  • ща убьем)

  • i played wow for many years and i also now play rift... i like both each game has its own ups and downs... either way i enjoy rift and i enjoy wow its all about personal preference..

  • WoW is great.

    Rift is great.

    Biases need to be dropped.

  • Very complex fight. Thanks for the information!

  • @ 2:04: maybe I'm hearing it wrong, but does he say plants will die quicker with a paladin than they will with a warrior or rogue due to sp? Converted back to wow paladins use of sp maybe? I dunno maybe I'm just deaf, not moaning its a great strat! just a little thing I noticed

  • gj very helpful.  i like ur strat

  • Comment removed

  • im all about WoW but this is a very well done video. Thank you for the raid look into Rift.

  • its an easy fight its basically maloriak somewhat similar to the heroic encounter pretty simply

  • Comment removed

  • Great vid. Working on greenscale tonight. Wish us luck.

  • Wow, what a video. Loved watching it thanks Ciderhelm. Now i just run this in the background cause it's soothing :P

  • Awesome video:)

    

  • WHAT!?! bosses drop ledgandaries? that's pretty neat.

  • Good job on putting this video together. And seriously thank you this helps beyond measure. It is well thought out, planned and is very accurate on the information used, most appreciated.

  • @Greta Who the hell cares for another resurected boss....of yes wow faboys....dude we all played wow and we are sick of it, now go play ur game and we play ours.

    Oh yes last wow raid has another resurected boss...no suprise here ;)

  • Lol he says paladin instead of cleric

  • @Thefuhhinfoo your dumb. there are paladins in rift

  • @owatmehh I know but he meant to say cleric >.>

  • @Thefuhhinfoo oh then i feel dumb. sorry T__T

  • @owatmehh Meh no problem

  • Guild Wars 2 will pwn you all

  • Glad to see you back to making boss strats cider. Missed your thorough explanations throughout naxx and your rift guides are just as proffesional. MUCH THANKS!

  • What server do u play on m8?

  • @TheMoonscrupter He plays on Deepwood.

  • I like Rift and i like WoW, sue me.

  • @Frostshock09 Who knew! Me also!! =D /highfive

  • Mangaminx sent me here.

  • Great guide. To te comments blelow Lady Sin is a hell of a learning curve

  • We run a Cleric tank and have killed LGS 5 weeks in a row.

  • 600 000 people stopped playing wow in the last 6 months.... ;)

  • are there any drops for major relics in this instance like glyphed boots? every boss drops one?

  • @shadow16810 Hylas and Greenscale do; Letareus, Johlen and Aleria don't.

  • Are there really 77 dislikes on this video because people are mad about others playing Rift instead of WoW?? Thats just...plain stupid. Get over yourselves people.

  • @Lonestar1786 Dude every video gets dislikes for whatever reasons. Get over it.

  • this game is like wow...just not as good

  • @P4TTL1 no its not lol its nothing like wow u moron.

  • lol...Lore, who does a lot of the content videos now for this channel and who has since taken over Months Behind is like 8 or 9 / 13 heroic mode bosses and they raid 4 nights a week and consider themselves hardcore.... causals haven't killed Sinestra, and I would love to see you log on your character with the Sinestra achieve so I can see it...if its easy to get as a casual you should already have it or maybe you can get there in a couple of nights attempts...idiots

  • So I guess 71 wow fanboys hit the dislike for a great guide. Love how new wow people don't know how cider helm has helped the wow community with written guides from tankspot and then later with the best video strats. The man made it possible for casual people to finish content. Much appreciated

  • You'd hate to wipe at 1% on this fight O_O .. 20 minute fight..

  • The game caters to casuals and I personally think thats fine, as long as they keep putting content out for me to kill via heroic modes. Stop bashing WoW, enjoy RIFT because its a fun game, don't hate on other people who are enjoying another GOOD game, because WoW is good, and if nothing else extremely influential even in the development of your precious RIFT.

  • I love people bashing WoW and claiming they played during "Vanilla glory days." I've played WoW since release and what I can say is this. There IS more content for the casual players (aka normal modes) but there is still content for hardcore raiders. If you're not a hardcore raider you will not kill Sinestra, and I would go out on a limb and say most of the people bashing WoW as "too easy" have not killed nor even gotten close to Sinestra or even Heroic Nef.

  • @Grethalin Sinestra is easy. WoW has fallen way to far to even be brought back by fanboys like you.

  • @adolphjlj1 Sinestra is "easy" once you've practised it for a night or 2... like every other raid boss.

  • @Shugzilla Exacly. Casual players can get there easily, unlike what Grathalin stated.

  • @adolphjlj1 casual means they dont play too often and/or dont take WoW too seriously? Raiding to Sinestra takes dedication and knowing alot of aspects of the game quite well, casuals wont be there till we're in future tier content, if at all

  • @Shugzilla You just said it yourself. Casual doesn't mean the dont know how to play, or know the games mechanics. Which means Sinestra can be just as easy to casuals as to hardcore raiders. Thank you for your time.

  • Just out of curiosity, on what level would you put Sinestra in terms of vanilla level difficulty? By that I mean, just how long did it take for the very best guilds to beat Sinestra, after they had actually progressed to the point of being able to try her out on a daily basis? My guess is that it only took them around 3-4 days, making Sinestra rather ridiculously far from comparable to multiple bosses in vanilla. Just making an encounter gimmicky does not make it hard.

  • @Grethalin im not one of these people you are commenting about, but lore havent killed sinestra, wouldnt you call him a hardcore raider?

  • @Denmarkpwns First of all work on your grammar. Second of all lore raids more than the amount of time than would be qualified as hardcore, however yes he hasn't kill'd sinestra, or even chogall heroic, but that can be because of a list of reasons.

  • @WoWGabe85 i dont care about my grammar, and the fact that you use that as a part of you argument just shows that you know you have a weak argument.

    Plus, i didnt say he arent a hardcore raider, i think he is, i just think you analogy is flawed.

  • @Grethalin lol its because they all killed Nef years ago. They did this week after week. No one cares to kill him anymore including me. Rift > WoW

  • @Grethalin well it is time for people to move on and understand wow is a stepping stone in mmo and not surpose to be nr.1 forever.

    Its just when people play a game for 6 years its harder to move on, eigther from the time put in the char or the hidden group pressure raids have.

  • that looks similar to prot pally tanking

  • lol they even got LEgendary's ?

  • Lol this game looks like shit (not literally).

  • @h3avysoundz

    Did you even listening to what he said? He has all the settings on the lowest quality, you should see Rift with Medium/High/Maximum, its awesome and beautiful!

  • @xR45MU5x Did you even read what I said lololz nubcake.

  • lol wuld rate this shite lower than 1 if i could.

    get pwned by Kruunch more. umad WoW baddies?

  • Wow - Rift.

    Get over it

  • Excellent work.

  • There are a handful bugs in this encounter that have yet to be fixed. Multiple developers had reported they haven't seen them internally, yet footage and screenshots were sent in to them. Check out the bugs here: watch?v=Xq3vh-7JDy8

  • this guy invades every channel with his crap.. first the whole LoL thing on the other channel which i unsubed from and now rift on this chan.....

  • @redomg You do realize that this guy started Tankspot and such which is where Lore and Alienna spun their own shows from....right? I believe he can upload what he wants when he wants. If you don't like it, why did you even click the video?

  • @bigshane471 YEAH I DO .. as he said there will be no more WoW stuff on the other channel cause he will be uploading random stuff to it... then i didnt expect him to come and put his random stuff on this channel ... and i obviously clicked the video to make the comment

  • @redomg Well an easy way around this is when you see that he's posted a video on ZAM, don't watch it.

  • great job

  • Whooooo we missed you cider!!!!!!!!!!!

  • What souls/classes you used for this Boss-fight?

  • so, pretty much like wow, just more shit

  • Obviously I meant Cataclysm, not Catacombs. <.<

  • Awesome. Looks like a fun thing to do when waiting for raid reset in wow.

  • Wow wanabe

  • @xFuN17 SO'S YOUR FACE! Except not as polished.

  • I don't subscribe to ZAM to see rift.. I want Lore

  • So many things in one fight. That makes it really interesting and kind of hard in a way. You didn't have that long video explaining WoW fight. BTW is there a Free Trial for Rift? Seems good, but overall I wouldn't blindly buy a game that I haven't tried out.

  • Greenscale is a hard motherfucker

  • Thanks Cider - Another excellent video, it's appreciated.

  • STFU CHRIS CHRISTIE

  • @jalomieli222 Get a better sound card scrub

  • I cant hear shit, thanks to that stupid music.

  • Great video Cider. Ignore the trolls, your work is appreciated. Looking forward to River of Souls videos.

    Btw, your other videos you seemed able to record with moderate to high video settings. Mind if I ask what your system specs are that you had to drop them so low for this video? Just curious.

    Thanks keep up the great work!

  • The only thing i really dislike about rift is that they slacked to actually paint all the npc models with more then 2 colours, cus now they look like an early alfa models.

  • these coments are a derp fest.

  • Why are people getting mad over this? I don't understand.

  • @griskrister hes irish american

  • your mask looks like a cat

  • I dont play Rift, but the video seems really good, it explane boss mechanics, raid composition, tanks, healing, dps, adds, everything. I dont see why you people hatin on it, really.

  • Thx for uploading this Ciderhelm.

    I've been a fan of you since i first watch your video's on Tankspot.

    A few friends of our guild (in WoW) started to play Rift and i was thinking of giving it a try myself but after i've seen this fight i'm sure i will NOT give Rift a try.

    Sorry to say but it looks Horrible, boss looks like a green blob shaking his body and the rest looks a bit stiff.

    WOW ftw :)

  • @Kaffaar1 looks horrible because he has his settings all the way down, which I noticed him say.

  • Well we know what ciderhelm has been doing with his time after that long spheel last year.

  • @GamerLCD you mean working hard on zam, and then 3 months ago when beta for this game started wanted to try a better game?

    he is still tankspots admin dumbass

  • nasal voice.

  • Thanks for a great guide Ciderhelm. After watching this we managed to fine tune our tactics and finally down the green lizard for the first time. :]

    Keep up the great work. :)

  • @nickcaaaa wow, you're so cool. I wish I was you. Cata baby? Lmao

  • w... Wh... WHAT????? RIFT??? Cool game and all, just never thought it would happen :P haha

  • He's back! Missed your guides, sucks it's not for WoW though =/

  • It did take 21 minutes, but most of that time was spent reiterating points you had already made and going over what the raid comp should be, how raid cooldowns work and other basic things people already know in WoW.

  • Rift is a better hardcore MMO than Cataclysm right now. It reminds me of vanilla WoW and the only people who dont agree with that statement are Wrath babies because they are used to getting things easy. For all the hardcore wow players that started in Vanilla/TBC i recommend Rift because it brings us back to those hardcore days. Fuck all wrath babies and cata babies RIFT FTW

  • @nickcaaaa i'v been in WoW since very early vanilla and raided high end content within every expansion.

    i'v also played rift and i have no interest in it, making a statement that anyone that doesn't agree with you is a "wrath baby" is just idiotic.

  • @nickcaaaa I've played since vanilla and have been in end-game raiding guilds my whole wow "life", and I have to completely disagree with what you've said. My only reason is that its cause its completely false. More guilds cleared the first Tier of vanilla raiding then guilds did of heroic in the first tier of cata raiding.

  • @re1gn1te and guess what its because it was difficult, and watch THEY WILL nerf it. a blue said they believe anyone should be able to kill any heroic boss, they SAID heroic is way to hard. when it is perfect.

  • @Dasconscripts Yeah they'll nerff it when 4.2 comes out or is about to come out so that scrub guilds can kill off 12/12 normal and more can get 13/13H. Then the new heroics will be just as hard if not harder, then the same thing will happen, they get nerffed over time so more people can kill em. Anyways WoW is just a much better game then Rift.

  • @nickcaaaa Been playing WoW since 4th week of release, and i have found Cata's heroic modes (sindra especially) harder than most vanilla content.

  • @nickcaaaa Apart from Nax.

  • @Pottsy194 Naxx wasnt that incredibly difficult, it was probably on par with most cata heroics before they got nerfed. And certainly easier than sunwell.

  • @TheWoWGrind I haven't played Catacombs, but I did clear all vanilla content back in the day. As such I'm not sure how you felt Sunwell was harder than Naxxramas. As I recall, Maexxna excluded, I felt every quarter final boss in Naxxramas was a tougher challenge than anything put forth in the Sunwell. We certainly spent more time wiping on the final few bosses bosses in Naxx than we spent on anything since, Sunwell included.

  • @nickcaaaa Thanks for your input Mr. Hardcore MMO player. You're opinion totally means more to me knowing that you were so pro back in the day and that WoW has just gotten too easy for you. The mechanics of these bosses suck and you know it. Phases 1-X on every boss in this raid are the same shit, P1-X add comes out, deal with it. P2- Y add comes out, deal with it, P3-X,Y adds both come out, deal with it. Get your grades up and ask for WoW back, stop trying to justify you're purchase of this.

  • @Yourmom12371 U mad? Your probably a Wrath baby or just a Fan boy ... WoW is bad, its for the casual player like you.I am a Hardcore mmo player been since day one, have fun with your new 7 boss raid and re-hashed content.

  • @nickcaaaa hardcore would be playing lineage 2 .. where it takes like 2yrs to get to max lvl ~_~

  • @nickcaaaa calm down

  • WOW

  • Nice guide Cider, but you may want to increase brightness for the Rift videos. Visibility is not too great.

  • This boss looks horrible.

  • @JonO387

    Were you completely oblivious to the first 30 seconds or what?

  • @tkpintj No matter the graphics settings, it still looks like a big green blob with legs and shit. Horrible.

  • ciderhelm is shooting down trolls too. WINNING

  • holy crap, ciderhelm is back?!!

    

  • And how he's posting HIS videos on Zam.....that makes me sad.

  • yo fuck that game

  • FUCKING RIFT, HOW DOES IT WORK???

  • Resistance is futile Ciderhelm. Now go start playing WoW again! :)

  • lol that guy spyre keeps dying :D

  • Damn rift looks cool I can't wait till I get a new comp to play

  • Really miss your Wow guide Cider. I do not even play rift anymore (level 37 lol) but I watched because I enjoy your videos!!!!!

  • Join Good Fellas on burning leigon server. we are only lvl 1 @ 57% but looking to fill 5 and 10 man team to start raiding. apply pm or message Duinit, andrah, firecrotchy. WE NEED PEOPLE!

  • 20 mins to kill a single boss....fuck that fucking sucks

  • @xDrxRalphx This is a really heavily edited video. The boss is about 8-9 minutes on a fast kill, 12 minutes for newer guilds. It's an extremely complex boss, mechanically speaking, which required me to narrate a much longer video.

  • @ZAMOfficial ahhhh go figure :P

  • @xDrxRalphx lich king took over 20minutes to kill aswell

  • @sexftw i dont recall it taking that long but then again i didnt start raiding ICC till that whole 30% buff shit happened so i wouldnt know.

  • @xDrxRalphx im pretty sure if u gave them 30% buff it wouldn't take this long either

  • @xDrxRalphx even if it took him 20 mins to kill him thats nothing...Illidan took up to 25 mins when he first came out. Granted i know it's a different game but they both follow the same basic build for their end game content

  • @Theas33 i never had the privilege of ever doing illidan or any sort of old wow content before obviously the max level made it a faceroll so i did not know that.

  • @xDrxRalphx Illidan used to take 20 minutes to kill

  • never had the privilege of fight illidan back in the day...im sorta stuck with what we got now >.<

    

  • @xDrxRalphx if you want to AOE down a boss in 10 sec flat then WoW is your game

  • @Vakrian maybe old content but the newer stuff granted its not some amazing omfg piece of work, it still takes a slight bit of using or brain lmfao silly blizzard

  • @xDrxRalphx whooooaaa good job NOT watching the video.

  • @Dasconscripts well i dont play rift i just watched it sorta bc ciderhelm is the bomb, if u want tell the developers of rift to make it for mac and i will play it :P

  • @VelaStorm7 Yep, I just took 21 minutes to describe a basic tank n spank encounter. You're an idiot.

  • @ZAMOfficial Ya but you were explaining the smallest details, tank positioning on knockbacks? tank types? healer types? Face it, it's a simple fight, you drug it out way to long.

  • @xXAkirhaXx you forget that this game requires prescision not like wow where its bassicly HERP DERP OH I ATE A INSTAGIB THATS FINE MY PALLY BUBBLE AND STOLE THE DAMAGE HERP DERP, BLIZZ NERF CONTENT MOAR NEFARION KILLED ME, THATS NOT COOL HERP

  • @Dasconscripts A rift fanboy responds in caps and nonsense. Why am I not surprised. Have fun in Rift loser.

  • @xXAkirhaXx AT LEAST i have proof in my statements also how am i a rift fanboy i dont play rift either, but rift beta was smother then any wow related content on release, no super buggy bosses *cough*sinestra*cough*.

    i play sc2 Anarchy online and ddo, ALL superior games to wow and rift imo

  • Comment removed

  • Did i not unsubscribe Ciderhelm to get rid of these Rift videos? :S

  • pure wow copy?

  • LOL end tier boss raiding boss, what a massive joke. come back when your game requires skill.

  • @Zellopop pve has never required "skill" just the ability to do your basic rotation and listen to your raidleader.

  • god damn this games raids look awesome!

  • thank you ciderhelm, i'm going to go and buy rift now :)

  • jump start hellz yeah

  • LOL I love all the kids getting mad cause there is something that is not wow related on this channel. Grow up children.

  • @updog1989 This happens to every youtuber that made wow videos in the past and decides to play another game in their lifetime.

  • I can understand why people quit WoW, but i don't have any idea why you would unsub WoW and start playing this instead...

    It really is just a clone if you ask me.

  • @shadioow Because it's new and still different. Players got bored of Azeroth. Plain and simple.

  • @shadioow WoW was just a clone of other games before it! Doesn't mean it's not good! Nearly every mechanic in WoW came from other games! They just polished it well.

    And btw, Rifts is really fun and interesting! Just because it isn't WoW, don't thumb it down and cry foul.

  • @Talon21 It isn't a "clone" if it takes an aspect and PERFECTS it to the point it isn't recognizable in it's abilities.

  • @OperationCheese It's easily recognizable if you actually played anything but WoW. And yes it still is a clone. Just better makeup.

    But I agree that wow polishes functions very well. But lets not forget that they usually don't start that way. Most of their 'great' functions were mods that they eventually integrated into their ui. They've had 8years to work on it!

  • @Talon21 WoW took aspects from EQ and other MMOs from that period of time and made them so much better that it had an instant cult following. Those same MMOs they took aspects from and made better are either dead or F2P with cash options.

  • @OperationCheese They had an instant cult following because they had three, (3), Tres, hightly successful games, Warcraft, 2, &3. THAT is what made it a cult following. If you were there for vanilla wow, especially it's launch and first 6months, you'd know it wasn't the great savior you make it to be. Yes, it was good, very good for it's generation, but it also had a company with the resources of Diablo, Warcraft funding it.

    Those others are 'dead' because their nearly 16 to 20 years old!

  • @shadioow WoW is just a clone of games before it! And all the mechanics are copied from other games. What matters is if they do it well.

  • ciderhelm, your ability to read scripts is impressive, i appreciate it even if i don't play rift it was an enjoyable video

  • I don't play rift, and probably won't play it in the foreseeable future, but I still like your videos Ciderhelm.

  • fuck this shit, i played rift, it sucks, biggest waste of money ever, atleast wow is fun

  • @TheJuxtaposedKing WoW is not fun! It's just sit in ques forever, collect free 'badges' and rinse 100 times to get gear.

    Rift is actually interesting! Interactive environment events?! Yeah, wow doesn't have that. And the classes are very versatile and have far more customization. There is nothing customizable about WoW talents. You're either the correct talent spec, or your garbage at your class and a waste of a raid/party slot.

  • Thought this was a WoW channel. Is this going to be another channel I have to unsubscribe?
