 what's up guys I am doing a video yes look at that a video that I am editing myself that I'm sitting behind at my computer look at that it's not stream highlights it's not anything else and that is because I am doing something that I wanted to do during classic wow which was not have a voice crack while I'm doing a video but here we are and I'm very excited because I am doing a I'm wanting to start this YouTube series I'm calling it sFans burning crusade but from now on I would like to do these videos regularly maybe once a week maybe on reset day and just go over and it's almost like vlog style where I go through and I talk about everything that's happened so far in the expansion right or everything that happened in the throughout the course of the week right now it's the expansion but talk about everything that's happened so far and kind of what my goals are for the next week what I'm doing and wow and maybe throw a little bit other stuff about me or the stream tell a little bit other stories of things going on as well so it's something I'm very excited about it's something I was very keen on doing in classic while in classic vanilla and I just didn't get around to it and I kind of regret it and I didn't want to make that same mistake this time around obviously I stream every day on twitch I don't always stream wow but lately I've been streaming a lot of burning crusade I know my stream has grown quite a bit as kind of more in the variety direction IRL direction doing a whole lot of other stuff as opposed to just doing wow but this is something I wanted to do whether I'm playing on stream off stream whatever I'm doing I think this would be a fun thing kind of like a regular series to have for YouTube exclusive content that you guys can enjoy and it's something that for me I can kind of like have a little bit of a almost like a log a diary if you will of everything that happened throughout the course of burning crusade whenever we look back at the end of it assuming I actually keep up with it let's get started so this is my character of course is my character so far I am level 70 and I currently have played time at 60 I have a hundred and 81 total days played and total time played I said 60 at level 70 I have six days 17 hours played and this is on Tuesday morning so probably a few hours before you're gonna see this video first thing you guys might notice is I got my grand marshal title back a little bit of a let's talk a little bit about the expansion in general overall burning crusade has been outstanding believe it or not burning crusade was the most fun that I ever had and wow and now 15 whatever years later I am having more fun than I had back then I don't know what it is I don't know what's going on but I have kind of the same feeling that I had four years ago whenever I started this channel back with Dracova I'll admit I mean there were times throughout the course of classic vanilla that things just got kind of weird man like community-wise like externally right that came in it affected the mood it affected the people's perception of classic it just got weird it affected my attitude it just it just wasn't really there anymore and now I enjoyed it don't get me wrong and I accomplished I mean scarab lord grand marshal got them in the same week as far as I'm concerned I beat vanilla I'm probably never gonna play it again you know everything I wanted to get as far as accomplishments everything we're done we're setting that aside but for burning crusade we got some things that we definitely want to do and that actually starts with arena that's the big thing for me is the arena and let's go on over to the we're gonna go on over to the champions hall to the hall of champions and we're gonna check out what gear is available now actually you know what before we get into all that I want to talk about the journey of 70 you know what the plan was what ended up happening launch day itself obviously was very crazy if you play on fair lina if you're paying attention fair lina was you know getting d-dust and this and it was fair lina fair lina had a rough time but surprisingly the rest of the servers did pretty good I play on fair lina and that one day was really bad but after that one day it really it was really just fine a few times have not been an issue they added in multiple layers to kind of me they had there was something like the layer add-ons were saying there was like 40 layers unfairly and it was insane it was insane I mean you could go out you could quest in the world you could do you could do dungeon grinding however you wanted to do it now you guys know me I've talked about this before if you guys have been watching my channel for a long time if you guys have known me for a long time I'm not much of a quester right like I like to do some quests here and there I like to mix it up and do both but for the most part I play prop paladin I put on a shield holy shield retora consecration bunch of little numbers that's what I like to see so I did dungeon riding I dungeon riding most of my way to level 70 and the plan was initially that me McConnell as men clovers and Abernathy we're gonna level together but what happened kind of the same thing that happened in vanilla unfortunately which is I'm I'm a little bit of a grinder okay clovers a grinder Abernathy's a grinder so so our schedules naturally just kind of like just shifted away from each other so it was like as one was asleep or as one was leveling I was asleep I'm leveling he's asleep McConnell he I mean he had a rough first day and he kind of got behind so it it just kind of ended up that way so me Abernathy and clovers ended up leveling to 70 together for most most the way and then we just kind of rotated people in and filled and and got to 70 that way and it was good I think I don't remember what day we hit 70 I think it was I think we hit it by Friday and dude I'm telling you I grinded I think my first my launch stream was 39 hours and then I I went 39 hours slept if you like how many hours I don't even remember like three or four and woke up and boom hit another 31 hours like that was nuts but man it was fun I mean it was it was awesome it was so much fun but I definitely probably should not be doing that too often back to back 24 plus hour streams and actually that's happened twice in the last in the last month and that's like a whole whole other discussion I really got a cool it on the stream hours and all that which kind of has me worried about doing YouTube videos and this and that but maybe if I'm if I'm planning on doing some YouTube videos I get a little bit of consistency going and maybe I will just kind of limit myself off stream a little bit and I can work on this stuff lovely to 70 was great it was fun I chose Aldor Aldor versus scryers that's what a lot of people have been asking me a lot of people have been wondering back in the day I went scryer and I remember late burning crusade I was like I regret going scryer but why I can't I can't remember why I was running going scryer and what I remembered and though it's good don't be wrong the shattered sun necklace on the Isle of Caldenas whenever the Sunwell patch hits has a chance to proc something whether you're Aldor or whether you're scryer for scryer it's a direct damage proc if you're Aldor it's a 200 attack power proc I thought oh crit I'm a PvP guy I like crit create big crits big numbers boom explode crit works against resilience right the other side of the argument is sure crit works against resilience but why don't you just like avoid working against it at all and just go for attack power so it's like a whole thing right I went with Aldor that's what I did so I went with Aldor this time around I think it'll be great I think Aldor is gonna be fine I think scryers okay too I just personally I just wanted to go Aldor this time and I would say if you're really getting into the nitty gritty min max all that stuff then probably Aldor is gonna outperform if you're looking at all that you guys know me especially if again if you've been around here for a long time and how I kind of got started doing all the YouTube stuff I used to be very like min maxi like I'm the kind of person who I'm not like a classic Andy right where I don't think oh you got to play this way you got to play this way you got to do this you got to do that I kind of feel like people can play the game the way they want to and get what they wanted to done they just have to find other people that want to play the game the same way they want to play it and I've always said if you play a hybrid like a rat feral moonkin whatever you kind of have to play like a level up from what your raid or your guild plays at in order to kind of like earn your spot that was in vanilla in burning crusade rats pretty good like in PvE it's pretty good it's it's totally justified to have a raid spot 2% damage to everybody in our group refreshing all judgments on the target let's say you got three pounds and a 25 man you got wisdom light crusader that is very very powerful that is a huge huge damage buff tier entire raid and then on top of that the fact that they gave alliance seal of blood which is something that you may or may not know I was I was very vocal about the the power of seal of blood and alliance not having it and how bad it is and this and that so you know whenever they said they're gonna do it they're gonna put in seal of blood and they're going to manually program seal twisting into the game whenever they're getting rid of the batch I was ecstatic I was I went from being like kind of worried cautious like what the hell is gonna happen with burning crusade to whenever I finally got it and got to play with it and test it and and feel it out I was like oh my it was the biggest feeling of relief we you know we got something cooking here okay so I'm happy I'm excited the the damage has been insane you guys have seen some of the other videos like I'll be doing rules and I'll be I'll be peeking at the number one spot on damage meters I'll do battlegrounds and just boom boom boom like there's that clip at the beginning of the there's that clip at the beginning of the other video where I run through and this pre the priest clutch clutch paints up and saves me but like we go and we wiped out basically two men wiped out an entire war song room grab the flag return it they they go and score it was great it was wonderful so by the way this episode this is the first two weeks of classic so this episode might be a little bit longer than these typically are I kind of want to keep these video to around eight to ten minutes and give you a short little update but this one's gonna be a little bit longer you know I'm gonna go through and I'll cut out some stuff and I'll edit it a little bit some minor editing but depending on how this first video goes I may work on a little bit more and also I may maybe looking for some editors some more editors but we can we can talk about that in a little bit you guys have probably been if you've been watching my YouTube channel you've seen the video I did craft deep deep thunder I I'm an engineer so I use this the zap throttle moat extractor I spent so many hours in Negrand and Zangarmarsh just flying flying in a path around the entire zone and getting these moats and trying to form everything out and I definitely I definitely got some help too from people people watching the stream or whatever and they were you know they wanted to they they wanted to support donate something so that was definitely a huge help as well so if you guys helped out with that you guys you guys know who you are that was that was also a huge huge help it's funny the deep thunder itself was not that bad the the leveling up to 375 is a nightmare though that's the expensive part I'm at 114 gold right now so yeah it's it's it's looking rough let's talk about the gear that I have so far some of the gear that I've gotten so far this is my PvE gear currently my PvE gear currently I've got overlords helmet of second sight this is from the quest chain in Shadowmoon Valley the Tarangor fin quest chain choker of violent tent which I bought with badges this is kind of a waste because I could have gotten the necklace from Ottoman the Huntsman there's also if I don't need any hint there's also the necklace from the chess event I went ahead and spent 25 badges on this just to get something but whatever I'm I saved hard on bloodlust brooch because I have a slayer's crest which is just a hair worse and it allows me to kind of stall getting the bloodlust brooch for a while so no big deal pauldrons of the crimson flight 40s 2028 stamina this is from the strap for me in black morass I have this cloak of malice is pretty good from shattered halls so a lot of my gear I'm still using like level 60 gear or gear that was just kind of like hey we're gonna disenchant this how things are kind of shaking out the raid or whatever I'm getting a little bit less prior right at the beginning but that that stuff is gonna come in soon like I've seen tier four shoulders legs pants it's the same thing for shoulders legs gloves we've seen a bunch of the gear that I need ring up a thousand marks from from Prince in Karazhan we've seen a lot of the gear that I'm really looking forward forward to getting it's just it's just not my turn yet right like that stuff your gear comes and goes in waves that is how it's always worked in a Lou council type situation sometimes you get gear early some of you get two or three pieces a week and then you won't get anything for a few weeks some I mean sometimes you get five or six pieces that's just what happens right also I've been tanking my raids I think I'm probably gonna main red in raids it just right now we have a little bit of shortage of tanks and obviously I can play whatever I like Prott I like red I can even play holy right I don't prefer it but I can even play holy if I wanted to except I can't because I don't have any holy gear because I'm a bag space but that's a different discussion right if I had gear I could play holy bracers of maliciousness these are like a sidegrade to risk hordes of vengeance flesh handlers gauntlets so what I'm using I'm using these flesh handlers gauntlets and then shatrath leggings for some expertise I have 15 expertise right now and if I can get the shapeshifter signet from getting exalted in lower city by doing shadow labs set the calls and I can I crypts then I am going to have about 20 expertise which will be 5% chance of reduction to dodge to get dodged and get parried which is huge that's the most annoying thing ever one of your DPSing and stuff's getting dodged and then you miss and you drop your vengeance it's just a whole mess right so that's a big goal for me this week is I want to hit exalted with lower city and I'm doing pretty good so far because if you take a look I'm at 10,535 out of 2100 into revere so because I'm still using band of a curia and I'm still using band of unnatural forces so I'm using two level 60 rings right now to get my hit oh wait this is wrong actually I gotta I gotta get this figured out because my hits a little bit off I had a hit gem in another pair of gloves that's what it was I gotta I gotta bump my but my gems up to to be honest I just got cheap gems for now and I gotta I gotta get some at least some green gems but yeah I mean like I I'm still using level 60 stuff here I have a lot of little 60 year level 57 Libram of Hope which is not terrible to be honest to level 70 but I would like to get the Libram off of that's another goal for this week heroic blood furnace the first boss heroic blood furnace is nightmare by the way but the first boss from heroic blood furnace drops a Libram that gives you 53 crit for five seconds whenever you do a judgment but I do have hourglass of the unraveler very good very good trinket and Slayer's Crest is gonna do me just fine until I eventually get a bloodlust breach it's not a big deal now that we have that gear squared away I want to talk a little bit about this week being kind of crazy because the arena's drop today when you see this video arenas probably have already been out and I'm probably losing my dad gum mind because I have got like no resilience let me show you my PvP gear and we're gonna head into the Hall of Champions I got two pieces of PvP gear and they're not even set bonus because I got the boots because I was still using chromatic boots and I got the Grand Marshal scaled leg guards because I was using where you at dog leg plates of carnage so I got like 72 stamina to 18 stamina I got like a 500 health swing by swapping these legs which is a huge deal I got the Cobra hide armor there's there's another one that's like 40 and it's super expensive the honor grind is miserable it's bad like I'm dude I've been talking to Grand Marshal's who everybody's like dude this is worse than ranking because there's like an inevitable like dude arenas are coming arenas are coming and I want to have the I wanted to have the two-piece set bonus but last night by the time you guys see this video on Monday I played Final Fantasy 7 intergrade so whenever I did that I promised I was gonna do that I had an absolute blast I loved it I loved every second of it it was great it was funny it was me me it was kind of weird at times but it was great I love Final Fantasy 7 I'd love the remake can't wait until part 2 comes out the variety people love the variety stuff on my stream my stream is kind of grown to be more than just wow like I said earlier it's it's really really cool to have a good strong community like that that's like wow might be like you know how it started or like even even like the core of like who's there is like you know they might be wow players or former wow players or whatever or even people who don't play well right or have no interest in wow but people just they just like being there and like being involved in a good community that's that's sick right that's awesome I need to get the two-piece set bonus because my resilience right now is 89 I have the gauntlets of martial perfection these dropped in rules layer nobody wanted them and I said I will take them as like a stop gap to be honest though the fists of the unrelenting which are the pre-patch saffron gauntlets are probably gonna end up getting used just as much if not more I'm gonna change this to a strength and chant I think by the way I gotta figure that out and fists of the unrelenting are basically like stronghold gauntlets and gauntlets of annihilation from vanilla combined I'm probably gonna use these level 60 gauntlets in pvp for as long as I can honestly I will probably use it as long as I can because disarm is brutal and it sucks balls so I'm probably going to do that I know I can get a weapon chain but weapon chains are for losers and also for people that are not zug-zug paladins who just want to just see big numbers okay so yeah that's that's basically what I got there so I put a little bit of resilience in there other than that dude it is it is it is looking bad if I had if I had this chess piece what I probably would have done is I probably want to put some more resilience in here and just stack it up as much as possible and maybe I'll talk I'm trying to talk about like everything all at once and I really need to cut it down because this video has probably already gotten to be quite a bit longer than what I wanted it to be but long story short and maybe I will talk a little bit more about it next week I'll talk about it more about it I'll talk more about it on the streams I'm looking to do some more battlegrounds this week get some more PvP gear and also I am looking for a rest of shaman on Feralina because we don't know who on Alliance Feralina who's really going to pan out as being like good PvP shamans good arena shamans good because every type of there's so many different types of skill and wow battlegrounds arenas dueling raids honestly even heroic dungeons they're all different types of skills and I just have absolutely no idea who is going to pan out to be a good arena rest of shaman so Bajir and I have talked Bajir and I are gonna play together we're looking for a healer ideally a rest of shaman because I think that's kind of what makes the comp with a ret paladin and a mortal strike warrior I think we are gonna tear it up if if we have the right guy we'll have a lot more to talk about next week I'm going to go ahead and cut it here guys just a few notes before you don't close out the video just yet okay one make sure you subscribe do yourselves a favor and go ahead and subscribe obviously that helps me out a lot liking the video helps out a lot but also I might be looking for more editors this is a video that
