idk why people change A and D to strafe. just keep Q and E strafing and unbind A and D. Keeping your fingers on QWE naturally just feels better, easier to reach from there than having a claw on WAD

The chance to get dazed when hit from behind seems to be attacker's weapon skill vs defender's defense. And with every point of defense the defender has over the attacker's attack skill, they become a bit less likely to be dazed. If the defender's defense is 100 points above the attacker's weapon skill (in other words, the defender is 20 levels above the attacker when it comes to npc combat, because each level is +5 to these skills (players need to consider that their defense might not be at its current skillmax)), dazing does not happen. The opposite is probably also true: Higher attacker weapon skill than defender defence -> higher chance to become dazed. Good to keep in mind when riding around, because dazing dismounts you. I'm not sure if immunity to crits also confers immunity to being dazed from behind, hard to test in vanilla, since crit immunity without having 100 pts of defense above the attacker is difficult to establish when you don't have talents that lower your chance to become crit.

I feel like the grind rant is kind of cap, I've leveled a lot in classic and I've never had no quests to do basically. Maybe like now and then I'll grind in the naga cave in ferlas for a level but idk. When I run into quest dry spells I just run dungeons, which I don't really consider mob grinding like he's describing.
Dude I remember playing wow for the first time, I did a couple quest and then I was lost!! then came along a little thing called questie...it made playing soo much better imo.
With regards to banning players in HC over griefing. There is a social contract at the beginning of the character creation process that highlights the methods of interfering with other players that are not acceptable. Intentionally killing another player is mentioned many times in different verbage as being a bannable offense. Everybody skips right past this screen, but it is there. Grief = ban
@SirZipper The eula also basically says botting is against the rules. Blizzard have completely given up on trying to stop them. If they ban 100k accounts, they're back 24hrs later. They are fair game to kill on sight
@@kriddius I want to agree with you but if they're too lazy to actually try they're practically supporting it. It's not as if they'd have to manually search all of Azeroth 24/7, they could just make a script that recognizes when a character is following another script lmao
@SirZipper It's not that they're too lazy, it's a fight they can't win. The sheer scale of betting and the speed of their proliferation made it an impossible task. Blizzard spent years fighting this with everything their staff and budget allowed. The ever changing and always evolving arms race of bot AI made it a much more difficult task to detect them than you'd think so automation was out of the question. It got to the point it required physical involvement and man hours that just wasn't worth the effort with the speed the bots could replace and multiply. In the end the wow token was Blizzard throwing in the towel on the RMT gold market. If Blizzard couldn't stop the illicit monetisation of gold they could at least take a cut
Yeah once you watch the video you realize there was some misunderstanding because Grubby immediately admits he played once. He does seem like a total noob, though
you do not need to keybind Everything keybinds are for things you actually use I do not bind eye of kilrog I do not bind Demon armor or demon skin I do not bind cannibalize these are things not important enough to have a keybind like Immolate shadowbolt death coil fear etc Soda you should know this
1:07:00 SAMEEEEEE I was a 6 or 7 year old and my older brother I think 10 at the time would delete all my characters every time he would load back up on his pc I don't think I made it past level 7 ever and I remember walking around the blood elf zone for so long jus exploring, so glad i can relate to this for once it's exactly the same experience I had lol
I know it's stupid little details and I'm a nerd for saying this but it's technically only if you spend mana on a spell. It's a stupid distinction but I remember when I learnt that I was not worried anymore about life tap interrupting the regeneration, not worth telling a new player though I just wanted to be annoying here.
When I play undead. I always lvl in undercity side till i run out of quests for my lvl. Then I swap to org. Side and quest there. And I hop back and forth so I never stop having quests so I lvl faster
It sad that we have GMs responding 24/7 and appearing in Turtle WoW all the time and we dont have that on Retail WoW. I wish that would come back one day.
1:24:40 soda is just wrong here. your pet on defensive will not attack an enemy that hasn’t hit you 😂 how would the mob hit you if it hasn’t been pulled yet??? People say to put your pet on passive but they have every ability macro’d with their pet attack written in. simply having a button which makes your pet attack and another button to put it on passive is also a choice if you don’t want to macro every single one of your abilities. If you macro all your abilities they will auto update with new spell ranks though
Soda didnt know some basic shit, this is from the first half only ; - Your basic attack will continuously keep going as soon as you attack the target once, even if you cast a spell in between - Leveling up does give you stats - Voidwalker does have a taunt
There seems to be a misconception about voidwalker taunt here and even in soda chat when i was watching. Voidwalker does NOT have a "taunt" in a way warrior has it. Both torment and suffering are just threat generators, void will not taunt the target (gets his attention) after using it, it will just generate decentish amount of threat. But tbh the aggro generators are very weak later
Grubby asked "Do i pick any stats when i lvl up" and Soda said no - bcs its true you get those stats automatically - Grubby asked if he gets stats after lvl and Soda said yes So to your second point - soda knew you get stats for each lvl Maybe u misheard Grubby's question?
😂All i can think is why don't you just play the game? When i learned the game I was 12, it's not that hard to learn. Most of the things you need to learn are very self explanatory. Maybe back then we were all baby geniuses, but guiding a grown man how to play a childrens video game(i love it but its true) is pretty sad. Just play the game for a lil while youll learn all of this super fast
But when you were 12 than you could make mistakes over and over again. Basically learning from trial and error over a period of months. I can see why they are trying to speedrun the information, knowing that they are going into hard-core wow in just a few days. Where mistakes are much more heavily punished.

Best pet command keybind is pet attack mousewheel forward and pet recall mousewheel backward. it just makes so much sens.

I thought this is gna be pretty standard, but Manuels' curious mind always finds some new elements to play with, actually remembering all times I've enjoyed his war3 VODs and esport news with him, HotS games as well, and I see those elements in here :D

Really like this guy. Only heard of him before this. Crazy to be a WC3 player, a Swede, and still not having played wow
alliance has enough quests to get to 60 without grinding.
i think its only horde issue.
"cut from the same cloth..just a different material" rofl
1:05:27 I've read "Manuel's Remains Buried" monkaW
I love how grubby an expert WC3 player cant understand why soda dosent like semicolin as a keybind lmao, love grubby he is the goat.
should also teach him about cast travel time should shadowbolt then immediately hit immolate because they will hit the target at the same time
Please do more of these, maybe a 5-10, 10-15, 15-20 thing, It'd help me, and I'm assuming others, a ton
Does upping the weapon skill not help with the hit% or is that only for melee?
Also, unfortunate imp name. My favorite imp name so far is Jubjub

There's that addon which sometimes suggest to just kill shit instead of questing cuz its faster, but indeed, you can do a quest like always.
Grinding is bigger for Hardcore because it can be easier / lower risk. Non-hardcore it doesn't really matter unless you're min-maxing xp rate
I agree, there are quite a few quests if you're willing to walk to different zones
Love this! hope he plays a little more
I actually dont combine bags so I can easier sort my items into categories
