[MSgtBooth1212]

[FailNuke]

when i did this raid the raid leader described the mangle part in such a funny way:

RL:so hes gonna eat you and then 2 guys are gonna have to ride him and use an ability to chain him to that spike

Tank:so wait hes going to eat me while 2 guys ride him O.o

[meatb4g]

win for druzzak and helpful vid thx

[Eatfood04]

so where do the green arrows pop up for meele?

[Lingpwns]

perfect movie, perfect music, perfect cast

5/5

[lamees122]

HOW TO KNOW THE LOCATION OF ADDS so i can use my ice trap?

[m4xfl4xst4r]

@lamees122 The adds are cast upon a target . The person furthest away at about 15 yards ( ish ). In the vid they clump the whole group. This is not needed and the movement wastes dps and hps. A hunter( ideal ) or frostmage etc should be alone out there, the worm will spawn at his location. Ice trap or talented ice storm will do nicely. They cannot be stopped only slowed. all range focus the worms, and repeat on recast. The worms are the ultimate mechanic here, the boss is secondary.

[lamees122]

@m4xfl4xst4r ah and the adds will spawn after cast Pillar of Flame in 4 sec!! but how u make sure that boss wil cast Pillar of Flame on me ! maybe he gona cast it on grp instead? xd ;3

[TFDwow]

@lamees122 the boss will cast pillar of flame on the target who is more far away from him, so thats why the ranged are in blue and green instead of melee range....

[m4xfl4xst4r]

@lamees122 stand further back than they are. thats it.

[m4xfl4xst4r]

@lamees122 but stay at about 15 yards or he will ignore you and target in if youre too far

[pHaZe017]

im sure ive this song off FFVIII during battle phases.lol

[ccaldwell84]

What's the name of the mod he's using to say where to stand?

[A1LTOBEG0DLY16]

@ccaldwell84 Its a blizz addon,use the side panel raid thingy to use it.

[NrGFilmss]

Haha, you people do realise this game takes over your life literally and you will be an obese bastard with no job living with your mum.

[Myhealscrit]

@NrGFilmss Why are you watching it then cock blocker?

[malo626]

i just wipe 3 times in a pug group!

[framar601]

Love ur crappy drawings^^!

[mikal1908]

Wow, this was soo good explained. You made it sound so easy.

[Jensleo78]

Bad tac....to much unessecery movement:P

[xynathegamer]

Tankspot, OMFGCATA and totalhalibut are the best boss comentators out there

[coolMcandersen]

Great video Helped alot!

[rhinoMCD]

You've probly heard this a million times before me but you really gotta use some mods man. especially for healing. having to look up to the upper left corner to moniter health is terrible. get into the habit of looking in the center of the screen so you can watch for fire/voidzones. i personally use a setup similar to tankspot's aliena

[camkocik23]

i do not like

[simse64]

Hmm why didn't i find you before on youtube! :s

[leminer10]

Had him down to 11% last night...

[brianfenris]

Sorry to ask the same question again, but what is the name of the addon you used to put the marks on the floor and where can I find it. Thanks.

[Godmaster1]

@brianfenris he already said in uploader comments that it a blizzard ingame addon... only leader and assist can put them

[DrCaboom]

What is the song name :)

[OMFGcata]

@DrCaboom Black Mages - Man with the Machine gun

[Zaxxarius]

@OMFGcata <3

[reelbigfishys]

@OMFGcata Go FF8!

[w00t3rpl3x3r]

@DrCaboom MEGA MAN MUSIC!!! <3333

[NSmangamylife1]

@w00t3rpl3x3r Mega wrong.

[w00t3rpl3x3r]

@NSmangamylife1 yea it was a joke lol >.>

[dengz99]

lol love the laguna battle bgm

[durbinh]

Thumbs Up for fan whisper's during raid boss fights!

[TheNdoki]

Okay, a noob question for someone who hasn't run it (yet!). Are the glowing symbols on the ground an addon, or blizz implemented?

Oh, and gotta love the god of war hydra fight ripoff.

[OMFGcata]

@TheNdoki it's an in game addon blizz made to help players out...in this case, figure out where to stand.

[kyelleke2]

@TheNdoki the addon is called Markingbar

[sulsaboy]

@TheNdoki This isnt a Hydra rip off...it's a boss ripoff from legend of zelda wind waker the first boss in the game in that fire dungeon ><

[hojdnatir]

My guild still can't down Magmaw, our healers just can't keep up with the damage output. Maybe we're just terrible?

[janmtg90]

@hojdnatir depends how many healers you are using. If you're already using 3 and you still can't keep up then you should gear up a little more. If you're only using 2 then you might want to get 1 dps to switch to healing

[rubntizzug]

Man i love this music Swiss "Metal "Cheese thanks for the vids they are the Kind

[Linkforlife199]

I can't help but feel sorry for Magmaw, having his head repeatidly rammed onto a spike.

[rhylast]

LMAO i love the voice and the crappy drawings <3

[rormeister]

Jesse, what's the name of that song? It's awesome!

[MrDrui]

very awesome done :)

[Alpha0727]

Really? There was a WoW Gold ad at the start of your video. I am not sure if there is anything you can do about it but just thought I would let you know.

[MournEternally]

Not only are Jesse's strategy vids always simple and informative, they always have awesome music. Good stuff!

[lamalas60]

The guy who whispers him in the middle of fight just whipers him the exact same message right at the end of the fight! 7:09 around its there for like half a second, wierd huh :D

[Gilgamesh11]

lol i love how someone whispers you through the fight telling you how much they love your vids :D

[blankntank]

great video man supscribed!!

[Iog1O]

dodge,duck, dip, dive and dodge!

[TheTruthx34]

Lol I love the guy that wispered you in the fight.

[buker420]

I can't tell is that a megaman x tune you play during the fast speed boss kill?!!?!?!?

[Iatedave]

@buker420 if you mean the end part its the black mages version of Laguna's theme in Final Fantasy 8 The Black Mages - Man With The Machine Gun.

[buker420]

@Iatedave YES i knew i heard this somewhere, but i'm so into retro games these days i just couldn't figure it out, and LOTS of the newer megaman X games for ps2 have some pretty good stuff, but now that you told me ITS SO OBVIOUS OMG i fuckin love laguna, and the dumb fat guy lmao can't remember his name but he has a big polearm.

[alextime1000]

Whats the short into song he always uses?

[pothel1]

You forgot to explain about the steam, and how it kills you :O

[jimmycallaghanbanger]

what actually happened to make him slam down on melee side once? around 5:36

[jimmycallaghanbanger]

is that sum sped up FF8 music? awesome.

[SuperFriendlie]

Thank god, finally a video thats not some fast forward addon showoff with someone mumbling over awful techno music, thought I wasn't going to find a good video such as yours - keep up the good work.

[DruggyBoy]

1 or 2 tanks?

[Lilvenom3]

What's the name of that song? That's some epic guitar stuff right there :D

[bgoodrick]

Are the 2 mele required? Or is that just a convenience? Could a caster also jump onto him and press the special hook ability just the same? Just curious because sometimes we're low on melee. Thanks :)

[Mrogge1994]

Thanks Jesse, ur the best to explain how the boss mechanics work!

[Mrogge1994]

Thanks Jessie, ur the best to explain how the boss mechanics work!

[rogralla]

Word of advice as a shammy healer when u have time to DPS u should be speced into when u cast lighting bolt it gives u mana. You would have been much more mana efficient and ended closer to 75%+ mana

[MegaCraving]

i fucking love your strats

[Agitationhohnlohn]

may i ask why you are standing at th emelee camp? We tried him (with tooo much melees, will change that today) and the melee healer stand with the rest of the camp outside

[fallowsword]

WIped 17%......

[Sagdashin]

better than tankspot

[Duality1]

<--Wiped on 50%,Why?..The AOE damage (not Pillar of flame, he just spits out fire) and healers couldn't take it.

[bjferret]

im a dps boomkin, how the hell do yall conserve mana so efficiently on this fight?

[HiRAx999]

Jesse are you using mouseover macros??

[brad0544]

@HiRAx999 I would guess Clique.

[dundermuppen]

Man all i see is healing waves, if any1 could tell me how that is possible :S? im shaman healer, 342 ilvl. Raided icc 25 and 10 hc in wotlk so i know resto shamans. If any1 could answer me this i'd be really greatful. ( great vid :)

[evangelism2]

@TheHanplay1998 short answer: yes.

But he is also not maxing his character based on the comments and my fellow healers in raids, ie. doing a few things wrong. I am a holy paladin and I can manage my mana pretty well, meaning I don't go oom, as long as the deeps aren't being retarded.

[FroshPresents]

srsly.. from wich game (?) is the song in the beginning from?

[FeelTehBurn]

@FroshPresents

The Apocalypse Will Arrive On A NES Cartridge by GRiMM /

type that into youtube

[Chapsu911]

im a lvl 20 tauren paladin, should i get tank or should i just b like a warrior?

[SPANISHROCK88]

looks pretty simple,thanks Jesse

[trantwd]

Nice video. Knowledge is power! Thank you.

[ADML101]

bluexephos hasa much better tactic

[SirNumu]

@ADML101 Yeh

[yesiinhale]

only thing better than your video is a steak-tastes-better pill.

[Cubexification]

this boss fight remids me of God Of War ^.^

[healer9999]

I would like to inform you - as one Restoration Shaman to another - that if you spec for Telluric Currents you can gain full mana on every Exposed Head phase by spamming LB's.

[StormBladeWoW]

How do you put down the Triangle's and Square's and shit.

[billabongcheetos]

well, now i know what me and my guild did wrong tonight, heh

[talkinggibberish]

Yogscast told me to come here

[Killstuffyeah]

Ty for the explanation, simple and too the point. Well done! And nice kill as well.

[imthealien2000]

Always like the Intro:D

[TheZookiy]

Loving that guitar solo and generally the entire song

[jkazos]

Cute drawing and best music to date.

[Darkro677]

Awsome choice of music :DD

[803brando]

oom before 75%? i dont get how the hell thats suppose to work.

[wallraven55]

u said this was the first encounter in bwd but its one of 2...

[akiman89]

second Black mages song I've heard from you great taste also can shamans not battle rez?

[akiman89]

second Black mages song I've heard from you great taste

[darkenmax]

yooo jes miester during the part where hes stuck on the spike, you should use lightning bolt to gain some mana, looks like you were pretty low for the whole fight:P

[OMFGcata]

@mcqualter Thanks for the view :)

[theluckylock]

@OMFGcata

Just a tip: spec into "Telluric Currents" for this fight as a resto shaman. Even one point will help SO MUCH! Becaus not only do you help out with the dmg druing his downtime (when he is stuck on the spike) u gain a sh*t load of mana back since he has a "takes extra dmg" debuff when he is on the spike. And its allot more fun than just standing around waiting for mana to regen ^^

[Zaxxarius]

@OMFGcata Dude, you're awesome and everything, but you really should slap those trolls xD

[YamiPoyo]

@mcqualter Only a fag sees fagyness in others

[deathgiver365]

I wonder if jesse got the shammy belt hmm

[eldiablo303]

The random Felguard at ~3:50 made me lol hard.

[ksipe4]

Nice job, perfect amount of detail

Ya how do you get these songs?

[ksipe4]

Nice job, perfect amount of detail

[Stormwrench]

Holy crap! What is that song?! It's awesome :D

[gonizar12]

More of tactic's videos, so easy to understand! :D

[MrCosstello]

Man, I'm sure it's flattering to have people send you nice tells wishing you luck in game like that and telling you they're a fan but I'm sure it must get somewhat annoying when it's at a time like that when you need to focus. Yay for the DBM bossfight tell.

And I like the simple explanations. lol

[NinjaScarab]

@OMFGcata not realted to the video but why do you always hate on bloodelfs? :(

[EdinMysterio]

TotalBiscuit>Jesse Cox

[projectreject95]

@EdinMysterio cant compare them their both great in diffenent ways.

[grantab15]

the man with the machine gun pwns bugs easily :)

[kira8975]

How many healers do u have in this fight?

[kevin20061000]

I love how you showed loot. Can you show dps too just to give us an idea of what we should be doing?

[OMFGcata]

@kevin20061000 I'll show DPS on the next boss video.

[kevin20061000]

@OMFGcata Thanks :)

[Zaxxarius]

@OMFGcata I fantasize about you.

[nq2f]

@kevin20061000 my friend ran it and the lowest dps was 12k

[Dynikus]

@kevin20061000 around 10k+ should be good enough.

[TheYoungKISSER]

lol i JUST took magmaw down..im on youtube cuz we have a bio break 5min ;p took us 5 tries but we got it ;p oh and its a PuG btw

[wodderwing2]

hey jesse there is another rediculously easy strat for this boss. have all ranged and healers stack w/ melee and have one dps or healer run out or stay solo in the ranged area.the lava spout spawns on the one person, and rest can start aoe immediately instead of having to run or fail and get hit by spout. less risk of deaths and mobs go down faster.

[RioTFF]

Thumbs up if you keep the video going after the explanation just to listen to the music.

[suomiprkle]

i wish that i would have as clean ui. well what can ya do when u have a warlock? nothing... to anything or anybody. My gosh Nerzzzzzzz i hate nerfzzzzz

[PureChaos227]

@suomiprkle LUI is a very simple clean UI

[finalsyatnaf]

Each time i watch ure videos i feel as if ure explaining it to a 10 yr old.

[OMFGcata]

@finalsyatnaf but you completely understand what to do right? That'st he point... when I watch videos of people trying to explain a fight while playing fast forwarded video over techno beats I am 1. annoyed and 2. confused. I would rather explain it so you think I'm doing to below you, rather than above your head.

[yaanimerules]

@OMFGcata did you get waist?

[finalsyatnaf]

@OMFGcata

Im just saying u shouldnt go into so much detail.

[Feldoom]

@OMFGcata I fucking love the way you explain fights. KEEP DOIN' EM LIKE THIS FOREVA! And your a great artist. ;D

[Shaeamful]

@OMFGcata Don't forget the low pitched voices.

[Canseenox]

@finalsyatnaf judging by your spelling, you are a ten year old

[Turdinator7]

@finalsyatnaf If your immature like me though you get bored and stop listening with tankspots guides

[Skylight00000]

This boss took us 4 hours of attempts to nail. 2 attempts were 1 and 2%. Eventually we got it. Blehhhhhh

[CRUZEIROFUTBOLCLUBE]

looks like god of war

[dekured]

This is a pretty Grim fight lol, impaling a giant fire worm through the head with a spike

[Hurt646]

How come you don't use mana potions? It seems obvious that shamans are having mana problems atm, and therefore it might be necessary to get some potions, to help things along. Great video btw.
