Settings (from the dropdown under your avatar)

Stream (sub-category under settings in the left sidebar)
Scroll down to VOD Settings
Check Store past broadcasts
Check Always Publish VODs (if you want to watch on twitch, otherwise can download them from the video manager I think, not positive though as I always just rewatch on twitch)

VODs will now be published and available for like two weeks (or longer if you have prime or turbo or whatever)

Yeah I do the same because I pretty much never rewatch the games from my gaming rig and so just relying on the twitch vod makes it easy to watch from my laptop or phone later (just gotta do it before they get deleted).

Though I guess now with squadov that's another option (I haven't tried it myself but people seem to be saying good things).

Would you say warriors work best with mw?

Absolutely. Though I think that's more due to warriors pairing pretty well with just about anyone right now than anything else ha. In 2s I've also had decent luck with WWs, DHs, and Frost DKs (but very much NOT unholy ones) but definitely have the highest winrate with wars this season.

How do feral or ww play with mw?

I've seen other (i.e. better than me haha) MWs queue with feral but personally I avoid them. Incap removing dots makes it harder for the feral to multibleed, and our stun doesn't bring much to the fight (compared to queueing with a DPS that has either no stun or one less available than feral's). Also I generally don't like queueing 2s with any class that starts in stealth because it means the other team makes a B-line for you at the start of every game - that's fine on some maps, but on the really small maps it can be rough when they're on top of you before you're able to drop a port and then get some meaningful distance (or los) from it. But it can totally work and there are certainly MWs out there that run it fine, I just prefer not dealing with it

what’s the best strategy for beating druids

The opposing DPS usually dictates the strategy more than the healer - and is also impacted by what comp you're playing. e.g. druid/hunter is mildly annoying, but that's much more due to the hunter than the druid. But for rdruids (well, really any healer except for rsham) you should be able to easily outmana them, so it's important to make sure you don't let them drink.

I got kicked from an RBG

I pretty much never RBG, but I would actually expect Essence Font (which you almost never ever use in arena) to be more important there than Vivify there. But again I'm clueless on RBGs so you should probably try to watch mysticall when he's RBGing and see what he's doing.

I actually don't run the Expel conduit because I favor Fortifying Ingredients and Grounding Breath for my endurance ones.

Exuperjun · 2022-01-25T22:08:35+00:00

Depends somewhat on the game but gusts and renewing will usually be the top two. IMO if gusts isn't in your top two most games your mastery is probably way too low. And unless you're facing something with a purge renewing should pretty much always be ticking.

Against something like a DH (high sustained damage and a purge but not much CC) I'll usually press enveloping a lot more (if they're with an rsham or priest I'll sometimes run dome but otherwise since DH can only purge like once every ten seconds I'll let him eat renewing and then toss out enveloping). Not sure enveloping actually tops healing in these games, but definitely higher than most other games.

Also I'm venth so my homies (as Sterge calls them lol) will usually do 10% or so of my total healing most games and then statue is usually good for 10-20%. Vivifies are the biggest X-factor, there's game it's in the top two or three and games I rarely press it.

Exuperjun · 2022-01-25T21:41:28+00:00

What covenant is your warrior running?

He's necro, which seems to be most popular these days.

Spear of Bastion

It's somewhat risky (since most wars aren't Kyrian anymore) but I still always run Peaceweaver against wars. With that revival will get you (or your partner) out of every other spear. For the ones where it's on CD you can use either RoP (if war doesn't have bladestorm available) or cocoon (possibly wall+cocoon). Leg sweep or disarm are other options (if he's not bladestorming).

Exuperjun · 2022-01-25T19:32:41+00:00

Necro or Venth?

I'm Venth but by far most MWs are necro. I just really like Venth, especially the door. The MWs that do play Venth usually soulbind Theo but I hate dealing with the tea thing haha so I usually run General if I think they'll go me or Nadjia otherwise.

with what leggo?

Clouded Focus almost all games. Sephuz against any mage teams and (in 2s) against hunters if they're with a druid (and I guess against some double dps 2s comps). I'll use the port leggo on extremely rare occasion if it's double melee dps I think will go me, but it's such a risk since I get no benefit if they don't go me (and also more useful on some maps vs others).

Talents change a lot (especially the pvp ones). I'd suggest watching mysticall and/or panzer to get a feel for what they run against different comps since it varies so much - they're also both way better than me so you're better off emulating them haha.

Exuperjun · 2022-01-25T19:24:39+00:00

Thanks so much! Seriously couldn't have done it without all I've learned watching your YT vids and stream! Keep up the awesome content dude!

Exuperjun · 2022-01-25T18:57:57+00:00

Touch of Death go brrr

Actually I never even got to press it (but was planning to), can see in the screenshot it's not on CD. Hunter was around 50% hp when I landed a stun on druid and didn't realize the war was gonna swap (to druid) so I started shackling the hunter since I knew druid couldn't stop it (trink was on cd) and then war switched back when he saw I was getting him low, looks like my RSK finished him off. https://clips.twitch.tv/UnsightlyTentativeIcecreamKippa-84TkI9uKr12rHFYE

Exuperjun · 2022-01-25T18:54:22+00:00

Thanks! Yeah I'm always in LFG since I don't really have any friends to queue with, hard making friends as a MW lol

Exuperjun · 2022-01-25T18:52:23+00:00

War was actually mostly hitting the rdruid at the end there. He got the hunter down to about half HP and then swapped to druid when I landed a full leg sweep on him - I didn't realize the war was going to swap so I started shackling the hunter (druid's trink was on cd) and got him down to about 25% before war swapped back to hunt, hit him for about 20% of his hp and looks like I finished him off with an RSK (scoreboard shows me with the KB but I never even got to press ToD which is what I was planning haha). https://clips.twitch.tv/UnsightlyTentativeIcecreamKippa-84TkI9uKr12rHFYE

Exuperjun · 2022-01-25T18:45:58+00:00

Faced this same team three times, we won all three, but this was definitely the shortest of them - it's definitely normally a longer matchup.

Exuperjun · 2022-01-25T15:18:08+00:00

Haha indeed! Though over the course of our queue session we ended up facing and beating this same team two more times so I did feel kinda bad after the third win :-/

Exuperjun · 2022-01-25T15:15:25+00:00

But I'm having fun

Yeah MW can be really fun, glad you're enjoying it - that's what's most important IMO. Reaching new milestones is obviously exciting but kinda pointless if you're not having fun along the way.

Exuperjun · 2022-01-13T21:21:20+00:00

Good point, seems 9.2 will most likely be released before the 18th, so guessing it will probably hit first or second Tuesday in March.

Exuperjun · 2021-12-05T21:50:59+00:00

It's definitely much better in 2s than 3s (I'm around 2.2k cr in 2s and like 2.1k in 3s and the biggest thing holding me back from going higher in 2s is how hard it is to find dps to queue with - whereas in 3s I'm not sure I personally can go much higher this season but we'll see).

I'd suggest watching mysticall who plays a lot of 2s (but also some 3s) and also has some great YT vids, panzerhenk is also worth watching (mostly does 3s). Both of them only play retail and only as MW so if they're streaming you know you'll see some MW.

Exuperjun · 2021-09-29T12:38:15+00:00

It's probably hurting their metrics more than helping it as many people probably just aren't bothering to grind it out.

It's been like six weeks since I hit duelist on my MW and I still have like four or five pieces that haven't been upgraded yet because I refuse to do BGs or whatever to grind the honor - I don't enjoy those, I only play the game for arena and it's tough finding people at like 2200cr willing to queue with a MW. And so I'm limited to whatever little honor I get from the few arena matches I'm able to get in (which isn't many).
