I performed a move during the speedrun that I invented, which had never been done before and saved the raid one minute. Basically to perform my pull, you have first to not die which is kind of obvious, but you have so other things to take care of. I need to take care of not spacing the mobs too much. So what I do is have an elixir of "track undead" which allows me to see in my mini map where mobs are exactly, so I can figure out while I wait at the door exactly how I am going to do my pull. In other words, this pull never looks the same, and you need to analyze what you have in front of you every time. Which is why a lot of rogues saw me doing it, have tried to do it like me.

Comment by crimsonraidSo absolutely no one else plans ahead. Got it.Comment by vitor210To the 3 people still playing Classic, this must be one heck of an achievementComment by SAWHWho cares?Comment by WyrmbaneI'm having flashbacks to FIFA 2000 after that first song came on.

Now I feel old...Comment by GiseroMaybe I am too casual to understand, but what exactly is the achievement and "never before seen" strategy here? Dodging trash by tracking their movement? It feels like the article wants to heighten my expectations and then just stops without examples or reasons why this saves so much time.Comment by JogaoneI do believe the previous WR was 43:29 from noobs. Really impressive though! nice videoComment by ErorBoyWho cares?Comment by Dekos3Encore un coup des TribesComment by Melkksettled down to watch this while eating and had to turn it off after 2 minutes due that horrid filter on the entire video.. as if classic doesn't look bad enough already..Comment by Dottbotcool but you spelt Naxxramas wrongComment by ZalkaNaxxramus is a new raid ? ;)Comment by AdggI really enjoyed the video, nicely done.

Great video, for someone who's always had mixed feelings about the increasingly cartoonish style, I like a slightly more sober style that really fits the "undead" atmosphere of NaxxramAs.

Great video for a great performance!
