Introduction
This (on the right) is PirateSoftware
He's otherwise known as Jason Thor Hall - or more importantly - as Maldavius Figtree, his online Fursona when he played Second Life.
He rose to fame by (ab)using YouTube Shorts. In these he shares his outlandish knowledge on a plethora of topics ranging from computer science (hacking), running a ferret rescue operations to working at blizzard. In fact, he will mention at least one of the topics within 10 seconds. He's also a game developer and a streamer. The sad reality - he has no clue about anything. People tend to believe his words as he appears wise and smart and stuff. His KiwiFarms Thread has 160 pages of people rightfully hating and collecting his r-slurred statements. He's god's gift to mankind - and he'll make sure you think so too.
Drama
He's also a self-proclaimed "top-tier" World of Warcraft player with years of experience and an actual history of working at Blizzard - and then wimped out on his hardcore (permadeath) streamer guild OnlyFangs, getting multiple others killed as he ran away from a very survivable encounter. To clarify, various streamers are currently running a hardcore classic world of warcraft guild called OnlyFangs. The point of hardcore is that you only have one life, if you die at any point of the game, you have to re-level which may take at least 120 hours. So unlike regular classic which is piss-easy baby mode, dying is a big deal. That's why you need to trust your teammates in a dungeon or raid, as your in-game life depends on them NOT fricking up. Pirate did frick up. In fact, he fricked up so bad that the entire streaming world sans his paid shill buddy Asmongold is pooping on him. Rightfully so. Not only did he frick up, he also refused to acknowledge even a modicum of accountability, and instead iteratively double triple or quadruple downs on his original statements. The entire /r/LivestreamFail subreddit is full of threads pooping on him and it's genuinely the most endearing thing I've ever seen. Not even universally hated child male feminists are as despised. Never mess with !g*mers:
I won't go into more detail here because most of these threads are just hating for the sake of hating or other known streamers giving their extremely valuable opinion but
this is the original thread that started all of it - containing the now infamous clip.

Didn't his teammate say to run so he ran. What's the problem.

In case you aren't baiting, running (in this context) doesn't mean to literally drop everything and run away. It means disengage and kite towards the entrance. Everyone understood this outside of the roach.

He plays the class that makes running away safely possible but didn't do the thing that let's everyone else run away too.
He had 4 options that I know of offhand that would've saved that situation:
Instead of doing any of those, he spams blink to get as far away from the group as possible, says he has no mana while hovering over 2 options that would instantly refill his mana, then spams a useless shield spell on himself to reiterate that he has no mana to help them. This is despite the guy having a long track record of bragging about how he's always the one to fight through and save the group in a tough situation like this.
Its like if a firefighter bragged about fighting fires, then panicked and wasted a fire extinguisher on the floor instead of the fire and didn't pull out his backup extinguisher then blamed the 2 people for dying when he did nothing to put out the fire.

I watched the clip from his perspective. (here)
Rattiest shit ever. Guy has enough mana to cone of cold and frost nova AND had a major mana potion AND mana gem. Then, in absolutely no danger he either uses ice barrier just to drain his mana further on purpose or panicks but regardless he could've essily potted his mana back up and blizzard'd again.

Not only did he have mana gem up, you see him mouse over it, clearly thinking about using it, then pulls away and reiterates that he doesn't have the mana. The real kicker is that he also had Robe of the Archmage right next to the mana gem that would grant him more mana as well. He basically had a full mana bar on demand but instead just throws out a frost shield with absolutely nothing around him while telling the others he can't do anything for them.
It was purely him trying to save face because he realized after saying that he didn't have mana, that he did in fact have the means to swing things. Rather than going "wait, I can throw some more spells after all" he doubled down on burning what mana he had to pretend he couldn't help.

This is a good explanation. Did you know Amanda Palmer may have led an illegal s*x dungeon?
