They Wiped Us Twice and Then Rage Quit | Resto Druid Zero to Hero E5
Watching that first Nokhud Offensive back while editing was kind of funny, just watching people get wrecked by spell casts nobody even tried to interrupt. But at least the other two runs were really, really fun!

Our Hunter Was Not Having a Good Time on That Boss | Resto Druid Zero to Hero E4
zhlédnutí 4,8KPřed 14 hodinami
These new WeakAuras definitely helped me feel more comfortable healing Mythic dungeons, but I have a feeling they wouldn't do too much to save my raid healing. Though it could just be that LFR isn't a great environment for HoTs, since there's so little damage to actually heal in most fights.

I feel so bad about the warrior having such a horrible time, I hope he found something more fun to play than Mythic in WoW. I'm slowly but surely learning how to heal. I get caught with my pants down every so often and panic when everyone goes low, but I'm learning to deal with those situations as well as we go along and clear the different dungeons.

For being the "cleanest" Mythic run of Nokhud Offensive that I've done on Fortified, it's still pretty messy once you see how bad my routing is around the third boss with the Ohunas that do Rotting Wind.

yay, actually got like 3 or so iron barks off in a single run~ if heart of the wild isnt being used maybe the auto Frenzy would have greater value. this would kinda cheat death in those moments where you were low but didnt notice in time to heal back up for the next hit. 🤔
Good Job, been mostly playing Guardian, watching makes me want to play Resto more.
During the packs before tempest boss you can pick up the storm balls to increase your healing done. Works the same as during the boss fight, helps a lot especially on fortified weeks (:
Hey, great video! One question, how can I fly as druid in df?? Does I need a special success?
Players will be able to use fly with their normal flying mounts in the Dragon Isles with the achievement Dragon Isles Pathfinder, a series of eight achievements. These will unlock Dragon Isles flying for your entire account. These require some exploration and completing chapters of the Dragon Isles storyline.
This timed perfectly with my new resto druid. I keep doing the same "rookie" mistake when healing and im noticing i can almost count on the gameplay so far in this zero to hero as my own replay so i just watch threw and it has improved my gameplay a lot to the point where i got an 89%ilvl (on raid since dungeon isnt as accurate) on a raid and im healing an equivant amount without with a lower ivl (and set piece(s)) keep the series going as its a great way to teach a a new resto. Especially when it comes to weakauras so plz incule edits as i usually just imort a finshed one
Vid requires more Danie. Also, that head of yours is polished to perfection.
I give it the ol' spit shine, you know, _hawk_ _tuah_

Hehe, you are a legend m8, mentioning my comment 😁.
It was good info and I thought it was a good idea to clarify! (:
#doitforthemog I'm very glad you got your redemption NO run with a competent tank. The editing was incredible again this episode. Don't think I didn't catch the leaf rustle sounds in RLP, I'm glad those were back lol Also I feel honoured that my shitty little image got showcased, glad you liked it!
The Lumpy Boys pic was amazing, don't talk down to it, you took the time to make us all laugh, it was awesome :D

Hey what the Social Forestry Services don't know won't hurt them amirite
I think vortex is right there with them.
hey just wanted to say this with lifebloom, you want one on yourself always because it makes all of your hots tic faster, and then you put your second lifebloom on another target (i do whoever is squishier unless someone dropped in health). i used to do the same thing as you but i asked the druid discord what to do and they were really helpful with answering any questions i had
This is kinda inaccurate, always having LB on yourself is going to drain your mana so quickly because you are having to reapply your hots more often. Its better to have your LB on the tank and dps, or double dps. Only put LB on yourself when there are high periods of dmg going out where you need your hots to tick faster.
I've had mixed suggestions, others said that the increased Bloom chance was more worth it. I kinda do a bit of both I guess.
@@saffia757 your hots last the same amount of time but tick faster. more ticks equal more healing, more healing means more mana. plus you rarely use mana on a resto tbf. trees are cheap, lifebloom cheap, free regrowths are free
@@pluton7364 Telling someone who is new to resto to always keep LB on themselves is troll and a bad habit to fall into. There is no reason outside of high instances of dmg to have LB on yourself, also since we are always running verdancy, the blooms have great synergy. This has literally been the general rule in M+ for ages >.<
@@saffia757 with the talents you run you basically always wanna keep 1 on yourself and one on someone else. tanks are pretty good on their own, so you don't need to put it on them. but I'm not here to argue just saying what the high key pushers told me 🤷
Which healing addon is he using?
None, just Shadowed Unit Frames, my own WeakAuras and mouseover macros (:
the weakaura prodigy!
Just trying my best. If I can let myself think less, that is always a plus :D
A thing I did to simplify key bindings was I made conditional macros for damage/healing spells. Regrowth/wrath on the same button depending on friendly or hostile target or mouseover etc. I am also a tank trying my hand at healing 🙈
Bit late to the party - I only found you when you were in the last episodes of your BDK challenge. One thing I really like about your videos (and I found nobody else does it at that level of detail): You explain exactly what you are doing and why - which is great for someone trying to learn a spec and the little details that make or break a good player.
i startet healing again (on priest tho) as prep for TWW and i LOVE the Ice Lady Boss in halls haha its kinda fun to heal that boss
When blood DK needs healing then the DK is not good, its my opinion. I play myself blood dk and when i die its my own fault, i play on m 11+.
True, they're completely self sufficient, but I know I had moments where I ran out of things to use or wasn't prepped for the damage and really wished I had a Lifebloom and Rejuv on me :D
Wasn't the spin that got them. Monk got lowish and got hit by Earth Bolt which wasn't getting interrupted for whatever reason and the Warrior died because of Marked for Butchery and then took an Earth Bolt to the face while you were healing yourself from Earth Bolt not being interrupted lol. Crazy watching Earth Bolt spammed at will while 3 kicks are available. Only need one person for prio kick the rest could have rotated on Earth Bolt which was causing most of the problems from the looks of it.
Have you tried tree of life yet? You get lots of cdr on it with your trees and it makes the incarn proc from swiftrmend give a free tree~!
I'll have to try it at some point, Convoke has been less and less enjoyable as I keep going, especially now that I don't use it in cat form at all Now we have to name a fourth treeant from the Swiftmend proc!

The Tree Amigos.
Haven't play ascended but played the shit out of evolved.
I had like 3.5k hours in ASE, and I'm so hooked again, hahaha
I understand that Happy Tree friends reference, but I'd prefer not to, was never really my cup of tea lol Speaking of tea, I very much enjoyed the mana tea cameo 😃 This is one of my favourite series I think. You're knocking it out of the park with these videos recently!
I knew that you, if anyone, would enjoy the appearance :D
The tank war dosent know he can spell reflect the spell dot on the last boss of NO.
Ye, I don't think he reflected the tankbuster on the tornado boss either, but they did really well overall, I'd be happy to have them again!
Brain; NO: Incap, incap... the interrupt> than heals especially with like 4 of them stacked like that... X-X HoI: yeah, none of the DRs or trees or dispels or movement control could have saved them. 🙃 AV: DK tanks are often the go to option for being just fine with the heals dead on a boss so, not out side of the norm. Iron bark finally used once over several dungeons at the very end. overall, "better" healing consistency. those weak auras certainly have helped but maybe working in a "rotation" will help train the thought process to remember to use them.
I appreciate your videos man, you are what's keeping me keep tabs on retail at the moment. Ive been watching for so long now that this is one of my favorite series to look out for! Thank you for keeping the retail dream a live for me.
It's so sweet when Vlad calls me out like this for my LFR behaviour. I too enjoy a good LFR run for the transmog and need roll it - then ignore the whisper window. I feel fine. My transmogs are fire. I don't even feel bad. #Collector_life
*cries in 2 set*
when you cast wild growth the hot is going to be applied in a big area around the target you cast wild growth on. you can aim to try to effect more people with it. i often cast it at the boss too
at 29:40 when you do the storm boss, you didnt have any treants out. spamming regrowth with the treants out is some of the biggest hps you can do especially when you have the 4piece
I know, I just always happen to pick the wrong target, hahaha, should probably just aim it at bosses and call it a day, it defies instinct a bit :D
I know, I talk about it the entire episode, that I'm not using the lumpy bois enough :D
We are LITERALLY in a group together and doing keys..."I see how it is. Not going to watch my video huh?" - Definitely Not Dramatic Vlad
NAH IT'S FINE, it's whatever, don't even worry about it.
definitely not first
Definitely no congrats!
9 stacks of the stuff. cant help ya. or cant heal through that. or boss is starting to get hard/ push the limits. me as a bear: *makes bear noises while pointing to like 6-7 abilities that could have done something.* 🐻 I also dont speak what ever language that is but i think its actually still English. its hyper abbreviation chain. Pass the Blood lust to me on mammoth. is what i see. google translate though says > French: "no nonsense here, you give me a mammoth" which also seems to make less sense. o-o; but a general useful thing to have on any character is a basic trinket macro on the bar instead of the trinket itself so you dont ever have to worry about swapping the trinkets every time you get a new one. think it was #showtooltip /use 13 and #showtooltip /use 14
Vlad: "I just needed to..." and me thinking "you don't need to do anything, if people are dying with defensives up and/or standing in avoidable damage it's completely not your fault if they die. Yes, you can potentially save them, but never feel like it's 'your fault' when they're not doing anything to prevent their own demise themselves." As a healer main I know it's tough to separate yourself from it, and you do often feel like any death is your fault, but after a while you need to realise it just isn't your fault. Removes a lot of the stress once you come to terms with that.
Why didn't you convert humanity as you got it since it would have increased your resistance?
Hey, I´m one of the tanks in "high" gear queuing for +4s :D I´m in training, figuring out my chosen tank spec. Love to watch/listen to your videos while doing other things at home <3
24:00 Late to the party but Cause the priest is boosting the warlock And they fucked up an exploid that allows them to Q without the exp debuff from playing together with a level locked player on the warlock
crafting with wyrm crest is the worst decision you can make, you need wyrm to upgrade alot of heroic items, and if you craft with wyrm crests you pay duble the gold on craft and recfrat with aspects..... and duble the crafting mats, you are better off crafting embelishment without any crest its 502 ilvl.
If you're pushing for maxed out ilvl, sure, it's not a great idea, but if you're just trying to get 2500, it serve its purpose as I won't even recraft them with Aspects later on (:

Most resto druids don't run skull bash. You have to give up too much just to get it, and even if you do take it, using it is really awkward because you have to waste a global going into cat form before you can skull bash anyway, which just feels bad. You should really consider retaking Heart of the Wild. It's a significant boost to personal dps and you should be able to comfortably use it during most bosses.
heads up you can wild growth your target (enemies included) and it spreads from the target.
The warriors zugzug stopped zugzugging. :(
He will no more :(
vakosh also does fire damage =D
True! I forgot about Vakush, the bleh-bla-blugh
sorry thats it for me, i cant spend a single minute on this god awful website anymore, sorry about your viewcount though, but you will manage w/o me Jokes aside, I hope the guy is okay, that is copypasta worthy though lol I think you're starting to get the hang of it, that was some solid healing. Never thought I'd see the final boss in brackenhide become a heal check, but you handled that well. Really enjoying the serifs so far, looking forward to the next one!
*series, and I meant looking forward to the next video lol
Hahaha, almost sounded like you were peacing out from this series until the next one :D
90 min of Vlad in dungeons? YES PLEASE! Also the person at 50 min was French and wanted the BL at the elephant boss instead of the forge boi :)
More of that coming! Thanks for confirming the French, figured it was something to do with Bloodlust :D
If you're missing having a kick, you should totally take it! You're losing improved BS which wouldn't be relevant until the highest Tyran keys anyway. But there are multiple dungeons Rdruids talent into kick on the highest keys. Just make sure you make a macro with cat form (if you're not in it already).
Just Fyi the helmet enchant does not do fire damage for healers. But at least the weapon does shadowflame.
Oooh, dang! But yeah, totally forgot about Vakesh, Vakash, whatever it's called :D
Is Brackenhide really your favourite? I can't stand it lol. I'm also confused by what is good ilvl now as well. Not played retail since season 3
480-485 is what people start to do M+ with, 475 is comfy for M0, that's about it. 6+ key levels are where people expect you to have 500+ ilvl
Ah okay. Well my pala is around 500ish after a few M+ and an LFR. So I'm not as far behind as I though
Good to see that shiny bald head again. I do have a question about it. When it rains, does the rain bounce of or does it flow like a waterfall?
Also you can target a mob with Wild Growth and it will apply to your friends nearby
If you have a HOT on a tank before they start grouping, you won’t pull aggro. Only if you apply the HOTs while they group will you pull 👍
that is actually not really true but many people have that misunderstanding. Most HoTs will not make you enter combat if they heal somebody while you are out of combat, so you don't generate threat, that is true. But if you are in combat then every HP you heal will generate threat (and any overheal will not generate any threat)
The instant you get in to combat, any healing, regardless of when it was applied, will generate aggro.
