Really enjoying your content man; I've been practicing this myself and prepping for my 25-40 run. Watched the entire 15 min run twice. Your pulls are so ballsy and kills so incredibly clean. Very nice. I plan to try 25 to 40 in one sitting and will be checking in on your channel. Cheers - Jeff.
Awesome content, as always! I also am a full-BiS mage and it's been so much fun running stockades boosts. I have a couple of questions about your P2 plan: 1. Are you planning to run Stockades solo 25-31, or are you going to have boosters in your group? I have a 2nd account with a 25 warrior and am considering dual-boxing in P2, but not if it would really hurt the xp/hour. 2. Are you concerned about attaining BFD buff during P2 launch? I can't imagine many raids will be going on during release, so I'm worried that the rate of the buff dropping will be very scarce compared to now. Again, thanks for all the amazing videos--It's great to watch a fellow mage AoE enjoyer!
How do you make it so the mobs don't heal themselves? The famous weird Living Flame-bug. I boost a lot on my mage and it happens to me like every 4th pull or so..
Ey KallTorak, it's been great to see your progression! I've been following along at home with the stocks boosts and my biggest issue right now is just getting clean tags while I'm on the move. Any pointers? It's pulling the far mobs in the side rooms with living bomb that's giving me the most trouble.
For those with lower gear, you can use the shatter tallent and cast LB while NPCs are in nova. What I will do. Is pull all the NPC, get them stacked and recover with LF. Use enough LB to get them down to 50%. Just juggle back and forward to regen some mana back to 70%. Nova apply 3 4 LB and use 2 blizzards. It is a bit more slower but it works with lower gear. Having next points in shatter tallent while leveling will for sure speed up the proces. @KallTorak Thank you for your content. I won't level my mage past Stockades untill you release those SM farms:D
Feel like with worse gear you are going to want to keep regeneration anyways. Either way tho you may as well run burnout this phase, no need to run shatter. Burnout is 15% crit. But yes, next phase no reason to not run shatter if you don't need the healing.
@@KallTorak I keep the regeneration rune but spend the 1 tallent point in Shatter. Then you can shatter your LB by using frost nova, rather then FoF. With low gear, you can just Nova > LB on 2 3 targets > Blizz > change side > Blizz > Nova. You get more control this way. I don't have a good mana pull, so waht I do. After initial pull I get them to 50% and then nova when no LB is active, and then just do the normal movement but withouth casting to get 20-25% mana back. And then nova > lb > blizz > blizz > nova. I can't clear it in 15 minutes. It takes like 20 min for 50-60 mobs. But is safer and I rarely die because I try to get into kill phase with 30% or more mana. This is my addapted version from your pull to compasate for lack of gear. Never the less great content, looking forward for P2 content
How do you think not being able to get bfd-buffs in p2 will affect the runs? Since ppl will hardly run the raid anymore to being able to hand in the quest for the buff.
Jost Wondering about your Gear. You said you just wanted a Headpiece which is probably the thinking cap. Will you replace your boots for the 2 piece bonus or stay with the Tailoring Boots?
since world buff is required, what are you going to do after 2 hours of leveling in phase 2 launch? do you have a second account with an alt ready to drop the buff for yourself? otherwise you'll risk idling in darnassus and hopign for a buff?
I feel like there will def be plenty of world buffs dropping the first day. If not I'll have people with alts on stand by I'm paying gold to drop the buffs when I want or something. Blizzard also mentioned something about Level Up Raids today, so it's possible we see people leveling in BFD and still dropping buffs consistently. If you play on a small realm like chaos bolt, you are probably screwed. Big realm like living flame there are enough sweatlords I assume we will still see buffs the first 48 hours pretty consistently.
@@KallTorak also enchanting lvl225 will be available and some people will get it pretty fast so maybe we will be able to get minor speed enchant in first hour.
You said you want to go graveyard after that and you saw videos of lvl 30 mages doing it without runes. I couldn't find a video of that. You think you could drop a link?
You could try but I seriously doubt its worth. If you die, you go to eastvalle logging camp as horde, which is FAR. Anytime you zone out to reset you'll risk being killed by all the mages and other people doing stockades. I just don't see it being worth the risk for horde but who knows.
@@KallTorak When it gets closer to feb 8th I'm sure you could work a deal out with a few people for them to hold theirs until you need it and then they drop it for $$
1. It's not near impossible without movespeed buff. I've done it plenty without world buff. 2. Darnasus world buff still drops plenty. It drops literally all day every day.
I'm pretty confident there will be plenty of world buffs dropping the first 48 hours of the phase. Lot of sweatlords out there holding world buff on alt / people selling their world buff drops on alts. Blizzard also mentioned something about a level up raid, so people might still be doing BFD for experience when phase 2 drops, meaning more buffs to drop.
SM Graveyard solo! I am pretty confident I will be able to solo it at level 31. I've seen videos of mages soloing it at 30 without runes or full BFD bis, so I assume ill be fine. Fingers crossed!
I don't know because I'm level 25 and can't see the XP gains. All I can go off of was my friend who I was boosting. We were the only two inside, so it was duo XP split. He wasn't helping me kill anything, and he was averaging 85000 xp per hour. I assume as a solo mage itll be closer to 100k xp per hour, but I have no way of knowing until I can actually gain xp sadly. Every single level you get will make the runs faster cuz you are doing more damage with your runes. I'll also have an extra 15% extra damage for the first two hours from ashenvalle buff / DMF. Could easily see the first two hours averaging 100k+ per hour
Im talking about doing the initial juggle a couple times to get the mobs stacked and then go up the ledge and slightly to the right, not like most do and go left wall to right wall.@@KallTorak
@@BigDbruh Ah yeah, I think humans do that because of hit box issues? I am not sure though. I play gnome and dont have to do that. I've heard that start is better for humans but can't say for sure myself.
You've got no chance, do you really think with video's you and others have put up like these that Blizzard will let S2 come out without nerfing Living Flame. It's always the case with something fun, video's get made for content and clicks revenue and then it's nerfed into oblivion to protect the game. Maybe I'm wrong but I doubt it.
Still very possible without living flame being absurdly op. I legit have videos on my channel of doing stockades without regeneration healing. People were doing this stockades farm with improved blizzard and cone of cold only without runes. People love to bring up living flame being nerfed soon, but even if it was removed from the game, mages are going to keep doing this shit lol.
Hope blizzard doesnt see this and nerf hunters again
😂
such an epic comment. 10/10.
Hahaha😂
They dont nerf a class because some people with BIS gear do solo runs. Thatst he exception not the norm
😂😂😂

GL!
these runs are a work of art. thanks for your content!
Yo, awesome video! GJ!
Do you have a marco to automate living bomb cast? Or do you do it manually?
Thanks!

I've never had them heal no idea what you are talking about xD
yea thats always happen with me, mobs with like 94-97% hp instantly heals to 100% idk why that happen lol

What I dont get is the moving part on the left ledge. Thats confusing as hell.
look at his two videos on it
How do you think not being able to get bfd-buffs in p2 will affect the runs? Since ppl will hardly run the raid anymore to being able to hand in the quest for the buff.
BFD is supposedly going to be very worth running for xp so you should still be able to get the buff reliably
Jost Wondering about your Gear.
You said you just wanted a Headpiece which is probably the thinking cap.
Will you replace your boots for the 2 piece bonus or stay with the Tailoring Boots?
Keeping boots, dropping 2p
Okay. Rolling alliance. Nice vid once again!
What professions do you have on your mage?

@@KallTorak yes but still would be nice to see if it is doable without world buff
@@KallTorak also enchanting lvl225 will be available and some people will get it pretty fast so maybe we will be able to get minor speed enchant in first hour.
bfd is a level up raid just like gnomer and the next one is. thats just what they call the raids b4 60.@@KallTorak
You said you want to go graveyard after that and you saw videos of lvl 30 mages doing it without runes. I couldn't find a video of that. You think you could drop a link?
th-cam.com/video/YWD-tNqS_6U/w-d-xo.html
He probably was referring to this run since he used a clip of it in an earlier Video
Hello Kall!! I have been following your channel for quite sometime now and been suggesting it to everyone
What are you gonna do after world buff drops keep going back every two hours, or if you die?
yup
yo kalltorak how do you avoid the chain lightning cast ?
He won't cast it if you are the only one inside.
What a sweet spot to start p2 with, think Undeads can do this if I manage to get there? Anyway, nice guides and ty for all the content!
You could try but I seriously doubt its worth. If you die, you go to eastvalle logging camp as horde, which is FAR. Anytime you zone out to reset you'll risk being killed by all the mages and other people doing stockades. I just don't see it being worth the risk for horde but who knows.
Ty so without the speed buff it's impossible ?
Any recommendations for hoard?
Im embarrassed to say I can't get the movement right, and i'm struggling to jugglipse the mobs. Any tips?
did u end up figuring it out
yep! power leveled my way through phase 2 haha@@user-ux3jp9oo7r
Any concern about getting the BFD world buff throughout your solo leveling since people will be leveling rather than running BFD
I've heard that there are some people who are holding trinket turn ins for phase 2 launch, but yeah could be a problem.
@@KallTorak When it gets closer to feb 8th I'm sure you could work a deal out with a few people for them to hold theirs until you need it and then they drop it for $$
True, might have to post about that lol good idea@@barbaric_emu7572
Aggrend just tweeted BFD will be a leveling raid so people will be doing BFD anyhow
without move speed buff is near impossible to pull off. Gl everyone who are trying to do this on alts
1. It's not near impossible without movespeed buff. I've done it plenty without world buff.
2. Darnasus world buff still drops plenty. It drops literally all day every day.
Hi, could you drop the living bomb weak aura?
wago.io/zH0MwKoHv
I DM'd you on disc, but I'd love to see what your pulls look like without world buff since I imagine we won't be able to depend on it for p2 launch
I'm pretty confident there will be plenty of world buffs dropping the first 48 hours of the phase. Lot of sweatlords out there holding world buff on alt / people selling their world buff drops on alts. Blizzard also mentioned something about a level up raid, so people might still be doing BFD for experience when phase 2 drops, meaning more buffs to drop.
Is this gear mandatory or is it possible with shit gear?
Will you still be doing this run in P2 with the nerfs to living flame?
Yes
Where does it say nerf to living flame? Or just speculating?
@@BigDbruh You can see the nerf from the datamining.
@@BigDbruh In P2, the healing from regeneration will be reduced by 80% from all aoe spells, not just arcane explosion.
i run out the instance all the time
Nice Video! So what's the plan at 31?
SM Graveyard solo! I am pretty confident I will be able to solo it at level 31. I've seen videos of mages soloing it at 30 without runes or full BFD bis, so I assume ill be fine. Fingers crossed!
Sounds great! Wish you best in Phase 2!@@KallTorak
where can I get a 20% buff for running?
(if you're alliance) sit for a few minutes in darnassus city untill some one pops the world buff
How much xp is in a full run? What's the final xp/hr?
I don't know because I'm level 25 and can't see the XP gains. All I can go off of was my friend who I was boosting. We were the only two inside, so it was duo XP split. He wasn't helping me kill anything, and he was averaging 85000 xp per hour.

nice
your 1st pull will NEVER happen twice . you won the daze lottery right there
Done this pull over 500 times and it happens this way more times than I get dazed.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
hey! what spec is best for grp farming dungon on mage? will do speed to 40. maybe 2 mages in grp but we say its 1 for sure.
Can't go wrong with improved blizzard spec in case your parties do massive pulls.
cool, but do u have a full build that i can go for? havent play mage so much. so i know how to build while levling :) @@KallTorak
Have you tried face tanking solo?
Have, its slower and the right side is too hard with all the stun mobs. Can't do 20 mob pulls face tanking, can do them this way tho.
they just nerfed living flame so hard
Why is this so hard to do 😭
wtf mastermind. I just managed 60mobs in 15mins and still I fail sometimes. Jesus.
Yeah never understood the whole running from side to side, theres more optimization potential for this run still.
How you going to kill 20+ mobs at once without doing the juggle? You aren't face tanking those mobs.
Im talking about doing the initial juggle a couple times to get the mobs stacked and then go up the ledge and slightly to the right, not like most do and go left wall to right wall.@@KallTorak
@@BigDbruh Ah yeah, I think humans do that because of hit box issues? I am not sure though. I play gnome and dont have to do that. I've heard that start is better for humans but can't say for sure myself.
I dont understand,,i running this dungeon 30 runs,,and then blizzard banned my account,,its said using program cheat/hack,,wtf😅

Yup!@@optimusd3854
You can do these pulls without even using living flame at all, it just gives you more damage to do it a bit faster and some healing if you mess up.
Not doable as gnome female btw
no issues on gnome female.
Nice guide but blizzard banned me two days ago. And told me, i hack game
