    Parry haste is also a major factor why we want to kill enemies 3 levels below us, and highly avoid 3 levels above us. The chance to parry for a mob at 3 lvls higher (Generally) is roughly 12.5%. This is a whole 6% jump of parry chance compared to a mob that is 2 levels higher.
    I highly advise learning about the effects of Defense and Weapon Skill. It explains why humans are so good, why melees should always stick to green mobs, and why to be at the back of mobs ideally.

    I have another tip: Get comfortable with items and spells you dont use often. How often do you need intimidating shout or sticky glue? If you play well, maybe once a week. Which means you have no mucscle memory. It got me killed when I asspulled a Stegodon in Ungoro. I had a break before playing again, so I wasnt too used to using Target Dummy and I had only used 3 glues until lvl 55 when I died.
    Substitue items which are consumables like the glue with a netomatic if you are a engineer to get into the habit of pressing that button and have the effect of the item mimicked. I use intimidating shout when fighting two mobs to hamstring + shout one and kill the other. Thats how I stay sharp, so Im not just to my 123 kill buttons but all of them.

  • @LobbeWOW
    @LobbeWOW Год назад +2

    Leash range is also a factor - you cannot get a mob to drop aggro on you by simply running circles around it where you aggroed it, nether can you keep a mob leashed consistently by simply stopping for X amount of time while you are on a mount as an example, nor will a mob facilitate its own leash timer reset by forcing you to stand still, be that through a root or stun effect.
    i find it easier to think of mobs as extreme "stand your ground" enthusiasts, meaning they will fight you and beat you to death so long as they can justify self defense, but the moment you appear to flee from them for a long enough distance without posing a threat to them, they will return to their little "home base", waiting for another chance to "self defend".

    Nice tips, especially the leash. However, IIRC in WoW the Z-axis is the vertical position (up/down), Y is horizontal position (east/west) and X is depth position (north/south). Also it's impossible that the game only checks for the X axis otherwise any mob on the east or west axis could hit you, no matter their distance. I think you meant the game only checks your 2D position (X and Y axis) but not the Z axis. But your final explanation is correct. (Please correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't played WoW in ages)

      @noname-gp6hk Год назад +1

      Yeah I came here to add that - I think the idea she's trying to communicate is correct, just the exact explanation is a bit off. The horizontal plane is the X and Y axis, and Z is the vertical dimension. The game is checking distance across the XY plane and not the Z axis. And that's what the message was even if it was explained a little wrong. It's super helpful to be reminded that mobs can still hit you even if they're above you on a fucken staircase... Thanks for the reminder. That would be one hell of a way for a run to end.

    From my experience, one of the best way to runaway from mobs are running diagonally strafe+forward.. or forward+mouse-rightclick with a slight twist.. you can pretty much evade most of the melee attacks and wiil not be stunned. Used this technique since 2005 😅 about 95% times works like a charm. Also when passing by mobs (riding mount), its best to just go straight through instead of trying to go around. 😊

You can add needed npc's by typing /unitscan "npc name". Good luck.

    I think your description of the Z axis is off, Z is typically the vertical dimension. The XY plane is horizontal and the Z axis is height. But either way, point well received - mobs can hit you from above because the game isn't checking vertical distance. Something I think a lot of us already know but forget about in high pressure situations, especially since most of us have never cared that much about dieing in this game before... Was definitely super helpful for the reminder. Gonna be extra careful around staircases.

    • @hazzxd
      @hazzxd Год назад

      I strongly agree with this. Z is often considered as the vertical axis while X and Y make up the horizontal plane. What Calamity is trying to tell you here that the pure distance from the mob is only calculated according to the horizontal axes, while entirely ignoring the vertical distance, as opposed to calculating the distance based on all 3 axes and then determining if a mob can hit you.
      Edit: particularly saying the game "only checks the X axis" can be interpreted as an even deeper issue, where the game only cares how far you are from a mob with regard to one co-ordinate. It would essentially mean that even if a mob is across the entire zone, it could still hit you if you're on exactly the same X co-ordinate.

    I'm pretty sure it's not just the time that's being considered into leashing but also the distance you kite the mob. I don't know. It just always felt like it's more of a distance issue than time.

      There's a min distance (they won't leash within 31 yards of their spawn) but otherwise it's all based on time

    Seeing a lot of death clips, one tip could also be to bind your hotbars to hotkeys. A lot of deaths come from people trying to panic click on something they havent bound yet

    Does split pulling work on any pack in the game or only the ones that actually do a cry for help ? Great video btw :) new sub

      Any pack outside of a dungeon. Cry for help = social aggro, all mobs do it. Raptors and other mobs that actually do an emote just have a farther range one.
