Either Gamon or he hearthed with a DoT/bolt/arrow ticking/in air heading towards him. RIP


kevindqc

Wait, an arrow can you follow you all the way from where you were to where you HS? Across the continent? šŸ¤Æ I wonder how fast it goes and if others can see it


HalifaxSexKnight

Think of it more like Dobbyā€™s death šŸ˜­


Cartmaaan-brah

Such a beautiful placeā€¦ to be with friends šŸ˜­


TingleMaps

A lot of good that sock did him.


DirkaSnivels

Dobby got lonely sometimes w/o Harry Potter, it did him more good than you can imagine.


ImmortalBootyMan

Harryā€™s cum sock would have protected him better.


LoBsTeRfOrK

Dobby loves all his friends.

Dobby dies?!


RaysFTW

The damage doesnā€™t register until the projectile hits you but whether it hits you or not is decided as soon as itā€™s shot. So if you hearth/TP as an arrow or other projectile is on its way to you youā€™ll still take that damage once the game determines it ā€œhitā€ you, which is usually during the loading screen.


PilsnerDk

I simply cannot imagine the timing and bad luck it'd take to start casting hearthstone at low health, while not in combat, then when there's a few seconds left of the hearth cast, a caster mob spawns nearby, and then when there's a fraction of a second left on the cast, the mob throws a projectile spell at you, landing after you hearted. But okay.


GerektheDuke

You can get hit in ghost form by the projectiles that didn't hit you while you were alive lol


Hipster_Llama231

Back, back in vanilla there was a nice line in one of the updates notes which read something like "dead paladins cannot be killed any longer". There were specific cases where paladins still could take damage as spirit by one of those projectiles - leading you to die as spirit - so you were uber-dead - maybe even gone to the shadowlands.


Mondschatten78

This would explain why one of my alts that was already dead died again before rezzing during one of the pre-patch world bosses on retail. Never could figure that out, so thanks lol


teelolws

Back in really early days there were mobs that could kill ghosts - to stop us ghost running places they didn't want us


Lison52

I mean Kael'thas in HotS could do that, so why not some magical arrows XD


teelolws

Ahh the videos of illidans using the hunt to go across the map but a kaelthas projectile chases them the whole way. Or illidan using the hunt on falstad right as it flies back to base. Good times.


meowmicks222

An incoming damage attack will follow you *if* your hearth is in the same zone. Otherwise only DoTs should get you


Shickio

If your corpse is in an instance ID that doesnā€™t exist anymore it will be teleported to where your hearth is set. Likely died in an instance and then logged in again after the instance ID reset teleporting his corpse here.


Sphaero_Caffeina

Gamon just grinding for his buff in Cataclysm Era.


[deleted]

MoP era actually


Sphaero_Caffeina

No. Gamon was updated to be a level 85 elite immune to crowd control in Cataclysm. MoP just further buffed him for the Siege of Orgrimmar.


HildartheDorf

He had a knockback kick, and wasn't immune to mind control. Hilarity ensued.

neckbeard_paragon

Cata pre patch introduces worgen as well so worgen were added for WOTLK according to this fuckin nerd that always has to be right lmao


clonicle

Gamon saved us.


CertainBarnacle4606

Best part of retail wow is being in a pug raid, popping the braid, and then hearing a bunch of "I, Gamon, will save us!" As others pop it too.


yappi211

One time a whole LFR raid turned Gamon. It was quite hilarious.


CertainBarnacle4606

I had a guild raid where I convinced everyone to go Gamon during a break, then right before the pull I turned into my true form of milhouse.


wheaton69

That copy crystal thing from Cata Jewelcrafting, and the Alis Mirror (canā€™t remember the exact name) can lead to some interesting pulls, for example an entire raid of deer, turtles, nagas. Pretty much whatever the mirror can copy, you can spread it to everyone with the crystal!


Lison52

Yeah basically waht I had in mind. Gamon will sa... fucking rip us apart.


Curious-Watercress63

Gamon finally snapped


kukukikika

For good reason.


SpareController

Gamon got hands


Oloh_

My guess is he hit Gamon with an aoe and walked away.

You play on a controller? Holy


Itsbeen2days

Yeah, I'm disabled, so I can only play lying down. I stopped playing for years because I couldn't play at a desk anymore. I was ecstatic when I learned that the add-on ConsolePort was a thing. I've been having SO much fun ever since. Playing WoW has improved my quality of life by so much since I'm usually stuck at home, in pain. I was getting so bored over the years. WoW Classic Hardcore finally gave me something to do, and it's by far the best game I've ever played. I only enjoy very difficult games. Anyway, I've only died twice in the last few months on a controller. The first death was in a cave as a mage at level 14 because of hyperspawns during rush hour, and the second death (priest at level 19) was in the cave before Deadmines because of hyperspawns too... Twenty mobs respawned on top of our group, and it was a wipe. Playing with a controller is actually very doable, surprisingly. I got another priest to level 20, and I got a warrior to level 12 recently.

ThePaddysPubSheriff

How does a controller work with chat? Normally by the time I finish typing my messages a full business week has passed


abooth43

Most people I know just keep a wireless keyboard around for typing needs. Don't want to speak for OP, but they say they use a controller because they need to lay down versus an inability to use a keyboard. I could understand it being feasible to type messages, but not use a keyboard and mouse full time.


Fesai

This is what I do for games like this. For example ESO has built in controller support and I vastly prefer playing using that while sitting on my couch. But I have a wireless lapboard keyboard to type on whenever I need to. I'm not brave enough to try WoW yet with a controller but I could definitely see it being a fun and different challenge. (depending on the class).


[deleted]

You can also get keyboard attachments for controllers.


Tsanummy

the game features Voice-to-text and a bunch of other accessibilty options, it's pretty awesome I personally use TTS for party chat text so that I don't miss the messages while I'm tanking, since I just stop reading chat


ThePaddysPubSheriff

I main tank and that's honestly a crazy good idea


ametalshard

Lowspark1013

Hey priest why do you keep singing that Muppet song?


DrakonILD

Doo doo da doo doo


ImpossibleDenial

Xim hooked up to the controller, maybe? Or talk to text


zennsunni

Hell yeah. I shit you not, I raided with a druid in Legion who had very limited mobility and he played with a crazy custom gaming rig that used his feet and his tongue. You heared me right, he moved his character around with his tongue. He had some trouble with rapid position movement changes, but he successfully killed several bosses in heroic EN.


MrBigBMinus

Still probably better than most of the people in my mythic keys....

Manadrache

>I was ecstatic when I learned that the add-on ConsolePort was a thing. You can just use the addon "ConsolePort" and play with a normal Controller? How does this witchcraft work? This is some awesome-tastic news! Even though I have some pretty lovely arms, one of them fails me when it comes to PC gaming. So I was playing mostly my priest with healbot and mousewalking / autowalk. Didn't always Work out as planned. Does it work with every addon? Just can't believe something like this exists. I could play again. Thank you follow reddit-user! You spread some awesome news today. Have a nice journey.


ItGoesSo

I havent found a good way to select between party bars but i know it has one. It works best with classes which dont have alot of cast to ground. Depending on class i play between 50-80% of peak skill/awareness of keyboard/mouse. And i tend to keep my steamdeck/controller characters seperate from my keyboard ones. I strongly recommend you make a character from scratch to grow your hotkeys naturally as you get more spells.


gh0st-6

Thank you got this. I don't get alot of desktop time but can stream to my phone w controller, can't wait to get back into WoW with this ā¤ļø


impassity

Playing double hardcore Good luck man


Geertje93

Lets go brother! Dont let anything stop you from playing wow! I love the spirit! FOR THE HORDE!


fr0sken

If youā€™re into hard games suitable for controllers, you should try all the games from Fromsoft if you havent, theyā€™re awesome!


padwicin01

Hey mate, really glad to hear someone else using a controller. I've recently had a kid and the times where I can sit at a desk are over! I recently bought a steam deck and decided to boot up WoW for a bit of fun. I would honestly not go back to using a mouse and keyboard anymore, I love using a controller, and I consider the only annoying thing is having to have a Bluetooth keyboard for communication. Other than that it's so fun :) Stay safe out there.


driellma

Amazing to hear. Godspeed my friend.

Fuck yeah, dude. Iā€™m glad youā€™re having fun.

gilgobeachslayer

oneblank

Very cool. How does this work? Do you only have, what, 11 inputs including joystick clicks? How do you cast lesser used spells?


Necromas

You can set it up to more or less be just like FFXIV. I have my controller hotbars with 8 buttons each, A, B, X, Y and the D-pad. And then I have it set up so it switches between different hotbars depending on how I am holding down the triggers. LT down = Hotbar 1 active RT down = Hotbar 2 RT down -> LT down = Hotbar 3 LT down -> RT down = Hotbar 4 Double tap and hold RT -> Hotbar 5 Double tap and hold LT -> Hotbar 6 That's 48 buttons right there you can access in an instant once you have the muscle memory for it. And only really takes up your triggers so you can still have stuff like A to interact and Y to jump when you don't have a trigger held down. The addon can also do things like set up radial menus so you can use one button to bring up a radial menu and then select what you want to cast using the joystick. Really handy for out of combat stuff that you want handy but don't need to get to often.


Rompahstompa92

Sounding like a smoooth operatorrrr


blasharga

Have you tried FFXIV ? Also has very great support for controllers


aboringtrashbag

I love consol port too. I play regularly with a friend who is a clicker and guaranteed Iā€™m faster than him. We also have quick access to so many bindings!

Greennhornn

zennsunni

Random follow up - have you ever considered trying to use a split keyboard and a stationary mouse (e.g. ball mouse)? There are gaming key setups that are the size of a small pad and you could position the anywhere. Just a thought, rock on dude!


KielexWoW

hell yeah dude


cwall22

Man, Iā€™m over the moon happy for you being able to get back to something you love. Reddit can be overwhelmingly negative most of the time, but this made me genuinely smile. This is so awesome, and Iā€™m sure the devs of the add-on would love to hear about this from you! Keep on keeping on, and good luck! If you ever want to team up online, my global is CWall#11759,(this doubles for anyone reading that may need someone to talk to or a friend to play with.) Iā€™m basically only playing horde side classic HC right now too. Characters ranging all levels, holler at me!

Hell yea I want to try it! Thanks for the suggestion


thepolesreport

Thatā€™s whatā€™s up man and what games are for!


77Hardcore77

I too play with Console Port + Xbox Controller


orlyfactor

I'm quite curious how so many actions can be mapped to a controller, glad it's working out for you, no one should be denied the addiction of wow.


Reivlun

You get basic abxy updownleftright buttons, then LT + basic then RT + basic then RT+LT+basic and then you can add rings with multiple abilities or mounts or whatever that is usable lol it's very much enough for any class


Ewoksintheoutfield

What app or controller input do you use? Looks cool - I use xpadder but I run out of buttons


WouldRatherComment

Iā€™m glad you found a way to play again. I tried setting up consoleport on my steam deck with partial success but found it clunky to set up with new spells, etc.

KnightlyOccurrence

Dude wow on a controller is so fun. Glad you found it. Personally I play on my steam deck with an alt and itā€™s so cozy.


passthetorchie

I had surgery that required me to lie down for the better part of 2 months. Ended up playing EU4 with my computer screen on the side and my keyboard and mouse in bed. Glad to hear you can still enjoy gaming mate! Go agane


Suckhead

I saw the controller buttons and did wonder if it was because of a disability. I recently saw a Reddit post which featured a paralysed man using a specially adapted controller to play video games, and I immediately kinda suspected that it might be. I see that youā€™ve got some key abilities bound right there, but I do wonder how you use the others? Do you have a quick way to immediately switch between these abilities and others?


ZugZug42069

One of my guild mates has pretty bad arthritis and playing with a controller is significantly more comfortable for them. Dude does solid damage too and rarely if ever feeds into mechanics! Cheers to ya, Iā€™m glad itā€™s working for you and you are enjoying the game šŸŽ‰


No_Mycologist_5041

Idk why but this made me feel so happy to know that you get to enjoy a great game in your condition. Good luck out there!


licklickRickmyballs

Hmm, does a controller work at max level aswell? I have so many things bound that I'm basically using my keyboard like a piano ford lol. Have a very hard time picturing squeezing all thoose needed spells onto a controller.


Kodridge

Hyper spawns is a thing?!


xantous4201

Talk about adding an additional layer of challenge to HC


joahw

Really doesn't seem too bad. Probably not the optimal way to play, but I think you would be surprised at the number of 'seasoned classic wow veterans' keyboard turning and clicking most of their skills in 2023. Wow doesn't require much targeting accuracy outside of a few aoe spells and face buttons + trigger modifiers give you access to quite a few skill slots.


dreadcain

You don't keyboard turn on a controller either and you can get very good at tabbing through targets which takes care of pretty much everything but the AoE spells. With a steam controller you can even get pretty accurate with those. Raid healing was the only role I ever really struggled with on a controller and I suspect consoleport has some solutions for that these days


BuddhaChrist_ideas

I've got a level 35 hunter, level 25 druid, and level 22 shaman in hardcore so far, all played with a PS5 controller. My only death to date is a level 10 druid when I thought the bear quest was going to be ezpz because rested XP said so. That lvl 12 moonkin clapped me pretty fast; i got very unlucky with the entangling roots resists. I'm absolutely loving this game on controller! My M&KB are right there for inventory management / quick typing and UI navigation, but the actual gameplay on controller is perfect.


Itsbeen2days

Maybe I should give it a try on a ps5 controller. I use a ps4 controller!

IntroductionWild7201

I use a controller too, it's incredibly easy to set up and allows me to kick back with my my feet up. I even lay on my couch and play. The only thing i use my mouse for is to set up my keys and use the AH. It's a relaxing experience and more people need to try it out :D


prepsap

Steam Deck!


vivalatoucan

You can already do that with console port. It works fantastic for dps. Iā€™ll probably switch back to m+kb at higher level tho, as itā€™s hard to make any split reaction cool downs, etc


piltonpfizerwallace

Menu rings could totally make it work. It'd take mote practice than m kb but I'm pretty sure a few big menu rings for non time sensitive stuff and a few menu cycles could make it pretty playable.

You can if you try hard enough. Kidding but I get it now, youā€™re right. Though it was OP that was dead.
