he puts in alot of time and effort to die

Kungen might be the worst long standing wow player of all time. I’ve seen people that burned a token freshly at 80 run better in a raid

@@KodamaoftheWeastTree Dude's still a legend, but maybe hc isnt his strong suit lol

@@PrankCallFan845he takes too many risks which is obviously not the move for HC. Great for progression.

@@Metalbladelawncare But I feel like most of his clips it's not even his fault. I think I've only seen one clip where it was kinda his fault, that time he over pulled in Uldaman. I think Kungen is just cursed.

From someone who hasn't even participated in the sport. XD

@@gasser5001so yeah sports highlights

passing commentary without even playing... we know why.. asmon would die before 60

Thats why I'm here and I wasn't even playing WoW at the time. I haven't played since MoP but have rejoined since discovering Asmon.

@@SnoreProtection that doesn't matter, it's all about the backseat 20/20 hindsight what goes wrong and what should have been done and that's what makes this funny

You can still transef to normal classic for free

bro, thats not worth anything lets be real@@helloman5576

@@LoveAnimeLikeCrazy true..

Dude I tried Hardcore on D2 and D4 both times made it pretty deep and died to bullshit. Vowed both times to never play Hardcore in my life. I played vanilla wow until shadowlands (that's when me and gf switched to FFXIV and never looked back) I would never, ever, even if you paid me play classic hardcore. Even if you were one of the best players on your server in vanilla like I was you would still die from time to time to some bs. There is no way I would do hardcore.

@@alaniasdruid8616cool story bro

BFD

People have saved me multiple times and vice versa on HC. Great challenge with a very helpful community.

Holy shit are you me? Exact same story.

Mine was deadmines, I got kicked because I needed every green item not knowing what I was doing. My friend in the group at the time had to try and explain but I was only 10 xD

@@bw0mp3r44I love randomly coming across a stranger that’s clearly fucked and saving them…only for them to abandon you and you die instead 😂

It happened to me as well but with Kobolt Miners in Elwyn forest. Before trying HC, I was like theres no way people are dying to these, lmao

​@@the_Acamanu dont take candle

@@777gnom I am the candle!

wait...if you never played ANY version of WoW, how can you understand anything when Asmon explains stuff or mocks other players for their fails and deaths in HC...? Even a person who played only retail in his life would probably not understand everything about the gameplay and mechanics of HC WoW I think...for example I did play vanilla WoW back then and classic recently too, but even I didn't fully understand what happened at 20:00 when that tank was teleported back to the boss while falling down (even with the explanation of Asmon...) 😅

seeing ppl fail is funny. don't need to play wow to appreciate that.

@KrangShreddy I used to do QA for Red5/Firefall the Free Form (none tab target) MMO that ex-Blizzard devs made, I was a huge fan of the game as well so MMO lango overlaps (or roots from) WoW. True for many games but yes it'd be twice as funny if I knew more of the exact references. I also know what it's like to have 1,000+ hours in a game and still drop the ball on a raid, just not to point that'd I'd lose progression.

@Fryepod3628 You are blessed by the universe more than you know. I played this stupid game (not hardcore) on and off for 14 years. It was like alcohol. I would quit for 3 years, then some friend would ask me to help teach him the game and off I went. The level 1-60 was fun but then everything changes. It goes from being a game to a job to daily social torture playing with people who were too hardcore mixed with clowns who were drunk and "there to have fun" by getting all of us killed after a 4 hour raid. Enjoy these videos knowing that you never had to go through this kind of stuff. Edit: I envy you, man.

​@@Krang_e_Shreddy I play everquest and it's like 90% the same. pretty easy to understand these clips.

Clever. Great YT comment..

True. There are many options for warriors to level more easily, but that still does not eliminate the fact that paladins have way better survival toolkit than warriors do.

The videos are getting longer tho ❤

For some reason almost nobody knows that healing spawns the skeletons.

wrong. literally read 20 year old wowhead comments and they will also say that he spawns them regardless of healing.

I can't believe people do any HC content without looking up what the enemies do...

@@drafman1 People playing 20 years ago were even more clueless than modern Classic players lol It's very possible he still spawns skeletons at a much lower rate regardless of any healing, but it's wayyy more likely that people in the raid were just popping random heals without knowing any better and that was spawning skeles. Again it's any ticks of healing so that includes stuff like self-heals from damage abilities or gear and all sorts of niche stuff.

Yeah, I was thinking that. Even paladin tanks will say that tanking in hardcore as a paladin should not be done, but, I can think of ways that it might be the best option people have in certain situations. Don't know of it would be better to just not do the dungeon at all if you cant get a warrior, but if you are confident that your pally tank can indeed get you through the instance, well, then I hope you really do know what they are doing.

You always have the choice to say no

I tanked as paladin in hardcore from deadmines to BRD. I'll go ahead and mention pally tanks in dungeons (not raids) are the best. I'm currently level 60 on my hardcore paladin not to mention I did it all as holy spec.

No you are right. In fact attacking from the front with melee dps risks parries which increase the damage the tank takes. Unless that wasn't a thing in classic.

Yeah it doesn't even matter if the boss has a cleave, face them away from the rest of the group lol.

@@ruukinen its very much a thing in classic. so much so that its actually worse than in other iterations of the game.

It’s actually top tier.

It is at first. Until leveling starts to slow down in the 20s and pulls get larger. Then it's a decision between taking no risk (think: spending hours killing green mobs over and over again, no questing) or taking some risk by questing and dying to a RNG.

I was watching the vid in background while questing and I got my spider senses tingling because I've heard rat but didn't watch league video lol

I was expecting someone to get knocked into the lava.

Amphy the raidlead is an exemplar of calm and focus

Amphy literally died because somebody else fucked up the ice tombe mechanic

@@ventu7907 yea he did. Someone didn’t kick it and he paid the ultimate price, but he still lead them to a victory

@@CakeNinjaGaming what really led them to victory is the nature of the ez mode that comes with playing alliance... paladin blessings (BoW and BoS in particular) + marbles + fear ward is literally borderline softcore... try to do this as horde and see how far you get without your perma 20% threat reduction + 10% all stats + 25% increased boss miss chance, numerous fear wards and in turn you get spike aggro from WF and no BoPs.

@@ZugzugZugzugson i would 100% jump back into classic and do Hardcore on horde for this.

Just time your hits with the aggro drop. If you can't do that, you're not a tank. You're just some memebaby furry warrior.

As a paladin. How the hell would I be doing it as a fury warrior. He drops aggro on the tank and you have no taunt.

Was looking for this comment, yeah I found this out in my first run during classic launch, had a paladin tank and my DPS warrior ended up tanking this boss for that reason.

Yeah, definitely one of those fights that makes tanking with a paladin very scary and questionable. Gotta have the proper precautions and brain IF you decide you need to have a pally tank for this boss.

Paladin was my ultimate favorite bg toon. Many moons ago.

Tank it with ret prot and warrior tanking gear instead of consecration, that will give you higher single target damage and threat. And for god's sake use gbok if you have extra mana/gcds

My group has been leveling with our paladin tanking and the warrior dpsing, but we know the warrior has to pick up mobs that need taunting. It does make aoe stuff much easier, and all those fun disarm mechanics in early dungeons don't matter as much.

Best tanks in vanilla by far are Warrior, Druid, and then the Voidwalker pet in that order. Then maybe Paly, idk.

@@tiyangina3571 dude facts

I played a pally tank to 60 in SoM, mainly for the challenge, and I agree completely. You need to do everything you can just to be viable, usually overgearing instances by a huge amount. Using +spell damage gear and stacking consumes like arcane elixirs, frost oil, gift of arthas and even dragonbreath chilli for additional threat. Plus the pace can be really slow with the constant drinking.

@@tiyangina3571 Where in that ranking do you see shaman tanks? I've seen one in a 5-man dungeon (not max level though).

Ret are really op, if they know what they can do

Yeah, one could argue the players would not be in a shitty situation to begin with if the mobs just died faster anyway

Unless I'm mistaken ret paladins do actually do decent dps in dungeons until you get close to max level don't they?

honestly rets damage isnt that bad until their shit scaling comes into play at 60. Like yeah its always less, but not as much as you'd think before people start gearing up.

you'd get the same "Oh shit" utility if you just took a pally healer tho lol

U name it🎉

He learned it the hard way😅

he shouldn't have been up there. 100% his own fault.

@@ZugzugZugzugson 100% agreed, just wanted to share why he got basically 1-framed

​@@garrymullinsthanks for the analysis of what happened. I was curious, but watching on my phone I was just like "no way I am trying to figure this out on that little screen right now". Also, it's funny how you describe *what* happened and someone feels the need to respond who is at fault, even though you didn't say anything for or against the player 😅

That one made me upset too, how some people literally have *ZERO* respect for others and genuinely don't care about the in the slightest, because it doesn't affect THEM negatively. "Oh, sorry for destroying days / weeks of your efforts, by *doing that one thing I clearly knew to not do* (but since I didn't give a sht I did it anyways lol)." The level of ignorance is so much off the charts, it is malicious intent at that point. To not even consider talking to the person first, before crossing the line of doing it. That is the stuff that gives me trust issues, when someone deliberately ignores even such a simple wish in such a blatant way without any consideration about my reasons.

That’s about it yes
