The negatives are that he goes into too much detail for things that he doesn't understand in that much detail. Every video I have watched of his has had multiple errors (which is understandable, I watch them for the overview not for factual accuracy), some oversight, and failure to understand how certain things would play together in the real world. For example, in his BrM video he seems to have no idea how the math of Ox Orbs works, or how the talent Gift of the Mists works, despite the fact that all of the math for it was clearly spelled out by Celestalon in the thread he references in the video. Again, fair enough not everyone is a math person, but he certainly didn't help anyone understand these (actually very simple math wise) abilities in his video. It also bothers me when he does entire videos on the state of something that is obviously unintended and will be changed, because the video will be quickly worthless. Like his Fury war video, he says using Raging Blow is currently worthless and basically ignores it when talking about the class, but there is no way it is going live in that state.
Bit of an odd tangent, but been meaning to mention this for a while since literally every youtuber doing class videos has many mistakes, errors, and oversights in their videos. Which is to be expected when trying to learn ~36 specs in a month or two enough to make a video on. Watch these class guides if you want to see what abilities and talents classes have and how they work at a base level, but DO NOT watch these all encompasing youtubers to get any real indication of how something functions or what actual mechanics are. You need to find a streamer who is much more dedicated to that class at a high end for that.
