[00:01] started out today how far do you think they can make it in just 3 weeks if they had to learn everything on their own nobody there to hold their hand do you to achieve Keystone hero in just 3 weeks
[00:13] Mythic plus just too much for them to handle well that's what I wanted to prove today as I set out on my journey from becoming a complete noob in Mythic plus to becoming a keystone hero in as little as 3 weeks I'm partnering with
[00:26] not too long ago they published a video to go from hitting level 70 to timing Mythic 15s in just one month and while never done Mythic Keys before and honestly I hardly even know what a
[00:41] Mythic 15 is in fact a few weeks ago I learned that this is a vault and this place lets you craft gear now I guess so while I do know how to move my camera and what a rotation is I'm told I'm going to have to do a lot more than that
[00:55] this even more difficult I'm going to be playing a class I have literally no experience on Beast Mastery Hunter I'm classes in the game for Mythic plus so I'm not particularly excited to see how
[01:08] bad things can get but considering I play an Ellie Shaman and classic it's defensives anyway along with this I will be following all of the guys at skillcap two can join along and see exactly how
[01:21] Mythic ladder even just to start out though where does a new player begin after I hit level 70 it felt like I was hit with a sea of things I had to catch beginners guide that was published on skillcap a few months ago the first step
[01:34] to success is preparation which honestly is exactly where it feels like I need to start my build right now was just what they gave me when I logged in and my UI is well super basic in fact the only thing I did set up was my transmog don't
[01:48] I look sick I suppose it is possible if you're watching this video that you're which case I guess I get to be the teacher here for a second if you're a set up keybinds as well so that you're not clicking everything on your bars I'm
[02:02] clicking stuff on your bars isn't great it's inaccurate it forces you to look at ability at a time and that means that you can't be clicking other things then even sure what to keybind here's what worked for me for the longest time I use
[02:17] abilities in my rotation and then shift 1 through six for utility related stuff along with this I would also do control 1 through six and ALT 1 through six for both offensives and defensive cooldowns these work really well for a while but
[02:30] a lot of skillcap videos was that with these keybinds I'm still not using like up changing a ton of my keybinds to things like r q f c v z basically just
[02:42] everything around WD another thing I noticed immediately when watching this video was that I had a and d bound to turn instead of strafe so I immediately playing other games that if you have a bad setup you're honestly just making
[02:55] need to be so I really wanted to be thorough with documenting my Improvement video my setup is going to look completely different so you're definitely going to want to stick around in the beginner guide it also lets me
[03:07] easily accessible keybinds so I put my aspect of the turtle on R exhilaration on E and survival of the fittest on shift e for me these feel really next to my movement keys so if I'm in a panic I can quickly just press the
[03:20] button instinctively I also put my interrupt on F because I watched another said my interrupt should be on an easily accessible keybind without using a possible just watching this video more has made me realize how much of an
[03:33] because now they're telling me I should be comfortable using Mouse over and focus macros to interrupt as well so after realizing I have no idea how to set up a mouse over macro and doing a little bit of
[03:51] keybinds now it's time for add-ons I kid you not this is what I would say to be into retail every single time I think of playing this game I just think of how add-ons so I just avoid it I'm really hoping that skillcap has something that
[04:05] luckily this player video on their Mythic plus Channel details how to step so I definitely recommend checking that out I was basically able to autopilot the whole time and barely had to do any thinking along with that I was
[04:19] told to download dbm Omni CD and we oras the last one isn't super necessary but I around this way I could have everything in just one place on my screen rather for additional action bars my finished UI probably looks pretty gross to
[04:33] actually works really well I tried to group up my abilities in a way I can defensives my offensives my utility and then of course my standard rotation so that it's easy to remember I feel like this is a good place to start let me
[04:46] down below is this horrible is this good I have no idea as far as preparation I've been doing just passively is gearing up using the ketchup mechanics this in the future and this content is irrelevant I guess May next expansion or
[05:00] pretty good at providing catch-up mechanics so just refer to whatever is with all that said I'm being told the final thing I need to do in preparation is buy flasks and combat potions apparently health potions are really
[05:13] important in Mythic plus so I'll stock up on those and grab a few flasks did I mention I have no gold this wasn't too big of a deal for grabbing potions I did end up just getting the weaker ones but I imagine I won't be buying any gear at
[05:25] like it made sense for me to buy the Uber expensive stuff right now since I'm but once I'm doing more difficult stuff I imagine it's going to be a lot more consumables all right so I've gone down
[05:37] the wow checklist I did my add-ons I set up my UI I got gear I bought potions I changed my talents my character looks so cool what else is there left to do oh yeah I got to learn how to play my class luckily at skill capap they have class
[05:49] the specs that helps you figure out the stuff that actually matters for your class for Beast Mastery actually they had two specific courses one for basic Techniques I watched watch the first one and it was really cool to me how rather
[06:01] they actually broke down mistakes that new BM Hunters make and how to fix them tells me how to do an AOE opener and common mistakes that I might make that I definitely making some of these mistakes and it was actually really helpful to
[06:15] not only be told what to do but also be told what not to do there's also a range eventually that I know will give me a ton of information since I just assume same fundamentals site subscriptions also include both PVE and PVP content as
[06:29] some of the courses for hunters on the PVP side eventually just to see if there all right though I am finally all set up time to dip my toe into the water progression alone just finding groups from group finder because otherwise it
[06:42] get carried it's not exactly going to be the most interesting but being able to groups and climbing up difficulty levels sounds a lot more intriguing I started Dungeons and trying to get used to my new key binds since on normal dungeon
[06:56] you can kind of get away with with anything which lets you practice your rotation a bit more before really diving into anything serious I personally was surrounding Mythic plus so I wanted to make sure that I was as prepared as
[07:10] this video right here suggests that I do some research for each dungeon to get an idea of what the layout looks like and what effects can kill me that's why I into Discord with a bunch of friends who were playing and watching them all run a
[07:24] cool way for me to actually see the dungeon and prepare for it before really thinking about it it does feel like I'm not all players will have access to these same resources this is why I
[07:36] players looking to learn dungeons beforehand in one of skill Cap's videos dungeon tools is a great way to see The Season's dungeon layout and view the here's a recording of me going through black or cold I just clicked on each mob
[07:50] Notes for how I should likely react to each one while this was tedious to do it for the dungeon even more than just watching my friends enough though let's the groupfinder it didn't take me long to get invited to a 2 key for a tall
[08:05] desar I could not be more prepared it was my time to blast as the timer counted down and the dungeon started our tank took off I'm going crazy shooting all but it didn't take me too long to realize our first
[08:24] we're going do we so it turns out I didn't really pay attention to the route that they took I've got to say Mythic twos are absolutely hilarious I was so worried about holding people back at my first
[08:36] watching all these skill cap videos researching my class and setting up all researching my class and setting up all my add-ons I was way
[08:48] the dungeon this was a good wake up call as well though because I realized that even though I'm new because I did all of this research I'm also kind of the we got to the totem boss I knew from watching my friends that all the totems
[09:01] apparently nobody else got the memo something I learned for playing valerin it's not just enough for you to know what to do if you really want to go anywhere you also need to be able to help others in your group as well this
[09:14] tried to help assign people to each totem it wasn't perfect but we were able to do it right this time and take down the boss on our second attempt the just not enough for us to kill the boss we also have to do the dungeon during
[09:28] the designated time period perod to complete the challenge and at this rate minutes left to kill the last two bosses which is more than enough time for a two key but at the rate this was going if we continue to struggle it's possible that
[09:41] I wasn't going to time my first Mythic plus we couldn't let that happened of the dungeon although it wasn't the prettiest run we were able to get her done and officially complete my very first Mythic plus I know to experienced
[09:54] gained a lot of confidence from this I was so nervous to enter my first dungeon actually that scary I've seen on Reddit before people having the same worry as so much to learn and it seems like there's a lot at stake when you add the
[10:08] timer a lot of people just are super afraid to even try I hope this can at that there's really nothing to be scared of as for myself I made a lot of focusing on applying my Hunter's Mark and I had a few good defensive uses and
[10:21] comfortable enough with my rotation there's still things I'm doing horribly I've achieved the rank of good enough and I'm feeling much less scared rolling into my next key over the course of the next week my goal is to just do all of
[10:34] learn the layout and boss fights for each one my first key was a black Rook do which was the dungeon I did my research on earlier it didn't go great couldn't find the dungeon it seemed pretty obvious that I probably should
[10:47] have left this one for what it's worth though it wasn't even really his fault died to the stairs boss oh and by the way rebinding my e and q key like skill cap recommended earlier seemed to make this entire stairs Gauntlet completely
[11:00] in a row and I didn't get hit by these Boulders a single time so if you're yourself definitely give this a shot over the course of the next few days I continue to run different keys and just experience each dungeon ever blooms
[11:13] thickets merisons I'm really starting to feel like I'm getting the hang of things feel like I'm getting the hang of things flap it up flap it up flap it up so cute know sounds crazy but I genuinely believe this is the fastest way to get
[11:26] good at anything I've ran around 40 keys at this moment I know I know that probably sounds like a lot but if you want to get good at something you should do it a lot I'm not great at wow but I coach valerant for a living and I can't
[11:38] I've asked to get coaching but they've only played like 10 matches you can only eventually you're going to have to actually practice it's just the honest wanted to get good at keys I'd have to play a lot so I continued to slowly
[11:55] and more comfortable with my class I decided to watch the advanced p Mastery skill cap to just get a better idea of things I could be missing out on helping me was this video that called out my exhilaration usage I actually
[12:08] top Hunters were using this over 16 times a dungeon sometimes that's kind of cooldown is reduced with Focus spent so when I'm just mashing buttons on trash pretty crucial since Hunters are so squishy so basically any AOE damage
[12:24] results in me dying you can definitely do research on stuff like this yourself this is that it saves me time so that I can run more dungeons instead of booting up Warcraft logs looking for top 100 players looking at their cast and as a
[12:37] own I could just be told by some of the best players in the game what to do and what not to do and use my extra time to actually play the game over the next few fives to sevens eventually new mechanics started to get introduced there's these
[12:51] what they were I thought they were literally just a boss mechanic I'm the wow Community can be though because my group was pretty patient about it these when they come out which honestly felt really cool like they really had no
[13:06] business making this trap animation look so sick someone of the blizzard team at that trap animation cooler and honestly hats off to them I actually picked up mostly because I'm a range class one of the skill cap videos told me to zoom out
[13:19] things around me so basically whenever the incorpor was spawn I could just place my Trapper right below their spawn location on some fights this really sucks because because mobs or in a ricon's case the boss will just eat the
[13:33] traps but for the most part this worked pretty well I have heard that Hunters I'm kind of seeing some of their pitfalls it does feel like classes that can just Target the mob and CC it would be far better than having to rely on
[13:45] them being isolated like this but still I'm making it work at becomes a bigger issue later on though I worked my way up the keys doing a bunch of 13s and 14s eventually I built my key up to a 15 gacon I was pretty nervous
[13:59] this point so it didn't really make sense for me to keep doing 13s I figured I might as well just dive in past the 14 I know that a new AIX gets added so now corporals we'll also have to worry about sanguine pools spawning below our
[14:12] not only heal the enemies but they will also damage my allies standing in them first week because I don't have to deal with these things as much since they class but it definitely ramps up the difficulty a bit more I've been told
[14:26] bit more difficult so jumping into this I wasn't quite sure how this would go if the Keystone Master achievement for just completing a 15 key this is one of my hero I've already failed on time once in garron's Fall though and that was on a
[14:40] seven key this dungeon has a couple of difficult parts to get through that can easily disant all a group the first of which is the second boss whose mechanics are a bit confusing we'll talk about that more later but this is where most
[14:52] what really did Us in though is how the final boss Works in this fight you final boss Works in this fight you really need to protect chromy abilities so that we can share some of the
[15:07] damage if we don't all stack up though or we don't heal chromy she dies and if she dies the boss will instantly kill us all that's kind of the difficulty in this fight because if I can't keep myself alive I certainly can't keep her
[15:21] have struggled because even though the fight itself isn't that difficult if they're doing it can instantly wipe the group there's actually a whole guide on place in depth so I made sure to watch that beforehand and it taught me
[15:35] doing it on a 15 is going to be significantly more difficult than the seven I failed so this definitely isn't going to be easy but I've built up to to really shy away now as the doors
[15:47] us I prepared for our tank to make a massive pull like I saw during my first run of this place but in this case he didn't he just pulled the first three mobs very slowly since these dungeons are timed it felt really weird to see
[16:00] about how this would go normally at the start of the dungeon you'll see the tank will pop their offensive cool Downs often times even blood lust and burst everything down at the start of the run I was really confused at first but then
[16:12] mind our tank called for our Rogue to use Shrout of concealment and we just there's a certain amount of enemies that you need to kill in the dungeon to actually complete it but for this specific dungeon the mob count is way
[16:25] higher than you need for 100% completion being able to skip right past these guys my last attempt we definitely are going to need we progressed over towards the first boss and I started out with a slightly scuffed opener due to cooldowns
[16:37] I used my Barb shot into beastial wrath Barb shot again death chalk room kill Barb shot to refresh and then securing my third stack of frenzy I popped Call of the Wild in my trinket I'm not sure if this was the
[16:50] seems like my number one priority on single Target should be to get my frenzy Stacks up as fast as possible so that's basically my main goal with this opener during the season where you'll get this debuff and you want to drop it off
[17:02] try to conserve space I kind of muck this up the first time but you'll notice save as much space as possible oh and you also want to not stand in whatever a rope did that got him one shot from this point the fight was pretty easy though I
[17:16] kill command on cool down we were able to get this boss down and I actually was able to top damage which really doesn't matter all that much but it always feels to clear all this trash around the boss before he spawns I'm pretty glad I did
[17:29] I said before it's easy to get lost in these dungeons if you don't really know fights even if one player messes up it can actually get other members in the group killed and that's actually what you see happens at this
[17:41] attempt this boss has four zones that rotate around him that kind of look like pizza slices one of them will slow the boss's mechanics and the other one will to be in the slow field to evade the projectile orbs that she sends out but
[17:54] step into the faster area to get dispelled you do this because it sends players inside of it and if you're in the slow field it'll do multiple ticks of damage and uh don't move like I did here you'll notice when it goes fast it
[18:09] gone two players will get this Mark so generally you want to dispel one player first pop people up and then dispel the other player this is also a good time to use defensives if you have them however when it's dispelled in the slow field it
[18:21] resulting in players taking multiple ticks of damage more than likely getting the thing that ends up killing me I proba could have saved myself if I something that should be happening during the fight anyway luckily our tank
[18:33] was a gigachad and basically sold the boss from 10% but it's chaotic fights like this that a little bit of research definitely goes a long way our tank also idiot for running with the current another stupid thing that I was doing
[18:45] circle so I had like double the circumference to cover anyway we are enter the ice tunnel though I started to finally experienced something that I've Hunter's lack of survivability I've heard people mention that Hunters are
[18:57] of tools to survive during Mythic plus I didn't really feel it until we pulled both of these dragons at once and I died again and again and again I felt like I was doing literally everything I could to survive these mobs
[19:11] do in this situation do I just stay dead do I try to keep running back in every even feel like it was worth it for me to be there for the small amount of damage nearly two whole minutes on this pole alone due to all the
[19:36] easier but like man I felt like I was pressing all of my buttons and it just boss we were able to get this guy down pretty easily but as the fight went on the timer on our dungeons started to get lower and lower after a few more trash
[19:49] make it to the final boss with 12 minutes left but as you guys know this while we still had 12 minutes to work with that could easily run out in just two to three wipes but that wouldn't happen with these Giga Chads right the
[20:03] legendary shroud of concealment solo kill God Squad right okay [ __ ] we went from 12 minutes to kill this boss down to just 3 minutes people just won't stack up for chromy damage so
[20:19] just won't stack up for chromy damage so she keeps hard you just stand on chomy when she gets targeted by the barrage but if one literally just all died what's even more annoying is that
[20:33] doesn't heal chromy afterwards she's just going to die anyway and since I'm playing a hunter I have no way to heal chromy myself so I'm kind of just at the minutes left so if we die this time we won't be able to get back in time to
[20:45] beat the timer this was our last chance the only thing that we have going for us is that we have lust this B so it is still possible but we need to protect chomy on our very last attempt we were able to get this boss down just barely
[20:57] beating the timer and securing myself the achievement of Keystone
[21:11] tough that was a tough one this achievement is kind of misleading technically Keystone Master is obtained at 2,000 rating for the by doing a 15 key which I've been told are not the same thing as you could see
[21:24] my rating is only at300 right now but I have proven myself that I'm capable of progress and I'm proud of what I've done in the first few days as the week wrapped up my goal was to get all of these dungeons done on a 15 or 16 key
[21:36] really solid week 2 I ended the week at 1600 rating which put me in a good place to hit Keystone master in week 2 something you need to know about Mythic affixes that impact the dungeons there are two specific affixes that impact
[21:50] your rating as well though that's tyrannical and fortified one of these and the other one makes the bosses stronger basically your rating will be that you've done for the season in both tyrannical and fortified so since I
[22:03] rating for another week I wanted to get it as high as possible so that moving into tyranical week I was in a good spot to hit 2,000 rating since my rating will increase with every new dungeon that I did on tyranical this week basically my
[22:15] goal was just to do all of the dungeons first it's basically just free rating keys right away to boost your IO I started out the week by just clearing every dungeon on round a 13 or 14 once again this put me as kind of an expert
[22:28] a run I ended up in for a thron of Tides 13 I was running this dungeon at 400 a.m. and honestly it still makes me laugh it was just a guild of friends whose Guild name is not appropriate to say in this video that invited me to
[22:41] join their Discord these guys were just straight chilling that's a physical impossibility that you gain brain CS with playing with this yeah more likely
[22:53] you lost brain cells say aren't you sure you just lost them and you're just thinking you gangster you're an Euphoria from losing them I figured this run could go one of two ways we just absolutely shred
[23:06] through the dungeon with no issue at all or we were going to be here for a while turns out we were going to be here for a while with how difficult this dungeon definitely the way to play the game when you're in Discord you can communicate
[23:18] plans and help each other out a lot more easily it's also just a lot more fun and use the uses again let's try to turn around and knock these back if you and then uh we're going have to move boss probably over here cuz you're going
[23:31] a defensive yep I'm there thanks for the not to do keys with my friends that I hadn't already done alone the higher keys that I got the more it just felt silly wow is a social game you're meant
[23:45] to play it with people if you're feeling left out in the game and want to push much I recommend finding a guild to play with personally myself I have a large convince me to try retail and playing with them is far more enjoyable than
[23:58] reason why finding a group to play with though is super nice and that has to do people complain about on Reddit and that's gatekeeping as I progressed notice that it was becoming increasingly more annoying to get into groups I'm
[24:11] sure everyone has CED solo and felt this sometimes it would take me up to 10 disband after we wipe on the first boss it's incredibly annoying too because you're probably better then there's two solutions that I've heard for
[24:24] here but stick around for week three because I came up with a third solu for gatekeeping that made finding groups infinitely easier the first two groups eliminates gatekeeping almost entirely if you have a group of friends
[24:36] weight not only will they run with you they will be glad to run with you so guys can build up your own routes and strats for each dungeon and experience played together you also can dodge potentially bad experiences this way
[24:50] three people for 30 minutes for literally no reason I definitely noticed bickering than normal and playing with friends remove at least most of this if though you can always create your own groups doing your own keys this worked
[25:05] for it when you're the group lead you can play however you like and now you abusing the additional rating that I was able to get from tyrannical week you'll rank of Keystone master I still had 500 rating to go
[25:20] completed on tyrannical there wasn't really going to be any more free rating everything from this point as I wrapped up tyranical week one once again trying on each dungeon I started to encounter gatekeeping more and more and since I
[25:33] grouping with my friends that really only left me with the option to do my climbing because normally if your goal is to gain rating you want to Target The lowest score on if I have an 18 galron fall doing a 19 isn't going to boost my
[25:47] rating much but if I have a 13 throw of Tides doing a 19 of that will give me a lot more rating on top of that I'm new to Mythic plus so I don't even know what to look for when I'm starting a group for example this healer I got left
[25:59] because one of our DPS was weaker than expected now something tells me this guy makes me wonder if there was a way I could have known that this group was bad that's why when I was finishing up week two I started to realize I had to adapt
[26:12] my Approach I had already done all of these dungeons on 15s and fortified so higher than that there's just no way I'd be able to increase my rating on top of groups that I was getting at 15s just weren't cutting it and we continued to
[26:26] for dungeons over and over not getting more annoying I really only had a couple of weeks to complete this Challenge and if I wasn't able to get into any groups it was going to become very difficult
[26:38] catch a flight home for the holidays that's when I came across a group of players listed in groupfinder who gave me an idea two words 3,000 main they're trust their low item level in rating because their main characters are really
[26:53] know if there's actually a way that you can confirm this but for some some reason just seeing the 3,000 main message made me feel a little bit intimidated it made me think oh no I'm not good enough for that party it was at
[27:07] that moment that feeling that made me realize this was the perfect strategy to combat gatekeeping I started signing up for every single group telling them I was 3,000 rated on my main character I'm not 3,000 rated I hardly even know what
[27:19] I'm doing but they don't know that I have no idea what I'm doing but I know what's going to happen if I mess up or don't do enough damage are they going to it this strategy didn't get me instantly invited to every single group in my
[27:33] goodness did I feel pretentious like oh look at me I'm 3,000 but it definitely got me invited to groups much faster rather than spending 10 to 15 minutes it would take like 2 to 3 minutes to get invited officially making me climb much
[27:46] perfect but rarely was I the one getting blamed which definitely was reassuring about this 19 ever Bloon that I was running our tank in this dungeon was pulling super slow and it started to an everyone in our group rightfully so as
[28:00] probably wouldn't have timed it at this pace but I feel like they just turned up started screaming at him and just being really rude and he ended up leaving the dungeon because of it I saw this stuff all the time in
[28:13] of this interaction it was really frustrating because I was just caught in this guy but now my whole run was screwed because these guys just couldn't could have finished the run faster got on Loot and even gained a little bit of
[28:27] this guy I'm not saying that he's right for leaving or that they're wrong for just a little bit of respect and empathy can go a long way finally though as I slowly climbed up I arrived at 2,490 rating at this point I had only
[28:41] this was the best Dungeon for me to finish my climb I got myself into an 18 were able to time it I was pretty sure I'd gain the 10 rating that I needed as dungeon and I started applying everything that I had learned from skill
[28:55] often I really should be using my cool Downs on trash I've definitely gotten figured out how I can space my cool Downs on trash while still having them particular instance there aren't really any bosses in the first like 8 minutes
[29:08] by lusting and blowing all of your coold Downs because of this you'll notice on even over our Demon Hunter in the group you'll also see that I'm panicking to got all messed up before the dungeon due to a DC basically I had set up a macro
[29:23] my mouse cursor so that way I don't have to click every time I want to place a super helpful in other Dungeons and I'm kind of annoyed that I didn't have those started applying other things I had learned from skill cap such as
[29:36] preactivating my Beast cleave before add spawn so that I can instantly start use a gcd this let me handedly pull ahead and encounter moving through the rest of the dungeon we were able to execute
[29:50] dungeon we were able to execute perfectly on the second and third people don't realize that a debuff gets applied when these small ads die around damage that you take by a Tong so that when they cast swell you will basically
[30:06] two final Elementals while we had 12 stacks of the debuff and it basically wiped the whole group just a small hiccup but all we have to do now is kill the final boss and oh God not again all right all we have to do is kill the
[30:20] final boss now and we did it Keystone Noob to Keystone hero in just a little bit over two weeks that some of the things that I did in this video such as playing as much as I
[30:33] did maybe just won't work for everyone but I got to say that using skill cap for me as I knew exactly all the things I needed to do to midax my class to the experts like this so that you can avoid all of the common mistakes that new
[30:46] time in the long run that is time that what's even better is that skill cap offers a 500 rating guarantee meaning using their site you'll get your money back no questions asked for me this is a
[31:00] to climb a Mythic plus especially if you're looking to learn multiple classes of their worldclass PVP courses that you can gain double value in Solo Shuffle as today if you guys enjoyed the video be
