This was the first video I watched on your channel. This video didn't mention wearing frost resist gear. I then went back and watched your other SM videos, only to find out you recommended wearing frost resist. That could have saved me a couple hours of wiping trying to figure out what I was doing wrong lol.
I'm sorry! My fault! haha. I didn't want to be too repetitive, but I'm learning that I probably should just include them, even if they add a bit of time to the video.
I hit 60 yesterday, haven't stepped 1 foot into a raid. Spent 6 hours dying over and over again. I have shit gear. I watched this video and after the 4th attempt I was finally able to do 10 of these in a row without dying. Thank you so much! Do you have any tips on some frost resist gear I could pick up?
I use a free action potion start at 3:15. once used at this time you are completely immune to any frostbolt or arcane slows for the rest of the run. I then blink up the stairs and barely escape the pack most runs but its good if they were closing in. once up the stairs there is a big difference between the mobs going down the side hallway and going up the stairs and just going straight at you like in the video. Landing that cone of cold is tricky due to BS leeway mobs get which gives them range on their attacks if you're moving. free action potion cost 4 oily blackmouths turned into 2 oils and a strangle kelp. so 16s x 4 = 64s + 10s = 74s + vial. basically around 75s-1g per wipe prevention.
hey mate your runs have been amazing guides, im doing these fairly consistantly now but i activate my gyrofreeze reflector at the same point you do although i am finding even with it up i can still get frostbolted and slowed. is this a bug ?
Hey @Timo you definitely could!! I would recommend SFK because then you could get some nice blues too :). I have a video for that on my channel! th-cam.com/video/e-WMkrWG5c0/w-d-xo.html
Arlaeus ah damn iam retardet 🙈 it some how did not show up for me😂 U even got a rf guide iam loving it i levelt up 4 chars allready and got mi mage ob my second account so your guides are so so helpful thank u very much keep on bringing them ❤️
Hey man, thank you for your great methods presented. My only question is how would you deal with the 14-15 sec Slow debuff which i got randomly from the mages ?
The pvp trinket is a fantastic option! Not going to lie I haven't even hit grunt on my mage haha. Another option is restorative potions + nova/iron grenade
Hi @Arlaeus, are u cancel ur ice block or using some macro? cuz I have been deleted after my ice block goes away, any advice? i have Tier 1 set and 60 frost resistance buffed, Im secure have my ice barrier and mana shield
Great vid, thanks! finally got a successful pull after a handful of tries. The main thing I seem to struggle with is keeping them nicely grouped up for the cones and frost novas, I don't know if there's any tip for that besides practice.
Are you saying after block or before?? If after, one of the best ways to keep them nicely grouped is to make sure you're letting them get semi-close to you during blizzard. If you don't let them get close enough, some mobs are going to be very far behind and potentially outside of blizzard when you jump back down. I typically do 2 blizzards on both the ledge and below then alternate between the two. Hope it helps!
I find everything after the block to be very smooth and enjoyable, quite the safe spot! I mean before the block. I find the pack of mobs gets too spread out such that my cones and novas aren't very effective which just worsens the problem and often leads to me dying.
@@kttoreilly Oh yes they are often quite spread out, but it's really just about keeping that front mob off of you to give you some room. I'm sorry it would be easier if I was able to see it live.
So i had a lot of practice with my normal pulls before doing this one, so this I just did first try. Getting it all down the first time definitely took a day or two of practice though! Just keep trying you'll get it :). Let me know if you have any specific questions!
I occasionally die to some really bad RNG, but very infrequently. I would say my success ratio is likely around 95%? That's for both cath and armory combined.
great job dude, rly reduced the amount of consumes but they're still handy af, i bring 5-10 lips for a rainy day BTW I wasnt getting it easily as much as i trie duntil i realized HOW DUM I WAS: BRO, i had mana shield rank3 in bars instead of rank6. im ashamed
When u said power leveling someone, do u mean u invite 4 lowbies and gets paid 10g from each person per one cath run? Or u inv only one lowbie for him to get max exp?
Is it worth speccing clearcasting since you regen so much mana from resists? In my opinion it'd be better spending those 3 or 4 points into Improved AE and Arcane Resilience, or is there something I'm not thinking of?
@@Deceball07 Yes, but you already have all the mana regen you need in the form of casters literally throwing free mana at you. And since you only have 6% chance to get a clearcasting proc, you're most likley not going to get one whilst blizzarding. Arlaeus only got one proc in this pull, and still went from 20% mana to 80% at the end of the pull. Also since the mobs are humanoids they flee when they're low, and to me the extra 6% crit you get from improved AE helps a lot when finishing them off when they do flee and scatter. Still, I love the video and the content you're putting out Arlaeus, can't wait to see your BRD strategy!
I personally like the chance of clearcasting, because 20% free mana is still really nice when you're first starting your blizzards. The arcane explosion can be utilized, but you also don't want to be too close to 81 mobs at all times because they might just 1 shot you unexpectedly ;)
Doesnt the mobs you pull at the beinning (inside the building) evade and reset before you get them all stacked up ? If im not mistaken, once you pull them too far outside the gate, they run back and evade, or is it just me?
@@arlaeus9491 tested your method yesterday. they def. did follow me all the way. but couldnt seem to find the correct method to do this. kept getting slowed or too many hits during the run, so ended up only taking the once outside the cathedral. (so never opening the doors) . This increased the succesrate to 100% :) The 1 pull armory on the other hand, this i cant get down.. :S 2 -3 resists all the time and they keep spreading out too much so i cant control them. :S None the less, thanks for the vid.. that Cath safespot rly made a difference! :D
Hi I really enjoy your content everything I learn as a mage I learn from you, as for this pull I have one thing that keeps making me wipe, I can do the pull perfectly but its the killing phase where I mess up, for some reason even if I keep on a full blizzard when I jump back and forth the slow from blizzard goes away too fast no matter what I do, what am I doing wrong pleease help me
How many runs did you guys take to master this route? It's been so far my 10th attempt and I'm still dying at the stairs (3:19). Any tips will be highly appreciated. Cheers
Hey Janjan, so the safe route is my most recent of routes. I would probably say it took me about 10 times to master the route, but I also have over a thousand attempts with the other route. That route took me probably 100 attempts to master, because I was figuring it out for myself. If you're dying there I recommend either using an iron grenade or a nova, or even a jump turn cone of cold to get them off you.
@@arlaeus9491 Yeah... I'm using Nova basically when you also use it, but sometimes mobs come too close too damn fast, I broke up in 2 pulls, but the problem is there is no enough caster inside of the cath, so rn I'm doing half of the way.
@@arlaeus9491 I changed a few things... I kill the first 5 mobs in the corridor, so I also create a safe spot for ppl getting carried. And I start the pull from inside of cath, doing the same path as you do once you are inside. Worked really well.
Hi Arlaeus, great videos, been an absolute godsend for farming - I'm trying to do this pull, on occasion it goes nice and smoothly, odd frost bolt here and there isn't a problem - The real killer seems to be getting "Slow", which is 13 seconds long and it's just gg if that happens, how do you avoid it? I've not noticed one happen to you in any of your videos
@@arlaeus9491 Thank you for the quick reply:) just got one now, you've mentioned it a few times and I've been a bit like "Nooo but I like my trunk slots", but it does make a huge difference, sometimes there is nothing you can do if it happens twice, but seem to have the pull down now! Struggling to get the kill itself at the moment, often find 2 or 3 mobs resisting the frost nova, makes it tough. Considering using FS/coc shatter and kite instead of blizzard, but getting there slowly. You make it look so easy haha
I was doing the BRD commander gorshak quest last night on my mage was just wondering if it wud be soloable, 3librams dropped with edgemasters in 4hours. I think thats the best farm out therr
@@dechimonxgaming6899 Solo would be rather difficult, but with some really good kiting it could be possible! I would recommend going shatter spec, flamestrike cone of cold and then blink out the door through the mobs and kite them around outside.
THanks for this video! I recently experience a new issue. Frostbolt aint the issue anymore, but the arcane Slow that slows you down for 15 seconds. How do you deal with that?
Hey Pontus, no problem! So I use a pvp trinket or restorative potion to deal with that! If using the latter just make sure you pull some stuff to last for 5 seconds until it ticks!
about the high money drops, i have experienced that with the faster looting addon, you might get the siilver pooled from multiple mobs, ie. all the silver from 3 mobs showing up at once as the combined number
have been trying to do this farm for days now and have yet to make it to the safe spot b4 dying. Either getting dazed with shield up or getting slowed by bolts with frost ward on
Hey man so I have downshift macros for nearly all of my offensive abilities. When you see low damage spells they're the rank 1 downgrades. I mainly use blizzard, cone of cold, frost nova (always rank 1), and fire blast rank 1. I also use counterspell to pull. In regards to my talents, I have a video out talking about the specific talents and it's my mana regen build with one slight modification. That slight modification is one point into arcane resilience instead of clearcasting. Here's the link to the video :) studio.th-cam.com/users/videoXuQ9isqHbuw/edit
I boost SM Cath and Armory on Gehennas EU and I charge 4g for per dungeon. I make about 150g / hour. It's pretty decent. Plus I get to keep the blue and epic items if the lowbies find them. I thought about charging 5g but I think that is a little steep. You don't want to rip off your customers or be too greedy. Customer satisfaction is important. And oh, during peak hours, my group fill up in less than five minutes. It's quite insane. Some days there is actually a huge surplus of demand for this boost that I could easily raise the price, but again, I don't want to be too greedy. In armory I have to use a lip quite regularly.
Very nice man!! I'm glad you found one that works well for you and are able to make some good gold! I end up giving away my runs for free so I don't really make any gold off them haha, was just trying to go based off my typical server's prices :)
I'm sure there is small tricks like this in every dungeon yet to be discovered.. but we are in a time of gaming where people are more knowledgeable so it's only time until leveling alts to 60 can be done in a day or two lol (if it's not possible already)
@@arlaeus9491 Thanks, I've tried it twice now ( only pulling about half of the instance, 1st attempt was death because i forgot to blink where they can hit you from underneath, the 2nd death was because i needed to get the blizzard off on the tree root area and they ended up being too far apart
During the large majority of my runs I ran with roughly 50 frost resistance, but now I run with 80-90 frost resistance. Very useful items are the PVP trinket and engineering trinket.
@@heisenburger66 So there's varying opinions. In my opinion yes. Technically lower lvs which are gray to you should have a 1% chance to resist you regardless of your hit chance once you have precision. I do however feel like i see less resists with hit so I like to use it!
I have been doing it the last couple days, still works. Only issue I have is arcane slow as I don't have pvp trinket yet, and Escape Artist has a long cast. If I get hit with the slow, it's a 50/50 shot at winning that round.
So I have a cancelaura Ice Block macro that allows me time my cancel when I want to. with that in mind, I make sure they're in a cone behind me so they don't have time to get an extra swing off on me. I'm going to include this in my aoe tips and tricks video :)
@@hendrikneumann5857 So In order to cancel the block you need to right click the buff off, or use a /cancelaura Ice Block macro. I'm not sure if you're just having perfect luck with timing haha, but I don't think that just clicking the block again will cancel it. As far as why people do this, it's so they can dictate where the mobs are going to be placed, and when the mobs are going to swing.
@@arlaeus9491 I'm 100% sure you exit iceblock if you press the button again, always done it like that. I know why you want to time it, I just don't see the need for a macro.
nice video's m8 :o) i got problem with this. i get oom. i got the talents but i oom out and die 99% or tryes. even with bodypulling everting to save mana. any ideas?
Yup I was getting 5%! It's my mana regen talent called magic absorption. Each time I resist a spell I regen 5% of my total mana. I have a video for all of my talents on my channel where I go in detail about the spec :)
@@OhmegadJTHaha ya I'm not personally because i give them for free, but some people are! I had one guy whisper me today saying he made 240g in one hour haha.
I wonder how many times you get slowed or frostbolted at a critical time (meaning death) out of 100 pulls. For me it is 50% + with the same frost resist :( Around 25% with magic resistance potion, meaning 110 frost rez. The pvp trinket solves that tho. With engineer trinket (5 sec fb reflect) it should be fine.
usually worth to use it at the very end of the pull, at the last 6-7 sec before you are going for the iceblock. There you get the most frostbolts coming at you (10 in this video within 4 sec), and this trinket makes it faceroll :)
Your videos are so informative mate! I got the 1 pull SM Cath down now to where I can iceblock on the ledge, but I keep getting 1shot as soon as ib ends.
@@arlaeus9491 Not atm I feel like there's too many hitting at the same time to cancel when they're "least" hitting you. However I made it to the blizzard phase 2 or 3 times now but couldn't clear cause I went past the bush or made mistakes when there were one or two one me. I'll get there eventually :D I am using major health pots every try though (very badly geared mage).
How are you not getting completely destroyed when coming out of ice block? I've tried this a dozen times and there have been runs where I've had close to 100% HP when I block, then I come out and get instantly dazed and hit down anywhere from 0-10% hp every time.
hey everyone having some trouble coming out of iceblock! you can stand on the tip of the right “handrail” if that makes sense and block there. i find i typically have a better chance at living once i come out there
el run funciona bien pero tiene sus complicaciones, puede salir como en el video, si definitivamente , las cadenas lo tiran los magos algunas veces ni bien te targetean te meten las cadenas, 14 seg de cadenas, estas totalmente muerto, para evitar esto necesitas, macro de bloque de hielo para sacarte las cadenas teniendo morderura para restrablecer el CD de bloque , trinket, o el cinto que te saca todo pero tiene 30 min de cd, pasa seguido? no! pero cuando pasa te queres matar, si sos ing hacete un trinket de reflectar (creo que se dice asi xd)y usalo para el ultimo tramo xq aunque a el no le pegaron los frost pueden pegarte hasta tienendo 80 de resistencia, me paso a mi y mas seguido de lo que creen, la resistencia podes conseguirla con dos items que tienen los sastres, uno es un pecho y otro unas manos entre los dos creo que son 25 a 30 de resistencia + 15 del trinket + 15 del escudo, algo mas? si al final cuando tenes a todos los mobs juntos tira rank uno de ventista, junta casi todo el mana resistiendo y despues le das con todo,xq hacer eso? xq algunas veces los magos que tiran frost se quedan tan pegados que tb les pega la ventisca y cuando dejan de castear y corren, no podes generar mas mana con resistiendo y que podes hacer? usar en frasco de mana que aguanta una ventisca y despues? no se que dios te guie, falle miserable mente muchas veces pero el run funciona y es genial para levear algun alter.
I got the twinkle to 45 in the monastery, then I don’t know where and where to continue. ZulFarak - it's hard to get to the graves. A video about the further 40+ booster (except for the monastery) would be relevant
wait.. isnt this the standard spot? also use the first small bush (one farthest away from where you stand) as the landmark or when you jump to grass.. also there IS a chance they will still hit you if you dont jump far enough to the left... on Fairbanks, KC does free runs 28-45.
I had not been using this spot previously and just did it the old fashion way without using terrain. Thanks for the tip :). Shoutout to KC! If you're on Fairbanks definitely check him out for some free runs! One thing - I recommend he swaps to mara at 40, much much more xp.
@@arlaeus9491 yeah I ran with him from 28- 43.. now I'm on my own. 44 now and attempting to solo ZF gy. Lots of deaths early on, but Im able to get there now alive, and do like 3-4 graves at a time (unless they spawn 5 each). DEF helps to bring a healer for the first bit so you get used to the kite range... One thing I did that might be wrong is I kept the 2/3 imp blizz (so as not to conflict with COC's 60% slow), but it looks like you need 3/3 imp blizz for the 75% slow if you intend on using blizz. Otherwise, rank 4 COC kite and use rost Nova as an emergency "get out off range and evo" tool. It is a shame cause COC slow is 11 sec and its cooldown is only 10.. Blizz slow is like 4 secs, but it does big damage. Great vids subbed
Nice man!! Glad you’ve been able to get it down a good bit!! I highly recommend the 3/3 blizzards and what you can do for the cone of cold is just nova before going for it. Have you tried checking out the cone of cold kite strat at all yet?
@@arlaeus9491 I can be a bit thick sometimes..LOL.. I guess all you'd have to do is to Cone BEFORE you blizz..yeah.. then you only have to wait the 4 secs for blizz 75% slow to cast cone's 60%, which should be ok since you should be far when blizzarding. Yeah Ive come across it before, but always discounted it cause I thought 2/3 blizz was undeniable.. AND THEN HIS EYES WERE OPENED!! respec inc! thanks man =)
Was wondering when someone was going to show you this. My latest sm alt boost , the mage doing Cath was doing exactly this. Only difference is he would ib on the left corner ledge of the stairs where you paused in your ice block
Why dont you just pull the Endboss? If you Attack him all mobs from the dungeon will immediately Run at you so you dont have to "collect" a single Mob. Just pull Boss run to water, iceblock and do your strat
So the end boss can’t be cc’d and also stuns, so there’s a lot of rng that could occur and cause you to wipe. He also only pulls the mobs in the chapel, so the mobs outside will be unaffected.

Hey man, thank you for your great methods presented. My only question is how would you deal with the 14-15 sec Slow debuff which i got randomly from the mages ?
Thats the rng thing, but if u can get the pvp trinket. You only need rank 2 for it.
another thing you can do is iceblock and cancel quickly. if you get 2 of the arcane slows your kinda screwed tho
The pvp trinket is a fantastic option! Not going to lie I haven't even hit grunt on my mage haha. Another option is restorative potions + nova/iron grenade
Hi @Arlaeus, are u cancel ur ice block or using some macro? cuz I have been deleted after my ice block goes away, any advice? i have Tier 1 set and 60 frost resistance buffed, Im secure have my ice barrier and mana shield

Awesome video dude! Do you have to be level 60 for this? Or do you think it could be possible to be a few levels lower? Keep up the good work pal!

Ya unfortunately I don't think there's anything like this for armory =(.

Hey Janjan, so the safe route is my most recent of routes. I would probably say it took me about 10 times to master the route, but I also have over a thousand attempts with the other route. That route took me probably 100 attempts to master, because I was figuring it out for myself. If you're dying there I recommend either using an iron grenade or a nova, or even a jump turn cone of cold to get them off you.
@@arlaeus9491 Yeah... I'm using Nova basically when you also use it, but sometimes mobs come too close too damn fast, I broke up in 2 pulls, but the problem is there is no enough caster inside of the cath, so rn I'm doing half of the way.
@@arlaeus9491 I changed a few things...
I kill the first 5 mobs in the corridor, so I also create a safe spot for ppl getting carried.
And I start the pull from inside of cath, doing the same path as you do once you are inside.
Worked really well.
@@janjanshowpeta3234 Heck ya man whatever works for you!!
Hi Arlaeus, great videos, been an absolute godsend for farming - I'm trying to do this pull, on occasion it goes nice and smoothly, odd frost bolt here and there isn't a problem - The real killer seems to be getting "Slow", which is 13 seconds long and it's just gg if that happens, how do you avoid it? I've not noticed one happen to you in any of your videos
So I can’t avoid it, but I either trinket it or use a restorative potion to handle it. Do you have the pvp trinket?
@@arlaeus9491 Thank you for the quick reply:) just got one now, you've mentioned it a few times and I've been a bit like "Nooo but I like my trunk slots", but it does make a huge difference, sometimes there is nothing you can do if it happens twice, but seem to have the pull down now! Struggling to get the kill itself at the moment, often find 2 or 3 mobs resisting the frost nova, makes it tough. Considering using FS/coc shatter and kite instead of blizzard, but getting there slowly. You make it look so easy haha
@@Thegiggleofsteel Haha it's 1000x of practice ;). You got it man!!
@@arlaeus9491 Got it down, beautiful clean kills, you sir are a legend, great guides, can't wait for more, will be great for boosting friends:D
@@ThegiggleofsteelThank you man!! Congrats on getting it down! :). I'm really excited for tomorrow's video.
what is ur addon for seeing the shield remaining?
I absolutely love this videos, thx dudee
Thank you man!! I hope it helps!!
as again great vid, keep up the good work
Thank you man!
I was doing the BRD commander gorshak quest last night on my mage was just wondering if it wud be soloable, 3librams dropped with edgemasters in 4hours. I think thats the best farm out therr
@@dechimonxgaming6899 Solo would be rather difficult, but with some really good kiting it could be possible!
I would recommend going shatter spec, flamestrike cone of cold and then blink out the door through the mobs and kite them around outside.
THanks for this video! I recently experience a new issue. Frostbolt aint the issue anymore, but the arcane Slow that slows you down for 15 seconds. How do you deal with that?
Hey Pontus, no problem! So I use a pvp trinket or restorative potion to deal with that! If using the latter just make sure you pull some stuff to last for 5 seconds until it ticks!
@@arlaeus9491 Ah, very good ideas. Thank you a lot!
@@PG-hf5eh No problem man hope they help!
about the high money drops, i have experienced that with the faster looting addon, you might get the siilver pooled from multiple mobs, ie. all the silver from 3 mobs showing up at once as the combined number
Yes I think you're right! I had no idea until recently about that!
your mana regenerate so fast, is there specific gear needed?
i believe hes using the mana restore on resist talent
Hardknocks is correct! It’s the magic absorption talent in the arcane tree.
Still doing this on 60 classic. Love the challenge.
Need the Brd Vid, how much exp/h will brd be?
It’s going to be somewhere between 75k and 100k/hr!
have been trying to do this farm for days now and have yet to make it to the safe spot b4 dying. Either getting dazed with shield up or getting slowed by bolts with frost ward on
sounds like you need more frost resistance and keep that mana shield and ice barrier up
Ive also found a Reset point, if you get in trouble, ontop of the Fish, on the Right side going into the instance, it will reset the entire dungeon
Oh dang hockey thank you for sharing that!! I had no idea
Which fish? I go to on top of the fish first right as you're facing the waterfall and it's not doing anything.
@@deftmode should be the first one on the right
Hey can you share a bit more of your talents and spells you are using ect? you make it look so easy!
spell ranks* i mean
Hey man so I have downshift macros for nearly all of my offensive abilities. When you see low damage spells they're the rank 1 downgrades. I mainly use blizzard, cone of cold, frost nova (always rank 1), and fire blast rank 1. I also use counterspell to pull. In regards to my talents, I have a video out talking about the specific talents and it's my mana regen build with one slight modification. That slight modification is one point into arcane resilience instead of clearcasting.
Here's the link to the video :)
studio.th-cam.com/users/videoXuQ9isqHbuw/edit
Do you think this Can this be done in APfrost raid spec now that the pathing safe spot exists?
I would say no unless you have the mara dagger. You unfortunately will likely just run out of mana during the pull.
Such a good guide. All your guides are good. But holy shit learning these pulls makes me want to claw my fucking eyes out lol
Hahaha you got this man!!
@@arlaeus9491 thanks bro. You seem like a genuinely nice guy, will check you out when you stream next!
@@arlaeus9491 JUST DID A FULL SM CATH PULL NO CONSUMES AHHHHHHHHHH
@@twitchtv-sweatyscience Nice job man!!!!
@@twitchtv-sweatyscience Thank you man I appreciate it!!!
I boost SM Cath and Armory on Gehennas EU and I charge 4g for per dungeon. I make about 150g / hour. It's pretty decent. Plus I get to keep the blue and epic items if the lowbies find them. I thought about charging 5g but I think that is a little steep. You don't want to rip off your customers or be too greedy. Customer satisfaction is important. And oh, during peak hours, my group fill up in less than five minutes. It's quite insane. Some days there is actually a huge surplus of demand for this boost that I could easily raise the price, but again, I don't want to be too greedy.
In armory I have to use a lip quite regularly.
Very nice man!! I'm glad you found one that works well for you and are able to make some good gold!
I end up giving away my runs for free so I don't really make any gold off them haha, was just trying to go based off my typical server's prices :)
I'm sure there is small tricks like this in every dungeon yet to be discovered.. but we are in a time of gaming where people are more knowledgeable so it's only time until leveling alts to 60 can be done in a day or two lol (if it's not possible already)
I don't think a day is possible but i'm trying for 2 ;)
Thanks a lot! Nice video👌
Thank you Blurry!
It’s Subzero from Bigglesworth! You are a legend man
Yooooo!!! haha thank you man! :). Keep up those sales ;)
Xevus from bigglesworth u r a boss we love the 10g runs :)
@@brandoncope2568 Hell ya thank you man! I do them for free though :)
Bigglesworth crew!!
Okay, so i got 100 nature resist, 2.6k HP, 5.4k mana buffed...... is this okay >?
That is plenty! The health and mana is what I started at as well, but with about 80 less resist haha.
@@arlaeus9491 Thanks, I've tried it twice now ( only pulling about half of the instance, 1st attempt was death because i forgot to blink where they can hit you from underneath, the 2nd death was because i needed to get the blizzard off on the tree root area and they ended up being too far apart
@@qwertyui90qwertyui90 Hey if you're getting that far though you're doing great! Keep it up :)
Do you think it's possible to a new 60 to performe this?
100%, I did it without any gear except boots, rings and trinkets live on the stream the other week :).
thank you so much you change my life
Haha wow thank you man! Glad I could help!
How were you gaining so much mana while casting blizzard? Is this a troll thing or item or spec?
It is his spec in the arcane tree. He is resisting the frost bolts from the mobs, and gaining mana from the resists.
gyro reflector , av epic trinket and necro set for more resi and maybe activate on choke point
Yup all of those are definitely great!
unreal going to try this with my pally
Heck ya man do it!! good luck! let me know how it goes
Yeh, going to do this with my warrior
great vid
Thank you @Glutenslayer!
How much frost resistance do you have?
During the large majority of my runs I ran with roughly 50 frost resistance, but now I run with 80-90 frost resistance. Very useful items are the PVP trinket and engineering trinket.
@@arlaeus9491 ty
@@heisenburger66 Of course!! Let me know if you need anything else.
@@arlaeus9491 is spell hit important for aoe?
@@heisenburger66 So there's varying opinions. In my opinion yes. Technically lower lvs which are gray to you should have a 1% chance to resist you regardless of your hit chance once you have precision. I do however feel like i see less resists with hit so I like to use it!
Is it possible to do this at lvl 42 like in zf? Is it possibly easier than zf say if you need loot and/or gear. Curious to what y'all think.
Unfortunately probably not because you won’t resist the frost spells enough
Two safe spot is in front of the statues next to the waterfall.
Did they fix this or is it me failing bad? they never seem to be slowed more then 1 sec
I have been doing it the last couple days, still works. Only issue I have is arcane slow as I don't have pvp trinket yet, and Escape Artist has a long cast. If I get hit with the slow, it's a 50/50 shot at winning that round.
How do u survive exiting iceblock with almost no dmg?
So I have a cancelaura Ice Block macro that allows me time my cancel when I want to. with that in mind, I make sure they're in a cone behind me so they don't have time to get an extra swing off on me. I'm going to include this in my aoe tips and tricks video :)
@@arlaeus9491 I still don't understand why everybody is using macros to cancel Ice Block. I just press the button again.. Is there any difference?
@@hendrikneumann5857 So In order to cancel the block you need to right click the buff off, or use a /cancelaura Ice Block macro. I'm not sure if you're just having perfect luck with timing haha, but I don't think that just clicking the block again will cancel it. As far as why people do this, it's so they can dictate where the mobs are going to be placed, and when the mobs are going to swing.
@@arlaeus9491 I'm 100% sure you exit iceblock if you press the button again, always done it like that. I know why you want to time it, I just don't see the need for a macro.
@@hendrikneumann5857 Interesting... that's never worked for me, haha but now I will definitely try it when i get home to see!
How do you avoid the magic slow? Don't remember the name of the spell, but it kills me every time inside the cathedral.
PvP-trinket
hello how u regenerate much mana? i lose all my mana
Looking for an addon that will tell me, when i get slowed by frostbolt or by slow. Can you help me out? :)
I just notice debuffs
bug fixed?
nice video's m8 :o) i got problem with this. i get oom. i got the talents but i oom out and die 99% or tryes. even with bodypulling everting to save mana. any ideas?
Sounds like you may be getting too many hits fro the mobs. Try to pull them at max range, or if necessary use the reset spot up top to evocate
How do you get such insane mana regen? When aoeing the mobs you were getting like 5-10% of your total mana every second.
Yup I was getting 5%! It's my mana regen talent called magic absorption. Each time I resist a spell I regen 5% of my total mana. I have a video for all of my talents on my channel where I go in detail about the spec :)
same thing works for Vann if you jump on the wall.. tanked 50% of vann in AV using the wall trick
Dang that’s wild I had no idea.
What level do i need to be to start trying this method
So I’d recommend 60 to do the pull, but you can get good xp for alts/friends from 21-42 here!
awesome video :) ty
What server are you on where people are willing to pay 10g for SM runs lol? At most, it’s 4g on Kirtonos.
I'm on Bigglesworth! Both alliance and horde are selling it for 10g.
Arlaeus that’s INSANE! Man, y’all must be bankin over there. I advertise that and I’ll get laughed at lol. Man, this sucks.
@@OhmegadJTHaha ya I'm not personally because i give them for free, but some people are! I had one guy whisper me today saying he made 240g in one hour haha.
I wonder how many times you get slowed or frostbolted at a critical time (meaning death) out of 100 pulls. For me it is 50% + with the same frost resist :( Around 25% with magic resistance potion, meaning 110 frost rez. The pvp trinket solves that tho. With engineer trinket (5 sec fb reflect) it should be fine.
What is that Eng trinket called?
@@tkbar57 Gyrofreeze Ice reflector classic.wowhead.com/item=18634/gyrofreeze-ice-reflector
usually worth to use it at the very end of the pull, at the last 6-7 sec before you are going for the iceblock. There you get the most frostbolts coming at you (10 in this video within 4 sec), and this trinket makes it faceroll :)
So if you get slowed since you don't have a trinket you just die then?
You can use block and cold snap
Your videos are so informative mate! I got the 1 pull SM Cath down now to where I can iceblock on the ledge, but I keep getting 1shot as soon as ib ends.
Thank you man!!! Do you use a cancelaura block macro?
@@arlaeus9491 Not atm I feel like there's too many hitting at the same time to cancel when they're "least" hitting you. However I made it to the blizzard phase 2 or 3 times now but couldn't clear cause I went past the bush or made mistakes when there were one or two one me. I'll get there eventually :D I am using major health pots every try though (very badly geared mage).
@@whatdolhavetodo you got this man! Just takes practice, but you'll get it down :).
@@arlaeus9491 I realized I didn't have minor speed on boots enchanted. Maybe it'll be easier when I do lol!
There you go!! It definitely will be!
How are you not getting completely destroyed when coming out of ice block? I've tried this a dozen times and there have been runs where I've had close to 100% HP when I block, then I come out and get instantly dazed and hit down anywhere from 0-10% hp every time.
He uses a macro to come out of block, not just let it fade off. He has it in his horde aoe leveling 30-36 video.
I couldn't figure out the 2-pull for shit, but I can get this 50% of the time after about 10 attempts. Much easier!
hey everyone having some trouble coming out of iceblock! you can stand on the tip of the right “handrail” if that makes sense and block there. i find i typically have a better chance at living once i come out there
I struggle surviving once I'm out of iceblock, it's a pain!
make sure you have both shields on and full and try jump nova when you get out of iceblock
el run funciona bien pero tiene sus complicaciones, puede salir como en el video, si definitivamente , las cadenas lo tiran los magos algunas veces ni bien te targetean te meten las cadenas, 14 seg de cadenas, estas totalmente muerto, para evitar esto necesitas, macro de bloque de hielo para sacarte las cadenas teniendo morderura para restrablecer el CD de bloque , trinket, o el cinto que te saca todo pero tiene 30 min de cd, pasa seguido? no! pero cuando pasa te queres matar, si sos ing hacete un trinket de reflectar (creo que se dice asi xd)y usalo para el ultimo tramo xq aunque a el no le pegaron los frost pueden pegarte hasta tienendo 80 de resistencia, me paso a mi y mas seguido de lo que creen, la resistencia podes conseguirla con dos items que tienen los sastres, uno es un pecho y otro unas manos entre los dos creo que son 25 a 30 de resistencia + 15 del trinket + 15 del escudo, algo mas? si al final cuando tenes a todos los mobs juntos tira rank uno de ventista, junta casi todo el mana resistiendo y despues le das con todo,xq hacer eso? xq algunas veces los magos que tiran frost se quedan tan pegados que tb les pega la ventisca y cuando dejan de castear y corren, no podes generar mas mana con resistiendo y que podes hacer? usar en frasco de mana que aguanta una ventisca y despues? no se que dios te guie, falle miserable mente muchas veces pero el run funciona y es genial para levear algun alter.
Hey man I was unorthadox that whispered u today when u were on ur lock!! About Cath runs .. wtf are u wearing to get all that Mana back mp5???
Arcane talent gives mana back when you resist a spell. That's why he gets the frost resist gear.
Spencer hit it on the head!
Good job
Thank you Jason!
I got the twinkle to 45 in the monastery, then I don’t know where and where to continue. ZulFarak - it's hard to get to the graves. A video about the further 40+ booster (except for the monastery) would be relevant
Hi! Check the rest of my channel there’s a Maraudon video :). Gets up to 50 pretty easily.
wait.. isnt this the standard spot? also use the first small bush (one farthest away from where you stand) as the landmark or when you jump to grass.. also there IS a chance they will still hit you if you dont jump far enough to the left... on Fairbanks, KC does free runs 28-45.
I had not been using this spot previously and just did it the old fashion way without using terrain. Thanks for the tip :). Shoutout to KC! If you're on Fairbanks definitely check him out for some free runs!
One thing - I recommend he swaps to mara at 40, much much more xp.
@@arlaeus9491 yeah I ran with him from 28- 43.. now I'm on my own. 44 now and attempting to solo ZF gy. Lots of deaths early on, but Im able to get there now alive, and do like 3-4 graves at a time (unless they spawn 5 each). DEF helps to bring a healer for the first bit so you get used to the kite range... One thing I did that might be wrong is I kept the 2/3 imp blizz (so as not to conflict with COC's 60% slow), but it looks like you need 3/3 imp blizz for the 75% slow if you intend on using blizz. Otherwise, rank 4 COC kite and use rost Nova as an emergency "get out off range and evo" tool. It is a shame cause COC slow is 11 sec and its cooldown is only 10.. Blizz slow is like 4 secs, but it does big damage. Great vids subbed
Nice man!! Glad you’ve been able to get it down a good bit!! I highly recommend the 3/3 blizzards and what you can do for the cone of cold is just nova before going for it. Have you tried checking out the cone of cold kite strat at all yet?
@@arlaeus9491 I can be a bit thick sometimes..LOL.. I guess all you'd have to do is to Cone BEFORE you blizz..yeah.. then you only have to wait the 4 secs for blizz 75% slow to cast cone's 60%, which should be ok since you should be far when blizzarding. Yeah Ive come across it before, but always discounted it cause I thought 2/3 blizz was undeniable.. AND THEN HIS EYES WERE OPENED!! respec inc! thanks man =)
@@TheSP4RH4WK Haha no problem man!! I hope you like the new spec and can keep getting faster and faster!
whats the addon that makes his bags look like 1 whole bag
Bagnon
did they fix this safe spot in TBC?
no, confirmed I just did it almost phase 3 tbc
Was wondering when someone was going to show you this. My latest sm alt boost , the mage doing Cath was doing exactly this. Only difference is he would ib on the left corner ledge of the stairs where you paused in your ice block
Ya i had no idea the whole time! haha. It's a nice trick though!
Why dont you just pull the Endboss? If you Attack him all mobs from the dungeon will immediately Run at you so you dont have to "collect" a single Mob. Just pull Boss run to water, iceblock and do your strat
So the end boss can’t be cc’d and also stuns, so there’s a lot of rng that could occur and cause you to wipe. He also only pulls the mobs in the chapel, so the mobs outside will be unaffected.
SUBBED thank you!!!!!
Thank you Andrew!!
