  • I am so sorry, but I just couldn't handle it anymore, Fire Mage is just not fun for me and it's making the videos less and less fun for both me and the community, so I decided to give up on the 0 to 3000 series. I did round out the Tyrannical week with +20s and share the last 4 timed runs I do.
    I hope you did enjoy the series while it lasted, the struggles, the wrong spell names, the wasted Hot Streaks, the wipes and the bit of blasting I managed to do every now and again.
    The next video will be sometime next week, depending on how long it will take me to edit it, like I mentioned in the video, it's going to be a long one and a one-off, but I think it'll be a lot of fun for both me and anyone willing to watch!
    Join the DNV Community on Discord: / discord
    There you can also find my WeakAuras, Addons and UI.
    Rules for the series:
    1. I can't group with anyone I know
    2. I can't stay in a group after completing a dungeon
    3. I can send myself gold once I'm 70, but can't buy BoE's from the raid
    4. I have to get all the portals
    5. I have to hit 3000 Mythic+ rating

    I had a great time watching all of these episodes of the fire mage but if you aren’t going to be having fun then I agree it’s time to move onto a class you enjoy more! I’ll keep watching and I’m sure everybody else will too! Can’t wait to see what the next series is!

    • @Definitely_Not_Vlad
      @Definitely_Not_Vlad  Před 4 měsíci +3

      So happy to see people are full of understanding, genuinely got a bit choked up reading how just want me to have a good time. Thank you!

    GGs, you broke 2.8k at least, which used to be your goal, so no worries. It's always important to make sure you avoid burn(hehe)out.
    Looking forward to the special video and I really appreciated the triple cameo!
    The outros are only for the cool people 😎

    • @Definitely_Not_Vlad
      @Definitely_Not_Vlad  Před 4 měsíci

    Great decision and a more than respectable series. Love watching you play and how you think through these series. especially when the class is clicking for you. Looking forward to your next video and I can't wait to watch you learn a new spec that fits your style.

    • @Definitely_Not_Vlad
      @Definitely_Not_Vlad  Před 4 měsíci

      Here's to hoping I click with the next pick, I'm excited to give 3k another go on a new character after the special video coming soon (:

    • @Definitely_Not_Vlad
      @Definitely_Not_Vlad  Před 3 měsíci +2

      Was and always will be transparent. At the end of the day, if I don't have fun, the vids won't be fun, simple as that (:

  • @AsIanasitgets
    @AsIanasitgets Před 4 měsíci +3

    I agree with you! I enjoyed this series a lot, but if you're not having fun I don't see why you should continue. Looking forward to that next video ❤

    • @Definitely_Not_Vlad
      @Definitely_Not_Vlad  Před 4 měsíci

      I'm glad you enjoyed it regardless, makes me feel better about how I performed!
      Also happy to hear you're excited about the one-off video, I've been working my ass off on it and I'm hoping everyone enjoys it!

    @bullitt_gaming Před 4 měsíci +1

    Thank you for the shout out, @Definitely_Not_Vlad - it’s bittersweet that it came on the last Fire Mage video, but I’m most appreciative. I will absolutely continue watching your channel, and support you 100%. If you’re not having fun, then you have to do whatever it takes to change that. At the end of the day, we’re here to watch you have fun - and live vicariously through you (that’s me, I’m not great at the game and it’s fun for me watching you have fun lol).

    • @Definitely_Not_Vlad
      @Definitely_Not_Vlad  Před 4 měsíci +1

      I did feel a little bad about it, but didn't want to keep you waiting. On the bright side, it's on an almost 2 hour long video with some fun runs and edits!
      I'll do my best to make the next series a blast and not a drag like this one (:

  • @zackimus
    @zackimus Před 4 měsíci +5

    • @Definitely_Not_Vlad
      @Definitely_Not_Vlad  Před 4 měsíci +1

      I tried my best to muster some silliness and energy for this last one, hyped myself up and make sure I give the Fire Mage a decent goodbye, happy to hear you enjoyed it!

    Would love to see you play blood dk sometime!

      @Definitely_Not_Vlad  Před 4 měsíci

      So happy to hear that, hope you'll enjoy whatever comes next, even I don't know for sure!
      Blood DK was a blast for the little bit I was playing it, might just have to come around to it at some point in a series down the line (:

    i know i mentioned that i wasnt quite enjoying the video format in the last video but watching you play and learn is always fun to watch ... i might not have completely enjoyed the format but i have loved the videos, im glad you are hanging up the fire mage boots if its something you aren't enjoying , i mean thats what we all play this game for isnt it? very excited to see the next series and hope you enjoy making it :)

  • @scottwilliams2569
    @scottwilliams2569 Před 4 měsíci +1

    20s on everything is basically what you set out for as your original goal, so I think you still accomplished something! Excited to see what your next video is.

    • @Definitely_Not_Vlad
      @Definitely_Not_Vlad  Před 4 měsíci

      Yeah, back in the dudu series, when I thought all 20s timed would be 2800, only to be faced with the fact that it was a good 70 rating short, hahaha
      I'm glad to hear you're excited about the next video. I cannot wait to have it done, been working my ass off for it and I really hope people enjoy it (:

  • @VicarInATutu7974
    @VicarInATutu7974 Před 4 měsíci +1

    I agree and support your decision. As much fun as these are to watch, it's more fun when you're having fun! I've never been able to finish leveling a mage, just because of how unfun I find it. Looking forward to the new content!

    • @Definitely_Not_Vlad
      @Definitely_Not_Vlad  Před 4 měsíci

      Thanks for that, genuinely appreciate it. Hopefully I mesh much better with the next thing I try! Also hoping the one-off video is super fun for everyone (:

    Sad to hear that, we (talking on behalf of many of us here) had fun watching you try at least. Been playing for looooooooooong time, and got to say i HATE fire mage too, started frost, never got to anything else magewise. Keep on having fun anyway, Mr Definetly not a fire mage.

  • @handro33
    @handro33 Před 4 měsíci +1

    You may say you stink, but you're still killing what I'm doing.....I did a fire mage to follow your journey and I was very discouraged too.

    • @Definitely_Not_Vlad
      @Definitely_Not_Vlad  Před 4 měsíci

      It's really punishing, that's how it feels. Any mistake before or during Combustion just instantly tanks all of the damage you can do. I don't think I like playing specs that operate like that :D

  • @SkippyTheBeerCan
    @SkippyTheBeerCan Před 4 měsíci +1

    You do what makes you happy, or at least don’t do something that gets you down. I like your style of videos either way, I’ll continue on watching.

    I was very excited to watch you play fire mage. I decided to level up one as well, and during the leveling, I fell out of love with it.

    • @Definitely_Not_Vlad
      @Definitely_Not_Vlad  Před 4 měsíci

      Honestly, there's a lot of quirks with it that just make it exceedingly punishing. And leveling also feels poopy unless you're really tryharding, while other specs in the game can literally use two buttons and absolutely destroy the leveling dungeons

  • @TheChaosx1

    @_d0ser Před 4 měsíci

    Sometimes you're just playing the wrong class or spec it happens. I will say you inspired me to start a series of my own for a zero to hero. I haven't played really for years (in any serious capacity mostly just log in for weekly mog runs for a month or two at the start of expansion before quitting) so I think I want to come back and try something new like this. Except I want to try it for raiding. From new character, no friends, no guild, and level and find a group to do at least AotC with (probably for first raid of war within since current content is just being farmed for GDKP). Thanks for the inspiration.

  • @Muppet17
    @Muppet17 Před 4 měsíci

    Your ability to pick up a spec, learn it and play it to the level you do is amazing. I think I speak for many of your subscribers when I say, fun is the important factor - for your health and your channels. We got you no matter what, eager to see what you decide on next; maybe pick something that YOU want to and not something we decide :)

    • @Definitely_Not_Vlad
      @Definitely_Not_Vlad  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Thank you so much for the kind words! I do appreciate it a lot. (:
      I think it depends on whether the next series after this one-off video is the Couple to 3k series or just a solo series. For the Couple to 3k, we'll likely be picking whatever we think we can make work while still being new _and_ fun (:

  • @SkepticalKnight

      @Definitely_Not_Vlad  Před 4 měsíci

      Might have to make a few more like this, we'll see! It was time consuming, but with this style of editing it's a lot easier to get a longer runtime with not as much editing!

    • @Definitely_Not_Vlad
      @Definitely_Not_Vlad  Před 4 měsíci

      I must find the optimal salt to fun ratio then :P

      @Definitely_Not_Vlad  Před 4 měsíci

      Can't see myself trying ranged again for a _while_, but I can confirm Shadow Priest is super satisfying to play, tried it a bit in Season 2 and it was pretty fun, but had the same issue of underperforming (:

  • @felipeborsari6950
    @felipeborsari6950 Před 4 měsíci +1

    Hey, your start to the series did want to make me want to play fire mage (and i always wanted to try to play a ranged dps) but I'm feeling more and more that it was your charisma and editing style that made me want to play it and not the playstyle (that I do not apreciate) so I would much rather watch videos where you enjoy yourself than you having to struggle to play. So keep it up and I'm excited for what's next!

    • @Definitely_Not_Vlad

    • @Definitely_Not_Vlad
      @Definitely_Not_Vlad  Před 4 měsíci

      That's a fair point, I get caught up in my head trying to make sure the community gets what it asks for, thinking I could deliver just about anything, but this series was definitely a reality check that I cannot perform on anything, not at a level I think is worth showcasing at least (:

    • @ThiccDylf
      @ThiccDylf Před 4 měsíci

      @@Definitely_Not_Vlad I feel you were performing more than enough to showcase that you picked up a caster that you have never played and brough it to the level of 2800 alone without a preset team to run through. Go through and watch your journey, i can tell you would get upset about your dps not being enough but look at the other things you contribute that others wouldn't when they needed to. That being your utility. You didn't just mindlessly spam damage out and ignore things that could hinder your team. You played a build you liked and were more comfortable with, and that is okay! I run the same build you did, and play more utility because it does matter. I've now hit a baseline of +18 just before my 1 month mark of playing my first MMO with keybinds EVER! Just from watching your videos, learning from them and enjoying myself. I tried the meta builds to sweat and get the highest dps but I wasn't comfortable either and i did not enjoy it in the slightest. So don't let anyone, not even yourself, tell you that you aren't playing good enough to showcase something. Your content is fun to watch, is engaging and SUPER easy to learn from. Keep doing what you do and I cannot wait for the new video you plan to release! Especially if you have fun with it!

  • @ani5
    @ani5 Před 4 měsíci +1

    While I would want to tell you not to give up I also don't want you to forces yourself to not have fun. If you ever try a caster again, Frost has a lot similar rotation. I've been maining frost since I started playing in legion and I find it a lot more fun then fire and arcane. I find it gives me more time to thank and use my cc and utilities and I feel less of a glass cannon.
    But I am glad you are focusing on fun more then finishing a video as that is most important. I can't wait for the next video, it sounds so fun!!

    • @Definitely_Not_Vlad
      @Definitely_Not_Vlad  Před 4 měsíci +1

      I might have to try Frost at some point just for the fun of it, without recording or anything, it always intrigued me, felt a lot more straightforward with more consistent damage, rather than being an all-or-nothing thing like Combustion damage windows (:
      I'm glad to hear you're excited for the special video, I think it's going to be amazing, hope the hard work pays off and makes for a fun watch!

  • @Tamorak
    @Tamorak Před 4 měsíci

    I think a lot of people were noticing the issues you were having specifically with the fire mage as soon as you called out that you SHOULD be playing one build, but because of external factors and the tank moving things out of the flamestrike it felt bad, so you were going to play a different build.
    I feel that, and a lot of people don't like Fire/Elemental/Destro/DK's for the same exact reason. There's a lot of grinding whenever you're doing keystones. You would have done great with the flamestrike build in 60-70% of the keys, but it's the 30-40% where the key is going -fine- and you walk away feeling like you didn't do much is what sticks. You're going to have the same exact problem with DK because I keep seeing that recommended and it's a thought. The mobs HAVE to be in the DnD for your Oblits to cleave, you'll play better in a key while you're learning it but do worse because of tank movement. Just listening to your commentary, I think the core of your issue is you felt like you were going forward and backward with learning the fire mage, not exactly that you hated the fire mage itself. You changed your build because it wasn't being consistent, then you weren't performing where you should and it lead you to being frustrated.
    If you're looking for a less popular class that doesn't have those issues, I'd say Arms Warrior for next challenge. They just lack the utility, but to be fair you're not going to find many DPS that can content with the utility that your previous Ret or Enhance brought. If you want to retry the ranged series, MM hunter also fits that bill of not being common. Shadow Priest or Boomie would be a good go to if you want to retry the caster. If you want to retry mage at some point, you should try Arcane because Frost has a lot of the same issues; if the tank moves things out of your blizzard, you get less FO resets, and you get less instant casts and it feels bad.
    Either way good series, there's a lot of specs that are out there and not every playstyle is going to be fun. You being able to take this and apply commentary to why you didn't like it was great. IMO, you should do a round table and find others that do the challenge and talk about what you liked/didn't like about the various different specs/roles that those have done the challenge on.

    Just wondering... have you thought about trying Arcane or Frost? I know it's a Fire Mage push but if you're not enjoying Fire, I don't think anyone would mind you playing a different spec. Would be fun to see you learn those and you already have a good gear set

    • @Definitely_Not_Vlad
      @Definitely_Not_Vlad  Před 4 měsíci

      I feel it would be unfair to people that voted for Fire in the poll, but also, I think it's just caster in general that I'm not vibing with, so I figured I'd just end it. The video is pretty conclusive for the Mage character so I'll just do the one-off video I announced and then another series after it most likely. (:

      The rotation isn't extremely hard, it can be rough during certain affixes where you have to spend globals to combat them, but the bigger issue is that if your tanks don't play around you, you won't get much value :(

    • @Definitely_Not_Vlad
      @Definitely_Not_Vlad  Před 4 měsíci

      I don't think I'd enjoying pushing that hard. I'm actively throwing any time I commentate, and playing without commentary feels like a sure way to alienate people coming for the commentary as part of the videos, so I can't do that unfortunately. Besides, I personally don't think I'm a good enough healer to push title. (:

    Fire mage is tough, man. Used to be my main for a couple patches. Its just so much more difficult to pull numbers on this spec than every other spec in the game. Its just not suitable for normal (17-23) pug keys in my opinion. I honestly wish more people watched this and stopped trying to force playing a fire mage only to be carried by other dps due to severe underperformance. People need to understand that just because its the rank 1 S tier spec this season for high keys, it doesnt necessarily translate to weeklys.

    I felt like something was off the last episodes. Like you aint having much fun on the character. Your vibe was not the same on the mage somehow.

    • @Definitely_Not_Vlad
      @Definitely_Not_Vlad  Před 4 měsíci

      It was starting to feel pretty bad. I think I did myself a disservice of not showing the keys that fail and where I get flamed (pun somewhat intended) for my lackluster DPS.

    @ani5 Před 4 měsíci +1

    I also wanted to say you need to not be so hard on yourself! DPS doesn't mean anything. I noticed you really beat yourself up after not getting super high dps. Fire Mage is very complicated as well and some dps are very simple so ofc their rotation will give more dps. Just try not to beat yourself down so much. You can't always be the best dps but your dps does matter.

    • @Definitely_Not_Vlad
      @Definitely_Not_Vlad  Před 4 měsíci +1

      That's a fair point, and there's more than just my performance that's affecting the DPS, so rationally I shouldn't be upset about it, but it just feels bad when I can go on any of my other DPS characters and absolutely _destroy_ mobs and bosses alike, hahaha

      I think I would have maybe made it work with Frost, at least I would have been able to perform better, but who knows, maybe I'd have butchered that too. I think it would have been unfair to everyone who voted Fire in the poll for me to just go Frost in the last, hardest bit.

    Mage is God comp too. Sure it’s hard but it’s so rewarding dude. Once you figure out what you’re doing, you’ll really see how OP fire mage is especially on Tyranical week. I mean imagine doing meh aoe but then pumping 2-4x the other dps on boss fight. It feels so good

    • @Kswiss11
      @Kswiss11 Před 4 měsíci

      Ps it does still pump in aoe, to be fair. You’re playing around the key level that ignite might not feel super great. But the higher the key levels the more your damage will be reflected better

    • @Kswiss11
      @Kswiss11 Před 4 měsíci

      To be fair you already get the gist of firemage. The only thing you’re struggling on which you probably know. Is not using your fire starter enough. You want to use things that will ensure you’re in combusting longest. So you don’t want to burn through your instant heating up guaranteed. Especially tyrannical bosses. You never really wanna combust off pull. You wanna combust when their hp is below 90%. I’m very Sadge you’re giving up I was really rooting for you to play fire mage! You’re like so close to really mastering the class!! 😢
