Thanks for sparing your time in return. Learnt a ton from you, you are the real MVP here ❤️ we will do that 4 hours podcast session one day on affixes! ;)
Quazii you are an amazing host. Small questions leading to big answers and you give your guest ample time to answer without coming across as in the back seat. Do not give this up!!!!!
Wing us up was the best resource to improve my game play in BFA and Shadowlands. I had to main Ret pally after season 1 in DF. Ellesmere’s thoughts on pugging to improve healer play is so true! Nothing teaches you crisis management like a +8 key where folks are still learning mechanics. Great video!
Great interview, Quazii! Couldn't agree more with Ellesmere. I truly hope Blizzard is listening in regards to player frustrations with M+ affixes and depletion.
wow that's a long time ago, whats your name in-game! I think i might actually remember playing with you on stream - there was always the same few familiar faces (: hope you been well.
That was an amazing and informative interview! Great job both Quazii and Ellesmere. This is a hall of fame interview when it comes to WoW Mythic+ environment.
I'm not usually one for wow Podcasts, I'll watch the class guides and dungeon guides but if it's Quazii? I'm in. Can't wait to see what else is coming.
This isn't just World of Warcraft/Mythic + advice. This is life advice. Building a "successful" life is all about networking, being kind, and putting your best foot forward when opportunity presents itself. You both did a fantastic job with this podcast and your setup is awesome Quazii.
It’s the same issue as in lol. People want to be the main character. In lol it’s the early surrender if they get killed even if their team is actually winning the game. In wow it’s being the carry that has twice as much dps as the second dps.
It's even worse in classic. In retail you can still find folks who play for the team because there are so many things that can kill you compared to classic. E.g. incorrectly coordinating interrupts in M+.
In my eyes Quazii is one of the best youtuber when it comes to added value to the WoW community. Great content, informative and always out to help us enjoy the game more :). Great interview with Ellesmere! Thanks you so much Ellesmere for your views and experience. I hope to see more great interviews!
ascending as a healer in wow in like cosplaying at a punching bag in a fighting gym, once I was able to determine a person died without using a single ability or HS or potion i was able to stop beating myself up.
The gunshot weakaura is such a meme and at the same time the goat of auras. Me and my friends always laugh our asses off with it but also recognize it’s effectiveness. Great interview.
I was watching Ellesmere when he was freshly rerolling to MW this season. Watching him learn in impossibly hard content, and how radiantly happy he was with the spec and learning (despite the toughness of learning in WF keys) was so refreshing that it rebooted the season for me. This has been, by a very long shot, the most progress I've ever had, and the furthest I've ever gone in wow. From barely above keystone hero and soon quitting, to approaching 3.6k and 8/9M as a healer for the first time, and meeting lots of people along the way. Thanks Ellesmere!
My god, so many great points being made here. The best by far was the proposal to change affix combos into 1 negative + 1 positive. I've said this before and I'll say it again, since it even complements what Ellesmere said: Just create a whole new list of affixes, exactly as many as there are today. Swap them from negative to positive. There you go. You now have a similar but simmetrically opposite large pool of affixes to mess around with.
Really liked this interview, everything Ellesmere was talking about is exactly what i been telling my group constantly. The importance of interrupts and controlling any given pull and being consistent with it, is so much more important than being top of the dmg meter as a DPS. As a DPS my goal when i pug is to always be the person with the most stops and interrupts on things that are actually important. If i need to make a choice of sacrificing dmg or keep nuking instead i will always sacrifice dmg in order to make sure something dangerous is not going through.
I feel like so many people should see this, and think about the stuff said. There are so many simple things to improve on a step by step basis that makes all the difference to all you do and how well you perform.
NGL... This video gave so much hype to look for a steady group and push keys Damn, I stoped doing keys 3 weeks ago but now I can't wait to get home and play the game. Amazing talk. You two are really knowledgeable and convey your message in a very sensible but not condescending way
honestly, I relate a lot to your comment. I literally had a few inactive friends reach out after watching the episode, asking for a reunion come season 4 for M+ something about ellesmere that just inspires everyone to work on themselves, and to reach out like he did to new players
Its interesting. There are other wow"podcasts" out there. But this is the first one, I actually stayed to listen. You ask the kind of questions I want to hear the answers to. Great job!
One of the best video I’ve seen in WoW! It’s really interesting to have those deep thoughts about the game, the skill, the mindset and the wellbeing. The questions were very relevant Great job!
That comment about people just playing for themselves absolutely nails the pug experience. I do a lot of pug runs (as either tank or heals) and while most are ok, the difference between the very bad (struggling to keep everyone alive and/or maintain control) and the very good (where no one seems to step in anything) is just that; some people just expect to be healed regardless of what they do and others know how to make your life easy
Quazii and Ellesmere; you are both amazing! Thank you for your contributions to WoW! It seems like Blizz watched this interview and followed Ellesmere's suggestions; his views on affixes were followed to a T!
Ellesmere is the reason I’ve stuck with hpala and his wings is up site is the reason I broke 3k io. Great interview between two legends! Looking forward to see more.
This is not just WoW advice, it's life advice. The most successful people in life and even those in your personal circles are the ones who make the most connections to other people. Having that network opens up so many doors for you and gives you opportunities that most other people won't get. Of course personal ability, especially in this case, is required but no one ever makes it alone.
i disagree i retired at 21 did it all by my self!! now i don't got worry about money & connections but I'm not in the same rat race as other humans most of your kind die at 18 and get berried at 80. we all are reading the book of life but 98% of humans are not on the same page as me
I was a high end healer back in Cata (not well-known in the community at large, but highly coveted by all the top guilds on my server), and I can really tell that Ellesmere knows his stuff without even having watched him play. Everything he said about learning to heal mirrored my own journey back in the day: learning the damage events for every fight, knowing everyone's mitigation patterns, triaging properly, and practicing in PUGs. Sadly I have since shattered my arm, and it's no longer capable of reacting fast enough to heal at the level that is currently required by the game. However, listening to his words of encouragement really make me want to give it a go regardless. Maybe now that Blizzard is talking about removing the timers at the low end keys I'll give M+ a try again.
Interesting talk. I like the thought of being amongst high keys pushers, it makes sense to know that players around you too have that same mentality and its safer to assume that in the run.
@@smiley-xh3hp I wonder how you live like this. Making statements based on no evidence. Just small dick energy. Must be a struggle. I wish you all the best.
I can get 3k+ in pugs suuuper easy as healer carry. except paladin... that was not so easy but doable. He makes a lot of good points and If I wanted to explain healing keys to new and old I would want to say the same things. I couldn't agree more.
Next week on Ted talk… Quazii and Ellesmere discuss organizational management and keys to success! This was solid advice that applies anywhere in life you are looking to succeed.
i have played some keys with ellesmere back in BFA and he make me learn taking stuff during 20++ keys! sincerly not because he is an elite player that he is toxic sincerly im happy to see this and he is still the same person
Loved this podcast as a starting-to-do-higher-keys healer! Many tips I can actually put into practice in my keys. Could you also put this podcast on Spotify / Apple Podcasts? I have RUclips premium so I've downloaded this video to listen to in my car, but it would be more convenient to follow the podcast on Spotify for example.
The meta is relevant for different reasons at lower keys than at higher keys. The meta matters at high keys because the difference can matter. The meta matters at low keys because people think the difference matters.
Not true, i'd rather have a good player with an out of meta spec that plays super well than a player with a meta spec that sucks balls. And he confirmed it "bring the player, not the spec" "The spec becomes important once you are near the world first key levels" That applies to pugs. Once you start doing 25-26 keys (i don't know now what the equivalent in the new system) that's when the player might need to bring a meta spec.
havnt played my m+ disc priest since january after struggling to move pass 21+ keys (playing mythic+ first time ever). but wanna try the new season again after listening to the podcast. nice topics 👍🏻
Hey Qzazii, now that titanforge podcast is gone, good to see that there is a new podcast i can watch instead :D But form the format i would love to see a second regular person along you because i think conversation between three ppl add so much more depth to a discussion
Those are amazing topics and really good answers from ellesmere! I want to disagree on the damage-part tho. I feel like he does not have the connection to the 50% Mark anymore. Alot of the times there are people that stop very good but for example: let's say there is an add that needs to be stopped on every cast ever 3s. You can rotate your cooldowns to stop it everytime but especially if you dont bring meta specs eventually you run out of stops. If you dont do enough damage you'll eventually fail. All his points are fair and correct imo IF everyone does slightly above average damage. You dont have to be the best dps and stops/control are more important but if you do the worst possible dps you are the problem.
If Blizz wants to have both positive and negative affixes iat the same time t's literally possible to do it with the current ones, example, entangling, imagine if it worked in the following way:" it starts the same but, if you manage to get out of it in the first 1.75 secs you get a move speed buff which increases that by 40% for 2 secs, if you fail, nothing happens unless you stay in it until it ends, then you should get punished by a 40% slow for 3 secs " or how about this for afflicted: "dispelling the afflicted grands you up to 120%/50% healing/damage bonus for 2.5 seconds depending on how fast you dispelled the afflicted, healing it instead gives you half the bonus but for double the duration, if you fail, you get the same amount as healing reduction, and there's is only for 1 afflicted being. Like, everything i mentioned is very easy, doable and i've also went out of my way to give them the proper numbers which work very well across the majority of skill level.
my biggest issue with mythic + and pugs in general is simply just that this is sadly not how that world works :/ people say that healer dps does not really matter outside the very top or that some mistakes are simply not a healers mistakes yet they are still blamed by like 95% of pugs for it i cannot count the amount of times i have tried mythic on my healers and was kicked for 1. failing to do much damage during a run 2. failing to swap back from dps to healing and letting people die 3. letting the tank die in seconds after he pulled far too many mobs at once 4. letting dps die from standing in random avoidable damage there are probably many more but those are the most common cause of kicks for me and when the vast majority of your runs end like this it really becomes hard to just ignore them as people tell you to do and hosting your own keys dont really matter since its still the same people joining you regardless of who's key it is and since i cannot dedicate time to a permanent group of people as i am already involved in stuff like cataclysm on that front i cant really do the find some friends and just do mythics with them either i do think sometimes people who reach the top in stuff like raiding and dungeons kinda tend to forget how big of an issue all these things are since they dont really HAVE to deal with them as much if at all anymore
going to give TWW a good try again aswell but man healer in particular kinda feels like the hardest job to get into just with how many things you can be blamed for tanks cant really be blamed for a dps mistake unless they directly caused it like positioning a boss wrong and dps cant really be blamed for a tank not doing his job right but healers seem to be defaulted on most of the time Like sure the dps stood in the fire.........but you the healer should just have kept them alive and pumped a bit more right ?
Little late but, on key depletion... I think if you finish a key it shouldn't deplete for going over the time. However if they key isn't completed then it should deplete. Because if you're group is capable of finishing the key then it's like some stuff happened and lost too much time. And if a group can't finish a key then it's lowered for the difficulty. Of course "leavers" happens, but I think this would be a good solution for everyone.
High level players most of the time have very poor understanding of what "normal" play looks like. More dps = pack of mobs dies sooner. When you get shit on by mechanics because you missplay, dps feels like it helps you. High level players are 100% correct when looking at the facts but 1 less cast of a mob might save you a death in an already messi m+ run. Ofc just playing the mechanics correctly would make it the easiest.
I think the problem with saying you don't need the meta spec until higher key levels is that some players probably *do* need the meta specs earlier to compensate for lower skill levels. (As much as I would love for people to try to improve...)

I love you @ellesmeregaming. You inspired my h pally adventure
Both of you guys are amazing!
Came for Quazii but stayed for Ellesmere - what a down to earth person, learnt loads. Thanks for sharing.
Quazii you are an amazing host. Small questions leading to big answers and you give your guest ample time to answer without coming across as in the back seat. Do not give this up!!!!!
Yeah, Quazii became such a good interviewer, I hope he makes many more podcasts!
Immediately subbed. So happy you're experimenting with different content, I'm here for it!

The flow of this podcast was so natural and great!! Big thank you for everything you do Quazii!!
Great interview, Quazii!
Couldn't agree more with Ellesmere. I truly hope Blizzard is listening in regards to player frustrations with M+ affixes and depletion.
I'm SO happy to see you're doing a podcast, Quazii. I remember doing community M+ with you back in Shadowlands and you've come so far. Amazing!
wow that's a long time ago, whats your name in-game! I think i might actually remember playing with you on stream - there was always the same few familiar faces (:
hope you been well.

You have such a nice smile Quazii. I usually look at the guests for any interview/podcast still thing but your smile would catch my eye so much!
Hunting for the players that play for the group and not for themselves...
So. God damn. Rare
It’s the same issue as in lol. People want to be the main character. In lol it’s the early surrender if they get killed even if their team is actually winning the game. In wow it’s being the carry that has twice as much dps as the second dps.
@@NamNguyen-jq1rryou can say this about any game
It's even worse in classic.
In retail you can still find folks who play for the team because there are so many things that can kill you compared to classic.
E.g. incorrectly coordinating interrupts in M+.
Yup that is how i look at people playing too.
What you mean so rare? Every team competing is following that legacy, so your experience must be bounded by either friends or pugs that were unlucky.
In my eyes Quazii is one of the best youtuber when it comes to added value to the WoW community. Great content, informative and always out to help us enjoy the game more :). Great interview with Ellesmere! Thanks you so much Ellesmere for your views and experience. I hope to see more great interviews!
"WoW is full of introverts" The fact he gets and understands what he just said is another reason why his advise has substantial value.
As a healer in WOW, I learned a lot from this interview!
10/10
💙💜💙
Two of my favorite personalities in WoW that I've learned a ton from. Great talks!!
ascending as a healer in wow in like cosplaying at a punching bag in a fighting gym, once I was able to determine a person died without using a single ability or HS or potion i was able to stop beating myself up.
quaazi looks like he wants to hug him when he talks about how important ui is lol
Legend quazii! Thank you for this initiative!
Edit: and a great guest. Hopping for more healing profiles like Laren for us shammy lovers!
Insanely good interview questions (and answers!)
The gunshot weakaura is such a meme and at the same time the goat of auras. Me and my friends always laugh our asses off with it but also recognize it’s effectiveness. Great interview.

That means so much, thanks you 🥲
Your mic and lighting quality is phenomenal quazii
Holy shit what a collaboration I did not expect
The kids struggling with 16s and declining non-meta players not gonna like this one 🤣
My god, so many great points being made here.
The best by far was the proposal to change affix combos into 1 negative + 1 positive. I've said this before and I'll say it again, since it even complements what Ellesmere said:
Just create a whole new list of affixes, exactly as many as there are today. Swap them from negative to positive. There you go. You now have a similar but simmetrically opposite large pool of affixes to mess around with.
Very interesting and entertaining, also quazzi you seem having a lot of fun
Amazing interview, great work
Really liked this interview, everything Ellesmere was talking about is exactly what i been telling my group constantly.
The importance of interrupts and controlling any given pull and being consistent with it, is so much more important than being top of the dmg meter as a DPS.

Damn, I stoped doing keys 3 weeks ago but now I can't wait to get home and play the game.
Amazing talk. You two are really knowledgeable and convey your message in a very sensible but not condescending way
honestly, I relate a lot to your comment. I literally had a few inactive friends reach out after watching the episode, asking for a reunion come season 4 for M+
something about ellesmere that just inspires everyone to work on themselves, and to reach out like he did to new players
This video isn't about wow
But about 2 wholesome persons speaking how to be a better human
❤
Thanks for that
Love this new avenue you walk into Quazzi! You contribute already so much to WoW players and this is topping the already useful videos about M+.
I listened to this today, it was awesome! I’m not a healer so I’m really looking forward to Andybrew on your next one!
Great episode! Not a WoW player, but still enjoyed listening to the conversations had!:D
Great video. My go-to tank and healer advisors in the same video, awesome!
Its interesting. There are other wow"podcasts" out there. But this is the first one, I actually stayed to listen. You ask the kind of questions I want to hear the answers to. Great job!

I think Encrypted was one of the best things we had as far as "seasonal affixes" it gave the feeling of having actual control over your run.
I’ll always watch anything Quazzi does remotely involving WoW. Great job
This guy is a Chad. Every guild needs one chill and grounded guy like him.
Great podcast. Exactly what I love as a player trying to get better
good episode! never healed in my life, but Elle is awesome

Oh man, a podcast by quazil? Yes please! You are a legend! I am happy to see you striving out here!
Great interview, thanks dudes :)
Great format and idea, i rly like your approach on questions mate
Two of my favourite players in one place ❤
The part about player not playing for themselves but the group at the start is why I'm playing aug, it fits my philosophy
This is not just WoW advice, it's life advice. The most successful people in life and even those in your personal circles are the ones who make the most connections to other people.

"Try a week in pugs"

I only pug

your weekly 18 doesnt count as "try pugging", try pushing with pugs
@@smiley-xh3hp I wonder how you live like this. Making statements based on no evidence. Just small dick energy. Must be a struggle. I wish you all the best.
Well, try a week in an organized group. Did you see the diff?

Dude your podcast is a banger!
I legitimately don't know what it would be like without quazi donating his knowledge and profiles to the wow community. I appreciate it for sure!
ahhh yes, this is what i need. a quazii podcast. good man
havnt played my m+ disc priest since january after struggling to move pass 21+ keys (playing mythic+ first time ever). but wanna try the new season again after listening to the podcast.
nice topics 👍🏻
Cool to see a honest good interviewer that lets his guests talk. Way better than False news (Merica) do.
1 hour of good stuff
This just made so much sense
Great video, excited for more.
Hey Qzazii, now that titanforge podcast is gone, good to see that there is a new podcast i can watch instead :D But form the format i would love to see a second regular person along you because i think conversation between three ppl add so much more depth to a discussion
Or two or three quest, but it’s the first ep, I’m sure he has a plan!
Those are amazing topics and really good answers from ellesmere! I want to disagree on the damage-part tho. I feel like he does not have the connection to the 50% Mark anymore. Alot of the times there are people that stop very good but for example: let's say there is an add that needs to be stopped on every cast ever 3s.

Quazii has a podcast??? Awesome, hoping he can fill the content gap left by Titanforge podcast disbanding.
Quazii - Ellesmere - Dratnos would be a fantastic podcast. All analytical, nobody talking over one another.
Great podcast
This was so cool!
AMAZING CONTENT GUYS
Great explanations, thank you :)
Looking C R I S P with the high res cam, nice setup.
If Blizz wants to have both positive and negative affixes iat the same time t's literally possible to do it with the current ones, example, entangling, imagine if it worked in the following way:" it starts the same but, if you manage to get out of it in the first 1.75 secs you get a move speed buff which increases that by 40% for 2 secs, if you fail, nothing happens unless you stay in it until it ends, then you should get punished by a 40% slow for 3 secs " or how about this for afflicted: "dispelling the afflicted grands you up to 120%/50% healing/damage bonus for 2.5 seconds depending on how fast you dispelled the afflicted, healing it instead gives you half the bonus but for double the duration, if you fail, you get the same amount as healing reduction, and there's is only for 1 afflicted being.
Like, everything i mentioned is very easy, doable and i've also went out of my way to give them the proper numbers which work very well across the majority of skill level.
my biggest issue with mythic + and pugs in general is simply just that this is sadly not how that world works :/
people say that healer dps does not really matter outside the very top or that some mistakes are simply not a healers mistakes yet they are still blamed by like 95% of pugs for it
i cannot count the amount of times i have tried mythic on my healers and was kicked for
1. failing to do much damage during a run
2. failing to swap back from dps to healing and letting people die
3. letting the tank die in seconds after he pulled far too many mobs at once
4. letting dps die from standing in random avoidable damage
there are probably many more but those are the most common cause of kicks for me
and when the vast majority of your runs end like this it really becomes hard to just ignore them as people tell you to do
and hosting your own keys dont really matter since its still the same people joining you regardless of who's key it is
and since i cannot dedicate time to a permanent group of people as i am already involved in stuff like cataclysm on that front i cant really do the find some friends and just do mythics with them either
i do think sometimes people who reach the top in stuff like raiding and dungeons kinda tend to forget how big of an issue all these things are since they dont really HAVE to deal with them as much if at all anymore
going to give TWW a good try again aswell but man healer in particular kinda feels like the hardest job to get into just with how many things you can be blamed for
tanks cant really be blamed for a dps mistake unless they directly caused it like positioning a boss wrong
and dps cant really be blamed for a tank not doing his job right
but healers seem to be defaulted on most of the time
Like sure the dps stood in the fire.........but you the healer should just have kept them alive and pumped a bit more right ?
Little late but, on key depletion... I think if you finish a key it shouldn't deplete for going over the time. However if they key isn't completed then it should deplete. Because if you're group is capable of finishing the key then it's like some stuff happened and lost too much time. And if a group can't finish a key then it's lowered for the difficulty. Of course "leavers" happens, but I think this would be a good solution for everyone.
Is this a new channel by quazii? how am i just finding out
High level players most of the time have very poor understanding of what "normal" play looks like.
More dps = pack of mobs dies sooner. When you get shit on by mechanics because you missplay, dps feels like it helps you.
High level players are 100% correct when looking at the facts but 1 less cast of a mob might save you a death in an already messi m+ run. Ofc just playing the mechanics correctly would make it the easiest.
Blizz need to standardize the UI. It can’t be that you are not able to compete without perfect UI and Weakauras
This is kind of sad the the most important improvement come from change ui with addons rather than skill
Skill is such a small portion.
Pls put your podcasts on spotify ❤ there are so good!!
I think the problem with saying you don't need the meta spec until higher key levels is that some players probably *do* need the meta specs earlier to compensate for lower skill levels. (As much as I would love for people to try to improve...)
Love it, please make an rss link for podcast apps!
I'd love to see an episode with Preach someday!
