So what's the deal, guys? Are we gonna have to wait 3 weeks for you to finish 1 relatively quick instance?

That might be okay with a harder instance that you haven't shown before, but come on guys - this is Utgarde Keep. We've seen it before. A good number of us have actually run it at this point.

If your episodes were a little bit longer and the editing was a little tighter you could easily bust through this instance in three episodes, instead of nine.

I believe that the retri pally is a great DPS char. I never played one but i've seen in raids how badass they can get. In the Burning Crusade the Retri pally was a sort of an outcast class. In 90% of the raids the retry pally was on the bottom of the dps chart. With Wrath the pally has jumped from the bottom of the dps to the first and second spots on the chart. Rogues and hunters will now have a contender for the dps mastery.

Poor Jeff. His Retadin should be doing a hell of lot more DPS. I think he has a gear issue.

December 10, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterDtotheug

@ Ironhoof. Let's not forget about locks in BC, they got screwed in 3.0, and now they are back on track, but not 1st.. atho i do tend to make top 5 dps in 25 man naxx bosses with lesser gear than my guildies.

"I'm gonna go home and read about how I'm gonna do more DPS". Awesome, can't wait for the bosses!

Dorkins caused the Great Hunter Nerf of 2008!

I feel for Jeff... we've all been there... lol

December 10, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterBrandy

ok as a ret pally this is actually painful to watch. What seal are you using jeff? By the looks of it you are using SoV which is just....no! You should be using SoM or SoC. I realize you are new to ret but come on.

Nice episode - love seeing Jeff's reactions to all these new things (for him) when all the other guys are like, 'Meh. Been there, seen that.'

I also love whenever the guys bring Schnoobins because my main is a mage and I love being able to compare my crits to his - figuring out if I'm even on the same planet as them dps wise. :D

Gotta say nice one with the "oh crap I still have my riding crop on guess that explains it" But all in all I've enjoyed this series since day 1 Keep it up guys

LoL they didn't censor the F word at one point when Alex was talking to dorkins. Have no problem with it. Just thought it was hilarious. They should just leave the videos uncensored cuz i hate it when i hear the bleeps.*

Aww come on guys.. forgot the RSS feed again.

December 10, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterAngel

i have a level 35 gnome mage on server echo isles named melven and i dont go on him much but im trying to get on him more, can someone pst me if i do get on and give me a spec suggestin?

December 10, 2008 | Unregistered Commentername:is a secret

Just noticed that he was saying hunters were overpowered...Maybe blizz did watch this and see because they're nerfing them pretty big according to MMO champion. GG Dorkins!! :)

December 10, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterShark

LoL Thanks guys. Best part of this site now is coming on to watch an episode and read the comments that follow and make me realize just how good of a player I am and to be thankful that I'm in a good guild.

LoL people saying "rogues, ret pallys and locks" are on the top of meters. Dorkins being excited, about 1100 dps only spammin steady shot. Watchin Schnoobins terrible rotation. I like them giving props to the Lyle for holding aggro when 3 dps are combined 2k dps. =P Although he is the best player, of the 4, by far.

In my guild, we've almost full cleared all 25's, our top dps is always hunters/mages with over 4k dps and rogues/DK right behind.

Tip for mages Pre-80, GO FROST! fire or frostfire is terrible pre-80 especially as your rateings drop. Frost will keep ur crit up thanks to FoF/frostbite w/ shatter.

p.s. 18th!!!! OMG!! I'm 18th. haha crazy kids.

December 10, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterThanks guys

Poor Jeff :D

The lack of dps is no doubt a gear issue, but I think before the xpac he was prot so maybe didn't have a full dps set for this? If you don't mind me giving a couple of tips that work for me, here they are:

1) stack strength and crit to inifinity (as ret, every item you wear should have these stats, not spell power as there is a talent that converts attack power to spell power)
2) Use seal of command/martyr. Use divine storm-judgement-crusader strike rotation. Use your stun for extra damage whenever you can.
3) Stand BEHIND mobs when attacking, because then you can't be parried and you also won't get caught in any cleaves etc from the mob.

Hope this helps. Great show, love it, keep it coming!
