Warrior Tanking Ruins of Lordaeron — Full Breakdown & Transcript

[00:00] Guys, I'm going to maintain ruins of Lordaeron here in a sec. It's going to be different. All right. Officially protection, boys. Shield spec, five out of five. I could go five parry. I could go thunderclap.

[00:13] I could go flood rage. You guys all like thunder? Oh, I could go crit, too. I could go crit. Thunderclap, not even close. All right. And then what else do you guys want? We go blood rage?

[00:27] Blood rage and then last hand? to double blood rage last stand. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Alright, alright. Yeah. Oh, I feel stronger already. We're going to go to Westfall, do some turn-ins,

[00:39] and then we're going to build up a group for the ruins and take both on both over. No, do not do last stand, go for revenge. Oh, two in blood rage and then go revenge, huh? 20% revenge damage.

[00:56] Alright, guys. If you want to hit a quickie, ruins of Lordaeron. I'm going to main tank it. I'll take care of all the details. You guys can just, you know, come along for the ride. I can carry it, no problem. Send me a whisper. Preferably not level

[01:09] 20s. I think the dungeon is probably like level... What level range should we invite? Like 14 to 18? Last boss is 20? Oh, okay. Like 16 to 19. Level 20, 20, 20.

[01:21] Yeah, preferably 16 to 19. But if we can't fill, I'll invite level 20, so we don't want to get carried here. I like to do the carrying myself. Here it is. Skyborn portal to Dalaran. My team is going to take some time because they have to go on some boats, but it's all good.

[01:36] You know, we're sure I'm not here. Pure miracle. Is that a person? I thought that was an NPC who's getting roleplay and RP walking with a torch.

[01:48] Oh, that's sick. My RP walk key bind is like toggle run walk. Hello. Hello, sir. I'm clearly not a sir in the game, but...

[02:00] It's fine. You know, whatever. Do you need water? I'm a warrior. I have rage. Guys, are you blind? Yeah, I don't know if we want to go down the sir-ma'am route on this guy either.

[02:14] Um, let's just... taunt your food. He's not offering food, though. This might be tough. I thought you were blind? I could feel the direction your vehicle is pointing, guys. Come on. guys. Come on. Back at you.

[02:27] You're a miracle. Stay safe out there. Oh, thanks, babe. Have I left the room today? I don't

[02:39] think so. My wife just comes in. I've been here for six hours. Have you left today? I don't think I've left today. A lot going on, though, guys. A lot's going on.

[02:52] Stay behind me. I'll How many tanks? Uhhhhhh... Well...

[03:15] I don't know what I was expecting. I thought maybe I could get a little closer than that. That's how it's gonna go? Yeah, sounds about right. There is a sewer pipe, but it requires a key. Oh, that's pretty cool.

[03:27] Well. Might be a double run angle, guys. Woo! Woo!

[03:39] Die! Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat. Actually, I'm already in, so if I die, it's not that big of a deal. You're dead? No, we're good, we're good, we're good.

[03:52] 19.7 DPS sword? Oh, that cloak is good too! Oh, that ring is good too!

[04:05] That's a tough choice. Is this your first time getting ruined to Lordaeron? First time as a main tank. Oh, they can't get in. Oh my gosh. Dude, getting here as alliance is rough.

[04:18] I'd say we start clearing some of the EC stuff, not any of the bosses. Is he addicted to opening the add-on tab? I'm just constantly, like, tweaking things. Bro, it is so much easier to tank his prod.

[04:31] These are also green mobs, so maybe that's why. But holy crap. Wait till you get cleave? Yeah, that's at 20, right? Oh, I mean, this tanking is, like, so easy now.

[04:43] Not even just from, like, a tank perspective, but from a threat perspective. Like, dead mines was brutal. I made threat meter forever. That says threat meter on plates.

[04:56] I mean, I already have threat here and on the plate color, so I don't know if I need like a third threat meter. All right, now we can use some bosses. Dude, yeah, this second. Oh, second. Dude, we're pumping too, man.

[05:10] Oh, five stam, five strength, blue wave. Heck yeah. You need the shield spike enchant? Yeah, that would go even harder. Look at the DPS too. It's like, I'm tanking, and, like, I'm using a lot of my utility, like, Thunder, T-Clap, and Demo.

[05:26] But, like, we're still pumping the meters. A lot of it is probably because of Thorns. But still.

[05:47] Oh. Mouth is done on me. Bro.

[06:07] What's aggro like without thorns? Uh, I think my first dungeon is Pra, but I would assume it's probably still pretty good. I don't know.

[06:19] Imagine if you were orc or tauren too. No you do not keep your character from the beta guys. We're starting over. These are just for like testing.

[06:31] My spec is this right now. We're thunderclap, shield spec, and bloodrage.

[06:49] Man I just can believe how engaging this is compared to when I did this on my mage Once again I going to man a mage I not even hating on mage It just feels like I playing a completely different game Like it just feels like I playing a different game with a level of like buttons

[07:17] you need to press and things you need to do. And this is just level 19 gameplay, right? Crazy. Tanking versus teeth. Yeah, maybe. Look at that stuff, man. I almost just want

[07:29] I'm pulling more. We could do so much damage, but might as well, man.

[07:44] Yo, got something? Little limit cells, yeah. We have an insignia. Collect 10 insignias and take them to Stormwind.

[07:58] Master shots there. Okay. I'm at ammo level 19 so I'm kinda smurfing on this place.

[08:15] Does Thunderclap hit all enemies? Um, four targets. It's capped at four, it looks like. Completely, completely different game when you're playing broad. Oh my gosh.

[08:29] I actually think we're going to hit 20 off this, because we'll have two quest turn-ins, right? Okay, this is a fat hole.

[08:41] That's an elite here. Normal mobs here. Elite here. 9 out of 10 on this quest, boom 10 out of 10. So I've turned in some stormwind that we can first over and send the turn in after.

[08:54] Okay so I actually kinda like charging in thunderplotting and then going descent. Not too bad there. How big is the dungeon? It's pretty big but it's also just kinda like open. You just kinda run around and explore stuff. Why doesn't he get the quest? I think the quest is through here.

[09:09] Like you have to go this way if I'm not mistaken. But we'll clear everything here cause why the heck not. not the way I see it now with dungeons is like bro they're only doing these places usually like

[09:21] once now so you might as well just full send it

[09:45] yeah you can cleave in defensive stance we were just talking about that a second ago yeah I would have trusted the healer a little bit might as well looks like the healer has got some mana to keep sending

[10:09] yeah I mean might as well keep sending What an experience, man.

[10:43] Very nice.

[11:08] Is our here to save warrior? Bro, I don't think they need saving, man. This is lit. Do I like this dungeon to Ironforge better? I like them like equally in different ways. I think maybe I would give a slight edge to Ironforge which is actually weird because this one's amazing but like, bro they're both sick.

[11:26] I think I'm biased on Ironforge because I'm a lion so I also think it kind of reminds me of like DRD a little bit. Gonna give the healer a second for the old mana.

[11:43] Got something?

[11:57] What played out on the mighty thing? Better bliss please. I'll link you all my alms in the chat.

[12:13] Oh, it's DOE, or BOP. Claw's belt, nice. 345 armor shield, donate it.

[12:43] Mmm. Yo, fat hole. Let's go.

[13:00] Yo, this is so fun. This is, like, so engaging, bro. I can't believe this is level 19 warrior gameplay, man. I just can't believe it.

[13:13] Warrior APM is just like completely different sound like a broken record

[13:26] but jeez you ever try to rouse Proud Warrior? I have not I have not I've actually never really played Proud Warrior like at all maybe that's just kind of what I'm enjoying too is that like I've actually just never

[13:38] played a Proud Warrior I've played a lot of Proud Pally and it's like a lot more passive most APM. Yeah, you wouldn't really think it would be that way, but it totally is. It's like, shield block is just, like, so fun to press. Every time you press shield block,

[13:50] it's like, alright, not only am I going to get a revenge proc, not only am I invincible, but I'm also getting rage back. I'm, like, not taking damage. I'm going to be doing damage. I'm going to be getting threat. Wait, is shield block off global? Bro, shield block

[14:05] is off global cooldown That why it high APM I didn realize that until right now I think tips updated rules okay that probably good What going on I take a look in a sec What the math wrong block It puts me in D if I not already there Your poor druid healer is bored

[14:20] I know, I'm trying to pull more to make this guy less bored, but I think you're right. Yeah, druid heals are very very different, because normally in classics they're a little on the weekend, but later, see if we can make him less bored here.

[14:34] Yeah, druid healer. Are you bored still, druid healer? Still a druid healer? Let's see it.

[14:50] Yeah, there we go. Now we bloodboard. Yeah, this is legit harder and more... button presses and more dynamic than like endgame mage raiding.

[15:03] No cap. No cap. Actual... actual truth. Endgame nade trading is one button. This is three. I would say this is more than three.

[15:16] Let's count. So I'm using Demo Shout every pull, Thunder Clap every pull, Battle Shout almost every pull, every other, Blood Rage almost every pull, Shield Block on cooldown,

[15:28] Taunt on cooldown almost, Heroic Strike every pull, Thunder every pull, and Revenge every pull, and then Charge like every other. So that's about ten. and that's not including things like Mocking Blow that I could use,

[15:41] Disarm that I could use, Shield Bash that I could use, Ren that I could use, but like 10 if we're going to kind of be somewhat conservative. If you want to be very conservative, it's like 8. That's crazy. That's a lot for a level 19.

[15:54] And I'm not complaining. I'm saying it's awesome. That's great. That's really good. And then you get Last Stand, yeah, Shield Wall, Please, very fun. There's another quest here, guys. Bring the Bloodstained Lighter to Stormwind.

[16:07] Then we have a boss here and then we have another boss when we backtrack.

[16:37] got it, deflamming

[16:54] 26 damage and healing and 13 spirit, aww that's so good

[17:07] Okay, I think we have to go all the way back around now to get out of here, but there's another boss or two.

[17:22] It's weird because, like, I have more fun when I play my warrior, but... I'm just such a long time ma- oh, I might die. I had double

[17:36] wait how did how did the aggro that many skeletons who pulled wait a minute I was actually completely fine too but they put a debuff that reduced the healing by 75% there was two of those debuffs

[17:48] I don't know if they stuck it's the event you started the gauntlet yeah I don't know who pulled that that decurs is brutal oh jeez uh yeah let's go this way it's actually probably quicker to die and run back anyway Alright, so, slime, we're speedrunning.

[18:29] Loot Baron? Good call. Good call guys. Let me grab it.

[18:48] Got it. Got it.

[19:00] Man, dungeons are, like, such good experience now. It's crazy. Like, on this character, I actually haven't done all too much besides literally just do the starting zone for Zephyr's Isle,

[19:17] and then I went straight into the Ironforge dungeon, almost straight into dead mines and almost straight into ruins and now I'm 20. I haven't even like done

[19:30] much besides that. I wonder if the XP is too good. I wonder if it needs a frightener.

[19:50] hush hush hush no you guys we're playing classic WoW it's not like it's not like oh let's try to get to level 60 in a day right like this is classic WoW I don't

[20:02] I think it's worth having the conversation of are you leveling too slow or are you leveling too fast I think that's a completely fair thing to think about this isn't you know

[20:16] a version of the game where we're trying to just hit max and stuff I think there was a fireplace boss here. And this I think is pretty tough.

[20:29] So you click on the warm kindling here. And then it will spawn a bunch of skeletons. And then once you kill these it spawns more.

[20:43] The troop is super locked in and dialed. We have another group that spawns right away with 2 elite, 3 elite, 4 elite, 5 elite. Bro, it is like... I feel like this might be too hard for a lot of groups. I think we're going to be fine, but our group is really strong.

[20:59] 5 elites with 0 uptime. You're going to have to really tight this back so you don't just stand where you spawn. Like, you have to play way over there and do 1 wave and then try to drink and turtle it.

[21:11] Because if you just like stand here like we are and your group isn like over leveled another three elites after that was zero breaks

[21:46] oh, we found it, I thought there was like a final boss, oh no this is the final boss.

[22:07] Dictor the vile. Dixer the vile

[22:20] Third? Oh my gosh, Christ, that's what's up. At some point man, at some point. Yo, thanks for the two on calling Sword Trough, let's see what happens.

[22:38] boots, male boots, oh jeez, those are good, dude, blue gloves, blue waist, blue legs, blue boots,

[22:53] blue neck, blue bracers, blue weapon, I don't know, man, I still think there might be too many blues that are, because I haven't even gotten, like, that lucky on loot on this guy, I got, like, Not a ton from the Ironforged or Deadmines. I've got a little more lucky here but there's a lot of loot in here man.

[23:12] Missing the shield now. We have some quest turn ins. Arcane Barass with Frostfire Bolt, no Arcane Blast, could that be possible? Maybe, we'll see. You aren't even level 20? I'm about to be 20 but yeah, not yet.

[23:30] That's what I'm saying, like just full natty gameplay, slash played 12 hours, almost 20, almost full blues and just playing.

[23:42] He's very strong. Zip bag, thankful crime. One strength or four attack power on a foe.

[24:00] I don't know if I've ever... I think those are the only bosses I've done. Is there another in here? What, Dungeon? This is some new Ruins of Lordaeron.

[24:30] Either thing is another boss right here, huh?

[24:50] Okay. Oh, this thing.

[25:03] I don't know if I did this boss last time. Maybe we did. I think I didn't. He abandoned. You know, maybe I did do it. You know what? I think I did do it, actually.

[25:30] What do we get? No gloves. Dude, the blues are insane. Those are pretty cracked. Oh my gosh, bro.

[25:42] We're actually getting really good loot suspension, though. Those are like level 45 blue gloves, what? That's what I'm saying.

[25:54] I really do. I know people are like, hush, star, hush. Don't say that. you know, but I really do think the loot is like a little too good on these low level dungeons, right? You want to naturally

[26:06] arc up to where you have this experience of you get really rare cool loot, right? That's part of classic WoW, and eventually you get these really strong blues that feel amazing. How many of you guys are basically

[26:18] full blues at level 20? Like when you gain level 20, rather. Not like after farming, but like right when you gain 20. It's kind of how it happened on my mage

[26:30] and it kind of happened on this guy too. Where it's like, you're kind of full blues right when you ding. Or at least, maybe not full, but like kind of, kind of close. Maybe I just got lucky

[26:42] on both my characters? I don't know. It happened two for two for me. Just looking for a crest now. Okay, so I think those are all the bosses. Snub's just tweets,

[26:54] giving everyone else a chance in the tipped out $100,000 tourney. Can't wait to watch these casuals compete against these privileged streamers for second place. Holy crap. What? Just send that? Unbelievable. Oh my gosh. That is crazy.

[27:16] I'll let someone else win this one. Oh my gosh. If he didn't have the track record of literally winning every time, then it would be different, but he does, so it's like, I I guess it kind of does make sense. Mmm!

[27:28] Crest of Lordaeron! Right there, boys! I would have never known. Sick! So, there's a couple spawn locations. It makes you...

[27:40] It incentivizes you to run around the map and actually look for some stuff. It's another quest turn in Stormwind. Alright, so now we have four... Wait. There's a quest turn at the start of the dungeon. And then three in Stormwind, I think.

[27:53] the thing is you don't really want to use any of those abilities that's the difference yo cheesy guys am I going two-hander or am I going

[28:05] tank ring I mean I'm playing prot right now and if I want to go two-hander I already have a decent one I feel like I kind of want to go tank ring just full send prot I'm just having so much fun as prot

[28:18] yeah let's just go tank yo and we're level 20 Let go.
