Video summary

The video features a hardcore World of Warcraft death reaction where the commentator dissects a disastrous run in Dire Maul, focusing heavily on poor group coordination and critical gear management errors. The main issue identified early on is the group's decision to pull a massive pack without utilizing the "soothe" ability to skip it, a move the reactor deems unnecessarily risky and foolish. This strategic blunder sets off a chain of events where the party fails to maintain proper distance from the boss and adds, leading to chaotic positioning. The commentator emphasizes that in hardcore scenarios, every player must be prepared for worst-case situations, specifically noting that having at least one speed potion is non-negotiable when facing high-level dungeons or unpredictable patrol spawns. As the run progresses, the commentary shifts to analyzing individual class performances, highlighting how the lack of a speed potion on the priest ultimately seals their fate. The reactor points out that the melee classes, particularly the rogue and warrior, fail to maintain optimal evasion spots by stopping unnecessarily, which forces the ranged casters like the mage and priest to retreat further into danger. The mage is criticized for using maximum rank spells instead of efficient Rank 1 abilities, wasting valuable mana in a desperate situation where resource management was crucial. Furthermore, the group's inability to communicate effectively about incoming patrols leads them to stop fighting and regroup at dangerous locations, allowing enemies to catch them off guard. The climax of the analysis occurs when the party is overwhelmed by multiple packs and the boss simultaneously, resulting in the death of several members including the priest and the rogue. The reactor argues that while no single player played perfectly, the group's collective failure to adapt their strategy to the changing battlefield conditions was fatal. He specifically critiques the rogue for not utilizing bear form and speed potions effectively to survive the initial onslaught, noting that a simple shift in tactics could have saved him. The video concludes with a broader lesson on accountability within hardcore groups; players must accept their mistakes rather than blaming others, as even experienced teams make errors but the difference lies in how they recover from them. Ultimately, the reactor stresses that survival depends on having essential items like speed potions and lip potions organized together for quick access, along with the discipline to keep moving and avoid predictable traps.

[Music] okay I'm going to mute the music for now and we're going to watch this clip wait they don't have the Trap wait are they just trying to skip it without the Trap or what wait this is sketchy as [ __ ] already this seems so unnecessarily sketchy holy sh like I feel like the Rogue should be ready to distract the boss again and I also feel like they need to sheeper lock just already from this pole because someone's going to get banished and then it's going to cause problems they're going to pull the next pack here comes the next pack there's the banish there's the boss dude like this is so dumb already like the fact that they so the fact that the group agreed to do this they are all five stupid I would never agree to do this [ __ ] this is dumb as [ __ ] to to do this full stop if you're going to do this okay if you're going to do this right here you can actually skip this pack with sooth so you have to soothe this warlock jump up here and run up and if you get a resist on the soothe you basically have to just roach it's really [ __ ] right which makes this insanely risky it's just there's just no [ __ ] reason to do it they call to kill us incorrect call should be a soothe and go up that's the only play here okay let's see what happens I mean I basically called everything that's happened so far do people have speed pots y gets banished he's probably fine he just B he just vanishes right like I feel like at this point if you go into a level 60 dungeon at at the very least you should have one speed pot and one lip arguably more lips but one speed pot are the very [ __ ] least in case you have to do a run like this cuz if you have a speed pot here you're fine and if everyone has a speed pot everyone is fine yeah the Rogue has vanished he's completely fine are you guys fine are you guys fine I they're leaving party way too late if they're going to do this they should have done it earlier you can actually jump I'm pretty sure you can jump on here and it's an evade spot sooth good sooth no no no oh yeah he pulled now keep going again if he has a speed pot he still has his pot CD if he had a speed pot he'd be completely fine I mean Mage should be slowing here right the entire Time Mage should be throwing out blizzards and novas there's no reason for him to be this far there's no threat to him right he can just blizzard the closest mobs and move away again the closest mobs have no chance to get to him ever just one rank one blizzard is probably enough already I don't know where Snoopy is no no no no no no oh my God do not [ __ ] The Flash he might get killed wait there's no way Sara dies here though there's the blizzard but it's a boss doesn't matter not you can't the so Mage lives uh priest lives wait we got to watch the the Snoopy p man um there's only four oh don't get Fus though everyone group [ __ ] yeah mine super shoot nice War stop you have another dummy no I don't I don't I don't he's only me just go your defens he should just go here right this is an evade spot I don't know if these these mobs have Port but he can just run to any of these ramps and jump on it and I'm pretty sure they're all evade spots there's some bosses that have the port I don't know if this is the one though you can't stay here though you have to run literally to the opposite you have to run to where you were fighting the mobs to try and get half Stone back he can charge you on the evade SP he needs to keep running this staying here does nothing dud know yeah he's going for the safe spot where are are you good pocket I'm how long's on his half I left but it's not giving me the the timer oh [ __ ] I think you were the last one Hearth I think I have no for two minutes moade I can't combat keep moving keep moving can I leave this now the group invite invite me and leave invite me and leave okay wait left the group now yeah is back in uh two minutes okay now I'm I'm looking for a reset spot keep moving bro there's a ledge as well on the left but it's hard to get on oh God imagine the plant popped on him holy [ __ ] dude like you can use the bones here to get onto this ledge and I'm pretty sure that's an evade spot as well but again I don't know if it works on the boss I believe you can line him I mean he's doing what he needed to right it was a little bit delayed but it was okay the boss the mobs aren't on him but he's he's paed correctly right this is the best thing he could have done there's no way he's getting out past the mobs right okay they're coming seconds keep going keep going keep running I'll jump down when they wait until they're all the way up oh my God let get oh my God okay he made it out that waset this is first run wait there's another run the fact that they even went to do this to do a tribute like for a minor amount of extra loot for this insane amount of [ __ ] risk is crazy to me absolutely Bonkers where is the next one where they die do I just skip onward a bit do we have like clips for that [ __ ] where is it so like here already you can't slow the boss but like he can put out some some rank one you know bolts if possible he can p it some rank one blizzards I get it he doesn't want to get aggro the boss and the boss isn't slow but like a rank one blizzard shouldn't get him Agra of the boss when there's been heals flying around especially when there's been Shields Ling around as well right he won't get aggro one rank one blizzard so putting some slows in is is nice but the issue is the is the bosses like let's be honest right it's not the ads at this point is the bosses and he can't slow the bosses so so what if he slows an ad right if the bosses connect on Sara she's dead he's dead so like you can see him roaching and I would say if there was no bosses absolutely get the slows going I do think you can stay a little bit closer to your group I think that there is no need to be this distance away when you don't have aggro as the Mage you're not getting killed you can just run out you have many many options so he's a long long way away from his group in this situation okay this is Snoopy puff this is Mage puff this is Rogue PFF okay we'll watch Rogue P first I can Target him yeah should I do it just kill the master you target it shouldn't be a problem here right it's like a couple of mobs any grenades anything heal him heal him heal him yeah just heal me just come back a little bit form sppy just run help that yeah y yep yep pirate why are you walking bro what are you talking about why am iing Savage come on man the just kill the M kill the mes we got this in sense of something see my Mana what am I supposed to do rang blizzard and NOA now we're going to wait not the greatest tanking position right shouldn't be going through the middle middle is risky on hard the dumm and run everyone should just be W away stopping not the play W never stop like they're losing so much distance because they keep stopping you never [ __ ] stop you you double you away if you're melee if you're this much in the mix you [ __ ] double you away the fact that people are stopping is so grief especially with these changes in elevation here right you make the priest come back because you do this you [ __ ] double you as much as you can because the longer you double you for the less stuff hits you right this is just from a uh this is from Snoopy Snoopy's P only right he stops he turns he's doing all this [ __ ] [ __ ] right just run I can help that yeah y y y pirate why are you walking bro this this actually lowkey isn't even that bad right like you just Warrior tanks the boss you AOE the mobs stand like people are not doing damage because it's like they're panicking but like you can just kill the ads and then it's just you could probably Forman this honestly like okay pirate roaching Is Not Great you could probably still just Forman this but because they're just running and P and pissing themselves it's sketchy and then they pull more priest is [ __ ] here didn't keep distance so it's [ __ ] I'd love to see the priest puff priest PFF is probably one of the most important ones here okay get out get out run run I can Taun last how much he doesn't have manag to shift I I cannot I cannot stun him just run out [ __ ] the boss came up after like the masses to after we uh so I feel like people are not in this same page when it comes to running like when you run you run together you help each other you use the stuff that your class has to help each other run like it was actually completely fine here like this isn't even that bad okay it's not great but like the boss is the the Mage is low it's one [ __ ] ogre some dogs just kill them no like what's the [ __ ] issue your priest has so much Mana still tank the [ __ ] boss wall kill the ads it's crazy yeah I mean good shout but it's like even if it's not salvageable help your [ __ ] team use rank one stuff I get it he's low Mana but like so of played well I think that there's the problem here right is that and and actually this is kind of why Sarah dies watch the way that they move when they decide to run watch where Snoopy goes just Snoopy don't watch anyone else it's good it's good it's good paing is not a direct line but he's like pottering about stopping stops a ton you know he could already be [ __ ] here you know and what what if he's here nice now he's already at the edge right now now he goes back he pots about the boss gets on him right and now the priest is forced to come back right just because they didn't run in a straight line just run in a straight line there's no reason to [ __ ] about it you want to get as much distance from as many mobs as possible and as close to the exit as possible Right so now what happens is SAR doesn't have good distance cuz he had to come back because Snoopy was on top and over the lip of the top of the ramp right so now Sara is in this is the probably the worst place you can be in as a priest because he's now the furthest person in with all the mobs coming this is where you have to speed pot if you don't speed pot here it's so bad and this is why you need a speed pot super important oh was actually sorry Aussie is actually behind but still he also [ __ ] choked hard on the paing same thing as Snoopy get the [ __ ] out move well we haven't even started talking about pyro yet by the way before I before we even bring that up the two melee AB absolutely can make them further to the exit and make it so that the priest doesn't have to run back because of the stupid line of sight at the top right the priest literally saved Snoopy here because Snoopy walked backwards that's unfortunate in firsters so like again now they like kind of think oh yeah maybe we can maybe we can salvage this but I think this is the second time they fight in a bad spot and another Patrol comes right and then there's another Patrol that comes from behind which is really unfort but this is actually killable here right it's one brute two dogs and a boss right AOE [ __ ] Taun and War I don't know what he has left but like you should be able to tank this okay and I'm not putting this on the tank I'm putting it on the the you know the group should have have called here this is salvageable but it needed to be salvageable it needed here this is where they should have [ __ ] done it not here but like in the middle right in the middle here this is where they should have fought cuz this is the lowest risk spot and you can see the Patrol coming from a long time the Mage is so low HP look at it and anyway so now positioning is really bad because your the priest has no distance Mage is [ __ ] gone again we haven't even started talking about the Mage cuz like I'm criticizing a lot of stuff uh honestly in festers I think your main [ __ ] main mistake was honestly just not having a speed pot I feel like everything else you played like spot on you did the [ __ ] you had to do and you're in the spot you're you are in the spot that you are in because of the group getting the heels off get slowed by the dog and that's just [ __ ] dadge now right when you get slowed as a priest it's [ __ ] but yeah I think the speed pot on priest as since you have no Mobility on pre speed part is so [ __ ] valuable and then here comes the patrol my speed pot finish this run yeah I mean this is what I was saying before I think every single run that I've been into so far I make sure I have at least one speed pot on one lip because you don't [ __ ] know what's going to happen right and it's like leveling and doing all that [ __ ] and getting to 60 and getting geared and then like dying cuz you didn't have a speed PO is like hurts hurts my soul man cuz like you legit saved the group here and you paid the [ __ ] price for it cuz you didn't have some shitty speed pot right oh yeah no for sure absolutely infestors like no doubt about that right you can you can live this without a speed pot if the group plays well like absolutely not taking that away in any way shape or form but obviously I think that it's worth the good thing with hardcore is you can look at every single player and see what could this player have done to save the deaths here essentially and I think the only thing you could have done better was have a speed pot so at least you can say hey hey you know I played well I died but I played it well which is better than oh I [ __ ] up and died right so I think you just don't have any options right the heels that you're Landing are heels that will literally save people's lives and the rest of the time you're moving and yeah you just [ __ ] now I don't know I don't know if I don't know why pirat is like so accusatory with his tone they're like now we're going to wipe yeah like oh [ __ ] really you were going to the the ledge you're like so close I guess I I can't quite see on this PVE but it's like this ledge here right but the [ __ ] shitty dog slow is brutal I think that's it actually fear on the dogs I don't know what's hitting probably actually done know what Hing more dogs and now this is the part where it got pulled the same time my heel so got [ __ ] so unlucky man so now the fact that Snoopy didn't just run in a straight line at the start comes to bite him in the ass because he would be up here and and if he's up here when he gets Agro he actually makes out I mean we're going through everyone right but both melee can just double you way more in a straight line rather than stopping slowing down Etc we haven't got to the Mage yet we've done both melee and we've done the priest Rogue kind of is doing Rogue things he's obviously scared as well if he doesn't have vanish he can't do too much to the boss if he gets Agro from the boss it's pretty bad again he can get slowed it's really [ __ ] sketch for the Rogue at this point if he gets Agro any dos it's just not great there's not a lot he can do right he can do like a vanish cheap shot if he commits to try and get K he might get slowed and die as well if he doesn't have vanish so it's like yeah I I don't blame the Rogue for getting some distance like like he's done as much as he could earlier on you know is he going to kill everything by himself not really likely where's the bear charge does he not have bear charge he's in Bear he gets slowed can we can we be charge the boss bottom left bar uh yeah he has bear charge and he has pots so he just be charges and pots I ammo then he gets the slow off res shifts and runs I swear he lives if he does this he just shifts out pots while he shifted out on the global and then res shifts Snoopy could have legit s lived from this spot you can't poers shift days yeah but the days is almost off it's the other slow that's getting him right the dog slow like yeah he gets days as well but it's range on the thing it wasn't on CD it's a range indicator oh that's that's gutting bro yeah he could have legit lived let's switch the pirate P because this is what everyone's everyone's uh druming he's got enough Mana to blizzard here he should already be sending a blizzard right from the edge okay he sends one but it's on the boss cancels it instantly that's a shame it was it was a Max ranker that's the [ __ ] that's an issue right it should be rank one but he sends the max rank he actually has rank one on the bars by the looks of it but he sends a Max ranker for one tick and it's on the boss he doesn't have rank one binded okay but it's there otherwise why would you have it right I think that having rank one blizz is one of the most important things you can do on on Mage so that's a just a macro mistake ahead of time something that is some should be taken on board after this wipe right he should be binding that and getting used to using it if we're going to say okay how how do we improve from this how do we improve from this in future right I think also generally understanding what it means to run out of the dungeon don't just [ __ ] abandon your teammates right use your stuff and help your team as much as possible there's no call out that there's a Patrol coming there needs to be a call out of that so the team understands to keep moving instead of fighting here they stop and fight here for a little bit because they don't know there Patroll is coming if somebody calls the patrol is coming which pirate could have done he could have called and said Patrol coming from the right don't stop keep coming get down run get the [ __ ] out you know but instead they stop so watch here yeah yep yep yep pirate why are you walking bro what are you talking about why am I walking look at my Mana the just kill the M kill thees we got this of uh something do you see my Mana what am I supposed to do for you just kill the mases one shot okay we he has Gem and robe ready does he have Mana poot his Mana poot he's pot cool then so I mean he just he just has to pop some [ __ ] right like at least he's waiting but it's kind of too late right he overcommitted with the running I'm I'm now we're going to wait S no okay get out get out run run as a mage I feel like you should have all of your Mana gains in one place right it shouldn't be like one here one here one here one here like all of the stuff that's relevant to each other should be contained in one spot so that you don't have to panic looking all over the place wasting time in in sketchy situ situations this is important for hardcore same thing with lip same thing with fap same thing with speed pot like things that are going to keep you alive should be in the same spot how much Mana there no that much man you have a boss in you you called run getting slow um [ __ ] wait I don't think I I cannot I cannot stun him just run just run out run out you were fed $1.76 [ __ ] they called run ran and I was at a Mana I don't know what the hell they were expecting dude that does not make any sense no they pulled they over pulled two PS and the boss like [ __ ] no oh no I mean the regular ogres can still be poly we just had the boss and like five Ms and and two ogres we could have poed one ogre killed one and then walked it out yes literally just even an ice would enough you guys P that when I instantly ran out bro you instantly ran you didn't even look as much as you're angry right now of course I ran out not Ang at all you pulled two packs you over pulled two packs and a boss I had 1,400 Mana left I had to spend all of that Mana to try and put it on blizzard to save you guys in the first place and nothing left you weren't paying attention to party resources one and you weren't paying attention to where the boss that's not on me I saw the B the boss coming I don't know if we could could like move back faster but yeah my response would be how much Mana is rank one blizzard like tell me right now if I was in this group I'd be like how much Mana is rank one blizzard that's it that's all I would ask him cuz there's nothing he can say to it there's nothing he can say to not using rank one blizzard there it's nothing to do with his manner he wasted 400 manner on Ching Max rang blizzard dude I I I would if I'm I'm sorry that's what I would do if it was me I would ask him how much manner is rank one blizzard right and I'm not I'm not I wouldn't want to Flame him nothing like that it's just like don't act like it's everyone else's fault everyone can take accountability for this that's the thing that is is annoying right you don't need to Flame the guy there's no point in making drama about it at all right it's not about that right it's about everyone having their own share of the accountability that's how it is in hardore no one ever [ __ ] plays perfect no one ever you can watch every single [ __ ] clip of every single [ __ ] death and find something that one player does wrong in that clip that's the beauty of wow right that's why hardcore is cool as [ __ ] because there always something you can do better so like not taking some accountability for people dying even if it's not directly his fault right you can still be like ah [ __ ] man like okay it wasn't my fault but I could have maybe saved you sort of thing you know but like I don't think it's worth any you know it doesn't warrant drama any further than that I would I wouldn't Flame the guy like obviously he made an incorrect decision he he did what he thought was his best he did what the decisions what he thought were correct obviously he's not trying get them killed you know so he did he did what was his best right so why would you flame someone for that you know like we like he made mistakes right that's not we're not that's not up for debate you can look it and and see that he made mistakes right and people will make mistakes right we we broke everyone else's mistakes down he made mistakes too everyone made mistakes right his were just the most obvious but I just think think that there's no reason to have an ego in something and try and defend it [Music] when you know yourself that you are not as experienced at that thing as other people there are other people that are more experienced than you you can't [ __ ] just sweep it under the carpet and hope that people will you know not call you out on it I think out of everyone in this clip uh the priest didn't do much wrong to be fair I was going to say Snoopy probably was was one that almost did nothing wrong but I think the original paing the start I mean should be could have saved himself I think he knows that even a charge on the boss here could have saved him no lip he can just lip like if he lips does he come out a bear he does right he has to cancel form lip so he just has a cancel form lip macro no biggie right and he can do that like where is it let's see a good spot for it I can talk when these mobs get him [Music] like he can react now he gets dazed right he should be like [ __ ] I'm dazed I got mobs on me I don't think he expects the amount of damage he takes so let's say like here right he takes a bit more damage there a ton of dogs now now you lip now there's now it doesn't require game knowledge now it's situational knowledge right there's a [ __ ] ton of dogs on me and I'm slowed I can't get out of this anymore no one can help him priest is dead everyone else is gone right so what does what does he need to what is his decision to make like what can he do here right to save himself he shouldn't be worrying about other people he should be worrying about himself so he has charge and he has pot cool then he has one lip now my issue is he has his things that can save him are very spread out that's the first thing I would say is is not great I think you need to have the things that can save you together but that's neither here nor there he has lips we cancel forms and lips now nothing can hit him for 6 seconds I don't know if the lip removes the slow it definitely doesn't remove the days but he can lip and charge the boss actually if he lips the slow will come off regardless right because he's changed form so he lips one Global he's out of form goes back into bear charges the boss the days will be over by then the slow will be being shifted and then he could just run around the corner and he's done right that's the play here and he 100% lives if he does that I think he probably gets out as the lip ends but the problem is he can't just SL shift the slow and he's getting spamed a because there's so many dogs on him right if you sh he needs to stay in B to avoid the damage but the lip will mitigate all the damage for him so s sge and I mean he'll probably see that himself right I think as a dreid player he'll be able to see himself um yeah tough one tough one [Music]
