Something you missed about BFD is that it was 10 man. It was easy on Bfd and gnomer to carry have the group with a handful of friends I convinced to play the game. Trying to clear ST or MC is another story. I think as difficulty increases for a raid player count needs to go down. Hard 10 man raids are cool cause it feels like everything needs to do their part, hard 20 or 40 man's feel like everyone has to not fuck up. It's like trying to hold a tray of drinks with 5 people.

Should tanks be at 14% hits 😮?

Retail minus would be really cool. Would bring me back to the game.

I was the first to mention we're going to have too wear fr gear, even for the basic mc. People blew me off, and told me I was dumb for saying and thinking, and or they said don't give blizz ideas...lol...it's a blizz game, why wouldn't they force us to wear fr gear....that is most likely what they wanted back in the day, they just didn't know how to balance. They barely made the raid with help from everquest creators. Also I think lw and leather wearers in general have the easiest sets to get for fr gear. The blue boe set has 2 pieces with 25 fr and 1 with 30, 2 set gives 10, then you can get 20 fr on cloak + 15 on shoulder if you do the rep grinds, and I believe the waterlords allow you to buy a ring with 20, giving you 145 fr, and if you have a pally or shammy in grp that is another 60 I believe, then i believe druids can give 40 with talents, so that should be 245, if my math is right, lol.

this sounds like some retail bull shit

cant wait for the entire raid having to run back to ubrs after every wipe

They put FR on all tier 1 pieces... you don't play sod so you wouldn't know

Yikes I have been prepping but I work 10 hour days it took me 2 days to even get to 60 and I had to call out of work 1 day. Between getting some 0.5 gear my runes attempting to farm rep and to even get attuned the fire res fell by the way side. Today my guild is gonna try to do MC heat lvl 2 as our first raid. I’m shitting my pants rn at work I do not have the fire res I need. Fuck.

Yeah - But you can just NOT fucking do the heat level. And do the early one. And still get the gear. It's literally choose your poison. PUG? T1, same gear. Sweat? T3, same gear. Good luck, have fun. The fuck is the issue. If you're in a guild that is trying to SWEAT when they are clearly PUGS - LEAVE! Find some SANE people to play with.

TFW you need to prep more for the raids than blizzard preps the patches

Well , you always have to think this is SoD, not vanilla wow... they try out new stuff and see how it works out. we are the beta testers ^^ I personally like it, i hate it when ppl clear the most difficulty on first day in 2 hours, and then be like "kk, nothing to do. lets raidlog" Worldbosses are a fk joke, you can do them in a 5 man party feels like. And the new T1 set gear alone brings like 125ish FR ? get pala aura, druid buff, shoulder enchant, back enchant. and 1 or 2 Fr trinkets, and you g2g for heat 3. still can fully blast DPS or dont need any FR rings.

I don't know a single person who likes resistance fights and now they want to turn the whole raid into one. Actual clowns.

I love it and resistance was a thing for a reason and always hated how we just skipped the resistance mechanic, and just wanted to blaze through with out consequence. This will make it for players to come back and do dungeons and create a econic lift. Thats just one way to look at it. Preps is awesome and I love it but of course people out there are lazy or complain about not having the time to do the prep but yea there is 3 stages to play in so enjoy with or with out resistance and the choice is yours.

Can i pug/faceroll the easy mode and get best gear or need heat 2 and 3 to actual get good stuff?

no one asked for this. what happened to just logging on and facerolling this shit with a beer in your other hand

20 x 2 from librams, 20 from hydraxian cape enchant, 15 from argent dawn shoulder enchant, 60 from fire res totem/aura, 30 from imp motw for a total of 165 fire res. That means to reach 226 you only need to get 60 from your gear... which T1 will mostly cover.

It's actually so funny how bad it is. New content - locked behind clearing molten core on highest difficulty - highest difficulty requires to replace all that pre-bis you just grinded for fire res gear - fire res gear does less dps and isn't as fun. If MC is like ST, people will get geared so quick that the new boss won't even be worth the time. First thing that popped in my head when I saw the wowhead article was, "man Jake was right about res gear sets being back he’s so based" lmao. Great video bro.

Great video! I wish more people made things like this, and not just copying wowhead and zockify shit, ggs.

Hey mate, thanks for the video! For heat stuff, you have Aura, enchants, its really nothing for second heat level, you can basically get it with 1 item and few enchants. For level 3 tho, it will require your set, and some more MC gear, set that is diferent then in classic era, this time you will want to wear those items actually hahah so i guess they just made it so you cant just enter level 3 day one, it will require you to loot some gear first, and i think thats fine tbh. Also on revered with hydraxian waterlords there is a 20 FR enchant on cloak i think.

It probably will be clown suits, but not as much as you might expect. From what I understand, some of the gear in SoD is restatted to provide additional fire resistance, or new gear was added with FR (for example, the new devilsaur set gives you 35FR as opposed to 0). Additionally, there's a +20 FR cape enchant from Hydraxian honored rep. Additionally, I see that your legs (and presumably, your head) has +8 str instead of +20 FR on it. So, without clownsuiting at all (although sacrificing +8 str on head and legs, and +3 agi on cloak), you can already build a 95 FR set with just 2 piece devilsaur.

heat 1: you can pretty much faceroll it (people love having fun after coming from work) heat 2: you can faceroll it until you get debuffed and dont meet required resistance then you die - go farm up resistance so you can "faceroll it"( we will claim its "delayed gratification" though the encounter still will consist of 1 boss ability) heat 3: refer to heat 2 where do I apply as Blizz game dev?

My reply - the community expects Blizzard to Zig, but they Zag instead. The irony of preparation getting tossed to the wind: P3 inflation ruined gold-holders, P4 deflation messed with commodity holders, and now p4 0.5 farm that maybe invalidated by high resist requirements. Frustrating, it’s like they are balancing for a bunch of people who will join in another season haha

Pally and shaman gives fire resist

yeah dude fuck resist sets..

Looking forward to your take Jake. You’re living up to your promise of living in my subconscious.

I hope the new gear upgrades u get inside brd for the currency of the new event meets those requirements. I didn't do the full 0.5 questline to replace those items with a green set of just fr gear. F that!

>Muh parses Seriously. Who cares about parsing. Agreed with everything else though.

lol you’re apefromtree I’ve pugged with you quite a few times over the years

Love your vids man. Very sad arms warr isnt performing as well atm for p4 :(

I love these videos and the way you present their application in real world situations

Why is this guy not more popular? Thanks for not bloating your videos with useless chatter and just presenting facts efficiently

Good video as always.

I heard in china there is an Npc at the door of raid, gives you all world buffs. That would be awesome imo.

Damn wish I had a 60 on era :(

the brain dead opener is scorch scorch pyro

i hate world buffs get rid of them or give a item that just gives you the world buffs

had to take a long break from wow for life reasons. Been back since early p3 and really enjoyed the experience playing again. Stop taking the game for granted, times change and the player base ages. You can't expect to have every facet of the game fulfill every desire.

Imagine quitting P4 for the same reasons people didn't start in P1.

impossible to make classic players happy, beg for classic + for 20 years get classic + complain about getting too much + and being too good at the game for it to be difficult.

Imagine caring about parses in classic wow tho 😂

Blizz in a nut shell. People claim retail is better, but you're required to dl like 100 addons...Aggneredwow aka joshua greenfield is a tard.

"easy" i've played since launch day 2019 and i've never raided because getting able to raid is not easy , to me. and then looking at the raid it does not seem "easy" i raided on retail and wotlk tho.

Why the bad takes

They should have leaned into speed running and parsing being the high end skill testing endgame rather than the difficulty of the bosses mechanically.

just make it to where if you kill a boss under a timer you enter ultra hard mode. (classic +)

classic andy selfrealisation

After that Turtle WoW Unreal Engine i just decided to start lvling on Turtle WoW, lvling isnt too bad with the 150% rested xp from tents and 20% xp boost from warmode, getting ganked by undead rogues is a little bit annoying tho with warmode on xd. I quit SoD after Phase 1 just lost interest in it, phase 4 isnt looking much better.

Re the job argument around 8:15 - this isn’t meant to be Classic plus. It’s a testing ground where they’re trying all kinds of stuff. The devs also do not only work on SoD, they also work on Cata, Era, and Hardcore - they aren’t adding things needlessly just to look busy.

I agree on all fronts brother. Only reason I'm still playing SoD is because of my guild and friends. If I was playing as a solo I'd just go back to hc yo or a pserver.

My guy you need a personality hire in your raid group.
