- A lot of you have been asking for a commentary video where I break down my thoughts and playstyle in high keys - and here it is! 🔥 In this video, I’ll be sharing Tips, Tricks, and my thought process as I run through the spidernest of Ara-Kara +13. 🕷️
Enjoy the run, and don’t forget to leave your thoughts in the comments! 👇
And as always: Feel free to ask me any qustions along the way - here or on my discord (find link here on TH-cam!).
You can Call Me Chike ❤️
full commentary is it. This is masterclass. I learned a lot in one video because I don't know most other classes spells
@@DannyPapadopoulos I am so happy that you find my videos helpful! Highly appreciated ⭐️ feel free to ask any questions if you need some clarification 🔥
This is awesome. Commentary helps so much to see what your thought process is for each encounter and it helps a lot to give an idea of what to expect and what to do on each pull of a dungeon. Well done and thank you!
@@MrCarlWax Thank you so much for the comment man - highly appreciated! 🫡 Gives me more motivation to do more videos like this in the future. Any dungeon you would like to see next? ⭐️
Please do more commentary. As a new player and having chosen Druid, this is the kind of video I needed to keep me from just quitting and going Balance. This is so much more helpful than those dumb "10 Biggest Tips" videos everyone does. Subbed, thank you
@@AntonyYTube thanks for you comment man - glad you found the video helpful. I myself wanted to see these full commentary videos when I chose restodruid, but couldn’t find any videos. That’s why I made these two full run commentarys. What run would you like to see next? Then I’ll try to make it work - working on PTR atm, but can squeeze in a commentary for you! 🫡
Great video, very helpfull just what i wad looking for
@@Stemplton very glad you liked it man 👌 There is also a commentary run from MIST and Stonevault if you want to see more 🤓
This is a joy to watch. I'm hovering around 10s and probably won't be going much higher as I'm not that bothered after hitting this level xD Pretty cool to watch skilled players push way past a +10 to 15's and beyond!
@@philmehrart The gap between 11’s and 12’s is insane. When you’re doing keys higher than 12 the game becomes insanely hard to play imo. It is fun to push for higher keys though 🤓 thanks for being here!
Just made a resto alt , I came from a MW monk. I started healing this expac and have had so much fun. I managed to get 2700. This video has helped heaps mate!
@@Jimmbo91 Thanks man, glad to hear my content helped you! 🫡 How’s MW doing atm?
Really great vid 🤙🏼🤙🏼
@@fleetbix Thanks man - glad you liked it 🔥
Oh wow I’d love to get my paws on some of those handy weak auras you use like the bloom one and the heart of the wild ready one
@@Waevform You can have those without a doubt man! The most easy way for me to share them is if you pump on discord and text me there 🔥 then I’ll send you any weakaura you need - there’s a lot of them haha 😅 I have a (old) UI/weakaura video here on TH-cam you can watch if you like! Talk to you soon!
Thank you so much. I think it helps me a lot. Also very Entertainment 😊
@@HealOverTime You are very welcome 💪 Glad you liked it - remember to always ask if you have any questions I can help you with! 🔥
I really appreciate the in detail commentary! Did you actually hard cast Heart of the Wild during or the run or just used the procs from "`Call of the Elder Druid"?
@@Schelmenstueck You are very welcome man - pleasure having you here ⭐️
I just went through the VOD - I used it on first and last boss. Should have used it on 2. Boss too to be more optimized 🙏
If I was to make more commentary videos, what dung would you like to see next? 💪
@@CallMeChike Thank you so much, I missed that on the bosses since so much was going on.
heyyy glee is my boy!!!
@@skarnexonline4446 Glee is the best 🔥 I love playing with him 🫡
I learned a lot, but i am not sure, how you keep up the amount of abilities. Would you please do a Video about your key- and clickbindings? How do you shapeshift that fast (is it on mouse wheel?)
@@ELi-cu honestly my keybinds are all over the place haha. If we are only talking about forms I have catform on “G”, travelform on “”SHIFT-SPACE” and bear form on “CONTROL-2” 😅 So… very confusing I would imagine. And not very fast keybinds to click tbh.
Not sure what part of my keybinds or what sequence of spells you are looking for, but I guess it’s just playing with high Haste and getting used to high APM gameplay 🤷♀️ can make a video about it though 🫡
@@CallMeChike Yes, that could help. Maybe i am only slow :D. I do often forget were i placed a spell and have to remember by looking on my bars. That isn't very efficient. -.-
@@ELi-cu That comes with the hours and practice. Put your spells somewhere where you remember them and then practice your rotation so you “get it into your hands” 🔥💃
@CallMeChike brilliant video !
A video with your taskbar setup and abilities that are out on the screen would be really handy. Your screen seems so streamlined and clear.
@ Kinda like a explainer for what everything on my screen means? Just want to make sure I understand your comment 🤓 Cause I already did a UI video here on TH-cam taking about my setup, but could do a more in-depth video about what the different things on screen do, if that’s what you mean 👌
Nice video, just started resto aswell at lvl 80, it's kind of overwhelming, alot of stuff to consider, with cat form and bear form. But I like it alot and will keep at it for s2. Just one question your UI is it standard? I havr elvui and I feel like ny screen is always so messy yours looks clean and visible
@@Soledbeartv thanks man ⭐️ Ye, restodruid can be tough just getting into as a fresh player 👀 Forms are super cool but needs to be managed 😇
My whole UI is custom-made, you can find it here on TH-cam or join my discord and I’ll help you set it up (and answer any restoration Druid questions you might have).
I’ve just uploaded a new “5 builds” video and a “Wildstalker vs Keeper” video that could also be good for you to watch as a new player 🫡 let me know if you need any help 🙏
Takeaways for me:
- Watch others' personal Defensives more critically (I redid my UI a little to do this better)
- Stagger interrupts, don't have to kick all, but just ideally just not letting double casts go off
- (Keep your defensives for the next dungeon)
- More DPS need to take responsibility for the damage they take as a group effort (no more solo only play)
- DPS need to do more DPS (seeing overall your dps near or over 2mil) => Many of the groups I end up in are pushing 1.2-1.4mil and we're trying to do 12s and it's WORK to heal and get anything down.
@@AlexRamsbey Hey man - so happy to read and see your comment to understand everything you learned from the video! Highly appreciated ⭐️
- As you can see in this key, tracking personal defensives is so important! So getting that sorted in your UI is a very good idea 🙏
- Getting an understanding of “High Priority Kicks” is very important for these keys. Most of the time you won’t be able to kick every little cast, so someone needs to save kicks for the dangerous spells, like volleys, AOE’s etc.
- Hahahaha, that Sham did not want to use Earth Ele more than once 🥲
- The whole group is responsible for the keys succes. Everyone needs to play as a team, even when playing pugs. If the rest of the group is dead, you can’t solo the dungeon anyways 🤷♀️
- People need to be able to play their classes and do high and consistent DPS for those high keys to be timeable. Otherwise you are just carrying someone, and nobody likes that imo 🙈 as you say - if the DPS is low, that packs and bosses will live longer = way more to heal and control.
Again, thank you so much for your comment! Feel free to join my discord if you want to discuss some more high key gameplay 🔥🫡
You killed it bro so helpful. I always feel as a newer resto druid all I do is stare at healthbars lol and non stop HOTS thats the only complaint I have its not like resto shaman or mistweaver where you passively heal through eather damage or totems which makes it easier to focus on damage. Do you always pre DOT everyone with regrowth before every pull? Im just trying to learn tips and tricks its been a bit of a struggle. I play every other healer with no issues but resto has just been tough for me to get good at and do good DPS. Also is wildstalker better than keeper of the grove?
@@taylorwhite2751 Thanks man - appreciate the kind words! 🙏 So there’s more questions to this. First of all it is always nice to pre-hot everyone before pull. Most importantly Lifebloom, Ward and Efflorescence. If you play all other healers restodruid will feel week - it’s most likely the weakest healer this season together with holy priest sadly 😭
For hero talents they are both good choices. I usually say, Keeper is more “safe”, stay back and HOT people up kinda playstyle, while Wildstalker is more, go into catform and do dps when everyone is topped, kinda melee playstyle. Both works super fine until 12’s imo - just depends on your playstyle. I’ve made a video about it here on TH-cam - Wildstalker vs Keeper - you can go check that out ⭐️👌
Do you have an add on breakdown with import codes?
@@theperipateticgumshoe9047 Go check out my UI/weakaura video here on TH-cam. Hope you find what you need from that - and if not, please join my discord and I can help you get what you’re looking for 💪
Insane content, but Cat’voking seems so impossible to get right. As a newer player/healer its probably easier to start with ranged dmg as a resto? Or say fck it and just go cat all day? :P
@@hkp9257 I myself played the ranged Keeper of the grove talent build until 12’s/13’s. Tried out wildstalker but did not like the gameplay. Then I started pushing higher keys where suddenly people stopped taking unnecessary damage - which gave me a lot of time to do dps. Then I gave wildstalker another chance and started to like the gameplay more.
To answer your question - I honestly think it’s a personal preference. But yea, imo keeper range build is more beginner friendly 🤩
@@CallMeChike thank you
@@hkp9257 my pleasure ⭐️
What’s your bloom up weak aura mate?
@@scalieh7834 it’s a custom Weakaura I’ve made myself. You can find it here on TH-cam in my UI video or join my discord and read more about it 💪
the little adds on the last boss seem quite buggy
i had it multiple times on my priest - pressing fear - did not remove the root
also lately on my monk
i used kick and even legswipe - but it didnt let me move out - just tigers lust worked for some magical reason
@@toba5878 Tigers Lust removes all roots. That’s why it worked for you. But ye - I’ve seen it all so many times that the little ads won’t let go, or there is multiple adds on you etc. ARAK last boss is just so chaotic as healer imo 🤷♀️
Thanks for all your great comments man - glad to have you here! 💃
Yo how do i get that weakaura you have that thing is clean
@@Tukex21 You can do one of two things: Go watch my UI video here on TH-cam and follow the link to my Weakaura Pack - or join my discord and I’ll send you everything you need, and even help you set it up if you need that too 🫡
@ I tried joining the cord but it said inv invalid :(
@@Tukex21 try this one: discord.gg/4W39hfAM
Are you able to share your WA package; specifically the HOTW tracker?
@@afkhe I’ve made a UI/Weakaura video here on TH-cam, you should be able to find everything there. If something is missing there, let me know and I’ll send you exactly what you are looking for 🫡🙏
Do you have Lifebloom macroed to cast on yourself and the tank? I couldn't catch where you would mouse over the unit frame to cast it.
@@brigga72 I have Lifebloom and Cenarion Ward on @focus macro on tank. I can hold “ALT” to make them self-cast and then I use the addon Clique, to overwrite the macro completely cause I am able to use the spells on “non-focused” targets my mouseovering them. Gives a lot of possibilities and flexibility in my gameplay, while still keeping bloom up on tank with 1 click 🤓
Are your frames default blizz UI? IF so, how do you get lifebloom to show up in the middle like that?
@@gregm4758 My recommendation is to go watch my UI/Weakaura/Add-on here on TH-cam ⭐️
It’s default Wow UI with a custom Weakaura for the big lifeblooms - you can find that in my weakaura pack here on TH-cam or on my discord 🙏
@@CallMeChike Awesome, thanks for the quick reply
@ ofc - pleasure having you here 🤩👌
what is the "meow" tracking?
@@lukeskyknocker4781 It’s tracking the 15 sec Heart of the Wild prog from the talent “Call of the Elder Druid” ⭐️ So I know when to pump out damage 🔥
guide normal say keepin a LB on yourself is worse than on a partymember, and should be avoided- i noticed you like always use one on yourself - is there a reason for it? guide bad? just curios^^
@@toba5878 when speced into “Photosynthesis” my heals heal 10% faster when LB is on myself. So if there is no big damage coming on a dps, like the dot in Dawn etc, I like to keep it on myself yes. Also for the 3 mastery stacks from the talent and the “Regrowth also HOTS your lifebloom targets”. I’ve also heard the thing about lifebloom on yourself is bad, but imo it works out very good, keeps me safe so I can heal and it is easy to keep up ⭐️🌱
I’m glad to see people dying cause in my keys on those heavy aoe. It can be so stressful especially in pubs not sure if ppl will press defensive
@@jordannamauu7146 Ye, so on high keys everyone, including DPS, needs to use personal defensives on the big damage AOE’s etc. Otherwise they just die like that monk (with healthpot ready! 🥲). Not much you as a healer can do there (besides if you have ironbark up - and that’s only for 1 target 😅)
