Trying something new for my Undermine videos. Doing a (amateurishly) edited guide and separate raw kill video, because having to talk for 10+ minutes about a first boss seems silly.
Did Vexie so far:

Usually all I do is complain, but this patch Blizzard made a big improvement on visual clarity and I thought it'd be fitting if I wrote a bit about that too.

About 5 hours of playing while doing RuneScape chores as they came up, got a few attempts in on the last boss of act 1, which seems like the first boss that's gonna really suck without using dodge (I am religiously opposed to dodge/parry simulator gameplay)
