Enjoyable video, gonna be "that guy" but Shammys can Self-res :)

[markdangerchen]

@ZoomyRamen Could they self-rez in 2005/2006? I don't recall that ever happening.

[markdangerchen]

@ZoomyRamen or wait. there was a timer right?

[ravuno]

@markdangerchen There was a timer, but reincarnation have always been in their spell arsenal. :)

[frostbytkp]

@ZoomyRamen you could buy Ankh (a reagent) and self-rez every hour or so I believe

This is why wow never appealed to me wayyy to complicated but great work

[markdangerchen]

@tireoghain1V I've quit WoW. Five times...

[EarlZMoade]

@tireoghain1V it's really not, you are a moron if you don't get it...

[omegastar19]

@tireoghain1V Actually, one of the main reasons WoW is so popular is because its so versatile. The Raiding explained here is just one of many things that you can do in the game. If you want to play alone, that is perfectly possible. If you want to group up with a few people, that is perfectly possible. If you want to play AGAINST other people, that is possible.

Interesting and a good watch, though I know you were nervous, my only suggestion would to be more conscious of your "ums" and "uhs." Other than that, great work!

[markdangerchen]

@ungivenglory thanks! the ums are something I work on a lot. It seems that the faster I talk, the better I do, so maybe I just needed to speed up... :)

Actually, part of the problem is that I wanted this to be on the informal side and so didn't practice a specific script, just letting the slides remind me what to say.
