Pro tip: If you Stun Van Cliff through 50% (so stun on 51% and dps him down to 49% before the stun runs out) then he won't summon the second pair of adds
Smite is the same. stunning at his %'s so 60 and 30% you can skip his stun and whale on him for free. mind you this tip wont really help in Solo, but, if you have other people in the grp, if they LOS behind the pillars at the bottom of the bridge that also prevents those people from being stunned
Yeah, currently working on a small "speed levelling" video, as it's crazy how fast you can level if you focus on the right bosses, especially in WC (at-least as a druid)
What an awesome project! Brings me back to the pre-TBC classic days where I would farm DM on my feral druid solo style like this video. Since you asked about any tips I recommend going to the key binding blizzard menu and scrolling down till you reach marks, I usually use F5-10 for the most important marks Skull>cross>moon>diamond>square its just a QoL when tanking in classic vanilla. Second thing Id advise is probably getting alchemy and herbalism since you have access to uncontested high quality herbs in dungeons like ghost mushrooms you can use to make some profit from the AH, not to mention how OP pots and elixirs can be. Looking forward to more runs!
Oh love the idea with marks! Gonna try to find some good keybinds for me going forward! Regarding professions, I kinda wanted to try to keep professions out of this, at least as long as possible, to make it as easy for anyone to replicate this. But yeah going forward I probably need every bit of help I can get to beable to solo dungeons
That was perfect dude, only think i could point out is on the boat when you jump down to make them path around heal up so 5 second rule for mana regen and then shifting into bear so you can pop enrage to build rage up and not get hit while your armor is reduced. Besides that little nit pick your amazing brother
Soloing group content has always been the most interesting thing to me in mmos, when you deliberately undertake a task with over the curve difficulty to potentially get still relevant rewards for your level. I remember soloing sunken temple bosses on my fresh 60 priest to get pre bis wrists at the time, before DM release, some of the best classic memories. P.S. still less risky than running it with a group of randoms, lol
Oh wow, I'm actually super glad to hear that people soloed high dungeons like sunken temple, makes me think this might actually be possible! 😅 But yes, it's a blast so far, super enjoyable to try wow in a new different way!
I would love to see highlights of trash that might have been a little bit challenging or needed certain tricks to do safely in videos like this.Thats my only feedback other than; great video! Well played and good pacing in the edit/commentary.
Full live version you can find here: th-cam.com/video/jjtaOEAXdlY/w-d-xo.html :) But it's a good point, I will try to include highlights in my next video! Thank you!
this guide was amazing, just finished solo DM as a rogue (no world-buffs and no enchants etc.) Pretty doable if you know the kite spots etc. Smite was kinda sus tho and went down to about 10% hp last phase kiting him back. vancleef was chill because you can endlessly stall jumping up and down
that was such a cool vid! I feel like you could maybe talk about some notable trash packs(if there are any) in the future. Looking towards the next vid! ❤
@@AkinupGaming I don't remember, this was when I was a child and played WoW. I just remember I farmed my fang set :D Also I remember I always had good gear, since I mostly leveled in dungeons.
I think they made mobs less experience and bosses more experience in dungeons to discourage boosting. I think that's why you get so much more experience that you expected.
I didn't know that! That would explain a lot, I actually working currently on a small speed levling video, as I'm amazed on how quickly you can level by soloing dungeons if you optimise it a bit!
maybe it's an idea to go into the resto tree after balance? Furor is a kinda insane talentfor this shapeshifting playstyle, Nature's focus, Insect swarm seems pretty good aswell
Idk, I feel like you will lose a lot of solo potential without omen of clarity since you then won't be able to shapeshift to heal without going oom kinda. And I don't think it's ideal then keeping 11 points in balance and going down feral since the good feral talents are far down in the feral tree. Also Thorns talent I feel like is more dmg than any of the feral talents kinda, it's so op. But this is just my thoughts of course, I'm not saying I have final conclusion or anything. I just think it's very interesting. This heal without pushback from resto tree and I guess insect swarm for single target bosses actually looks really strong on paper . @@AkinupGaming
Good job! I'd suggest showing the loots a bit longer, for some items it was too fast to read the stats, also if it is a cool item esp. weapons, it's nice to show their look
Question that maaay have been answered not sure but how exactly are you doing the level requirements for a dungeon? Is it like the last ‘recommended’ level?
The hardcore addon has a list of which level range is allowed for each dungeon, I usually try it 2 levels before the highest level for the first time and then come back if I was too weak. Best example my SFK videos :)
What I don't understand is why are you going in there with green equipment? and without armor sets, the whole thing is much easier. but even more respect
my easyframes on classic makes every ones profile their class logo and not their character profile like yours. when i go to easyframes settings there's no options, how do i fix this like yours are
I think it would be super hard, and you would have to optimise your gear a lot, once I'm stuck or done with druid, I will definitely try other classes!
Good video, I enjoyed it! Feedback, let me put my negative hat on: how do we know you didn't do this on a regular era server, died 10 times on each boss, only recorded the attempt that worked, etc. But that's not my real views, and honestly I appreciate that you only show the boss fights, I don't need to see you clearing DM Trash :) I hope you make it all the way to 60, cheers!
Good point tho, would you think it makes sense to upload als the raw footage of the run? It's very long and boring, especially because I'm not very good at talking while playing 😅
I agree, from 1 to 59 they seem super strong (but I haven't played much classic, this is my highest character 😅) I also heard that on level 60 they fall behind other classes
@@AkinupGaming its true they arent the best at anything. but sweaty feral druids can easily top the meters in any raid tier in classic. and i held my own as a healer in classic as a druid, they will always be brought to raid.
I agree that you should try to play wow in a group of friends, but i didn't really had anyone that wanted to start wow classic hardcore with me, so i decided for a solo challenge :)
@@Drishby and the point of farming that is what? It's not like there aren't decent green quest rewards, especially at lvl 25 and especially as a druid, who isn't that gear dependable. The only reason to farm that set is for twink pvp, which is obviously not existant on hardcore. Everything else is a waste of time.
I also did the Wailing Caverns: th-cam.com/video/HOeJhAFGoks/w-d-xo.html

2 hour dungeon for 1.5 level and all the quest done. That's not bad.
... and surviving :D

Stopwatches for each relevent thing would be cool!
100% Agree, didn't even thought about it! Do you know if and how I can add them after I uploaded the video?
Timestamps? Lmao stopwatches
dude thats insane, i play druid my whole life and i never could fathom you can do it like that
ty for inspiration
I'm glad you liked it! If you need any help / tips on doing it yourself, let me know!
Dudu masterclass! Great work, dude!
THANK YOU! ❤
Now that’s impressive! Never would’ve thought this can be done solo! Keep it up!

The Balls on this Guy, nice to see this work, good for you man Upvoted!
Hahaha I was sooooo nervous doing this, as this is my highest character and I don't have that much time for playing currently 😅
Now that’s hardcore, hats off to you homie! Keep the vids keeping, interested in seeing SFK or Wailing caverns 😮
WC is up and SFK in progress! 😅But thank you! ❤
I love this! I've been sharing your videos man hope it gets popular!
Awww thank you! ❤
this guide was amazing, just finished solo DM as a rogue (no world-buffs and no enchants etc.) Pretty doable if you know the kite spots etc. Smite was kinda sus tho and went down to about 10% hp last phase kiting him back. vancleef was chill because you can endlessly stall jumping up and down
You could BEARly wait until Van'Cleef was there. Haha, nice run! ❤
ba dum tss 😅 thank you!
that was such a cool vid! I feel like you could maybe talk about some notable trash packs(if there are any) in the future. Looking towards the next vid! ❤
Good idea! I mostly skipped any, but gonna keep it in mind going forward.
I really like what you're doing here.
Well done my guy! Really impressive!
THANK YOU! ❤
I love these challenges. Well played!
So nice! I actually did some bosses of WC as level 26 on my Druid (but normal server). Cool to see someone else do stuff like this.
*high five* How did you manage Verdan? I got insanely lucky to even have a small chance.
@@AkinupGaming I don't remember, this was when I was a child and played WoW. I just remember I farmed my fang set :D

Nice job playing druid 🐻 thank you for sharing keep the content coming. 🎉
This video was great you did really well mate!
THANK YOU! ❤
Everyone that died in DM with 5 mans grp watching this video. AHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAH

Yeah was thinking the same, I'm really not sure yet, I have the fear I will start missing a lot of dmg if I don't go soon full feral 🤔

@@Qoull I 100% agree with you, I'm just very unsure 😢 But I will just try both out and let you know what was better! 😅
Good vid, hope to see more of this
THANK YOU! ❤
Good stuff dude
i remember soloing uldaman rares with my paladin in 2019 in the search for Pendulum of Doom
What are Uldaman rares? Inside the dungeon?
uldaman elites i mean@@AkinupGaming
Good shit! Love it!
Krass wie viel XP die Bosse geben. ^^ Starke Leistung!
Yup, war auch sehr überrascht!
great video. loved watching.
a really good job !
This was really cool good job!
THANK YOU! ❤
9000XP for the fat guy in the beginning!!!
Awesome! Looks fun!
That's really amazing dude :0 can i ask what IU you use for portrait, i love the health bar , how big it is :) Thanks! keep up the good work
Thank you :) I use UnitFramesImproved for the portrait! Hope that helps :)
cool video, u should make more!
Thank you, will do!
Good run, impressive!
THANK YOU! ❤
amazing man, amazing!!!
Solid work!
Amazing!
Almost missed that huge chunk of XP for killing cookie at the end leveling you up to 26 at 14:55
Hahahahah never forget cookie!!!
AWESOME VIDEO!!!!
good job man!
how hardcore can people become...nice, gg bro
very good video
Good job! I'd suggest showing the loots a bit longer, for some items it was too fast to read the stats, also if it is a cool item esp. weapons, it's nice to show their look
Oh good point, I will try to react to them when recording and show the footage going forward!
Well played and explained
THANK YOU! ❤
You got an asmr voice!
giga chad druid
Very cool, thanks
0 proffesions seems crazy when trying to do something this difficult
I wanted it to be as easy as possible for others to replicate :)
Impressive!

Please upload the whole run video for those of us who like to see how you deal with trash
The whole run is actually already live here: th-cam.com/video/jjtaOEAXdlY/w-d-xo.html 😃
very well done
i went into this thinking there's no way... but ill be good gosh darned if he didn't do it
hahahaha yeah I also had no idea if it even was possible 😅
Gameerrrr
indeed
What I don't understand is why are you going in there with green equipment? and without armor sets, the whole thing is much easier. but even more respect
I wanted it to be as easy as possible for others to replicate :)
wait bosses only give ~600 exp now?..
my easyframes on classic makes every ones profile their class logo and not their character profile like yours. when i go to easyframes settings there's no options, how do i fix this like yours are
I use UnitFramesImproved, but Easy Frames, also looks great, I will give it a try!
I love classic wow for "stupid" things like this - azeroth is your sandbox!
Yes, 100% agree. You can always find something new!
nice , which private server you did this on
love european people
Sehr nice
You have a stun? Why not avoid the 2nd lot of ads on VC?
Actually didn't know about this, gonna do that going forward! 😅
How did the pre noss adds work out i know some of those pull could get hairy
Full run is here: th-cam.com/video/jjtaOEAXdlY/w-d-xo.html 😄
I wonder if this is possibke at all with a warrior eith the best bandages and potions available to him?
no
I think it would be super hard, and you would have to optimise your gear a lot, once I'm stuck or done with druid, I will definitely try other classes!
what's the addon you use that show ennemy nameplates like that with the dot / debuff they got over their head ?
It's called Plater Nameplates, I used it without any custom configuration :)
@@AkinupGaming thx a lot
Good video, I enjoyed it!

Lack of skeletons and the boosted xp from bosses is the proof.
@@Shovelbutt12 Oh good point the boosted XP, yes!
Good point tho, would you think it makes sense to upload als the raw footage of the run? It's very long and boring, especially because I'm not very good at talking while playing 😅
How is your nameplate with castbars addon called
It's called Plater Nameplates :)
epic
Why not to use world buffs?
I wanted to keep it as simple as possible for others to also try it out! So no professions or buffs 😄
No love for cookie??
Yes cookie! End of the video! 😅
I’m sure I could solo it at 60
Hahaha it's not that bad, give it a try, it can be actually really fun :)
druids are very stong in dungeons and the open world, go druids!
No there not
They're one of the weakest classes in Classic lol
That hybrid tax hits hard
I agree, from 1 to 59 they seem super strong (but I haven't played much classic, this is my highest character 😅) I also heard that on level 60 they fall behind other classes
@@AkinupGaming its true they arent the best at anything. but sweaty feral druids can easily top the meters in any raid tier in classic. and i held my own as a healer in classic as a druid, they will always be brought to raid.
@@laceduponaey thank you for admitting you have little to no experience in classic wow. also, its "no theyre not" but you already knew that
Playing this game solo is already annoying enough
I agree that you should try to play wow in a group of friends, but i didn't really had anyone that wanted to start wow classic hardcore with me, so i decided for a solo challenge :)
@@AkinupGaming since you are posting this and getting views you should keep doing it. I can't stand this game without a friend. I wish you the best.
Amazing content but I didn't enjoy trying to figure out what this man is whispering about. But as again great preparation for an insane challenge.
Hahahha yeah sorry, nervous + doing a video for a first time is not a good combination for a video 😅 Will try to improve going forward!
Cool video bro but speak a bit louder please
Turn your volume up
Will do! Was just very nervous and never recorded my voice before, will be hopefully better in the future :)
WHY ARE YOU TALKING SO FAST??? THERE IS LITERALLY NO REASON FOR IT
Because I'm super nervous, I'm recording my voice for the first time and never done a video like this. I hope I will get better at this going foward!
@@AkinupGaming Alright sorry man, didnt mean to be rude
Speak into your mic
Hahahah yes, my voice is waaay to quiet, I will try to improve in my next videos!
Why would you solo an overleveled dungeon, especially as a druid, where nothing good drops for him?
he did do 1.5 level in 2 hour + all the quest and he still was relatively safe.
Nothing good drops for him?? The dungeon with an entire leather set and 11 stamina blue leather chestplate? 5 stamina cloak? 11 str 2h hammer?
for fun?
@@Drishby and the point of farming that is what? It's not like there aren't decent green quest rewards, especially at lvl 25 and especially as a druid, who isn't that gear dependable.

@@GermanBoy00I know it's a crazy concept for some people but .. he did it for fun. You should try having that as well some time :3
Sperg
You aren't sure if you will use the bis mace til 30+ in the next dungeon? Lol okay bro
