefit since you can't use damage procs (and would've locked you out of the warrior strength-to-parry talent anyhow). -Hoovesmcgee
ddi this back in the day on accident with a hunter build went through 1-60 with just auto shot and serpent sting and it was PAIN, cant imagine nightmare and melee monkaS
better than a Netflix show actually on the edge of my seat I went for a nightmare/ironman for my first character on Project Ascension I can really relate T.T

Arbitrary limitations is the most fun way to play games :) Auto attack away! I recently made a tank char focusing on just reflect damage. So inefficient, but kinda fun.
I got a challenge for you, nightmare ironman, you have to roleplay as a rogue class meaning you can't use any ability or gear a rogue wouldn't have access to. Would be fun to see a classed build without heals and with missing abilities. Gotta really on luck to get the good rogue spells.
I swore I would never play draft mode on Thrall but 300 McDouble videos video and you finally broke me. Tried Thrall and I'm loving it. You really are the BEST advertising for Ascension. IGN Otep
Mcdubs on the Nightmare content! looking forward to future builds man Already bout to tinker with Hoarfrost and Absolute Zero on a Tank build at some point on an INT hero, but been enjoying Serpent Form for the time being. Appreciate ya dude! 💖🌟✨💖 -Deathglance
I know you have done retail content before but have you heard of the hardcore challenge in classic? That could be some great content if it sounds fun for you
I always thought about builds where you just max simple things out like this auto attack one, I've thought about also thorn only damage. Curthalyon would love to play with you some time in game.
If you are enjoying the world, maybe doing another turtle wow series? Can use video titles like "Trying Classic+ New Hyjal Dungeon???" And get those nice clicks since it seems like your necromancer video had a similar appeal. Regardless, I'll be watching. Love the vids mcdubs, busy with work so I don't play anymore but your vids are always great.
If only there was an unarmed enchant that was cool for challenges like these... I also appreciated the self narration of combat :< embrace the inner roleplayer Mc D
Its unfortunate, but atm aside from the mount I cant find it really worth it to do any of the challenge modes. The gear the boxes offer really isnt worth it because it doesnt seem any better then the prestige boxes. -Landengen
i would like to point out that you said you weren't taking windfury, which is an auto attack proc effect, but took sword mastery, which is an auto attack proc effect.
@@Mcdoubles but by the rules you yourself set, it was fine given how windfury does no damage of it's own. if your hold up was the talent ability conflict than sure. but they both function the exact same with one requiring up-keep and the other not.
I see you are doing nightmare mode which seems interesting. if you want to have the hardest challenge atm I would "challenge" you to the triple challenge (Ironman, Nightmare, Resolute) to get the obsidian worldbreaker. would recommend you to make a whole lets play-ish series since I am 10 hrs in and am lvl 25 XD -Gvt or Bearvg
i think bleed is totally viable and thematic for a auto attack only build. Sharp things cut.. cuts... dare I say it? ...bleed. anyway, still interesting to watch! Not a challenge most would accept. =)
Try an Ironmanchallenge and you can only use your Fist OR Fistweapon without heirloom items. But you can use Abilitys that make dmg but you need to look if they can be use unarmed or with fistweapon
hey man i watch almost all your vids as they come out as of like 2 years ago, normally i work 12 hours night 7 days a week but i have 4 days off if you want to play for a random 2 player challenge you might think of id be down much love
Mcdoubles im in need of you opinion. Im here because im upset over a specific change to a LRE, Mana Fiend more specifically. If you haven't seen it already they nefed the tank version of the build, but at the same time the dps version got caught in the crossfire. What do you think about nerfing the tank version and kill the dps version at the same time for no reason.
I always had this fantasy of a warcraft anime of "you" as the player is the main character. Personally, I thought the movie a bit before WoD was decent enough but a show/anime would be a better way to showcase the story of WoW.
If you want a game focused on the world and really based around the story. Try FFXI it's got a story that I haven't found any game to beat it and a soundtrack like no other
Hey interesting build Interested in knowing something, i have to download ascension everytime i want to play it. it doesnt seem to save to my harddrive is this a bug or intended. - Tuskyalt
It's just the way they do patches. I don't think you're actually downloading it again it just looks that way. I had the same question months ago and that's what people told me
@@Mcdoubles tha me for swift reply and fair enough, love your details build btw been playing it now just waiting on that multi shot card to finish it off
Would love to see you do a healer build, currently Im playing PoP (prayer of preservation) and it seems very strong for M+. Would love to see your own spin on it to maximize healing. Cheers friend! -Gunrae/Hellslinger
I wanna say "Fun video man!" But this was just meh :P Cool thought though. I really hope that the next Chapter opens up as much as it looks like it will! GG // Majj
reading comprehension must be hard. Seal of command: "All main hand auto attacks.... deal additional holy damage". It is the auto attacks that deal damage. Windfury yeah, it's off the table it doesn't mention anything about AAs.

Not trying to be rude, and I haven’t watched the full video. But to the point where im at, you would never choose something that could heal you. You would only choose things that you could use like every couple of minutes and situational
reckoning is a proc so you shouldnt have taken it if that was the challenge, plus windfury is all auto atk based unlike bleed not sure why you didnt use it if your useing reckoning. you could do this by taking 3 sets of armor lvl 1 then useing the armor to stg talents with the crit talents, almost everything els is proc based so you would have a lot of unused talents. fun challenge though
My ruleset was just to only take things that give me more auto attacks. I think the only thing that truly is an iffy pick is sword spec bc they changed it on ascension and I didn't realize it (it does 120% dmg not 100%)
