* AluminumChristmasTrees: As ''World of Warcraft'' is being changed constantly, some of the mechanics shown and discussed can seem like they're wrong to newer players:
** At this point in ''[=WoW=]''[='s=] history, it was downright ''common'' for healers, no matter their class, to wear cloth pieces, as non-cloth armor pieces with the appropriate stats were both rarer and usually inferior.[[note]]The actual piece Leeroy is going for in the video is not particularly useful, though; most raiding healers avoided dungeon sets like the plague due to their lack of healing bonuses.[[/note]] It's less common now because of in-game bonuses given to players who wear pieces of ''only'' their "preferred" armor class, as well as better itemization.
** Paladins today that didn't play back in those days might not even know what Divine Intervention did back then. It was removed from the game before returning in Patch 7.0.3 as a level 90 paladin passive that activates Divine Shield on any attack that would kill the paladin. Originally, Divine Intervention worked by instantly killing the casting paladin, while making another character completely immune to all attacks for 2-3 minutes (that character would also be unable to move or attack themselves). The ''actual'' use of this spell was that, if you were about to wipe, a paladin could cast it on a healer, or some other class that could resurrect, so the group wouldn't have to release and run back. Raids at the time had rapidly respawning trash so this was very beneficial and would save a lot of time.

* DidNotDoTheResearch: Many abilities are used quite hilariously wrong in this video. Fear rotation isn't helpful in the Rookery due to the respawning eggs, and Divine Intervention is completely wasted on spellcasters, rendering them unable to cast and putting a character with the ability to tank and heal out of action in the process. As a result, the plan wouldn't have worked even without what Leeroy did.
