TankSpot's Guide to Icecrown Blood Princes (25-man)

[deubie0211]

outdated and repetitive and full of snotty noised selfish pricks who make there own rules:)

[mattrixist]

umm can you tell me how much chars u are using ... i mean how much dps tank healer and the others.... i'll be making a rade this days and I want to know plss tell me

[arlinda55]

The background music just makes it harder to understand the voice over and adds nothing to the video.

[halberkstresser]

@arlinda55 - says the critical douche......i didn't even hear the music till you mentioned. calm down

[azizpc395]

OMG

[MachineOperatedBot]

Tankspot sucks.

"blatrsuhs tarnetn movie subscirbe more sijtanrtritj Blood prince sdoaksd COUNCIL ENcuntr kaoskd"

The fuck man? ._.

[Kroxigor777]

talk fucking louder jesus christ

[kissinglips69]

I don't like criticising someone who has put the effort in, but the audio really is very, very weak. It's almost like you only half-understand the encounter yourself (I'm sure you do understand it, but it's not conveyed at all in this vid).

[SoccerMr8]

Holy shit just get to he fucking fight...who the fuck cares about everything else?? Honestly how many people actually do what they ask at the beginning?

[Kiriana]

jeeeez....I dont know if I wanna do this fight

[DrKhelps]

can somone PM me the tactics for me. What i have to do as a hunter please :)

[R4Rich3rd]

Constructive criticism- Need waaay more info on these fights.

[Futil3]

Your voice is very annoying. More 'matter-of-fact' less weird annunciation. There are no opinions here, this is a factual guide meant to relay facts and figures about this encounter.

[hordefolower]

lol they outgeared them

[ImmaculateRecovery]

the tankspot guides of recent are more confusing than reading the strat...

[mikecasey11]

hi, i would like to know why or how ur mage in this video is a wolf/worgen?

[donkeyhead95]

@mikecasey11 its a druid

[iliketoludde]

@mikecasey11

XD

[conquery]

This was not helpful in any way, and secondly speak up not only can i barely hear u but u really dont speak good english.

[zephyr3x3]

@conquery 'speak english well' yeah....

[liquidpoizon]

why would you NOT have a detailed description of mechanics? i'm pretty sure that's why we come to tankspot for guidance, is a detailed description of mechanics on fights..

[pcmm1234]

ok so wtf happens in this fight

[cleanfor]

ya this guys sucks

[Rizilliant]

tis dude goes to EVERY tankspot vid, and drop negative comments...wonder if hes got a competeing site? eh Hollow?

[scurvylizard]

very bad video guys

[wolfsword69master]

im sorry but i cannot stand it when darksend does these videos... i prefer aliena or thegreatme.. darksend puts too much emphasis on some words and it gets annoying sometimes.. also he goes just a bit too fast for me.. even though this is the BPC video if you look at the LK video its like.. WAIT.. WHAT?? every 2 secs..

[thehoundsquad]

@wolfsword69master  Lore also does very good

[wolfsword69master]

@thehoundsquad yeah lore is great.. but i prefer aliena more because her videos are from a healers perspective and its easier for me because i am also a priest healer

[thehoundsquad]

@wolfsword69master yea i see what you mean, but imo Ciderhelm was awesome too cus i have a tank, but i like Lore too cus he is a dps same with thegreatme, but im also leveling a preist :P

[wolfsword69master]

@thehoundsquad i guess they are all good depending on what you play as. I wonder what happened to Ciderhelm. I haven't seen him make one of these since ulduar.

[thehoundsquad]

@wolfsword69master yea but he was in a christmas special, maybe he is taking time off

[wolfsword69master]

@thehoundsquad hmm.. probably

[heavenlybastard]

actualy i afree with 'hollowsquare' this commentary wise could have been simplified as most people ain the brightest ;-)

[OriMedian]

This is a total hectic fight, It's really cool. Alot of running and shait

[310BPM]

video doesn't correspond with the commentary, that's my only problem.

[scurvylizard]

this is very unhelpful, very bad job guys

[xPlottzx]

I like him more than this chick.

[Xedome]

American english gets very blurry when you speak fast it seems. Would be better with a clear voice on tankspot's guides so you get time to pick up all the necessities.

[mit871chell]

I can't stand when this guy talks, every time i have to read the transcripts, please quit doing these, you sound every time like your asking a question.

[Killerwing1]

Nice Video. Keep them coming;) GJ;)

[BoPeekaBoo]

I never have any problem with watching the videos or any problem hearing him speak.

[sirbeefofmatt]

Everytime I watch a Tankspot Video is freezes up constantly for me. This never happens to me for any other video.

[ezlo90]

Here is a nice tip, If u are a hunter. Send ur pet onto the bombs, the pets will stay underneath them, and damage them till they dissapear.

(and this will prob work with an unholy DK goul, or lock pet)

[Durrelito]

sigh, can u learn to speak up? hard to hear you, only way to find out what to do is to watch the video, and guess -.-

let aliena do all these videos istead!

[66gt40lm]

@Durrelito You dumbshit virgins. You all only wanna hear Aliena cause she has a vagina. Fuck off, he did fine explaining the fight and I could hear everything he said. Here is a suggestion: turn your fucking volume up.

Stupid virgin.

[Durrelito]

@66gt40lm Seriously, if people thinks that Aliena is better at this than this guy, let us think that!

And calling people virgins is just a sign of ur own lack of sex -.-

Imo, he did ok, but alot was unclear wich i think aliena would have made clear!

Stop be so angry and go out with a girl or something... stupid 15yo -.-

[66gt40lm]

@Durrelito You can think she's better all you want, but I was merely telling you WHY you think that. You people all bitch about everything in these vids, and the only reason I can figure she is "the best" is cause she has a vagina and she plays wow. Nothing was unclear, and Aliena wouldn't have done a better job making it clearer.

Stupid virgins.

Calling people 15 year olds is a sign that you yourself are also 15 I guess, right? That's what I thought, stfu and stop obsessing over an e-girl.

[Durrelito]

@66gt40lm actully typing ANOTHER answer to the same "problem" is below my dignity, but i will tell you this: I have one opinion, u have one, let's just keep it at that and stop calling eachother virgins etc! -.-

[Aftershock188]

Hey there, please can someone tell me what addon he is using for his Nameplates? Thanks

[pounchoutz]

Now that im seeing all these videos i kinda wish i rolled a ranged dps thers like no strat for them lol

[TheBl4ir]

@jojjeforsberg

Aliena is a healer

Thegreatme is DPS warr

Lore is ret paladin.

they are not all tanks

[JojjeForsberg]

I hate that every time tankspot is creating a guide it's always a damn tank playin..

[ByTheWay22]

thats why its called TANKspot

[JojjeForsberg]

@ByTheWay22 Well it doesnt exist any guide with the name meleedpsspot. So in the future maybe some melee could make a guide ?

[ByTheWay22]

@JojjeForsberg yea indeed but anyways there are some movies that shows healer part eventho they explaining tactics for all raid not only tank, besides that i saw some movies again that was a rogue or something like that so there are movies that are made from the wiew of healer or dps....beside that, again i say, they basically explain tactics and they show a practic way to do it so it wont be booring just reading them...

[TheRedGuy9]

I don't think Aliena (a priest) is a tank..... and she does a shitload of guides.....

[ZorroForYou]

HAHAH tank spot

[eyesack9]

@JojjeForsberg LOL

[BrokenTicket]

I miss the female explainer. D:

[Arleer157]

@BrokenTicket

are you kidding me? I can't understand a damn thing she's saying, and her microphone sucks.

[BrokenTicket]

@Arleer157

Then you obviously can't hear. =)

[thewolfthi]

This is hard lol :O

[dthsythehell]

damn thats a lot of mods cluttering the screen... i cant even hardly see whats happening in the fight cause so many things keep popping up :(

[Danzeter309]

i cant understand this guy very clear...he kinda interrupt his self when he talks

[roltthehunter]

I would like to ask something. The balls in the Corner ( think it was the top right. If you look at it from the door) were bugging they just kept falling and they would not go up. Is this a known bug or just something that happend to us?.

[antietam111]

What healing addon do you guys use ... it doesnt look like healbot ?

[ElchinMendes]

god you fucking retard why are you reading everyone wowhead has to say about the boss

i can do that too you know...

hi my name darksent and in this video ill be showing bla bla

-COPY PASTE FROM WOWHEAD

blood princes will light orbs warlock here tank there i will discuss this later...

- Thank you for watching this retarded and pointless video, feel free to ignore what we're typing in the links to your right....

[roltthehunter]

Your a jackass he is in one of the best guilds in the world. He downed this befor most of the people on wowhead did you jackoff.

[ElchinMendes]

jackass, jackoff...what are you 8?

[roltthehunter]

Nice come back i like to see how you made no points just a ad hominem . You truly are a jackass.

[ElchinMendes]

L2S much?

[roltthehunter]

I bet you don't even know what a ah hominem is. It's almost sad how stupid you are.

[ElchinMendes]

its ad hominem u moron and its basically an argument -_-

[roltthehunter]

You are so fucking stupid. you still don't get it it's kinda sad you must be a teenie. all you can do is call me out on a typo how weak is that.

[ElchinMendes]

yes u can say im a "teenie" atleast im not some old fart whos gono die soon so he goes and plays wow :)

[Hytos]

@ElchinMendes

Actually, an Ad Hominem argument is an attack or argument against a person instead of what they represent. Instead of refuting what he said, you resorted to attacking his intelligence.

On Topic: Great video. My guild is moving to Blood Princes pretty soon and this helped me tremendously!

[ElchinMendes]

wikipedia much?

dude ur just sad copying and pasting with a little difference

[Hytos]

@ElchinMendes

To be honest, I don't use wikipedia at all. I know what Ad Hominem argumentum is because I've learned it in class and because I was on a debate team in high school. Just because someone knows something doesn't mean they just looked it up on Wikipedia.

[tharagonn]

@Hytos

LOL debate team hahahahahahhaha NERD

[Klappeti]

@ElchinMendes wikipedia doesn't post boss strategies!

[felix123123]

meh i dont get a shit , cant someone break down this in words?

[roltthehunter]

Do you mean the fight. Or what the guy is saying?. There is a transcript for the video on tank spot. And there is a good but very long boss guide on BossKillers. It's worth a look imo.

[xxD4rK3lFxx]

thaks for your video very helpfull m8t ...

[Kronos51]

@spanish10214 Try reading 5 minutes of detailed explanations smoothly from memory some time.

[24onepiece]

i find reading these tank spot scripts is better for remembering

[roltthehunter]

His job is not to be a show dog. He Is a raider and he is giving good info on the fight stop crying.

[DjNexa]

like always, a perfect explanation! Thanks!

[TheSilentHall]

@iamintense1 Like you?

[savageboner]

lawl

[Ehhzor]

Why haven't Chiderhelm done any vids the last time? Miss him...! xD

[eklipz66]

damn whats up with some people in the comments.. shit. excellent explanation and video. Thanks for posting. Anyone disagreeing should /quit their fail pugs and stick to heroics.

[goodperson656]

Lore is the best

[KolYma89]

Did you do a 20mile run and then immediately sit down at your comp to record the audio for this?

[Chocotaco100]

Your doing good dmg for a bear

[hollowsquare]

The audio commentary for this video is VERY unhelpful, and in fact makes the mechanic even more confusing. Also there is something aobut the the actual sound quality that makes it hard to follow. Much lower quality that I expect from Tankspot.

[mit871chell]

@hollowsquare I agree, I only look at their video for actual real time stuff, other than that I look over the important info, and use common sense/ DBM.

[gangstarapperify]

@hollowsquare this is a new voice i liked the guy who did the voice over for the naxx he voice was calming and easy to listen to for 10 minuters plus

[warningfireexit]

the big fireball thing it has to hit people before hitting its target. and it moves pretty fucking fast.

in 25 man it goes through alot of people. in 10 man it just doesn't hit shit. plus that ability only kills one person in 25 man. in 10 man it is so lethal.

[warningfireexit]

this fight is super easy for 25 man. and epic hard for 10

[cedee2]

this dude's voice SUUUUUUUUUUUKS

[1Zaren]

Idk anything he said. I understood his words.. but it made no sense.

[csecskristof]

quick question : B.Q. Lanathel is similar to 10-> 25  man Putricide ? i man that its much stronger

[KUIT84]

Of late these vids don't seem like strat but just another kill. They are reading the already written up boss abilities(which we already can do for ourself) & are failing to explain what or when an ability is occurring.

With Ciderhelm, he usually tries to time when a boss is changing phase or using an ability and suggest what spell/ability any given player should use. Videos itself doesnt do much because there is no callout. Viewers sitting there going "why are they running out?"

[darksendkilla]

First, ciderhelm already admitted in the comments of this very video that fights have gotten much more complex. It is virtually impossible to time things so that you are speaking exactly what is on the screen and still fit everything you need before the boss dies.

Second, where in the video did I just list off the ability name and what it does without telling you how to counter it? I clearly stated these abilities occur when that prince is empowered.

I am really curious for the answer.

[skullzbh]

@darksendkilla

the information people need to know is too much considering how short the fight is, I dont imagine anyone can do any better for such a guide, but i would suggest adding text explanation for each ability to the video where people can pause and read what you are explaining.

dont get me wrong, it is a great thing what you guys are doing keep it up!

[darksendkilla]

There is one already, it is in the thread at tankspot. Check the link in the movie info box to find it.

[cincysoccer37]

Haha how the hell is this guy speaking in monotone?

[Grassman192]

This narrorator sounds constipated :S

[Nabolzi]

monotone voices are just fucking annoying, always turn off sound when watching these kills pisses me off

[holy0camster]

This is the farthest thing from monotone. Its rather annoying how his voice changes tone every other word

[TheRevitalizedprince]

srsly, Lore needs to do the voice overs for ALL of the guide videos.

[ZeikTuvai]

No. Ciderhelm needs to do all the voiceovers. But failing that Lore is at least competent enough and doesn't stumble over his words or misname abilities constantly like the others.

[THEWEEABOOHUNTER]

to those complaining about monotone, would u prefer a sarcastic explanation? or an angry one? honestly tutorials like this work best with this tone

[Syeno]

these guys are easy ^_^ 1shot um today lol

[TyLeRcAsP]

TALK LOUDER PLEASE.

[Joker5133]

turn up your speakers!!!

[TyLeRcAsP]

I have them turned all the way up, and then I have to go into my sound mixer and turn down the sound for all my other open programs, or they'll blow out my speakers, just to make the Youtube video loud enough. =(

And yes, I have the volume on the actual video turned all the way up

[m0l0b0l0]

NOTORIOUS SUCKS!

[EricRuss50]

I have a question for you, what is your rotation as a feral tank, i use lacerate a ton and i dont see you using it ever

[bambest1]

68k hp druid tank :O!

[maizcul]

Maybe it's a bug, but keleseth most definatly melee'd me on 10 man.

[SurrealLeaf]

"As long as you do not run into melee range of him, Keleseth never melees"

[Atreyon]

Thanks tankspot. Another helpful vid :)

[cibetka76]

They shouldnt use ppl with strange accents in movies. This guy swallows letters and even some whole words and is hard to follow.

[Atreyon]

@cibetka76 it seems alot of ppl complain about their movies and part of me gets really annoyed, cause no one forces you to watch their vids. Its a huge thing they do every new boss and more every week and I doubt it keeps them financially stable to do all this and sharing it with us.

[cibetka76]

Ofc I appreciate what they do, but when making movie he should make effort to prononuce clearly, especialy for ppl to whom english is not native language.

[qsseplayer]

@cibetka76 its not his problem if people cant speak english..... its all done for FREE FOR U SO GET OVER IT STOP PICKING

[fmilyguy]

Is a druid tank better then a warrior?

[darknite121]

that was a really short encounter

[klo6man]

I play as warlock and i can't find any guide how to tank in this encounter.If it's possible please post a video with it.

[Frost640]

@klo6man

Figure it out yourself? Do you need someone to hold your hand for everything?

[fos01jrt]

Tankspot ... you speak clearly ect. but MY GOD..put some feeling into it? I fall asleep listening to you...

[aabra9]

its funny how they say the video didnt even last 5 mins, obv they dont need 5 mins to kill the boss :O! MY LOGIC IS IMBA

[Treembea]

GAHHH I HATE HOW THEY PLAN THIS!!! WHY DONT THEY DO IT OFF OF THE TOP OF THEIR MINDS?!?!?! IT DRIVES ME INSANE!!! they sound so flat and lifeless when they plan them out...monotone ftl

[MyNameis2long4youtub]

Its not that you can't hear his voice. if that was the problem turn up your volume. Its sometimes just really hard to understand a fight you have never done. you just hear all these words you have never heard before, but it helps to maybe watch it again after hearing everything or reading up on guides on tankspot or other sites with lists of the boss' abilities and debuffs they give you.

[MyNameis2long4youtub]

i think you guys just rant when you think there is a problem. These videos are incredible though I just hope you realize this tankspot.

[Fmmanginae]

why do most of you feel the need to comment, be glad someone took the time to make a video for you to learn the mechanics. You can turn your computer's sound up, OMGS.

[anotherneko]

Thanks for this video but parts of it were very hard to understand because your voice was so quiet. Would it be possiable to have a version with subtitles?

[deathdeny]

love how everyone is like "i cant understand what hes saying this video is garbage" maybe u need to open your ears. he talks very clear, its not his fault you have no idea whats going on because your a scrub and havent made it into icc yet

[ButterflyDragon9]

@deathdeny Actually, I watched Mandy's 10 man version of this video and it was clear as a bell as to what was going on. She is clear and concise.

[biostewie]

not our fault your the scrub that hasnt cleared naxx yet. deathdeny go suck a dick fool

[Antrillies]

Someones ability to hear him or not has nothing to do with how far they have progressed in the game. Try not to be a dick to people because you think your better than them. odds are your not. Also before you start with the bullshit I do raid in ICC every week.

[Elentor]

I miss the chick's voice, I didn't understand anything that was said.

[Sesam0h]

god i hate how this guy talks...

[ButterflyDragon9]

Most tankspot videos are great. This one was garbage. No idea wtf this guy was rambling on about.

[maccusportugal]

DAMN nice off hand. cool vid m8

[Justabitwow]

wtb ur UI! :O

[iPvPi]

This boss seems to difficult I'm not sure why I'm just retarted lol, ima watch it 5 more times.

[Monkeyfishism]

@iPvPi Retarted? Missing a d...

[beautifulhair92]

I hear 5k dps is serious in icecrown

[WhatMotivatesYou]

as a tank

[Wingsabr]

Yeah serious shit. People now can do more than that. The gear is getting pretty hardcore now.

[Monkeyfishism]

@Wingsabr Yeah, you can pretty much ding 80 spam heroics then get full 232 gear via the new heroics...You can do 5k easily with that gear... Just did the weekly with my mate doing 7.5k DPS as a hunter...

[TheDeralte]

YEH FINALLY LOCK TANKING

[Graham662]

@TheDeralte

hell ya

[Dreamstyle07]

@stealthyowned They probably would yup, but like if you look @ alienas movie on bloodqueen I got to know all that I needed to know in like 5 minutes, no offense Dark, just tryin 2 help

[rakettetutt]

yea and this video didnt even last for 5 min -.-

[PrayingEagle]

the hell .. this bear's pulling like 5k dps ... /NerfHammer?

[reecey118]

Bears do too much damage -_-'

[piechieftain]

warlock tanking? fuck yeah! it's back baby! :)

[ScreamingBloodyGore]

'Tis why I'm gearing up my lock. Aff tanking ftw

[johs58]

65k hp O.O

[anybodykilla58]

nicely done :P hope you guys wernt getting the same lag spikes from it a few guilds on our server were... though i admit it's quite fun dodging the empowered knockback when you go from "he'll do it soon" to "it's half done casting"

[thegezar]

looks simple

[YouTobio]

freaking ciderhelm better be doing lich king or else im going to murder something.

[rkid1296]

what are TBPC's live stats? 25.1m on PTR but thins could've changed

[Unclefunguz]

pew pew

[Yaasahh]

Tankspot needs CiderHelm back this new guy and Aliena sucks at explaining tactics...

[shraphen]

Well to be fair. The new fights are more engaging and complex to the Naxaramas fights

[Ciderhelm]

Shraphen has it exactly right. My own movies were getting extremely verbose on ability descriptions in Ulduar. I'll be back soon, but I don't think you'll see as miraculous a change as you're expecting until we see simpler encounters again.

[secrethide9]

@Ciderhelm

hello ciderhelm is this out yet on live servers? :P

[wowkujja]

im not ciderhelm but yes, this is out of live servers now, it was released in US yesterday and in EU today

[Alamation]

@ Yaasahh, No, Just Aliena. /sigh.

[HurricaneSparky]

Aliena is quite good at explaining and usually offers some healing insight.
