Dude, this was maybe the best guide I ever saw (not just for raids, but in general). Straight to the point, no bullshit intro or in between, very nice presentation and even some entertainment value. Thanks!
Bro I just woke up and am currently rewatching all your older videos because they are awesome. So you can imagine my excitement when I just got the notification of a new upload.
Back in the day our shaman used to water walk a random person during Lurker fight right before he does the beam blast. It was always hilarious because you'd hear someone in vent go "WTF, I jumped in the water and still died!!" 🤣
Hey man. thanks for all those uploads. brings back so many cool memories i seemed to have forgotten. i havent looked at wow for a very, very long time. i started at release and quit after tbc, and i was so privileged to have cleared the entire content. I wasnt raiding in a tier1 guild back then, but rather tier 2 (around world top 100). Our vashj kill was with mind control and she was such a annoying bitch back then. For real. Even one of our raid leaders rage quit because Vashj (and Kael'thas) got the best of us many times over. i quit after clearing SWP (my raid also quickly degraded, maybe to top 300 or so, but we still finished SWP somehow) and finally focussed on university. But WoW was such a good run between wiping at the two giants at the entrance of Molten Core and the incredibly tough, but well balanced bosses of sunwell plateau. Never before or after that time i was addicted to a game like that. Sorry for the bragging, keep up with the high quality content. i do have some videos on my hard drive from that time (incl. Vaelastrazs, Brutallus, and almost the entire black temple). maybe i upload them one day.
Something about the mind controll, during Blizzconline they mentioned that while the mind controll will still be in, it wont affect healer (or maybe tanks I dont completely remember) for the sake of keeping the raids a bit harder whilte not making RNG be the reason for a wipe
The sporebats in Lady Vashj phase 3 spit the poison on the ground as the fly around, not when they die. You really CAN'T keep up with killing them as they often aren't even in range to be attacked. So it functions as an enrage timer of sorts. Kill her before you're overwhelmed.
I love that instead of a generic DPS marker for the ranged you just make it a bow and arrow. Cause let's be honest, they're mostly gonna be hunters anyways
Not sure if this will be in game once p2 is released but the Tainted Core ***used to*** only be lootable by 1 individual player like other trash loot. Setting loot to "Free for all" will allow anyone to loot it and pass it. Obviously remember to set loot back to your preferred method once phase 3 of Vashj begins!
I guess this question can be answered by experience from the PTR. Anyone want to weigh in? You can't change loot rules in combat though so this is a potentially risky strategy since you can't put ML back on.
I looked through the comments on wowhead for this item and a comment from 2007 (2.3.0) says you have to enabled FFA to ensure everyone can loot the core. But I will resarch this topic and come back with (hopefully) more information.
According to someone I played with on the ptr and who has killed Lady Vashj the FFA thing is still necessary. Hope Blizz will change this sometime soon
From PTR, Lurker doesn't seem to be optional, you need to kill him in order to be able to open the bridge to Lady Vashj. Also to add on Lurker, Main Tank needs to be standing before the biggest Pillar. When Boss begins Sprout, he launches the tank into distance, if he doesn't quickly hide in the water the Pillar will catch him and Tank can go back on the platform.
We wiped so many times at Vashj back in the day....but learning is good. And, yeah, back in 2007/8 YT was just a younglin'. My first vid was a WoW based one, and that's 2007
I've seen some videos where certain spells/debuffs (e.g., acid geyser) trigger a /say message of the form "acid geyser on me". Is that DBM? I can't find a way to turn it on if it is
7:58 Oh my god... I almost fell off my chair laughing!! Looked and sounded like he was pushing out the most epic explosive diarrhea ever!!! Anyways, gl all and have fun! :-D
man. I remember failing on leotheras because noone got how he actually worked. this was before everonye got all of his info from the web, we had to figure it out ourselves. It turned out to be a dps check for us; in his last phase he would just berserk and kill everyone in a few seconds. it was so frustrating. we spent hours without pause on him. I was a pure pvp player and just wanted the AD trinket from him, wasn't interested in anything else from this raid. I will never forget how fucking intense it got during some of these tries; we were just not fittingly geared for this fight but kept trying anyways, over and over again. that memory is burned into my mind forever.
To even be allowed to enter the raid in question, you need to fulfill all the prerequisites (most notably quests and keys in your possession). If you have the entire "checklist" done, you are attuned.
No. Any warlock should be able to get to 365 fire res pretty easily. It’s probably better to have a destro lock tank it imo since they’ll have better threat gen with imp sacced
I remember doing pug runs later in TBC when I was bored, just to laugh at the raid leader flipping out because people kept screwing up passing the cores. Good times
At least your pugs got to Vashj. Pug'd on my hunter alt and we got to Lurker and wiped. I was in the top Alliance guild clearing BT at the time, but ofc can't do it on alts ever. LOL

If you happen to be one of those who played both retail and classic, ReadycheckPull does excellent guides for Normal/Heroic raids in retail.
How does he taste?
It seems so easy. This is going to be a breeze *nervous sweating*
Every fuckin heroic SP "in and out, 20 minutes"
I'm maining a healing Priest so I feel ya on that homie 😆. *Nervous Laughter*
Famous last words
"Go kill Gruul. Go kill Nightbane. Return back to the Naga. Now you are attuned." Oh it's that simple! Sweet xD
Bro I just woke up and am currently rewatching all your older videos because they are awesome. So you can imagine my excitement when I just got the notification of a new upload.
So re watchable!! 👌
Great video Brotha. Love how you did all the bosses quickly, with the amazing edits, while getting all the information out!
I love the heartstone art in the info segments :D
Top notch work as always
Thank you very much for still doing content for the game we love :)
Back in the day our shaman used to water walk a random person during Lurker fight right before he does the beam blast. It was always hilarious because you'd hear someone in vent go "WTF, I jumped in the water and still died!!" 🤣
Troll shaman i bet. XD
Thanks Platinum

I’m still waiting for Naga as a playable race hehe. The most moist race ever
Probably one of the best raids, imo.
11:24 "the catch is...." excellent wordplay
Very nice video, love the pace/speed, it's perfect!
Ay I just wanna express my gratitude for the content you put out, whether satirical or instructional. Keep it up man
Great vid as always!
Sooo straightforward....on paper. God this place was stressful as a healer. Proud to have downed Vashj pre patch, full strength.
The classic guides were made with so much more love
To get access to love you must pay 70 bucks for the portal pass.
Then do your own guide and put more love into it..
i hope these arn't the last videos we get from you, with everyone else quitting it really feels like there is no one left
He said in a comment on a prior vid that he would continue.
@@GbrBy so did Captain Grims but he quit three days ago
Feels like full guilds that had 40-50 raiders are now empty, not even clearing raids each week.
For good reason.
@@redryan20000 that’s cause boosting ruined the game. Everyone said it would happen and it did
I don't play TBC, but I love coming back for these videos. Top stuff Platnium
I got my 1st SSC tonight I don’t want to be “that guy” lol thanks for the video
Seeing this in the morning made me happy
Mindcontrol: Mindcontrol (mindcontrol)
I wonder what that ability could possibly do
draw two cards
I have never liked a video so fast in my life!!!!
Thanks for posting! Your guides are my jam
Something about the mind controll, during Blizzconline they mentioned that while the mind controll will still be in, it wont affect healer (or maybe tanks I dont completely remember) for the sake of keeping the raids a bit harder whilte not making RNG be the reason for a wipe
Thats why vashj is tauntable and you play her with 2 tanks.
The sporebats in Lady Vashj phase 3 spit the poison on the ground as the fly around, not when they die. You really CAN'T keep up with killing them as they often aren't even in range to be attacked. So it functions as an enrage timer of sorts. Kill her before you're overwhelmed.
god damn tainted core macro made me laugh af
I hate this raid with a passion,hope everyone on my server get to see this video and LEARN lol,thank you for your time.
I love that instead of a generic DPS marker for the ranged you just make it a bow and arrow. Cause let's be honest, they're mostly gonna be hunters anyways
Nah, warlocks better in SSC
other ranged classes exist? impossible
and Warlocks and Shadow Priest
Plus one fire mage for imp scorch
@@GamingDualities I like how you used the singular for priest, very accurate
You had me HOOKED when you say WET AND WILD OOOO
Man I wish you would start doing these again for Wrath. They are the best!
thx for making more wow content .
This is really succinct and clear
Brother the transition at 4:53 is so fuking cool
Great video strat!

Using Guzu clips that I told my guild to watch a week ago. mmmm validated.
what about elevator boss?
Wish you had a sunwell guide. :(
Great video, more comedy like the ZG one!!
4:57 - AHKCHUALLY - Blood elf form 😏
The vent push to talk sounds :D
Love your videos.
Really really good video thanks alot for this
2 videos in one day and its not even christmas
Great video thanks alot helps out alot!

I don't even play Classic, and yet here I am watching these guides. I just find old raids and their mechanics to be fascinating!
We wiped so many times at Vashj back in the day....but learning is good. And, yeah, back in 2007/8 YT was just a younglin'. My first vid was a WoW based one, and that's 2007
outro was funny :D
Stopped playing a while back, love your work thou. Keep it up.
Great video as usual. Now my raid leader can't say that I'm not in on the tactics :)
nice one platinum WoW
overall this video still deserves a thumb up tho keep it man
"Oh wow a tempest keep guide, he probably won't be able to make a SSC guide before next patch though"
Holy shit
Fucking lol at the 'How to pass the fucking core, god damn'. This seems like fun when my guild get into that fight
aggro resets? well we arent getting passed this.
Nice vid big like! Sadly, i unsubbed so no Vashj for me :)) maybe will try it again on PS.
What about the elevator boss?
I've seen some videos where certain spells/debuffs (e.g., acid geyser) trigger a /say message of the form "acid geyser on me". Is that DBM? I can't find a way to turn it on if it is

cool story bro
2:34 , nowadays bliz talking about playerbase
My god this is fucking amazing
Platinum, thoughts on new suicideboys album?
@platinum WoW you forgot about the hardest boss in the game! the ELEVATOR... (DUN-DUN-DUUUUN!!!)
Where’s the video for the Lady Vash? I really want to know if it’s called that.
Hahahahhaha you used Guzu as the raid cam. Fucking a this is great
Can't wait for the wotlk and cata dungeons that I actually playes...
WET AND WILD
The last comment in the video got u a like :D
algortihmically correct
id clear all six platforms before engaging lurker, i really miss that part in the video, hot water better than fishes :D
Does anyone know in depth how that macro is supposed to work? Do you need to insert recipients name?
Anyone know if it's possible to just have 2 tanks for Hydross? Or will off-tanks be necessary for the elementals?
GUZU!!!
Do tanks still need to be def capped for Hydross? I lose a lot of defense when I equip my nature set.
Yes you do
Can we get the link to the core video?? Cant find it anywhere
resistance sets are so expensive for tanks, it's insane
Why does the warlock tank have to be demo?
Apparently tanking hydross with 300 res buffed is more than enough
Platinum, shouldn’t you do the optional boss last because you can kill the fish in the water and trivialize the mechanics?
Can a paladin bubble and run and blow up orbs on tidewalker, similar to post patchwork slimes?
The link for the Tainted Core Macro does not work please fix the link
instead of writing that comment you could've writen the macro yourself, it's that short :p
Can u skip hydros, fish and go to blind?
Yes
First time seeing your channel. Good stuff.
Have you had people ask if you were Platinum from Elune?
what does attuning mean?
To even be allowed to enter the raid in question, you need to fulfill all the prerequisites (most notably quests and keys in your possession). If you have the entire "checklist" done, you are attuned.
Am I the only one who said hi back at the start?
You totally forgot to explain the Elevator Boss.
Hey the link to your macro is broken.
I dont even raid. Just ran out of lore videos :(
These tbc dungeons had such random requirements. 300 fishing LOL
I Like turtles
Does it have to be a demo lock?
No. Any warlock should be able to get to 365 fire res pretty easily. It’s probably better to have a destro lock tank it imo since they’ll have better threat gen with imp sacced
Doesn't Destro have a talent that makes them immune to fire spells for a few seconds?
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Will hydross be immune to frost dmg and nature dmg or will it depend on the form he is in ?
I remember doing pug runs later in TBC when I was bored, just to laugh at the raid leader flipping out because people kept screwing up passing the cores. Good times
At least your pugs got to Vashj. Pug'd on my hunter alt and we got to Lurker and wiped. I was in the top Alliance guild clearing BT at the time, but ofc can't do it on alts ever. LOL
