I aim to create high level, yet easy to understand content for healers in M+ keystones for current World of Warcraft and into the new Shadowlands expansion. If you have any feedback, questions, or ideas for new videos - I'd love to hear it in the comments.
0:00 Intro
0:43 Don't release
2:01 You can't always play for score
3:38 You make more mistakes than you think
5:21 The in-between time is important
6:50 Damage matters
9:13 Be willing to experiment
11:28 Enjoy your time on the bench
it’s crazy that people are still joining keys without knowing the added boss mechanics and what affixes do. they think it’s just a harder heroic...
THE THINK IZEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ MAN
What happened to tanks spinning mobs so we can hit their backs? 2021 the age of tanks pulling mobs JUST outside of ground puddles so we have to eat their frontal cone
what u do do is is.. im tryna break myself of that habit so i focus on it so much lolol
Fuck raider io man , that thing , ppl worship that damn add on , idiots even need score to join a plus 10 key , not even for high keys , garbage
The fact that "don't release" had to take a slot tells a lot about how dumb people are. The number of times people release when I'm 7 seconds through my mass rez
The best thing about mythic plus is that if I get kicked, I know a new person can’t enter the dungeon so everyone else can’t finish with just 4 people anyways so we sort of all got kicked.
The way you say “growl”, jeebus KappaPride
Also, don't invite ANYONE from Ragnaros to your PUG. Let those monkeys fend for themselves.
Stop saying "the thing is is," or "the problem is is," I appreciated the tips and you're very knowledgeable. But i couldnt finish the video cause im in a bad mood and it irritated me even more. lol.
Im always on the bench :/
What kind of bullshit was that speech about being good to be on bench? dude, stfu, ofc it's horrible, try to play as main that is not meta
What addons do you use for healing?
I agreed with mostly everything except when you said stay away from people who only do keys that give them score. Nobody is playing a game to waste time on something that wont progress them. 40 minutes just for something that doesnt benefit you makes 0 sense. + you won't be making friends in pug groups so it still doesnt matter to do them
Nobody is going to take mythic + serious, because M+ is not a rewarding loot distribution. I went from M+4 to M+13 without a single drop.
very informative and good video! allthought i do have a question: how do you deal with tyrannical weeks? for most part it feels like people refuse to do dungeons on tyrannical weeks, especielly when there is really nasty affixes like necrotic and bolstering. Is there a way to motivate people to do keys in despite of this? I was pushing a bit in BFA (only got to +19s done with pugs, didnt have a dedicated team) and even then for example most people werent too hyped about trying to push during tyrannical weeks. any advice or thoughts on this?
8.stop blaming the healer, if you forced your healer to use not needed CDS, its YOUR fault if the team wipe
Just discovered this video and your channel and it all makes sense honestly, the acceptance of the bench is something a lot of newer players won’t understand and to a point that’s a good thing, nothing was worse in vanilla/tbc than sitting on the bench as my hunter unable to leave or log off and I just had to sit outside waiting to be called up, no playing alts nothing, the one thing I will never miss about vanilla
Can someone please provide me a list of which addons he is using here? Specifically the bars above the mobs, and the unit frames for healing?
What addons and WA are you using?
i agree on many points of this video, except the number 2... i mean u can do a dungeon u already did just for fun or to farm a piace of gear but apart from that i always try to do new staff but i only queque for dungeons if i know i can tank it, i would never try a key that i'm not 100% sure i can handle. The thing is that if u don't play dh rn u are not allowed to tank in pug and so if me and a dh has the same rio they will pick him and so his score will go higher and so they will keep taking him... it's very frustrating... Today i spent 2 hors in oribos trying to go into a 17 with 2 17s done and all the 16s... so fun :)
I ran a 16 with you last year and it was insane how much damage you were doing as the healer it hella carried us lmao
corruptions were dope
i dont understand the people that join a +5 and dont even know the boss fights. no shame
Mythic is trash. Neckbeard tryhards den
Great tips man this is my first xpac doing mythic+ I started WoW during legion have not done 10’s yet got 8’s and 9’s plan to step it up soon I started on 2’s and moved up slowly on every dungeon
LoL I said avoid Azralon player. They are the dumbest player of all and will always rage quit and leave your key. Same goes for rag and Illidan server. They want people who are above ilvl to carry them. 😄🤣😂😆😄
Even tho all my friends play wow a'd we re always chillin on discord, most of the time i play solo mythic + like it doesnt really bother to play with new people everytime i think it's so much fun. Good video +1 sub 😁
ppl leave after 1 wipe
Last night was my first key (we didn't clear) I learned just how little damage I do 😂 but hey the guild was ok with it being a learning run
What UI do you use ?
The cooldown UI in the center
Growls advice on M+: just do the thing
"Enjoy ur time on the bench" nope thats not my cup of tea.
As funny as it might sound I think I make less mistake than I think I do, I am decently new to the game, I’ve only started playing since shadowlands launch, I am a healer main, and since I’m new, when every time someone dies I always think it’s my fault. I always apologizes. Until some of my guild member started telling me that it’s those people’s fault for prioritizing dps over dodging ability......
In "Damage matters" i notice you tried too much to explain it, I think a good way to say it is basicly: if the objective die faster, it won't be able to kill you. It literally happened to me yesterday doing DOE with the gnomes, after doing it with literally 3 groups and all of them failing on killing them until someone left (we couldn't stun the female gnome when casting the bombs), we finnally did it when I decide to use my last drums because none of us had hero, so instead of actually stop her casting we just killed her. So they cannot kill you if they're dead :)
Have you always pugged to push your score ? And do you think it’s easier or harder as a healer to get into high keys compared to dps?
Perma benched :(
So you’re telling me I’m wrong for playing Surv hunter? 😔
Nice video
Im coming back after a 6 year break. Thanks for this video.
Hi! I liked what you said about the damage and how it all matters. As a resto shaman, I feel as if I could be doing more damage but Im not certain how to approach it. Usually, I try to keep flame shock, lava burst, and chain lightning in the rotation as much possible. Any tips? Is there a significant difference in the potential damage output from different healer specs? Say, holy paladin vs resto shaman?
Liked and subscribed, great attitude
Yo very healthy video man! I really appreciate you view about the game! Improving, having fun, learning and not pointing fingers! Thank you!
Here's a tip. Don't have alts. Keep that io stacked up on one character
@Kyle true. but the avg person would get further if they only did mythic + on one character instead of several
Why not it’s fun to play other classes
Xd
if you pug a key and ask if you shall release because you do not know the dungeon, you basically disband the group :/
"but the thing is is.."
Need to put myself out of my comfort zone? Got it....going to try new talents instead of getting advice from icy veins.
I feel like the experimenting thing applies more if you have a fixed group, ruining some random's key as a tank by pulling way too much or weird pulls doesn't help anyone
The thing is is
im now to the game, how do i even start playing mythic dungeons? I only see heroic and normal dungeons
you have to manually make a group and list it or search for M-0 in custom groups u will get a +2 key after u complete a m-0 GL its a steep learning curve from heroic
PvE players, the biggest gate keeping nerds of all time.
While I find this very helpful, none of this matters if your main source of keys is through dungeon finder and you can't really make progress. Just yesterday I spent 4 hours looking at dungeon finder and applying to almost all +10-11 groups without getting into any of them. I play meta dps and my score should be more than enough for average group leader (I avoided those elitist kind of groups since they are always a waste of time). And it wasn't even that I would get instant declined like last week, but there is so many dps players trying to find a group that unless you are super high ilvl or score, it's nearly impossible to even get in.
Thanks for these principles/advice. What I would like to know is the name of the object underneath (and/or surrounding) your druid healers that shows "wild growth" in the center of it? It looks cool -- does it take much effort?
Its a weakaura package, you can find more info from this vid here: notown.info/two/video/ta2Aa6OSibdnlKs.html
8th rule, don't pull if you are not the tank. That said, I'm a tank and it is often frustrating having some players which think we can go faster and pull. When I wait a few seconds as a tank, this is with the intention to wait that a cd for a proper pull is coming up again. E.g pulling as a port pala out having my shield of avenger on cd is a very bad idea, especially in larger groups. same for other cds. 9th rule, please look around not pulling accidentally patrol groups that are not on the list. This often causes a wipe or one or more players need to use cds that are planned for another purpose. So, I think sometimes it's better to wipe than having cds for the next tyrannical boss. What do you think?
See thumbnail and think it says "IQ". "Wow 7000 IQ, this guy must be really smart."
A great number of us have been playing since 2005 and evolved with the game. It’s a time investment. If you want high io, you have to sacrifice time and money. I love my guild. We have pushed keys and I’ve gotten in good pug groups too. I just don’t have all day to play like when I was 16. Thanks for helping the new guys out.
Hazelnuttygames makes short and sweet (3-4 mins) mythic dungeon guides and it's been an invaluable tool. Having a general idea of what the mechanics are is..key.
low key dont really need to watch this but know dmg matters...
Is there a mythic guild that focuses on it?
Very good video. Very educational. Thank you for taking the time to make this. It sure helped a lot. As a tank player, myself, having to take the second part of BFA off for business reasons, coming back to the game felt a bit overwhelming. It's videos and content like this that I like consuming to catch up to speed and also recommend to the people I start playing with to get them up to speed and see who is serious and who is not.
Trying to get better at the game instead of mindlessly doing things. I appreciate your video.
I love what you're doing. :) The more people getting into serious M+, the better for everyone who likes M+.
I hate M+.... It's one of the worst thing that happened to WOW... Too many narcissistic and toxic people out there.
enjoy your time on the bench resonated a lot with me was pushing myself for no reason at the times ty
what's the addon for the circle around your cursor? (gcd)
My cursor WA is available here: wago.io/cbJBOwkmy
I can’t get past the heavy mouth breathing and crackling of the sinuses. Maybe blow your nose, use some Flonase before recording a video.
the thing is is...
How often does releasing put you at a graveyard in mythic+? I mostly get spawned at a previous boss kill or the beginning of the dungeon (which sometimes would be too far away). I still very much enjoyed a video actually giving advice on improving!
When I use the word "graveyard" I'm referring to wherever you respawn, whether its the beginning or where a boss dies. From what I can tell its mostly random, some bosses update your respawn and others don't. It takes a bit of knowledge to know where this is going to happen
I hate healing mythic + But guildies always drag me to them lol. Tanks just get hit like trucks, stresses me out.
my M+ experience: refresh the list for 100+ times, try to get into random keys with way better gear than i need to complete the key.... get rejected, for hrs.... srsly... i have 186 GS and get rejected for +5 keys, because these idiot community just looks for RIO and i am no person that grinds 20+ keys for my RIO, i learn the dungeons in 1-2 tries, and play them pretty ok but nobody cares...
Yup. Hard to get io up when noone will take you to raise it to begin with...
Same bro lol, I literally get declined at 192ilvl for 5s
trying hard to learn tank, just started a week or so into shadowlands for first time in forever. first time actually pushing content with a focused mind i think too. thanks man.
The bench comment is really good. Especially as someone who really only plays with guildies.
What is that "Do you want to release your spirit?" addon or WA?
Its a weakaura you can find here: wago.io/a9QDHhkCJ
I once asked for a res because i know the run is far and ressing is faster. I got called a lazy jerk by the healer. Funny stuff.
Help each other be kind and have fun.
@yumytv can you shere me your weakauras for holy paladin? They are awesome
The thing is is...
Resto druid here, can you explain why you're not using Efflorescence during some of these clips? I thought that plus Lifebloom and Rejuv always needed to be on the tank. as I was typing this you said "Maybe I didnt have Efflorescence on the ground" as an example of bad play NVM lol
Can you please tell me how you sorted your UI?
The problem isis isis that you dont need to say isis, cause really all it isis isis an excuse to not say "The problem is, however".
Just came back to WoW after a long absence and Jesus what a mess the game is in. Tanks having to run from trash packs? Getting turned down for runs because of a score on a website even though I'm geared? The insane amount of daily and weekly garbage I have to do just to keep up? And the toxicity has gone off the bloody charts. The game has gone downhill in a major way. I play games to relax and have a good time, not to try and beat a timer and get yelled at constantly. I tank because I want to be the guy going toe to toe with the big ass monster, not so I can run for my life from trash mobs. And for the love of god just because something takes forever doesn't mean its fun. Torghast is torture, I'm in no danger at all but it takes hours to finish.
Dear Tanks PLEASE take your healers mana into consideration! We dont mind being dragged through the mythic, but we gotta drink sometimes! js lol
Fantastic video! Thank you!
THanks for your work, could I ask what you are using on the left hand side of enemy nameplates please? It's tracking enemy cast icons I think?
the competitive part of this game is way to gatekept..
So you're telling me you think people didn't know to not release when they're starting mythic +? I thought there was going to be relevant information in here, not tips so basic that this video is just a waste of harddrive space... >
you want me to play M+ seriously... well i do what i want so
"The thing is, is" once you hear it you can't unhear it. Thanks for the video; very informative
How do you get a circle around your pointer?
is is is is is is is isssssssss
so its the transmog right?
Play for the fun not for a 3rd party score... I dont even know why blizzard didnt implemented a mythic+ score system. I guess they just dont give a damn about improving the game anymore.
I think for a lot of people interested in trying out M+ the idea of being timed stresses them out.
@Greg its normal to feel that way, the best thing to do is to find a group of friends/guildies who feel the same way and go about keys at your own pace, even if you don't time them you can improve together!
I am 1:20 into the video and you're already wrong. 70% of the time you should just release. Mythic+ timer doesn't wait for a rez. release and get your ass back to the group asap. Only -don't- if you are unsure the path will be clear. You also certainly -can- only play for score.
Pugging m+ is dead in shadowlands good luck within a few months finding a tank willing to run you through a m+15 for zero reward. Once most tanks are 213 I'll you wont find any to pug m+ with.
Holy crap, they squished the characters!? My Druid was 91 😭45 now
1st one is wrong most of time u should release bcs respawn on most of bosses after u kill it is
I've never done these because I've never done these. Can't get a group without already knowing how.
Releasing is a habit I got over the years, because while lvl'ing in dungeons, people who don't release are frown upon and seen as lazy, so I often see myself release 0.0000000000000000000000000001 seconds after I die and just facepalm because that was stupid.
What do you use to record yourself?
1:33 😂😂
