# WoW Classic Mage Speedrun Practice

> Source: [WoW Classic Mage Speedrun Practice](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYOhkcROrvM)

## Summary

This video is a live practice session for a World of Warcraft Classic mage speedrun, focusing on AoE leveling strategies from levels 20-30. The streamer experiments with pull routes, discusses talent choices, and analyzes the efficiency of various grinding spots.

### Key Points

- **Stream Setup and Goals** [02:08] — The streamer has been awake for 12 hours and plans a 5-hour stream. He woke up with new routing ideas for levels 25-26.
- **Race to Level 10** [07:00] — Discussion about which class reaches level 10 fastest: Paladin is considered the quickest.
- **Best Warrior Race for PvP** [10:46] — Gnome is the best PvP race for warrior due to Escape Artist. The benefit of other races is minimal.
- **Need for Arctic Reach Talent** [13:05] — Arctic Reach is crucial for AoE pulls to safely group mobs from a distance.
- **Tower Pull Difficulty** [18:43] — The tower is risky due to mana-burning mobs; even top speedrunners like Voschi have died there.
- **One-Pull Strategy Attempt** [28:01] — Attempting to pull all mobs in an area plus Fangor in one pull to maximize efficiency.
- **Patrol Caster Problem** [31:11] — A patrol with a caster mob disrupts the pull; planning to open with Polymorph on that mob.
- **Successful Pull Execution** [35:44] — A near-perfect pull is achieved, but more potions and bandages are needed for consistency.
- **Skipping Champions Quest** [41:41] — The Champions quest is deemed not viable due to low XP efficiency and out-of-the-way location.
- **Level 28 Blizzard Milestone** [45:11] — Level 28 is important because it unlocks the new rank of Blizzard, significantly improving AoE farming.
- **Imp AE vs Frost AoE** [58:43] — Imp AE is high DPS but less safe without Permafrost and Cone of Cold; Frost is more reliable.
- **Wetlands vs Duskwood Route** [01:01:11] — Wetlands AoE questing is more reliable with Cone of Cold, but Duskwood may be better with practice.
- **Handling Resist on Mobs** [01:28:02] — When a mob resists Nova, options include cone kiting, Polymorph (loses XP), or rushing Blizzard with blink.
- **Addiction to AoE Farming** [01:33:33] — AoE farming is addictive because it provides rapid progress in a short time.
- **Arctic Reach Talent Value** [01:59:41] — Arctic Reach is essential for safer pulls and recovering from mistakes; skipping it increases failure chance.
- **Night Elf Jump Advantage** [02:10:52] — Night Elf can jump up a certain ledge, saving about 10 seconds; Gnome cannot, affecting route choice.
- **Classic Plus Level Race Excitement** [02:31:55] — The streamer hopes Classic Plus drops without beta or data mining, forcing players to choose classes based on gut feeling.
- **XP Per Hour Analysis** [02:56:35] — The streamer questions whether a pull is worth it by comparing XP per hour; if above 65k, it's worth.
- **Current Run Status** [03:02:43] — The character has died ~50 times; the run is now pure practice, not competitive speedrunning.
- **Learning from Record Mage** [03:15:37] — Watching the world record mage's VOD to learn pull techniques and optimize routes.
- **Arcane Explosion at Level 30** [04:02:59] — At level 30, new rank of Arcane Explosion makes AE kiting viable; before 30 it's not worth it.
- **Quest Turn-in Strategy** [04:06:41] — Saving quest turn-ins for level 28-29 to hit 30 faster is a good idea.

### Conclusion

The streamer focuses on practicing AoE pulls and refining routes for a mage speedrun, emphasizing the importance of talents like Arctic Reach and learning from top runners. The run is currently a learning experience with many deaths, but the goal is to optimize for a future competitive attempt.

## Transcript

That's just up instead of right out of the shower.
I have not been playing ascension. I've been playing classic League.
I've been up for like 12 hours. Today is a short stream. Just got breakfast with Liz. Dinner, I Just got breakfast with Liz. Dinner, I suppose you could call it. Um,
so thinking about doing like a five hour at it. I actually woke up from a dead sleep.
And I think I cooked some new routing for my 25 to 26. for my 25 to 26. We'll see.
Yo, what's up, boss? Mr. Zomboid himself.
there's a Bill Weather's radio from Spotify,
Should have just been a one to the 60 to 70 bod TBC launch day.
the possibility of things that could happen there for me.
Warrior. They all have their benefits.
they gank me. I just lo to a different they gank me. I just lo to a different character. these runs. For the most part, this is just, you know, the the most opportune
location to do it because there's no people, Tommy or K Super. Who's reaching 1 to 10 first?
most likely out of practice, but I've never seen K Super run pali. And I feel like Pi hits Pali or Shaman. What's the fastest one to 10? I think What's the fastest one to 10? I think it's Pali.
Look up um TBC launch stream. TBC launch stream. Probably find it.
100%. For both PvP and PvE, Torren is like one of those things that you pick if you're trying to be like you pick if you're trying to be like the most defensive tank in the world.
But you just don't need to do that. It's so overkill. so overkill. And the benefit is so minor, too. going to go alliance, then you should be playing gnome. Gnome is by far the best
playing gnome. Gnome is by far the best PvP race for warrior by far. Not even remotely close to anything else. So, if you're going to do that, definitely go gnome. Yo, the guu gang. Think Don, boys,
thank you for the raid, Guz. Hope you guys had a wonderful time there. Today we're doing a little bit of um shenanigans on the gnome speedrun.
shenanigans on the gnome speedrun. No gnome gnome magus.
long-term going for a world record shortterm shortterm um to put a little route in kind of figure this stuff out.
This is very bad. This is very, very bad.
cast. Okay, we're just going to res reset this.
Wait, that patrol has a caster in it. That's gnarly.
I need Arctic Reach. That would be such a godsend.
I swear I saw them go away. They do a loop.
pull. I think it would be good to learn. The thing that I need to do first is I need to have EVO for sure. It's an EVO pull.
so I can reshape. Then I need to [ __ ] the world. I also need to be concerned about this patrol.
Let's try again. So that's the dark caster. So that's the dark caster. You know, this is kind of far.
Okay, that's half of it. Add these in. I want to retag these mobs. Now we go for another one.
Now I need the Nova now that the sheep's breaking.
Oh my goodness. There's a second guy now. You know what? We can do this. We can [ __ ] kite it.
I can tank the hit. I'm tanking this [ __ ] Oh my god, another mob. We got him. Okay, so definitely if I want to do Okay, so definitely if I want to do that,
caster on the road for sure. kill the caster on the road, then go for the gigapole because they patrol too often. I thought that I would have time,
but man, you don't. But it to be honest, the the double cocker is it's worth
Yeah. So, that's that's definitely the go-to. or we could just go to the tower and call it call it a call it a wrap on that
one. But I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure that I could do it next pull flawlessly.
Maybe we'll do tower and then with everything respawned then I'll go again.
Now my gear is breaking so it's a little rough. testing for softcore. It's a softcore run.
the top of the tower. because this tower is gnarly gnarly gnarly gnarly. Yeah, but I need to get to the top and
there's like a bunch of mana burning mobs and [ __ ] You can only really pull like two or three and AoE them with AE. It's very risky, too. A lot of people died to this. Even the speedrunners like on the the record run Voschi did, he
on the the record run Voschi did, he died here in this tower. died here in this tower. It's hard. What is your opinion on having OSRS style service for classic plus?
So, I'm trying to figure out here if I can't just res at the very top and like nova loot.
away. I'm actually concerned that I I need to die in the tower like here. need to die in the tower like here. Let's see.
Yeah, definitely. I'm definitely too far away. Okay, we can do this. We can do this. We can do this easily. Ready?
No way. I'm in range. What? How is that dog in range of me?
I want to try this until I get it though. burning. This is the experimentation stream. This is the experimentation stream. Yeah.
Okay. I Yes, guys. The dog was mana burning me.
What if you just commit, you res, you evo, like you do this. You do healing pot, nova, flame strike, arcane explosion
explosion. So, you're going to be the mana burns So, you're going to be the mana burns hit, you health pot, you evo two ticks. Like, you you could even do like a snap nova.
cooldowns and just zug them the [ __ ] down. That might be the play. Now, my gear is broken, so I can't test that, but I can test doing the other
version. I think that might end up being safer I think that might end up being safer if anything. don't kill, die and then take resic.
I think killing them is ideal. Do should I just try it? anything? You think so?
10 minutes to waste doing travel. Yeah, I could do I could do um
I don't know actually. It wouldn't be perfect. stairs because that would be easy. And then you can just zug them. Commit a
health pot. Damn guys, it's thundering here. I haven't heard a thunderstorm for like like a proper thunderstorm for like two like a proper thunderstorm for like two years.
yeah, yeah. We could just res right here. Looks like
normally? You think I can get loss without
I I mean this is terrible execution and it still works.
Well, that that works. I don't have any runes of teleportation.
teleportation step afterwards. So, that makes sense. Well, I want to go out anyways. You think I can just
Oh, that's chill. That's chill.
today. So, what I'm trying to do now is I'm going to try to do a one pull
plus Fangor. I believe I can do it.
the [ __ ] [ __ ] of the century here for this one. Now I am, but that's a problem for later, you know.
Nah. Nah, no. It resists.
to do I want to practice that pull because I think that that's realistic to do. It's not like abnormally crazy, honestly. Like it looks like it's a lot, but as soon as the mobs are grouped like this, it's fine. There's not a problem
at all. Um, the goal is to do two pulls, finish both quests, die here out of mana, and then,
you know, do the thing up there So, I just need to practice doing this. The execution is hard, honestly. I think it's something that like I almost need to map out. And I also got owned because
there's a patrol in here that has a caster mob in it. And that is abnormal. For real. For real. I think I'm going to open with a poly on this mob here. And then I'm going to do Yes, this is
And then I'm going to do Yes, this is it. This is it. I'm going to do pull packs into Fangor counter spell Nova Sheep. the dark weaver. Let's try this.
a It's There's promise there. There's promise there. I need a better angle. promise there. I need a better angle. And I pulled too many mobs.
Okay, maybe we combine
It almost makes me want to just do an extendo instead.
one. Cuz I want the patrol to simulate it. But ideally, there's no to simulate it. But ideally, there's no caster mob in the patrol.
I've got it. This pulls it. This is it. Chad. Let him cook. Chad. Let him cook. Let him cook.
Keep it under wraps. We're adding mobs to this ball. What We're adding mobs to this ball. What could possibly go wrong, guys?
no. Okay. No. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's the one. That's the one. That's the one. I need more potions. And I need bandages, by the way. Oh my god. How
sick would it be if I had [ __ ] linen bandages on this bad boy? Just a couple, bandages on this bad boy? Just a couple, you know, just like heal ADHP.
The timing of this is a little weird. I need
during the first nova such that all of the mobs are converging on me when the nova breaks. That way I can use blink to position them appropriately as appropriately as possible. Take some hits.
time. We'll see. Cloud Bells
That's it. That's it. But the patrol [ __ ] me.
That's more practice. There's more practice, but it's there. don't have potions and my gear is broken.
A janky kill all the patrols first. Yeah, possibly.
You know what? There's a vendor I could use there to repair.
ends up happening. When you push your limits, the nips come When you push your limits, the nips come out. limits. You need to die more.
You need to die more. The nips. Yeah, my chest broke.
Oh, really? Sheepy? Is that crazy? That That's crazy. Also,
Great to meet you. Keep your feet on the ground.
like the doing the champions. I think I'm just going to skip it. I don't really think it's viable just simply because like
that I have XP. >> Hello could buy a rune of TP and Dusk dark dark sh though,
dark sh though, so that's fine.
So I told you do it at 21. There's no way it's good.
That's interesting. That's one way to do it. because you would have to basically cut some
you would have to basically cut some quest or multiple quests from red or quest or multiple quests from red or from wetlands or dark from wetlands or dark shire
options suck. Like that quest I don't think that that quest is that good just because of how far out of the way it is. And I don't think it really gives any items, does it? So there's no like incentive outside of XP. Why not do it
now at 26? I could try to do it at 26 now and just add it in. But I'm thinking about it in the terms But I'm thinking about it in the terms of like how much XP do I have standing
of like how much XP do I have standing in terms of duskwood quests until level 28? Because at level 28, don't you start doing wargans? And then I imagine wargans are better than anything. So if I have really really
good standing XP in Duskwood and I'm not planning to cut any of it, that's the reason why I'd be like unsure about doing uh champions.
the big thing is level 28 for Blizzard, right?
you could just not do those pulls though. You could just do the the lower level pulls. I don't know. >> It might not be better though just doing >> It might not be better though just doing lower level stuff.
Does the current route do more stuff in Red Ridge?
and my warrior speedruns, like going on the mountain, going on the like going on the mountain, going on the the wall and then jumping down with him for orc crusher. Always so good.
Yeah, Blade, that sounds way too involved for me. to copy paste from my other guide to the mage guide
and just like slot in pieces. It's not that bad. Like I added all all these steps. I actually need to make sure that this is a little bit fixed because I've already done this. I mean it's fine to do that actually.
I mean, honestly, the fact that you can do that is does does make gold pretty useless, right? Because you just make the money from a couple of ZF runs,
I've never figured out because I I haven't put time into ZF is the scarab because I always just did it at level 60. 60. So, it's it's different.
here. Melnam ugly. I don't think it is. I think Melnome is is good in its own right. You know,
>> Can I help you? >> Yeah, that's my current play time.
I should not pull like that. Maybe from over there.
Bro, I think cuz they're fast. I got leeway.
I don't know why I'm trying to save this. What am I doing? Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Be safe for my [ __ ] self, bro.
Winnable right there. That's a winnable pull.
too. Like, there's so much for me to be doing on the way here. If I If I do that pull successfully, I could then drink walk here, do a pull, walk here, do a pull, and then maybe cut across here. Cut
and then maybe cut across here. Cut across. Go behind. We'll act like we'll pretend we did that pull correctly.
just blizzard them down. I don't need I don't need to try to kite them.
The whole like imp AE thing you're casting you you're going to struggle pulling a lot of mobs. Like yeah, it's probably lot of mobs. Like yeah, it's probably better if you're able to
like you could pull like five mobs consistently and like AE them down. It's pretty high DPS, but I would be concerned about the safety and reliability of doing those pulls without
perafrost and cone of gold. Mobs are really quick. Yeah, you're you're think it's some old tech, bro.
Oh, never mind. There's a caster there. I don't want to [ __ ] with it. this morning, my head,
my head, I was toying with the idea of doing like
I'm trying to think it out. some way of doing 24 25 duskwood this section that I'm doing because I don't need to be 27 to do this because I don't need to be 27 to do this instead of the one that I did
in wetlands and then coming back at 26 because I and then coming back at 26 because I think that the wetlands AoE questing is think that the wetlands AoE questing is much more reliable with con of gold.
But at the same time, I think if I just practice the poles a little bit better, the wetlands isn't that bad. So, I like ended up scrapping it. like you're going to have to play somewhere with no [ __ ] and
you're on wetlands and maybe just do wetlands.
That is so sad. I missed Nova on those two.
bite does damage over time. That's kind of gnarly.
There's two different categories there. One is like a fresh world first. One is like a fresh world first. The other is like a category speedrun first. He still has world first
He still has world first and he was the fastest mage on classic, but he's not the fastest in recorded speedruns. speedruns. That's what this is.
these these like extend pulls. I feel like they're not doing them the correct way for these mobs because the density is so bad. I I almost need to do like regroup, nova, cone of cold, wait 3
regroup, nova, cone of cold, wait 3 seconds. AE instead of Nova because they just stayed too far behind. It's not good.
because they're not grouped enough for a [ __ ] Then I line him up. Do a blink here.
easier cuz there were like six mobs right next to each other for whatever reason. The one before maybe should have just been a break between pulls.
sappers. Goblin gets TP to winter spring. Gnome gets TP to Gadgetan and spring. Gnome gets TP to Gadgetan and different trinkets.
between blizzies. I'm going have to like single target that guy down after.
I'm just doing this like because the mobs are here.
Then we pull far. Should be good. Just in time.
>> I don't know why it's just not on the thing. >> It's not on my map for some reason. tripped me out.
Oh, I reworked it so that I would do AoE pulls on the way. I remember
As long as I hit most of them, it's fine.
I don't even need to be looting these, I guess, for a book and maybe wool cloth.
the actual run on hardcore. No, I do too many death skips. I'm just committing I'm just committing to doing a softcore run.
hardcore run. But for now, it's just like
>> ZFGY in hardcore. You can. It's just that's another thing. You can. It's just that's another thing. It's slower. The run takes a lot longer. And it's all just It's still technically ZF.
you do it on the hardcore server, how is it not sunlet?
Is that like a recent change? Because I've done it.
Sunla because you have another person in your party.
Who's to say? You can just reset normally otherwise.
was killing. >> Looking for something specific?
the way. We'll
>> Hey there. See you later. Have a good one.
>> Yeah, I'm kind of in the same boat burning like because because you have to run on a main server. It is a little weird to do like that's one of the reasons I don't like doing actual hardcore server speedruns.
of them. Even the old servers have people leveling, people leveling, right? I didn't even think about that.
this mob. I I wouldn't normally be killing this. Oh, oops. But killing this. Oh, oops. But I It pulled and I don't want to just
I'm not used to Dusquid. It's been way too long. I just want to get in, dude. Smiles are everywhere.
dark weavers? Shadow Weavers. It's probably just fireballing. Just feels bad.
I could do there's three. I don't have the most recent rank of frostbolt.
Where? How are you going to leash five of these? Now, I I think what you could do, which is sketchy as [ __ ] but we could try it right here. No, there's absolutely no way. I'm going to die doing this.
You could pull like two normal mobs, pull one, pull it to another, counter spell the far guy, AE nuke down before you die. But look how hard their shadow bolts hit. I can't tank them for that long. This is one guy.
Doesn't look no hit viable. It's fine. with a shadow protection potion in case you do get hit.
is like it's a resistor. it's a resistor. What about scorching?
Scorch because of the push back into Fireball. because of the push back into Fireball. Look at that. Just Scorch. Fire blast. Ah, the push got pushed back.
Guys, I didn't get three gooey spiders. Six gooey spider legs.
alternative to Murlocs? I don't know. You could you could quest. doing like a stranglethorn veil 36. Um,
which feels bad. Like as a as like originally a hunter player.
And I know that's like the whole point of doing the maze run, but it always feels so good to AoE quest. Imagine if you could just complete the quest in like one pull and then you turn
it in and you get like three times the amount of XP you got for the pull. So, I like AoE questing a lot. And so, I'm skewed to it sometimes where I'll I'll try to do like fit extra quests in. I'm going try pulling from up here.
That one Morgan being in the back [ __ ] me.
Bro, this one Wargan. You're [ __ ] me, bro.
kidding me? I tried so hard for that pole.
it's a good pull. Yeah, I got owned because I I didn't Nova the last mobs and then and then I could have gone.
was number one I missed my nova but number two missing the nova there isn't as bad as it seems truly truly I can go position myself in such a way
that at the end of my nova I drop a fat [ __ ] on all the mobs plus the one that I [ __ ] on all the mobs plus the one that I missed and then I backpedal.
I was so focused on my work that I wasn't listening and here I could drop a fat [ __ ] and I was like okay >> I hear her like what the room
the room anyways that's like that would have saved the pole I just am out of practice all the AP would have done it that's what if you ever have one mob
resist and you don't want to snap nova which snap nova is a is a good option and you don't want to snap nova. Cocking is like the best answer alternative. You can do a lot of things. You can sheep it.
Poly him in the group. Uh you could Poly him in the group. Uh you could Yeah, but then you lose the XP.
acceptable option for speedr runninging is you transfer to [ __ ] kite. Yeah, I think that that's the best answer. And if you ever get a resist
because poly Yeah, you can poly. Then you're down 60 mana and a mob in your pack is full HP. Then you have to get distance. Like what not going to blink, you don't have distance for two two blizzards. So, if
distance for two two blizzards. So, if you play out that string of like you play out that string of like plays, decide to not do cone kiting, then you have the risk of like not
having Nova, but you can't fit another Blizzard. So you're put in a position where you have to transfer Blizzard to [ __ ] or run away and then transfer Blizzard to Nova with no slow. All the options are not good. So that's why I
think Py is is not bad, but like if the mobs are low not bad, but like if the mobs are low HP, Poly is kind of questionable.
Rank one Blizzard. I only have rank one blizzard. I'm not high level. If you're high level, there's a lot of options. That's why like polying at higher level is less impactful, but pying at this level is like, you know, I'm not able to
blizzard the mobs down because I don't have enough mana. Rank one frostbolt. Why frostbolt? What are you doing? Cuz like then then you're in a position where like, okay, you frostbolted the
mob and it's desynced from all the mobs. You just cone it. The answer is like pretty much all of the lines point to either you cone kite it until nova and then you get a proper blizzard opener or you rush the blizzard opener with a
you rush the blizzard opener with a blink. That's like really the options. blink. That's like really the options. And you can't fit blank in to this pole.
Holy [ __ ] Do you guys see that? Do you guys see that? That was like maximum hitbox [ __ ]
What is wrong with these mobs, bro? Help your friends.
You scan your camera to increase the [ __ ] range. That would be crazy.
conjuring my food and water on evo timer. I need need like a weak aura. Maybe just flashing evil on my screen like a [ __ ] like a [ __ ] huge ass reminder to do it.
Why is AoE farming so addictive? It's just so good. You just get so much progress in such little time. It's very satisfying.
the all the mobs. I need to do more extended pulls so I get back in the mindset like very creative pulls because there's always going to be opportunity I think to improve on this kind of stuff in the
speedrun because the patrols are so inconsistent, where these mobs are all the way in over here and these mobs are all the way over here and these mobs are all the way over here and you're just ready for the pull.
So you have to like have all the all the possibilities up have all the all the possibilities up your sleeve, you know, a good wizard.
freaking scattered reaction time. scattered reaction time. Why?
Frostbolt is really bad for pulling because you have a spell fromrost. It's too late. It's too late to get that.
Also, by the way, did I not just kill like 12 spiders and got zero meat, zero legs? What the [ __ ]
Frostbolt isn't good to use as a pulling tool unless you're pulling from a mob that needs to be slowed and you're going to like try to run past it because if you're trying to drag mobs, you don't want them to be slow.
Ideally, you don't that's that's why like using nova to pull and group is good, but like you know, cone of cold slows the mobs for eight or 11 seconds or something. It ends up being more of a significant slow
than novaing them. It's one of the cool things about nova.
these planned out. I'm pulling a lot more mobs than I should be like um more mobs than I should be like um accidentally.
Brother, what is wrong?
Speed on over. This is a practice, guys. This isn't a speedrun.
let's try going the opposite direction. Huh?
Definitely a single target angle. on these healers. school. So I'm not going to kick shadow bolt
I'm going to pull too many of these cuz they're cringe. I remember
Yeah. Yeah. That's why I remember. I remember those warders. You have to like only AE them down or counter spell them.
went out, so I couldn't do a shatter kind of shatter again. I This is why we're practicing on a non-h hardcore server for a non-hardcore speed run, boys. We go again.
Oh [ __ ]
the wall a little bit and it's just there was nowhere to go. I could have cleaned my poison before pulling the healer, pulling the healer, before blinking away.
Oh, dude. Wait, I could pull these warders before. That's probably the play. I pull these these mobs up top.
I'm done with this, I can come back and AoE the war the warriors at top is five. AoE the war the warriors at top is five. So I just have to get 10 here. Go five plus five inside or a combination of five plus five in
or a combination of five plus five in Orlando house. Okay, let's try again without pulling the healer. Okay, we pulled the healer.
I wonder if this is the healer I pulled last time. It might be. No way. Oh, it's not that bad.
seven raiders up here. So the tech is to do two pulls up here only have to kill like three down there with warders. with warders. That's that that is the tech.
radius. Maybe it's just because I'm not used to being such high level around used to being such high level around them.
That's probably my why my inventory feels so bad.
classic? I never thunderclap in classic. I know some people do. I never do it.
Like never. You'll never catch me thunderclapping, bro. It's a good debuff, but like I'm not doing that
for dungeons and stuff. Like, I'll never press it.
I don't need to do a lot here, but I will Nothing else. Open here. It's a double mob pull [ __ ]
Okay. Carrying recluse pulls, which is a little unintentional. Okay, we we got that. This is dangerous. Well, you know what? We We tried.
Well, you know what? We We tried. Oh my goodness. Oh my god. It just keeps getting worse, huh?
from this angle. This is a good angle to practice, too. think what I needed was to not have this spider in the [ __ ] way. First of all,
I don't want a spider there. Second of all, all, I have to figure it out.
[ __ ] comes through. Okay, we need to pull this. Nova comes through. Maybe border is a danger territory. Okay.
right. I still can.
Oh, terrible. Ugly ass [ __ ] pull. He did pull seven. Did pull seven.
Going to live. Oh [ __ ] We're going to live.
[ __ ] Oh, [ __ ] Oh, [ __ ]
Oh, [ __ ] I can't get worse, bro. Oh, I killed it still.
H pull complete.
but the wand killed it cuz it was low enough HP, but I didn't do more than 50% enough HP, but I didn't do more than 50% damage to get credit. That's funny. It reminds me of the pulls I would do on on Hardcore Allstars.
going to put one point in Arctic Reach here. Feel like it's so [ __ ] good for the mega pulls.
Sorry forens. Yeah, cuz they're a little faster, so you want a little distance.
value. Like I I see the value of shatter, but what I'm saying is I don't see why you would skip on Arctic Reach considering Arctic Reach allows you to do like much safer pulls overall.
And while you could say it's a matter of practice, recovering poles is almost always going to be necessary, no matter how much practice you do. Without Arctic Reach,
you have more chance of failure even with really high skill. with really high skill. So like
differently. He gets frost armor on a pull. Hitting it with Nova and not having to use snap. Like there's so many instances that
>> How are you? >> I think it's just too good in skip uh >> I think it's just too good in skip uh skip out on it.

And I mean I'm going to use it before level 40 anyways.

This is where I I try to figure out the strats. It's It's practice. So crazy about it. They're fending. You need to speedrun.
It should say mage speedrun practice. That's what I typed.

>> this is a pretty big deal, bro. Being able to make that 10 second save minimum.
How does that to save time? Because you're on the ground.
Ampio, what is going on here? Abort. Abort. Abort.
Why the [ __ ] are you locked down here, bro? Was setting up mushrooms. Yeah.
Cuz like this is the problem, right? Being a human lets you do this. You start here. Oops.
See what I'm saying? What does Gnome do?
takes the bridge. Easy. 10 seconds. Nova, bro. Just go to the trainer and train Nova.
train Nova. I get it at level 10.
You need something? >> No, I wasn't too deep in the corner. less tall. It's it's uh it's a hitbox different difference.
about that if you think about the models being a rectangle or a rectangular prism being a rectangle or a rectangular prism then
I'm clipping with the top portion above the gnome's head.
>> Cylinders doesn't matter.
boxes are cylindrical. I mean, I guess it it doesn't have to be, but it already has like a target
Imagine a hitbox would be very similar to this cone. I feel like [ __ ] is like a [ __ ]
from the mage, they have their hands out in the cone they have their hands out in the cone like this. Cast a cone of cold.
And I I feel like it stops because it's not quite a cone. It doesn't It doesn't keep going down. It It like if a mob is like vertical distance at all, it'll just go over his head.
I feel like it is shaped like an actual cone except the bottom part is just cut off. So it's like it's like this.
>> Oh, I'm supposed to be doing this. It's so bad on elevation.
right here, and a mob will stand in front of you, right here, cone of cold, front of you, right here, cone of cold, and it goes over their head.
Uh, cone radius does probably increase with jumping. >> Yeah, >> but the verticality doesn't get better.
horizontal. That's what it feels like. I kind of agree. halves. Is the area of the circle at the top.
of the bottom half. What are you asking me? >> What can I do? Is this relevant? Is this relevant? If you slice a cone in two and split the
If you slice a cone in two and split the two halves,
Are you asking if a general cone does or if the cone of cold does because I have if the cone of cold does because I have no [ __ ] idea no [ __ ] idea what the cone of cold
I think it's just the problem is that it's like a [ __ ] 2D cone it's like a [ __ ] 2D cone from your character.
You're asking if there's a triangle. A cone like this. What a cone. Holy cone. cone like this. What a cone. Holy cone. And you slice it here.
One with a circle on top and one with a circle on the bottom.
these these circles can't be the same because a cone by nature is sloping. because a cone by nature is sloping. It's not a cylinder.
>> If they were the same, then you could slice. [ __ ] math philosophy? Like, what is happening? I'm way too tired for this.
Someone passed the [ __ ] bong. Yeah, flat. That's what I'm saying, bro.
Bernie's trying to rile up the math nerds in the chat.
It's not truly the same area even if it's really close. It'd be like saying like if you could pick a number between like
always round down. It's like well then it's always zero but like that like I don't know. I feel like it's just a rounding error at that point.
what song is a banger? Actually, hold on. I need to do the whole leveling. >> No, absolutely not. Absolutely not. Hold
>> No, absolutely not. Absolutely not. Hold on.
What happened to the music? You What are you asking? We're blasting. I was watching Simply stream last night and he was blasting Phil Collins
and he was blasting Phil Collins to Tetris. It was Tetris Max outing to Phil Collins. >> What can I do?
Yeah, feel it, chat. Here we go.
classic plus like level race. That's going to be so sick cuz it's not going to be solved. I hate how solved everything is.
Sorry. I was just [ __ ] yelling. I don't even remember what I was saying.
effective AoE class that is the quickest. I mean, we just don't know. We That's the thing. We just don't know because like if they buff quest XP, that's not true.
buff quest XP, what's better? Hunter Mage, who knows? Maybe Rogue is buffed. Maybe Paladin is good. The the question marks are endless. There's it's it's
like Warlock, right? Warlock could be really good at questing. it's not solved. Like going AoE class is definitely a good idea, but it may not
be the best. And that's what makes it interesting because there's depth to it. interesting because there's depth to it. And nobody's practiced presumably. I hope there's no beta. Like I hope Classic Plus drops, if they if they're
actually going to just drop it, I hope they drop it with no beta and no information on classes and people just have to [ __ ] pick and there's no is going to be the best tank because we figured out all the information about
they have, all their talents, [ __ ] data miners. Like, dude, I hope all of that is out and people can just [ __ ] go with their gut. Like, just [ __ ] yolo for once. You cowardly meta slaves waiting for Wowhead
posts to data mine your [ __ ] so you can pick the most optimal class.
Oh, [ __ ] We're gonna die, Ch. [ __ ] We're gonna die. Wait. I don't know what's next. What's the next song? [ __ ]
feel it out. Whatever the next song is, it'll just be autoplay. it'll just be autoplay. Whatever.
Okay. No, it's too it's too chill. I need I need a blaster song right now. There we go. I'm sorry for skipping.
God, I wish I had [ __ ] cannibalize right now, man. These mobs are killing my vibe.
I didn't want to evo, Uh, felt like it was the right call.
The playlist just gets pulls out whatever it wants.
That is a nice cape. 33. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
Blizzcon. Get into shape.
Whatever shape you want. It could be round. Yeah. rough like randomly there? It's because my mouse is [ __ ] up. That wasn't me. Not copium.
Not copium. real might not have seen it. Might not come through the stream.
No. No. No. Yep. Yep.
I think we've looped around the playlist fully. Oh [ __ ] Lord Mr.
Lord Mr. I must I must execute here. I am out. Holy [ __ ]
lovely day on Spotify and then right click it and click go to radio. It's all it is. There's nothing special. There's no tech. It's just classic There's no tech. It's just classic Spotify [ __ ] you know?
God, he's [ __ ] attacking me with enchanted quickness.
a mage speed run. It's like this. This current run is not comp this. This current run is not comp competing against my mage run
competitive mage. This is like competing against maybe probably another practice against maybe probably another practice run.
Um, I'm probably not going to go to the gym blizz today. I mean, I could go But I'd have to go like now and I'm not going to drink anything. Pre-workout cuz I want to go to sleep at like 1 probably.
Oh my god, I got a new rank of Blizzard. That feels [ __ ] sick.
Yuck. Our [ __ ] is fully Arctic reached and our blizzard and Nova. It's big for extendo pulls. Speaking of, I see an outside extendo pull here.
pull here. Mind if I do?
this, you just loop him back around. Go for the recck.
Well, another resist. Another resist. This guy's got some [ __ ] buffs or something.
question is, are you getting baited by non-organ stuff? Um, I have no idea.
but if you have 100% mana and there's a pull in front of you and you're not at wars, it may be worth to still do it.
segment that I just did, if you look at the VOD, I'm curious to see what it is. What is the XP per hour of the pull I just did? You take just the pole and you remove it. If it's higher than 65k,
then it was worth. If it's lower, then it's a little bit questionable.
it's a little bit more complicated than that. Like if you spent, let's say you spend five minutes running somewhere and you get you lose, you know, 50% movement you get you lose, you know, 50% movement speed because you were killing things.
>> Then, you know, it's just a question of like you could have gained if you got there faster. faster. Um,
pulls. It It's so fun. This AOE speedrun mage is so much fun.
Thankful. Um, I just turn it in.
going to die a lot. I remember how bad Nolles was. Nolles was. But But I have more mana now. If I think But But I have more mana now. If I think it'll be nicer.
like so the like 30 run that I'm comparing to right now is whatever like I've done faster than is whatever like I've done faster than 19 hours. I've done a 17 hour
19 hours. I've done a 17 hour um So I don't know why it says 19 on mage. I've done 17 hours to 30, but
probably different account. I think that was actually my hardcore I think that was actually my hardcore time. the alliance the alliance world record is around 14:30
world record is around 14:30 to 30 14 hours 30 minutes, right? So, I'm like, let's say roughly 45 minutes from dinging. Just rough rough estimate, which means I'm an hour and a half to
which means I'm an hour and a half to two hours behind. because I've done so much random [ __ ] this run.
[ __ ] this run. I'm pretty happy with that actually.
optimized to contend with the 14 ft. Oh, dude, this character has died like 50 times. This there's so there there's this is not a speedrun anymore. Up to level 20, it was comparable to speedrunning. Now,
I'm just learning. It's just it's just pure learn run at this point. I've pure learn run at this point. I've abandoned trying to worry about speed in general. It's just practice. It's all just practice. Everything. It's like I
need to learn the uh AoE spots mostly. Like I don't think that my questing is much slower. Honestly, I I I think it it probably is, but by how much is
but by how much is probably not as as bad as the uh the [ __ ] AoE spots, which are more cultivated poles.
What is wrong with Stalin? Can you not kite him to town?
Semly short release timer. Oh, so how do you do it with Arcane Explosion or something?

>> Tear of Tiloa. I've done the quest and turned it in. >> Oh, I don't really need this. Not going to worry about keeping it.
want to play Pi on Classic Plus. Probably
See you later. >> What can I do for you? >> What can I do for you? >> 160 XP.
until like I'm higher level, right? I think turning in a higher level makes sense because I imagine you get the most XP right now unless you want to get ice block as fast as possible. That would be the option.
Just do crab cakes much earlier. Cloud bells. I killed 50 spiders and I had three legs. What can I say?
I think we should watch somebody do these, these, but I'm going to yellow this for now.
be great. This is full vibes right now.
I think I'm going to try this and this might kill me.
Something good about just AoE. Just chilling and AoEing, dude. chilling and AoEing, dude. Should
the tent or is it not worth it? What does that mean?
Am I doing this pull Bernie? Do you do this pull or do you skip this cave?
I don't like doing this with the level 32.
The meta is a skip. Oh, I love that. That's I hate that place. The only thing is like I don't know how this how this zone works honestly.
Lot of cloud bells. Yeah, I should just watch.
I'm kind of remembering like boom boom boom boom boom
two pulls. Okay, well I did that cave. Oh, I see. What is a K of one pull?
looks like they says has like a line up here. Let's see. I assume it's so that you can skip the mobs. You do a little drink run
up here and then you can skip the jump up.
Yeah, that's what I used to do is I would I would clear and then jump up. Now I don't know how to do this. Let's watch
I'm watching his I'm just watching his video to see what he does. Hold hold once I see
we don't get any block shenanigans.
record mage. bells in the layer. We are checking to see how he's doing We are checking to see how he's doing organs to learn from the best.
goes one. Yeah. Same pull that I did. That's cool. Yeah. Same pull that I did. That's cool. Goes for the snap.
I feel like there's no reason to. It's the same thing with like the Fangor pull that I was doing. Like you still get a stack of like eight mobs. The higher mob count you do, yes, it is more efficient, but also the higher risk of
resist. So it turns into like more likely AE kiting
I feel like you just got a rank of blizzard. There's no way. It drops down to go all the way around.
Okay. Okay. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Hold on a second. What the [ __ ] is he over here?
Is it Do you do this?
see what he does. I'm doing what he does.
Oh, it's just this. Yeah. 30 smoother when you get used to it. Okay.
the leaves. Okay. Whoa. Whoa. Hold on. Still can't Okay. Whoa. Whoa. Hold on. Still can't see a [ __ ] thing, guys.
[ __ ] We're frostbolting the world. We're evading. Proximity pull. Proximity pull. Hey. Hey. Elva. Yeah. Blink through. We're 50%
mana. What do you mean?
Oh, I forgot we have manage them now. I have it made, but I don't have it. It doesn't click because it's been so long since I've used them.
I see. For a for a group. Okay, let's try it. Let's try it. I don't really try it. Let's try it. I don't really know what mobs he targeted,
Rank one poly. It looked like he went like this.
That's a cool pull. It feels like I'm doing Mara or something.
Let me look at his his Discord message again. 358 Wait. So, you're just repeating. You're just coming back up here permanently.
just coming back up here permanently. What is eight? Why you guys doing three?
Is four even? I guess it's just this.
Oh, we're back. Nice. Yeah, I know they are pretty fast.
Maybe it's more consistent to mana shield, but my understanding of the mob shield, but my understanding of the mob AI is it's like um there's a leeway from when you pull to when they poison.
So if you're fast, then you maybe don't get poisoned. But also like I've only done like two pulls, so
yeah, like maybe it's worth just a mana shield anyways.
this. Is there casters inside of the barn?
Ever. Oh, sounds good to me.
It's a two-minute timer. I'll just do it after.
Think I did one too many frost bolts. I was trying to mess was trying to mess mess with it.
No, you can't get m dazed with mana shield.
like potions maybe greens. greens. What's the expected value of a chest?
manifest insane valf. Why? know what the thing is. Is it just like so you don't have to spirit regen?
I shouldn't be mana potting in these holes.
Rank two mana shield or rank one. Let's do rank one.
So, what am I supposed to do with these shadow weavers?
I'm not killing them. [ __ ] that. Freak those mobs.
don't spawn exactly. It's probably like maybe one to two minute or whatever. two two three minutes. I don't know. Maybe that is actually that might be all Maybe that is actually that might be all of them.
this. It's not comfy. I don't like why.
I just do this. I like that. I like that.
like doesn't really make sense to approach from the top All right.
I think that I hit the spawn timer from the other ones.
Yeah, we should level Duos speed around a world record.
What if you can just like blink up this and save some time?
did not want to get another poison on me.
I didn't mean it for it to open in the middle of my screen. Sorry. What do you mean? Hey, what do you want me to do? I was watching a video, ma'am.
I did. So what?
know. Like I don't think it is cuz the new rank of Blizzard is 28. So I think this is just like a waste of time to do it like this. Probably more mana, too.
of nice. That fell fast, but I barely have mana to do that. Combat faster. Probably
Yeah, but Blizzard takes every 1 second instead of 1.5 seconds. That's the difference. It's like it sounds good,
right? What are we even saying? What am I saying?
was confused. Look, Look, this is why I was confused. running. I thought you were just talking about Blizzard.
Dude, my back hurts. What the [ __ ]
We're a long time. Liz, probably three, maybe four. few po pulls with poison. No, I got meleeed like four times in that pole. >> Hello.
>> Ice armor arcane explosion. New rank arcane explosion is huge. Now it's definitely better to AE kite. Pre30 it doesn't make sense. Like it just doesn't even make sense. But now that I'm 30, I could see
sense. But now that I'm 30, I could see it. Open for business. Go with honor, friend.
This the splits it's competing against are not real.
This music doesn't feel like speedrun amp. Oh, one sec.
for the >> What the
>> Hey there. Farewell
off of that. I don't over the I don't know where my radio went.
feel like I should only turn in the quests that I need to turn in. You know what I'm saying? like the wand.
>> Love this wand. Seeing you Four in seven spirit helps doing these I'm sure
whatever like it's 2k XP. Turn in at 28 29 to hit 30 ASAP. I kind of like that idea. I also think Arcane Explosion is [ __ ] juiced. I I
bet I bet I could probably shave some time off doing AE polls. Maybe not on the vile ones, but the dark Maybe not on the vile ones, but the dark runners at the very least.
I think that now that I'm 30, I didn't realize. pull with ice block here or do you save ice block for an emergency?
I'm just going to block this because I pulled extra. Oh, [ __ ] I was indecisive. I was going to [ __ ] it, but I was too late.
Feels sick, man. [ __ ] End of the stream. angle sleep.
Wait, did those mobs just spawn? Did I see that? Right.
No, stuck. Oh, wait. We're good. stuck. Oh, wait. We're good. I need to like figure out. know. Cuz you get stuck in combat. But maybe that was only a level 29 thing.
the evade is what resets their leash timer, right?
bro. I I pressed my bind for cancel block and it wanded.
That's why because I for like my uh debuff drops like this.
block. It's just a modifier macro to save a keybind location. doesn't work. Looks like it'll work.
Yeah, I was just trying to clean up my UI a bit and it uh has definitely opened some problems, macro issues which don't make sense.
this mob. This mob and the four with the nova on these two pull from far group up a kite. That's the plan. Or I could actually just get a [ __ ] on these two. That sounds better.
that mob pulled, but I also didn't like the way that I pulled it. I don't think I can just [ __ ] the two. I could just probably just walk through them and it's safer. Just like blink through them, face pull everything. Nova 4 or Nova
six. This seems like the most reliable. Just Nova 6. Just Nova 6. Right off the bat,
not a correct uh comparison. It's like a different class, I think. I don't really know what it's comparing to.
Hm. Um, it's better to just blizzard this for safety. And also, this pull is very mana inensive. It's not as forgiving as the other ones. Like those resists ended up, I think, costing me time.
But if I have enough mana to overkill, then it's probably perfect.
You just single target these shadow weavers.
Fireball new rank. It looks like they're [ __ ] like you're just clearing them for maybe spawns.
was that? Like a Z-axis? I think that was a Z-axis thing.
My range was like consistent. I wasn't I wasn't moving like abnormally or anything. And just [ __ ] Luckily, I mean, I don't even need to do circles on these dark uh dark runners.
They're fast enough that I'm pretty sure I could just hold S and be perfectly dead zoning them. It looks stupid, but I'm pretty sure I can just put my back to where I want
to go and hold S and just perfectly kite them and then sit and drink the high level water. That's a that's like a pretty good optimization rather than take drinking, I think.
That's terrible. I could probably blink right here and it'll be good. right here and it'll be good. Oh, wait. That's
I have Arctic Reach. I need to get used to it.
Oh, a terrible blizzard. Uh, actually, it's fine.
Wow, that's a pretty good wand. I found that a little earlier.
Uh, I think Ascension Wild looks way too retaily for me.
I'm glad people are enjoying it, but it's for me like classic. Just like it's Wow. Just reimagined. Wow. Which, you know, maybe that is classic plus to you.
I haven't really seen anything about like how it all functions like systematically um because I think that's a big part of um because I think that's a big part of making it like classic to me. But
to me it it looks like a reimagined wrath, all like the new classes and stuff. And that could be cool though. I mean, that could be cool though. I mean, people love that style.
Let's look at this. Get an aerial view of the situation. Yeah.
This seems like the best angle I can get.
Ideally, you want to pull from this side. side. I think that you can go boom boom boom. I think that you can go boom boom boom. you would lose two mobs you can't see.
And there's another mob that's a little questionable that's like right there. pull. And that might just be enough for it to be worth like it's like a quick sweep of this location. So let's try to let's try to execute that. Um this mob
is going to be a problem. Let's open with the sheep.
I mean, it's pretty dirty.
You can do it cleaner. Yeah, that was the first attempt. I will say that that was a that was a gem, but
maybe you would just start at a camp with a nova.
I I ended really like that was a sloppy pull. I I could have used my HP better pull. I I could have used my HP better back for the next time.
little sloppy actual execution of the pull itself,
but I didn't really start making money until 2018.
I made like a $100 in a month and I'm like happy about that. anything more than just streaming for fun for a long time.
bro. Went to school.
Yeah, I could have potioned or something.
Dude, what is going on? I just missed so many ticks. Lock in, bro.
Oh my god, it's not fully respawned. Oh, just in time.
What the [ __ ] What the [ __ ] was that pathing split? What the [ __ ] was that pathing split? I'm dead.
Wait, am I dead? I don't think I'm dead.
