I'm the hunter in that clip at 1:58 lol I wasn't doing anything at first cause I didn't want aggro on any of that crap. Wanted the tank to pick it up first, also had no clue where he was going with the mobs. We had told that tank about the blue raptors before we even started the dungeon, and kept telling him over and over to move them back before the clip there, he just flat out ignored us :D
Honestly the best thing about HC is seeing the bodies everywhere and wondering what happened. You never see them in regular wow because people just ress.
bro i never even knew you could die in undercity by the elevators, but there were ALOT of bodies and alot of players that learned that you can in fact die in an elevator
Yeah honestly they all should have ditched that Warrior instantly. The hunter left a comment on here about how the whole group was telling him how the blue raptors worked for a long time before even starting the dungeon, and the tank just flat out ignored them.
to answer the guy asking in the twitch comment, noggenfogger doesn't always avoid fal damage. it has a chance to do 3 different effects: shrinks you (makes you visibly smaller), turns you into a skeleton (underwater breathing), and slow fall (for 15 seconds or until debuffed)
To give the guy credit, Guzu not only posted his death clip on his RUclips channel, he also posted a vid of him watching his death scene over and over as he reacted to people reacting to his death clip. I'd love to see that from more streamers (like Gray's infamous alt-tab death)
ohhh poor guzu.. lol.. he prepares for every stage of his levelling with strategies for difficult mobs and quests.. and he goes down like that.. kek no excuses.. day ruined.. hardcore is just.. wow haven't really played for long time, but luv how in classic you can almost instantly recognise any zone or area. they did such a great job giving each area an identity. miss it
I feel ya man. I always pull that crap back across the gap to avoid those adds. And it annoys the hell out of me when some hunter/mage goes ham and locks them onto the bridge.
I was laughing all day at Guzu's hole in one then I died on my 59 Tauren Warrior in EPL because I got randomly layered while fighting an elite that brought me to half health and ganked by a whole new set of elites... it really is all fun and games until you face the crushing depression of seeing a triple digit hour journey go down the drain.
Wasn’t a tail swipe, the boss does a frontal knock back. The second the boss did it the rogue takes agro and it turns. Still his fault, but such bad timing
+ had no blessing + used his last mana for consecration + no cooldowns ready (except for BoP, but no mana for it at the end) If I was him, I probably would have used judgment+seal of wisdom (if too low on mana/hp, then only seal). Dropping low = use BoP and heal up as much as possible and keeping up the regen / AoE to try and finish off the low hp enemies. Then stun one of the remaining guys and try to heal up a bit more, to be safe.
I feel that with every video, Asmon becomes a little more sympathetic with these players. Complimenting their plays, feeling sorry for deaths. I can also feel him itching to get some hc for himself even though he said he wouldn't. Great content, great commentary. Keep it up 😊
Nobody actually wants to play hardcore wow. These streamers just do it because it's endless content. And asmon reviews it because it's endless content without actually playing blizzards trash game.
6:33 IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MEEEE. Rip my lvl 23 druid, back at 17 now. Crazy to see the exact same thing happen to someone else in a complation. That fricken 27 mob comes out of NOWHERE. PTSD moment.
Playing Starfield on my main monitor, Asmon on the second. When I see him fall through that hole at the start of Asmons video, i had just done a grav jump on Starfield and my companion shouted "Another successful jump!" I was confused AF for a second
I'm gonna be honest. Never got a chance to play wow back in the day, and it's too far me me to start now, however, I love watching these vids and asmon breaking them down helps alot. More HC vids pls.
The only correct actions to take at 5:46 are tossing that iron bomb, casting flash of light and switching to devotion aura, then taking down the lowest hp mobs one at a time and hoping it reduces the incoming damage enough to survive. Also he should have stood his ground in his consecration at 5:14 It's also possible had he kept up blessing of sanctuary he would never have gotten that low to begin with.
These clips are awesome cause Guzu died because he didn't let the Tank finish moving the dragon to the wall before he started attacking. And then the WC raptor scream clip is the opposite where the Tank doesn't know to move things back. The lesson to be learned is, Dps - DONT ATTACK SHIT TILL THE TANK IS DONE MOVING THE MOBS TO SAFETY. Tanks - RANGE PULL AND MOVE EVERYTHING BACK
4:00 the whole rest of the group should've just used the stone, after giving the warrior a last good heal. 6:52 Blessing of Freedom ... 12:30 manaburn, of course on the healer ...
hardcore just adds another depth to the game "panic" while before hardcore you just yolo'd and die and just start over now people start to panic and make it even more fun to watch and play
that death at 11:40 ish = the difference between clickers and hotkey users then the next step up is macro users then next step up is macro coders that have 1 button with modifiers like ctrl, shft, etc.
Uldaman has a disgusting level range which is what throws off so many people on top of everything else. Like if you're the same level as the final boss then the mobs at the entrance are already not even going to give you exp.
Ngl i'd be a terrible hardcore healer. If the warrior couldnt follow simple instructions and pulled half the instance, i'm ratting out of there instantly xD
3:50 I hate priests who keep using bubble when they are tight on mana. That bubble is NOT cost effective, it takes too much mana for too little damage absorbed, and also won't allow warriors to gain rage. Just heal, don't use bubble. And as a healer, you don't heal in the middle on the battlefield. You stay far away.
I honestly feel like classic wow is harder leveling up wise vs live. Raids may different but the classic exp and leveling etc is way harder way more mobs do special things that you do not see in live.
Hoooly classic players are something else. Warrior tank who doesn't know how to pull back a pack. Priest healer who acts like he is a god, yet streams himself clicking 90% of his abilities while keyboard turning, and does not even have enemy nameplates on. And a hunter that backpeddles around doing nothing. You really know where it's at, when to be an elite classic player, you got to master the art of mashing your single button rotation, buy the consumables and get the world buffs, and not stand in fire or walk around and aggro half the instance. Still a fun game and all, but I really don't get people who claim it is somehow hard. More work, more grinding maybe.
I got to level 60 on my first try playing solo, I will share a list of very important aspects you need to apply to your leveling playthrough. - Do NOT attempt to fight orange mobs, these need to be treated as elites and avoided entirely. - No going in caves, they usually have fast respawn rates and this combined with the need to double back on yourself to get out is a recipe for disaster and an entirely unnecessary risk. - You should always have the best available potions in abundance and OFF cooldown, if you have taken a potion and it’s on cooldown, don’t pull any mobs until the cd has finished. - Avoid water entirely. Classic is a very old and buggy game, sometimes the water is shallow or there are rocks, curved ledges etc, don’t jump into water off of highly elevated locations, and don’t swim in the water intentionally either, you can’t eat/drink, breath is limited, your movement speed is limited and mobs usually have no movement restriction in there. - Stop. Jumping. Stop jumping so much, jumping creates an unseen hazard for the player and you should only jump when you NEED to, for example, to quick turn during emergency retreats to avoid being dazed. Everywhere you need to get to, can be accessed not by jumping, trust me, it’s a very bad habit. - Follow a detailed online guide for hardcore questing, there are zones you need to avoid entirely like Dustwallow Marsh, and quests you need to avoid entirely like Colonel Kurzen or Hints of a new plague. - NO DUNGEONS. This is a huge risk, think about every time you have died in a dungeon playing WoW, now think about how many times it wasn’t your fault. Dungeoning in WoW puts your faith of survival into other people’s hands. I didn’t do a single dungeon, too much risk. The only time you should do one is if you have 4 friends to play with and you’re on discord communicating, and you have a flask of petrification to take. No flask, no dungeon with friends. If anything bad happens, preemptively leave the group, wait a couple seconds for the 60 second timer to start, take the flask of petri and wait. - Rules of engagement, do not initiate a fight unless your potion is off cooldown, your full health/mana, and you have defensive cooldowns available to use. Do not pull more than 2 mobs, if you accidentally do this, retreat immediately for reset. - Do not be a hero, across your travels you will find others who have taken unnecessary risks and have made a conscious calculated error, do not take any risks in saving someone. Granted, if it’s one mob then by all means kill it and make a friend, friends are great to have, but if it’s 3 mobs chasing someone, leave them to their fate, whatever that may be. - Always follow roads when travelling, they’re safer. - STOP turning your back to the mob, the BIGGEST killer of hardcore players is daze, you run at an angle if there are multiple mobs, or jump turn between attacks if you’re confident and there is only one mob. - A bad player who takes no risks, will reach level 60 before a good player who takes risks. - Hesitation gets you killed, if you ever get the feeling you should flee, you flee. You don’t wait and see how things plan out, you don’t roll the dice and try to outdamage, you don’t use your defensives offensively, and when you decide to flee, don’t panic, panicking gets you killed, keep your health topped, use your defensive, take a pot, and DON’T attack the mob as it will keep it in combat and chase you further. - You need patience and skill, the less you have of one, the more you need of the other, but the most skillful player will never reach 60 without any patience. - If it was easy, everyone would have a level 60 but the truth is that an extremely marginalised proportion of people do, if you see one on your travels, ask them for some advice. - If you’ve made a mistake and your health is topped, a swiftness potion is more valuable than a health potion. - Remember that a large portion of deaths is due to complacency. - NEVER put your survival into someone else’s hands, you rely on yourself for survival, this guarantees no risks. - Questing with others is preferable over questing alone, however if you pull more and take more risks because of it, that completely negates the benefit. Questing with others should mean less downtime, not bigger pulls and higher risk. - Mage AoE farming, don’t do it. The amount of mages who made level 60 by AoE farming are very, very few. The risks are astronomically high to make no mistakes in 2000 pulls, and 1 mistake is all it takes for you to get deleted. Frost nova, blink, these are your DEFENSIVE cooldowns, and should be employed as countermeasures, not as an offensive means to exp farm, the same with a warrior’s retaliation, stop using it offensively. - Zoom OUT, and use nameplates, visibility of everything around you at all times is essential. - Be wary of buildings, and use walls to line of sight casters, stopping a cast is far more important than doing that extra bit of damage. - Remember that with every risk you take, you roll the dice on living or dying, but everything is in your control and you never need to roll the dice. - If you’re fighting mobs that flee at low health, fight them one at a time and apply a slow as they’re getting mid-low health. - Only use fear as a defensive cooldown and last resort, warlocks stop chain fearing and dotting up, you cannot control in which direction the mob will fear into, if you’re a lock, your voidwalker should be tanking like a hunters pet. - Look up a guide online to assist you and stop taking risks, leveling to 60 in hardcore is a marathon not a sprint, trying to shave time off here and there, attacking mobs not at max health/mana, swimming to skip an area, jumping over obstacles, dungeons/elite quests, underleveled for your area, doing orange quests and fighting orange mobs. There are so many ways to cut corners and people die because of it, the reason 60 is such an achievement is because of how arduous it is, and how tempting it can be to cut time off your adventure. I promise you it will take much longer when you take risks, play like a coward, cowards survive. - One final note, if you die don’t lose hope. Learn from the experience, you most likely became complacent and took a risk you wouldn’t have 10 levels ago. - Good Luck.
From a database of 80,892 characters, divided over the 9 classes, a freshly made character’s odds of getting to level 60 are 0.19% Reading these comments, I fully understand why that is.
I legit made it on so many characters to lvl cap without dieing. But if it were hardcore I know I’d lose atleast 3-5 characters from…. Kobold miners. Some kinda raptor or giant kitty in strangle thorn. Fall damage. I’d probably die in Silithus to some dumb elite. Fall damage again. Then I’d make 60.
Someone griefed me tonight, they pulled all the elite orcs in red ridge and sprinted out and stealthed. My group got rooted and I turned on cheetah and got away but I still fell bad about surviving
HC is the gift that keeps on giving
Dying to random mobs has never been so profitable
Literally infinite content 😂 could watch these all week 😂
That's the gift that keeps on giving, Clark.
eventually the novelty will wear off.
No my bussy is
I'm the hunter in that clip at 1:58 lol I wasn't doing anything at first cause I didn't want aggro on any of that crap. Wanted the tank to pick it up first, also had no clue where he was going with the mobs. We had told that tank about the blue raptors before we even started the dungeon, and kept telling him over and over to move them back before the clip there, he just flat out ignored us :D
We told em way more than once man, like I think it was a round robin telling that a-hole how the dungeon worked.
As a fellow hunter, I approve this message.
Honestly the second he ignores what Im saying the same second Im removing him and looking for a new tank :D Its never a good sign when that happens.
I would have left the group, if the tank keeps ignoring stuff that could get us killed.
Honestly the best thing about HC is seeing the bodies everywhere and wondering what happened. You never see them in regular wow because people just ress.
Not to mention that seeing all the corpses instills a certain level of paranoia and fear. Makes me wonder if whatever killed them could kill me.
you also dont get to see what lvl they were either so its always ominous no matter what@@LethalOwl
bro i never even knew you could die in undercity by the elevators, but there were ALOT of bodies and alot of players that learned that you can in fact die in an elevator
they should add dark souls bloodmark style when touching the body, to see the final seconds
Priest at 2:00 made a mistake with his healing. He should have been casting hearthstone.
Seriously. I dont know why they all decided to keep fighting when they could have pulled back and ran across to the exit.
@@BearsDenGaming insert asmongold "you gotta remember these are classic wow players"
Yeah honestly they all should have ditched that Warrior instantly. The hunter left a comment on here about how the whole group was telling him how the blue raptors worked for a long time before even starting the dungeon, and the tank just flat out ignored them.
yep... as soon as that raptor aggroed all the other ones, he should have shielded and hearthed out, or just shielded and ran for the exit.
I love these editors. Just when you think they're out of title ideas, they hit you with another one.

yes, they have pretty good ideas!🙂

Shoutout to Haltern who completely carried that Uldaman group out of that mess.
The Guzu death is my favorite so far. Cornhole is big in Texas. That was WoW cornhole.
I was laughing all day at Guzu's hole in one then I died on my 59 Tauren Warrior in EPL because I got randomly layered while fighting an elite that brought me to half health and ganked by a whole new set of elites... it really is all fun and games until you face the crushing depression of seeing a triple digit hour journey go down the drain.
First clip:
Could´ve been one of the funniest moments experienced in the group on nhc.
Now on hc: one of the funniest moments to everyone else.
that warior at 10:38 was saving his block shield for the next character.
That quote should be the Blizzard catchphrase. "To just lose a character like that? WoW."
I'm posting this before seeing the rest of the video but.
Man. I wasn't expecting Alexstraza boobas to result in someone's demise in one of these.
Those guys at 15:45 had so much fun, even tho they almosy died 😂 love it
That was really cool
Guzu positioned himself perfectly but the bear tank pulled it further away so he got tail swiped.
totally......guzus fault tho, dont take hands from keyboard lel or go whank
Wasn’t a tail swipe, the boss does a frontal knock back. The second the boss did it the rogue takes agro and it turns. Still his fault, but such bad timing
@@BH-zo4nq that wasn't a knockback on the druid tank, he just walked back for no real reason.
For the uninitiated, that zone starts at like level 35 and ends with a level 47 boss. A 12 level spread is unheard of in post-vanilla WoW dungeons.
Man, that rogue quest has quite the collection of corpses on my server. If only they knew all you had to do was pickpocket the Dockmaster!!
This is seriously so exciting to watch because the stakes are so high
That 56 Paladin Death Pains me. Totally could have survived if he was using seal of light and just stood his ground.
Also had a grenade not on cd
+ had no blessing
+ used his last mana for consecration
+ no cooldowns ready (except for BoP, but no mana for it at the end)
If I was him, I probably would have used judgment+seal of wisdom (if too low on mana/hp, then only seal).
Dropping low = use BoP and heal up as much as possible and keeping up the regen / AoE to try and finish off the low hp enemies.
Then stun one of the remaining guys and try to heal up a bit more, to be safe.
I feel that with every video, Asmon becomes a little more sympathetic with these players. Complimenting their plays, feeling sorry for deaths. I can also feel him itching to get some hc for himself even though he said he wouldn't. Great content, great commentary. Keep it up 😊
I think it was just yesterday he was cheering for someone watching McConnel while playing a Pally to die.
Nobody actually wants to play hardcore wow. These streamers just do it because it's endless content. And asmon reviews it because it's endless content without actually playing blizzards trash game.
This is actually the best react content on the internet rn. I love hc classic.

If someone is hard running away never heal them. Run the other way and let them die. If they make it they make it.
Can't wait for Asmon to dive in and show everyone how it's done.
fr, how can he watch this much and not catch the hardcore classic bug? even im thinking of playing again lol
He did try it once but got griefed constantly and even the RUclips watchers were not having fun watching him suffer
Playing Starfield on my main monitor, Asmon on the second. When I see him fall through that hole at the start of Asmons video, i had just done a grav jump on Starfield and my companion shouted "Another successful jump!" I was confused AF for a second
The backdoor in Uldaman is always closed, but never locked, they just had to click the door and walk out.
I'm gonna be honest. Never got a chance to play wow back in the day, and it's too far me me to start now, however, I love watching these vids and asmon breaking them down helps alot. More HC vids pls.
15:50 YOU PULLED MORE?!? Hahaha now thats classic ^^
The dumbest decision in HC WoW, is to take dungeons with randoms... Only do that stuff with people you know well.
2:33 that backpedal tho
So happy for Josh
The only correct actions to take at 5:46 are tossing that iron bomb, casting flash of light and switching to devotion aura, then taking down the lowest hp mobs one at a time and hoping it reduces the incoming damage enough to survive.
Also he should have stood his ground in his consecration at 5:14
It's also possible had he kept up blessing of sanctuary he would never have gotten that low to begin with.
Laughed so hard at that 1st clip 😂
A guy from my project group at uni didn't show up today because he died at lvl 58 HC yesterday, gave me a good laugh
3:30 oh hey thats Guardbro right there, oh no
That paladin ran out of mana but didn't even have a blessing active
07:38 Hunter could have easily lived with better pet management - didn’t even use Intimidation!
Died at level 5 and decided I would live vicariously through all of these people. No regrets
These clips are awesome cause Guzu died because he didn't let the Tank finish moving the dragon to the wall before he started attacking. And then the WC raptor scream clip is the opposite where the Tank doesn't know to move things back.
The lesson to be learned is,
Dps - DONT ATTACK SHIT TILL THE TANK IS DONE MOVING THE MOBS TO SAFETY.
Tanks - RANGE PULL AND MOVE EVERYTHING BACK
Probably need to start numbering these
The clicker at 11:00. In Aion I'd be shouting "nice binds" about now. Lol.
Keep em coming, love this 🙂

Dragon said “Kobe”
Guzu death best one we've seen so far
stupidity and hubris. I would have been half way to the door as soon as the second pull back was ignored. heck I wouldnt have even been in a dungeon.
5:46 that pala have bombs to stun and make aoe dmg. Prob enough to kill more then half of them hitting him
10:00 to be fair the dungeon is only 20 years old. cant expect people to know the layout
Haven't played WoW in about 15 years. Watching these clips- wish I had the $$ for a PC. Really want to play this.
took me 3 deaths sub level 10 in hard core to realize fighting any mob above green until 60 is simply dumb
4:00 the whole rest of the group should've just used the stone, after giving the warrior a last good heal.
6:52 Blessing of Freedom ...
12:30 manaburn, of course on the healer ...
Some of these have me crying laughing! That Uldaman clutch was awesome!
Its impressive how many different ways you can die to the same thing
2:25 bruh... In retail this mechanic is too OP. "Pull back" HAH, everything dies without losing HP in retail :D
ret aura dosnt keep you in combat with leashing but shield spike does
10:15 That's not even the door that opens to the back entrance.
are we not gonna talk about how 5:57 the level 56 pally has SOUL OF IRON??! bro lost his soul in the plaguelands

I hate priests who keep using bubble when they are tight on mana.
That bubble is NOT cost effective, it takes too much mana for too little damage absorbed, and also won't allow warriors to gain rage.
Just heal, don't use bubble.
And as a healer, you don't heal in the middle on the battlefield. You stay far away.

Bro tells the tank to pull back, tank derps and dude is the ONLY ONE to die. The universe hates this man lol.
Hoooly classic players are something else. Warrior tank who doesn't know how to pull back a pack. Priest healer who acts like he is a god, yet streams himself clicking 90% of his abilities while keyboard turning, and does not even have enemy nameplates on. And a hunter that backpeddles around doing nothing.
You really know where it's at, when to be an elite classic player, you got to master the art of mashing your single button rotation, buy the consumables and get the world buffs, and not stand in fire or walk around and aggro half the instance.
Still a fun game and all, but I really don't get people who claim it is somehow hard. More work, more grinding maybe.
1:53 when I see this as a healer happening, i just start hearthstoning, laterz!
I got to level 60 on my first try playing solo, I will share a list of very important aspects you need to apply to your leveling playthrough.
- Do NOT attempt to fight orange mobs, these need to be treated as elites and avoided entirely.
- No going in caves, they usually have fast respawn rates and this combined with the need to double back on yourself to get out is a recipe for disaster and an entirely unnecessary risk.
- You should always have the best available potions in abundance and OFF cooldown, if you have taken a potion and it’s on cooldown, don’t pull any mobs until the cd has finished.
- Avoid water entirely. Classic is a very old and buggy game, sometimes the water is shallow or there are rocks, curved ledges etc, don’t jump into water off of highly elevated locations, and don’t swim in the water intentionally either, you can’t eat/drink, breath is limited, your movement speed is limited and mobs usually have no movement restriction in there.
- Stop. Jumping. Stop jumping so much, jumping creates an unseen hazard for the player and you should only jump when you NEED to, for example, to quick turn during emergency retreats to avoid being dazed. Everywhere you need to get to, can be accessed not by jumping, trust me, it’s a very bad habit.
- Follow a detailed online guide for hardcore questing, there are zones you need to avoid entirely like Dustwallow Marsh, and quests you need to avoid entirely like Colonel Kurzen or Hints of a new plague.
- NO DUNGEONS. This is a huge risk, think about every time you have died in a dungeon playing WoW, now think about how many times it wasn’t your fault. Dungeoning in WoW puts your faith of survival into other people’s hands. I didn’t do a single dungeon, too much risk. The only time you should do one is if you have 4 friends to play with and you’re on discord communicating, and you have a flask of petrification to take. No flask, no dungeon with friends. If anything bad happens, preemptively leave the group, wait a couple seconds for the 60 second timer to start, take the flask of petri and wait.
- Rules of engagement, do not initiate a fight unless your potion is off cooldown, your full health/mana, and you have defensive cooldowns available to use. Do not pull more than 2 mobs, if you accidentally do this, retreat immediately for reset.
- Do not be a hero, across your travels you will find others who have taken unnecessary risks and have made a conscious calculated error, do not take any risks in saving someone. Granted, if it’s one mob then by all means kill it and make a friend, friends are great to have, but if it’s 3 mobs chasing someone, leave them to their fate, whatever that may be.
- Always follow roads when travelling, they’re safer.
- STOP turning your back to the mob, the BIGGEST killer of hardcore players is daze, you run at an angle if there are multiple mobs, or jump turn between attacks if you’re confident and there is only one mob.
- A bad player who takes no risks, will reach level 60 before a good player who takes risks.
- Hesitation gets you killed, if you ever get the feeling you should flee, you flee. You don’t wait and see how things plan out, you don’t roll the dice and try to outdamage, you don’t use your defensives offensively, and when you decide to flee, don’t panic, panicking gets you killed, keep your health topped, use your defensive, take a pot, and DON’T attack the mob as it will keep it in combat and chase you further.
- You need patience and skill, the less you have of one, the more you need of the other, but the most skillful player will never reach 60 without any patience.
- If it was easy, everyone would have a level 60 but the truth is that an extremely marginalised proportion of people do, if you see one on your travels, ask them for some advice.
- If you’ve made a mistake and your health is topped, a swiftness potion is more valuable than a health potion.
- Remember that a large portion of deaths is due to complacency.
- NEVER put your survival into someone else’s hands, you rely on yourself for survival, this guarantees no risks.
- Questing with others is preferable over questing alone, however if you pull more and take more risks because of it, that completely negates the benefit. Questing with others should mean less downtime, not bigger pulls and higher risk.
- Mage AoE farming, don’t do it. The amount of mages who made level 60 by AoE farming are very, very few. The risks are astronomically high to make no mistakes in 2000 pulls, and 1 mistake is all it takes for you to get deleted. Frost nova, blink, these are your DEFENSIVE cooldowns, and should be employed as countermeasures, not as an offensive means to exp farm, the same with a warrior’s retaliation, stop using it offensively.
- Zoom OUT, and use nameplates, visibility of everything around you at all times is essential.
- Be wary of buildings, and use walls to line of sight casters, stopping a cast is far more important than doing that extra bit of damage.
- Remember that with every risk you take, you roll the dice on living or dying, but everything is in your control and you never need to roll the dice.
- If you’re fighting mobs that flee at low health, fight them one at a time and apply a slow as they’re getting mid-low health.
- Only use fear as a defensive cooldown and last resort, warlocks stop chain fearing and dotting up, you cannot control in which direction the mob will fear into, if you’re a lock, your voidwalker should be tanking like a hunters pet.
- Look up a guide online to assist you and stop taking risks, leveling to 60 in hardcore is a marathon not a sprint, trying to shave time off here and there, attacking mobs not at max health/mana, swimming to skip an area, jumping over obstacles, dungeons/elite quests, underleveled for your area, doing orange quests and fighting orange mobs. There are so many ways to cut corners and people die because of it, the reason 60 is such an achievement is because of how arduous it is, and how tempting it can be to cut time off your adventure. I promise you it will take much longer when you take risks, play like a coward, cowards survive.
- One final note, if you die don’t lose hope. Learn from the experience, you most likely became complacent and took a risk you wouldn’t have 10 levels ago.
- Good Luck.
no dungeons ae u serious? grow some balls
bro really wrote an essay on how to level in classic WoW
Having a bunch of arbitrary rules to keep yourself safe in a video game sounds weak. Where's your sense of adventure?
Following guides is trash and so many thing that you are saying are just removing fun from the game
From a database of 80,892 characters, divided over the 9 classes, a freshly made character’s odds of getting to level 60 are 0.19%
Reading these comments, I fully understand why that is.
I'm 55 and the only dung i went is SM with guildies, never gonna do dung if I don't have a lvl 60 backup
love watching these before bed every night
the amount of times I have seen people fall into that hole in retail wow is making me scared going to Sunken Temple on hardcore
5:00 died for their sins lol
1:44 thats the voice of every healer that has seen this play repeat TOOOOO MANY FUCKING TIMES IN DIFERENT CONTEXTS is almos like an epigenetic memory
I legit made it on so many characters to lvl cap without dieing. But if it were hardcore I know I’d lose atleast 3-5 characters from…. Kobold miners. Some kinda raptor or giant kitty in strangle thorn. Fall damage. I’d probably die in Silithus to some dumb elite. Fall damage again. Then I’d make 60.
The Wailing Caverns' druids are so unforgiving.
and yet so easy to deal with if your warrior knows how to pull.
Someone griefed me tonight, they pulled all the elite orcs in red ridge and sprinted out and stealthed. My group got rooted and I turned on cheetah and got away but I still fell bad about surviving
Big brain of the aoe paladin to kite the mobs out of the consecration and not using the grenade
the party in 1:46 , i was the rogue in that group, we were all pissed at the warrior and immediately kicked him
Very slowly we're all finding ourselves in the comment section lol
17.01 thats the "BRICKED UP GIGA CHADS ! Savix twin guild , i had no doubt , 100% that they survived 😌👍🍺
