    Hello everyone and thank you for checking out this world of warcraft classic video! If you're enjoying these videos or have any questions, please let me know in the comments below, like the videos and subscribe! They really help out the channel and help more people learn these strategies!
    In today's wow classic video we go back to where it all began - SM Cath 1 pull and SM Armory 1 pull. Over the past couple of months since that initial video, it seems like powerleveling has really taken off as one of the best wow classic gold farms! In the original 1 Pull SM Cath and 1 Pull SM Armory video we left some questions unanswered, and I attempted to answer as many as I could through the comments. That being said, I thought it would be easier to put out an updated guide walking through and answering every question!
    During the video I show both my 60 mage clear as well as the pure experience that my lower level mage is receiving throughout the clear. Spoiler, he gets 80% of a level in 13.5 minutes! This is still one of the best gold farms and power level farms out there, and I'm excited to bring you guys an updated 1 Pull SM video! In addition, during this video we decide to step up the game and include SM Library!!
    Thank you everyone and I hope this video helped you in some way! If it did or if you have any questions, please let me know in the comments below. Look forward to seeing you all in the next video!

      great videos. I want to leave you a tip that is obvious but maybe some of you don't know it. When you do the pull and you don't pull all the mobs .. kill them all but not the mages, run to the safe point, reset, and you can do a second pull for the rest of the mobs and you will still have unlimited mana. Thank you and sorry for my English.

      Hey! Just wanted to say, I love your vids they are amazingly helpful. I had a quick question on macro issues I've been running into. I can't get the shift/ctr macros to swap to rank 1 spells working for number keys. They work fine for spells on letter keys, but not numbers. Any tips or ideas on how you set yours up?

    Not sure if anyone else has suggested this, but at the end, when the mobs go their separate ways and you keep blizzarding, if you just stay on the ledge and hop down, they will resume their pathing and you can kill them with the blizz with minimal risk using the same strat as you've been using to get them low.

    Thanks for another great in-depth guide on boosting strats!
    One thing that I'm doing differently from you that I can recommend you to try, is when you're doing Armory and you're preparing for the jump over the ledge into IB in the corner pack. Instead of blinking through the middle pack just before you set it up. Then you should body pull it and run to the corner. Then you make a left turn and continue down the corridor. The mobs will get to you just as you leave the corner and that's where you want to use blink. Then you jump out in the corner on the other side and that will remove all of the headaches that are being caused with the armory pull or at least the way that you're doing it! I really recommend that you try this strat.
    This will also allow you to 9.9 out of 10 times be able to frost nova any straggling protectors or at least catch them with your blizzard! ;)

    Hello Arleus,
    First of all thank you so much for the time and effort you put on those Mage guide videos. It's really awesome to not just see someone flex but can also explaine every little details.
    I got SM Cath easily down almost everytime now. But now my problem is Arm.
    It seem like I'm unlucky, but i get sometime 3 mob to resist my first nova. What do you propose in this case ? In Cath, you can always make your way around if something like that happens, it seems arms is much more harder to me... I've been trying without using any consumable (despite maybe Greater healing potion), but when I get 3 mobs to resist, I just don't know what to do. At this point my Ice Barrier is not up, i can polymorph only 1 and I can't cast a full Blizzard, making half the trash slowed, the others not.
    Should I Frost Nova again using a cold snap for these 3 mobs ?
    I got arm down only 3 times so far, yet I've had 50+ good pulls on Cath.

    Great vid as always - With Leeway, it only applies when strafing, not just when running. If you use mouse/autorun or use both mouse buttons to move and turn, then you don't activate it and you can freely move without risk of 2m extra melee range - Personally would absolutely not strafe out of your IB on cath, you could instead hold both mouse buttons, use a nova cancel aura macro to get out super safely, full hp, instant frost nova. Just a little smoother and less risk of dying

The first hour you can do 5 runs because the first run doesn’t count until you leave. However at the end of the first hour your 5th run basically starts right at the start of the hour.

    I have a question and I bet you can answer it easily. At 20:25 in the video, instead of Ice Block, you rebuffed yourself with Ice Barrier. My problem is mobs would quickly destroy my shield and I would then be stunned, unable to cast and then die.
    My Talent is same as yours. I have all five regular buffs on your screen: Ice Barrier, Mana Shield, Dampen Magic, Arcane Intellect, and Ice Armor.

      You need to raise your hit bonus, more spell hit, less likely to resist. Make sure your talent are specced to do this, and you try to find some %spell hit pieces to make sure nobody resist.
      Mobs at this level shouldn't be resisting this often with a lvl 60 hitting them and their talents set up for it.

    How do you not get constantly slowed while killing with all these frostbolts? With 84 frost res I'm slowed 24/7 which makes the kill a lot more clunky since it takes an extra second to reposition every time. And they don't even interrupt your blizzard, even though you don't have barrier or frost ward up?

Seems like Magic Absorption is basically required since you need to maintain Mana Shield and Frost Shield the entire time. Then it basically regens all back when you start killing the mobs. Also the slows and keeping them all contained from Improved Blizzard seems to be pretty key as casting Cone of Cold and hitting every single mob is really difficult to do
