Ciderhelm's Guide to Warrior Tanking Souls

[GenjiZerk]

WHY DO YOU GIVE THESE GUIDES OUT? IS IT NOT THE PLAYERS JOB TO PLAY AND DISCOVER THE BEST BUILDS?

[jellegaard]

@GenjiZerk It's their option to do so, like it's an option to go here for a guide if you're stick or want a second opinion.

[GenjiZerk]

@jellegaard Yeah, well people who look for a guide are noobs, and are not true mmo players; posers for a lack of a better word.

[GalloGSM]

@GenjiZerk Number crunching doesn't make you a 'true mmo player'. In fact, explain exactly what a 'true mmo player' is, please.

[GamerLCD]

I play all good MMO's. Im no poort kid who can only afford 1 subscription and diss the others.

[StinnesPriester]

@cripple2k Dont hear things about Rift, try it, then you can come back and discuss. Ciderhelm knows both and prefers Rift just like i do but i can understand and accept everyone who tried rift and stayed in azeroth, but people who hera things about rift and dont know both games should really shut up.

[cribble2k]

RIFT.

What a horrible WoW knockoff.

I hear 99% of the RIFT player base are peeps who nerd raged out of WoW.

[zilakk]

@cribble2k Orly, where the fuck do you "hear" that? lol... rift is shit but still..

Why even care scrub

[cribble2k]

@zilakk umad bro?

sit down and gtfo . fag

[MegaMrBeautiful]

go back to WoW. need updates from you man

[SpazticDan]

Dammit... Now I have to find @Garrflin 's comment....

[TheRecklessmonk]

You need to respect Ciderhelm. He created one of the best websites for World of Warcraft next to WoWhead, Curse, EJ and MMochampions. Tankspot is the place to go for guides and Class/tanking tips. I see what he is doing, trying to help the Rift community and build another awesome site for the new game. Peace Cider, and good luck!

[ll5MAV9ll]

I remember seeing ciderhelm sitting in dalaran on his swift brown steed

[Raffze]

O wow. I remember Ciderhelm from my WoW raiding days, great to see he's doing Rift stuff now :D

[Curlyq1515]

did u quit rift?

[LudicSin]

11 Kids are still playing WoW.

[thegreatjojo1]

@LudicSin And one kid is making useless comments on a video, that only shows how much of an immature kid he is, his name is LudicSin

[cleamarshall]

Thanks heaps Ciderhelm, I agree w/Nexxus a Cleric version would be good but so glad to see you came over :D

[JamusMC]

YOU. ARE. GOD.

[MajinJiriya]

You truely are the friend to all tanks, if they could only clone you...

[SomeAustralian]

Ciderhelm ... really? Dude you just got out of one huge MMO binge ... why fall into another?

[Thefuhhinfoo]

Why cant WoW players an RIFT player be FRIENDS!!??!???!?!

[Lordmryanz]

What I'm about to state is fact.

Ciderhelm is fking awesome.

[TheOfoz]

Thanks for the guides.

Check out my YouTube channel for a 7 day free trial to Rift with a special offer from me for special in-game items

[bekosus123]

go play hon :D

[daytek85]

i've missed ciderhelm, he has a really cute bearish voice.

[JoshPelekaiOfficial]

... a guide for finding Osama

... a guide for surviving 2012

... a guide for picking up cute girls at the clubs

... a guide for navigating through the Bermuda Triangle.

[bmdshred77]

Playing

[bmdshred77]

So basically go hybrid. Would figure really wanted to maximize one tree to feel like I'm saying a particular class

[ajs2984]

cider - we miss you over at wow man.. your work is always pro. you are the TAO of gaming fansites. Those that have tried to replace you simply dont compare.

[kickassmage]

@Powerlight56 go play WOW emo kid

[kickassmage]

lol for the Rift bashers...lol go play wow emo kid

[EmperorofCartoons]

This game is buggy as crap and looks terrible. It really looks like someone made a F2P and at the last minute decided trying to charge a sub for it and it caught on. When and if you finally get it to run you will be treated to the very best graphics 1999 had to offer.

[0applecider0]

@EmperorofCartoons lold...

I have had 0 bugs or glitches happen to me since the beta.

Terrible graphics? Probably best mmo I have seen via graphics.

Good try, though.

[EmperorofCartoons]

@0applecider0 You seriously consider these to be good graphics? They look like a slightly polished up form of Diablo II. FFXI had better graphics than this, especially if you edited your registry (Although Rift handles textures better I will give it that.).

And yeah I honestly did think of playing the game, mainly cause of the positive reviews of its game-play, but I've never gotten a single trial to install or run properly, so that didnt really fill me with enough confidence to buy the game.

[hbbadgermonkey]

People arguing rift vs wow are dumb. Which is better is subjective. Theyre very similar, but have enough distinction to both exist as good games.

[logosloki]

I think I will dl this, queue it up on my mp3 player and listen to it while I sleep, while I drive and while I am playing other games.

[greytux96]

amazingly helpful, been a follower since way back when you were doing the Tankspot Podcasts, keep it up =)

[danigon1990]

can you tell me the name of this track used?

[Ganondorf002]

ciderhelm... y u no play all teh classes!?!

Your video are great!!!!!!!!

[Gonzo13eth]

I play Ciderhelm videos when I need to relax before going to sleep, fuck that sounds of the rainforest shit.

[Spunkl3s]

Oh shit, this is a MOVIE. Not a video = even more juiced.

[Cheebzsta]

Nice guide Cider. Glad you found another MMO you're in to. I just wish the game was more inspiring. Something about the graphics and the general colour of the game seems dull and uninteresting.

It's a very well made game tho and you've picked well. :)

[DenFjeerde]

Everything u just said made me think about WoW. Rift is spoof of wow. fuck rift

[EmperorofCartoons]

@DenFjeerde WoW is nothing more than a dumbed down EQ. They all go back to Ultima anyway.

[knakpoolse]

athene can eat it, ciderhelm beats him hands down, blindfolded inside a cage!

[nickcaaaa]

Rift is better than WoW stfu all of you.

[Adecon86]

If he sounds preachy, it's because he has a right to be. He's proven himself time and time again in this game and games prior. If someone as talented as him is giving me amazing advice he could call my mother a fat whore and I'd still listen to what he had to say.

[bananen12]

tips for the next video you do that is freaking 30 mins long put some gameplay / random fights / pvp or whatever. even if what your talking about has nothing to do with the clip we have something to watch while you go on and on about stats. the stats are veary help full but not as much if you cant remember it cus the video was so boring. short conclusion: boring video= facts wont stick. more fun to watch / listen to= all facts stick and you have a method to remember it. gl hf.

[CardsAndCandles]

@bananen12 most people have an attention span of a flea and that wont help. just write shit down or if you think its boring...dont watch it? kthxbai

[TehandKirb]

Ciderhelm <--- Smartest Gamer ever.

[legendaryplayer]

@TehandKirb Too bad he seem to run off in the middle of the game he plays. oh, if you knew how many times I've seen the Naxx raid videos! Even when it was end-WOTLK and start of Cata, I watched it.

Best. Tank. Ever.

Also the guy who made me roll a warrior when I played WoW.

.... Damn.. now i want to play a warrior again >.<

[deuscain]

Kind of a preachy guide, :-/

[justadued]

such a baller Ciderhelm :D

[LastKnight0727]

how you gonna say that block isn't a viable EH stat? The damage you block is damage you didn't take therefore if you have a 50% chance to block say 30% damage, that's 15% extra EH give or take a few %

[Arthoskr]

@LastKnight0727 Because block is based on RNG

[ExoVampire]

Grepolis... OMG WHAT A FAG GAME.

[NexxusLIVE]

Wish I could find a Cleric version of Ciderhelm.

[TitanbrolyGilneas]

@NexxusLIVE haha gl with that cider is too pro

[waagemensch]

@NexxusLIVE Rift junkies has a nice guide for a Justicar Shaman purifier guide, additionally I found an very detailed one on the forums, using search terms cleric tanking in the cleric area.

Didnt want to put the links here since they are very long , but if you like i can send you a pm in case you are open to non video guides =)

[maluttr]

HAI GUYZ I KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!

Fuck off.

[SLIPBFMV]

Ok, I have a question for the community, I stopped playing wow for about 2 months because I just didn't feel like playing. I started playing a MOBA called League of Legends, I want to go back to wow and continue raiding with my guild and doing arena with some friends. Is it worth even going back to WoW or going to rift? I just feel rift looks to corny and not as well made as its in its premature stage as a game. I just feel enticed to play WoW again. Any comments would be great. thanks

[Jowpie21]

@SLIPBFMV if u feel like playing wow just go ahead and start playing, especially if u have some friends in Azeroth. Wouldn't start on rift for the reasons u brought up + it looks boring to play imo. And LoL owns

[ShonenJump90]

@Jowpie21 LoL?

[adolphjlj1]

@ShonenJump90 League of Legends, a Dota clone.

[nazi8per]

@SLIPBFMV MOBA is a dumb term invented by Riot to try and distinguish their game from their competitor.

[eloooooooful]

hah shitty rift go back to wow

[youpube1011]

Everytime i hear this song or your background music I always feel like watching Avatar the Last Airbender haha

[TheMadDragon]

Thank you for posting this Ciderhelm. I currently main a warrior on Rift.

[Shadowfolds]

I hope more people see this. I love tanking on my warrior and I've always loved your videos.

[Garflin]

@bringhorizon95 get mad!!

[hazz0r]

if i just could decide if its worth leaving WoW for RIFT....

[Direksone]

@hazz0r You can always try. It's an awesome game. I currently don't play it that much because I have other things going, but I really enjoy it. Just because it's a new fresh MMORPG.

[hazz0r]

@Direksone fresh and fresh, its still a WoW clone :/ like everthing else :P

[Direksone]

@hazz0r not really, its very different, the resemblence is the UI layout and the hotkeys, which plays very nicely. WoW is still an Everquest clone.

[hazz0r]

@Direksone ooo EQ, havnt played that for years but you are right on that point

[EmperorofCartoons]

@hazz0r WoW is an EQ clone, which itself is pretty much Ultima with better graphics.

[jadawin1998]

@hazz0r well i used to play hardcore wow.. rift currently for me is a nice change until blizz comes out with their new imba mmorpg

[hazz0r]

@jadawin1998 true, just hope it comes soon do

[Denmarkpwns]

@hazz0r really depends if you can find a nice guild in rift.

[russykh]

@hazz0r I believe there are trials floating around now - I'd honestly suggest seeking one out unless you dont mind cutting your losses on the price of the full game if you dont like it. Its really hard to say one way or the other, I know people that went in thinking they'd love it and ending up hating it, and people who really didnt think it would be better than wow, but ended up loving it. it depends what you are after from it. I would say its worth playing, but wont last me that long.

[hazz0r]

@russykh That is really the big thing, i dont want to sit there later and have spent 20 25 dollers on crap. Did that misstake with warhammer.

[jadawin1998]

:) thanks ciderhelm :) ehhe you got my message then ? :)

[Garflin]

OMG

...first?

[bringhorizon95]

@Garflin who gives a shit? its a RIFT video

[heartattackful]

@bringhorizon95 it is not about the game buddy.......it is about how cuderhelm presents any guide video

[korsvagen]

@bringhorizon95 then dont look and dont comment idiot!

[Vilelated]

@bringhorizon95 WoW is the candyland of MMO's, it's easy to learn, easy to play and has lots of bright colors. It is made for ages 6 and up.
